Umi Japanese Cuisine in Edinburgh, City of

Incredible food and amazing experience, can’t wait to go back!

Food is phenomenal and the restaurant is really nicely decorated. We've been a couple of times now as a group of 6 and 8 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it each time.

Lovely restaurant. Have been multiple times and service is always fast and friendly. Everything we’ve had has been delicious, but I’d especially recommend the matzesoba

I haven't been here before but I always see the pictures on the outside and it looks tasty so I'll give it 5 stars

We had a tremendously good meal, the food was deliciously fresh and the staff friendly. I would definitely recommend eating here, delicious!

Oh. My. God. It happened. I've finally found a Japanese place that is absolutely divine (which took me years!). The interior - 5 stars, the service - 5 stars, the food - 5.5 stars out of 5. I ordered the stonebowl with salmon, salmon and avocado maki, and homenade mochi ice cream for dessert. The sizzling stone bowl with the freshest salmon and crispy rice (where is touched the bowl the longest) was lovely, the maki - gorgeous (to the extent that no picture was taken until I realised the plate's empty), and that mochi ice cream is honestly the best dessert I've ever had in Scotland (having been here since June '22). The staff were so friendly and the whole lunch experience SO, SO good! Next time I'm in Edi you bet you'll find me there, all the options on their menu make me want to try everything they have to offer. You're been warned that you're absolutely missing out if you never visit UMI. One love ❤️

Great Japanese food with sushi and ramen. Everything we had was delicious. Nice decor and ambience with friendly staff.

Food is good but not really worth the money. Drinks are a rip-off, £3.2 for a small glass of coke. Sushi's itself is still expensive for what it is, almost £6 for 2 small salmon sashimi. Service was OK but not friendly. Atmosphere non-existent, sitting is not comfortable as you sit on a wooden bench like sit.

Such friendly service and the sushi is so FRESH. I love the cozy atmosphere. 10/10 recommend, not cheap food, amazing quality!

Delicious food and lovely calming atmosphere. Definitely order the stone bowl rice with grilled eel!

Lovely experience. Really worthy!

It was my first time eating at their new Edinburgh location. I had a sushi starter consisting of salmon nigiri and unagi followed by karage chicken and their Iberico pork in ginger sauce. I was thoroughly impressed by both the taste and presentation or my meal. The sushi tasted fresh and flavours were well defined not overpowering. The karage chicken was juicy and the batter crisp. the pork dish was something new for me it was delightful the flavour was rich and the ginger sauce was almost addictive. The staff were welcoming and attentive but most importantly to me did not do that thing where they wait until you take the first bite and it's still in your mouth when they ask you how good the food is haha. The restaurant has a cosy and peaceful vibe which is enhanced but the style of the restaurant. my only complaint is that I did not have time to try everything on the menu. think a return visit will be in order soon.ps please note price wise I do thing it was absolutely worth it but I by more than I thought would it was all too temping haha.

Had dinner here alone without booking in advance. The decoration is lovely. Ordered Truffle Ramen which tasted good but quantity was not enough for one person. Also ordered chicken gyoza which tasted good. Service was great though. 10% service charge was automatically applied to the bill without mentioning anywhere in the menu. Overall it's okay but feel a bit overpriced when you spend over £30 and still feel hungry after that. Service is good. The Truffle Ramen on the left is the same as chicken gyoza. It tastes normal but the portion is small. You will feel hungry after eating it. If the price is more expensive, Zhong will automatically charge an additional 10%. If you want to stop your addiction, give it a try.

Big selection of Japanese food and really cute atmosphere. I got the set menu for 33 pounds and it was honestly a steal with sashimi, nigiri, ebi lollipop, pork belly dish, sushi rolls, miso soup. Nigiri quality was up to omakase standards. My boyfriend had the ramen and he thought it was a bit overwhelming.

Everything was perfect. I felt like I was in Tokyo. The shop design was superb. The products were high quality and delicious.

Excellent food in a cool restaurant. Service was spot on, highly recommended.

A fantastic experience where the atmosphere , food and friendly service is top class ,the ramen was the chicken karaage and easily it was the best ive ever had , the broth was tasty and spicy and the chicken had a fantastic flavour , we had gyozas to start and they were so good. The service was excellent from all staff and the booths where you eat are a nice touch as they shut you into your own little area , very recommended

Lovely place, very friendly staff and hearty ramen

Excellent Ramen in Edinburgh! Love atmosphere and service super cute

We were sat downstairs, in a small isolated “basement“ room with 5 tables. Atmosphere was very bad. We both got ramen, and tbh I never had ramen where the broth had this little flavour. It was all very bland! The service was the one good thing, waiters were friendly.

fantastic!!! i recommend the negi toro futomaki. the tuna tastes super fresh and so delicious.

Came here because it is so hyped on social media but the food was actually mediocre at best. Got ramen and curry so maybe we just ordered the wrong food. Food arrived quickly though and the staff was very nice.

Lovely small Japanese restaurant. Food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend to visit.

Lovely cozy japanese restaurant in a nice area in the city!

Amazing food, lovely staff and a cute interior. Sushi roll was SO good 😋

For a sushi lover this is INCREDIBLE. The cool decoration and the MUST-HAVE mochi.

My boyfriend and I went for a romantic dinner at this restaurant, and we absolutely loved it. The place has a cozy yet classy and elegant atmosphere, with private cubicle-style tables and small curtains that make the experience even more intimate. The food was absolutely delicious, and as I had been recommended before, the ramen was incredible—the best I’ve had so far! I am a huge fan ramen, so I’ll definitely be returning to try more ramen varieties. Highly recommend it for special occasions or simply for enjoying high-quality Japanese cuisine.

The last time I had wagyu beef, it was skewered. This time I ordered vegetable tempura, which brought a few scattered vegetables and two huge onion rings to occupy the space. The skin was still on and I couldn't chew it at all. Among the remaining vegetables, I couldn't chew the asparagus, and the carrots and eggplants were both raw. It was impossible to go back. Bentoya, kenji shushi and umi seem to be from the same company, and they both know the quality. Served vegetable tempura with two huge skinned onion rings, and a few negligible vegetables, and the carrot and aubergine are still RAW!!!!!!

La tempura vegetal está hecha de enormes aros de cebolla sin piel y verduras sin cocer, inmediatamente me sentí asqueroso cuando mordí la berenjena y luego descubrí que aún estaba cruda.

No es la primera vez en el lugar y visitó aquí varias veces en realidad. Puede garantizar que no volverá en el corto plazo basado en la visita más reciente. No he tenido ningún problema con la experiencia pasada, el personal trabaja allí es todo encantador excepto el gerente. La última experiencia horrible vino de este gerente y este gerente solo a pesar del resto del personal. Desde que entré en el restaurante, no había absolutamente nadie que se acercara y me ofreciera ayuda con sentarse mientras el gerente blanco calvo hacía contacto visual directo y estaba juzgando de una manera grosera con los ojos todo el tiempo cuando tengo que mirar a mi alrededor en busca de mis amigos que ya estaban allí y molestar a otros clientes que comen experiencia. Mientras miraba el menú, nos dimos cuenta de que no hay nada adecuado en el menú para una de nuestras amigas, ya que le duele el estómago. Por lo tanto, cortésmente preguntamos si podemos conseguir una papilla caliente para llevar de al lado solo para ella como una excepción. Después de que el personal verificó con este gerente calvo blanco. Él miró hacia nuestro camino y nos dio la mirada más desdeñada y arrogante y dijo que no. Nos sorprendió la mirada y estaba tan confundido como entendimos que muchos restaurantes en el Reino Unido no aceptan take a de otros lugares, y respetamos al cien por cien la política del restaurante desde esta perspectiva que también es por lo que decidimos preguntar con antelación en primer lugar. Sin embargo, es la actitud del gerente la que nos hizo salir del restaurante sin pedir nada. Luego se acercó a nosotros con la explicación más grosera diciendo que esto es un negocio después de que mostramos comprensión y respeto. Procedimos entonces a ofrecer que entendemos que esto es un negocio y pediremos comida más que suficiente para el resto de nosotros solo para que ponga los ojos en nosotros y nos diga que no.En este punto estamos tan acabados con su actitud de arrogancia, y decidimos irnos de inmediato sin pedir nada. Entonces este tipo tiene la osadía de acusarnos por nuestra actitud de marcharnos cuando es el que ha sido extremadamente irrespetuoso y poco profesional como gerente de restaurante desde el principio. Incluso me amenazó con llamar a la policía después de mí dirigiéndose directamente a su mal comportamiento y actitud hacia él. Hizo respuestas extremadamente poco profesionales hacia el cliente, lo que provocó que una gran escena en el restaurante no solo nos perdiera como clientes habituales, sino que también interrumpiera a otros clientes durante toda la experiencia. He pasado por las revisiones resulta que hay otros clientes asiáticos que se habían encontrado con un servicio grosero de este tipo también. Por lo que sugiero encarecidamente al equipo de gestión que vuelva a examinar el servicio al cliente y quién está a cargo de tan altamente calificado restaurante asiático. Curiosamente, no he tenido ningún problema similar anteriormente mientras no hubo interacción con este gerente en Umi. En general, la experiencia horrenda del gerente blanco no profesional y no volverá a nuestro camino de vuelta. Recomendar a los futuros clientes que se mantengan alejados del lugar mientras este gerente está de servicio. Otros lugares japoneses encantadores como Yamato, don Tokio o Bentoya (en realidad el restaurante hermano de Umi) es muy recomendable. 🥰 Agradezco la respuesta manipuladora y subjetiva del restaurante. Como clientes respetamos la política de restaurantes y apreciamos la comida y los servicios encantadores de nuestro corazón. Aclaremos que la interacción ‘hostil’ fue una respuesta al servicio grosero y la actitud ignorante que ofreció el gerente que inició la falta de respeto al principio. Es difícil para los clientes mantener una visión positiva en tales situaciones cuando el trato fue irrazonable y ofensivo. Yo sí creo que la actitud y respuesta del gerente dice mucho del restaurante y es una representación del negocio. Como cliente, le pido amablemente al gerente que deje de redirigir el problema a los clientes y evite su propia culpa al iniciar y escalar el problema con su actitud arrogante. Deseo al gerente y al restaurante una buena suerte sirviendo a los clientes blancos solo como un lugar de cocina japonesa. Las fotos son algunas otras experiencias de clientes asiáticos en el lugar.

Not the first time to the place and visited here multiple times actually. Can guarantee won’t be coming back any time soon based on the most recent visit. Haven’t had any problem with past experience, the staff works there are all lovely except the manager. The horrible last experience came from this manager and this manager only despite the rest of the staff. Starting from as soon as I get in the restaurant, there was absolutely no one that approached and offered any help with seating while the bald white manager made direct eye contact and was judging in a rude way with eyes the whole time when I have to look around for my friends who were already there and disturbed other customers eating experience. While looking into the menu, we realized there isn’t anything suitable on the menu for one of our friends since she is having a stomachache. Therefore we politely asked if we can get a take away hot porridge from next door just for her as an exception. After the staff double checking with this white bald manager. He looked towards our way and gave us the most disdained and arrogant look and said no. We were shocked by the look and was so confused as we understood that many restaurants in the UK do not accept take away a from other places, and we a hundred percent respect the restaurant’s policy from this perspective which is also why we decide to ask in advance at the first place. However, it is the manager’s attitude that made us turned our way out of the restaurant without ordering anything. He then approached us with the rudest explanation saying this is a business after we showed understanding and respect. We then proceeded to offer that we understand this is a business and will order more than enough food for the rest of us just for him to roll his eyes on us and said no. At this point we are so done with his attitude of arrogance, and decided to leave straight away without ordering anything. Then this guy has the audacity to accuse on our attitude of leaving when he is the one who has been extremely disrespectful and unprofessional as a restaurant manager since the beginning. Even threatened me to call the police after me directly addressing on his poor behavior and attitude to him. Made extremely unprofessional responses towards the customer causing a big scene in the restaurant not just to loose us as a regular customers but also interrupt other customers over all experience. I have went through the reviews turns out there are other Asian customers who had came across rude service from this guy too. So I strongly suggest the management team to re exam the customer service and who is in charge of such highly rated Asian restaurant. Interestingly haven’t had any similar issues previously while there was no interaction with this manager in Umi. Overall, horrendous experience from the unprofessional white manager and won’t be turning our way back. Recommend future customers to keep away from the place while this manager is on duty. Other lovely Japanese places such as Yamato, don Tokyo or Bentoya(actually the sister restaurant of Umi) is highly recommended.🥰 I appreciate the manipulative and subjective response from the restaurant. As customers we respect the restaurant policy and appreciate lovely food and services from our heart. Let’s clarify that the ‘hostile’ interaction was a response to the rude service and ignorant attitude that was offered by the manager who initiated the disrespect at first. It is hard for customers to keep a positive view in such situations when the treatment was unreasonable and offensive. I do believe that the attitude and response of the manager says a lot of the restaurant and is a representation of the business. As a customer, I would kindly ask the manager to stop redirecting the problem onto customers and avoiding his own fault on initiating and escalating the issue with his arrogant attitude. Wish the manager and the restaurant a good luck serving white customers only as a Japanese cuisine place. The photos are some other Asian customers experience at the place.

Booked last minute. Lovely food and nice staff

Great food and traditional decor

My partner and I visited for my birthday meal and we weren’t disappointed. Having returned from an amazing trip to Japan last year, we’re currently trying to find authentic Japanese food in Edinburgh and Umi is a top contender! The styling of the restaurant is like stepping into a little Izakaya which we loved. The vibe is very relaxed and the service was very quick. We ordered some small plates to share. We had the chicken gyoza, chicken karaage, wagyu croquette, mushroom and soft shell crab gyoza and the UMI Dragon rolls and everything was delicious and beautifully created. The dragon rolls were some of the best I’ve tasted in Edinburgh! The pricing is reasonable despite the portion sizes and the quality of ingredients used. With 6 dishes and a bottle of wine being under £100. We’re excited to come back to try some of the ramen and rice dishes 😍

Excellent food and service! Waiter was kind to let us know he didn't have a full bottle of sake left so gave us a discount price 😄

Was such a lovely place! Had amazing decor and furniture on the inside and I thought it was very unique compared to most restaurants in edinburgh. The food was fabulous as well - best ramen i’ve had in edinburgh. We also got the roasted aubergine dish - would highly recommend, it went very well with the ramen as well! Service was great, when our aubergine arrived we were informed that our portion was too small so an extra half was added, lovely to see chefs with such integrity not wanting to cheap us out on a small portion.

Fantastic restaurant. Only a 10 to 15m walk from Waverly. Great atmosphere and even more amazing food. Delicious.

Tasteless, and expensive; the ramen soup boiled for “10 hours” tastes like under-salted warm water with a lot of chili oil. From a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give a 2 for the taste of food. The interior of the restaurant looks fabulous though, with attention to detail such as the menu being made from wood and most tables look like a private booth. Note there will be a 10% service surcharge added to the bill. Despite the great looks and atmosphere, I endeavour to maintain a 2/10 rating for this restaurant for the tasteless food which comes in a ration incommensurate to the price, and an automatic service charge that’s either not advertised or barely noticeable. I would’ve adjusted the rating had the tip not been automatically applied. After all, this should be a restaurant, not a staging room, and its food defeats the very purpose upon which the establishment is designed for.

I've been twice already and I totally recommend this place if you're looking for a special, delicate, particular Japanese cuisine. ✨️ and also the atmosphere is so quite, calm, the waitress always paying attention when you finish the water, really a good service.

Incredible food. With fantastic and quick service. The Unagi was the best I have had outside of Japan. Amazing flavours.

Best ramen I've ever had, amazing service, even though the place was nearly full, we didn't wait long at all for food. Highly recommend😊

very cosy restaurant with good food and friendly staff

Wonderful food and great service

Nice range of starters to be bunched as main if needed and nice Japanese beers.

I have been having dinner with my beloved boyfriend, everything was delicious, the sushi is the most delicious I have ever eaten. The place and its atmosphere are really charming, as if we were in Japan, the manager was very respectful, kind and friendly, we felt very well taken care of by him. We will repeat sushi at UMI on our next trip to Edinburgh.

Beautiful and creative food, made with real care

Excellent place, great service, quality food finished with precision, couldn't fault it..

Fresh and plump sashimi👍 The ramen is refreshing and chewy👍 Fried food is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside👍

The interior design of the restaurant is very cool and cozy. We liked the kind service, the wide selection of meals, and the elegant tableware. Our ramen, takoyaki, and dumplings were really tasty, and we finished our dinner with a glass of nice plum wine.

Feels like being in Japan! Amazing food 😋

Foods were good. However, the service provided by the manager was not pleased and uncomfortable. When he served the food, he throws the spoon to me and it was not great experience.

The food is so good that I visited this restaurant three times during my 10-day stay in Edinburgh. However, the racist and rude service from the male manager made my last visit a very unpleasant experience. I will never return again.

Fantastic restaurant, highly recommend if you’re into a Japanese diner. Very friendly staff, absolutely great food and surprisingly tasty sushi. Cozy vibes, would love to come back.

The best sushi I have ever tasted! Must try the Midori Dragon Rolls 10/10. Also, if your pookie likes it hot, you must try the Spicy Karaage Ramen 🥵🥵

The food here is quite good and it surprises me a lot haha As an Asian, criticizing Asian food is the nature. Tho the rolls served here are not disappointing

Decent menu, lots of choice. Quality and tasty food. Great service. 4 person seating is a bit tight but otherwise a lovely restaurant.

A wonderful Place. Food was perfect, service very friendly. The Place is very cozy, recommended!

Maybe the best Japanese in Edinburgh. Karaage, tempura, raw tuna and rolls are all fantastic. Couldn’t recommend the ramen more. Delicious cocktails and excellent service.

A lovely little place with such a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are attentive and friendly. We got a lovely window seat, didn't feel rushed and perfect place to chill and catch up with friends The menu has a great selection. I had the Chicken Gyoza, Crunchy Soy Rolls and Karaage Paitian Ramen. Stunning, lots of flavour, delicious and filling. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great restaurant. Simple but beautiful decor. Delicious food excellent service and a cool atmosphere.

Immersive atmosphere within the place. The environment was warm and comforting with welcoming staff. I got the tofu curry, which was well presented. The tofu was nicely fried and crispy with silky tenderness on the inside. Could use a bit more vegetables in the curry but the rich sauce helps to compensate.

I ate a lot by myself. The miso soup is served first, so it tends to get cold.

Best sushi restaurant we have ever tried. Food was spectacular and made us feel like we were in Japan. Very friendly staff and dog friendly.

Lovely staff and food. The drinks prices are however the most expensive I have paid in a restaurant. £6.50 for a 330ml Ashasi beer. Saki starts at £13 for a small fizzy 330ml bottle.

Good, sensibly-priced Japanese food. Service reflected the fact that the staff were very busy

My partner and I were so impressed that we went again the next day for dinner! Day 1: My partner had the Umi Signature Paitan Ramen and I had the Spicy Paitan Ramen. Both were delicious! I had a taste of the broth for the Umi Signature Paitan, and wow! The broth was so flavourful. The same can be said for my dish, and it was also spicy! Another great thing is the portion. There was a good amount of noodles and pork! We also had the grilled teriyaki salmon avocado maki. It was so good! Day 2: My partner has the Salmon Stonebowl Fried Rice and I had the Eel Stonebowl Fried Rice. Again, the portions were great! And the taste was amazing! I liked mine a lot more than my partner’s (his was good too) because 1) mine came with a beautifully poached egg and 2) the sauce was a bit sweeter. We were blown away - again. We also tried the Wagyu Potato Croquette! It was also yummy. Honestly I feel like a broken record because I keep saying delicious or yummy! But it’s true! My partner and I really enjoyed the food at UMI. Portions are great, tastes delicious, great service… nothing to complain about!

Excellent Japanese! Very authentic flavour and wide options. Super quick serve after ordering. Overall impressive service and value.

Amazing food, insanely fast service and lovely peaceful atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly highly recommend

High quality fresh sushi. Nice calm environment and good service.

This is quite a late review but a few friends and I came to Edinburgh from London in July to visit a friend who was studying there. We were craving sushi and were so indecisive on where to eat so I decided to scroll through TikTok and found this gem of a place. It was probably one of the most beautiful sushi restaurants I have ever been to and the atmosphere replicates what I believe an authentic place in Japan would feel like. We came right after the lunch rush so it was quieter than it would have usually been. The customer was service was amazing and was worth the service charge in my opinion. It was not too much and not too little. Just perfect. As a self proclaimed sushi fanatic I would agree that the sushi itself was probably some of THE BEST sushi I have ever eaten and it’s something that my friends and I often talk about. We ordered a few rolls but I have forgotten which ones were specifically ordered. We are always anticipating the next time we will visit and hope that it will be soon. This place is truly our Roman Empire😹. 5 stars all around!!

Having reserved our table for two, we arrived on 15.Oct.2024, at 8 pm. We were seated at the entrance and enjoyed our first ordering: Umi Plum Tea for two, which is a cold drink composed of (japanese) plum wine and (scottish)whiskey, delicately served on two chique ice cubes (22£). The whiskey quite present, tasted nicely, but after the melting of the ice the whole tended a bit watery. Around 21:00 (we had finished our orderings but still hungry), we thought best to order somewhat more (an extra roll and some scallops). There we were told this was to be the last ordering. I was surprised, as the website mentions 22:30 as closing time. My daughter made me understand that we were the last guests present and that we probably should leave by 21:30. This was probably true, as the waiters started sweeping the floor at around 21:10 and opening the entrance door for letting the fresh air in (around +3 degrees C). This is probably "couleur locale". After this refreshing Zen-experience, I asked for the bill, which was at 188 £. Being surprised by the amount, I checked and it turned out that it was "only" 133£. And was swiftly corrected by the waitress, handing over the proper bill. Funnely, this also happened to me two years ago in an italian restaurant, then also accompagnied by a very young lady (actually my daughter). I come to think that older men, accompagnied by a young lady, do not tend to check their bill and pay whatever? But, we were able to leave at 21:25 h. Ah, yes, almost forgot; normally I tip around 10%; This time I did not, since I did not feel particularly well treated. Anyhow, upon re-checking the bill at home, it turned out that 10% "service charge" were added, "ex officio". As I said before, charming "couleur locale". By the way, I believe, when floor sweeping, it is best to put the chairs on the tables. All the best for this little japanese restaurant!

Delicious ramen with very good service !

Habiendo reservado nuestra mesa para dos, Llegamos el 15. Octubre. 2024 , a las 8 pm. Estábamos sentados en la entrada y disfrutamos de nuestro primer pedido: Té Umi Plum para dos, que es una bebida fría compuesta de vino de ciruela (japonés) y whisky (escocés), servido delicadamente en dos cubitos de hielo chique (22 £). El whisky bastante presente, sabía bien, pero después del derretimiento del hielo el conjunto tendió un poco acuoso. Alrededor del 21 : 00 (habíamos terminado nuestros pedidos, pero todavía con hambre) , pensamos mejor pedir algo más (un rollo extra y algunas vieiras) . Allí nos dijeron que este sería el último pedido. Me sorprendió, ya que la página web menciona 22 : 30 como hora de cierre. Mi hija me hizo entender que éramos los últimos invitados presentes y que probablemente deberíamos irnos antes del 21 : 30 . Probablemente esto fue cierto, ya que los camareros comenzaron a barrer el piso alrededor de las 21 : 10 y abriendo la puerta de entrada para dejar entrar el aire fresco (alrededor de + 3 grados C). Esto es probablemente "couleur locale". Después de esta refrescante experiencia Zen, pedí la factura, que estaba en 188 libras. Al sorprenderme por la cantidad, comprobé y resultó que era "solo" 133 £. Y fue rápidamente corregido por la camarera, entregando la cuenta adecuada. Curiosamente, esto también me pasó hace dos años en un restaurante italiano, entonces también acompañado por una señora muy joven (mi sobrina). ¿Llego a pensar que los hombres mayores, acompañados por una jovencita, no tienden a revisar su factura y pagar lo que sea? Pero, pudimos salir a las 21: 25 h. Ah, sí, casi lo olvido; normalmente doy propinas alrededor del 10 %; Esta vez no lo hice, ya que no me sentí particularmente bien tratada. De todos modos, al volver a comprobar la factura en casa, resultó que se añadió un 10 % de "cargo por servicio", "de oficio". Como dije antes, encantador "couleur locale". Por cierto, creo, cuando se barre el suelo, lo mejor es poner las sillas sobre las mesas. Todo lo mejor para este pequeño restaurante japonés!

Beautiful restaurant with a really nice menu of Japanese foods, I got the sushi and the cuts were expertly done, I wasn’t able to try the ramens but my friends foods looked incredible and they sang nothing but praise for the food here, really recommend to all

The food was super delicious! Please do try the salmon belly,salmon Aburi and salmon crudo and grilled toro nigiri..it’s to die for :)..also don’t miss out on their signature UMI roll..spot on 🥺🥺 there is also the salmon dish which I can’t

La comida es muy buena. ¡El mejor ramen que he probado! Me gustaría intentarlo una vez más. La camarera parece un poco fría y distante, pero la comida es muy muy buena!

Best ramen place in Edinburgh! No jokes their ramen is so goood

Nice restaurant, you have peace and quiet. The food is fine and the staff is friendly.

Always come for their chicken broth ramen whenever I'm under the weather. Some of the better ramen in Edinburgh

Was here solo for dinner on a weekday, it seemed busy but there was some tables for walk-ins. The decor was interesting. I tried their stone bowl fried rice. Remember to pour the sauce in and get mixing when it arrives. Was nice. Soft drinks don't necessarily come with a relevant can or glass bottle. Staff were pleasant and helpful. I am never a fan of places that aren't up front about all of their charges. There isn't really an issue with a 10% service charge being added to the bill - however, this was not stated anywhere on the menu shown outside the restaurant, and was not mentioned when the order was made.

Unagi Ube Rolls is good. The Japanese food is authentic and delicious. Food is served very speedy but to me, I prefer a bit slower to let me enjoy the food, but their service is excellent and very friendly.

El boca a boca nos trajo a un amigo y a mí a Umi, pero desafortunadamente, no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. Al entrar, nos encontramos con un olor bastante picante a pescado que, por experiencia pasada, suele indicar que el sushi que estás a punto de consumir no es el más fresco que puede ser. A pesar de esto, decidimos probarlo ya que eso es lo que habíamos venido a buscar y pedimos una selección de rollos y sashimi junto con un tazón de ramen cada uno. Lamentablemente, nuestras sospechas iniciales se confirmaron cuando llegó el sushi – era comestible, pero definitivamente no tan fresco como he tenido en otros lugares. En una nota más brillante, mi amigo disfrutó de su ramen, aunque yo personalmente no, pero eso fue más sobre mis preferencias de sabor que la calidad del plato en sí. En general, Umi tuvo sus momentos – la decoración es evocadora de los restaurantes de la calle lateral en Tokio con la madera clara y pancartas de tela – pero me encantaría ver mejoras en la frescura del sushi para que coincida con los comentarios positivos que habíamos escuchado. Basándome en mi experiencia, no creo que vuelva ni recomendar.

Ordered Iberico katsu and spider roll. The tuna inside The spider roll taste fishy and seem not right. After back hmI got diarrhea all night Avoid this place

My favourite Japanese restaurant. We have sampled gyoza, sushi, spicy tofu ramen (photo). All absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Everything is in the details: the “tea” eggs (so much tastier than regular cooked eggs), the beautiful crispy lace on the gyozas, the lovely earthenware for the warm sake. The service is professional, swift and discreet.

FINALLY reviews on Google that did not lead me astray! When I tell you everything was DELICIOUS, I'm not exaggerating. We got Chicken Goyza for an appetizer (OMG the flavor), husband got Soft shell crab tempura and loved it, and I got 2 rolls: Midori dragon roll & Crunchy soy roll. Both rolls were phenomenal and I can't believe I'm going to say it, but the vegetarian Midori dragon roll is possibly the best sushi I've ever had. Something about the sweet potatoe with the sauce on top....I can't recommend it enough. It's a MUST try.

Great food and atmosphere, although downstairs less nice. Service could be better but it was very busy at the time. Minced Wagyu stone bowl was excellent.

Great food and excellent service! Really authentic experience

Such a beautiful place with friendly staff. Amazing and authentic food, we loved the tuna tataki and the fresh wasabi melts in your mouth!! Would definitely visit again.

It is always busy, but you never feel rushed! The food is amazingly tasty and we keep visiting over and over as they became one of the favourite places to eat out. Friendly staff and always accommodating!

Fui con un amigo a cenar. Muy ocupado durante la hora de la cena, así que un poco lleno de gente, ya que es un lugar acogedor. Linda decoración. muy buenos servicios. 剩下的想說的話都在圖中了

Very good ramen and not very expensive. Really recommended.

Absolutely incredible! Even the soy sauce was the best we've ever had

Could not really taste the pork bone flavour in the ramen, and charsiu was a little too tough. Service was good though

Aubergine dish overly sweet, tempura a little greasy, we had a 45 minute slot, which we agreed to, it was during the fringe, however our order wasn't taken for 20 minutes, so it was very rushed, our plates were cleared before we had finished, there were two other tables empty at this stage, the manager (I assume) made a charade out of looking for the diners for our table, going outside twice to get them as we were leaving, needless to say they weren't anywhere in sight, which he seemed to find amusing, along with a waitress. Silly, unprofessional, disappointing

What an amazing place. Great "rooms" for dining. lovely staff. The chicken ramen was delicious. Like a giant hug. Sushi also great.

The quality of the food was excellent, well worth the price.

Expensive but genuine high grade ramen

Super cool authentic Japanese place with options for all. The tempura was cooked perfectly and the ramen was insane. The staff were all friendly and we were able to get a table for two on Saturday without a reservation at 9pm. I would recommend this place for high quality food in a uniquely styled restaurant.

Really delicious japanese and great decor. Staff were kind. Ask to sit upstairs for the best atmosphere 🙂

Some of the best Japanese food I've had. Authentic wooden booths to sit in, served by friendly and helpful staff, but above all, delicious food. We could tell that the ingredients were of the finest quality and the preparation and presentation were absolutely top class. Portion sizes were very good and the food was very filling and satisfying. We had lunch here and were only able to manage a light dinner later. If you like Japanese food and are in Edinburgh, don't miss this place! Highly Recommended
