"Looking for the worst Chinese takeaway in Edinburgh? Look no further! We made the mistake of ordering from Happy Rice through Just Eat when our usual spot was closed. We placed our order at 7:30pm with an estimated delivery time between 8:45pm and 9:05pm. Despite the short distance on a Tuesday night, we waited. At 9:05pm, it showed as delivered on the app but there was no sign of our order. After waiting an hour and 40 minutes, I called the restaurant to inquire. I was abruptly told that the kitchen was busy with lots of orders, and it would be another 25 minutes. The food finally arrived 2 hours after ordering, only 25 minutes late as promised. The delivery driver was kind and apologized for the delay, offering us a second bag of prawn crackers and a voucher for £5 off our next order over £25 (valid until the end of the month). Unfortunately, the food was cold, bland, and greasy. Unless you enjoy disappointment, late deliveries, rude staff, and subpar food, I suggest avoiding Happy Rice."

Always really good! I must say though that the salt and pepper bean curd before was much better! Crunchy and delicious but it seems that they changed the recipe. Are you ever going to bring that back? It was the best of the best! Still pretty good place to order from

This Chinese takeout has been our favorite for years. The staff are friendly and the food is excellent. I highly recommend trying the fried rice, kung pao chicken, salt and pepper chicken, vegetable spring rolls, and prawn crackers. I hope you find this information helpful.

My family and I have ordered takeout from Happy Rice multiple times and we continue to return because of the joy we feel from the diverse menu offerings. The vegetable options are plentiful and we always savor the delicious sweet buns. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable.

Shame. I was excited to try this place its a 15 minute walk from my flat but i had Covid took almost 1.5 hours after ordering, the driver went to the wrong address, the fried rice just tasted of 'burnt ' and my mixed seafood had chicken in it scary when they offer 'vegan '. They deep fried 3 mussels in the shell so there was not much else in it! Sad i wouldn 't recommend.

Service was quick. Ordered Thai green curry, which was not quite as expected. It was spicy hot and did not contain any coconut milk and did not have the usual flavour of a Thai green curry. Not that I pretend to be an expert! There was a lot of meat though and veg (fresh tomatoes!? . This was my first experience of this take away. I wasn't put off, but will probably try the traditional Chinese dishes next time.
