The New Happy Palace in Edinburgh, City of

Normally, The Happy Palace is a safe pair of hands. That's to say it's either pretty good or unremarkable. Occasionally, though, it has a disaster and the food is far below the usual standard. I don't know if it's a backup chef, or no back up chef, but randomly the Happy Palace is a let down. Those blips are infrequent enough that if I don't want to wait for a delivery and just want to pop in somewhere for a quick single person dinner that I'll pop in. I think those small meals are The Happy Palace's strength too. They also do chips and some Western food. Those alternatives seen pretty popular but I've never tried them. Popping in to The Happy Palace is for pick up only. There's no eat in functionality. The waiting area is big enough for half a dozen people. I wouldn't want to follow a gang of yobs in. Overall, need a quick rice dish or something like that? The Happy Palace will do. [October 24 - Tends to be very swift!]

Been my regular Chinese for the last 5 years and the food is always fresh and tasty. The best Chinese in the North of Edinburgh.

Great take away with friendly and helpful service

Chicken in black bean sauce was ok. Sadly the chicken chow mien went in the bin. Wouldn’t order again.

The food was fresh and tasty, spring rolls seemed handmade and had good amount of veg in them. Fast and friendly delivery and they read and used my order notes. Would order again, thanks.

Best Chinese takeout in the area. Definitely my go-to. Their duck curry is amazing.

Literally the worst king prawn chowmein iv had watery brown sauce with vegetables to pad it out with the 7 prawns..

Order arrived after 15 minutes. So quick! Food was nice as well.

really tasty, good portions, will order again!

The best one, Excellent, proper job👌 Sour and hot soup 👍 Big portion ❤️ The duck black bean sauce was tasty and meet was soft but too many skins was not crispy. My dog ​​likes it🙂

Food was great but one item was forgotten. Will still likely order again.

Delicious and our new favourite Chinese

Thank you for calling ahead before delivery. Great food as well.

got a portion of crispy noodles, they looked like they were just taken out the packet, they were so hard I couldn't eat them threw them in the bin.

Salt and chilli prawn batter crispy and delicious. Chicken curry yummy in my tummy. Thanks for a tasty, hot and delicious meal.

Food was great but missing a dish. A phone call remedied this.

Food was cold. Chicken curry and fried rice tasteless, very disappointed as I have had had food man6 times before and was fine.

Food was good. Delivered on time and portions spot-on. Large chips were substantial.

Great food, generous portions and friendly couriers, what more could you ask for

Best chilli beef. Good menu choice. Quick delivery.

food is absolutely amazing im from England ,

Dishes VERY salty and every dish drowned in sauce: Fried Rice? Sauce. Chow Mein? Sauce. Service good and portions large, but can't recommend the food, sorry.

Food was excellent - piping hot and fresh. Excellent delivery from Steven -always happy and professional!

Lovely food and the NICEST delivery driver ever

The rice a little dry but the shop suey was good

Easy to order. As usual, food delivered on time and as ordered.

Excellent food, delivered earlier than expected. Will definitely order again! Many thanks.

Yummy food. Very friendly driver

Delighted it was delivered early. It was a busy night, but they managed to cut down waiting times.

Excellent delivery service. One dish over salted but rest very good will use again.

It came from a different place. The one I got yesterday was better. Today was not wan I expected

Excellent all round and delicious - highly recommend

Really yummy and great delivery service. Thank you

Highly recommend this new food place everything’s cooked beautifully hope they don’t let there standards slip like others do I’ve stayed well away from chinease food for a long time because of there slap dash cooking ,then I stumbled upon this new happy palace thought I’d give it a try glad I did 10 stars from me

Excellent again. Very prompt delivery and good value.

Awful food. Chef has changed and will avoid in future!

Great fast service lively food highly recommend

Amazing food, one of the best Chinese takeout I've had. Fast delivery

It was delivered about 30 mins late and one of the items was wrong. When I phoned to organise the correct item, I was offered a free drink with the replacement food as an apology but never received it.

Excellent customer service due to a large volume of orders because of the football. Thank you.

Delivered quickly and everything as ordered.

Amazing tasty food, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Great service

Collected our great priced order from a really friendly guy who made sure it was the right order we were taking away. Nice, hot food: vegetable chow mein, duck with ginger, crispy and light vegetable spring rolls, and fortune cookies that were spot on!

Never had a bad experience from this take away. Always excellent

Food arrived an hour late and had an item missing from order. Some of the dishes were luke warm so had to heat in the oven and then the chow mein was ridiculously salty so it was hardly touched. Missing item was delivered almost an hour after the initial delivery but we'd finished eating by then so was now unwanted. First and last time ordering from here.

Great food, excellent delivery.

Excellent as usual, food superb, very big portions, hot and delicious. Very fast delivery and the driver very friendly, 10 out of 10!!

Fantastic meal as usual. Love the Crispy Shredded Chicken with Honey Chilli Sauce. Nice spicy kick. Their BBQ sauce is lovely too. Everything was grand. Loved it. This is why I always order from them. Cheers New Happy Palace.

Excellent as usual, very nice delivery driver.

Always had a great experience from this restaurant. Food is excellent

Shredded chicken in honey chilli sauce was nice. Good kick to it. All other dishes were great as usual. Cheers guys.

I used to live in the same building with them and ocassionaly i would buy some food. I was pretty happy with their food, nothing to complain about really.

Chicken fried rice & prawn toast was burnt they both had a charcoal taste. Lots of weird brown stuff in the rice which totally put me off giving the food to my daughter altogether. There was not 1 spare rib that wasn’t covered in fat it is disgusting. Tried to call back twice tonight regarding a refund for my order as I am appalled but both times i received no answer. I will be taking this further. I have took both pictures and videos.

Delicious food, hot and delivered on time

Excellent as usual, very quick and delicious. The delivery driver was very polite and professional. 5 Star plus.

They sent salt and pepper chips instead of chicken and the food was very cold, noodles were okay

Repeatedly good food. Occasionally it takes a little longer, and the noodles are too greasy for me (but lots of meat in them), but all other dishes Iv tried have been yum! My go-to take out

Outstanding, best Chinese I’ve had

We have been going here for years. I think the chef has changed or the whole establishment has changed hands as the food is now terrible. Terrible, as in, the worst Chinese I’ve ever had in my life. We received undercooked boiled rice instead of fried and the main courses were congealed, extremely salty and just inedible. It tasted as bad as it looked. Threw the lot in the bin. Such a waste. Avoid

Food was ordered at 7:40pm. At 9pm called restaurant to ask if food was on the way and I was told the driver left. 9:20pm the food arrives, said to driver it better be hot and he said it was as he just left. Clearly he didn’t. Food was Luke warm. Won’t waste my money again.

Had a bit of an issue with one of the items ordered but the restaurant handled it very well and dealt with it admirably. Food was great and would order again. 👍

Some of the was cold and food was not nice would not recommend

Thank you. Prawn toast was excellent.

Very poor attitude from delivery driver when he delivered the food

Food was very tasty and the service was outstanding thank you

Food was cold /look warm. Chips were stale and the chicken was far to chewy

Chow mein but not as usually served. Chunks of chicken and thick noodles with hardly any beansprouts etc. Wasn't keen on the sauce either.

Food outstanding. Little bit of a long wait but worth the wait baby. The bird spilt rice down the side of the cooker was the only bad thing about it. Cheers for a lovely scran!

I deliberately didn’t order any food with meat in it. I ordered some chips and instead was sent a box of chicken bits. Very disappointing.

Not nice at all sorry, absolutely tasteless and unfortunately went in the bin. 1st and last time using this place. Curry sauce luke warm and watery, chicken chow mein tasteless and overcooked, shredded beef and shredded chicken in honey chilli sauce was revolting. Very dissatisfied and let down badly.

Excellent as usual, best Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh by far.

Excellent quality, quantity and service

2nd order from Happy Palace, some different choices this time, still excellent.

I haven't received my food yet. I've been waiting over a hour. It says ''enjoy your food'' below the estimated delivery time, but our food hasn't arrived.

Food was amazing only thing let it down was too many onions in the curry.

1st time order, very pleased with quality. Delivery excellent

Simply a fantastic Chinese takeaway, after going here for years and it being great I think new owners have taken over and the food now is out of this world. I’ve never had a bad takeaway from this places. Customer for life.

Nice and hot and as delicious as usual, best Chinese in Edinburgh

My first time ordering from New Happy Palace and I will order from them again.The service was excellent and the food was very tasty thank you so much.

First I've tried it in years. Was average. Crispy beef was soggy. Wafer paper prawns small and greasy. Delivery driver is a real treasure. 😳

Sweet and sour chicken “standard” … should not be “chicken balls in batter”. Awful naming on your part. I would never have ordered chicken balls.

Ordered from this place once a couple months back and haven’t went anywhere since. Can’t give there food enough credit and I’m a fussy eater as it is. Keep up the good work team :)

Food is amazing But 2 hour wait a bit much .. won’t put me off tho

Hot, tasty, on time and a reasonable price. All good👍

Excellent food, very polite and efficient lady taking the orders. Best Chinese I have found, ordered twice in two weeks, both times were superb. Highly recommend. Delivery was efficient.

Poor quality of food ever !! starters,absolutely tasteless, main, chicken dish, so salty, was binned, very disappointed

Phoned and was told they were busy and driver had just left 2 mins before I finally got them on the phone, it doesn't take nearly 2 hours from placing order to eventual delivery for 3 meals! The takeaway is 5mins from the house, if I order again it'll be collection It wasn't delivered at 7:10, it arrived at 7:50!

The chicken rice had lots of pieces of pork mixed in withe rice,this is not what we ordered what would have happened if I was allergic to pork?

Food was cold chips were overcooked chicken curry had no taste

Excellent food and service. Full of flavour and meats were succulent , definitely call again :)

Theres clearly a new chef working as the difference in food quality from a few weeks ago is horrendous! Ordered veg spring rolls and what they sent was not a spring roll, no pastry it was covered in a thick batter (like what chicken balls come in) thick, spongy and so dry, no one would even guess it was meant to be a spring roll! Curry sauce was thick and gluey, chicken satay was dry and hard! Will not be back.

Inedible soggy lemon chicken and old chips, only thing we could eat were the soft noodles. Won't be ordering again.

Delicious pork and prawn dumplings, tasty sweet and sour cantonese.

The best Chinese delivery food. Tried it 2nd time to check it wasn’t a one-off. Delicious

The chicken was lovely, I ordered on the 20/08 and the sauce was gorgeous but this visit, not great, far to sweet tasting.

Good portion and still hot. Well cooked too.

Good food 👍🏻 Nearly two hours wait for the food …. 👎🏻

Ordered sweet & sour Cantonese style when the order came it just had a tub of s&s sauce. The rest of the order was there. I phoned and the dish was delivered quickly. However 3 adults didn't enjoy their food because of the quality of the chicken. Mine went in the bin. The 2 kids did really enjoy their meals though.

The worst Chinese I have ever had! I had chicken fried rice simple dish but when it came it smelled so bad I thought the chicken was off it was cheapest watery frozen chicken and had pink stuff that looked undercooked ham in it. Couldn’t manage more than a few spoonfuls of rice.it went straight in the bin.

Food tasted amazing and delivery drive was polite and friendly . Food came pipein hot was Great.
