Cantonese restaurant and cocktail bar - New Edinburgh Rendezvous
Rendezvous is one of Edinburgh's original Chinese restaurants, specialising in authentic Chinese cuisine
Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight
28 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9HX
The feverish popularity of this canteen style Malaysian eatery with Edinburgh’s Asian student population is testament to its affordability and authenticity. The compact interior is an entirely unpretentious mix of basic seating, odd-coloured walls…
Zen Kitchen
138 Dundas Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DQ
Zen kitchen serves up unique pan-Asian cuisine. The premises are bright and sleekly designed and the well-laid out menu outlines cooking times, spice levels and potential allergies as well as identifying the origin of each dish. The menu includes small…
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…
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…
Dragon-i
311–313 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Both the sharp, minimalist surroundings and quasi-Asian menu serve to underline Dragon-i is anything but a traditional Chinese restaurant. There is an undoubted Scottish element running through the menu, with Stornoway black pudding accompanying crispy…
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…
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…
Amber Regent
50 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2RA
From the staffed cloakroom to the waiters effortlessly filleting fish at the table, the Amber Regent retains many of the characteristics of hospitality from a bygone era. This theme carries through to the furnishings with the restaurant’s adjoining…
Ho Wong
82 York Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8LE
In our era of austerity, restaurants have attempted to entice diners with an avalanche of mid-week, cut-price offers. On a gloomy Tuesday evening, Ho Wong is near capacity despite not offering a pre-theatre or discounted menu options. Considering Ho…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Loon Fung
417-419 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
Founded in 1971, this is Scotland's oldest Cantonese restaurant, renowned for its huge range of seafood and dim sum dishes. It's an expansive dining room opulently but comfortably decorated in red and gold with backlit ceiling panels of marauding…
Chow
98 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Recent renovations to Chow have highlighted the importance in remaining contemporary and fresh in the cut-throat dining arena that is Byres Road. A geisha now adorns the back wall, while an eclectic mix of stylish music can be detected in the…
Rice and Noodle
96 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
With its small frontage, minimal seating and proximity to pubs, Rice and Noodle could easily be categorised as your standard, run-of-the-mill takeaway outlet. An extensive menu with few surprises, all at moderate prices, further suggests this eatery is…
Four Seasons
87 Cambridge Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RU
With its narrow entrance, the Four Seasons takes on an inconspicuous position opposing the towering Thistle Hotel on Cambridge Street. Inside, wallpaper that depicts the opulence, glitz and glamour of Hong Kong contrasts with an understated and very…
