The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Sensational flavours and professional, warm, efficient service. I shall tell many others. I shall return again and again!

I almost want to gatekeep this place but it wouldn’t be fair! It is so delicious, reasonably priced and the staff are lovely. Highly recommended.

Incredible authentic Chinese food at an amazing price. So glad that Chop Chop have been able to bring their amazing food back after closing their restaurant a few years ago. Highly recommend the unlimited banquet to enjoy all their delicious dishes.

I visited this lovely cozy Hong Kong style Cafe with my friend. It has very good and friendly atmosphere and reasonably prices of the meals . I had very tasty Beef curry with rice and the best was French Toast! I recommend this lovely Cafe everyone who likes Chinese/ Hong Kong’s cuisine!

We stumbled across this place whilst trying to find somewhere to eat on a Saturday night. They had one last table and we dived in. The owner was so so welcoming and super helpful, recommending what to try and explaining how the menu worked. We’ve done countless Chinese/Japanese/Korean BBQs but never one combined with a hot pot. Fabulous food! Lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely come back next time we’re in Edinburgh

The freshest Indian food prepared and delivered super fast by a really friendly bunch of people. I’m definitely a regular for a reason! Great value too.

It’s so delicious. I want to go back to China.

Shawarma platters are good for 2 people actually 😋 delish n fresh! Ambiance is absolutely stunning they've done it up beautifully aesthetics ✨️ 10/10

We have just had a 3 generation dinner and it was excellent. The staff were laid back but also attentive. The food was fresh and full of flavour. We particularly loved the Hong Kong style dishes. Great value and we are looking forward to coming back

Dumplings were clearly so fresh! Also recommend the milk bars

Really nice Chinese food..does exactly what you would want it to do..

The noodles were excellent thick and chewy. The braised beef brisket was full of flavour, tender and bitey. The broth was very flavourful. It retained clear nourishing quality. If you look for a freshly- made beef noodle soup in Edinburgh, look no further. It is a place you simply must try.

If the restaurant actually existed, it may have been the best ever place we’ve eaten at. As it turns out Shangri La is probably an apt name for a restaurant which is imaginary. Unfortunately we walked for about a mile and half to discover its been repurposed as a shop.

Vicino alla stazione di Haymarket. Bisogna prenotare. Locale piccolo, frequentato da pochi turisti e da molti cinesi. Servizio rapido e cortese. Tavoli con piastra riscaldata al centro. Abbiamo preso carne, pesce e vedure, da immergere in una pignatta a 2 scomparti (altri tavoli avevano pignatte da 3). Nel nostro caso i brodi (molto caldi), erano uno piccante (moltissimo per me) e l'altro no. Dopo 4/5 minuti, mangiato il contenuto dei brodi siffatti, ripassandolo in una ciotola di salsa con ingredienti da combinare a piacimento. Alla fine immerso nei brodi i noodles secchi, mangiati a sazietà. A parte il piccante, mi è piaciuto molto, ci ritornerei. L'unico inconveniente è stato il pagamento in cash.

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!
