China Star Restaurant is a family run Chinese restaurant at 6A West Maitland Street near Edinburgh Haymarket. Serving the area since 1997, it offers a relaxed setting for casual dinners, family meals and groups, with lunch service as well as evening dining on most days of the week.
The opening selection includes sesame prawn toast, salt and chilli chicken wings, ribs, spring rolls and satay skewers. Dim sum choices such as handmade beef bao, har gow and siu mai give a table several small dishes to share before moving on to the main courses.
Duck, chicken, lamb, pork and seafood form the core of the broad menu. Crispy aromatic duck, Mongolian crispy lamb, wok fried noodles and seafood in black bean sauce sit alongside curries, sweet and sour dishes and other familiar Cantonese favourites.
Fried rice, chow mein, soups, tofu and vegetable dishes make it possible to build a varied meal across different tastes, while the bar offers beer, wine and cocktails. Delivery and takeaway remain available, but table bookings and dine in service give China Star the atmosphere of a long established neighbourhood restaurant.
