Umi Japanese Shandwick Pl

You'll find Umi tucked away on Shandwick Place, that quiet stretch between Princes Street and the West End where locals actually eat. It's the kind of spot where the chef knows what they're doing—no gimmicks, just clean sushi, excellent nigiri, and a menu that respects Japanese cooking without trying too hard. The dining room feels intimate without being cramped, and the staff genuinely seem to care about what you're ordering rather than just pushing the expensive stuff. Whether you're after a quick weeknight dinner or something more considered, it delivers.
