I had heard about it, as it is open very late and feeds the drunk 2am market. What's not to like? Well, I made the mistake of eating here sober. Don't get me wrong - it was edible, but only just. I had crispy beef and my friend had sweet and sour chicken, but they both tasted exactly the same. The rice was really cold too, which I'm always wary of following a less-than-pleasant experience in Tenerife with bad rice. The shop itself is quite cool in it's own way...maybe unintentionally so but cool nevertheless. I think that going here after a night out is the best way to experience PingOn, inebriating the senses.

I think it's the late opening hours which makes Ping On such a Stockbridge institution.

However, being cosy and reliable is one thing - being chewy and bland is another. Even though it's a great place to eat n' chat it's not particularly great in the food department. Everything's a bit of a strain on the jaw and really isn't the most tasty. The staff were friendly and confident and the price seemed to be lower than a take away.

A very busy place. I'm not too familiar with this type of cuisine but husband was very happy. One little gripe is they don't serve wine by the glass just the bottle. They were out of gin and also Jack Daniels. I am guessing they might only have tiny individual bottles. Husband was happy because they served asahi beer and it was a good price.

Once seated, we were directed to place our order via the website. It required someone to come over to verify, so felt inefficient. We both ordered noodle soup. Hubs order a chicken and mushroom and I ordered wonton noodle soup. Mine came within a reasonable amount of time, but it was at least 20 minutes before Hubs arrived. He was a bit rushed to finish to get our event. I ended up going up to the cash register and asking to close out while he finished eating. My wonton soup was truthfully just basic. I order this as it is my comfort food but didn't find it nostalgic.

Heard later that change in ownership has precipitated a drop in quality, but we were sorely disappointed. Ribs properly dreadful - had that 'boiled previously and heated up' taste despite the sauce.

I have something to confess - I definitely search for "most Instagrammable restaurants" when I…read moretravel - because I love a good theme, or an ambiance that is out of this world. And let me tell you right now - Tattu lived up to the hype I read online and THEN SOME! We booked a later reservation because we were coming back from a tour that day, and we were promptly seated right when we arrived. The vibe was exactly as described - it was upscale, and very ethereal feeling. Trees uplit with purple and pink lights, black marble tables, more floral/light touches, and a dragon mural on the ceiling and also in a projected design on the far wall of the dining area. And luckily, the food was just as good as the ambiance. My friend and I both did the Evening Set Menu, that included a starter for each person and a main dish per person. They also had desserts and sides that you could add for an extra charge (we did a dessert each, and they were also amazing, but more on that later - hold your horses!). I had the Crispy Pork Belly for my starter and it was divine - nice and crispy outside with a soft middle and a delicious dipping sauce. My friend did the Duck Spring Rolls and they were so tasty as well (we split a few of each others' starter). The cherry hoisin sauce that came with the spring rolls was fantastic and a little sweet and sour at the same time. These starters were not so heavy that we didn't have room for our main courses, which I appreciated. For the entree, I had the White Miso Salmon, and the filet was so tender with a miso sauce that was to die for. The Jasmine rice that accompanied them mixed super well with everything too. My friend had the Chinese BBQ Chicken, and it was a large filet that was super flavorful (the bites I had), because it was absolutely coated in the BBQ sauce, and a very juicy filet, too. I would recommend either of the mains or starters that we picked for the evening set menu, based on our experience. As I mentioned, the dessert is not included in the set evening menu, but you can add it at the end - and my friend and I both did! She had the Asian Pear Sticky Toffee pudding, and it was so delectable - a toffee brownie type square with a large mound of buttery ice cream on top, and caramel and cinnamon to top it off. I had the Chocolate Hazelnut Pagoda, and it was a stunner! Literally a chocolate cake "dirt" on top of vanilla whipped pudding, with cherry ice cream on top and a hazelnut chocolate pagoda tree with cotton candy for the leaves. While that sounds awesome in itself, it also came with a cloud of dried ice "smoke" billowing out of it. So cool, and it definitely tuned a few heads when it arrived. So from the super cool and upscale ambiance, excellent service, and out of this world food - I definitely recommend Tattu for a special occasion, date night, or to take anyone you want to really impress!

Chinatown was open and, so it seems, rather busy. it turned out that due to the fresh cooking of the meals, there was a slight back log in the kitchen. However we were duly informed and supplied with some complimentary starters for the wait. It is well worth the wait. As I explained, they cook most of their meals from fresh and that is something you can easily taste when eating. Service is good, but as they were stretched, some people got tired of waiting and left. They missed some good food. It is not often I give good reviews on delayed service, but they handled it very well and the quality was undisputable. Give them a try one day, they may surprise you.

China Town used to be based up in Newington for many years and was my favourite lunch place ever when I worked over that way (I was kinda glad when they moved as I got quite fat!). The lady owner is really friendly and welcoming and remembers every face that used to come to her old place. I'm giving it 3 stars as the service is friendly, it's a great place to come post rugby in larger groups, I often get a takeaway on my way to the train station (mega speedy) and the food really tasty. They are happy to make anything off menu too including my favourite chicken and beansprouts. The wine selection is pretty good too. Can't beat a Chinese restaurant that sells a good Chablis!
