Wing Sing Inn in Edinburgh, City of

Discovered this restaurant about 6 months ago. We have only ever ordered takeaway, but it is some of the best Chinese food in town. Don't think I've tried a single thing that wasn't delicious! Wouldn't go anywhere else. Only feedback would be to be careful selecting the 'vegetarian' dishes as some are made (as traditionally) with fish or meat elements...

The Chinese-style food was very delicious, the table was spacious, and the price was very reasonable.

You know you hear about those little spots that don't look much but the food is boss, this is one of them. Especially if you know your northern cuisine. Best Chinese food in Edinburgh and probably Scotland.

Ordered food for collection. Food was very good quality and was able to choose some more unusual dishes than more westernised Chinese restaurants. The main reason for the high score was customer service - the venue had unfortunately run out of a specific ingredient. They handled this very well by calling to communicate, offering alternatives and then ensuring ready for collection with rest of the order (despite short order time). Very nice friendly staff. Can't wait to return to eat-in.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Ordered our food but never got it. They rang to say they were outside but after looking around and walking around our building for 20 minutes there was no sign. We rang the restaurant and they put us on hold only to hang up on us a few moments later. We rang them back after another 20 minutes of looking for someone and they were nothing but rude on the phone. Eventually we organised to meet their driver somewhere else where he could find it easier. He said he would be there in a half an hour AFTER he finishes work and would ring us when he’s there. So we walked down to the Main Street 20 minutes early just incase he came before we got there. After 45 minutes waiting outside (it was now 10:30pm) we decided to ring his personal number he had given us to see where abouts he was. When he picked up he told us he had already been to the collection point 10 minutes before we had rang him but this isn’t true because we were there waiting for him. He said he had gone home and was calling us “idiots” and “morons” angrily. When we went onto the deliveroo app it was marked as delivered at 10.10pm but clearly it was not and he had never even attempted to deliver it as we were waiting there. Horrible customer service would never recommend to anyone

I should have read the feedbacks before placing the order. Food was delivered late, was barely warm and not even that good. What a waste of money! I feel cheated on.

Great food, you just need to know what to order, none of that English-Chinese takeaway bs. The mouthwatering chicken was delicious and the handmade dumplings were great. Chips were horrible though.

I made an order to Wing Sing Inn via Deliveroo at 17.51 on 10th Dec. I had no missed call or sign of delivery at 19.19 and I therefore called the restaurant. I was informed that the driver was on route to give me my Chinese food and will be there within half an hour. I called the restaurant again at 19.40 as it had not arrived. This time they said it should be with me in 20 minutes. I contacted Deliveroo at this stage via the live chat and they called the restaurant. They were told by the restaurant that the food was on route. I called the restaurant again at 20.34 to ask them about the order and to please check the order carefully. I was then told that they never received the order from Deliveroo at all. Unfortunately I never received this order or received any missed call from the restaurant about an attempted delivery. The order cost £36.49 and now Deliveroo won’t give me a refund because Wing Sing Inn told them that I received the order which is a complete lie. I feel like my money has been stolen. Very disappointed

I made the mistake of Googling local Chinese restaurants and this place got 4-5 stars BUT I should have noticed there were only 2 reviews (employees?). The fried rice was incredibly stodgy - the rice was sticking together and it had the consistency of porridge. The chicken & cashew nuts was incredibly over-salty to the point that I could not manage more than a couple of mouthfuls (despite me being really hungry). Please take my advice and don't waste your money on this place - I hate to be so negative but I feel on this occasion (a) I have to warn others and (b) the owner needs feedback to reconsider the quality of food.

Best chinese chief in edinburgh. And very delicious food highly recommend

I wasnt impressed at all with the food , food was not freshly cooked and seemed old dried out or severly overcooked or cooked twice or even reheated .

Food was terrible, noddles had the most offensive smell and were definitely off the rest of the order was terrible £30 straight in the bin

Delivery was just within time that was advised. Portion size OK. Main dishes were very generic and nothing special. Chicken was very rubbery and tasteless, I thought it was tofu initially! Duck dish did not taste like duck either.

(Updates) Well now that they seem to have more staff doing the delivery and I don't need to wait for that long anymore, I'm back to update the review. Btw I do love their roast duck. 作为广州人真的很想念烧鹅就是说，这里的烧鸭有那味儿了，所以一直在点。说着又饿了，好想吃烧鹅啊。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The foods are good, but the delivery service is horrible. I've ordered from here several times and the average waiting time (not the 'estimated arrival time', but the time I actually waited and starved) has always been 2+ hours. I mean seriously???

Great authentic food with friendly service. Would visit again!

Awesome food. Good location. Great salt pepper squid. Portions were good. Short walk back to our hotel. Lucky Edinburgh folk!!! My pics went up earlier not the review so re-posting here.

Very good, not a fancy setting or location, but very authentic and the food was tasty and creative. Have to recommend this place!

Ordered through Deliveroo and delivered by the restaurant. The food was late for an hour then never arrived.

Don't know why this restaurant has 4.5 Star rating. We travelled to Scotland for COP26, one day visited friends in Edinburgh who chose this restaurant based on its 4.5 rating.. it was anything but. where do I start; as we entered the restaurant, it had the feeling of a canteen with round tables. the air was very stale and smelly. But the prices were in fine dinning category. We go to similarly priced Chinese restaurants in the South of England with very pleasant atmosphere. Also noticed the chef / owner shouting at staff or perhaps family members from inside the kitchen. our order seems to be too much for them. Food was bland, the stale air and atmosphere didn't help. Staff didn't know what Gin and Tonic was. Some little element of training would have helped there. When it was time to pay the bill, they refused to take the card saying they didn't know how to use the card machine!!.. and asked us to get the cash from the machine outside. -should be quite the opposite in these pandemic times but not here. -perhaps cash doesn't show on the system and the card payment is harder to hide in the accounts. can't think of any other reason. Realising the situation we insisted to pay by card, only then they processed the card payment for us on credit card but still tried to not give us the receipt for the card payment claiming it belonged to them. what can I say.. We definitely don't recommend this place. they need to put a lot of things right to be worthy of even 3 stars.

2 hours for delivery. Contacted them multiple times and apparently its still on its way. Says delivered on the app. Good food, bad service. Not sure if I'm eating tonight

Great Chinese food to take away. I was very surprised how tasty it was. I will be going back there for more.

This place is horrible I didn't even eat any of it the ribs were just bone and burnt to death also the chicken balls were chicken nuggets it's not a normal Chinese defo to any body do not waste ur money u will be disappointed

Great reataurant, friendly service and delicious food ! We had black pepper beef - tender, well seasoned and served on sizzling plate, szechuan chicken (normally comes with bones but we prefer boneless meat) which was aromatic, savoury and spicy. On side we had fresh steamed rice and delicious homemade meat dumplings with tangy dipping sauce. As a desert, courtesy of the lovely chef and manager, we had banana fritters- super crispy coating and decent amount of honey. Will definitely be back for more. Thank you!

Very nice Chinese food. But food on the salty side.

Good ambiance.... with tasty yummy food

We had a wonderful meal with all the food amazing! Not one bit of glup to be found anywhere. Very authentic Chinese food. They were very happy to cook veggies that went on the menu. Delightful and helpful staff Thank you

What a place...its a gem just around the corner of Yeaman plc outside of Fountain Park. Delicious food and lovely owners there. Worth every penny ....if you are around this place is something you dont want to miss

try a vegetable dumplings, handmade, if you are my enemy (and just don't say I didn't warn you..)

10/10 highly recommend if you're looking for radioactive poisoning ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to. You won’t find chicken curry ok the menu but you will get incredible pork dishes and others such as the must - have beef in chilli oil. Would go here again anytime

Perfect, very Good and authentique

Our favourite authentic Chinese place in Scotland. If you go around tea time it is usually packed out with Chinese tourists or school trips which tells you all you need to know. Yungchow fried rice is best I've had anywhere. Fish dishes - super fresh - are best bet. Sea bass, razor clams, squid all outstanding. Great dumplings. Friendly & great value.

Small friendly place. Operates mostly as s take away, but does have 6 tables in a side room. But food great! Staff very helpful. Not too expensive. Would go again

If you want fresh, friendly & authentic, go here. If you want chips, rice & curry sauce, go elsewhere. We've been going here for years. The food, especially the seafood, is outstanding. Try the razor clams, steamed sea bass or salt n pepper squid then tell me they're not as good as you've had anywhere. Also, a decent sized bowl of yung chow fried rice for £3 - less than half of what most takeaways charge for an inferior version. Just go or you're missing out.

Wing sing definitely delivered in the taste stakes . Proper Chinese food the way it should be without a gloopy sauce or dodgy limp veg in sight . Definitely returning . I have been trying to find a Chinese restraunt the serves up the kind of food I fell in love with in China and this was by far the best in Edinburgh up til now ,It will be hard to beat .

Been a regular here for years & have always found it very friendly & super fresh tasty food. Last night we had steamed razor clams with glass vermicelli, fried pork & celery guotie dumplings, a beautiful steamed whole sea bass & just the best salt & pepper squid. Nowhere else comes close locally for this type of cuisine. Go.

Very tasty fish and tofu soup. Friendly staff. Strongly recommended. I really recommend its soup and Chinese leaf pot.

This is a great place to go to if you want to have anthentic Chinese food. Friendly staff and great food. Had a very enjoyable dinner there on Friday evening. I loved the Combo in Chilli sauce and Sichuan peppercorn which has always been my favorite. Highly recommend.

Great reception, service was top notch and thoroughly enjoyed a delicious meal at Wing Sing Inn.

态度服务非常好，非常热情，东西味道特别可口，特别是班腩煲，小孩子的最爱，每次来必点，强烈推荐。

Delicious food but the elderly woman taking our order was extremely ignorant and rude later on. I ordered a tripe soup, egg fried rice and a sizzling squid. Delicious! My mother only ordered the chicken noodles. When the food came, she gave my mom chicken fried rice and when she said she asked for chicken noodles, the lady started arguing and was adamant that my mom ordered the fried rice. First of all, my mom is not a fan of fried rice, secondly, I heard her ask for the noodles. After that issue, the elderly server started becoming obnoxious. Yes, we are not Chinese but does that give you the right to argue with us, especially when you are wrong? You need to improve on your communication skills! Absolutely pathetic. I urge locals, tourists and non-Chinese speakers alike to just order the food, CHECK if it's right and walk out of the door. The elderly server simply ruined our night with her arrogance.

I have been here 4years ago , the food was changed, not nice any more

Had a quick dinner here after a friend recommended it - was very impressed! Great food, well cooked, loads of flavour!

Traditional (which means there are some 'adventurous' choices on the menu) Chinese. Well worth a visit or three.

A very nice Chinese Restaurant. Not your normal takeaway Chinese food.

Granted, food is authentic and tasty, but not very fresh, AND they were dishonest with the bill. Last night they over charged us about 2 pounds more per dish, and when I discovered the price doesn't add up, they quickly changed the story that they have a different price with sitting in versus take out price. This is rubbish and untrue. I was planning to return to this restaurant for some take out before leaving town, but because of their dishonest ways, I am very offended and feeling upset by their despicable practice of taking advantage of travellers.

My family and grabbed some takeaway from here after a long day exploring Edinburgh. It was perfect to just settle into our Airbnb with some Chinese food. We got some sweetcorn soup, beef noodles, and Kung Pao chicken. The chicken was very good, incredibly tender and had the right amount of spice flavor. What it was lacking to me was vegetables, which is what I am used to. It was an excellent interpretation of the dish and skillfully cooked, don’t get me wrong, but one reason I often order Kung Pao chicken back home is you also get some veggies and is a more balanced meal. I guess that is how they do it here, but I like still Chinese vegetables.

If you look for authentic chinese food, look no further. Absolutely love it and eat there almost weekly for lunch!

loved the authentic food... nothing run of the mill about this place... value for money was outstanding... the portion sizes just for a starter were more than generous

We work at the tattoo shop next door, definitely worth eating from... ❤️❤️❤️

the food is really good but the service is pretty bad. The lady was my unfriendly and unpleasant

Excellent Chinese food - it might not look like much but everything we ordered was delicious. We were a big group and shared 15 or so dishes - all of which were great. Very helpful staff too - able to alter dishes to suit various people's needs. Highly recommended.

The most authentic Chinese food I have tasted since I lived in Hong Kong many years ago. Its the real thing, some of the menu perhaps not to European taste. But hey, try it, you might like it? Reasonable prices, and Tsing Tao beer.

Get in before the coach tours or menu will be wiped out. Only freshest seafood.served. eg. Razorclams mussels Never been to China but judging by the number of happy people eating here who have, reckon this is as authentic as you'll get in Scotland.

Just found this basic restaurant with wonderful Northern Chinese food. All or dishes were delicious and we will be back!

Good foods and very reasonable prices

Some of the best value Chinese food I had in the UK (especially comparing to London, where I live). Good portion and authentic cuisine with a taste of home! Occasionally dishes fall under average (I didn't like the fried rice I had) but in general it's a great place to go.

Y decidí probarlo. Lugar parece un poco viejo y anticuado, pero por lo demás bien. A la llegada, nos ofrecieron té chino, el cual resultó ser frías y me cobraron. Menú interesante y contenía un montón de cosas que normalmente no vemos en el REINO UNIDO, pero le faltaba empezar. Que no estábamos demasiado aventureros, tener sólo calamar y platos de cerdo, que eran sabrosos. El servicio estaba bien, pero parecía que estaba empezando y encontrar sus pies, aunque también parecía estar bien establecido. Lo que parecía un autobús cargado de turistas chinos llegaron mientras estábamos allí, que debe ser una buena señal. El precio estaba bien: £25 por dos platos principales arroz, 2 + 1 + 1 tés cerveza. Lo intentaría de nuevo.

Aunque la mayoría de los restaurantes chinos de ultramar no son bastante satisfactorio, Ala cantar Inn nos proporcionan muy deliciosamente comida y lleno de entusiasmo. Me gustaría recomendar "sopa caliente y amarga", que debe ser la mejor que he bebido en la U. K. puedes encontrar real comida picante.

Average Chinese food, some dishes are fine, some are not - salted egg yolk squid is to be avoided. Reservation is recommended, walked in really early at 11ish and they had only one last table. Surprisingly there is actually a crowd here, guess you can't expect much in Edinburgh.

Authentic down to earth Chinese food. Big portions, big flavours.

He ido ala vuelta a cantar regularmente a lo largo de los años, pero yo estaba muy decepcionado por mi reciente visita. Unos platos que he tenido varias veces antes eran realmente vinegary y desagradable. Quizás sólo un mal día. Le demos otra oportunidad esperando la comida vuelve a buenos niveles de antaño.

Como un chino diría que no todos los platos son auténticos, pero que está bien para comer aquí como algunos de los platos resultaron ser deliciosas alubias largo, carne con cebolla de primavera y jengibre. No me gusto como col lo que debería ser, pero era comestible.

I come here all the time for my Chinese fix in Edinburgh and I bring anyone visiting that fancied some Chinese food. The dishes are more leaning towards authentic than other places in Edinburgh. The roast duck is a big highlight (definitely order it on the bone) though they often run out, do get in quick. Often see large groups of Chinese tourists here.

Si eres exigente con la comida china y prefiere el auténtico al que ha sido adaptado gloop en el REINO UNIDO para los gustos occidentales, entonces usted puede encontrar un viaje a Escocia un ensayo pequeño. No en el ala del Cantar Inn no te - comida deliciosa de medusas a los cerdos a cabeza interiores sopa de pescado. Excelentemente preparado con personal muy amable. Sin duda el mejor con diferencia en Edimburgo y probablemente Escocia.

Buscando un lugar cerca de nuestro alojamiento nos encontramos con este. Top revisión recomendado así que decidí probarlo. Que estábamos cenando tarde y las únicas personas en el restaurante, pero eso no cambia - estaban abiertos. Menú es increíble - algunas recetas tradicionales chinas (presumiblemente medusas!) junto con los viejos favoritos. Fuimos bastante tradicional y no nos decepcionó. Si estás en el barrio pruébalo. El personal es encantador.

Nos recomendó ir allí con un amigo que vive en Edimburgo. El exterior parece muy impresionante, el interior menos, estábamos en la parte consistente en una barra, una zona de descanso para los clientes para llevar, y dos mesas.

Me encantó este pequeño y raro lugar. Ojalá hubiera sabido que años atrás. No es elegante, no comer bien, no un servicio. Pero funciona... porque la comida es excelente. El menú es extraño, su presupuesto de marketing claramente bajo, pero ir a... dar algo extraño. Usted estará encantado. Este no es el lugar para un curry de pollo y patatas fritas o una pelota frito dulce y agria de algo. Es buena comida genuina. Cuando está listo, así que quizás no todos llegan al mismo tiempo. Enormes porciones demasiado. Volveremos.

Beef with potatoes in 5 spice. Salt & pepper squid. Fried guotie dumplings. Razor clams with glass vermicelli & ginger & garlic. All wonderfully fresh & cooked to perfection. A cut above the rest.

No es un restaurante chino típico, que sin duda están especializados en un determinado tipo de cocina china, creo que posiblemente Northern?

Fabulous, authentic cuisine, terrific atmosphere in unassuming premises. Coach load of Chinese tourists arrived as we were there confirming the quality. Lovely hospitality.

Heard great things about this restaurant but very disappointed. The chicken we ordered version of general tso chicken and it came as little fried chicken nugs with chili flakes and solid pepper thrown onto the dish. The dumplings fell apart as soon as we tried to pick them up. The fried rice seemed like it was microwavable quick rice with shrimp and a sliver of egg. To top it off we found a HAIR in the hot sour soup. Never go here. Also the waitress stares at you the whole time while you eat.

An unassuming restaurant serving truly authentic Chinese food, Wing Sing Inn, is a pleasure to dine in. The feeling is one of eating in the home of your host and the food is made to be shared, larger groups are seated at round tables with a 'Lazy Susan' to make this possible.The menu is available in English and Chinese, is grouped in logical if not always accurate sections e.g. the wonderful green beans with pork is in the vegetables section as it is 90% vegetables, so beware vegetarians. The food they make can be seen in many Chinese menus, but the standard and flavours are amazing, dumplings are clearly hand-rolled and so flavoursome, ribs are available in simply to complex sauces depending on your taste, seafood is ordered on availability and not whatever is in the freezer, soups are available in individual or family sizes. All in all, you WILL over-order and you WILL finish every bit! The place is clearly well respected by the Chinese community in Edinburgh as it is often full to capacity with families or arriving bus loads of Chinese tourists, who leave looking so happy! Therefore booking is essential. Enjoy, I always do!

Authentic, non Brit biased Chinese food. Big portions and tasty. Congee - a kind of soupy savoury rice porridge - a particular favourite. Enjoy!

Got the Singapore rice noodle which was 90% noodle with a little bit of meat, prawn and veg mix not happy.. Wife got mixed vegetable chow main which only consisted of peppers and thread size noodles.. Spring rolls were great though. Go to Pan Asia round the corner 'much better' and better value for money.

I've visited this restaurant many times over the years and always had a good meal. Basic decor and quite a unique menu. It may not appeal to everyone but some of the dishes are fantastic. Spicy Crab, Pan fried 1/2 Duck, Kung Po Chicken, Goutie Dumpling, Salt & Pepper Squid, Peppered Beef etc. I haven't been brave enough though to try the jellyfish, lungs, fish heads and other diverse dishes. Dishes come as they are ready (sometimes the rice is last) and are always hot unlike some of the tepid offerings at other establishments. Hot Pot is offered as well.Not sure they do desserts as I've never been offered one!Service good and cost excellent. Very good value and you can BYOB for a small corkage charge.The restaurant doesn't have a website or facebook account it just survives on drop ins, word of mouth and lots of Chinese patrons!

Good Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh. The food was authentic and very tasty. They were able to handle small groups at a single table; we had six people around the traditional circular table. They meal was enjoyed by people new to Chinese dishes and by those very familiar with them. It was a nice atmosphere and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Really great food which is reasonably priced. I have been a few times and will be going back next week.

For authenticity, for freshness of ingredients, especially fish & seafood, for friendly service & chefs who care about what they are doing, there is no better Chinese food available in Scotland. This is not an opinion - it's a fact!:) Just go. then you will know.

By far the most authentic chinese dining experience I have had in Edinburgh. I travel a lot to china and could easily have forgotten I was back in the uk! This is the real deal in terms of chinese cuisine and the service is simply excellent. Highly recommend the spicy pork lung - be adventurous and try it! All 12 dishes we ordered were very fantastic. Already planning my next visit!

I absolutely love this restaurant, all the food is delicious, not the westernised rubbish you get in most Chinese places.

Delicious Chinese food, top quality every time at a good price. Really friendly staff also.

This is a restaurant where it's all about the food. The menu may have a few spelling mistakes, some of the food isn't what you'd find on other restaurants menus and that's its appeal. They still do mainstream food but hey why not try something different?The staff are very welcoming, food to table time is about 15 mins and service is good. The decor isn't amazing but as I say this restaurant is all about the food. Go now, you won't regret it!

The food here is great authentic northern Chinese food. So the food is a lot spicier than one would expect at restaurants serving food for a local palette. The atmosphere is basic but the food more than makes up for it. Lots to try if you are adventurous. The golden fried crab, steamed pork joint, green beans and steamed sea bass as some recommendations. Its byob although they do have a limited selection of drinks.

On approaching, a busload of satisfied Chinese tourists were just leaving - if that doesn't tell you 2 things - the food is authentic & very good - then I don't know what does. If your idea idea of Chinese food is lemon chicken & chips, rice & cury sauce, then go to your local takeaway. We've been going here for years now & the standard never drops below outstanding. Friendly service & great chefs, turning out excellent dishes, amongst our favourites are the fried guotie dumplings, salt & pepper squid, stewed beef & potatoes, razor clams with glass vermicelli noodles, chili, ginger, black bean. If there is better Chinese & Szechuan food in the UK, then I have yet to discover it. Brilliant place. I hope they never retire.;)) Oh & very good value compared to the lesser & pricier 'upmarket' westernised Chinese places in the city centres. Go & find out for yourself.

In my opinion one of the best Chinese meals in town ! Great menu, traditional food . Service is really good too. We've been in when it's really busy, but last night it was quiet, but the food is ALWAYS excellent. Flavours are spot on, and portion size is good. Surroundings are sparse but who cares ! My only small criticism is the huge difference between the take away and sit in price . Won't stop me going though .

Beef oil sichuan style soup... HOOOOOT but delicious:) Chinese dumplings, gelly fish salat... brilliat! Friendly stuff and very good price:)... Not to much space then sometimes its good to make reservation. A place known and popular among the Chinese tour.

We lived several years in China and love chinese food. We stayed around the corner from this restaurant so used to opportunity to taste what is claimed by some people to be the best chinese restaurant in Edinburgh. We took our food as take away. We had choice of vegetables (including the egg plant dish) and salt and pepper squid and chicken kung pao. The chicken was below average. The squid was lovely, so were the other dishes. Loved the green beens, but somehow missed the minced port that it was supposed to have. Overal nice food but not impressive and for take away it was more expensive than the other chinese restaurants. So if I was in the neigborhood I would give it another try but wouldn´t go out of my way to eat here.

Diner/family style Chinese food. Don't expect fine dining or "westernised" dishes you'd expect at a takeaway.Seafood was delicious and plentiful. Can't fault the place.Not for those who shy away from bones, unusual cuts of meat, etc....

A busy, busy Chinese restaurant, this is about as far from your Chinese buffet, lemon chicken experience as you'll find in Edinburgh. Serving uncompromising Northern Chinese dishes from Shandong there are some challenging dishes such as pig lung (better than it sounds) but the pork dumplings are just superb, moist and packed with flavour. The downsides are the popularity of this place with busloads of Chinese tourists can make it hard to get a table and it can be VERY loud

Their Ma po dofu is the best in Edinburgh. All meals are Large potions and good prices. They serve real Chinese food as my Chinese friends recommended me. Very busy with Asian customers and that means good to visit if you wanna tast real one.

A great place to find more traditional dishes the frogs legs and pork lung were favourites on this visit, can't wait to return and sample more of the menu.

Cafe style chinese restaurant with good quality food. Situated close to Fountainbridge Leisure complex. Staff efficient and prices good

I've got to admit to a weak spot for Chinese takeaway. It's always the first choice for me. Now this is my first choice Chinese food in Edinburgh. Having been to China on holiday twice, I think this is as close as you can get to authentic Chinese food. Don't expect a chicken, cashew nuts and bamboo shoots. Go for the beef, peppers and black pepper sauce or the beef pot with potatoes. Also a good wun-tun soup and I've heard the duck is really excellent so will be trying that soon. Oh and the pork with French beans is good too. The best sign that you should go to this place is that bus loads of Chinese tourists are taken here for their dinner (obviously on package tours - there's often a bus of Chinese tourists pulls up right outside and then the place is so full you can't get a table or have to wait a bit longer for takeaway - but it's worth it). If you want a chuckle, turn to the last page of the menu which offers Chinese food for Western tastes, but please don't waste your time or tastebuds ordering from that section!

I've never written a review for Wing Sing before, but I thought it was about time I did. I've been coming here regularly for over 3 years and I can honestly say it is EASILY the best Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh.Don't come here if you are expecting the usual tasteless 'British' style Chinese/Oriental standards. This is traditional, authentic Chinese cooking with flavours and spices that will surprise you from the first mouthful.There are a few 'interesting' options on the vast and varied menu, but there is plenty there for even the fussiest eater!My favourites are...- Yu-hung aubergine (amazing)- Salt and pepper squid- Yellow bean chicken- Spicy Szechuan chicken (off the bone)- Pan fried dumplingsetc etc etc. There are LOADS of good ones!Anyway, come here, order loads - each dish is only £7-8ish - and just try something different! You won't be disappointed!

Great, fresh tasting, authentic proper Chinese food in generous portions. Been going here for years, Never been disappointed. Salt n pepper squid is amazing. Razor clams with ginger & black bean with glass vermicelli noodles. Different class. Full of Chinese people - says it all really. Not 'Jimmy Chungs' so if you want industrial platefuls of gloopy fodder, go there instead. If you want a real Chinese experience, go here.

My party of 5 had a very reasonably priced and tasty meal tonight but it was spoiled by an attempt to charge £28 per bottle for the house wine - an ordinary 2012 french red which would be no more than £6 in any supermarket.after much heated discussion the price was reduced but the experience was spoiled by this attempt to rip us off - and the wine was still sunstantially overpriced even by Edinburgh standards.

Pros:- tasty- authentic (coming from a mainland Chinese!)- great value for moneyCons:- large Chinese tour groups eat here so it can be a bit loud and messy but everything seems fairly clean- don't go there expecting some fine dining atmosphereConclusion:- highly recommended if you'd like great authentic Chinese food and not just your average sweet n sour pork, beef in black bean sauce- we had the hot n spicy crab (tasty but messy to eat), dumplings, fish fragrant pork and Chinese bok choy with mushroom, all were really good

We ate at at the Wing Sing on a Saturday (date) night as it's not far from us and my OH had a really good meal here a couple of years ago. It's been on the list and finally tonight we got round to it.Oh boy, am I glad we did.The menu is really helpful - with the Cantonese (?) translated into English in an amazing fashion - flogs legs being my favourite and photographs there to help us along.Whilst the environment may lack some atmosphere, the food is very good. Flavours and textures about with the holy trilogy of garlic, onion and ginger evident in every dish to varying degrees. The chilli is there in different degrees so have the chinese tea on standby - it really helps.Highly recommended.

Best authentic Chinese food I've ever had in a restaurant! You know you are eating in the right place when you are severely outnumbered by Chinese people eating in a Chinese restaurant. They even made food for my mother that was not on the menu. I wish I had a place like this close to my house!!!
