New Hot Pot

New Hot Pot on Slateford Road is a Chinese and Thai takeaway that has operated from this spot for a number of years. The kitchen runs a broad menu with Szechuan king prawn and Thai red king prawn curry among the dishes most noted in customer feedback, alongside the usual range of sweet and sour, chow mein, and fried rice. The shop offers free extras scaled to order size — prawn crackers from £13, mini rolls from £20, deep-fried chicken wings from £25, and BBQ ribs from £35. Closed Mondays; open from mid-afternoon through the evening Tuesday to Sunday. Delivery and collection available. The Restaurant Guru aggregate of 65 reviews puts it at 3.3/5, suggesting a workmanlike rather than outstanding kitchen, but regular reviewers note consistent quality on Szechuan and Thai dishes. Covers the Longstone, Slateford, and Kingsknowe catchments.
