YummyTori open

Do you feel like chicken tonight?

A few weeks back we told you about YummyTori, a new, Japanese style, fast casual restaurant which was gearing up to open on Lothian Road in Edinburgh.

The doors are now open and it is dishing out the bento boxes, noodles dishes and Japanese style tapas. The big selling point is the yakitori or meat skewers which are grilled over charcoal.

Across the road, the former Izzi restaurant has sold its last nigiri and turned into Njoi. Regrettably no relation to the Essex techno duo, it seems to be a pan-Asian restaurant and takeaway.
