Golden Bridge - Whole Spicy Sea Bass

Golden Bridge

As an Indian living in Edinburgh for roughly 14 years now, I usually find it hard to get really…read moregood, authentic Indian food in the city (though some exceptions exist, such as Anna Purna and Zest, and I don't claim to have tried every place in Auld Reekie). So it was a wonderful surprise to find Golden Bridge which serves a range of Chinese cuisine, but specialises in food from the Guizou and Sichuan provinces (the chef, Ma, and his wife, Sue, are from the former). Some of this food is very spicy, taxing even my palate which was used to having Pork Vindaloo back home in India. But most of it is moderately spiced if spicy at all, and the tastes (to my mind at least) are exquisite. Top favourite of all time (also a winner with relatives from India who visited some years ago) is the whole sea bass which comes in a delicate batter and with a sweet-spicy sauce. The milder sea bass with ginger and spring onions is also excellent and the tastes more subtle. Other favourites are Family Style Chicken, Double Cooked Pork and Duck in Spicy Juice. Hot pot here is an amazing experience but I usually dine on my own there so have to wait till I have a group of people. Invariably there is plenty left over. Spicy Cucumber salad is also unusual and an excellent cold dish, but with a spicy sauce and I think sesame seeds, if memory serves! If you go in and ask for authentic food, press the owner into offering you some of the dishes that are not on the regular menu. Chinese Pie is one of my favourites amongst these as an appetizer - only tried it last 20+ years ago in Boston where it was called Scallion Pancake. If you want to challenge your tonsils with regard to spiciness, ask for Minced Pork with Pickled Cabbage at full strength! You have been warned. Last but not least if you like the simple pleasures such as well made rice, you will find their egg fried rice is delicate and a lovely near-white colour unlike most other restaurants which colour/flavour it with soya sauce. I could say more, but I want to leave some surprises for you if you choose to dine there. The restaurant was recently reviewed by the Scotsman Magazine. (Saturday, 9th August, 2008)

I planned ahead and reserved a table. We arrived at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm reservation and were…read moreseated. Service was really quick initially but as the restaurant got busier around 6:30pm the service slowed. We didn't get out of the restaurant until 7:15pm. Annabelle, our waitress was great and attentive. Drinks were delicious, I ordered the crouching tiger which was very refreshing with tequila and grapefruit. We opted for the traditional set menu. Unfortunately online there is a £37.50 evening menu, but once we arrived the starting price was £72.00 a person and up. That was my only compliant, just a little more transparency and consistency with pricing across platforms. Otherwise all of the food was delicious. I loved the lobster toasts and braised beef. Would recommend if you're in the area, but definitely a more expensive restaurant in the area, but a lot of food for the money.

The service and the ambiance is definitely giving instagram first quality of food second. We were…read morewarmly greeted when we came in and when we left the person at the front was really friendly and engaging. The spicy edamame was very good and had a nice kick. The shrimp crackers tasted stale! The sauce that came with it was also a bit spicy which I enjoyed. The chicken was surprising in that you couldn't modify the amount of heat in the dish. To me that indicates it being pre-cooked. That is very strange to me because literally every single Asian restaurant in the world has the ability to customize their menu, especially when it comes to spice levels. I actually wanted mine to be hotter than it was. Another person in our party wanted less spice. No exceptions were made. The egg spicy noodles were probably my favorite thing that I tried. Again we were told that the spice level that couldn't be modified at all. For the price you pay you should really get more in both size and in quality. The music and the vibe were very trendy and appealing to the instagram crowd. I would not likely come back.
