Kweilin - Midlothian

Like going back in time, run down and in need of attention just 5 tables were occupied and 3 had issues. Nothing to keep the basic food warm, spare ribs came without a warm water finger bowl, asked and got a tiny bowl of stone cold water, had to chase drinks which had been forgotten (like the next table). Very pleasant staff but really have to watch what's going on in the restaurant NOT a complicated thing to fix and should be sooo much better. An experience we will not revisit at this

Gave this place a try as was passing by and was hungry. It doesn't look the cleanest and the place was frozen. Food was OK nothing more nothing less.

We ordered a takeaway for collection, customer service was fab and the food was ready within 15minutes. Since the orchid was taken over by new owners I haven’t been able to find a chinese in Midlothian that serves the same crispy shredded honey chilli chicken/beef! The dark colour with sesame seeds, sticky sauce with lots of honey and Garlic. I’ve come across Other places out with Midlothian but not ideal when you live here. We thought we’d order It and give it a try, also ordered chicken curry, boiled rice, salt and chilli chips and chow mien. The chow mien is greasy but really tasty. It looked great but once you start to tuck in you realise there’s more bean sprouts than noodles and that sort of ruins it for me personally. The chicken curry is pretty watered down flavour wise, not the best curry to be honest but it was okay. Salt and chilli chips were okay, tasted more of 5spice rather than that chilli and garlic taste I’ve had in most other places and there wasn’t the usual onions and chillis through them. Chips were crispy though which was nice! The rice is rice, done the job. And the crispy honey chilli shredded chicken was not crispy, it was soggy, large chunks so not shredded and tasted like a sweet and sour sauce which is like an orange red colour. The food was okay, I mean we ate it! But just nothing to write home about. The search for some decent crispy shredded honey chilli chicken continues.......

Really good food from here. Large portions, good price and v tasty. The sweet and sour sauce is NOT fluorescent pink/orange like some others!

Consistently best prepared and cooked Chinese takeaway food in area. Going to go at Xmas too. Everything top drawer.
