Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited on a Thursday night with my husband, prebooked online but was quiet around 7pm. Good menu choice, food was delicious and hot. We had hot & sour soup, the starter platter for 2, 2 main courses and rice. The staff were friendly but quite expensive and a little lacking in atmosphere due to Covid restrictions which were in place(temperature check, socially distancing etc) would recommend

Our hotel booked this restaurant and it was not until we arrived that we realised that it had been visited five years ago and had failed to live up to its reputation then. The restaurant is located in a busy commercial location and is entered via a very nondescript entrance and up numerous steps, that make this totally unavailable for a wheelchair user. The masked staff undertake full Covid 19 protocols with masks, temperature checks, spacing requirements and recording of diner's contact details. It was difficult to have an enjoyable experience and could be put down to the current pandemic situation and the bland decorations and fitments. Vegetarian spring rolls, hot and sour soup was followed by King Prawn with ginger and spring onions and chicken, ginger and spring onion. Extra ginger was asked for the chicken meal and it actually tasted as if none had been added, accompanied by soft drinks. Staff brought prawn crackers without being asked and made us feel welcome before the meal was served and then during the meal. Maybe this was because both the substantial main courses and the small portions of rice had to be sent back as the food was tepid to cold. This was made worse by the crockery it was in being cold and no table hot food warmers provided.

Just had a meal delivered from the Rendezvous Chinese Restaurant in Queensferry Street in Edinburgh‘s West End. This has to the best Chinese food I tasted in a very long while, delivery time about 45 minutes, well within the hour quoted. We had Spicy Chicken Wings and Barbecue Spare ribs to start, I had Sliced stir fried Beef in a Chilli sauce and my partner had the Chicken and mushrooms, both dishes were very delicious and we had fried rice, which wasn’t cooked in soy sauce. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some tasty Chinese cuisine.

My partner booked this restaurant for a birthday treat for the 1st of may, she booked it a few weeks in advance due to the level 3 lockdown. First impressions as you approach the building weren’t too appealing to us, but as soon as we went up a flight of stairs, we were really impressed on how clean it looked inside. When we got to the door of the restaurant, we were welcomed by a member of staff, who asked if we had a reservation, he also checked our temperature, which we thought was a great idea, as some of the other restaurants that we had gone to during our stay, didn’t do this. Although they had the track and trace app, which you had to download. All the staff in this restaurant are very pleasant and helpful. I had ordered the chicken ginger and spring onion, which I thoroughly enjoyed, quite a change from my usual plain chicken fried rice which I love too. My partner had chicken curry, which she really enjoyed as well. This restaurant gets top marks from us for friendliness of the staff, to the quality of the food, and it was reasonably priced for a dining out experience, although we couldn’t get an alcoholic drink due to the restrictions of Covid, but we were happy to have a soft drink. We will definitely return to this restaurant the next time we are in Edinburgh, and would highly recommend it..

I ate at this restaurant in a group of 6. Some of us ordered the banquet and others ordered from the menu. Both sets of people were absolutely blown away by the food and the service accompanying it. We would all particularly recommend the hot and sour soup, as well as the crispy seaweed (much better than any I have ever tasted). Again I want to mention how accommodating and welcoming the staff were in the restaurant. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely spectacular.

Following on from a negative experience at this establishment, my friend and I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it the benefit of the doubt. We returned ten nights later only to be served by the same rude and sullen waitress! Her attitude was shocking, we were also forced to endure similar behaviour from one of the waiters, who, when asked politely for a side dish, thought it was okay to unceremoniously slam the bowl in front of my friend, (the dish was intended for me), and walk off! Oh, and whatever you do, don't ask about ingredients used in the food, unless you enjoy being met with hostility. It's a real shame because this used to be a lovely place to dine, but now there's an awful atmosphere, I couldn't get out of there quick enough and my meal wasn't worth the money I paid either. If it's polite and courteous waiting staff you seek...AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! The star given in this review was for cleanliness.

Travelled over from Fife with Friends from Glasgow, as had always enjoyed meals here since the 70’s. So disappointed from the minute we stepped through the door. Our first interaction was to be greeted with ‘we need table back by 7pm’ no hello or welcome. Our table was already set with COLD tiny serving bowls. Our plates arrived to put on circular turning table. No warmers and food was lukewarm. The food at best was mediocre. Sadly the service from staff was poor - not once did we get a smile, food was planted down with no gesture of kindness or enjoy! How a previous customer could say staff attentive is beyond me, as that was certainly not our experience. We had brought our friends here thinking it would be something special as in the past, but actually felt embarrassed. There was absolutely no ambiance here. The only thing I can say in its favour is the decor was nice and had a spacious layout. I would give this place a miss there are far nicer welcoming restaurants in Edinburgh rather than the robotic service we received here.

I really cannot rate this restaurant high enough. The staff were amazing from the start. They greeted us at the door, took our name and number, temperature checked us then seated us with menus. Took a drinks order. Drinks arrived promptly. Our starters were on the table not long after us ordering. They cleared the table at every opportunity. It was never cluttered with anything. Bottles were taken away, used napkins. Everything was then replaced. They made sure we were enjoying our experience throughout. The food was absolutely stunning. Full of flavour. The plates were full of colour with the different vegetables served with the food. My partner devoured his duck curry, he said it was amazing so rich and full of flavour. We left completely satisfied and barely able to move from being so full. We had to skip on the desert as we had no room for one. Thank you all so much for making it a great experience.

We came here last night during our weekend away in Edinburgh and we are so glad we did! The restaurant is on a busy street and a little hard to find at first, but it was a hidden treasure! We got shown to our table straight away and ordered some drinks whilst we decided on food. The restaurant was clean, and tables were spread out well. The staff were attentive and friendly. We ordered - sesame prawn toast, satay skewers and salt and pepper chicken for starter and all three were delicious and you could tell had been freshly cooked! The meat wasn’t chewy. And the prawn toast had lots of prawns on! For main we got - chicken and black bean sauce, crispy shredded beef in chilli sauce, salt and pepper chips, egg fried rice and a portion of soft noodles. The beef was amazing! Not chewy at all or over cooked. All the dishes were packed full of flavour!! Totally recommend this place!! We will be back on our next trip to Edinburgh!

We ordered a takeaway from here whilst staying in Edinburgh for a few days and it did not disappoint. We had hot and sour soup and seaweed to start, the seaweed is delicious! Different to the normal seaweed we get from our local Chinese but the best we've ever had. Sweet and sour chicken and Singapore fried rice for main, both really tasty and good sized portions. We were also given free mini spring rolls and prawn crackers which was really kind. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will return when next in Edinburgh.

Had a lovely spur of the moment Chinese here yesterday. Wife got prawns with cashew nuts and chilli and I got szechuan chicken. We both got some soft noodles (ordered too many) and shared some fried rice. Food was absolutely delicious and service was friendly and prompt. Next time I'm in Edinburgh, I'll definitely return.

The welcome was ok not particularly friendly but busy probably. Food not very warm and came in 4 stages for 6 people so everything was cold but the time we could all eat together. None of the staff smiled whilst serving us. We were told when we asked to order a sweet as we hadn’t been offered that it would take ages as the kitchen was busy??? We ordered anyway but wish we hadn’t bothered as even that felt rushed. The bill was brought before the sweet and when we asked why we had the bill before the sweet we were asked if we still needed the sweet??? We were told as we were getting ready to leave they needed the table for the next people. They did supply plates and a knife to cut our birthday cake though which was nice. Overall we were really disappointed with the service the timing and lukewarm food. Sadly will not be back. Used to be a place to look forward to with family and friends but they just give the impression you are a bother to them and it’s uncomfortable. Spent £260 which is a lot of money for a Chinese meal to be let down. Nice and clean though and lots of space between tables which is good for covid. Chinese Manor House for us or Beijing banquet even Cosmo has great food.

Just back from my lunch. I read some reviews and initially thought some people were very hard to please given the number of very good reviews written, the restaurant was established over 50 years ago, so clearly in my head, must have been doing something right!. However now fully understand where these dissatisfied customers are coming from. I eat often in restaurants -lunch and dinner, what can I say. This is probably the worst meal I've eaten, the worst service ever and given the restaurant has been here well over 50 years, quite shocked at the calibre of the food and service which was zero!. On entering the restaurant we bumped into a guy on the stairs, who we thought was a customer. . He mentioned he was going out for a cigarette, entering the restaurant we wondered if there was any staff at all, no welcome whatsoever . To our horror the guy on the stairs was the guy who served us, totally unprofessional, extremely casual and not smart at all to be a waiter. He never said a word or offered any service at all. No simple thank you or any word was uttered, basically the food was dumped on the table! The meal, absolutely awful and the not of the standard from many years ago, when I used to go to the Rendezvous. Totally disappointed as our lunch was for a special occasion. Do these restaurants learn anything from these reviews, I'm not so sure. The meal was overpriced and definitely not value for money at £14.99. We certainly won't be returning!
