  “This is such a lovely Chinese restaurant! The food is fresh and fairly affordable (for the UK). We had the har gow, chicken chow mein, steamed vegetables and crispy shredded beef with peking sauce. With some Pino Grigio. Worth a visit!”

  “Good food and quick nice service. Extensive gluten free menu with items not usually on gf chinese menus. The interior of the restaurant is relaxing and decorated to a high standard. Perfect! All images are gluten free, we also had gf egg fried rice.”

  “Very good food, and very good quality. Loved the recommendation for my meal from Evan, who was our waiter for the night. Great range of meals, and for good value!”

  “Overall, a disappointing experience. The food was acceptable but lacked flavor and any real character — no added value on the plate. Service was poorly managed. I arrived with low battery on my phone and, since I usually pay with it, I asked if they had a charger. The waitress was very polite and helpful and said yes, of course (as is standard in most places), but I then overheard the manager telling her, “no chargers.” Clear internal misalignment — and worse, visible to the customer. To avoid running out of battery and being unable to pay, I had to ask for the bill upfront, which directly impacted my experience — I ended up skipping dessert. To top it off, when I got up to leave, the owner assumed I was leaving without paying, despite the fact that I had already settled the bill at the beginning of the meal. A clear lack of control and internal communication. In short: average food and flawed front-of-house operations. Not worth it.”

  “Karen’s Unicorn is currently closed for dine-in but you can order in restaurant for takeaway. The food was warm and on time and the person who helped us was quick and friendly. The food was great, though not quite what we expected. I found the menu a bit hard to navigate but we got what we wanted. Spring rolls were delicious!”

  “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.”

  “Definitely deserves 5*! One of the best Chinese meals that I have had in a long time. Service was spot on. Food was delicious and perfectly presented. I've not tried other Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh but you definitely won't be disappointed if you choose this one.”
