First meal out with friends for well over a year! Chinese Manor House is still as good as before: Thai chicken for starters and crispy chilli beef with fried rice for mains. Really nice & good portion sizes. So much nicer here than the majority of Chinese restaurants, which may be cheaper but lack quality. I could eat here every day of the week!

Went in August to celebrate my Dads birthday. We all had soup to start with. 2 of us had Hot and Sour soup which was excellent. The other was chicken and sweet corn which they said was good. Had shredded crisps beef for our main and that was excellent and just the right level of spice. Only downside was had a wait a while for our first drinks but apart from that was very good.

Been going here since not long after it first opened well over 10 years ago. By far the best chinese in Edinburgh. Service has always been outstanding. Food always tatses fresh and flavoursome - not greasy in the slightest. Couldn't recommend more.

We have sat in and had take aways here for the last 10+ years. The best Chinese food loved by the whole family and extended family. We have brought people here from far and wide and did not disappoint once. Birthday’s, Anniversary’s or just any excuse. The staff are always lovely and it’s always nice to be recognised when you return. My favourite dish has to be crispy shredded chicken in chilli sauce. Can’t wait to be able to sit in again and enjoy our meal with the great atmosphere.

I’ve been using this restaurant for a number of years and have introduced several other people to it. Everyone has enthused over the authentic quality of their food. The management and staff are very friendly and very caring and always aim to resolve any issues fairly and positively...not that there are ever many problems. Their attitude to the community excelled during lockdown when they supplied the NHS with 30 free meals every week for 12 weeks as well as free deliveries each week to local vulnerable people nominated by the community. Can’t speak highly enough of them. If you’ve never been please give it a try. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Can’t go this Hogmanay but will certainly be getting a delivery.

The Chinese Manor House has been able to continue to cook and deliver fantastic food during this difficult year. The staff have remained helpful and friendly throughout and have gone above and beyond to deliver a five star service regardless if you eat in or collect a takeaway. The authentic taste of the food is the closest that I have sampled in the UK to what I have eaten in Hong Kong. I would highly recommend this place for those of you that enjoy your Chinese food.

As a regular customer it is easy to forget to review. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever eaten in. All the dishes we have tried have exceeded expectations and some excellent fusion food too like salt n chilli haggis which is a great starter. Some beautifully authentic traditional dishes but caution to those who don’t like it hot as sometimes it is authentically spicy. Cold beers and a friendly service every time. Highly recommended.

Having travelled the world staying in Hong Kong for three years having tried all Chinese cuisine we find the Chinese Manor House in Edinburgh to be one of the best authentic tasty dishes we have ever tasted. From the presentation to the manor of the staff, we found to be 5 star quality. Great to see in this day and age, the friendliness and cleanliness of an outstanding restaurant, we will be back again. Ps, the king chilli prawns are to die for.

Had a takeaway last week and as usual the food was excellent and very tasty. I especially loved the crispy beef in chilli sauce and the lemon chicken. The delivery also came promptly for a Friday night. It was so good we are getting another one this weekend! We have not physically been in to the restaurant since covid started as we have two elderly mothers but will definitely miss going on New Year's eve for dinner as last year was fantastic and enjoyed by all. So for now we will continue with getting takeaways and hope to go back to the restaurant personally in the New Year. I would recommend the Chinese Manor House for its quality of food and the great service we have had in the past.

Catherine and her son greeted us at the door for my grand fathers 70th birthday. The service we received was by far the best service I've personally had before. We also booked again for my granfathers diamond anniversary. We had the private function room for 15 family members order was taken all together and within 40 minutes everyone's order came out piping hot no issues whats so ever. This happened on both occasions They also giving my grand father a birthday present and went out there way to decorate the room and had taken photos for the special occasion. For this reason my granfayher loves this place and vists once every fue months. He would love to visit more often but due to poor health unable to now. But still talks about Chinese Manor House to this day. I can honestly say this place holds a special place in my heart. Also salt and pepper haggis bon bons are to die for

Don't make the mistake I did !

Love the Chinese Manor House and I am regular with my elderly mother. We love the staff who are so friendly and welcoming and the wide variety of food on offer including Thai. You will not be disappointed here as only quality ingredients are used and their chicken curry and sweet and sour are my two favourite mains and I should mention the duck dispenses are equally deliciou. My mouth is watering writing this review and I’m hoping for a birthday treat here on 28th Dec so will be dropping hints to my family before Xmas as it is so local for me as well.

We usually under normal times go to The Chinese Manor House every Friday night for our special meal but now have it delivered. The meals are always delivered in good time and remain piping hot. As I am on a Gluten free diet my choice is always chicken and sweet corn soup, delicious, and king prawn sweet and sour Cantonese style with egg fried rice specially cooked for me without soya sauce and that too is wonderful. My husband varies his choice and we both have never been disappointed. All we can say is a big thank you for their service during this terrible time.

My first time going to the Manor House for my friends birthday meal, we got there and the had us booked in for the wrong date although we were told differently, we weren’t shown to our table basically just got told where to go, then we got our drinks order taken which one of which wasn’t right, the food order got taken and my friend starter wasn’t correct and the women serving looked at us like we were wrong and tried to say that’s what she ordered, then the mains came which was fine although not quite sure why I had raw vegetables in my Chinese chicken curry, the women plating the rice leaned right over the table and wasn’t giving any space. Everything kept getting placed at the edge of the table which I thought was wrong when there was a space next to my other friend, then it came to paying and the bill got brought straight to us before we could finish drinks then the women came straight over with the card machine for us to pay without giving us any time to get sorted as they directly looked across to our table which I felt uncomfortable with, there was no track and trace or hand sanitizer available, the staff didn’t have the face masks on properly. The food was nice but the service was shocking, I didn’t enjoy my first and only experience in the restaurant.

I was really looking forward to coming yesterday for lunch. My friend had pre booked the table and when we turned up she said it wasn’t booked. The way the lady looked at us really made me feel very uncomfortable. We got in and sat at a table. The lady came over and took our drink, which I asked for an orange and lemonade and it came back just with orange juice. We ordered our food and everything was fine. My friend ordered a starter when it came out it was the right thing she ordered the lady said are you sure, cause that’s what your ordered, but my friend hadn’t ordered it at all. The 2 girls stood at the bar staring over at our table and pointed over at our table which had made me feel very uncomfortable. Our mains came and everything was fine, the lady was dishing out the rice for me and my friend, my friend was sitting next to me, and stretched right across the table in front of me, no personal space at all, it put me off eating. By that point I just wanted to walk out. The food was good, but the service was absolutely terrible. And the staff made me and my friend feel very uncomfortable.

Went to Chinese Manor House tonight thought we would support local restaurants taking part in the government eat out scheme!! I’m sad to say it was not a very good experience at all! We were shown to our table and our details taken as we arrived which was fine. We ordered quickly as we only had the table for 1 hours and 15 mins which was fine, but our waitress who took our order came back 10 mins later to check what we had ordered she obviously hadn’t put order in yet. Other diners who had ordered after us got served first we let this go our starters arrived and were fine, our mains were not nice at all fillet steak in mandarin sauce was chewy and had fat on some of it the Thai curry was Beef when it arrived and we had ordered chicken so they changed it and it was like soup with chicken floating in it!! The portion sizes were very small and prices very expensive even with our discount!! We will definitely not be back very disappointed.

Went to the Manor last week with my friend and son. This is my favourite chinese and highly recommend. We were shown straight to our seat quickly and had a good distance between each table. All staff wore a mask at all times. Food ordered and brought out very quickly and tasted amazing as always. (We had chicken noodle soup, chicken chow mein, soft noodles and chicken curry then an ice cream). We had a couple of special requests, no veg in noodles or curry , neither of which was a problem to them.

Here is an honest review of our evening meal 21st of August.We arrived and were seated to our table. Social distancing was in place as best as possible which was good to see. We ordered 3 starters, which was where the first issue began. One of them arrived late instead if all together. The won ton soup was OK. Peking ribs looked as if they were covered in a batter then deep fried. They were also very chewy and tough to eat. Our starter that arrived late was salt and chilli shredded crispy chicken. This was tasteless - and to be honest you could hardly taste the "salt" or "chilli" aspect of this starter. For our mains we ordered a combination satay and a king prawn satay which arrived in a sizzling tray. This was probably the worst satay I have had in a Chinese restaurant. The sauce was tasteless - very very poor. Some good feedback was one of the waitors came and asked how our meal was and I explained to him my thoughts, was very attentive and offered us something else, so the service from him was great and appreciated.Overall, the meal was very bland and ridiculously over priced for the quality of the food.

We booked a table on Wednesday 12th August.This was my wife and I's first meal out since lock-down. Since we've been isolating/shielding for some time now, we were both very excited. But to be honest, we were astonished at the sheer lack of care when it came to social distancing in the restaurant. Fine, the staff were wearing aprons, masks, gloves etc but the tables were all full and people just crammed in. I think i maybe saw 2 tables not in use , with barriers. Almost as a token gesture to customer safety.The waiting staff showed us to our table, but we were right next to people either side of us. I mean, touching distance apart! Folk at nearby tables getting up and down, back and forth to the bar, it really was quite unsettling.My wife felt extremely uncomfortable, and i asked the waiter if he had another table away from others, and all I got was a huff and a puff. Eventually they found us another table, but I must say that my wife and I felt extremely uncomfortable for the remaining time we were there. We ate quick, and left soon after.What we expected to be a lovely meal out, turned out to be a terrible experience for us. This blooming virus needs to be taken more seriously! Filling tables is obviously more important than the health of their customers. Will be avoiding the Chinese Manor for the foreseeable future!

Their food is great I can’t deny that but they seem to have fewer options than other Chinese takeaways. And the staff are incredibly rude. In the past I have tried to order over the phone and they sound very disinterested in giving any kind of satisfactory service. Many times i have gotten a delivery and it is either wrong or they have forgotten a few things and they just try to brush it under the carpet and like I am stupid.

Best Chinese I ever had. High on taste, low on MSG. I’d highly recommend. The service is always super quick and very friendly.

I arranged for my mum and dad to receive a free meal for yesterday given it was my mum's birthday.My parents said it was absolutely delicious. Both quality and quantity exceeded their expectations given the times we find ourselves in and our experiences from other various takeaways.Thank you again. Keep up your excellent work. We are looking forward to you being fully open again.

I arranged for my elderly neighbour to receive one of the free meals during lockdown she was delighted and said it was delicious. I have had a couple of takeaway as well which were good.

My mum recently received a free meal from The Chinese Manor House as part of them helping the vulnerable in the local community so well done for that. The meal my mum received was delivered piping hot, a generous portion and was the best curry chicken my mum has ever tasted. I am also a customer of theirs and always receive delicious fresh food from them.

Food was lovely and service was great. Been a few years back for a sit in meal and would definitely be using the takeaway menu again.

We don't eat many takeaways however since lockdown we have one once a week and are using it as an opportunity to try new places. Chinese Manor House has been out favourite so far and we have returned 3 times. Definitely the best takeaway we have had in Edinburg. Highly recommended.

This is not our normal place to have a Chinese takeaway but given the covid situation we thought we would give it a try. Looking at the reviews we expected good food and service. The food was average at best and customer service lacking. We ordered 3 main courses and only received 2 of the 3 main courses. Mistakes happen but there is clearly a lack of attention to detail. The order was repeated to me by 3 members of staff but no one checked what was in the bag. This meant one unhappy dinner in the family. So always check your bag before leaving and the food was disappointing so I cannot recommend.

The Worst Chinese EVER. After reading what are clearly made up reviews had the worst Chinese carry out ever anywhere. The main dishes were bland and tasteless. The rice was over cooked and hard and the noodles also over cooked and tasteless.

I grew up in Edinburgh and have always known this Chinese Restaurant has a name for being the best it's so highly spoke about but with living kind of far outside town never got a chance to try it.. until now and oh my god am I glad I moved to Cramond.

Can’t fault Chinese Manor House at all, I’ve ordered 2 takeaways this week from them & both have been beautiful. Delivered in under 20 minutes and the food was all delicious and piping hot. Very friendly on the phone & now my favourite takeaway in Edinburgh!

Debido a que no pudimos visitar el restaurante debido al cierre, anoche acabamos recibiendo un pedido de entrega en lugar de Chinese Manor House. Obtuvimos un banquete para 3 (en realidad podría haber alimentado a 5 personas) y fue la mejor comida china que hemos tenido durante años. Haremos esto regularmente durante el período de "apagado". El personal también es amable cuando llama. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera en el área de Corstorphine.

Enjoyed a warm welcome for my birthday at a difficult time around the world. Fantastic quality of food which is always the case on every visit including takeaway food. A good variety of choice including gluten free. It’s the best Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh by far. Friendly helpful staff in person and on the phone.

I've been going here for years and it's always been a consistently excellent place to eat. The staff are friendly and efficient, as is the kitchen. The chef is extremely good and will always give you recipe tips if you ask him, which you will want to because his dishes are some of the best in the city.

We had friends to stay over last month and wanted a really good Chinese take away meal to enjoy with them. We were not disappointed! Going by a combination of trip advisor ratings and proximity to our home, we chose Chinese Manor House and would certainly use it again.

Lunch with colleagues , it was cold in the restaurant, and absolutely no atmosphere, food was lovely as always and staff were very nice, needs car park as the car park they have only holds 5 cars.

We were a large group of 17. They were able to accommodate everyone with no issues. They cater for vegetarians too. We were there until closing and they didn't rush us to leave. It was a great meal and a fab evening.

Very tasty meal we had this evening. Peking spare ribs were very nice, no complaints whatsoever. The fried rice was nice but it was just rice, bland and nothing else. I had squid in ginger and spring onions, again very tasty but lacking a kick of ginger. My wife had chicken fried rice but covered in a weird gravy.

Came here when I was travelling and wanted to have some chinese food. I'm quite picky when it comes to chinese cuisine as I come from an asian country but this place did not disappoint! Really enjoyed my meal and price range was decent. Would recommend to my friends that visit :)

Great place. Would recommend their prawn toast. I would have gotten another if my stomach weren't full (large portions :0). Also very sweet kitchen porter. Definitely a must try. Worth it!
