Maki & Ramen St James Quarter in Edinburgh, City of

Quality price; there's no comparison! Flavors of the dishes & Soup...

our server was Patrycia and she was lovely, a little quiet but fast and good at her job. Made sure we were happy and got us our food and drinks quickly. Always come here with my boyfriend and came with my mum today so happy to see the service never lacks ☺️

It's meat. There are only two pieces of meat. It's very hard. It's the most unpalatable meat I've ever eaten. After all, it's hard not to taste good meat. The soup is good. The noodles could be a little firmer. The vegetarian garlic soup is great, delicious, comfortable, and has a different taste His meat has a strong smoky flavor, but it tastes like something else. It's not very delicious, but it has a taste that I've never tasted before. It has a bit of a bean flavor.

Excellent sushi as always at Maki & Ramen. Worth the 3.5 hour drive.

Went with the kids as they love noddles. Staff looked exhausted and looked as if they were forced this job. We sat and were ignored for a good 20 minutes, and we finally had to shout out for the waiter to take the order, which he did, and food came pretty quickly. Mine was rice, which was cold that explains why it came so fast as it was already made earlier it was OK kids enjoyed their noddles bill came to a total of £58 with £5.50 service charges which service wasn't really provided would i go again i don't think so as I was made to feel special and the atmosphere wasn't good.

Run, don't walk and order the Steak Tatake... with extra steak. Here ends my public service announcement.

Allison was fantastic, so was the ramen and dep fried salmon roll 😍

Alice was lovely, highly recommend, friendly and personable! Food was great and fast also

Felt like we were back in Tokyo. Slightly more expensive but probably in line with most central Edinburgh restaurants. Good atmosphere and good food.

The worst ramen ever. Overcooked seafood on one. Portion size of chasu was ridiculous I ordered a double portion and was given four small slices. Cold reheated eggs. Table inside yet cold air con on constantly. Would not recommend avoid like the plague

We love love love it here. Food is always amazing. Our waitress Alice was lovely and very friendly. Can't wait to come back

Alice was incredibly friendly and accommodating! The food was absolutely amazing—especially the ramen. I was starving, and this place did not disappoint. Visiting Edinburgh as a tourist, and so far, this has been one of the best food experiences. Highly recommend!

Molly was a very attentive server, she was patient and quick and looked after our dinner very well!

Molly was an amazing server, she was very helpful in helping us choose through the menu

Visited with my Mum and sister and the service from Calum was fantastic. Highly recommend for great food, drinks and service!

Amazing place. Great food, great atmosphere and we had brilliant service from Calum who made sure we had everything we needed and was very attentive. Would recommend 👌

Rory. J had excellent customer service and so helpful.

Great food which is closest to authentic Japanese taste among the restaurants I have had so far. Tantan is my favourite amongst the all ramens in this restaurant. Molly the server has also been fantastic and attends to the customers quickly. Thank you Molly!

Came here for lunch and was honestly such a delight! The food was amazing and all the staff were so lovely - our server molly was especially nice and efficient. Will definitely be returning!

Food was so good and Molly was super nice! Had a great visit

I have had our meals here for many times and I was glad to see the manager whom I had met last December. He is always friendly and has a great management skill which keeps the restaurant an outstanding quality. Both of us see it throughout the dining. We will definitely return and would be happy to see him and his team there again. Many thanks for the team’s services!

charming young man named rory provided an excellent level of service! food was stunning as always.

Amazing service from Rory, thank you 😃

Today we got served by Calum, and it was one of the best services we’ve ever gotten in Edinburgh. Calum was extremely kind and accommodating - every workplace should have a Calum.

Love the food as always it's fantastic, great Service from Callum! Go Callum!

Loved the ramen, sushi and good vibes. The service staff was very friendly and especially waiter Calum gave us a great time! Definitely coming back here !

Excellent ramen! Really enjoyed

Food is always amazing, Rory was an excellent server!

Rory was fantastic! Great service, great recommendations, some of the best service I’ve had here!

Rory was amazing! Packed our food so demure and mindful

Amazing food!! Thanks to Rory (not sure if I’m spelling correctly) he was extremely nice and accommodating. Me and my friend will definitely come back!

Excellent food, very cozy place.

Forced service charges are a really bad practice. Pay your staff more

I think the food today was good

We found it almost by chance, while walking around the shopping center and it was a total success. We returned the next day to try other dishes! Everything is delicious and for a very appropriate price for the quality of the entire menu. A delight. I wish I had it close to go every week!

I come to this restaurant often and the food and service is always great! Alice was super helpful with our table!

It is quite busy but the food is very good, the waitresses are friendly and try to serve you quickly

Alice was lovely! Such a calm and welcoming pressence

alice was an absolute delight the whole meal and really helped us. Also helped us with the splitting of the payment. Handled very professionally and didn’t make us feel uncomfortable for having to pay cash and card.

Decent, kind of has the chain restaurant feel. Food was good, a little overpriced but what you should expect from the new st James's centre.

By far the best Ramen or Sushi you will ever have. We are regulars and this place has never disappointed us. Excellent service and ever better food. Top in Edinburgh

Nice restaurant on the shopping street in Edinburgh. The selection of dishes is good and there is also a lot for vegetarians. I had the crispy chicken veggie in curry sauce. The sauce was too over-seasoned for me personally, but the veggie chicken made up for it and was very tasty.

Great atmosphere and good customer service and the food was amazing.

Nice place and delicious ramen! Definitely worth a visit!

Mega Japanese restaurant! The restaurant is in the shopping center so it was a bit noisy, but still a really nice place. The service was really super friendly and fast, ordering was very easy. :) The food was really delicious and the portions were big enough. :) Very authentic ramen and definitely recommended!!

Had the chicken katsu curry rice today ..the portion was smaller, cutlet was low quality and curry sauce was terrible - such a difference from my previous visit . I won't be a repeat customer in this place again.

Good for vegans and good service

Only one thing may be improved. Put both part of the boiled egg, please!

Fantastic place to eat, with an amazing atmosphere and fantastic food, some of the best ramen I have ever had!

After a lively night out, we headed to Maki & Ramen for a breakfast bite—and it did not disappoint! We were seated promptly and offered water alongside our drinks, which was a nice touch. We were asked if we had any dietary restrictions or allergies. I believe our waiter was called Alice, I went for the Seafood Hell, The broth was rich, the seafood fresh, and the spice level hit just right. I’d order it again in a heartbeat. Even as the place got busier, the service remained top-notch. Friendly staff, great food, and a solid atmosphere—what more could you ask for? Very good vibes I really recommend this place.

Food was great, atmosphere great, Alice our server was great. Will definitely est here again

All amazing, food was excellent, just a bit of a wait for a table.

Ordered vegan ramen, came with an egg and they offered to scoop it out before I asked for a fresh bowl. Far from ideal and leads to question the allergen procedure here. Travelled over a hundred miles to eat there for my birthday as it’s my fave but unfortunate the service wasn’t its usual standard.

Maki & Ramen is a unique mix of Asian food cuisine restaurants. I visited the one at the shopping mall in Edinburgh. On arrival, the staff beat a drum 🥁 by the door, and the entire staff team welcomed you in chorus voices. The food is good and the service is great. It isn't too expensive, but very affordable. There is a lot of food on the menu list, including tofu and sushi. I had the miso soup and teriyaki chicken. Although it was my first time, I did enjoy every bit of it. It was nice and very warm. Will I visit again? I will definitely visit again. 😄😃😄

Hellamen (as spicy as Shin Ramyun)_about 12 pounds / 9 piece raw fish set_about 14 pounds Although the raw fish was expensive, it wasn't that fishy and was really delicious and thick. Needless to say, the ramen was perfect. The disappointing thing is that there were a lot of people in the store, so I sat next to the drum, but the wind came in and it was cold, and I was startled every time I played the drum. The staff seemed to know that and kept hitting me softly. It was a store worth the service tip. Overall, it was a place I would like to visit again.

Alice was excellent and looked after us

Molly was a great server! Food was great!

Had a lovely dinner, high recommend the vegan pumpkin roll. Thank you to Molly for the excellent service!

Food was great today, molly was very kind and helpful!

Had a great time. The food was amazing. And the service was superb thanks to Molly! 👍

Everything about my experience was amazing. Greeted kindly at the door and didn’t have to wait too long for a table. Servers were all friendly without being intrusive, and the food was delicious. Chicken ramen was piping hot, perfectly balanced with the chicken succulent and juicy. Would highly recommend - thank you!

I love sushi and ramen and this restaurant do them both so well. It's a slightly fast food feeling style restaurant, casual and busy. In my opinion more of a lunch stop than a dinner venue. The staff are great, polite and helpful, the ramen is tasty (would prefer some additional options such as grilled chicken instead of deep fried but that's a small point). The sushi is nicely prepared and the menu has a good selection. You may have to queue to get in but for a well priced Japanese experience it's worth a few minuted stand.

The food is simply stunning. I really enjoyed the garlic ramen.

Lovely food and amazing staff, thank you so much!

The coldest ramen I have ever eaten, the table they gave me at the door with a horrible draft. The coldest ramen I've ever had, also the table next to the door was the coldest I've ever sat.

Great as usual, Chun has been lovely and provided a fantastic service.

Great food, great people and well worth the wait!

Very yummy! Sushi was tasty! Pick this place over the “Greek” Resturant upstairs.

Not a kids’ friendly place. Good for adults only.

Delicious and fantastic. If you are fan of asian cuisine this place is a must visit in Edinburg.

Fantastic experience! The food is phenomenal and the matcha creme brulee is a must!

We ordered 2 vegetarian Ramen dishes (Hell Ramen and Tan Tan Ramen) and vegetarian Sushi (Yasai Roll). The Yasai Roll was really really nice, finished it quickly in no time. Both the Ramens were great too, the right amount of veggies and soup. I would rate both Ramen and Sushi 4/5. This restaurant is inside St. James Quarter mall on the -1 floor. The ambience is great, with cherry blossoms set up on the ceiling, looks very beautiful. There is also a wide screen on the wall showing different images of Mt. Fuji and what not, looks very appealing. The staff was friendly, polite and cute. Loved the place overall!

I love Ramen! My mum tried the ramen for the first time ever and she loved it! Great service, and lovely atmosphere!!

So good! Nipped in for a quick lunch, and ended up eating far too much. Great selection of food, lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff. Very filling for a reasonable price.

Me and my sister eat here twice, I really love the black garlic tonkotsu. The black garlic add deep flavour to the soup that why it’s fantastic.

they have a really good selection of both vegan and vegetarian selection! really recommend the vegan hell ramen

Epic food, environment and Jack F is awesome!

Matthew was really an Amazing host and very wellcoming waiter, the food was great!

The venue was very busy but atmosphere still enjoyable. Friendly staff. Food was fantastic, tasting fresh and didn't need to wait long. Takoyaki is absolutely smashing, recommend 200% and will be coming back for more of them as well as to try out other delicious dishes on the menu.

Amazing food amazing service, devoured.

You always have to wait in line, that doesn't mean that they serve well. You order and pay from the QR on the table, the katsu curry was not bad.

Can order from QR code or from a member of staff. They are very friendly and willing to help answer any questions. Food arrived quickly and was delicious.

Staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was super cozy, and the food was delicious! I'd definitely eat here again, it's excellent value for your money, and the sushi was to die for!

Hands down the best Ramen in Edinburgh! Staff are always super friendly! 10/10

Alice was lovely! Food great - bit cramped and noisy but otherwise lush

Amazing place! Wonderful ramen! Alice gave a great service.

Nice ramen and atmosphere. Alice was lovely and polite.

Lovely lunch, very welcoming and our waiter Jayce was professional and contribute to the nice moment we had.

The food was so good order the chicken ramen one of the best ramen I ate in Edinburgh.

Every time I visit Edinburgh, I make it a point to stop by Maki Sjq, and a big reason for that is Patricia! She provides such warm and exceptional service that it feels like coming home. She’s always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely cares about making your lunch/dining experience perfect. The food, of course, is absolutely amazing – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. With Patricia’s great service and the incredible dishes, it’s easy to see why this restaurant is a favorite of mine. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home with incredible food and outstanding service, Maki Sjq is the spot – and Patricia will make your visit unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back again!

Always a great experience, had a nice chat with Jason about literature. Quick service too.

Absolutely lovely service today! We were served by Zsolt O who was super friendly, attentive and helpful! 10/10 service from him! All the rest of the staff were lovely and welcoming too. Will 100000% be back! :)

beautiful salmon sashimi - recommended

When we asked a waitress to bring us some tap water, she gave us an expression of “can’t you tell I am busy right now?”. She said she would bring us later but I have never indicated that she had to bring us tap water right immediately. Come on if you have to be grumpy towards such an innocent request. Please don’t be a waitress and choose another profession.

Large selection, we tried sushi and ramen, very tasty! The staff was quick and attentive even though the store was busy. Absolute recommendation!

Other than the mall setting and cramped tables this place was great. The ramen and service was excellent.

Wonderful staff, delicious food!

One of my all time favourites! I wish theyd have a franchise in dublin💕

It was a bit chilly sitting near the entrance, but that’s probably because they’ve tried to maximise the number of tables in the restaurant—which I can’t blame them for since it’s so busy! We always seem to get seated near the entrance, though, probably because we’re walk-ins. The vegan ramen options are fantastic—so much flavour and variety. And don’t forget to sign up for their loyalty programme—you can earn free gifts pretty quickly, and it’s totally worth it!

Amazing ramen!! Big bowl and super yummy. Maki was lovely too. Loved all the food
