Sichuan House in Edinburgh, City of

Came across this place by accident on our way to the National Museum. The place was jam-packed, which is always a good sign. The spicy Sichuan hotpot was absolutely incredible, I could eat it every day forever. Blew my friend's head off with the spice, but if ever anything was worth losing your head over, this would be it!

This is probably one of the best Chinese places I’ve been to. I was here for a school trip and most of the food around the area didn’t get me full or wasn’t flavorful but this restaurant was so good I finished my whole plate. I recommend the fried noodles(with chicken) and fried rice with duck- both were amazing!

Including mam and I there were only four ‘long noses’ at lunchtime in this busy eatery in heart of Edinburgh. That told us the food must be authentic and respected. Friendly and busy service. This ain’t fine dinning and if you’re looking for refinement, you’ll be disappointed. We ordered chicken with cashew nuts and noodles, 1/4 duck (with the ubiquitous pancakes and so on), a sweat and sour fried pork, and rice. The rice never arrived mind, and I requested it to be stuck from my bill. The server was apologetic when I pointed out the missing dish. The duck was superb. Not at all fatty (like some) and the skin was so crisp. The noodles were lovely. Mam thought her chicken dish was decent and I enjoyed my pork. The place was full of mostly young Chinese tucking in.

Geweldig gegeten in dit chinese restaurant. Ze hebben een zeer uitgebreide keuze aan traditionele chinese gerechten. Zeker de moeit waard, sommige gerechten lekker pittig dat wel. Gelukkig is er ook een biertje te krijgen om te blussen.

We decided to try this on our last day and so glad we did, otherwise we would have missed out on the best Chinese we have had. They give you 2 menus, one white menu for non-spicy and a red menu for spicy food. Highly recommend the Singapore noodles, the chicken noodles, the mini vegetable spring rolls and the 1/4 aromatic duck pancakes. The atmosphere was very relaxed with people chatting and calm music. The waitress was lovely and very friendly.

Heel vriendelijke ontvangst. Uitleg bij de kaart. Bij de bestelling mochten we door geven geen gember te willen . Mooie porties, ruime keuze . Niet direct voor een date maar het is eten is top .
