  “Oh my god, where to start from? What a find. I swear to god its just what i needed on the night after a long shift. The food is just amazing and the vibes of the place are so relaxed and comforting. Highly recommend the team members, super nice and knowledgeable about the menu even for giving recommendations and for allergies. Very much appreciated with them checking back for some specific things. Apart from that, all the food we tried had gorgeous flavors. My most favourite was the one with mushroom (cannot remember the exact name but its in the picture right next to the rectangle plate). MUST TRY! Also the sides looked lovely but we just had aubergine: spicy but amazinggggggg…”

  “We had a fantastic lunch at Ka Pao, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely afternoon. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely packed with bold, authentic Southeast Asian flavours. The sharing plates were creative, fresh, and expertly balanced, with each one more delicious than the last. It's easy to see why Ka Pao has earned such an outstanding reputation for its innovative cuisine. The service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, with the staff happy to guide us through the menu and offer excellent recommendations. The entire experience felt effortless, from start to finish. If you're looking for a delicious lunch spots in Edinburgh, Ka Pao is an absolute must-visit. Delicious food, wonderful service, and a lively atmosphere make it a restaurant we'll be returning to whenever we're back in the city.”

  “Outstanding food (amazing flavours & presentation), great attentive staff and chilled ambience. 💯 recommended but please put a sign on the doors saying they are heavy (& which way they open) & seriously folk, the lighting in the toilets is so, so poor. Sort these things and we are a 9.5 / 10 xx”

  “Went for lunch so the place was rather quiet but I imagine it’s buzzing in the evening. Really great lunch deal; incredible value. Great option for Asian if you’re in the area/ visiting the botanic garden.”

  “Excellent choice for dinner. James was terrific with great suggestions and service. Great value for the amount of food. The BBQ Chicken with Carmel fish sauce was terrific. Every other dish solid and flavorful. We ordered all dishes at once and I recommend ordering a few dishes at a time instead..”

  “Food absolutely delicious. Carrying a heavy overhead for a Monday, but clearly a late surge expected. Sister to Ox & Finch so expecting great things. Menu excellent, lovely wines by the glass, the Lebanese from Bekaa valley did not disappoint. Perfect with the Halibut, incredible citrus and macadamia crunch. Pork skewers a little on the edge of off-cut but cooked bang on. Jaew sauce clearly home made, greens with oyster also cooked with care. Service impeccable. Just can’t get my head around the industrial stairwell, almost office like, as the saying goes… You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and the last impression is the one people remember. Soften that and atmosphere deserved a 4. 8.6/10”

  “The service was bad. We were waiting ages till someone came over and took our order. We were waiting ages again for our food and then we were missing a dish. And when we inquired about it, the waitress was like 'oh I forgot, do you still want it?'. It wasn't even busy that night! We spilt wine on the table by mistake and no one noticed it or cleaned it up. The food was okay. But not worth it. Definitely would not recommend :(”

  “Came here for dinner and throughly enjoyed our time here. My partner and I ordered multiple dishes and none disappointed. I had really wanted to try the tuna crudo but they didn’t have the stock for it - will definitely be back to try that. The dishes were all so flavourful and had elements of Thai cuisine in each, and the fusion was done perfectly. Even the desserts were really good. I really enjoyed the coconut pandan soft serve. The fried chicken and the squid were both phenomenal. Highly recommend getting the tartar as well. However, the beef tongue was a bit too salty for my liking. I wouldn’t get the cucumber salad again as that was quite basic and lacked any element of surprise. Overall service was very good, our waitress was very knowledgeable and warm. Even the receptionist was very professional right as we walked in and offered to take out coats.”

  “Absolutely loved our meal at Ka Pao! The flavours were bold and creative — every dish had a perfect balance of spice, freshness, and texture. The chilli and lime leaf cashews and peanuts were addictive to start, and the beef short rib skewers were tender with just the right kick from the pickled turmeric as did the spiced lamb sausage with Thai basil. Fancied a curry - the celeriac curry impressed with its smoky richness and crispy kale topping - not spicy. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and a wonderful mix of comfort and excitement on the plate.”
