· Japanese restaurant
· Edinburgh
A cozy Edinburgh Japanese spot with especially strong tempura, katsudon, and udon; worth it if you like homey Japanese comfort food, but portions, consistency, and service can wobble.
Why this grade
Satoru delivers strong food quality anchored by standout tempura, katsudon, and udon that earn consistent praise, supported by warm, attentive service that guides diners through the menu with ease. Modest inconsistencies in batter and broth execution, combined with a small, understated setting that lacks destination appeal, keep it just short of the very top tier.
One caveat: Some diners feel the portions are too small for the price, especially on tempura platters and premium bowls.

- People keep falling for the tempura and pumpkin croquettes, often with real enthusiasm.
