The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Edinburgh and Lothian

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.

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

La comida india más fresca preparada y entregada súper rápido por un grupo muy amable de personas. ¡Definitivamente soy un habitual por una razón! Gran valor también.

Please go to this restaurant. Small, family run, the food was to die for. The coconut duck and chocolate traditional dessert not to be missed. We will all be back.

Excelente comida china auténtica, tuvimos Char Sui, huevo y arroz hervido. me recuerda el tipo de comida que solía tener en Hong Kong.

I highly suspect that I got food poisoning from eating at this place. Have been feeling unwell since eating there on Sunday and still not recovered on Tuesday, and now having to see a doctor. A piece of chicken I had tasted sour and stinked, which was in the whole pot of food and that I didn't realise it going bad until I had half of it. Asked the staff but they said that they aren't sure either. Also to mention, the food is calculated by weight, but they seem to include the weight of the container that you put the food in and the packaging of the food into the weight. I think it is quite expensive, it was almost £30 per person almost getting a few things. We also weren't allowed to order from the set menu too without explanation. In terms of atmosphere, there are no opened windows so it is quite stuffed and not much fresh air, we got pretty hot and sweaty when eating the food.

Staff and atmosphere were lovely, food was underwhelming and not worth the price... I had three appetizers for nearly 40£

Excellent variety, quality and service

Super adresse, beaucoup de choix variés, on sent que les nouilles sont faites maison et elles sont excellentes. On s'est régalé avec les soupes de nouilles et les prix sont plus que corrects comparés au reste d'edinburgh. Je recommande vivement

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.

Without a doubt the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. Apart from the host, everything was awful about the place. Our waiter was curt, hurried and rude. The food timing was appalling. The food itself was tasteless at best and offensive at worst (the duck rice and beef were hideous). This place is quite frankly a rip-off joint. If people want nice instagram photos, I recommend Harvey Nics, and not some lousy Chinese gaff with paper blossom and naff cocktails overflowing with smoke, but not alcohol.

Mi parter y yo visitamos después de ver las grandes críticas. ¡No nos decepcionaron! Cada elemento en el menú era fantástico. Tuvimos las ollas calientes picantes y calientes y nos quedamos muy impresionados. Las rodajas de carne de res y cerdo eran frescas y sabrosas y a mi pareja le encantaron las opciones de mariscos también. ¡Asegúrate de tener un poco de tofu frito para agregar a tu olla! También tuvimos demasiadas albóndigas. Simplemente delicioso.

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.

Best sweet and sour pork I’ve ever had. Slight mix up with the order number, totally my fault, many thanks for sorting it out. The food was incredible, very glad I waited!
