Great Cantonese comfort food when you've been traveling for a while. The dishes we tried were not only delicious with portions that were generous, making them perfect for sharing with family or friends. Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised by a delightful complimentary dessert that perfectly rounded off our meal, along with some fresh oranges (forgot to take pic) that added a refreshing touch.

I was shown in with a very polite waiter ready to serve. Gave recommendations and was delighted to find the honey roasted pork, steamed chicken, mixed vegetables with white rice are authentic and good Chinese food. Kevin paused to even chat. The food came together and quickly from the kind waitresses. They even gave us sago yam and a sweet orange as dessert. Do drop in and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing Chinese food, great service. Absolutely one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to in Scotland! Definitely recommend.

I highly recommend the place. The food was great. Also, a clean place, a clean toilet and very efficient staff. I have never tried a steamed fish before, but how happy I was with my choice of having the steamed Sea bass with ginger, spring onion, and boiled rice with it. How delicious! I ate it all- no lunch so 1 meal for the day! The staff were so attentive, and you are given a fruit at the end as well. I come from Denmark, so I have not been happy about the automatic addition of a tip in Edinburgh's restaurants- we do not have this American type culture. But the staff for this restaurant deserved it. I hope they keep up the good work!!

We’ve been traveling in UK for 2 weeks We found the best Chinese foods in Edinburgh Foods so fresh like roasted duck, BBQ pork, steamed chicken with garlic sauce, steamed fish and stir fried vegetables. 5 stars to service take work as a team work. All customers in restaurants so happy to eat at Jimmy Express.

Absolutely loved it! We had a birthday dinner for our Mum here tonight after reading great reviews. If I could give 6 stars out of 5 I would. Incredible authentic food, fabulous service- they really go out of their way. Fun atmosphere - highly recommended!

I saw the reviews and I couldn’t help but walk all the way there from the other side of the city centre to try! Upon entering the place was very clean, tidy and the music was the perfect volume. The aesthetic is also very modern and fancy for a casual dine in. The boss there seems very passionate about running the place right and he’s got the perfect team behind him. I ordered the beef brisket, chicken noodles and HK sweet and sour chicken. Every single thing I ordered was so delicious and the beef brisket was no joke! It’s the most amazing beef brisket I’ve ever had. Customer service was excellent and staff served promptly! I’m very glad I visited this place, it’s my first time in Edinburgh and I hope to come back again! Thank you
