Kweilin Cantonese Restaurant in Edinburgh

Great foodand service but decor needs updating

Delicious authentic Chinese cuisine!! Great, friendly service! Highly recommend!!

We arrived to be shown into a small CHILLY room with only space for two tables, the staff came through to use the bar, the patrons to use entrance to the toilets! From arrival it took 40 minutes for 2 starters, my wafer paper prawns were greasy, spare ribs were chewy. The mains, lemon chicken and king prawns were nice, but very disappointing, I mentioned cold room to no avail.

As a Hongkonger, this restaurant is giving you an authentic Cantonese style dishes! Very delicious and very budget! Very good service...what else? Mm... I'll go back to have other dishes.

Covid having robbed me of two of my favourite Edinburgh Chinese restaurants, this long-time stalwart of the genre beckoned. Why I had never got round to trying Kweilin before, who knows; maybe rumours of above average pricing played their part. True, prices are slightly above the Edinburgh average, but, goodness me, the high quality of the product more than justifies the price. Lemon chicken in a crispy coating that defies turning soggy in the course of the meal is a rarity that Kweilin has mastered. Spare ribs are among the meatiest I have ever tasted and, for once, they were complemented, not drowned, by their barbecue sauce. The welcoming room has a simple but upmarket take on chinoiserie. Service is impeccable.

Food was lovely, staff were very helpful and made us feel Covid safe. Decor was traditional. We had a fantastic meal, thank you!

Delicious food, great service, very clean and 'safe' feeling.

Absolutely delicious Chinese Cuisine. I always dine at this restaurant when I visit Edinburgh. The service is fantastic, the food is wonderful and the price in not overly expensive for the quality of the food you receive. Its well worth a visit if you live locally or are visiting Edinburgh from afar.

Amazing restaurant. The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful. The food is devine! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. They also have a Chinese menu which offers traditional Chinese dishes.

Decent place but nothing very special.Friendly service but not overly so (although the waitress from Georgia is very charming)Foods good but not exceptional.I give it four stars as it's survived in this city for god knows how many years.
