Reasonably priced but mediocre, run of the mill sushi made with fatty salmon from the belly end of the fillet. No tuna available when I visited - is this a Japanese Restaurant? Tempura fried vegetables were good and perhaps the cooked menu was a safer bet than the raw fish. Being in the Omni Centre it is a bit like eating in a shopping mall with a noisy canteen like atmosphere.
Being a lover of Japenese cuisine I wouldn't go back for a second helping.

It was my first time visit and well, it wasn't anything special. I enjoyed my meal personally. On the other hand, my mother had ordered a main course, it took them until nearly the end of everyone's meal to inform us that her choice wasn't available, she ended up eating nothing at all. I think the staff should have checked well before they started serving everyone else.

Can't go wrong with their £7.95 two course lunch, been at least ten times now and never had a bad meal yet, veg spring rolls are amazing. We love this place, staff always attentive never had any of the problems stated in previous reviews.

Am addicted to the soft shell crab maki- so fresh and gorgeous! Really competitively priced and rapid service. Wouldn't be my choice for a special meal, but before a movie just ticks all the right boxes! MUCH better than the rubbish chinese buffet in the same venue.

We're regular customers and often order Soft shell crab maki and Barbecued Eel rice. Try out Salmon Sashimi and Golden Dragon Sushi for a taste of heaven. Definitely get Japanese Seaweed Salad. You need to know what to order to get the best, otherwise you're missing out!

Been here many times and would recommend the spring roll, the aubergine in Japanese sauce and the pork belly in honey sauce - really lovely. Haven't tried the soft crab shell maki but most of them says it's nice. Better than the Chinese restaurant.

Absolutely amazing! Im usually quite ambitious when it comes to food, I've tried all the japanese in Edinburgh... Sushiya, No.1 Sushi, Bonsai and Tang's. The standard and quality does not match Arowana.
Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll/Maki is a must try and the golden dragon which is a prawn tempura in the middle, then with a layer of rice, topped with bbq'd eel and avocado with sauce. It's definitely something else!
