Very tasty Chinese food. Good price. Served very quickly! I ordered the double cooked pork belly and it was juicy, spicy and full of flavour! I especially like the black beans that were added to it! I also had the sweet and sour chicken which has a unique taste the sauce has a tropical taste to it I think it must be the pineapple?
Excellent wait service by Sing, best waiter in a restaurant I’ve dined in for a long time. He was very attentive, swift and polite. He made a recommendation for the coconut sponge dessert which he made himself, and plated the dessert himself while waiting all of the tables. The dessert was delicious and pretty. The starters and main courses were also very delicious. Highly recommend for the cosy atmosphere, tasty food, and friendly staff! We ordered the pork chive dumplings, duck spring rolls, beef ho fun, sweet and sour fish, coconut cake and custard buns (this last one we couldn’t resist taking a bite before taking a photo). We left the restaurant very full and content. Thanks so much for a wonderful night Sing & the rest of the team.
Food was ok. Definitely a few things I would be curious to try, but perhaps not in a dinner setting.
Portions were a bit small, but very well presented:
– sweet and sour fish – think frozen fish might be a bit mushy, and odd taste
– beef fried ho fan – really good. Would be a good lunch dish and a drink. Maybe some sides
– salt and chili squid – great batter, perhaps lacking in the salt and chili taste. Really crunchy
– salt and chili wings – lacking in salt and chili taste. Because they may have been fried from cooked, they were slightly overcooked
– morning glory and fermented tofu – just small portion. But quite well cooked. Just no chili peppers.
– braised lamb in hotpot – this is another star of the show. Ignoring the portion. Really tender, well seasoned, and aromatic
This is a hidden gem of Edinburgh. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone visiting the city. It’s family-owned, authentic Chinese food. The server is super attentive and friendly, and the food was amazing. We went for lunch and I got the beef hot pot – DELICIOUS. We even went back for seconds late at night and they welcomed us in like we were regulars.
I found gem today, this place is amazing and I really want to go back already, staff is doing great job and they are super lovely and helpful, spring rolls was one of the best i had and even after main course they were crispy and tasty and not soggy
Duck was succulent and crispy where it should be, i had a blast.
(Duck was in perfect shape but waiter shred it for me? It was unexpected but kinda nice?)
