Restaurants near Corn Exchange Edinburgh

Yamato in Edinburgh offers a stylish and modern interior, featuring bamboo lighting, a sleek black wood bar, and a shared dining concept. The space is sectioned with wooden dividers, creating a semi-private feel, though the gaps in the panels make it easy to see and hear neighboring tables. I could over hear very clearly the full conversation of the table next door so if there are two tables chatting, it might get rather sound complex. Seating near the entrance is also a drawback, as cold air rushes in whenever the door opens. Kinkakuji Cocktail – A mix of sweet and citrusy yuzu notes, but the sweetness overpowered the drink. While strong and undiluted, it felt unbalanced. Snow Crab Vulcan – Overwhelmed by raw onion, with too little crab and a tart sauce. A missed opportunity that could have been improved with a better balance of ingredients. Agedashi Tofu – Served in four pieces, with a light batter and a flavorful sauce. A solid dish. Chawanmushi, the Egg-based Dish with Prawn & Mushrooms – Lacked flavor and needed soy sauce to enhance the taste. Dragon Roll – An eight-piece roll with crispy tempura prawn, well-balanced and enjoyable. Service was attentive and fast,10% service charge added to the bill. Prices for sushi rolls were on the higher side. Overall, the ambiance is appealing, but some seating choices and dish compositions could be improved for a better dining experience.

Excellent as always! Great atmosphere, superb service and amazing food!

Brilliant experience. The staff and food were equally brilliant. So happy with our meal

Casual place with charm, attentive staff and great food. Felt like a local dining out on a Friday night.
