"The food was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely, the service was incredible especially Becca :)"
Cons:
"The ramen was very underwhelming sadly and lacking flavour, I've had way better."
"The quality of the food has been much below the standard this place used to have."
"I ordered black garlic tonkotsu, and it honestly was 5/10. The broth was tasty but lukewarm."
"If you order a ramen with extra noodles, they will give you the ramen with more noodles but not broth."
"I'm still trying to understand why this place is so popular. Food is beyond subpar and expensive."
"It's has been a long time I have not eaten such good Ramen!!! In this world of greasy fish and chips, tasteless Chinese takeout and others, it is good to know that there is a good japanese restaurant! Sushi were also nice and fresh and Japanese tea just nicely brewed. Yummy!!!"
"Absolutely love this place and I'd eat here every day if I could. The food is excellent and you can watch it being made."
"We really enjoyed this place, it was really quiet when we went so it was lovely and relaxed."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"Despite arriving early for our booking, our table was promptly prepared and we were seated quickly."
"Exceptional service with a smile! We'll be back for more of these heartwarming flavors."
"Also would recommend the house tea, it was a lovely touch alongside the sushi."
"The staff here is super nice! I came 7 mins before they actually start but they still put me into a seat and took the order."
"Such friendly, professional and polite service. Lovely food and matcha creme brulé was of a really high standard and worth the price."
"Service was amazing! When you show up, you are greeted with 'Irasshaimase!' by what feels like the whole crew."
"Following a rainy walk around Edinburgh, my husband and I were in the mood for a warm meal and stumbled upon this charming restaurant."
"Great service , food and great staff here. Very comfortable with the menu and checked if anyone had allergies before taking orders."
Cons:
"Service has been rushed, impersonal, fast food like."
"The employees needed to be called if you needed something they don't come to you like usual to ask from time to time."
"The quality of the food has been much below the standard this place used to have. Service has been rushed, impersonal, fast food like."
"Although we came on a busy Monday night without a reservation, we were seated in the bar, where it was entertaining to watch 2 chefs working."
"I had just the most terrible experience last night at Maki Ramen in Fountainbridge due to the rude manager who runs the place (red short hair) I will never come back again."
"My husband and I visited Maki&Ramen a few weeks ago while in Edinburgh and it was delicious. We ordered a some starters, a special roll, and two different ramen and all were excellent."
"Went here for dinner with my girlfriend while visiting Edinburgh. The food was delicious. We split a vegetarian sushi plate which was very well prepared."
"Had a great lunch. Well made ramen and sushi. Friendly and attentive service."
Ambiance and Atmosphere
Pros:
"The atmosphere was great the whole time we were there, and we both loved the post-it notes."
"The atmosphere is fairly quiet and relaxing, the ongoing hub hub allowing for conversation without the need of shouting."
"Great options and staff were lovely and friendly. Fantastic vegan options and enough sushi variety to go that way if you prefer cold dishes."
"While exploring the area with my friends, we unexpectedly discovered this charming spot that instantly caught our attention."
"The quaint atmosphere, adorned with tatami-style seating, added a touch of uniqueness that we couldn't resist."
"Still, even if it was packed the atmosphere was pretty cosy."
"Weather you're on a date or out with a mate, this is definitely a place to try out."
"This is an amazing find. The food is out of this world. I've always thought I hated Gyoza's, but the pork Gyoza here is the best I've ever tried."
Cons:
"It took the server about 25mins to take our order."
"Felt crowded though and staff stayed friendly but we'd just finished and they were kind of asking if we wanted anything else."
"If you want Maki Ramen just visit their other location, this one‘s just not as good as the others."
"Not recommended to go with a baby, after sitting at a table she tells us that due to the baby carriage we have to sit at another table."
"Came here with my wife and family whilst visiting Edinburgh from Switzerland. Ken was very nice and very friendly and so was his staff, he was very patient to explain each dish when we asked."
"Been here a few times for lunch, service is always great, the food is usually speedy to come out too. This week was global gyoza week so it was a BOGOF on Gyoza 😀"
"Starters were tasty however, our main came out only a minute after them with no time in between. We had ramen as our main, one had no flavour and tasted of warm garlicy water and the other was sickly. Wouldn’t eat here again possibly the worst experience"
"The whole menu looks and sounds delicious!! The food I had was incredible, best restaurant in town for sushi. I had the dragon roll, also before I had the beef bento and green tea ice cream. Very delicate preparation, fresh and beautiful. Ambiance is very relaxing. I will be a regular."
