Reviews
I have visited Kanpai Sushi twice for lunch in the summer of 2021 in a small group and a dinner in a larger group recently.
Really nice:
- extensive menu, large restaurant that is relatively calm and quiet with the sushi chefs working at a visible counter.
- the ice creams are delicious
- some of the sushi dishes are creative and delicious too (liked the maki wrapped in buckwheat)
Room for improvement:
- the service can get rather slow in the busy times and we got some of our orders confused while acting annoyed :(
- the sizes of the dishes are difficult to predict, some nigiri sushi and sashimi can be very small. Make sure to confirm.
I would probably try it again when it's calmer for lunch.
Surprisingly a good gem. Food is amazing. Went there for a quick lunch without reservation and got lucky we got a table. Place is quite small so would recommend to book a table if you come with a big party or for dinner. Definitely will come back if I go to Edinburgh again.
We wanted good sushi and we definitely found it!
Such an amazing place. We had the tuna belly tartare which was so so tasty, the tuna was like butter. Also, a variety of different sushi rolls and for dessert ice cream for sharing 🍨 with 3 scoops of white sesame, black sesame and green tea and I it was so so delish. The perfect desert to finish an incredible meal. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back.
Loved this little place! Atmosphere was so calm and suitable for the cuisine offered. Maki rolls were so fresh and yummy! Quality of salmon was great! Waitress was so friendly and polite 🙏🏻
It was quite surprised while I saw this restaurant with the same company name I work for in 2019. But I was traveled alone so didn’t have a chance to try, after 2 years finally got an opportunity to enjoy the dinner with my friend and K here in Edinburgh.
The menu isn’t only opinion for sushi, but also has some Japanese fusion dishes. Fresh, authentic, and overall a great vibe.
🍃Environment: Modernly decoration, medium containing space, and here has a heightened sense lively atmosphere in bar for grabbing a drink.
🛎️Service: We had reservation at 8:30pm, but waited for about 15-30 mins to get our seat. As we all work for food & beverage, we think it’s acceptable. But the waiters were obviously not enough for service so we had waited for a bit longer to get our drinks in the waiting area. So I deducted a star for the service.
🍽「Crowned Tuna Tartare」
Fresh tuna is served with vinegar rice and refreshing sauce, a delicious appetiser can perfectly pair with Japanese sake.
🍽「Sashimi Combo」
I was very surprised that seafoods here in Edinburgh can be so good and fresh, tasted even better with a little bit wasabi and soy sauce.
🍽「Teppan Scotch Beef Sirloin 8oz」
Highly recommended NOT to order beef when you’re having meal in a sushi restaurant. I asked for medium-rare, but it came with iron plate so obviously overcooked. What a pity!
It seems very popular and you have to make a reservation for sure.
Amazing sushi, so tasty and fresh, highly recommend rainbow roll and dragon roll, the squid and king prawn tempura were also amazing, the batter was so light and crispy. Very nice chill atmosphere and staff were lovely. Will be back
Been there two times already and each time it was a great experience. The staff is very professional, polite and willing to discuss the menu with you. The food is just superb. Nigiri sushi and takoyaki brought me back to my time in Japan. Definitely an authentic experience. Wide range of Japanese sake and umeshu is definitely something worth considering while dining in.
Hands down the best sushi restaurant in the edinburgh! We loved the very speedy service and quiet relaxed atmosphere. Food was absolutely amazing as well - would particularly recommend the rainbow rolls and the soft shell crab rolls. It also wasn’t too bad in terms of prices compared to other sushi restaurants!
