Went here hoping we will enjoy a good Chinese food as it was recommended by our friend. Only to find out, it didn’t live to our standard. As someone who is Asian, this is not what I am expecting it to be. If only I knew it’s doesn’t taste good. I could have stayed home and cook Chinese dinner my self. It is also expensive. A salt and pepper squid cost £15.00 but I could only count the squid. It looks mouthful because of the crumbs but it’s only a few. Trust me. I think I only ate 5-7pcs of small slices of squid. Also, the egg fried rice is the worst fried rice I ever tried. It tastes bland. I couldn’t even see an egg on it. What a shame! Will not come back. Sorry and will not recommend. Thank you.

The food from here is the same high quality every time, absolutely dependable and delicious even for the simple things.Staff are polite and efficient.

There must be better Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh. The food was copious but bland. The ingredients were not of the best quality but at least the cost was low.

Just back from my lunch. I read some reviews and initially thought some people were very hard to please given the number of very good reviews written, the restaurant was established over 50 years ago, so clearly in my head, must have been doing something right!. However now fully understand where these dissatisfied customers are coming from. I eat often in restaurants -lunch and dinner, what can I say. This is probably the worst meal I've eaten, the worst service ever and given the restaurant has been here well over 50 years, quite shocked at the calibre of the food and service which was zero!. On entering the restaurant we bumped into a guy on the stairs, who we thought was a customer. . He mentioned he was going out for a cigarette, entering the restaurant we wondered if there was any staff at all, no welcome whatsoever . To our horror the guy on the stairs was the guy who served us, totally unprofessional, extremely casual and not smart at all to be a waiter. He never said a word or offered any service at all. No simple thank you or any word was uttered, basically the food was dumped on the table! The meal, absolutely awful and the not of the standard from many years ago, when I used to go to the Rendezvous. Totally disappointed as our lunch was for a special occasion. Do these restaurants learn anything from these reviews, I'm not so sure. The meal was overpriced and definitely not value for money at £14.99. We certainly won't be returning!

Last visited over 45 years ago and still fabulous. A bit more ambient lighting would be nice. Very bright but besieging deviated.

The welcome was weak; staff seemed down and disinterested though hardworking and fast serving. The food - prawn toast, chicken satay, Singapore noodles and fried bean curd in garlic, ginger and spring onion sauce were all very bland; very little hint of fresh ingredients, no chiles . The wooden screen next to us was thick with dust. The entry is dingy and dark. I know hospitality is suffering financially, but there’s no excuse for bland boring Chinese food.
Food is outstanding, best Chinese in Edinburgh!Service not the best this evening but wondering if they were short staffed. Normally much better....just a bit slow.

This hidden gem is still as fabulous as it was on a Sunday night before the Rutland and Busters back in the day! Chicken yellow bean still my favourite. The satay skewers, wafer paper prawns and king Szechuan prawns also delicious. Couple Tiger beers and sides and very reasonably priced. Was packed to capacity all of the Friday night with all ages and table sizes. Great food, great service 5 ?
