Casserole Wang in Edinburgh, City of

Unfortunately, me and my friends all got sick for 3 days after eating their soup

Not good value if you are vegetarian

taste really nice, like the flavour beef best!

Wang Guiren Malatang is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Chinese flavors! You can customize the spice level, making it perfect for both those who love a kick and those who prefer a milder taste. The ingredients are incredibly fresh—crisp vegetables, tender meats, and a great variety to choose from. The restaurant is clean and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that reminds me of home. The staff is friendly .One of my favorite parts is the sauce station, where you can mix your own dipping sauce to enhance the flavors even more. The portions are generous, and the pricing is very fair for the quality and quantity of food you get.

First time going to a hot pot. Price I think is okay considering there's fresh sea food and ramen in other places is the same price Delicious and great staff !!

The staff are very enthusiastic and patient

nice fella and very good service

Very boring taste, not as good as the one in London. But not unpalatable.

The food is always excellent. Would recommend this place to everyone

Me and my daughter went in together to eat this. The meal was expensive compared to other places we went to, and the portion was also smaller than the previous ones. Both of us had put in quite a few vegetables and other things (specifically 4 rice cakes and pak choi) however later on we realized that we never received the amount we ordered. We only got 2 pieces and I've noticed that from reading other reviews, other people have experienced this problem as well and when confronted about it, the staff seem very rude. There are definitely better places to go than this, disappointed.

The place is nice, and it is an authentic Asian experience of choosing your raw food and having it cooked. The place is small and customers are sort of crowded together in the upper floor. One thing that bothered me is that hey have a minimum of 400g per person. For an adult this is already a lot, but for children this constraint is simply absurd. Worth a try, but I would not recommend it with children

Visité este lugar hoy después de verlo en las redes sociales. La primera impresión no fue la bienvenida de los lugares que tuvimos que preguntar cómo funcionaba esto después de una breve explicación que hicimos nuestras elecciones, la primera alarma saltó al mirar los platos de carne, pescado y pollo, todos compartían las mismas pinzas. La segunda alarma fue una visita al baño. Abrí la puerta y un miembro del personal estaba sentado en el inodoro. Ella gritó: "¡No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sabiendo que esto ya estaba vacante, fui a usar el inodoro, el asiento y la taza del inodoro estaban salpicados de sangre, volví a subir las escaleras y se lo destaqué a un miembro del personal. Mi hija la llevó a su hijo de 3 años al inodoro y sus hallazgos fueron los mismos (la sangre todavía presente) usó el inodoro de caballeros y cernió el pequeño sobre él, aunque no había sangre, este inodoro todavía era asqueroso. Este establecimiento necesita una visita de la EHO. La comida estaba caliente, pero a pesar de los artículos que elegí, estaba aromatizada con chile. El a base de tomate para mi nieta que tiene un excelente paladar para el gusto se volvió su nariz hacia arriba en él, así que decidí probarlo, ya que esto no es lo normal para ella. Con todo, antes de pedir su comida, eche un vistazo a los inodoros, si no se pueden limpiar estando enfocado al cliente, cómo es la cocina, ya que no está enfocada al cliente. POBRE SHOW.

The ingredients are okay and there are many options Mostly frozen It feels like a lot of MSG has been added More expensive The decoration is very average

I've been here for more than 5 times I believe. The hotpot is delicious and warming to the body. The place is appealing, too! However, I notice many customers went in or checked the menu outside for a while, became clueless, then left the place. It happens to at least 3 customers every time I eat here. It would be great for your business if there's a staff welcoming/guiding by the door!

Very delicious especially the spicy hot pot soup with beef and bubble milk tea, the staff are very friendly also I would love to visit again and again

Despite the fact that this restaurant has the feel of a student eatery, hotpots are quite expensive for what you get. The quality of the food didn't seem great, and it was all unnecessarily spicy, meaning that the hotpots were very spicy-hot but didn't have any interesting flavour. The atmosphere and the service are not very good either. I doubt we'll go again.

I’ve been plenty of times, it’s always my favourite place in Edinburgh, the soup and dishes are freshly made, very friendly and fast service 👍🏻

Great Hot Pot restaurant, in the middle of the tourist district, across the road from the National Museum of Scotland. There's a bubble tea shop inside too! See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

Amazing soup, nice gentleman serving us. Free sauce. Good selection of fresh ingredients. Eating in is better than takeaway

This is actually the best hotpot i have in my life. Literally. Hai****** is passed by this. The packaging to take out it superb, they sealed it separately with the soup. Soup is sealed like drinking package and alumunium foil. So its Kept hot while bringing home. My husband order 1 malatang soup base and 1 ox bone soup. My kid really love Ox bone soup and eat so many with rice ( rice is superb too, its cooked just right, not soggy, and suit for soup,its perfectly cooked like my zojirushi rice cooker did at home ). The service is great and very helpful. The food is served clean and nice packaging. If you are hangover or need comfort food or you miss taste of asian hotpot like hai****. this food just right for you.

The best soup of my life! A very well prepared complete meal. If you are in Edinburg you must stop and try it. In addition to everything being very tasty, the service was excellent! Nice people

Amazing food, great prices, friendly staff

So happy! ! You can eat Malatang in Edinburgh ~ I’m going to cry🤤🤤🤤

First time for me to try malatang and I really loved it! You can choose anything yoi want from a wide selection of meat, veg, noodles,... Then you choose a broth and they cook everything for you! And there's a sauce bar where you can make you own dipping sauce. Everything i picked was really tasty! Highly recommend!

The flavour was delicious, I chose the tomato pot, the soup was very good, the manager was very nice！

Fresh, hygiene and delicious. The service was excellent and the food was served quickly

tasty! The boss is very nice! I’ll eat it next time I come!

Chinese hot pot, a particularly traditional cuisine. The flavours are great and the owner is very welcoming!

It’s pretty good. You pay cash and get drinks for free.

It was honestly the second best ramen I’ve had. It may be because I got to choose my favourite ingredients you would think, but I can tell you the ox bone soup was delicious! I recommend it big time, plus the service was excellent :)

Very nice, loved the food and variety.

we enjoy the food and the staff is so cute!

The price was very affordable ~ and the flavour was great.The service is exceptionally good ~

Service was excellent and quick. The waitress always had a smile on her face, and checked with all customers re allergies and dietary restrictions. Mala broth was nice. Good selection of noodles/protein/veg to choose from. Highly recommend.

Great food, very kind and helpfull waitress.

I love Mr Wang, his enthusiasm for his restaurant. We visit him almost every weekend for a good sauce mix or hot pot. Loving it!

Definitely my favourite restaurant in the city! I'm here almost every weekend. I highly recommend for everyone who wants to try an authentic hot pot restaurant.

It makes me miss the taste of China. a great dining experience

Very delicious Chinese malatang

First Chinese meal in Edinburgh! Very clean and hygienic!

It’s so delicious. It’s great. I want to go back to China.

You choose all the contents you want and then choose the corresponding soup base. Everything is delivered to your table ready. It was a super tasty hot pot, absolutely recommended!

Delicious casserole, all 4 of us in our party loved it. Will definitely be back

Where is the bubble tea place on the first floor? If you want to go up to the second floor, there is a malatang restaurant! The staff and owner are friendly, and the malatang is delicious. However, when I looked at the ingredients section, it was disappointing to see that the freshness of the vegetables had dropped significantly. There are many unfamiliar ingredients such as liver and frogs, so those who are sensitive to these areas should be careful when choosing ingredients. Still, overall it was a delicious and friendly restaurant. It's worth going when you're craving something spicy! I chose level 2 and they said it would be about as spicy as kimchi, but it was moderately spicy. However, if you use the wrong amount of ingredients, it can be expensive, so you have to control it carefully. I guess the price range is a bit high. Oh, I didn't order a drink, but they gave me tap water! If it's not spicy enough, you can add more red oil from the self-service bar. It doesn't have peanut sauce like Korean malatang, so if you need it, you can get it from the self-service bar and add it too! I added both and it was perfect.

Je recommande ! Système un peu particulier avec les banettes, mais très très efficace ! Plus cher qu’en pharmacie, mais tout de même beaucoup plus efficace…

Yummy food. Tried hotpot👌. Must visit

Food was great. Authentic Chinese taste. Loved it🤤

food was good but they do NOT tell you that some ingredients cost more than others. it's misleading and cost us way more than expected. wont go back.

Taste so good and fresh picking your own ingredients for your soup. Lots to choose from same as the base soup.

I didn't like the place. The bill goes up very quickly, the waitress was not particularly pleasant. The food really is so good for the price. I regret eating there.

Takeaway order: I ordered various vegetables for my hotpot soup. But the food I received was mostly potato noodles, barely any vegetables. Very disappointing

First time coming here, the food here is fantastic. Staff is great and very helpful! So if you haven't tried malatang the staff will kindly show you. Will come again.

The first floor is a bubble tea shop, and the second floor is a malatang shop. mild spicy=Korean malatang 0.5~1 level medium spicy=Korean malatang level 1.5~2 You can add chili oil and peanut sauce from the free bar, so if you don't like spicy food, choose a low spiciness level and add extra spiciness. I chose mild spicy and added chili oil and garlic! It tastes like a Korean malatang with beef bone base and is delicious! They ask if you have any allergies and are very friendly. Recommended if you're traveling to Edinburgh and craving something spicy👍

Great experience, perfect for chilly rainy Edinburgh weather

Great restaurant. Hot pot fans will find what they’re looking for there!! Those who have had experience with hot pot in Asia will find this!! Great for hot pot fans!!!

First time coming here . Staff were friendly and showed us what to do. Food was really tasty and very hot. A nice experience thank you.

Great food and really welcoming staff.

Lovely experience , food was so tasty and the staff were so friendly and explained everything to us ! Really enjoyed our experience here and would highly recommend!

Very friendly Service and great food. It was a happening.

My boyfriend and I went to the restaurant to try some different food, we simply loved it! The attendant was very attentive and friendly. The food was wonderful. We highly recommend it!

Hotpot was amazing ! Super high tech!

Really sweet worker :), food was great

Amazing little place, chose your own ingredients, ox bone base had tons of flavour, nice and quiet, only soft drinks, highly recommended, had to wait 10 minutes for it to cool down the though.

Staff so friendly and helpful! Food was absolutely fantastic, will 100% be coming back!!

Great spot for authentic hotpot! Excellent service at very reasonable prices. You choose how much you want, prices are determined by weight. See the attached pictures. Picture 1 shows a mid spicy broth and Picture 2 is an extra spicy broth. Would highly recommend!

First time ever having hotpot and it was delicious

not my first time and not my last for sure!! love the food here and the staff are so friendly and helpful <3 deffo a must in edinburgh

A very cool experience! First time we tested this concept of Casseroles, the choice was great and the cooking was perfect!

Found it eventually, Greyfriars Bobby straight ahead, turn right down the street, it's on the left not far down. Food, which you choose, cooked... scrumptious, my 6yr old granddaughter can't wait to come back. 😋

So fantastic Chinese food! Nice girl staff, you can get any suggestions from her, even u have no ideas about Chinese food.

Excellent options and excellent service.

Delicious food with amazing selection of ingredients. Unique experience and everyone in the group loved their food and teas.

Hot & sour soup base is so good, there is so many ingredients & toppings to choose from. Very reasonably priced. Fun experience!

I went there yesterday and the place was crowded so I waited to be seated but when the seat was available instead of giving me a seat they gave to Chinese people the seat who didn’t reserve the seat. This was totally unacceptable.

Shortly after enjoying a tomato hotpot, whilst looking round the NMS, I started to feel some stomach upset, which was followed shortly by an explosive visit to the toilet. After recovering, I made my way over and managed to secure a refund. This is particularly unfortunate as I enjoyed the food, and the time in the restaurant, with speedy service and a tasty meal. I'd been to another restaurant in the chain in Cambridge and enjoyed my experience. Unfortunately due to this terrible experience with food poisoning I will not be going back, despite being able to secure a refund.

Lovely restaurant. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Especially with how the concept is they are very helpful on what to pick and what the items are. The food is delicious and fresh. I will definitely be coming back soon :)

very friendly and attentive staff, happy to guide us through the process :) food was all delicious and there was a huge selection to choose from!! would happily come back in future!

Great hot pot. Super friendly staff.

really good food and friendly service!!

Staff was very nice and food was great. Big portions, almost didn’t manage it all :D

Had a lovely time! My partner and I spend a lot of time going on hotpot dates, this one was the cheapest and one of the tastiest we’ve been on so far. Lovely staff, super easy to chat to and really easy to enjoy. Shall be back!

Poor quality food, Place was dirty and messy. food was very expensive for some instant noodles few fish balls as you are most likely too pay £22+ for some instant noodles and a few fish balls. Wouldn't be coming back anytime soon. Completely rip off!

Love it, honestly just *chefs kiss* everytime my girlfriend and I come here, it’s just as great as it was when we first came here, we pretty much come once a week, I miss Jason tho, he was one of the employees but was like my best friend everytime we came. But anyway great place and I’m coming every week.

I love malatang. I eat so many times. I am fully aware of what to expect when I go to malatang places. Here's very dirty. I should've just left. I already picked up a few food, that's why I stayed eat it. But it's really terribly dirty. Table, food, containers, everything. Lucky that I didn't have sore stomach. I won't go back

What a wonderful experience. Select all the ingredients that you want in your hotpot, hand it over to be weighed, choose a broth and a few minutes later a steaming bowl of loveliness is delivered to your table. Absolutely delicious.

First time trying hot pot and I was surprised by the variety of ingredients they have, I even tried a frog leg. The staff was very helpful assisting how to mix the ingredients and serving it. The food was delicious, tasted very authentic and aromatic. The hotpot is well served and you can share it.

You choose everything that you want in the hot pot (2.90 £\100g) and then you choose a sauce(around 2.50) . I got the sweet sour, which was very tasty and also pretty spicy. Service was friendly and correct. Food was amazing, and according to chinese standards there was a lot of tripes and meat/fishballs to choose from. My girlfriend had the ox soup, I préféréd the sour one. I have to say, prices are expensive and it's hard to calculate. We got around 700g per person, and we paid 32 GBP each. Even if you take the minimum of 400g,it is hard to spend less than 20 GBP. But in any case recommended!

The food was amazing and the people are so nice🖤🧡🖤

Best hotpot restaurant in the area !

Amazing hot pot, Best Edinburgh!

These guys are so kind!! And the food is amazing!!!

This hotpot place is a hidden gem in Edinburgh. I was craving for Asian hotpot during my visit, and I found this small restaurant on Google. It’s located on the upper level of a milk tea shop. Honestly, I wouldn’t have known there is a hotpot place here if I just walked by. I was lucky to grab a table before this place became crowded. They only had 4-5 tables. You basically get whatever you like from the display fridge then weight and they will cook for you. It’s £2.95/100g. You also have to pay another £2 for broth base. They also have a sauce bar with a clear instruction how to make some yummy dipping sauces. I ended up paying around £25 for my hotpot bowl but it was well worth it. I got ox bone soup base and it was super tasty - truly hit the spot!!! Staffs were very sweet and attentive. It’s a perfect spot for a raining and cold day in Edinburgh. Highly recommend for anyone who visiting Edinburgh and craving for hotpot like me.

a very good Chinese hotpot. it was very cold when I was there, so I treat myself with a very hot soup.

The food is very good, and the staff are very friendly :)

Loved the individual hot pot and loved that there was a boba shop below. The actual restaurant requires taking stairs and the restaurant is small and cozy. You start by grabbing a basket and choosing your own meats and toppings. Then it gets weighed, you pick your broth. Then it gets taken back to the kitchen. Cool concept and so delicious and perfect for a cold windy day!! Cannot recommend enough !

Great selection of food. Clean display, the staff were friendly and helpful explaining the process. The wait time for food preparation was not long. Tasty and great dining experience.

Absolutely delicious food, great choices and really high quality. Staff were lovely and super helpful too. Will defo be back!

Taste pretty good at beginning but at the end feeling saulty, minimum order 400g which is too much for me…

I've eaten on both branches a number of times mainly because my children enjoy the novelty of it. The staff are warm and friendly and the food is nourishing. However, the decor is tired and dirty. There are often random cardboard boxes and cleaning materials abandoned everywhere. I've grown up in hospitality and feel it's important to keep the venue spotless (especially the toilets) as this can affect a customer's enjoyment. Personally, I feel uncomfortable eating in a environment that needs better upkeep.

Casserole Wang offers a decent hotpot experience. While not totally authentic, their broth and ingredients are flavorful. However, the price point that they charge is rather unreasonable for the portion size and the overall dining experience. Despite this, I'm giving the establishment 4 stars for the range of ingredients available.
