Myself and my wife arrived at the Restaurant 10 minutes early. The booking was for 8 pm. the lady asked three times my name which we gave. She said we would be able to get our table in five minutes time and asked if we could take a seat, which was at the top of the stairs from the toilets and just across from everyones coats hanging there. We had a drink while we waited. Nowhere to put your drink other than on the floor and no table. We eventually got through at 8.10 pm, which we thought they are busy and at least we were at the table. We eventually got our order taken - two main courses only and then the girl said it would be 25 minutes wait. The food arrived at 8.55pm after we had been in there an hour. The food was okay, but we will not be back as the night before we went for a meal to another Restaurant in the same area of Edinburgh and the food and service was excellent.

Table booked for 7pm which is when we sat down with menus, sat for over 30 mins, nobody came near to even take order for drinks, noticed people who were seated after us getting their orders taken so were on the verge of getting up and walking out, but managed to get the attention of female member of staff or perhaps owner/ manager who apologised and then came back 5 mins later, was only going to take our drinks order but we insisted she take our food order as well as felt she might never come back again. Once order was placed drink and food was served quickly and food was all delicious but experience was spoilt by the wait at the start and the feeling that we were being ignored while others were being served so wouldnt go back for this reason. Shame really as food was excellent.

Friendly staff, pleasant and comfortable dining experience. Catered well for a party of 8 apart from one item not being available from the menu on the night. Very well priced and our only regret is not having room to sample the dessert menu! Will be back and would definitely recommend.

Booking on line was easy, all of the staff were very attentive and polite, service very good, good intervals between courses and there was no encouragement by the staff for us to vacate the table when we had finished our meal. Overall, an excellent restaurant.

We wished to have the pre theatre special which was shown on the menu. When we arrived and tried to order we were told it was not available due to a "management decision" My "customer decision" is not to go back, in any event the food was distinctly average.

Food and surroundings are very good, and the service was good but rather slow, took ages to get the first round of drinks. Waiters very friendly but not enough of them. Didn't mind not being hurried but took too long with the drinks.

We were undecided between 3 and 4. The food is definitely good (the bamboo not to my taste, it was more sour than I am used to, but this is a matter of taste. all the rest was very good and good quality) but the service was slow beyond any reasonable timescale that one might expect. It took 3 hours for a three course meal.

We have been to this restaurant a couple of times and has always been lovely. However on this occasion the standard of chicken in the dishes were poor. More like processed meat. The service as always was very attentive although we had ordered a banquet and they forgot two of the dishes. Overall we had a lovely evening.

This is an excellent restaurant with an extensive menu. The service was excellent and attentive, but not intrusive. All food was cooked to order and the mussels starter with chilli and garlic was a particular favourite. We were a party of 8 and all plates were cleared. We will definitely return.

Reserved a table for 7, called up and they let us change it to 7:30 with no issue. The restaurant was atmospheric, however music could have been louder. We were greeted on arrival by a very polite waitress and the service continued to be great, with excellent food which was served at a good speed after ordering and between each course.

They did not have our reservation!!!!!! However, the staff ran around and found us a table. Friendly staff but obviously understaffed as it took FOUR HOURS for our meal. Great Food, nice staff. The lady (manager?) kept apologising and offering us some free dessert but we were full and very tired by then and just wanted to leave. So.... would go back, but not at Chinese New Year.
