Kwok Brasserie

Kwok Restaurant on Ratcliffe Terrace is widely regarded as one of the better Chinese dining options in south Edinburgh. The Sluurpy score sits at 86/100 across ratings from TripAdvisor (4.5/5), Google (4.3/5) and Facebook (4.8/5), with Restaurant Guru aggregating 303 reviews at 4.2/5. Salt chilli squid and dim sum are the dishes reviewers single out most, with crispy spring rolls, cha siu bao and an aubergine hotpot also praised. The restaurant is known for generous portions and fresh ingredients, with a liberal use of garlic characteristic of the kitchen's Northern Chinese influences. The room is unpretentious — paper tablecloths and a neighbourhood feel — but the food is consistently well above takeaway standard.
