No. 1 Sushi Bar, 37 Home Street, EH3 9JP, Edinburgh
This is the second time I go there and I've been delighted every time.
Wine is great.
Service is brilliant.
Portions are massive.
Prices are more than correct.
Taste is fantastic.
Two words: JUST GO!
In more details, you can have a sushi or sashimi mix (8 pieces) with Miso soup for £10. Or a Seafood special rice with Miso soup for £9. Any rice or noodle meal is massive well enough for two or for big appetite. At last my favourite ever are the dumplings.

Sushiya and No.1 Sushi Bar are managed by the same owner or management so most things will be the same. I agree with some of the comments. Personally I prefer the customer service at No.1 (very friendly) but the food isn't as good as Sushiya. The staff are Chinese, but that doesn't affect the standard of food they are producing. The best advice I can offer is, give No.1 Sushi Bar a go and then compare it to the other sushi places.

Totally love this wee place! Have been to quite a few sushi bars in my time and this is one I will definitely be going back to... I was a regular at Sushiya in Dalry, and even though their menus are simlar, No.1 Sushi bar has a lot more on offer and variety. The staff were very friendly (Chinese or Japanese it didn't matter to me!), there was a nice atmosphere and price was about right for fresh sushi, quite reasonable. They call themselves No. 1 and as a customer, I agree! Definitely worth a visit!

After reading the reviews below I just have to leave a review also. I am a very big Japanese food fan and have been to many Japanese restaurants all around the world. The No 1 Sushi Bar was about average. It's true the staff were Chinese as i am also and I could tell this didn't matter though as the Chinese can make great sushi. The decor wasn't the best they could have spent a bit more on that front. But the staff were very friendly and the price wasn't all that bad either. I would say some things were a let down though like the miso soup was obviously from a packet that you can get in every chinese supermarket these days. Also at first the free wasabi peas at the table were great until I saw the waiter put the "unused peas" back in the container which put me off eating them again - think of bar nuts! Overall the place was ok but if you want sushi in Edinburgh you can't really find a great place since they closed YO!! but Sushiya will surfice but remember to book a table there or you won't get one. Either that or go to Glasgow's YO or Ichiban is the closest!!!

My husband and I have been making our way around the Sushi places in Edinburgh and No. 1 is our third stop and so far our favourite. The service was incredibly friendly and polite without being over bearing. The sushi in the Nigiri platter was fresh and well presented. The Dragon roll was the best I have ever had and I would highly recommend it. I agree with a review I read that stated the simple decor leaves the sushi to be the star attraction but there is also a peaceful atmosphere while you're dining. Would highly recommend it.

I can't disagree more with the previous reviewer. Who knows if the staff are Chinese or Japanese… does it really matter though? I guess British people should only have restaurants with British food too. They would be popular! Overall I found the restaurant extremely warm, friendly and genuinely homely. The staff were fabulously friendly and the food was amazing. Great value for money too. I’ve had sushi in Australia, HK, NYC and loads of places in Europe and I thought this was pretty much as good as any. I’ve been a few times now and as long as the place doesn’t change I will be a regular for a long time to come!

Looks nice from afar, but the finish of the decor is not up to usual Japanese restaurant standard. Food is average, and the place has no Japanese staff to speak of! I think all the staff are Chinese! The menu is a copy of another Japanese restaurant in Dalry Road - Sushiya! Right down to the wording and pricing! The layout of the menu has a Chinese takeaway menu feel to it. Strange, shows where these guys background are from. The decor is a cross between Sushiya and Favorit. The miso soup was okay. The sushi was freshly made in the bar area, but the fish was not the freshest that I have had. The tempura and udon was average. Disappointed as they call themselves No.1 but I think they should let the customers vote.
