Kenji Sushi

Amazing Food really. One of the best Japanese food I have tasted. The menu is very inclusive for all taste palettes, vegetarians and vegans too. The food is amazing along with great service and lovely ambiance. Value for money! We went there twice for dinner on our 4 day trip to Edinburgh. Reservation is a must and only cash is accepted.

Japanese restaurant secretly located in Stockbridge area, Kenji provide the proper Japanese vibe to the diners here. The menu can be looked similar as they share the sister restaurant with Betoya (bread street) and Umi (opposite of Appleton building of university of Edinburgh) The maki roll sets are various to be chosen and acceptably good, the katsudon is a alright but not very impressive. The service is very nice but you might need to carry cash (just in case). Overall, the Japanese atmosphere, staff and service are good, the foods are alright with open heart and mind.

We were craving Japanese and found Kenji Sushi in Stockbridge and we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the sushi and the friendly service. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, and the rolls were creative and delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, and the prices were very reasonable.

The restaurant is located one level below ground so you will have to look for the sign on the ground level (by the pavement) to locate. Please beware this is a cash only business. Didn’t have to wait for seats but on a busy night I recommend calling ahead. Food tasted amazing. The portions are decent for the price. Service was good. Only problem were the tables. The table tops were sticky and a little too small. May be because of the disinfectant they use on the table tops melting the coating or drying out on the surface. Otherwise a very good place to dine or have a snack with friends! Would recommend! They also have decent delivery on popular apps if you don’t feel like a night out.
