went for a booked meal after a scotland rugby game, wrong dish arrived 4 times, food quality poor, in fairness manager gave 40% discount so credit where its due.

i don’t fancy it either, for authentic Chinese, I love Saigon Saigon, Wing Sing, Lee-on and Panda Inn.

Yes they are wrong! Service was average bordering on poor. Food was covered if not swinmming in oil. So dissapointed after booking a month in advance. Had better dumplings at bernard st, leith and the imperial palace. Don’t go. Your bottom will be numbed on ikea wooden chairs with no padding! Wine was good but waitress couldn’t answer any questions on the list . . . need i go on.

Took my wife out to Chop Chop after seeing a glowing review in the November 2009 edition of Foodies magaazine. The food was better than the usual Chinese sweet and sour gunge. Dishes were fresh and service attentive. For a cold, wet Sunday night the place was very busy. We both thought the dumplings were very good. The main meals were freshly prepared as was the fried rice. There were a few downsides to this place. Firstly, you are sitting in what can only be described as a worn out transport cafe - the place is very tired … sticky carpets, grotty furniture and the walls could do with a lick of paint. Some might find this part of the experience. Secondly, don’t sit near the entrance. Every time the door opened, a blast of cold air came rushing in. A number of other diners commented on this. Thirdly, avoid 7-8pm when the yummy mummies allow their badly behaved children to treat the place as their own -screaming the place down and running between the tables unchecked. Overall, the food is way above the normal standard but little or no ambiance. We wouldn’t rush back.

While in Edinburgh last month I was lucky enough to find Chop Chop.
What a delight to get great food at a very resonable price. I cant wait to visit again and have looked at some favoured Chineese Restaurants with distain since tasting the wonderful feast.

Visited Chop Chop about a month ago after hearing fab things from friends - and I was not dissapointed. Having been used to very average Chinese Restaurants around edinburgh - Chop Chop was an absolute delight. There was a big group of us so we went for a set menu. As we all know set menus can sometimes be a let down with quality and quantity - but not this time - the quality from the amazing sweet and savory dumplings through to crispy beef and various other mains was excellent and there was plenty. I am now a big Chop Chop fan and will be going back as soon as I can!

Was there under a week ago and had a fantastic meal, so so cheap and very nippy service. The food was obvisouly very authentic, slightly varied to what other chinese restaurants in Eeinburgh are serving. The food definetly has it’s own trademark.

Thanks for the review too!

Chop Chop is without a shadow of a doubt the best Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh if not Scotland. Keep an eye out for the owners son who also does a superb turn as a magician. Highly, highly recommended!
