Oriental Delight in Edinburgh, City of

Tasted good, but had hoped for bigger portions. Ribs didn't have that much meat on them, and there wasn't much meat at all in the pork and duck dish I ordered.

Food was delicious prompt service 😋

Munchie box is really good, would order again! BUT buy an extra sauce because it’s soooo dry without.

Rice was nice but chicken balls and prawn balls we’re over cooked so we did not eat them

Not value for money. Both mini Spring rolls and larger spring rolls were tasteless with very little filling. Special fried rice had virtually no sauce and no fried egg. Deep fried seaweed had no peanut topping and was not worth £6.00. Lemon chicken with bland spicy sauce. Portion sizes small. Disappointing.

Always great food, never disappoints

Absolutely great food, quick delivery and very nice delivery driver, would 100% order again.

Have only ever ordered the boneless munchy box but it is monstrously sized and delicious

Food was perfection! Travelled from Wallyford just to have it tonight

I've been a regular customer for many years and I keep coming back, because food is always tasty, piping hot and on time. The best Chinese takeaway in Leith! 😃👌

Always deliver, never dissapoints.

Absolutely stunning, the best Chinese I've ordered since moving here, very good food fast delivery and absolutely hot

1st time using app. The food was excellent will definitely use again

delicious as always. never disappointed 😁

Great hot tasty food delivered early too.

Everything we ordered was really tasty.

Very good, I got the munchy box and it came in around 40 mins. The chips and chicken were crispy not soggy and very flavourful. Would order again

Food tastes great, quick delivery. Very happy

Ordered crispy spring rolls..not delivered. Seaweed sent but not what ordered so disappointing. Wont order again

Munchie box great value and good quality 👌

Great quality again. I'm a regular customer and this is my go to Chinese takeaway.

my go-to place for Chinese. munchy boxes save my life consistently.

Amazing food but took a while to get to us.

very late. ordered at 1900, delivery foreseen for 2000, arrived at 2100. ridiculous. will never order again

Sadly not enjoying this takeaway anymore. Curry sauce sweet and not spicy

We love it here. Probably filled with everything you shouldn’t eat but it’s delicious - the salt n chilli sauce/seasoning they use. Incredible. Our favourite Chinese takeaway

Great service - friendly delivery guy

Very good. just wish there was an indicator of which items are vegetarian.

Honey chilli chicken was like it was swimming in yellow water, drained as such too. Chicken satay just pure oil with no taste, rice was good and prawn crackers and chips too but would be hard to mess those up

Items not ready. Even when they had said order was ready to collect, disappointed that they felt the need to say it was ready when clearly wasn’t. Stood in takeaway for an extra 15 minutes before it was ready. Food quality is good for the price.

Good food! Really enjoyed the chicken satay skewers! BBQ sauce was amazing! Chips could have been a little better!

They delivered in the middle of a red westher warning so a bit late is not a problem!!!

Delicious 🤤 Chinese! The best salt and chilli- highly recommend this place! Yummy 😋

Food arrived cold with items missing called restaurant they agreed to send missing items. Items arrived 40 minutes later cold also. the curry sauce was like jelly. By the time we had all items they were all freezing cold

I ordered Beef Chow Main but got Prawn Chow Main, otherwise food was good as was the service.

good food! consistent in quality.

Noddles and gyoza are always very testy but lately my favourite dish, sweet and sour Cantonese chicken, is disappointing; more than half of the portion is onions , no vegetables and no pineapple which is the main reason why I get the Cantonese style. Hope this changes as it was, so far, my favourite Chinese .

My favourite Chinese takeaway restaurant. The salt and chili tofu is delicious and contains a lot of tofu! Other highlights are the range of coconut and satay dishes and the sweet and sour prawn balls. Food arrives hot and the delivery driver is always polite and cheerful.

Lovely driver, very polite and professional

First time I have ordered from the Oriental Delight and it won’t be the last. Food was excellent ! Really good size portions and was delivered really fast. Very impressed and would definitely recommend.

the food was good, however they made mistake while preparing order. i asked for chicken they gave me.prawns and pork😅

Exactly what you hope for from a local Chinese takeaway. Great value, tasty (we always get the sweet & sour chicken and prawn chow mein, and are never disappointed), usually arrives really quickly (while sometimes it’s here in 15min, at busy times like Friday or Saturday evenings it can sometimes take a while longer like 30–45, but that’s understandable), good portion sizes, and always comes with free prawn crackers. We’ve tried nearly every Chinese takeaway in the area, and while there are some others whose food might be a little nicer, it costs nearly twice as much. This place is our regular, because for the price it can’t be beat.

(Deep Fried Shredded Beef with Honey Chilli Sauce x Plain Chow Mein) + Chicken Balls, Rice and Sauce Box Meal = 5 gold stars

Excellent quality and quantity as usual.

Very poor, been on the toilet more times I’ve spent outside in 2025. Wouldnt recommend

Piping hot food, very tasty, arrived at exact requested time when ordered a few hours before. Will definitely order again

Order took 2 hours to arrive. Tried calling but it was impossible to get through. Once we did get through two hours later they said the order was conveniently 10 minutes away despite it being obvious they had not even started the order. Completely impossible to get updates on orders and a complete disregard for customers trying to get in touch. once it eventually did come after 2 hours the chips were freezing cold and it was missing the fried rice. not worth the wait

Food is generally pretty good. Shredded chilli beef is really tasty as it the salt and chilli items. The prawn toast though is terrible and is essentially fried bread with no prawns. Avoid that.

Food was delicious as always, our go to Chinese. Just ran late today with it being New Years day

Food was great, delivery earlier than advised. ribs were fantastic, however Lukewarm as was the rice, however to be expected on hogmanay. Chicken Szechuan (THAT I ORDERED) was very nippy due to no fault of the take away, however the extra rice I added made it much more manageable. Thanks again guys. Will definitely order again.

Would definitely order again! Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Lovely meal delivered for Christmas Day dinner - less stress, more flavour! We'll definitely order from Oriental Delight again - ideal name for this takeaway!

Excelente cada vez y vale la pena la espera. Mi ir a comida china para llevar y he sido cliente durante años. Muy recomendable!

Food delivered was piping hot and very tasty - looking forward to ordering our Christmas Dinner from Oriental Delight later this week!

Was lovely but the chicken didn’t taste that good

Amazing as always food was piping hot and fresh the crispy shredded chilli garlic beef was so good! Can’t see past this place

Amazing food! very tasty, hot! very nice driver who delivered the food to me! definitely recommend. from today no. 1

best flavor and quality, highly recommend!

Fantastic food from the best Chinese takeaway in Edinburgh!

Chips could be better, but overall 5* from me

Amazing food. Best takeout Chinese in Edinburgh by far!

No prawn crackers that I laid for and no chicken wings !!!

My food hasn’t even arrived, what’s the point of ordering food if it won’t even get delivered to me absolute joke, just eat is getting worse and worse

found part of a plastic cable tie in my food never again

terrible food. munchies box cold on arrival, all food was overdone and inedible. very disappointed as food usually good.

Delicious food every time. Favourite Chinese restaurant in our area by a mile.

Love this Chinese chicken balls are so good and the chicken breast curry is lovely

Great Chinese, never been in person but get it delivered often

This place never misses. Food is so fresh and tasty. The chilli sauce is tangy and great (and not super sweet like other places). I don’t go anywhere else now.

Good delivery. Food was nice but amount of food was limited considerably. I get it was a set meal option quality nice but quantity low

the best Chinese food ever! love their salt and Chilli chicken balls. I've ordered here for over 4 years and would highly recommend!

I stopped off here for a takeaway whilst on a stopover in Leith. I ordered Special Chow Mein, curry sauce and chips. Whilst the food was ok the Chow Mein portion was small and just noodles with some small pieces of chopped ham, chicken and three small prawns. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this place as I think it just relies on passing trade in the area

Food was incredible, salt and chilli chips = perfect, gravy = perfect and the chicken fried rice was to die for

Hopefully this is a constructive review and private. The deep fried prawns were awful, tasted like this was the second or third time fried as they were so dry and crunchy. Chicken was a little better but not much. I really wanted to like them as I used to get them from rice bowl on Easter road and wanted to try something different. Sorry, quality of food will mean I won’t be back but I hope you can act on the feedback as constructive

Fresh, delicious food. We had all vegetarian options that were really generous potions. Delivery time was quick.

Hands down the best Chinese I have ever had. Will never order from another Chinese been ordering from Oriental Delight for years and never ever had an issue. Food is absolutely delicious.

Love the food here, always fresh and tasty. Just wish they would bring back salt and chili shredded beef 😩 my favourite thing on the menu! Please bring it back 🙏

My fav chinese and the staff are so incredibly kind! Always delivering on time or even early

Lovely staff and very accommodating.

delish hot food. the crispy honey chilli beef was very tasty as was the lemon chicken.

Ordenó esto y se le dio un espacio de entrega de 1 hora. Cuando pasó ese tiempo, más 25 minutos, llamé al restaurante para que me dijeran que mi pedido estaba ‘acaba de terminar de cocinarse’ y que serían otros 15-20 minutos. Sin embargo, apareció entre 5 y 10 minutos después. Especulo que había estado listo, olvidado y recalentado apresuradamente cuando llamé. Los entrantes eran gomosos y carentes de sabor. La red es insípida. Los chips fríos. Desperdicio total de dinero y en su mayoría se fue a la papelera.

Food was delivered early and well packed very hot :) soup was good although chicken extremely sweet , lemon and sour chicken I think chef might overdose sugar as I wasn’t able to eat it , overall ok but pls don’t add so much sugar to food I’m a pastry chef for over 25 years and even my cakes aren’t so sweet as this chicken was , tanks

Great food. Never disappoints!

Really very good. Not precisely the dish I was hoping it might be, but a variation that was actually in some ways better.

Exceptional quality and quantity, well done. We will be back!

Food always good quality and normally alqays fast delivery.

First time ordering and really enjoyed. Good quality and service will order again.

Fantastic food, excellent service. All round 10/10. Will definitely recommend.

Not received yet - 1 hour 30 mins and counting.. phoned up going to be another 20 minutes so will be 2 hours before I get to eat

Good very late waited 2 1/2 hours for items to be missing and food cold

food as always was exceptional great quality great value and a bonus prawn crackers for free

chicken in meal was inedible hard as rock and only some pieces covered in sauce

amazing food. super tasty and worth the price. my new go to 👍

the spare ribs were dry and overcooked

Gave me chips and cheese instead of chips and sauce. Cheese was all solid with the chips. My only complaint, everything else was class

Recently moved to the area this is me and my partners 3rd time this week using here and it’s our new favourite so much so that he finished work and said can we please order again! lol. Amazing quality food and the delivery lady is also very lovely. Great experience

The shredded beef and chilli sauce had no sauce at all and was so dry, worst I have ever had.

Found something strange looking in the rice. The chips were awful, shocked that they even served them. Everything else ordered was poor, wont be ordering again.

Best Chinese take away I've had in the area for a long time. Much better than Mr So.

This evening I ordered their crispy duck and sweet and sour pork among other menu items. The food hit the spot and was one of the best I have had in the area. Customer service was excellent even in the late evening and super quick. I definitely recommend as a late night meal. 10/10.
