I was craving a comforting rice dish and this place definitely delivered. I ordered the aubergine miso and the pork kastu curry and both were delicious. All the staff were very friendly and food did not take long at all to come out.

The Katsu Curry was delicious and authentic!! Probably the best I've ever had in any restaurant, and I've been to every restaurant (to my knowledge) in San Francisco Japantown that serves Japanese curry. The green tea ice cream was delicious as well. Everything was lovely!

20 minutes walk away from Princes street, best authentic Japanese restaurant. I had the best Chicken katsu curry

What a great find when visiting Edinburgh. They are dog friendly and even provided a chair at the table for our dog to sit on. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful and advised us when we were about to order too much food. The food was just fantastic - all freshly prepared and so tasty. It is cash only and they don’t serve alcohol but you can take your own in. We will definitely visit again when back in Edinburgh.

An amazing find of a restaurant. Beautiful, authentic dishes, friendly efficient staff and well priced. Bonus points for BYOB. Can’t wait to come back! Szechuan beef was delicious. Thank you!

Delicious food and detail-oriented service. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. They also let you BYOB for 2 pp, which is nice. Finally, the decor was cute and unique. Not necessarily a con, but keep in mind that quite a few items on the menu are fried. Highly recommend, though!

What a little gem of a spot. They only take cash. Clean and wonderful service. I ordered the sliced beef with Goma sauce and it was delicious! The fresh sauteed vegetables and the sauce was really good. Rice cooked wonderfully and beef top notch. Everything was great - definitely 5/5!

This is by far one of the best places of food I have experienced in Edinburgh. I loved the Szechuan prawn!!! Was amazing—do yourself a favor and try it. The prices are fair—for a Latino I would say cheap. Overall, great place and the staff it’s outstanding.
