Dai Pai - Edinburgh, City of

A nice looking restaurant with room during the Fringe, sadly let down by a ramen with no flavour. Noodles and broth tasted of nothing, the beef was fine texture wise but also lacked seasoning, making for an overall underwhelming and bland meal. The vegetables were the only real flavour, but the lack of spice or onion meant the whole dish lacked in flavour depth. My partner liked their dishes more, but also wasn't blown away by the food. With so many great restaurants around the area selling ramen and noodle dishes, I'd recommend going elsewhere. Other dishes may be good, but the ramen was one of the worst I've ever had.

I've been coming here constantly for years. The atmosphere is relaxed the staff are lovely and the chicken curry noodle is one of the best things I've ever eaten, I love this place and every friend/family/date I've ever brought loves it too

I visited Edinburgh yesterday with a friend and we were on the lookout for a nice place to eat. Unfortunately, the restaurant we had in mind closed for lunch at 3pm. We decided to explore the area and stumbled upon a restaurant that caught our eye from the outside. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It offered a unique selection on the menu, with options I had never tried before. There were also several vegetarian choices, which was perfect for my friend who is a vegetarian. The dishes were served piping hot in bowls that kept them warm. I ordered a chicken and vegetable broth with a side of rice, which had just the right amount of spice. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and found them to be very filling. The food at the other tables also looked delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant was clean and cozy, which was a welcomed comfort on a cold day. We definitely plan on returning in the future, as it was truly worth the visit.

Loved the food, i had a rice cheese dish with seafood, partner had it with duck….sizzling hot and totally tasty. Free water for the table, clean if basic decor. Perfect for lunch or quick dinner.

Decor was brilliant but very odd to have to order at the bar and then take a seat. Wasn't a huge selection to choose from but what was ordered definately worked for me. The noodles were cooked to perfection although I would say the the broth worked well with it too. Only think I found odd was a side of raw string beans which kept catching on my throat. I did add to the broth for wasn't hot enough to cook so wasn't any different. Amazing place for a lunch but for an evening meal not so sure. Will try again
