freddie Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Like the best chippy, thoughts? If you're talking takeaway then Food-4-U on Morningside Road is outstanding. A little bit more expensive than average but worth it for the extra quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only a Game Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Traditional: Kweilen Alternative: Chop Chop Always found the Kweilen a bit expensive and a bit inconsistent. When they are on their game I agree, its pretty damn good though. Consistently the best traditional one for me is the relatively nearby Ping On in Stockbridge. Been going there on and off for the last 30 odd years and never been let down once, either in quality or price. Only drawback is its on the small side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go there that often so can't really comment on the consistency. I had forgotten about the Ping On. It's very good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorgiegirl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Got a takeaway from there recently and found it distinctly "meh". Went there at the end of September, found the service to be extremely poor. Whilst the staff were polite they were very inept. We ordered the banquet & we got 1/2 the starters during the main courses, we also had to ask for plates or bowls to eat from and they only brought 1 each time you asked.... The pudding option was also not given to us or even offered (as we didn't fancy it anyway).... not one to recommend. I also like the Kweilin, chop chop, Manor house & the previously the Lune town.... however not been to the latter in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The Rainbow arch is very very good quality, despite the poor press it has had of recent. For takeaways, sadly my favourite one of all time, and could not be touched is no longer there. This was the Victorian in Restalrig/Leith Links. Superb food every single time. So my favourite Chinese takeaway in Edinburgh now is the Number one at the top of Leith Walk, though sadly never eaten there for many years now, as no longer in the area.

Ray Winstone Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The Ping On in Stockbridge is excellent, as is the Loon Fung on Inverleith Row, although perhaps a tad expensive. For a sit in meal Loon Town in the West End just off Shandwick Place is very good and not a lot of people seem to know it is there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Dance Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Three letters: C.M.H Chinese Manor House Superb every time I've been. Slightly more expensive, but truly great food - and a great pint too!! As I've said on another thread, 'Chop Chop' is on the F word this week as one of the best locals in Britain this week, so probably worth a shout - I've not been though.. Edit: Just noticed the post above, Ping On in stockbridge is also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man even tried the Silver Bowl when it changed over and said it was honking. Might have to give it a bash myself to see if it's any good next time I'm down at me mam and dads.

Ribble Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 There's always one eh? Yup ! It's just that i'm not really a fan of cantonese but love the chinese dishes you get in Chop Chop! I'm led to believe that Chop Chop is based on northern chinese cuisine which because it is too cold to grow rice they instead have noodles, dumplings etc!

Charlie's brother Michael and his wife, and William also John who I think is a cousin all still work there and the ones up Leith Walk on some sort of rotation. Went to school with Charlie, he's got the Japanese/Chinese in the Omni Centre last I spoke to him. I would say the one up Leith Walk is the best one mind.
