B&D's Kitchen (Dalry)

• So the kitchen was working at a furious pace
• If ever there was an indicator of busy a night
• Then hakka beef with noodles to follow
• I was very happy to go with tea as my liquid accompaniment
• The hakka beef was an outstanding dish
• Tender and delicate that it was a test for my chopstick work to pick up the chunks without them falling apart
• The rich and meaty sauce was nicely spiced and expertly seasoned
• The noodle accompaniment was appropriately simple
• The pace of service was a touch pedestrian
• The quality of the dishes on offer was entirely pleasing
• Making it one of the best places I&rsquo
• My favourite is the coriander wonton's (first picture)
• The reason for this is I never like coriander
• Very worth the trip and try the specials too they are amazing and freshly made
• The atmosphere is always welcoming and the prices are very reasonable
• I can see why B&D's Kitchen (Dalry) has been voted best Chinese in Edinburgh
• The Hot Sand dishes are amazingly flavourful and Hakka Beef reminds me of something my granny might make
• The restaurant itself is teeny tiny
• The 1/2 aromatic duck is delicious and PLENTIFUL as a starter for two people
• I can only agree with all the previous reviews and say that this little place is an absolute gem
• The dumplings were pan fried then steamed so soft on top but still a little chewy bit on the bottom
• My chicken was lovely with the sauce not to thick with really fresh veg and had a little chilli heat too
• I have lived in the Dalry area for many years and seen several bog standard Chinese take aways come and go on the site where this restaurant is now located
• So pretty much on the spur of the moment we walked in on a Saturday evening to see if there was a table available
• Oven roasted garlic finely chopped with spring onions"
• What arrived were chunky nuggets of chicken in a dry crispy salty and spicy coating mixed with small pieces of (I guess) garlic and spring onions
• Simple boiled rice was my chosen accompaniment
• During the meal our waiter was chatty but not overly so and made sure we had enough rice and kept the chilled beer coming
• I went to this restaurant on the Valentines Day without reservation and although the restaurant is very small (it has no more than 20 places) I could fortunately get a table
• Vegetable spring rolls which were absolutely delicious and crunchy and vegetable dumplings that were amazing as well
• The main dish was Kung Po Chicken
• The Fried Rice was really nice too
• I think Fresh Lemon Water is way better
• I'm sure this is going to be one of my favourite chinese restaurants in Edinburgh
• The rush of warmth that hit us as we entered was a welcome relief from the chilly outside and we were offered our choice of table
• Glasses and bottle openers were offered for our BYOB beverages and a bowl of complimentary prawn crackers (the best I've had in Edinburgh
• All of which were delectable
• Stand outs included the prawns (I'm not a seafood person but these were cooked beautifully
• Very fresh and clean and had the most succulent sauce I think I've ever tasted covering them) and the sand chicken which was a little spicy but very tasty
• We ended the meal with dessert (somehow
• ) and left with full bellies and happy faces
• The tasting menu was a little on the expensive side but the regular menu is rather fairly priced
• B&D's Kitchen (Dalry) is a little gem nestled in the Dalry/Gorgie area that I would highly recommend and they do takeaway if you don't fancy dining in
