Food was not great, service was quick but not very friendly. Picked up food and the main restaurant looked okay but the pickup area looked quite dirty. Very expensive and not worth it.Vegetarian options: It does have a decent amount of options but food is not very good quality

Terrible food, could not even get sweet and sour chicken balls right, SZECHUAN beef totally made up recipe, will never go back

Like going back in time, run down and in need of attention - just 5 tables were occupied and 3 had issues. Nothing to keep the basic food warm, spare ribs came without a warm water finger bowl, asked and got a tiny bowl of stone cold water, had to chase drinks which had been forgotten (like the next table). Very pleasant staff but really have to watch what's going on in the restaurant - NOT a complicated thing to fix and should be sooo much better. An experience we will not revisit at this

Gave this place a try as was passing by and was hungry. It doesn't look the cleanest and the place was frozen. Food was OK nothing more nothing less.

We have used the kwei lin for around 10 years. We have always experienced very good customer service. The food has always been to a high standard and still hot upon quick delivery. However. This evening we ordered. Still fast delivery and hot. BUT the wrong items. We called the restaurant and got greeted by a very HOSTILE female. She would not help and if we wanted the order rectified we would have to pay for the replacement!. WE SHALL NOT BE USING THEM AGAIN.

One of three Chinese restaurants in the area, in my opinion it's the best one, BC (before covid) the restaurant was the best place for a meal with a loved one, the owners are extremely friendly and welcoming, if you are new to this restaurant I highly recommend the chicken curry and egg fried rice with peas, it is delicious and filling.
Barbecue sauce is perfect! I’ve not had a bad meal yet , Hot because delivery is always in good time .

Best chinese in the area. The curries are scrumptious and the staff are great too. Food tastes great and big portions for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

We ordered a takeaway for collection, customer service was fab and the food was ready within 15minutes. Since the orchid was taken over by new owners I haven’t been able to find a chinese in Midlothian that serves the same crispy shredded honey chilli chicken/beef! The dark colour with sesame seeds, sticky sauce with lots of honey and Garlic. I’ve come across Other places out with Midlothian but not ideal when you live here. We thought we’d order It and give it a try, also ordered chicken curry, boiled rice, salt and chilli chips and chow mien. The chow mien is greasy but really tasty. It looked great but once you start to tuck in you realise there’s more bean sprouts than noodles and that sort of ruins it for me personally. The chicken curry is pretty watered down flavour wise, not the best curry to be honest but it was okay. Salt and chilli chips were okay, tasted more of 5spice rather than that chilli and garlic taste I’ve had in most other places and there wasn’t the usual onions and chillis through them. Chips were crispy though which was nice! The rice is rice, done the job. And the crispy honey chilli shredded chicken was not crispy, it was soggy, large chunks so not shredded and tasted like a sweet and sour sauce which is like an orange red colour. The food was okay, I mean we ate it! But just nothing to write home about. The search for some decent crispy shredded honey chilli chicken continues.......
