About Jade Palace
Salt and chilli cooking anchors the menu at Jade Palace, a Chinese takeaway on Dalkeith Rd in Edinburgh, where a salt and chilli box arrives with curry sauce and sweet and sour sauce alongside. The same treatment carries across salt and chilli chicken and salt and pepper chips, giving regular orders a common thread. Beyond that, the kitchen turns out Cantonese and Hong Kong style fast food staples, with egg fried rice, special fried rice and young chow fried rice among the rice options and chow mein and mee noodle dishes filling out the noodle side. Curry sauce dishes such as beef curry sit next to Kung Po chicken, chicken satay, sweet and sour chicken balls and crispy chicken in honey barbecue sauce, and egg foo yung and soup round out the choices. Food goes out for collection and delivery. The shop trades in the evenings and closes on Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
The salt and chilli dishes are what reviewers return for most, with the salt and pepper chips and wings, salt and chilli chicken, and a salt and chilli box that several describe as full of flavour and generously sized, one noting it stretched to two people. Close behind sits a widely repeated belief that the original chef or former management is back, which reviewers credit for a marked jump in quality. Others single out crispy chicken in honey barbecue sauce, egg foo yung, chicken balls with sweet and sour, beef curry, Kung Po chicken and chow mein, with orders arriving hot and on time. Not everyone agrees: one reviewer reports ordering young chow fried rice and receiving special fried rice containing prawns despite a stated shellfish allergy, another calls the current food poor and says the kitchen staff should change, and a third found the fried rice too salty and the mee too sweet. Several say plainly they would recommend the place to anyone trying Chinese food.

“Have to say this was the best chinese takeaway I have had in ages. Was just up visiting to Edinburgh and we used to use years ago. Did not disappoint. Had the crispy chicken in honey bbq sauce chicken egg foo yung and rice and chicken balls sweet and sour sauce and a bbq sauce. All arrived piping hot and delicious. Reasonably prices”

“Ordered young chow fried rice (said on description young chow egg fried rice with peas & spring onions) it came as a special fried rice. Never mentioned anything about prawns etc on description. I am allergic to prawns, shrimps. …”

“The fried rice was a bit overpowering with the saltiness and the mee was overpowering with the sweetness. …”
