The food is always great as is the service. The atmosphere is slightly quirky but the rest more than makes up for it. One of our favourites

Super yummy!! I took my mother here last night for dinner, food was hot, fresh and delicious. We ordered the honey chilli chicken, vegetable chow mein and rice. Staff were attentive and not pushy. Definitely recommend.

First visit to this restaurant after a recommendation by friends Arrived without a reservation and the staff couldn’t have been nicer, needed table back in 1hr 20mins and that was fine because service was super quick Food was freshly cooked, hot and quite tasty although we weren’t overly impressed with the quality of the meat in the beef and black bean & the fillet steak Cantonese! Unfortunately I’ve had better many times so probably wouldn’t rush back. Nice enough but I do think there are better Chinese restaurants

We chose a food box each. It was ready when we collected at chosen time. The food was delicious, we were supplied with complimentary bag of prawn crackers with our 2 food boxes. Definitely recommend

I'm embarrassed and proud to say I have eaten here three times in the past 2 weeks. the 8 quid boxes are enough food for one. It's fresh, crispy and all the best things. 10/10 would recommend. Might end up there again next week

Nothing bad to say really. Very tasty. The place has a reputation of being a bit quirky but it seems to be only because of the name as the food, price and experience weren’t unusual at all. Just tasty Chinese food.

Excellent! This was the best meal we've had for a while. Nice small restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Service and food were outstanding. Reasonable price for the quality. We had Duck spring rolls and Char Sui Bao starters. The spring rolls were very good, but the bao really stole the show! Delicious! Our mains were the Duck original and the Duck Plum with egg fried rice. All were cooked perfectly and were delicious. Portions were exactly the right size too - we finished just when we were full but not over-full. We would recommend this place to anyone going to Edinburgh

We tried this because its near where we stayed. The food overall were ok. The duck wrap is the highlight of the meal, as well as the roast pork , pork ribs and prawn toast. Lemon chicken was ok, the fish and soup were not so much taste. Would come back for the duck though. Very fast serving too.

ordered take away from the kiosk in the entryway of the restaurant — very handy and even lets you pay with cash (you press a call button and someone on staff handles taking your cash payment). i was craving pork chow mein and this hit the spot! also the siu mai needs an honorable mention as it’s incredibly tasty! i’ll definitely be back.
