Good food, decent prices. Would give 5 stars but the atmosphere was a little off - not enough lighting and staff was very noisy.
The quality of the dishes on offer was entirely pleasing, making it one of the best places I’ve visited for Chinese food, in the city
Twas a cold, dark, blustery night when my colleagues and I ventured into B&D's. The rush of warmth that hit us as we entered was a welcome relief from the chilly outside and we were offered our choice of table, a lovely gesture for quite a large party considering the size of the seating area. Glasses and bottle openers were offered for our BYOB beverages and a bowl of complimentary prawn crackers (the best I've had in Edinburgh!) were bestowed upon us.
Having booked ahead we already knew that we would be having the seven dish tasting menu for our main but one look at the starters and we knew we had to order some. We settled on ribs, chicken noodle soup and dumplings - all of which were delicious, seriously, seriously delicious!
Then came our tasting menu dishes. We ordered a side of boiled rice and a side of egg fried rice to accompany our mammoth main meal which consisted of too many things for me to remember, all of which were delectable. Stand outs included the prawns (I'm not a seafood person but these were cooked beautifully, very fresh and clean and had the most succulent sauce I think I've ever tasted covering them) and the sand chicken which was a little spicy but very tasty.
We ended the meal with dessert (somehow!) and left with full bellies and happy faces. The tasting menu was a little on the expensive side but the regular menu is rather fairly priced. This place is a little gem nestled in the Dalry/Gorgie area that I would highly recommend and they do takeaway if you don't fancy dining in.
