The staff are really friendly and attentive, nothing seemed too much trouble. The restaurant was busy, but everyone was served and seen to very quickly. The food is delicious.

I entered the restaurant and was greeted by a gentleman who I assume is the owner. He spoke broken English but understood that I intended to order and dinenin and directed me to a table in the corner then brought me menus in both English and Chinese. I ordered a Sprite to drink and got spring rolls and the duck which spring onion and garlic. I didn't get any rice as I wanted something sort if light to tide me over until the evening meal. Not sure if they don't carry a Sprite or maybe Sprite is packaged differently but what I git instead was. 7Up. Spring rolls were hot and delicious and the duck was good though too much onion for me. Overall good meal.

So another review long in the making!…read more This is by no means your average Chinese Take Away... even though they do take away, strike that from your thoughts if like me it conjures up thoughts of sub par Chinese food that is pretty much the same up and down the UK. That said, some may find this place a bit too adventurous compared to your standard Chinese establishment... if you've been to Red Chilli somewhere else in the UK then cross that place with one of the better take aways (even though this isn't a take away), and you may have an idea of what this place is like. It's not as posh or big as Red Chilli, but still takes the off the beaten path approach to some of it's dishes. For an example of dishes I've liked... the Pan-fried Dumplings Stuffed with Juicy Pork were good and definitely seemed home made... the Salt & Pepper Squid was cooked perfectly, but I do wish it had been cooked with chillies and garlic as well and may ask if they can work that one out next time... I can't fault them for it as it is though, it's not Chilli Garlic Squid after all. My favourite dish, that keeps me coming back, is the (Boneless) Szechuan Style Chicken with Chilli & Pepper in Deep Fry... it is simply crazy if salt and heat are your things... I'm literally craving it now just thinking about all of those peppercorns and dried chillies... nom! It won't be for everyone, but if a salty and spicy dish sounds up your alley then perhaps worth a go. For starters, I actually really like the Mixed Jellyfish which seems to surprise them... it has a great garlic taste, but one that I wouldn't fault. For more basic fare, I've had the Fried Noodles (really enjoyed, not too oily) and the Shrimp Fried Rice (on par with better take aways, a bit oily but with good flavour)... to counter this however they offer things like Cucumbers with Garlic Sauce, exactly as it sounds, to offer a healthy alternative. I could actually go on about the different foods that I personally like, but I think if you came here with a few friends and/or ordered a few dishes you would figure out if the food was for you. I've had things I haven't loved, and things that really stood out, but the biggest compliment I can pay is that I look forward to exploring the menu. On to the place itself... adequate probably sums it up to be honest... nothing mind blowing, but nothing bad either... it seems to have just enough space, I've never been turned away at a busy period, but I have gotten the last available table... generally it seems quite calm, but as others have mentioned there is normally a group or two of Chinese people there eating all sorts of wonders (I'm so crashing one of their feasts one day!) which is a good sign I suppose. The staff are brilliant, but can be a little rough with English... I don't fault that however (I mean, ask me to speak Chinese!) and I actually find it a bit charming, it never gets in the way in the end regardless. The downsides to me are the varying hours... I'm not a fan of "open until late"... I think Yelp and some other places have posted hours, but trust me... call if it's past 9pm... they are definitely open late sometimes, but I've also shown up at 9pm to find them closed on two occasions. They also seem to be less accepting towards cards towards the tail end of the night, but otherwise accepts them. Regardless, these guys have also gone out of their way holding pick-up orders for me and creating home made chilli sauces so personally I let the weird hours and card policies slide... I wouldn't be so forgiving had the service been bad, but I can't pretend that's the case. All in all, I'll definitely be back and am grateful that these guys are in Fountainbridge.

Now quality of food is standard quality but that more greasy goodness we all need occasionally. However, some of their dishes can be lighter and boast some of those home comfort feels, like their chicken and egg noodle soup. It's also great if you want to get more traditional Chinese dishes, such as beef intestine. Yes, they have that. But if you want to get the more popular Chinese dishes they have that too. Mabo tofu is really good, nice and spicy yet light tofu. New favorite may be the beef ho fun which is so nice for the fried noodle cravings. Also, they serve bubble tea! The bubble tea is yummy. Downstairs they have hot pot and little grills if anyone is thinking of a more all you can eat type experience.
