We waited two years to get into this restaurant but only because our visits to Edinburgh usually coincide with the staff holidays! This year we struck lucky and got a booking for 6pm on a Friday evening. The options given to us were 6pm or 7.45pm, so the restaurant seems to run a 2 sittings per evening policy, but maybe not because we saw customers going in at 5pm when we were on our way to a local pub for pre dinner drinks. On arrival on the dot of 6pm, we were ushered upstairs (didn't notice if it was full downstairs) and seated at the window but on top of a table already occupied by 4 people and the rest of the seating space absolutely vacant! There were plenty of other tables available, including tables for two, but we made the mistake of not objecting on the spot, and meekly took our place hemmed in between the occupied table for 4 and the window. Bizarre customer service, given that the restaurant did not fill up in the time we were there. Lesson don't sit down at a table you are shown to if you are not happy with it at first sight. It's too late once you are seated. Anyway, the food here is good, there's no denying that. Our only complaint (apart from the seating arrangement) and it is one that seems to apply to many restaurants, particularly Asian themed establishments, was that some dishes were over salted. Service (apart from the said bizarre seating arrangement) was pleasant and efficient.

If you’re looking for a hideaway, a hangout, a zen place to dine, drink and disclose your days adventures, then this is your match. I’ve eaten in this place for over 20 years under 3 different owners but Ken and his team are the real deal. Casual dining at its best. You’ll also love the interior design touches by Ken’s better half too. It was lovely to be back.

Fantastic food and great service. For two, we had 6 items from the small plates which was plenty and meant lots of different flavours. Highlights were garlic chilli chicken wings and Singapore noodles with courgette. A small restaurant but they didn’t pack people in. We will be back

The japaneese noodles were good. But the little bowl of steamed Pak choi with a teaspoon of oystersauce was absolutely not worth its price 5£50. Neither was the beer. Felt cheated.
