Beijing Banquet
17 Maulsford Avenue, Danderhall, Edinburgh, EH22 1PJ
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…
Chop Chop
76 Commercial Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6LX
With a hugely successful restaurant, a wholesale operation and TV appearances with Gordon Ramsay under her belt, Jian Wang’s Chop Chop is already a success story. It stands to reason that expansion was on the cards, and as such the Leith branch has…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8DT
Be sure to phone up in advance of heading to Chop Chop, not least because the well-lit, no-frills canteen is busy at the quietest of times. The newer Commercial Street incarnation, with its classical Chinese prints and more clinical décor, generates a…
Cyclamen
21 Argyle Place, Edinburgh, EH9 1JJ
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…
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…
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…
Gili Gulu
57 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9JQ
A comprehensive website and direct online ordering, as well as weekday lunchtime opening, marks Gili Gulu as a sharp, well-run operation. Lying in a prime position for students, the interior is clean and bright and the service prompt. An extensive menu…
Golden Bridge
16 Henderson Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6BS
If the traffic and unrelenting noise of Leith Walk and Great Junction Street are getting you down, then Golden Bridge is a quiet centre of calm and an ideal place to recharge and raise your spirits. Everything from the classical Chinese music and the…
Golden Dragon Castle
21 Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3DN
Golden Dragon Castle boasts an excellent location on the corner of Rose and Castle Streets, so enjoy your view of the castle before you ascend the steps to this attractively decorated and kindly lit Cantonese-style restaurant. Tourists who can no…
Hong Fu Noodle
3–7 Waterloo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3BG
After the Ark bar hauled anchor from Waterloo Place, this canteen-style Chinese popped up in its place with minimal fixings. Ikea-style tables may feel rather temporary alongside the old bar and moulded ceilings but if you want a quick, cheap meal…
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…
Kam Po
34 West Preston Street, Southside, Edinburgh, EH8 9PY
A relative newcomer to the Edinburgh restaurant scene, Kam Po has set its standards pretty high. With beautifully fresh fare and service so attentive it borders on embarrassing, it's only a matter of time before news of this family-run Southside gem…
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 - New Town
8b Abercromby Place, New Town, Edinburgh, EH3 6LB
Perched on the edge of Queen Street Gardens, Karen's Unicorn New Town serves modern Chinese cuisine. Crafted with a hint of finesse, tempting house specialities include Cantonese-style beef fillet, or honey roast pork. Understated yet elegant, 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…
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…
Loon Fung
2 Warriston Place, Canonmills, Edinburgh, EH3 5LE
Loon Fung has been dishing up Cantonese dishes to the residents of Canonmills for almost forty years and regulars still count for the majority of the business. And it is clearly the food as opposed to the functional décor that is the lure. Classics…
Miso & Sushi
46a Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh, EH12 5LA
There’s more to Miso and Sushi than, well, miso and sushi. Epic agedashi tofu, for a start. Properly spicy tuna hand-rolls. Well thought out bento boxes, putting together different hot and cold dishes in a way that takes guesswork out of what can be an…
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…
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…
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…
Red Box Noodle Bar
51–53 West Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DB
Operating right in the heartland of Southside student country, Red Box is on to a winner with its brand of cheap but plentiful fast Chinese food, served for eating in or taking away in neat, American-style card boxes. Decorated in minimal tones of…
Royal Dynasty
197 Whitehouse Road, Edinburgh, EH4 6BU
Saigon Saigon Restaurant
14 South St Andrew Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2AZ
Increasingly renowned for dim sum, it could be all too easy to fill up on the wide variety of dumplings and wonder how you’re going to find room for a main course. But delicious (and, at £3.30 for three, good value) though the prawn and bean curd rolls…
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…
Silver Bowl
12 Albert Place, Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH7 5HN
Silver Bowl
135 Restalrig Road, Edinburgh, EH7 6HN
Silver Bowl
311 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 8SA
With three branches in the area, Silver Bowl has cornered the Leith market for modern Chinese and Thai take-out. Thai is available from the Albert Place branch, while Chinese can be picked up or delivered from all three. Booking can be made easily…
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…
Tian Tian
8 Gillespie Place, Edinburgh, EH10 4HS
Advertises itself as a 'Traditional Chinese Hot Pot Restaurant'.
Wa Wa Basement
4 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3JT
WaWa Noodle Bar
13 West Crosscauseway, Edinburgh, EH8 9JW
Inspired by the noodle bars of Hong Kong, where eating on the move involves staying on your feet, Michael Yip has opened this compact standing-only noodle bar come Chinese takeaway as a radical alternative to his Dragon Way restaurant around the…
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…
Xanadu Chinese Restaurant
13–14 Dalziel Place, Meadowbank, Edinburgh, EH7 5TP
This restaurant's Hong Kong husband and Malaysian wife team chose to name it after Kublai Khan’s summer palace, over a hundred miles north of Beijing. Edinburgh’s Xanadu is not quite inner Mongolia, but it is a bus ride from the city centre and the…
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…
Zen Kitchen
138 Dundas Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5DQ
So often takeaways churn out uninspired menus of tried and tired ‘favourites’ that are utterly undistinguishable from each other. Zen Kitchen, however, bills itself as an Asian fusion restaurant, producing delicious and distinctive dishes from around…
