Very nice place!Good food, had a variety of dishes which all tasted nicely and quite delicious. We ordered around 6 dishes, as they are on a smaller size, and we wanted to try a bit of everything. Liked the internal decor of the place as well.The downside to the experience was that 2 of the dishes took quite a long time to be made, and we had to ask for them at least 3 times. Given that the other 4 dishes were made quite quickly, it was an expectation of all dishes to be served quickly, but it wasn't the case. If Broccoli and Hot Chicken take a while to be served, it would be nice to have a disclaimer on the menu or be told so in person. Felt like maybe there was miscommunication during order stage, but it also felt like we were given lies to when we asked about the dishes and when they would be done, instead of saying that they forgot, or unless it quite literally took some time to make.P.S. Michael was very nice and respectful. Wonderful person!

Cute cozy Japanese ramen shop. Enjoyed the small plates. The ramen was not my favourite, the broth was good but the charsiew wasn’t as authentic. Friendly service and cute interior. Has two tables outside for walk-ins.

For me, this place does the best ramen in Edinburgh! We got the hot chicken to share and the pork dumplings for starter. The hot chicken was so tasty, it had so much flavour and was so crispy (also it wasn’t too spicy). The dumplings were only just ok, nice flavour but not the best I’ve had.The ramen was the star of the show, we both got the Tonkotsu ramen. The broth had so much flavour and the combination of the chicken and pork was so good and I’ve never had this combo before. The egg was cooked to perfection and added a delicious creaminess to the bites I had with with.We got the two starters, two ramen and a bottle of wine and I think the bill came to about £35-£40 each.I can’t wait to go back and because it was just so good will probably have the same order again!

Amazing good food with East Asian influences was very delicious. Each dish had its own speciality and surprise. It was difficult to choose my favourite. I loved all the dishes I had there. Highly recommended. Definitely coming back to the restaurant soon.

Incredible. Have wanted to try this place for awhile after they switched from gulp to mirin. Unreal. Every dish was so good. Now my favorite restaurant in Edinburgh, above Eleanor (also fantastic) or even noto which was delicious but actually imo less interesting.We ordered the deer dumplings, broccoli dish, tuna dish, hand ripped noodles, two pork sliders, mallard black pudding dish. All so good with the tuna being our favorite, but really everything was great.

Went to this wee place twice and both times I had the shoyu ramen. I loved the cooking point of the noodles, the crispy and flavoursome chicken and the perfect cooked egg. Even the pak choi is incredibly good, not the usual boiled veggie thrown in the broth. I found the broth too salty and I couldn’t finish it because of this, but that’s the only downside. Service is lovely too! Can’t wait to be back ☺️

I had dinner yesterday here, I could say that they serve the best ramen broth in Edinburgh. I ordered hot chicken ramen, it was so scrumptious.To be honest, I think the noodle is a little bit too chewy, but the have three different kinds of noodle, I will try the other two in my next visit.You have to book to eat here, or you may not have available seat.Thank you, I enjoyed my ramen so much.

Absolutely amazing. The pistachio crusted pigeon breast with black pudding and daikon might be the best thing I've ever eaten. Everything else was merely brilliant. Go here, you won't regret it.

The food is amazing, brilliant prepared with alot of great flavours,textures combinations. We had the ramen, the katsu brill with curry and pork belly with blueberry, everything tasted amazing.As everything is small plate, so I can't recommend if your a big eater or extremely hungry as you will be ordering alot....and the bill will be big.But as casual bite with a drink, it is a great experience with many things on the menu, looking forward to try in the future.

Situated in Leith walk, Gulp Ramen, now called Mirin, offers the warmness and coziness with the food.Their noodle is quite firm compared to other ramen shop giving the new sensation. It’s chewable but harder. Tonkatsu is their signature dish which is very creamy but can be salty. The pork is good. The prices can be a little bit pricey.Booking the table in advance is a better choice as the shop is pretty small otherwise you might not get in. Also Its a Dog friendly restaurant , many customers bring their dogs here.
