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…

Rumours Kopitiam

21 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 1HW

Rumours Kopitiam seems to have it all – a great location on a busy Bath Street corner, tasty Malay dishes and more than reasonable pricing. All this ensures that even on a wet weekday night, punters will steadily stream through the door. Sure, the…

See Woo Restaurant

The Point, 29 Saracen Street, Glasgow, G22 5HT

See Woo is a cavernous hall attached to Scotland's biggest Chinese supermarket. Ideal for large weddings and New Year celebrations, the vast dining area is bookended by a stage and a bar. Tanks of fish keep some younger diners entertained but, while…

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…

Asia Style

185–189 St George's Road, Glasgow, G3 6JD

It's a bit blighted, it's too bright, and service can be brusque – yet its Chinese-Malay food has kept many Glaswegians happily fed for a decade. Asia Style's décor was spartan back at the start and it hasn't improved with age, but diners come for good…

Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight

28 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9HX

Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight is a compact, canteen-style restaurant serving authentic Malaysian food in basic but comfortable surroundings. Its small shop front may be easy to miss, but it remains well known and popular with students seeking an…

Loon Fung

2 Warriston Place, Canonmills, Edinburgh, EH3 5LE

Apparently it’s good feng shui to have your property on a river, which perhaps explains why the Loon Fung, sitting by the Water of Leith, has now been going for over forty years. Owner Sammy Tam doesn’t hold with such things, however, and puts success…

The Lee On

3–5 Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh, EH10 4HN

Master Sun's Hot Pot

87 Cambridge Street, Glasgow, G3 6RU

If you can't see through the windows as you pass this Chinese restaurant on the fringes of Glasgow's vaguely demarcated Chinatown, that's because of the many hotpots bubbling away in the small, mezzanined diner. Master Sun's is the town's first and only…

Chop Chop

76 Commercial Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6LX

Chop Chop in Leith was built on the reputation of the original outlet in Haymarket. Opened in 2010, it shares an identical menu to its sister restaurant, but the aim here seems to be to provide a more laidback and sophisticated atmosphere than the buzz…

Chop Chop

248 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8DT

With a plain and pleasant interior that’s more mess hall than Manchuria and a noisy, welcoming buzz about it, Chop Chop has built its popularity and reputation around its homemade dumplings, which are served boiled or fried with assorted, mixed meat…

Lychee Oriental

59 Mitchell Street, Glasgow, G1 3LN

Opening its doors in September 2012, Lychee Oriental is already building an impressive reputation. On entering, you are greeted by a jovial maître d' and neutral, comfortable interiors. The food is similarly simple and elegant – manageable portions of…

Wing Sing Inn

147–149 Dundee Street, Edinburgh, EH11 1BP

Chinese restaurants in Scotland rarely offer something other than the safe choice. There might be one or two more traditional dishes speckled about some menus, but the predictable pantheon of westernised Chinese cuisine dominates. In the Wing Sing Inn…

Jasmine Chinese Restaurant

32–34 Grindlay Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9AP

With the Traverse and Royal Lyceum theatres and the Usher Hall on its doorstep, you would think this Chinese restaurant with its distinctive, red-painted façade would be ideal for a quick pre-theatre fuel stop. Yet Jasmine's varied menu and focus on…

Karen Wong's Chinese Restaurant

107–109 St Leonard's Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9QY

Karen Wong is the name above the door and, unsurprisingly, the host’s personality is front and centre of this cosy Southside restaurant. The warm welcome and attentive service has been rewarded with a loyal clientele who return time after time since the…

Stack Dim Sum Bar

42 Dalmeny Street, Edinburgh, EH6 8RG

Tucked away along a side-street off Leith Walk, Stack Dim Sum Bar is named for the bamboo steamer baskets which stack upon one another, each containing its own steamed delicacy. Among the selection of homemade steamed dim sum the Authentic Chao Chou…

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…

Xanadu Chinese Restaurant

13–14 Dalziel Place, Meadowbank, Edinburgh, EH7 5TP

Husband and wife team Colin and Irene Chiu run this friendly neighbourhood restaurant perched just off the main road through Meadowbank. Named after an emperor’s summer palace, Xanadu’s own decor is simple and functional with Chinese scenes on the pale…

349 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3HW

Golden Dragon Castle

21 Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3DN

In 2014 Golden Dragon Castle celebrates its fiftieth anniversary on Castle Street. In almost half a century of bringing Cantonese food to Edinburgh’s city centre, they've presumably seen one or two changes in clientele. They have stuck to their guns…

Karen's Unicorn

8b Abercromby Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6LB

Loon Fung

417–419 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3LG
