UMI JAPANESE Chapel St

The food here is absolutely delicious and tastes so authentic every dish feels like it’s been made with care. The flavours are rich and balanced, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The staff are incredibly sweet and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The cosy atmosphere adds to the charm, making it a place you want to come back to again and again.

An overpriced unauthentic Japanese eatery serving up overpriced ramen and maki rolls. Fish quality is ok though. But they only allow you a bit more than one hour for dinner!

Beautiful little place. We stumbled upon it while looking for somewhere nice to eat in Edinburgh. We had food allergies in our group and we were very well looked after in that regards. The service was fantastic, staff were friendly and helpful, very nice to our children as well. The food was out of this world and the prices for a party of 4 were affordable. The Food service was fast and efficient, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was very busy and we only had to wait under 10 minutes for a table, without booking but I would definitely recommend booking a table. Looking forward to my next visit as there are many more things I would like to try from the menu. Definitely recommend the ramen, it was soul healing.

Umi serves wonderfully fresh seafood and didn’t disappoint. I especially loved the shrimp spring roll and the salmon avocado seaweed with rice — both were flavorful, light, and beautifully prepared. A great spot if you’re craving sushi or seafood done right. Small portions as with most Japanese food so order accordingly. Staff were attentive and service was wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful place. Coming with food allergy to try out new place is always scary, and staff took care of my fear from literally first few minutes. Awareness of the allergies and possible cross contamination issues was to the highest level. Staff members were kind and sweet. I felt well looked after. Then the food arrive and it was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend and get back.

The stone ball was hot anf yummy, everything I needed after a long cold day. I figured that I didn't like eel, but I still.enjoyed the meal. The portion was huuuge, so I asked a dessert for takeaway. That cheesecake didn't disappoint, especially the chocolate cream.

Flavour explosion is the first word to come to mind after visiting UMI for a delicious lunch. Every item we ordered was prepared with care and beautifully presented. Lots of options for vegetarians as well. Left with a full and happy belly. Would absolutely recommend!

My go-to japanese restaurant in Edinburgh for any occasion. I’ve probably tried half of their menu by now and there’s never been a miss. High quality sashimi, amazing tempura, and wide selection of rolls sushi. Great sake. Very cute place too. Absolutely recommend!
