Ichiban

Ichiban is a Japanese and Chinese takeaway on West Preston Street, a residential road running east from Nicolson Street through the Newington district. The kitchen covers sushi, ramen, bento boxes, dim sum and a range of Chinese dishes, making it one of the few places in the Southside that combines both Japanese and Cantonese cooking under one roof. The sushi selection includes nigiri, maki and hand rolls; the Japanese side also covers gyoza, teriyaki chicken and various rice dishes. The kitchen runs a split shift, with a lunchtime service and a separate evening session; at weekends the services run together through the afternoon. Delivery available through Just Eat and Uber Eats. West Preston Street is a quiet residential stretch a five-minute walk from the University of Edinburgh's Pleasance sports centre and the Holyrood end of the campus.
