I’d love to give a good review but I was unable to taste the food. Don’t order through Uber Eats. My food was left somewhere a few blocks away and all I have is a photo of it sitting on the curb and an empty tummy.

Waiters are lying and dont want anyone to eat alone. You cannot use regular table if you are alone. They want you to use worst tables(I cannot even say they are tables) Dont go if you are

Absolute disappointment in business operation! Reservation made via ‘book’ 5 days before actual appointment and received a couple of confirmation in sms prior going there. We went that on the spot and so disappointed to see it was actually closed with notice suggesting reopening on 12th.Would recommend checking their business hours to make sure it actually opens even you have made reservations and confirmation from them.Would definitely think twice before deciding to dine there!

Went for lunch couple days ago. We had ordered Gyudon with Onsen Tamago and Katsudon. However, the Gyudon was awful because everything was COLD! The rice was very loose. Service is just average. The only thing can say ok is the interior deco but later found that the restaurant was just sold in 3 months ago.

Absolutely brilliant dinner with attentive service and modern, clean decor. Perfect prawn tempura, tasty soba noodles, fabulous donburi. Even got a tasty bottle of cool sake to wash it all down. Ended with some beautifully presented matcha mochi. Do check out this little place, which is tucked away in corner by St. Patrick’s Square.

Ordered via Uber Eats and as I predicted, I just shouldnt have. Uber stacked a couple of deliveries in front of mine and the rider was out for ages. Food arrived cold and soggy. But quiete honestly, even if the product arrived in a better shape the prices would still be steep, the portions would still be very small and clearly smaller than in the restaurant. Be as it may, dont know why a restaurant specialized in fried food is doing deliveries across town. Bound to damage their rep, it makes no sense. I would not order/eat in again.

The name "Satoru" holds significant meaning, as it is named and inscribed by the owner's father. I had the privilege of being among the initial group of patrons who visited the restaurant even before its official opening. During that visit, we engaged in a comprehensive conversation with the owner.The quality of the tempura served at this restaurant has shown consistent improvement over time. It is a testament to their dedication that my party and I consistently order more than £80 worth of tempura, as it is undeniably delicious. Among the exceptional tempura options, I would highly recommend the eel tempura, king prawn tempura, soft-shell crab tempura, and scallop tempura.I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to this establishment, as I have developed a deep appreciation for it.

Lightest fluffiest tempura and delicious prawns and eel. Cute setting. Nice staff and lush sparkling yuzu saki ?

Excellent Japanese food! The authentic food you can get in Edinburgh. I've been ordering take aways from them on a weekly basis. I just can't get enough !!!!

I visited here tonight after a show I attended myself. I wanted to get some food, but everywhere was buzzing round town & it was pretty intimidating for a lone eater. I passed this wee place nestled away in the back corner of St.Patrick’s Square - I didn’t even know of it’s existence before tonight, but thankfully caught a glimpse of their sign from the busy roadside en route to the bus home.The place is immaculate inside. Such a simple, modern, chilled vibe to it. Menu was ample & everything sounded delicious. Reasonably priced. Despite the more visually obvious places round the corner being packed-out, Satoru was a lot quieter & much more peaceful (which definitely suited me). I’m guessing it was quite quiet because no-one spotted their wee sign! Hidden gem ?I ordered the Tempura Udon & was blown away at how good it was! Veg tempura was super tasty & I loved the prawn tempura as well - perfectly crispy & not oily. The noodles were lovely & chewy - portion was really generous. I’m a big eater ? & despite only ordering this main, I left feeling pleasantly full. The broth though … is to DIE for ?? I would happily drown in this - tastiest I’ve had! I go out for ramen a lot with my son, so I’ve been around ?Aaaanyways - if you’ve never tried Saturo, please do! It’s not a huge place & I’d love to see it stick around, as it’s freaking awesome & they deserve all the business! I can’t wait until I return!Go there ? You won’t regret it! — eating dinner at satoru.edinburgh.

Best tempura I’ve ever eaten. Food is outstanding. Do yourself a favour & go here, it’s really good!!

Nice place to dine in. It is comfortable restaurant with have a good vibe. Udon is very chewy ??but the broth is a bit too sweet in my opinion. For Tempura Chazuke (rice bowl served with dashi broth), the broth is too light for my taste and shrimp tempura is not crispy enough. Overall quality is still good and have room for improvement. I definitely would have a visit again.
