    Excellent flavors and presentation.

    Enjoyed this restaurant very much. I love San Francisco dim sum and this was so wonderful. I wish I had come with a large group so I could try more things. I have found it hard to post Yelp reviews in Glasgow, and heard that they use TripAdvisor more. But I love Yelp, so it was my first go to. Anyway, this was delicious and I was so happy to find it. (I was told about it by another Chinese gal that was in our traveling group.

    Loving the mood lighting.

    One day when we had some time to wait before the start of a film we wanted to see, Harry and I went on the prowl for something relatively quick and also delicious. Fast food was simply not going to cut it today! So we decided to try out Dim Sum since it was relatively close and new... and I also love dim sum! Inside, there's a sort of relaxed jazz bar vibe. The shady room is backlit with cool blue and purple lights, and it's all very chilled with enough interesting pictures and decor items to keep my eyes interested. The menu sports an interesting selection of dim sum (both steamed and fried), with some interesting fusion options not limited to haggis dumplings and scallop with Stornoway black pudding (YES! You read that correctly. Haggis). We didn't partake of either of those, but we did have spinach and prawn dumplings, char sui bun, grilled pork dumplings with balsamic, as well as chicken and leek tom yum dumplings. My biggest disappointment was that there weren't more dim sum varieties... I would have liked a few more steamed bun varieties, for example, and maybe some dessert dim sum as well like lotus / red bean paste buns or custard buns. I digress. Based on what we tried, I have to say it was pretty delicious. Don't expect a traditional dim sum restaurant; you will have to ask for any dipping sauces not provided with your choices. It does work well as a mix of East and West... and you really can't beat a little bit of dim sum before a film! The service was relatively quick, too, which means we may visit again when we have a pre-movie hankering and the staff were friendly. Definitely worth a try!

    Steamed dumplings: the purple ones are smoked haddock and leeks (my favourite) and the other ones are chorizo.

    The service was fantastic and the food was so authentic, maybe feel like I was somewhere else other than Scotland.

    The idea of the Sunshine Soiree is to mingle with other diners in an informal, relaxing environment…read moreand sample Asian cuisine. It was a £10 donation - to cover ingredients, decor, and towards start up costs of the Sunshine Tea Lounge business - and BYOB. We were shown around the secret location (address private messaged to attendees a couple of days before) and presented with a refreshing ginger & lime mocktail. There were little dish name cards spread out on a table but I didn't note them all down so I may be slightly off with descriptions. There were around 20 guests and we spread ourselves out in different rooms, some people sitting on a sofa or on provided chairs, and some of us standing. This wasn't an official Yelp event but there were quite a few of us Yelpers there. First dish up was two bowls of lotus root dip and fried crispbreads. This was one of my favourite dishes of the night, the dip had lots of flavour and the breads were delicious. Next was the lotus root crisps with a lotus root dip, this one a bit more creamy in consistency than the previous ones. The crisps were very thin so these were not really as suited for a dipping style, but also tasted great. Following this were green peppers in a garlic and black bean sauce - this was very tasty and I could have eaten a bowl of this to myself easily. We then had a salad of greens and carrot topped with sesame seeds, and some hoisin chicken wings were also brought out. Next was firecracker rice with either a vegetable curry or a chicken curry. As the plates that had come out were for sharing with a large group of people I was quite hungry by this point and was looking forward to loading up in carbs. The curry was nice, very mild. I did wonder what happened to the dumplings as I'd seen place cards for different varieties of dumpling - and mentions of them on social media for tonight's event, but none ever materialised. Lastly, there were desserts of orange and cardamom cakes, and sweet potato mochi in a coconut sauce - the latter being suitable also for vegans. Again, these were all shared and self service, so I felt I had to be considerate with watching portion sizes. It was good to be able to chat with chef & host, Susan, at the end of the night about the food and other Chinese dishes. I have opted to give it a 4 as although I enjoyed the event, the Yelp event a few weeks ago - where there were only 8 people - looked a bit better in that everyone had a seat to themselves for the evening, their own portions of food, and more opportunity for chat about the Sunshine Tea Lounge concept - discussing the mood boards, etc. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future events; unfortunately I can't make Susan's pop-up in two weeks' time but I hope to make another of her events soon!

I then had a beng - a mighty big fried thing stuffed with shitake mushroom & vegetables. Both items were fried, so not exactly the healthy choice, but my gosh they were tasty. Ideal hangover/comfort food. It would set them off nicely to perhaps be served with some fresh salad. I'll watch with interest to see what Sunshine Tea Lounge do next.

    We discovered this place a couple of years back when looking for dim sum in Edinburgh. It was…read morerecommended by some real experts, so why not try? We've now been here a number of times and really like it. They do really nice dumplings, my favourite probably being the salmon and prawn one. The duck rolls are really good. And we've tried some of the stir fry noodle dishes. Most recently I went for the chicken rice porridge. I'd never had it before and really liked it. It's nice to have a good dim sum in Edinburgh. This place is off the beaten path but doesn't disappoint. The service could be a bit warmer, but that's easily forgettable once you've gotten your first plate.

    We have yet to find a Chinese food place that makes up for our local closing, so decided to try…read moreStack, although knowing it's not the greasy, fulfilling Chinese we long for. We ordered take-out and wanted to ensure it was enough food for two people, so we ordered 4 of the dim-sum and one of the glutinous rice bowls. We had the #1 Prawn Dim sum, #10 Ribs and Black Beans from the steamed menu and then the #23 Fried Squid Cake and the #24 Vietnamese Spring Rolls from the fried menu. All were delicious, especially the prawn and the Vietnamese Spring Rolls. The ribs were also good, but quite fatty and lots of small bones, so I was slightly turned off by eating those. The rice congee, #52 was good and hearty, but seemed to lack any salt or real flavour. I would say it would be excellent for a someone with a cold, but not an amazingly flavourful option. They did serve it with deep fried bread dough, which was so tasty. Overall, a delicious meal, but it wasn't nearly enough food for two people. It just wasn't super filling, but we imagine it is a great dine-in option if you have some friends to share it with and some time to linger. It is a bit pricier then most takeaway's, but it's a bit different then just getting sweet and sour chicken, and definitely worth the tasting. Also, they don't accept card under £25 pounds, so make sure to bring cash. Oddly enough, they serve a wine called Forge Mill, which I discovered at The Dogs, and have been hunting to find locally ever since. A great wine and I am excited they sell it. Definitely a place I will only dine-in from now on to get the experience, which I think makes them a great eatery.
