I love this place. We order from here when ever we fancy something nice. The only thing is the portion size off chicken curry. Literally a kids size. So you NEED to pay for extra chicken or u will be disappointed. But always taste good

Very much enjoyed this. We're a super fussy family and have been looking for a decent Chinese since moving to Edinburgh, Mr So was our fith attempt at our monthly Chinese takeaway and I'm so glad I chose to give Me So a try. Food was absolutely delicious! Salt and chilli stuff wasn't caked in overpowering salt and everything was just so soft and delicate. Chicken cooked to perfection that just melts. No chewy meat anywhere! Not to mention the staff are lovely and the takeaway building itself is very modern and lovely and clean! See you next month for our monthly Chinese 🤣

Short 10 minute wait outside after ordering in store. Spring roll was well filled and crispy, shredded chicken with sweet chilli was tasty, sweet and sour chicken was okay but sauce was very MSG heavy, and rice and prawn crackers were both good. Overall, a decent takeaway option in the area, and a good option since the change in ownership at the Loon Wa. Will visit again.

Was blown away by the value for money and just how tasty all the food was! We made a fairly standard order, but were given spring rolls and prawn crackers for free and our order was delivered half an hour before expected. Definitely worth checking out!

Consistently good food. However you’re not legally allowed to charge 50p for transactions on card anymore. Nor should you handle my card when I pay. It appears to be so I don’t use contactless for whatever crazy reason. Need to modernise your payment methods.

Used Mr So for 6 years...I work at the RIE this is the Chinese we use at least twice a month when on night shift. Never had a bad meal, used between two different wards with at least 50 members of staff. Best Chinese in Edinburgh. Usually order prawn toast, crispy shredded chicken chilli honey sauce, chicken chow main, spice and salted chips, bbq sauce and egg fried rice. Share the meals between 4-6 of us. Good portions lots of flavour. Delivery is always on time too.
