The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Edinburgh and Lothian

what a great space we love this place is great food without pretentions best karagee chicken for us we will be back many times

THE BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had. Okonomiyaki on the menu which I’ve not seen on menus anywhere outside of Japan so far. They do huge pizzas too which look delicious. Fun and relaxed place to hang out. Good and drinks CHEAP drinks menu. Really interesting looking cocktails I’ve not seen before. I’m looking forwards to coming back. Every so often I like to treat myself to a little meal on my own. Nice to sit in the corner watching Naruto. I noticed families eating there as well as some other solo customers who sat at the bar, the staff were all cheerful and friendly without exception. Seems like a cool place to hang. The vibes were immaculate. They also cater to veggies. I’ve been searching high and low for a Japanese/chicken place. Really authentic food, lovely atmosphere, huge portions and unbelievably good prices. It’s well worth the minuscule 2 minute walk away from the main drag where the restaurants are all either over priced and/or quite shoddy. I can’t recommend this place enough I’m so happy I’ve found it. Thanks guys :) Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

El servicio es muy amable y amable, siempre tienen las mejores comidas y son muy complacientes con su comida ya que mi novio es vegetariano y siempre cambian sus recetas para adaptarse a él. Su Yukgaejong y okonimiyaki es el mejor que he tenido, incluso mejor que algunos de Japón. Tienen un precio muy razonable, además de la increíble elección que tienen y el servicio que brindan. Su hija y su hijo son una delicia absoluta y la familia ha hecho maravillosamente para llevar su cultura a esta parte del mundo. Ten su pastel de matcha y te prometo que será la mejor parte de tu día <3

Went to Edinburgh for the day and found this place on our tour! It has only been open a month the owner told us. The food was absolutely amazing! Please check out the pics I posted.. you won’t be disappointed 😋

we went here on a whim, however the sushi was amazing !! Small and cosy, but the staff were friendly :) i can definitely tell that they value their customers a lot :)) My friends really enjoyed the ramen and okonomiyaki, the sushi was great too n

Bubble Tea was divine. It was a bit of a wait but Taro Tea definitely worth it. Would definitely return.

We ordered a bowl of ramen and 10 pieces of sushi. Serving time is EXTREMELY terrible. Waited 60mins for the ramen, But the 10 pieces of sushi never came. We waited 90mins and asked the waitress , and she said its still in process, unbelievable. We have to cancel the order and leave. Although they waived the bill, But we will Never coming back again. Worst ever dining experience in Edinburgh

Excellent food and service. The place does not accept cards.

Very cute location, good food and friendly staff.

Great sushi place, delicious food. Green tea Ice cream is amazing!

Delicious, I always come here and leave crazy

A friend of mine recommended me this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food and service were outstanding. Hard to find Nasu Dengaku and vegetarian dishes properly made. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive. It's also dog friendly which makes it even better. Will definitely come back.

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

Randomly found this spot in Google Maps and it didn’t disappoint! Everything we ordered was delish! Their Teriyaki Pork Rice Bowl, Tonkotsu Cha Shu Ramen, and their famous Hope Omuriso was yuuuuumyy! Asian craving was definitely satisfied. And the ambience of their place felt like we were in Japan.

Loved it! Great food and atmosphere! Prices are very reasonable! Service was very ! Hot sake was interesting to try! Also, they have very good Japanese nonalcoholic beer! Takoyaki and rolls were super tasty. Big shout out to Aušra, for Great service.
