Unfortunately a large party behind us were exceptionally loud at times. Not the fault of the restaurant and they were celebrating a birthday so no complaints.

Food was as always excellent, and friendly staff, value for money, but they seriously need to think about a repaint/refurbishment, looks dated and there are more modern alternatives now, to keep them competitive they need to up their game, we have dined there for years and nothing has changed to the customers environment.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The restaurant decor was basic, not too fancy but with a feeling that the quality of the food was the priority. A very enjoyable experience.

Staff are always friendly and attentive. Starters included Barbacued Spare Ribs, Prawn Toast and Shredded salt & pepper chicken . Then we had a half crispy Aromatic Duck followed by Crispy Chilli Beef, Lamb with ginger and spring onion and Cantonese style sweet & sour chicken. All dishes were served piping hot and were delicious. Dessert is my favourite course and consisted of “To Die For” Salted Caramel Profiteroles, and Toffee Apples with Ice Cream. All accompanied by a lovely bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. It’s no wonder we are frequent visitors to this charming restaurant.

Great food and service as always but tables for two in very close proximity to next hence we had to endure a barrage of conversation coming from the neighbouring table incuding some unpalatable foul language. A better screen separator would solve.

Food and service was pretty good but the squid was pretty awful! Not worth the extra £2 on festive menu as was tiny, watery, bland and not great. Enjoyed everything else though portions a bit small ! Waitresses lovely.

Another excellent meal (as always). Go for a banquet - saves arguments, plenty choice, make sure it includes shredded duck pancakes! 6 to 10 on a round table with a lazy Susan- what's not to like.

An Amazing Restaurant in Edinburgh. Food quality - Amazing as ever. Atmosphere- ambient and relaxing Timing of service - perfect, plenty time between meals, as they asked how long we wanted between courses, love that. Price - very reasonable. Staff - professional, courteous and happy. thank you for a lovely experience.
