Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight
28 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,

Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get a…

Kam Po
34 West Preston Street, Southside,

Hong Fu Noodle
3–7 Waterloo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3BG
Owner Jing Si promises real Chinese cooking at Hong Fu Noodle Bar. The recently revamped menu has some genuinely unusual dishes, with Szechuan and Northern Chinese influences predominating. Gone are the ubiquitous prawn toast and chow mein, to be…
Silver Bowl
12 Albert Place, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HN

Saigon Saigon Restaurant
14 South St Andrew Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AZ
Locals and tourists alike will probably have passed people on Princes Street holding huge signs advertising Saigon Saigon’s buffet lunches. What the signs don’t convey is that this isn’t just another all-you-can-eat snooze-fest of the greatest hits of…
Silver Bowl

Edinburgh,
EH7 6HN
With three branches in the area, Silver Bowl has something of a monopoly in Leith when it comes to Chinese and Thai take-away. Thai is available from the Albert Place branch, while Chinese can be picked up or delivered from the other two. Booking can be…
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1ST

Kweilin
19–21 Dundas Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QG
Kweilin has something of a split personality. On the face of it, it’s a traditional Cantonese restaurant complete with red carpets, red-covered chairs and red-jacketed waiters, and all the expected dishes present and correct. But peeking out from time…
Karen's Unicorn - New Town
8b Abercromby Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB

Wok and Wine
57a Frederick Street,

Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Located opposite the Lyceum, Jasmine entices prospective customers with a selection of fresh fish dishes listed on a blackboard outside, reflecting their more seafood-oriented approach to Chinese cooking. Inside, tables are quite close together, but…
Golden Bridge
16 Henderson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6BS
If your experience of Szechuan food is limited to the solitary ‘Szechuan chicken/ beef/ pork’ off the typical Chinese menu, then think about visiting the Golden Bridge next time you’re in Leith. This unpretentious, welcoming little restaurant…
Hot Hot Chinese
60 Home Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9NA
Open since 2008 but in new hands since 2010, Hot Hot was one of the original restaurants offering Chinese hot pot in Edinburgh. Behind its steamed-up windows is a sparsely decorated room where diners are presented with a simple concept: dip an array of…

Edinburgh,
EH10 4HS
Advertises itself as a 'Traditional Chinese Hot Pot Restaurant'.
The Lee On
3–5 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HN
This year marks the 40th anniversary of this family-run Bruntsfield institution and it shows no signs of slowing down. Unusually, the main dining area is situated in a downstairs warren of intersecting rooms, while upstairs absorbs the overspill and…
The Rainbow Arch
8–16 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8BJ
A long established Chinese restaurant just off Lothian Road, the Rainbow Arch has arguably moved into the shadow of its basement offshoot, Henry’s Cellar Bar, one of the city’s best regular jazz spots. As with a number of traditional Chinese…
Loon Fung
2 Warriston Place, Canonmills,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LE
No restaurant stays in business for almost 40 years without doing something right and Loon Fung evidently has a tried-and-tested recipe for success in its little corner of Canonmills. Although some of the ingredients feel a bit dated (staid decor…
Karen's Unicorn
112 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AD
Karen’s Unicorn sets out to subvert your preconceptions of a typical Chinese restaurant. Whether you choose the original, cosy Stockbridge branch or its newer and more glamorous sister in the New Town’s Abercromby Place, any Chinatown clichés are firmly…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PG
After the dubious-looking shared entranceway with its faded carpets and dirty walls, the restaurant at the top of the stairs is a surprisingly bright, clean and welcoming place. It does double-duty on the service front, offering a set price buffet at…
Dragon Way
10d/10e Bath Street, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1HZ
Dragon Way knows how to make a first impression. Crammed with ornate artefacts imported from China, the larger Southside restaurant includes a huge water feature and gold decorations galore, its sumptuous surroundings bordering on 'ghetto chic'. It's a…
The Ping On
26-32 Deanhaugh Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
A handy location, late opening hours and moody atmosphere have allowed Ping On to build up a loyal legion of Stockbridge regulars. At first glance its reputation appears deserved, with its cosy low lighting and tastefully kitsch décor. But although the…
Chop Chop
76 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
The lively Morrison Street outpost of this popular restaurant continues to draw a crowd who enjoy the hustle and bustle of its sparsely furnished cafeteria-style room. Known primarily for boiled and fried dumplings, the idea is to place your order and…
China Town
3 Atholl Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8HP
Don’t be fooled by China Town’s modest whitewashed frontage at the end of Shandwick Place. Step inside and you’ll find a stylish dining room that’s all muted colours, luxe upholstery and statement lighting. The Chinese influence shows in the old musical…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
The lively Morrison Street outpost of this popular restaurant continues to draw a crowd who enjoy the hustle and bustle of its sparsely furnished cafeteria-style room. Known primarily for boiled and fried dumplings, the idea is to place your order and…
Eastern Cuisine
2-6 Dalry Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BG
The basic-looking premises here are at odds with the quality of the food produced. There is a pleasing and distinct lack of additives in the food, and even the spring rolls, which have a satisfying crunch to them, are made in-house. The beef dishes are…
Xiangbala Hot Pot
63 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BZ
Edinburgh’s most authentic Chinese restaurant is not for the faint-hearted. Vainly will you search for Peking duck or lemon chicken on this menu: rather, prepare for interactive eating. Park yourself before your very own steaming cauldron of broth and…
Wing Sing Inn
147–149 Dundee Street,
Edinburgh,
EH11 1BP
Wing Sing Inn is the kind of inconspicuous place you could pass a hundred times and never consider going into, which would be a real shame. Despite its plain décor, overly bright lights and lack of music, there’s an air of conviviality and adventure…
Miso & Sushi
46a Haymarket Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5LA
Going to Miso and Sushi is like going back in time. The décor can't have changed in years. Glaring lights preside over a corridor of booths lined with wood and ancient flock wallpaper. It's in desperate need of a spruce up. However, if there's no love…
Taste Good
67-71 Slateford Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 1PR
Taste Good doesn't exactly fit the stereotype of a Chinese restaurant. At street level it is a busy takeaway catering for locals in the know, while in the basement there's a bright, airy dining space with modern décor and pleasant background music. The…
Sampans
Holiday Inn Hotel, 132 Corstorphine Road,
Edinburgh,
EH12 6UA
Situated amidst the business-like functionality of the Holiday Inn, Sampans makes a fair stab at transcending its bland surrounds. The smart restaurant area, set apart from the rest of the hotel, is full of tasteful Oriental touches such as…
The Dining Room
11–13 Crails Lane,
St Andrews,
Fife,
KY16 9NR
Tucked a short ways up an attractive medieval lane, The Dining Room unfolds across two floors of
a traditional stone-walled building that was, in a former life, a pair of wooden townhouses. Many
of the original features remain visible, having been…
Taste Good Inn
7 Burn Place, Off Dukes Road, Cambuslang,
Glasgow,
G72 7DS

Lily's
103 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DX
Tucked away in Merchant City, Lily’s may look like your average café from the outside but the menu tells a different story. Successfully combining paninis, burgers and baked potatoes with Chinese dishes, the noodle soup sprinkled with roast sesame seeds…
See Woo Restaurant
The Point, 29 Saracen Street,
Glasgow,
G22 5HT
With Scotland's largest Chinese supermarket sitting alongside the restaurant, See Woo clearly has a plethora of ingredients at its disposal. An extensive yet moderately priced menu, specialising in Cantonese and Pekinese cuisine, are tangible signs of…
Yumla
80 Miller Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DT
Yumla is smack bang in the heart of the city – just off Argyle and Ingram Streets – yet it is somewhat hidden on a dark Merchant City street. This rather concealed location may well explain the well-lit, flashy exterior that leads into a very large…
Rumours Kopitiam
21 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HW
Bustling, and often full of students, this Malaysian café on Bath Street provides a great pit stop for groups on their way out. A kopitiam in Asia is traditionally a breakfast and tea or coffee shop (kopi being the Malay for coffee) although Rumours…
China Blue
96 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1NH
The darkened staircase leading to China Blue gives the impression of an out-dated karaoke bar, yet the authentic food is anything but a parody. The menu is separated into an opening section of familiar Westernised dishes and traditional Chinese dishes…
