STACK Dim Sum Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Had a fantastic lunch, great service and amazing food. First time I tried chicken claws and they where very tasty! Id love to come back!
A tiny dim sum restaurant with about 10 tables. But the quality of the food is the best in Edinburgh. The Cheung fun beef and the squid cakes are superb. But all the food is authentic and good. They also do congee, pot rice and various noodles. This is a dim sum house so don't expect normal Chinese restaurant food.
Came here on a date night after finding it on google maps. Wow what a lovely little hidden gem off of Leith Walk. We are currently on a food journey exploring different authentic cuisines and Stack Dim Sum was just that! We tried the Char Siu Bun- which was fluffy and sweet and succulent. Slow Braised Chicken Claw in Black Bean- which was flavourful, succulent again and different! The Vietnamese spring roll was one of our favourites which came with fresh lettuce on the side. The wager crispy prawn soya skin roll was served with Worcestershire sauce and had delicious prawn inside! My favourite was the Slow Braise Cubed Beef in rich chi hou sauce with noodles! All food came fast, fresh and very hot! Atmosphere is quiet and almost private but for a date night it’s lovely to just sit and eat and enjoy your meal together! Altogether with two coca-colas was 37! Very reasonable, lovely staff, definitely will come back with a bigger crowd!
Oooh really good dim sum! Everything we had ordered was on point, especially the highly recommended braised pork and preserved veg steam pot rice! The pork belly was meltingly soft and it’s sauce went so well with the steamed rice which had absorbed the umami flavour of the beautiful fat and the preserved veg gave the perfect saltiness and crunch to cut through the richness of the dish. The service was super friendly and seating by really cosy, so the owners were very personable, chatting with us and giving us great recommendations. We could see that all the tables around us had happy smiles on all the faces as we all keep reaching for the menu to order more and more dishes after eating each delicious morsel. The only negative was the Quick fried beef hot fun which although was ok tasty, was a tad oily and there were still chunks of the rice noodles that were stuck together. The dish was lackluster and I felt it could have been done with more beef (small thin pieces that were abiT overcooked) and noodles looser (not in chunks) But overall, def a great place! Next time I wanna try all their Steam pot rice!!
Excellent home-made dim sum. Delicious. Good service. Small restaurant. No service charge. Still a great restaurant offering a good range of dim sum. Enjoyed the fried beef hofun today.
What a great surprise this dim sum bar was! Really good authentic cooking. Everything came out quickly, in a timely way, and piping hot. Very tasty, we all loved it and would definitely go back. Reasonably priced for the fantastic quality it was.
Absolutely amazing Dim Sum. So authentic. And a real Dim Sum Chef. If you have lived in Asia and miss good Dim Sum then this place is a must!
Everything was delicious and quickly served. The place is medium-sized and can seat quite a few people. Affordable food and good-sized portions ideal for sharing (or keep it all for yourself ). There was only one person working on the floor when we were there and the service wasn’t the quickest - but it could have just been one of those days. Overall, I recommend.
