New China Town

New China Town — also listed as China Town Cantonese Restaurant — is a long-standing Cantonese restaurant and takeaway on Newington Road, part of the cluster of Chinese eateries that has earned this strip the nickname "Edinburgh's unofficial Chinatown" in local press. The Scotsman and the Good Food Guide have both noted the concentration of Chinese restaurants in this short stretch. Reviewers on multiple platforms praise the owner's warm welcome — "the lady who owns it is just lovely" — alongside consistently good Cantonese cooking. Regulars describe going on a "regular basis" because the food is "always great." Phone orders welcome; the restaurant has built its reputation on dine-in and collection rather than delivery platforms.
