Restaurants, Chinese and Late dining

Sorted by place / most viewed.

China Blue
96 Renfield Street, Glasgow, G2 1NH
This go-to restaurant for Chinese families in Glasgow this has the appearance of a casual family-run canteen. The number one thing to know about China Blue, however, is that it is very much two restaurants in one. If you sit down, order from the given…
China Town
3 Atholl Place, Edinburgh, EH3 8HP
It’s a difficult balance that owners Thomas and Kattie Chan are trying to strike. The décor, for example, is deliberately refined, the music classical and the atmosphere reserved. The extensive and attractive wine list compounds the feeling that China…
Chow
98 Byres Road, Glasgow, G12 8TB
When the neatly packed two-storey Chow first opened in Byres Road it offered Glasgow an updated take on Chinese dining – the menu was simplified and the surroundings were truly contemporary. A decade or so on it feels pleasant but no longer unusual.
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…
Hot Hot Chinese
60 Home Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9NA
True, you could mistake Hot Hot’s opaque steamy windows for those of a launderette. And yes, the lighting and décor are only slightly more atmospheric than those of a prison canteen – but that’s not the point. Hot Hot does only one thing – the Hot Pot…
Izzi
119 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9AN
Izzi is a restaurant of two halves, with the front dining room clearly visible to the passers-by on busy Lothian Road through a huge plate glass window. The second room is curiously featureless but feels a little more private. Friendly staff greet…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32–34 Grindlay Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9AP
Just across the road from the Lyceum Theatre and open late every evening, Jasmine is ideal for theatregoers. The service, like the place itself, is quiet and on the polite side of friendly, but when the kitchen door opens there’s a reassuring level of…
Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight
28 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9HX
Every city has its secrets, those in-the-know places that are easy to miss in the search for better and brighter eating experiences. While it’s hardly off the beaten track, Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight’s unassuming shop front and barely decorated…
Karen Wong's Chinese Restaurant
107–109 St Leonard's Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9QY
St Leonard’s Street on a damp weekday evening can be a dreary experience, but there’s a bright yellow beacon that is Karen Wong’s Chinese Restaurant. Inside, you’ll find the place comforting rather than adventurous, in terms of both food and…
Karen's Unicorn
8b Abercromby Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6LB
Owner Danny So is nothing if not ambitious. Both branches of Karen’s Unicorn aspire to be more than just another Chinese restaurant: they aim to be classy establishments that happen to serve Chinese food. The presentation, attention to detail and the…
Karen's Unicorn
112 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5AD
When booking Karen’s Unicorn, it’s probably best to specify which of the two locations you are intending to visit. If a Monday or Tuesday, you might just find the one you arrive at is closed. Both restaurants share the same phone numbers and menu, but…
Kweilin
19–21 Dundas Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6QG
Like the prints of misty mountains on its walls, this Cantonese restaurant remains decidedly traditional – and that’s the way its loyal fans like it. Mostly they come for the seafood, fresh from an Anstruther supplier, and for the crispy roast duck.
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside, Edinburgh, EH9 1ST
The ever-cheery Peter Kwok appears to have a loyal following and he offers them what they want, with a menu covering all the dependable classics from Singapore noodles to sesame prawn toasts. The additional daily specials menu injects some welcome…
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…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4PG
The New Edinburgh Rendezvous probably has the most misleading moniker in Edinburgh. There is absolutely nothing new about this grand old timer, which first opened its doors back in 1956. The faded entrance sadly looks like it has not been refurbished…
See Woo Restaurant
The Point, 29 Saracen Street, Glasgow, G22 5HT
Five years ago the vast See Woo cash and carry in the north of the city opened up a restaurant and banqueting hall. While it may not be everyone’s choice to eat in 500-seater hangar space it is certainly full of local Chinese families and visiting…
Wing Sing Inn
147–149 Dundee Street, Edinburgh, EH11 1BP
Often the plainest Chinese restaurants serve the best food. Well, Wing Sing Inn is no beauty queen but it’s what’s inside the kitchen that counts. This is not a first-date place: from the outside it looks like a takeaway joint. Lighting is harsh, the…
Wok and Wine
57a Frederick Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1LH
It’s a relief to find that Wok & Wine takes itself as seriously as any of the Scottish and French restaurants dotted around New Town. Stephanie Lo, the ebullient proprietor, is passionate about her ingredients and making her customers feel welcome…
