    The food was great. Not the biggest van of the cuisine but this was exceptional. We will definitely return to try some more on the menu

    The food was excellent, service very friendly however a bit slow. The tables are very close to each other so hard to have a private conversation.

    This is the best sushi I've had in Edinburgh. Only complaint, music a touch too loud and frenetic. Everything else was fabulous.

    We were first sat down on a table by the front door. Unfortunately, each time it opened, a really cold draught would come in so we asked to be moved. After a few minutes we were moved to a table at the bottom of the restaurant, much farther from the door which was very helpful! However, we could still feel a slight draught from the door. Not enough to annoy anyone, but indicative of how much air is let inside from it. Otherwise, this was a spectacular night with incredible food and stellar service.

    Some of the food was amazing: The aubergine starter, the crispy brussel sprouts, the sushi and sashimi. also the ice creams. I was a bit disappointed in the rainbow roll because it had a funny oniony taste. Service was rather slow - they were very busy. But they were friendly and very helpful when asked for anything. nice chilled ambience.
