Sushi Kajii

You're walking down Portobello High Street in Leith, past the Victorian tenements and independent shops, when you spot Sushi Kajii tucked in among the neighbourhood regulars. This is takeaway sushi that actually matters — the kind where someone's clearly trained properly and isn't cutting corners with the rice or fish quality. The 4.9 rating from 145 reviews tells you locals have clocked what's happening here. It's the sort of place you'll find yourself ordering from regularly because the quality-to-effort ratio is genuinely impressive, and Portobello's got enough foot traffic that freshness isn't an issue. No pretension, just consistently good sushi that tastes like someone cared when they made it.
