The best restaurants serving Asian food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Four of us were absolutely blown away by Lucky Yu this evening. Not one plate we were served lacked anything! Everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely packed with flavour. Service was friendly, helpful and really attentive with water being filled across the evening and constant checks on the table. I’ve given 5 stars but have two small negatives to mention. Firstly, the cocktail we tried was £10.50 which came with a big cube of ice, we pulled the ice out to find lucky if there was 50ml of liquid in the glass… I wasn’t overly impressed. Secondly, I thought some of the prices were quite steep? Yes the food was delicious, but for example the prawn bao bun was £9.50 for one, this seemed quite a lot to me. These are just wee things though. The food, service and atmosphere was fantastic. I think it speaks volumes the restaurant opens at 5pm and it was full by 5:15pm! Thoroughly enjoyed it, would definitely return.

Lovely atmosphere, service was friendly and attentive, and most importantly I ate the best Vietnamese food I never experienced in Scotland.

This place simply does not disappoint. Whether it is the speedy and friendly service or the beautifully laid out food that fulfills all your cravings, you must visit this place. There are a lot of vegan restaurants that boast being great, yet they lack the key ingredient: simply great food, without anything extra. For a vegan restaurant, I look for comforting flavours that deliver and make me and my tummy happy. I have finally found a place I can openly recommend to everyone. Reasonable prices, great services, friendly atmosphere and food you can actually be happy with. I need to go back here, asap. You should too.

Best Chicken Pakora we have ever tried!

Another fantastic meal with great service Always busy and they had to turn a few people away so definitely recommend booking We had 3 starters, 3 mains, 2 desserts and some drinks

Small, very busy restaurant with fantastic service, the food wasn’t quite what I was expecting, perhaps I ordered the wrong thing but I just didn’t find it that authentic. The tempura prawns were definitely more panko and the Thai curry sauce was very thick and clawing, I ordered with medium rare steak but unfortunately it arrived more rare and unrested resulting in the bloody juices leaking into the coconut cream sauce which just looked very unpleasant. On a positive the crab dumplings (I think that’s what they were) were really tasty and again the staff were all really friendly.

All of the staff had immediate knowledge of what was included in each dish, and the dietary requirements they were suitable for. They were very polite! Nothing was too much trouble

unfortunately you never gave me the spiced onions I ordered Don't deliver now please refund

I had a sea food tofu soup with rice, which was really nice👌

recommend!! Delicious, good, not too expensive, each dish is very filling.

The restaurant's tagline says quick, healthy and delicious and I think those are the exact same words I would use to describe the food!

Kimchi jjigae was unique and Food was delicious. Lovely and friendly lady. Mom really enjoyed talking to her. Keep up the good work 👍👍

Can't fault it! It's been my local and now the restaurant I travel to - it's that good!

Ordered chicken pakora but was deffo wasn’t chicken pakora that arrived.

I strongly recommend sundubu jjigae. Whatever you order, I'm sure you'll be able to taste amazing real Korean food. This restaurant is the best place I've been to since I've lived in UK. I went because I had a bad cold and wanted to eat warm Korean food. The soft tofu stew and side dishes were all excellent, and the owner was really friendly! They brought me things that are good for colds, and the day was very cold, but I received the warm warmth of Korea here and was warm for a little while😊
