Goodwill

Goodwill Chinese Carryout has been on Newington Road since 1974, making it one of Edinburgh's oldest continuously trading Chinese takeaways and a fixture in what local press and the Good Food Guide have called the city's unofficial Chinatown strip. The menu covers the standard Cantonese range and the kitchen runs late — Monday to Thursday to midnight, Friday to Saturday to 1am, Sunday to midnight — serving the student and late-night population of Newington and the surrounding EH9 streets. Main dishes run to around £8. The longevity here is the story: over fifty years on the same stretch of Newington Road, serving generations of Edinburgh University students and local residents who have made it part of the fabric of south Edinburgh's food scene.
