Best Chinese I've had anywhere for a while, and definitely the best in Edinburgh. Quick service and the sweet and sour chicken is a favourite.

This place is a notch above the rest. The shredded chilli chicken in ginger is fresh, succulent and zingy compared to the MSG soaked sludge you'll get elsewhere.

Consistently the best, tastiest and healthiest Chinese I've ever found in the UK - wouldn't even consider going somewhere else now.

Finally found a great Chinese takeaway near where we live. Lovely food. Would not go anywhere else now.

I only ever order fish or vegetarian dishes but based on that I can say the food is always great. Fast delivery, the food is always piping hot and tastes great. The staff are friendly and very professional. I've tried other Chinese takeaways but I always come back to this one it's my favourite.

Really good food, been here the last 4-5 times as it's much better than all the other Chinese takeaways. The only negative is the card machine has not been working for a while, so needed cash on delivery. Going to order now, hopefully it is working now!

One of the better chinese takeaways in Edinburgh. Very tasty food and not too full of MSG. Reccommend the barbecue pork and the crispy duck. Also, quick delivery and reasonable cost. Plus you get a nice house-shaped box for your food. Handy.

Well to be completely honest I had a takeaway last night and in all honesty the quality was poor - the chicken was chewy and tough in bits, the sauce was bland and tasteless. As for the chips I could have bounced them off the walls and the portion of chips was smaller than the Happy Meal ones from Maccy D's. The rice was unseasoned and hardly fried - more coated in oil than anything else. It doesn't compare to other restaurants we've tried (tried a different one each time). I'd recommend the Green Kitchen in Stockbridge or even the Ginger Express. This is obviously my opinion on what I had. I won't be trying again - once was enough.

Never phoned anywhere else after trying this place. Everything perfectly cooked, including sirloin steak (never heard of at chinese), fantastic service, well spoken staff. Just perfect.
