I have been to the Rendezvous many times over the past 35 yrs I never need to look a the Menu as i know what my choice will be I was so disappointed that the recipe for the Crispy Shredded chili beef has been changed since i was last there The beef was much thicker and the coating on the beef was different and It now seems it is the same as all other chinese restuarants so I will not be ordering it again

Fantastic food, in a relaxed atmosphere with great service. The steamed dumplings and crispy duck were superb and the grilled chicken was really tasty (as were the other dishes we had).

Excellent food and generous portions. Just a bit eager trying to take your plates between courses and staff not communicating with each other but very friendly. Definitely go again.

Food was average compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Starter came within minutes of ordering which usually makes me feel it is all pre cooked and reheated. The main course was equally quick and in all we were "turned around" in under an hour!! Disappointing as we have eaten here before and have always enjoyed it.

Excellent food. A good experience for lovers of Chinese cuisine. The only criticism would be the entrance and stairs to the restaurant. Very dilapidated and shabby. Not a good first impression. However, once inside a very attractively set up dining area.

the food was delicious and the service was fast too. For a lunchtime £7.99 set menu there is a great choice and staff were willing to swap dishes for other meats at our request.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Great food, good atmosphere, attentive staff. Slightly annoying bleeping coming from the kitchen if seated round to the right so try and get a seat to the left!
