Kenji Sushi - Spicy Pork belly ramen and dynamite sushi

Kenji Sushi

Stockbridge, New Town

You can pass by this place in Edinburgh and literally never know it exists…read more If anything gets full marks, it's the decor. First off, you walk down these stairs from the street to get to it. When you enter the restaurant, the decor definitely is the first thing you notice. Very traditional Japanese decor all around. I've been to many Japanese restaurants in the states and majority are not nearly decked out as this place. Food and service is solid too. The only reason I couldn't rate it any higher is because the food tastes like "a normal" spot I've had before. The Katsu was cooked perfectly but the curry just seemed only a little above average. The Tonkotsu Ramen also didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping. I'm not trying to say any of the food is bad. Not even saying it's mid. It's just the flavors really didn't do anything to blow the socks off my taste buds and that's my fault. I'm spoiled because I live in the Bay Area of California where I have an abundance of Japanese restaurants to choose from. I also went to Japan for the first time this year so again, I've been fortunate enough to be able try a lot of different places. Don't get it twisted though. I highly recommend Kenji Sushi. If I lived in Edinburgh I'd probably be coming here a lot. Especially if I had never had Japanese food before. I think it's amazing that the city has diverse food options like this that are actually good. It helps that it looks fancy inside too. Kenji would be a great place to take someone on a date.

BEWARE!!! 1. This restaurant is not at this location. Look…read morethem up on google maps, it is just up the street. 2. Make a reservation. Very busy around dinner time. Very good food. You can tell that the fish is fresh. The place is very cozy and surprisingly quiet. Would recommend!

This evening we had a party of 6 adults and 2 children. One of our adults was celebrating his…read morebirthday and since it was our first time in Glasgow we went to Yelp to help find a good place to eat. We stumbled upon this location after looking for a place near our AirBnB for some Sushi. We tried to reserve a table online via their website but it didn't work. So we decided to instead walk a mile to their restaurant to see if we could get a table - or even sit outside if we had to - knowing there would probably be a bit of a wait. When we got there I entered the restaurant with my son who is 3 in a stroller and immediately was greeted by a Redheaded woman who smiled at me like I had 3 heads. I then asked kindly for their availability and explained my situation and the woman scoffed at me - as if I was stupid to even ask the question - to which she then turned her iPad around and showed a list of Reservations. I actually managed to point to my reservation that via the website had not seemed to schedule correctly - to which she aggressively said "well there's nothing we can do'. Right as I turned to leave the restaurant the rest of my party trickles in and asks if we can eat outside - One of the kind waitresses said "sure" to which she set us up outside. We ordered 3 bottles of Sake and they were £24 for 300ml bottles. We had hoped that they might be worth the price but unfortunately they weren't much better than what you can get from a CoOp with a liquor license. The Shrimp Ramen was fantastic and the sushi tasted great but was really overpriced for the quantity which they give you. Overall I totally get the lack of vacancy for a popular spot - but being scoffed at as you gently inquire about availability was really off putting. Even eating there despite it was difficult - and the alcohol/sushi being overpriced. Would not recommend. The sushi quality and the waitresses efforts are the only reason it's not 1/5.

Service is pretty poor. I hasten to add not the fault of the waitress but the cooks. I found myself…read moresitting waiting for my meal whilst my companion was eating away. It's a fairly basic rule that meals should be served to everyone at the same time. As for the food itself it was enjoyable but nowhere near the tastiness of the better restaurants in Glasgow.

Okay coming from an American perspective where most airport food is absolutely dreadful, I was…read morereally impressed that they have a conveyor belt sushi bar inside the Edinburgh Airport! We seriously need to get our sh*t together in the USA. This was great to have before my flight to Ireland. While Yo! Sushi may not be the highest quality sushi in the history of sushi bars, its pretty good quality for an airport. I love the concept of being able to pick out what you want from the coloring book-esqe menu with pictures and wait for the plate to come around. Also they offer made to order handrolls and other dishes from the kitchen. Service here was excellent! My server was very attentive and explained how the ordering and menu worked to me since I was a first timer. The bar seeting was a cool concept, with each person having a personal call button like on an airplane! I guess I am easily amused? This place gives off fun and trendy vibes!

Yo Sushi is a kind of cool, European Sushi chain that we have seen, and enjoyed in more than one…read moreEuropean airport. It is just sushi. Very fresh but standard sushi. I thought it was very good and loved the concept of the freshly made items passing me by on a conveyor and all I had to do was pull it off and eat it. The staff are really nice there and they keep the tables clean and tidy. The best thing about Yo Sushi in the airport is that when you need to eat and look around at what is available there is nothing but overpriced, not so fresh and cafeteria style food options. Yo Sushi brings freshness and comfort to the equation and their prices are very reasonable. I wish Yo Sushi was in every American Airport too. Good food, good price, and a relaxing meal are just what the weary traveler needs, and Yo Sushi provides that. By the way, we saw them in town too, but didn't get the chance to stop in. They aren't just an Airport restaurant. They are all over London. If you like sushi, this is as good as I have found in Europe and at a good price. As my hip hop friend says, "Eat it up, YO!"
