Went with friends on a very busy Friday night. The staff were all very busy but very lovely and made time for all customers. There was a slight delay with the food coming but that was to be expected on such a busy night. I asked for gluten free and got a hand written menu detailing the adaptations I should ask for. There were some sushi options but I went for the duck fried rice and got a huge plateful for a very decent price. They also provided gluten free soy sauce. I would say my food wasn't bad, but was nothing special. My friends enjoyed the spicy tuna maki and the bento box. For the price and the service, it was a nice wee night.
I recently tried Bentoya for the first time for a lunchtime takeaway Bento box (chinese) and was not disappointed. The food was fresh, tasty and very reasonably priced. I'll definitely be returning to try the sushi bento box next time. Highly recommended.
I had heard lots of good things about Bentoya before I went... and the place was all I had been told it was. Great affordable sushi and bento boxes. Only bad thing is that the service is a bit slow... other than that, fab place!
Very good and arguably best sushi in town. Their lunch deal is a bargain and so tasty! The only negative is they do need more staff to deal with the volume of customers.
I finally went to Bentoya and I really liked it! The place is tiny but cosy and the food is delicious, I had dragon roll and tempura maki, very good and with quite cheap price for sushi. The only down is the stuff which is a bit quick but I'll definitely go back!
I went around 5pm, it was busy at all however when we where seated I had too wait a good 10 minutes without a menu then I had to ask for a menu and we where given one.
I ordered seafood noodle soup and vegetable tempura. The tempura was great however I didn't find the seafood noodle soup flavourful enough although I did add chilli. Although, the dish itself was very filling and the portions where so great, not to mention the prices! I've never paid less than £10 for prawns here it cost £6!
My little brother order tiger prawn shush I and it was presented beautifully, he's managed to eat the whole platter! And he said it was great!
A part from the mishap service at the beginning this place is pretty good!

I have been meaning to try Bentoya for a while now as I have read a few good reviews. So when my friend suggested meeting here for dinner I quickly agreed.
There were 4 of us altogether and we hadn't booked a table, but we managed to get a table straight away. It soon filled up and the restaurant was full.
We decided to order a dragon roll, vegetable gyoza, sweet potato and butternut squash tempura and spicy edamame to share. Then we each ordered a main course; I opted for the salmon bento box. The prices are relatively low for sushi so I expected the potions to be small but they were massive. We ordered far too much food! However, it was all fantastic so I am glad that I got to try everything. I have also had the 5 kinds of sashimi here which I would highly recommend: it's amazing! The selection of sashimi can vary but if you love fish, you'll love this platter.
The service was good and the food just comes when it is ready, which is great because you can nibble at different things.
I still can't believe how cheap it was for really good sushi. We were £15 each and we were stuffed! Bentoya will more than satisfy your sushi craving without killing your bank account.
I've been to Bentoya a couple of times now and it's quickly becoming my go to place for Japanese cuisine. The service has always been very quick and incredibly friendly, even during a busy Saturday during the fringe. Inside it is fairly small but has a really nice relaxed vibe.
The two times I have went there, I have tried the lunch bento box and the dinner bento box. They come with great choices and very reasonable for your wallet. Both times I ended up with the salmon teriyaki, which is really tasty but it doesn't have that strong teriyaki flavour that I am used to. The fact they come with miso soup is always great. You can't beat a nice hot bowl of miso soup, especially when you are under the weather. The sushi has always been fresh and they have a great selection. I'm pretty sure I am going to find myself there a lot more in the future.
Bentoya opened towards the end of last year and I've been many times ever since. It's small but the service is very friendly and they really appreciate a customer. It's very budget friendly and it's BYOB as well which is perfect for Friday and Saturday nights! Theirs sushi is fresh and for the price it's a bargain! My favourite is their volcano roll and from the starters I like salt & pepper squid and hot & sour soup. I've had their bento boxes many times as well and I'm always happy with the size and quality. Today I had a duck ramen soup and since I wasn't feeling very well it put me back on my feet! Overall a place that I can definitely recommend!
Amazing food and lovely staff! I had the chicken teriyaki and the salt and chilli squid (which I had to take a photo of obviously) and both were delicious! Also marks my first meal eaten totally with chopsticks! ?

Bentoya, this cool Japanese joint in Edinburgh, and I gotta say, I was blown away by the spicy noodles I had! They were absolutely delicious! The service was also really good, and the staff were super friendly. The only bummer was that the tables were a bit too close together for my liking, which kinda killed the vibe a little bit. But all in all, it was a pretty great experience, and I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some yummy Japanese food in Edinburgh!
We arrived mid afternoon and sat right down. The service was very good and the selection of food was very good. We enjoyed the baked eggplant very much. The dynamite roll was tasty and the chicken katsu curry was also very good. Cold beer and relaxed setting. Highly recommended.
We are groups of 4 visiting from Thailand and another couple from Preston. We have a bottle of wine and each one of us have a meal each and we all think a bit small portion for the price. Another note there is no WiFi provide !!
Great japanese food its tasty and fresh. The fish was delicate and melted in your mouth. Also the duck was very tender. Everything was seasoned well.
The menu offers everything one would desire from a japanese restaurant. Pro Tipp for the undecided, choose the Mix Bento Box, it has a little bit of everything.
Service staff was quick and friendly.
The place is not very big and can feel a bit crammed at times. Its not wheelchair accessible (stairs at the entrance, very small space between tables)
I will clearly come again.
A great place with a great atmosphere. The food was fantastic for a reasonable price. At least, if you stay away from the A5 Wagyu stuff.
The only minus point is the overly eager service, they are constantly coming by with "do you want to order." Or the second you take your last bite "can I take the plate away."
Also they gave out food in separate times so I had to awkwardly eat before my partner or let my food go cold.
Really tasty food. Staff were great and guiding a sushi novice. We ordered lots of the small plates so we got to try lots of different things, but the menu is huge. Can't wait to go back and try more! All the food came out super quickly too.
The food was amazing, very delicious. We ordered 3 ramen (crazy chicken katsu, pork belly, and miso), a prawn tempura and a sushi dish (16 sushi). Everything was delicious. I have eaten sushi for 30 years in so many places but Bentoya was the best one. The crazy (means hot) katsu ramen was very good and spicy. The service was good too, it was quick and friendly. The place wa clean, the toilet was clean. It was a small place, but wonderful food.

Lots of vegetarian options and can modify for gluten allergies. Absolutely delicious! Very kind staff.
10/10! Could not have been more perfect 👌
The food was incredible and fresh. The staff was friendly and the service was quick.
Very nice place. Service is fast and efficient. Sushi is great. Yakitoori chicken less.
