Well apart from having my ears assaulted by the same song in mandarin on repeat.. with the requisite 'skip' in the soundtrack... the food was really nothing spectacular and not the least bit authentic.. tho the forks and spoons on the tables in place of chopsticks was a dead giveaway for the "authenticity".. The decor is 'sparse' to say the least.. the one waiter put on some weird accent and tried to be all chummy.. "how was that, pal? enjoy that buddy? etc."... then proceeded to ask us where in America we were from.. uhhh... we're NOT?! Then he was like.. so where are you from then? But threw in "Europe? Canada?" before we'd had a chance to answer.. then when D finally managed to say "Edinburgh" the waiter seemed to lose interest completely and we pretty much got the cold shoulder for the rest of the meal... WTF?? He then proceeded to offend someone else at a table which was behind me, all I heard was him apologising repeatedly to the woman who at one stage slapped the table! All the main dishes were far too heavily flavoured.. the chicken & cashew in yellow bean sauce and mixed veg were far too salty.. the sweet & sour pork too vinegary.. it was a good thing the mixed fried rice was pretty bland along with the prawn & green pepper.. Highlight was probably the banana fritter for dessert although the nondescript syrup it came with was too sweet... We ate here out of desperation & convenience.. I've been right not to set foot in this place in the 4 years I've live in Edinburgh and I don't see myself setting foot in here again....
