"Called here on the off chance whilst on a family visit to Edinburgh. Although they were unable to accommodate us straight away, they suggested we return in 45 mins. True to their word a table was available and it was most definitely worth the wait! Food was delicious, service was polite and efficient. Having eaten in a lot of average restaurants that really could and should do better, this place is a welcome affirmation that some places really can be very good at what they do. Eat here if you can. PS Don’t go for a drink at the pub across the road if you find yourself waiting for a table. £24 for two glasses of red wine that were nothing special (you can buy it for £5 a bottle in Tesco and €3 a bottle in Italy) is daylight robbery."

Just horrible Vegetable Chow Mein very greasy noodles and practically no veg. Probably the worst I’ve ever had.

Both of us had a starter, bbq spare ribs and chicken spring rolls.....delicious. Followed by Cantonese sweet and sour chicken and chow mien again both delicious. Hope to dine here again on our next trip to Edinburgh. View menu

Not a good sign when the best dish was the prawn cracker appetizers. The extremely expensive dim sum was the mass produced type available in any Asian grocery. The duck in plum sauce was very tough! The Szechuan prawns were quite good. Egg fried rice was barely acceptable.

Showed up at just after 5 PM without reservations on a Friday night. We were lucky enough to get a table. The Singapore chow mein noodles were absolutely delicious. The shrimp crackers were also enjoyable. The hot and sour soup was very nice. The food came out blazing fast. The restaurant filled up very quickly. They do a lot of to go orders. Har gow wonderful. Chicken show mein was good.

Visited due to reviews and ordered a takeaway one box of sweet and sour with egg fried rice and was really underwhelmed. Maybe the good reviews were based on dining in, but I think it should reflect all meals. The egg fried rice was white and did not have any seasoning just a few minute bits of egg and the sweet and sour sauce was quite subtle. For £8.90 with 10p for a bag think it is overpriced and didn't enjoy it. View menu

Lovely Chinese food. Free prawn crackers which seemed freshly made. I had salt and chilli tofu to start which was really tasty. I then had the almond crusted prawns but asked to have honey chilli sauce instead of the orange Cointreau sauce which they easily accommodated for me. The prawns were amazing and big portion size. My partner enjoyed salt and chilli chicken, but raves about his fillet steak Cantonese style said it was delicious. We’ve been to this restaurant numerous times and even get a Chinese takeaway from here as you can book your time slot to pickup. Lovely food and nice pleasant staff.

Been here a few times over the years as the food is always really good. This time was for a family birthday so a special occasion. Have to say, the restaurant really could do with a bit of smartening up I don’t think it’s changed in 10 years as it would make all the difference, chairs are very saggy too. The food, though, is still great. Love the crispy duck, and pork dumplings as starters. Shredded chicken and beef mains really good too as there’s a lot more actual meat than you get in many places. Service was a little confused when we were there suspect some staff were new. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
