“Rice and food is delicious really recommend this Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh”

“Cash or wechat only Salivating ckn is decent, but more homestyled, not as good as Chengdu casserole's Wanton in chili oil overall flavour profile is quite authentic, although I prefer meatier fillings The dry pot intestines were boiled instead of fried before being stir fried. There's no foul smell at all, it's very well prepared. Unfortunately, the stir frying part is not well spiced and some of the onions were a little raw, otherwise it would have been perfect. The hunan stir fried pork is not good, flavour profile is completely off Stick to their Sichuan food which are decent. Skip all the non-sichuan food”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for authentic Sichuan cooking, with the spicy dishes drawing the strongest praise. Diners single out the pork, which one calls very good quality, along with the soya chicken and the tomato egg, and several describe the rice and food as delicious. Close behind is the service, called friendly and knowledgeable, with one waitress and the owner mentioned warmly. One detailed review is more mixed. It found the wanton in chili oil authentic and the dry pot intestines well prepared with no foul smell, but under-spiced with some raw onions, and it called the salivating chicken decent but homestyled. The Hunan stir fried pork was faulted for an off flavour, and that reviewer advises sticking to the Sichuan dishes. One reviewer reports food poisoning and hairs in the fish and tofu dish, and also found the beef too salty. Payment comes up repeatedly: cash only, no app payment, and a cash point some distance away, so one reviewer suggests preparing beforehand.
