Kanpai Sushi
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!

Simply overrated. Not an authentic Japanese restaurant. The food alone was not so bad and could still easily secure 3 or marginally 4 stars. However, this poor review was about how they chose to run a restaurant and the way they treated their customers.In terms of food, the biggest miss was messing up the supposedly light and airy Japanese tempura batter. If you enjoy Japanese food, you would probably admire the careful juxtaposition of ingredients altogether, of which the skills were lacking in this restaurant. Sashimi was of a small portion but being plated in an oversized bowl for presentation, etc.In terms of services, unreasonably rude! 30 min after I was seated and had just started eating, I was told to leave in another 30 min's time. I was not told about the time restriction at the beginning. Besides, from my observation of the table next to me (also a solo diner), she was given 90 min to eat and the message was communicated at the beginning when she was seated.I had to admit that I did have some expectation for a £60 meal per person (food only, no wine). Even a fast-food type sushi store would not kick me out of the premises when my mouth was full. By the time I left the restaurant as they wanted, the restaurant was not even 20% full.It gave me the impression that they only cared about making money, put the food on your table and urged you to leave. They did not care whether you needed time to eat them! They had no passion to take Japanese food as an art form. No respect to diners whatsoever. They did not even know how to run a regular restaurant with their bookings and front-of-house work.

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

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.

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.

Fantastic sushi. Extremely fresh and perfectly made. Agedashi tofu was good too.
