Tokyo Sushi — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Disappointed with Tokyo Sushi!

I recently ordered four sushi sets from Tokyo Sushi on Sunday, spending over £80. Given the restaurant's claim of being prepared by Japanese chefs, I was quite disappointed with the overall quality.

The sushi itself had a strong fishy aroma, which raised concerns about freshness. Honestly, I've had better sushi in Poland, and those weren't even prepared by Japanese people. The miso soup was equally underwhelming, lacking flavor and having a watery consistency.

Disappointingly, the small portions of pickled ginger were insufficient for the amount of sushi we ordered. Even the condiments, provided in tiny packets, seemed past their prime. The delivery person's demeanor didn't exactly add to the experience either.

For a restaurant claiming such authenticity, freshness should be a top priority. This applies not just to the fish, but to all ingredients, including the pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi. More generous portions of ginger would be appreciated, and the miso soup "recipe" could definitely benefit from a flavor boost. A friendly delivery experience goes a long way as well.

I hope Tokyo Sushi takes these points into consideration and strives to improve the overall dining experience. They have the potential to offer a much better representation of Japanese cuisine...

A friend recommended this sushi restaurant to me. You can ask the waiter for your preference. I chose the California roll with cream cheese and the green dragon roll with fresh fried shrimp. My friend also tasted the real Japanese sushi which was different from others. Every grain of rice was very delicious. It has a nice vinegary taste and you can tell it's fresh when you bite it. Their wassabi and jelly are also homemade. I also ordered a large plate of yaki, which is not on the price list of the restaurant. The reason is that they require all the food It’s new, my friend also taught me to order a little in advance and pick it up at the restaurant on time. They also have delivery service 🚚! Thank you so much to this sushi restaurant for designing a unique birthday decoration for me. It is worth recommending. No wonder this restaurant has a high ranking on...

First time there for lunch on a quiet Friday. We were the only 2 customers on site. The man behind the counter has been super polite and his service was impeccable.

Unfortunately, then, the food came. We ordered 2 portions of takoyaki, microwave cooked, cold outside and incredibly hot on the inside. The sashimi mix, advertised as 15 or 18 slices, can't remember, where 12 slices, still frozen. Impossible to feel the taste. My portion of sea food udon was possibly something else. No deep fried as the picture said and no sea food there: not even a scallop, just a few, micro, prawns, stir fried and some veggies.

All together: almost 60£ of small and falsely advertised food portions.

For sure an experience. A bad one, unfortunately.

Good luck to everyone who is going there.

(The reviews are incredibly positive for the place, a bit...
