What a beautiful place. Fairy lights and lanterns on the ceiling and gorgeous wall paper. The staff brilliant. The food very tasty. The salt and chilli ribs super yum. Very kindly provided with extra fortune cookies at the end of the meal and after starters provided with the cute little hand wipes with the Chinese animal years on the packaging. Very much recommend this place and the location is brilliant if you have just been to the zoo especially or are staying in the holiday Inn as we was. Hidden gem

Such an amazing find! The best Chinese food I've had in Edinburgh. The meat is so tender, the staff and atmosphere are absolutely outstanding. Would definitely recommend. My friends and I loved it so much, we were the last to leave.

Enjoyed a delicious meal here. Good menu choice with plenty of different options to choose from. Service was prompt with friendly and welcoming staff. Food was served piping hot and the portion sizes were very generous. Nice decor and very comfortable environment. Would definitely visit again next time I'm in Edinburgh.

I visited Edinburgh over the weekend in October and Cool Jade was my first stop. It’s so hard finding good Gluten Free takeaways, especially a Chinese. This was so tasty! And the staff here were very friendly and helpful. I haven’t had sweet & sour Cantonese style in almost 10 years so I was over the moon. Highly recommend this Chinese. I can’t wait to return this year. See you again soon!

We enjoyed everything offered in Cool Jade - food, wine and hospitality. Great Cantonese cuisine, I wouldn’t refer the dishes as 100% authentic but we have just been satisfied with the quality, and the choices of compliments with the meat could not be more apt. Don’t miss the ice-cream, they are brilliant! Most staff could speak Cantonese, and they were very welcoming.

I’ve had takeaway and sat in! Both offer delightful meals. The food is amazing. I’ve had the satay, duck pancakes, sweet and sour chicken and gumbo! The thing that stands out with the flavour is the quality of the meat! Honestly, it’s top top quality which I really loved! I have been back and will continue to go back! It’s my go to in Edinburgh! 10/10

The place is really nice looking in the inside, very fast service we ordered our food and in like 5 mins they were already bringing our food out! it’s a nice atmosphere also. It was for 2 people and it cost about 30 pounds.

We went to Cool Jade after a recommendation from a neighbour and were thoroughly impressed! The restaurant has a great, relaxed atmosphere, and the staff were perfect- friendly, welcoming and very helpful, without being overbearing at all. Most importantly, the food was fantastic. Our table of eight ordered the banquet, with mixed appetisers followed by eight main dishes to share. They were all delicious. I was really impressed by how well balanced the flavours were in every dish, the chefs here obviously really know what they're doing. The lemon chicken was so fresh and zesty, and I loved the lamb with ginger and spring onion, and the duck in plum sauce We'll definitely be back!
