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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The plate my food was on had a chip out of it and a crack across the middle, I was so hungry i thought i would just try and enjoy the food, till my partners dish arrived with a bowl of rice, the first spoon...of rice had a long black hair hanging dangling from it, when this was shown to the waiter he took it away and replaced it. We finished our food and we were not offered any discount or even a complimentary coffee or desert. This place needs professionals to sort out the disgusting toilets area. Shambles !More

What a little gem in the West End of Edinburgh. Sublime food and a lovely atmosphere made for faultless solo experience. The only thing other people need to be aware of is that it is non-licensed restaurant, so you need to bring your own bottle!!

From the outside looks interesting. Very busy restaurant and in a poor condition Clients waiting, some left. Not organized, the responsible person for this was treated the employees bad. Had PHO noodle soup with Tofu and a dessert. Food was more or less. Then I...see something that is absolut a no go and in my country close the restaurant. They had a bucket on the floor with their noodles that they took with there hands directly in the wok when they made the dishes.More

Oh wow was this an awesome find. We got into Edinburgh mid afternoon on a Sunday which is always a tough time to find things that are open. We love Vietnamese food so this was an easy decision. We started with the vegetable spring rolls...and then I moved on to the steamed chicken/shrimp/mushroom glutinous rice in lotus leaf. The hubs went with the chicken pho. I’d never had my dish before and I will be looking for this back in the states. Service was really fast and friendly and I’d absolutely recommend coming here if you are in Edinburgh.More

This spot is a gem. It was like eating at the owner's house and the food was authentic, fresh, and can cure what ales you. The staff seems to know when you might want/need something before you even ask for it. We were very impressed....It is a small restaurant and it is recommended to make a reservation.More

A great place for a meal with friends. Generous portion sizes - I was pretty full after my Vietnamese spring roll starter which was lovely and fresh. Staff were friendly but not pushy which was great. My friends also enjoyed their meals, I think we'll...be back!More

This was our second visit to this restaurant. Agree the food is tasty and its well supported by the Asian community which is always a good sign. Two things bothered me this time, firstly the prices have jumped significantly. Our lunch for 2 was expensive...and that included a main course each, one shared started and 2 soft drinks. Also when we left I really wanted to use the bathroom. It is situated where they prepare the drinks and can be seen from many tables, I couldn’t bring myself to use it. It really should be moved.More

A great place to enjoy Vietnamese food, especially a good bowl of Pho. Efficient service, well-presented food, good value for money. A 4 minute walk from Haymarket Station.

First time here in Edinburgh and we decided to go for this Vietnamese restaurant. We made reservations. Many Asian people found there way to this restaurant and with a good reason. The service and food is very good. Extremely fresh ingredients, quick and all in...a good price range. I can recommend it to everybody.More

Ordered online on Friday night, no confirmation email or site confirmation but payment was taken. I called and asked why no confirmation, they said system was down and no order had come through. I told them payment had been taken and she just repeated that...I would have to reorder. I did not as I had already spent over £30. I assumed their broken system would refund the payment as the order was not confirmed (I have screenshots of this). I then received a confirmation email after my requested collection time and after I had made other arrangements (more than 90 mins after my original order and follow up call). I called them, assuming they would rectify. They refused to refund, didn't acknowledge the ordering system was down and repeatedly hung up on me. Took my money though. Thieves and liars. Avoid.More

They put chicken in the vegetarian lotus rice option - this has happened twice. Once when I dined in and once when I ordered online via deliveroo. Wouldn’t recommend going if you are veggie as they put chicken in the “vegetarian” options. Tried to request...a refund for this via deliveroo and it was refused so I wouldn’t waste money on ordering food from here againMore

Excellent food and decent sized portions, if a bit pricey. Have dined here a few times over the years - it's usually busy, often can't get a table, but last night our group was lucky and we all went home well fed. It's a BYOB...- corkage is £3 a head - but there are a few nearby off-licences. Good choice and dishes are authentic, prices have gone up significantly since last visit but that's true in many places.More

West End
Prevailing winds meant that most cities that grew in
industrial Britain had their most desirable
neighbourhoods to the west – upwind of factory fumes.
Edinburgh was no exception, with its wealthiest
citizens settling in its West End and leaving behind
grand Georgian townhouses, private gardens and genteel
crescents. These backstreets remain as dignified and
sleepy as ever, and most of the action here lies along
