Review: Harajuku Kitchen | The Student
menu food drinks value
Harajuku Kitchen boasts a wide range of food in its menu, with a nice selection of both hot and cold dishes.
The starters menu was particularly impressive, offering dishes such as braised mackerel, beef tataki, karaage chicken and, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, takoyaki (octopus balls).
The other starter I shared was the ‘tempura’ mix, a dish consisting of two tiger prawn tempura and a selection seasonal vegetables, also covered in deep‐fried batter.
Although I didn’t try any of the hot mains, they did make my mouth water just scanning them on the menu; you can choose from stir fried noodles (with either chicken, prawn or vegetables and tofu), noodle soup (udon noodles with either king prawn or vegetable tempura) and rice dishes (such as katsudon, pork katsu curry or, for vegetarians, tofu teriyaki and aubergine curry), which are accompanied with miso soup.
The sushi menu offers classic fillings/toppings such as salmon, cucumber, king prawn tempura and avocado but also gives you a chance of trying sweet potato tempura, soft shell crab tempura, raw squid, octopus, pickled mackerel and even kanpyo (sweet calabash).

Bentoya, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink
menu value food
Bentoya's generous Japanese fusion cuisine will leave you spoiled for choice, writes Gaby Soutar I am a maximizer, my sister is a satisficer.
First up was the kataifi black cod (£5.50), which featured crunchy shredded wheat-style sleeping bags of fish, with a mayonnaise dip on the side.
The pieces of quacker that were part of the roast duck ramen (£6.90) were rather fatty, but for the price there was plenty of bang for our buck, with slurp-able noodles in a rich broth, as well as carrot, mange tout, bean sprouts and the pretty cured fish swirls that are naturomaki, which resemble cross sections of jam-filled Swiss roll.
Our king prawn fried noodles (£6.50) had a great smoky barbecue flavour, loads of bouncy plump prawns and long struts of crunchy veg; while sweet and sour sizzling pork (£7.90), complete with pineapple chunks, was an unsophisticated example of the Chinese “battered meat in jam” genre that I have a shameful weakness for.
Though the food isn’t as fancy or artful as nearby Kanpai (IMO the best Japanese restaurant in Edinburgh), prices are lower.
Kenji, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink
food menu
Stockbridge's new sushi restaurant, Kenji, is even better than its sister, finds Gaby Soutar There’s a pile of post inside the door at Bentoya on Edinburgh’s Bread Street, it’s gloomy, and nobody seems to be home.
Dangerously snacky and, like everything else here, beautifully presented, with the seafood bolstered up by clouds of lettuce and scattered with a sort of Japanese take on salsa, in beautiful grey stoneware bowls.
Our wasabi prawn (£5.50) dish featured six butterflied and firm bits of seafood, each of which was glazed with a pastel green, creamy and mild horseradishy sauce, with a scattering of sesame seeds and a generous dollop of frothy looking tobiko roe on top, plus a charred lime wedge on the side.
I’m not sure how I feel about a dairy based sauce on top of my sushi, but this gently spicy version was rather enjoyable, especially contrasted against the crunch of the prawn tempura and spring onion filling.
For those after a more comfort foody dish, the roast duck rice (£7.50) was as wholesome as it gets, with a huge pile of feathery starchy rice, a soft duck breast plastered in a sweet miso sauce, steamed broccoli and a pile of pearlescent bean sprouts.

We had absolutely no idea what we were doing.
Our first pot of sushi rice was horrible.
You see, not only do I love sushi, but I also adore food.
Finding fresh and local produce and turning into a culinary masterpiece means just as much to me as creating a fantastic sushi.
And I couldn’t be happier making good sushi and offering fantastic food.
