Sushi Bars in Edinburgh

“This is our failsafe if we want a delicious fresh dinner, and it’s telling that at least three of our friends when they come to visit always ask if we can go back to ‘that awesome sushi place…! I’ve been going to Yamato and Kanpai since they opened (2011 maybe…?) and the quality has never dipped. The menu is broad and varied and uniformly utterly delicious - the miso aubergine, the karaage, the gyoza, the seared tuna with sharp ponzu dressing, not to mention the sushi rolls themselves. The Wagyu gunkan is simple perfection. It’s not cheap but given the volume and quality in my view it’s definitely good value for money, service is always lovely, and the decor is all dim lights and dark walls, really lovely. Drinks menu also really good with a great selection of sake and a small but well made cocktail list. It always feels like a decadent treat to go. Cant wait to try their sister brunch restaurant!”

“I had the tasting menu at Yes Sushi for lunch, and it was incredible! The atmosphere was relaxing and staff were very sweet. The service was so quick, as soon as I finished one dish, the next was out. The lychee cocktail was very refreshing.The sushi dishes were the absolute stand outs! The mango cheese cake mochi were definitely runner ups. The price point was definitely reasonable for the the amount of food served and being in central Edinburgh. I will definitely be back!”

“Everything is amazing here!! The service, the food and the atmosphere! All the sushis, meat and dumplings, I highly recommend it!”

“The sushi here is so fresh, with some delicious rolls. My friends had the ramen and donburi and said they were so fresh and tasty too. The service was great too, really friendly staff and the owner (or chef I’m not sure) came out to check on us. Will definitely be back!”

“Popped in for a quick bite and it was great! We didn't have a reservation but the staff allowed us to have a table so long as we finished before the reservation arrived. The jjampong is only 14£ but it's packed with seafood and absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this place if you are craving Korean food.”

“Host and wait staff were very friendly, attentive and accommodating! It was crazy busy, but we were seated quickly. Food was fast and delicious.”

“Never had such a delicious Japanese food and sushi! And so friendly staff!
Everything is still yummie!”

“Great food and cute vibe! A rec from a bartender not too far away and the food was great. The fatty tuna nigiri and roll by far were the best!”

“The food was amazing, great quality. A bit on the pricier side but totally worth it for the type of food we had. The waitress and waiter were lovely.
Plus I loved that they refilled my water every time it was needed, it’s a personal pet peeve when they don’t.”

“Popped in for a quick mid week lunch - lots of set options. Everything we ate was delicious and we hope to visit soon for dinner to try options from the full menu!”
