    Rainbow roll (no prawn)

    Sushi was OK.. Sashimi cut against the grain makes you contend with unwanted layers when really sashimi should just melt in your mouth with no fuss! Service was terrible.. They would bring dishes without spoons and plates consistently to our and other tables. We had to constantly be flagging the server to bring us this or that, which really affects your customer experience. The main server was new and had no clue what was in the sushi.. Or great considering there aren't that many rolls - all staff should know the menu before being put on the floor. Sushi pieces seemed very small. The best dish we had was the spicy pork belly ramen.

    Qun Tang knows :)

    Simply the best ramen in Scotland, chasu ramen all the way.

    My biggest problem with japenese food is trying to decide between hot or cold food, so I went for the Pork Bento Box (£8.

    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!

    I was craving ramen for dinner while in Edinburgh, which probably had something to do with the cold…read moreweather. Our choices near the hotel were between Wagamama and Maki & Ramen. We chose the latter due to the fact that I'd never heard of this UK chain of Japanese restaurants. I also found the menu to be unique with the dietary-friendly halal, vegetarian, and GF offerings. Not many Japanese restaurants have that. We were welcomed in with the sound of a taiko drum. They tap the drum when entering and before being seated. I found it odd at first, but now I understand after reading about this traditional welcome. The restaurant was filling up fast. We thankfully were seated in a 2 seater booth by the window. It was completely full by the time we left. All the ramen choices looked fantastic. I've never seen such a huge variety of unique flavors. I was drawn to the Shio Yuzu and Shio Truffle. It was a tough decision, but the truffle won that battle. It ended up being a great choice. The truffle really brings out the flavor of the rice in the noodles. Although, these noodles were already pretty special. I think they make them here. There was a good amount of chicken, and that ramen egg was absolutely delicious. A perfectly made custardy yolk. I should have ordered an additional one. My husband's Spicy Chicken Teriyaki with rice was good, but not great. His words, not mine. I didn't try it because I'm not a fan of teriyaki sauce. The chicken gyoza were also pretty good. I was also super happy with the Yuzu Ice Tea from the Mocktail menu. It was very mojito-esque without the rum. A refreshing drink. The service was good. The atmosphere is very lively. I didn't really get a chance to take pictures inside. The décor is lovely, but more enjoyable when it's less crowded. I'd revisit it again if ever in this region. I may have to try their Black Garlic Tonkotsu ramen next time.

    What a nice stumbling surprise on a very cold night after touring Edinburgh all day…read more We got there probably an hour before closing. The staff were very friendly and super helpful with recommendations. We ordered a couple of appetizers and some ramens and I must admit that every bite was mouthwatering
