Nelly Terraces Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Mate, The Taste Good on Slateford road is prob the best, I only live 2mins from there and though I find it a bit formuliac and they don't do any specials, the standard of food is faultless really. Their garlic chicken is especially tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Used to use Taste Good, but a victim of their own success i think as their delivery times were eventually erratic (up to two hours sometimes) and I felt that their portions got decidely smaller. Started using the one on Dalry Road, The New Palace, and was mightily impressed although the last couple I had weren;t as good as their initial high standard. Not had a Chinese take away for a wee while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phage Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Im a Taste Good sort of guy but it is a bit samey after a while. Started using the 222 on Bryson Road and there spring rolls are not as good as TG. You get four small littles ones in an old school metal tin. But they are still good... better than the big bag style spring rolls some places do. 222's chow mein was a lot better. You get more surprises like bean sprouts and thye use thicker noodles too. Taste Goods micro noodles are not so good and I have had a number of occasions where they are all dry and clumped together... all crispy like But I dote between the two now. Big shout to TGs Garlic Chick too... Its awesome-o! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJack Horseman Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 New Palace at the top of Inverleith Row is a winner. Their Crispy Shredded Beef is the dugs. Although it's not so crispy. Plus their delivery times are unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Although I like Taste Good, I find that the meals on delivery aren't as good as those that you get when you sit in. Maybe, I'm losing the plot but I think they aren't as good. I've recently used SWS and HUI after moving to Carrick Knowe and found both to be very good. My girlfriend bought something from the one at Carrick Knowe (next to Spar) but I refused after hearing many stories about the place - I got a chippy from the BBQ instead. The Ping on at Stockbridge is my favourite though - bloody lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbies-tackle Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Been using the Lucky Star on Balgreen Road for nearly 20 years!. The lemon chicken is just perfect and the Special Curry is also highly recommended. We have tried a lot of other local takeaways, including SWS, but always go back to the Lucky Star. I suppose its just a question of personal preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarhead Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 SWS in Stenhouse Cross. Their schezwan and kung po are good if you like hot dishes. Mr Lees in Longstone does a pretty good black bean sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future's Maroon Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hot Pot on Slateford Road used to be excellent, but it went downhill for a couple of years....had a drunken munch out of there the other week on the way home from the Mill and it was great (could have been the drink tho) Ping On is very good too. There is one at Cannonmills across from the Standard Life building which is really good too - cant remember the name tho?! Lucky Star at Balgreen - had one once....never again, but may have changed since my bad experience! The one at Chesser was always a fav on a Thursday lunchtime when I worked in Chesser House. SWS is alright too, not had one for a while from there tho. 222 - when that first opened the size of portions you got were frightning one dish would do two.....but I think they have cut the sizes now that they have a regular custom (must have just been a ploy to get folk using it) But honestly, I'd stick to Taste Good or I Ching - you cant go wrong! God, I'm starving now.....guess what I'm having for tea tonight now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonjambo Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 not a fan of chinese because of MSG but where I used to live in Aberdeen there were two decent ones right across the road who both had loads of dishes that were MSG free. Would not have chinese as first choice but don't mind i ching and taste good if pushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
