222 Chinese Takeaway, 26 Bryson Road Edinburgh

222 Chineese Takeway has been open about 6 months and can be found on the north west junction of Bryson Road and Tay Street. The former Pizza takeaway can be easilly found - just follow the noise of the loud extractor fan.

Ordered Chiken and Pinapple, fried rice, chips and prawn crackers. Total waiting time 9 minutes. Total cost of £8.50.

Prawn Crackers - I could see the large container of pre-cooked crackers siting behind the desk so wasn’t expecting them to be freshly cooked. Not the bigest bag, but they tasted like prawns, so they were acceptable - 5/10.

Chips - the chips were tasty and lovely. 8/10 For chips from a Chineese.

Fried Rice - disapointed - basically boiled rice with a bit of soya sauce - 3/10.

Chicken and Pinapple - This was served in one of the larger plastic containers which is unusual. large chunks of chicken, a few bits of green and red pepper, and a wee bit of suace. Tasted ok, but I’m not a fan of large chuncks of chicken. Unfortunatly there wasn’t much sauce in the dish and not enough to cover the rice. 4/10

Would I use it again - probably not. Total raiting 5/10.

New Palace Chineese Takeaway

A wee Chineese Carry out just past the railway bridge on Dalry Road. It’s quite easy to miss it as it’s windows are smoked glass.

Ordered Chicken Cury, Boiled rice, Prawn Crackers and chips. Only had to wait arround 8 mins for the food so it was a good start. Total cost £8.

Started with the prawn crackers - they seemed to have been cooked to order and were warm. This is unlike other Chineeses where they appear to cook them in bulk at the start at the night - by the time you eat them they are cold and starting to solidify. 6/10

Chips - terrible. I won’t bother next time. French Fries style, over cooked, and rather cold. 1/10

Rice - perfectly edible. 6/10

Curry - a bit too hot for my taste but managed to eat half of it. Chicken was tender and tasty. 3/10 (because it was realy to hot for my taste)

Overage rating - 3/10

Would I be back? Probably - as it’s on my usual way home on a Saturday night. Might make another few purchases just to check, but will have to order something different.
