May Sum Chinese Takeaway

May Sum is a Chinese takeaway on Craigentinny Road, serving the residential estate east of Easter Road. The kitchen covers a broad Chinese menu with Cantonese staples alongside Malaysian, Thai-influenced and Peking dishes — a wider range than most neighbourhood Chinese takeaways in Edinburgh's east end. The shop is available through Deliveroo and Just Eat, and takes orders online. Craigentinny Road runs through the post-war housing estate developed between Easter Road and the coast, and May Sum replaced the earlier New China that had traded at the same address. The Craigentinny catchment is predominantly residential with limited eating-out options beyond the cluster on this stretch of road, giving the takeaway a captive local customer base. A food hygiene inspection in November 2023 was completed at this address, and the kitchen continues to operate as the main Chinese option for the Craigentinny area.
