I have been to the Rendevous Chinese Restaurant many times over a number of years. I have always found the service and quality of the food to be consistently high. In addition, the staff are very friendly. Overall, great value for money.

This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh. I've been eating there on and off for around 30 years and it never disappoints. Nice decor, friendly, attentive (not too attentive) staff and great food all add up to make a fantastic dining experience.

Excellent as always, great food, friendly attentive staff. Just a minor point, I think the wine list could have a bit more choice but for the West End what they have is good value.

I have been a few times to the Rendezvous Chinese Restaurant and cannot fault the excellent service and food. The staff take your order quickly and efficiently and the food is served very quickly and is always piping hot. The menu is extensive and very tasty. Would recommend (and have done) to friends and family and continue to go there as it is one of my favourites.

Had dinner with 3 friends at The Rendezvous last night. Enjoyed it. Good food, attentive waiters (despite the place being packed). Prices are pretty good for Edinburgh. The decor is quite nice too now that it has been revamped.

Nothing too fancy here, just a good, well run, traditional Chines restaurant, serving good food. It's city center so it's no surprise the prices are a bit more than many places, but it's still good value.

Food was fantastic but unfortunately some of our friends had almost finished eating by the time everyone's had arrived. We were only a party of six so I would have expected everyone to get their order at the same time.

Still as good as it's ever been. At least 2nd place in my all time list of places that does my test dish, crispy chilli beef. I've eaten here at the age of 7 and now 57 (with a good few visits in between) , hopefully I'll make it to 107 - but the lift will have to be working :)

The starters were very good, but the main course dishes were poor to average. The Chicken Chow Min was dry and served in a cloud bowl. The Thai Green Chicken Curry looked like it was put through a blender. However, the service was good.

Probably the best Chinese food in Edinburgh. Very fresh and perfectly cooked. My only gripe was that the rice portions were very small. I had the crispy chilli beef which was divine.
