  “After researching food spots to try in Edinburgh, I came across this lovely restaurant on social media and I’m so glad I found it. There was plenty of seating inside, and the staff were pleasant and welcoming throughout our visit. They’re well known for their dim sum, and it certainly lived up to expectations. We also enjoyed the tofu and pork dishes, which were equally delicious. The restaurant was filled with Chinese diners, which added to the feeling of authenticity and made the experience even more special.”

  “Came here specifically for some Cantonese Dim Sum. The steamed dishes were impressive and served at a perfect temperature. The Cheung Fun were a bit average. Also, quite surprised that they charge for plain hot water.”

  “Really enjoyed the cheung fun and the char siu puff. Both were fresh, flavourful, and nicely prepared. Definitely a good place for Cantonese dim sum.”

  “Best experience we had so far in a Chinese Restaurant. They were so welcoming and helpful. The portions were huge and they gave us a free starter. They packed us the left overs for us. They were so genuinely friendly and helpful. We were really impressed and definitely recommend them. ❤️”

  “Came here on a Saturday and we were glad we booked a table in advance. It was very busy and bustling. The food was absolutely delicious. A personal favourite of mine is their Beef Ho Fun - tender beef with wide rice noodles stir fried together. I've had it twice here and they are consistently very tasty. If you want generous portions and consistently high quality food (especially their seafood) then it's worth a visit.”

  “I found this restaurant in Edinburgh by chance, due the bad wheater when looking for choices to eat nearby. For us it was a pleasant surprise. Clean establishment being open for more than a decade. Prices are as everywhere in Edinburgh, very ''spicy" but average per total. We ended paying £100 for a dinner for 3, including 3 beers a juice, a coffee and a pot of jasmine Chinese Tea. The guality of food it is at the very high end. The only downside it is that there it is a hidden fee when you'll found on the bill. If you are not look will end to pay 10% more that you ordered. Personaly I did intended to let a generous tip without to look at the total but then I observed the small letter at the end of the bill. I personally believe that this practice to charge 10% of the order, should be advert at the top of their menu, including on their website, make you aware before you choose to visit or not. For only that I gave them 4 stars for services. I would highly recommend the shredded beef with Shenzhen sauce and noodles. The way how is cooked it's heavenly. I will definitely go again.”

  “As someone who grew up in Guangdong, I can say this is one of the most authentic Cantonese dim sum experiences I’ve had in the UK. The selection is great — from silky smooth cheung fun to flavorful siu mai, tender chicken feet, steamed beef tripe, and classic char siu bao. Everything we ordered tasted just like home. It’s hard to find dim sum abroad that hits the mark, but this place absolutely does. Prices are reasonable (around £20–£30 per person depending on how much you order), and it’s perfect to go with friends so you can try more dishes. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is fast. You won’t see the classic dim sum trolleys here, but the food and flavors definitely make up for it. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Cantonese dim sum in Edinburgh.”

  “Ordered 3 roast with soup noodles and other dim sum dishes. The roast duck was so blend looks under cooked and not crispy on the skin, the roast pork were mainly fat and skin hardly any meat. Asked the waiter if they could do something, came back 5 minutes with the dish and said the kitchen chef have use a fire torch on the roast duck skin there’s nothing else they can do. When I’ve pointed out the table next to us got the same roasts but their looks butter quality the explanations I got was they got dark soya sauce on it. Using lies to cover their poor quality control on food, I could have buy a frozen duck and pop it in a the air fryer at home it would be better than this nonsense that cost £19. Only by passing to go back to Glasgow, so don’t think the owner cares about losing customer or not. I won’t recommend this place as I’ve only just had morning tea in Glasgow loon Fung couple of days ago. Their owner trying to make a compensation after found out I’m from he’s hometown but we already full at that point. Didn’t finish the roasts as the quality just not up to average standard, please don’t tell people this is Cantonese roasts because it isn’t. The photos are after the duck got fire torched, so it was more pale looking then.”

  “First time here and to be honest the best Asian food I tested so far. The staff is very gentle, they are customer oriented people and really care about their customers. The staff was really helpful with my order, giving recommendations and suggesting to try another dishes. The food was over my expectations, everything was absolutely delicious. Very good quality-price .”
