    Not the easiest place to find but worth it when you get there. Food was very good, large portions and very reasonably priced. Only have house wine by the glass. They also have a cocktail menu & these are ok but you are not going for the cocktails it's the lovely food! Will be returning!

    Starters were shared with the group and they were really tasty. Portions are generous for the mains and we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

    Not many people as it was a very rainy night. Ambiance good and staff very efficient. There were four of us and for our main course we would have been satisfied with three main meals to share as each portion was a little too big, even although we only picked one portion of rice and one of noodles to share. We had three courses, all very appetising. Staff continually topped up our water glasses, which was nice as the food was spicy. All in all we had a very nice meal.

    Nanyang at the Quartermile is lovely space serving very good food from all over Asia and Malaysia. The menu is extensive. The crispy duck was outstanding. Service could be better and I hope they get a crew that not only speaks English but understands the menu and can talk about it.

    This restaurant is just off Lauriston Place and I'm delighted I discovered it. I've been a number of times when attending shows in town the most recent being after a Fringe show at the Underbelly. It has an extensive menu, delicious food and very attentive staff. Highly recommended.

    We ate here on our recent trip to Edinburgh. The food was good and authentic, service was good and the bill didn't break the bank. Would return.
