Saiko Kitchen - Edinburgh

Really yummy food. Cute place, fun vibe, friendly staff. Prices were average, maybe a bit high. There were small plates that were nice for appetizers. Only complaint is that the ice cream cake takes a long time because they have to let it thaw, which they did not warn us about.

Best takeaway Pad Thai I've had. Too often dishes like Pad Thai arrive home in a bit of a stodge. This was fresh, aromatic and visually appealing. First time we went they had gone a bit heavy handed with the fish sauce which was a bit disappointing. Second time we went I asked for less fish sauce and they were happy to oblige. Delicious. The rice paper rolls with guava were delightful. We've not eaten in, but the atmosphere inside when we collected food was relaxed and inviting.

I like Saikō. It's a cosy little place serving no-nonsense oriental food of perfectly good quality, quickly and reasonably priced. In my few, recent visits I never found it full or noisy. Waiters are nice and smily. Ideal for impromptu dinners when u don't feel like cooking, for a chat with a friend. Try the ramen duck soup, for instance: good approximation of the genuine article I had in my visits to Japan, good quantity, good taste. Recommended.

It's a small but clean. The waiting time was insanely short. Both my friend and I ordered a tofu pad thai for takeaway and the taste was great. However i'd say the portion was a bit small for the price!

Good value for delicious food. could use more greens and thin cut meat for a more authentic experience. fish cake a bit chew, but good. very good service.
