Nice food with an old-fashioned Hong Kong cafe vibe. Pricing slightly on the high side in the neighborhood though. Noted that they had two different menus in two languages. The Hong Kong menu in Cantonese had more authentic Hong Kong cafe type of food and drinks. The English menu, as I understood, was an adapted version to suit local tastebuds and preferences. But that was very confusing to customers who read either one or both menus really. One bilingual menu would easily solve the problem.

On our visit to Edinburgh we are delighted to visit this authentic Hong Kong cha chaan teng 茶餐廳, serving delicious classic dishes with a rather tongue-in-cheek menu (if you read Chinese - fear not they do of course have a menu in English!). We gathered that they have only opened in the last couple of years (?)
We sampled the honey chilli chicken wings 蜜辣雞翼which were fresh and still steaming hot when served, and were crispy and super flavourful. The beef brisket rice牛腩飯was tender, and the tomato, egg and beef rice 港式茄蛋牛飯just tasted like how it is in Hong Kong. The best dish was the Peking sauce pork chop rice京汁豬扒飯 - the pork was lightly battered and fried and was juicy and succulent against a zingy sauce.
We were rather full from the generous portions but managed to fit in a warm pineapple bun 菠蘿包，an egg tart 蛋撻and a pastel de nata (Portuguese tart) 葡撻。Again they were fresh and not too sweet but rich, eggy and creamy. We will have to go back to try the French toast (it looked huge!)
The server was very friendly and attentive: giving us wet wipes when he spotted us enjoying our wings by hand, and asking if we want our water cold or hot (very Chinese!) They don’t charge a separate service charge as this has been factored into the prices already.
For me this is one of the best Cantonese/Hong Kong food outlets in the UK and is far superior to those much more expensive/low value for money Cantonese restaurants of London.
Highly recommended. We would definitely be returning for a taste of authentic HK food on our next Edinburgh trip.
Very friendly staff and good service, food is amazing. We won the prize of two tartars by answering to puzzle questions on the wall of the restaurants! Super fun!
Very friendly environment and funny staff with really nice food! The express menu is very reasonably priced, is a good portion size and very delicious. The same goes for the coffee and the carrot cake! Definitely would go again and would recommend!
Quite authentic Hong Kong cha-chaan-teng style cuisine but slightly overpriced at almost £20 per dish.

We discovered this newly revamped café a couple of weeks ago and have already been back for more! The food is absolutely delicious and authentic, with large portions, and the service is fast and friendly. The coffee and cakes are also lovely.
Very hong-kong style!
The meal includes hong-kong milk tea as well.
French toast is definitely recommended!
Everyone visit this place!!! Amazing best chips in town and very authentic Chinese cuisine. I will be back thank you everyone 🤝👍
very good restaurant and welcoming staff. Feeling home with the food and service. Will definitely try again!
Very delicious food! Highly recommended. Even my 20 month old toddler enjoys the braised beef dish with rice.
Friendly and lovely staff too.
Beef are amazing taste, and great weight. A soft drink free with main course, also rice could ask a free refill if you want more.
Such an authentic place with very delicious food! Would recomend always!!!!
Make sure it’s open before you go.
A new but distinctly Hong Kong type of cafe with many old favourite from the lanes of Mongkok to the country cafes of the New Territories. Well worth a visit.
Super kind staff and nice food. The best HK restaurant ever in Edinburgh! Visit hundreds of time and never disappointed😃
