The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

El Sichuan House, situado en el casco antiguo de Edimburgo, ofrece una auténtica experiencia gastronómica china, especializada en cocina de Sichuan y Hunan. Durante nuestra visita, probamos el intestino de cerdo con pescado en chile seco, albóndigas y vientre tierno de cerdo. El intestino de cerdo con pescado en chile seco fue un plato destacado, que ofrece una mezcla armoniosa de texturas y un sabor robusto y picante característico de la cocina de Sichuan. El calor de las guindillas secas fue pronunciado pero equilibrado, por lo que es una elección encantadora para aquellos que aprecian los sabores atrevidos. Las albóndigas fueron preparadas por expertos, con envolturas delicadas que envolvían un relleno salado. Su frescura y sabor eran evidentes, reflejando el compromiso del restaurante con la calidad. El tierno vientre de cerdo era suculento y rico, mostrando un equilibrio perfecto de carne y grasa. En su elaboración se destacaron las técnicas tradicionales, dando como resultado un plato reconfortante e indulgente. El servicio en Sichuan House fue atento y amable, mejorando la experiencia gastronómica general. El personal estaba bien informado y dispuesto a ayudar con las selecciones de menú, asegurando una visita agradable. Para aquellos que buscan auténticos platos de Sichuan y Hunan en Edimburgo, Sichuan House es una opción encomiable. Su ubicación céntrica, precios razonables y dedicación a los sabores tradicionales lo convierten en un destino digno de mención para los entusiastas de la cocina china.

This restaurant was massively hyped on social media sites and we were looking forward to the dining experience. Unfortunately the food was bland and unappetising. It was also priced extortionately. Two soft drinks a starter and three mains was 86 pounds! Also did not like the waitress insisting that two mains was 'not enough' (it was) and the fact that there were four of them in such a tiny place. If you are a hipster and want to believe the 'Emperors New Cuisine' then go for it...

Fantastic Chinese carry out,with large portions,would definitely use again,and thourghly recommend. I had chicken currie x hot and it was superb.

Amazing, will definitely visit again. Lovely meat, lovely sauces and really helpful staff who helped us pich and helped us cook the food in the hotpot/on the grill.

Restaurant doesn't exist anymore unfortunately

Great option for anyone who needs to eat gluten free, as a coeliac I had a great meal and experience here. We were craving British Asian takeaway food and it definitely satisfied the craving! Service was friendly and quick.

Excellent first class food and service. Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh. Many thanks.

Bamboo has been our local Chinese of choice for the past 3 years now. Family who visit always rate it above the other ones in the area too, and trying to be as honest as possible with the review. We ordered takeaway this weekend with a variety of dishes, and sadly every single one of them had issues. Vege spring rolls - usually really tasty, these were overcooked and bland. Salt and Chilli chips - they are provided in a cardboard box, rather than the paper bag other things come in. As a result, even after a 5 min journey home they were completely soggy, and not remotely spicy. Prawn toast - Passable, again, a bit soggy from the issues with packaging. Special fried rice - Fish was really bland and the remaining meat was incredibly fatty - my wife ended up spitting it out. Noodles main was more of a special, given it had a random hair inside it. Overall, standards just seem to have completely dropped. Bland food, lacking in spice or flavour and definitely not fresh. Will be giving it a wide berth for the foreseeable future.

Horrible servicio, experiencia y comida! Tardé más de 2 horas en recibir orde y no me avisaron que estaba ocupado cuando llamé a top lace mi pedido. Cuando llegó la comida estaba fría, insípida y sosa, no lo recomiendo.

The food was delicious and the service was good. The waiting time and cash payment the one let them down.

Best Chinese takeaway in Edinburgh just order and try for yourself

Lots of food options, great for groups, quality ok not the best Chinese you'll ever have but tasty. I'd return for a celebration.

The waiters are very friendly! The pancakes and fruits are really delicious, very delicious, and the unexpected surprise is the vegetables, which is really unexpected! The xiaolongbao is also worth trying, it’s full of gravy! On the contrary, the salt and pepper chicken wings were a bit disappointing because they were quite dry! The coconut sponge cake also has an unexpected surprise. I didn’t expect that the effect of adding breast milk would be so good! While dining, I saw quite a few delivery people coming to pick up takeaways. I believe this restaurant has a certain appeal!

Char kuay teow was ok not great. It didn't have any wok hei taste. I never had CKT with chicken and squid and found the combination a little strange. The teh tarik had barely any tea taste and had to be redone. *Don't order the tea. Service was great and restaurant had a nice decor but when it comes down to it its all about the food and honestly it was a bit of a letdown.

Great place to have a chinese. Absolutely loads of choice, excellent value for money, superb staff & would definitely go again!
