China Town, 13 Newington Rd, EH9 1QR, Edinburgh

This USED to be our fav Edinburgh Chinese restaurant, but since our last visit the staff have changed and the service was somewhat lacking. We had prebooked a table, and although there was a large hen party in, our booking should not have been accepted if the staff could not cope - which was obviously the case. We opted for a set meal for 5 persons and it started well. When the mains arrived with rice, the rice was not served to us, we were left to get on with it. We had to wait 10 minutes to get the bill after asking, after having finished the meal some 15 minutes previous. Even though tea, coffee is included in the set menu, we were not offered this. I had to take the bill to the bar area to pay as the staff were too busy and mentioned not being offered tea or coffee to which the lady said she would bring some free of charge to us! She obviously didn't have a clue as mentioned before it was included in the set meal price! Not a very good impression and we doubt we will return again in the future. Shame, as in previous visits the staff were attentive and friendly and the service was impeccable.
