Xiang Bala Hotpot - Edinburgh, City of

The food was delicious and affordable. There were plenty of choices and we really enjoyed our meal. The interior is simple but nice. We will definitely return the next time we visit Edinburgh.

Decided to check this place out as we love hot pot. The draw was all you could eat. But found once you ticked your sheet for the first round of items it was difficult to get extra items. You had to call over the staff was difficult to communicate what we were after as we were sure of the proper name of some of the mushrooms and such like. Would of been simpler to issue the order sheets again. Found the seafood was still frozen so have to cook longer in the broth. Ticked Chinese leaf but got cos lettuce instead.Quite a small restaurant, we had booked in advance. The options were minimal, expended more to pick from. Wouldn't go here again as the service was lacking and left waiting about in between . Which ruined the experience. At £22 at head it was expensive for half the experience we expected. When we asked for the bill , they took our glasses away even tho there were still drinks in them. Did not ask if we were finished with them, as we wanted to finish them while the bill came.

Glad we tried this, we were given a menu and we were unsure how much we could order-the staff said whatever we wanted. So we ticked off what we wanted. We had two types of broth. Plenty of food, we had refillable cola. Food was lovely and staff were friendly when we were unsure. Cash only-we went at the weekend and paid £21.50 per person and £3 each for a refillable cola.

Very tasty, staff were super friendly and for £20 the amount of food we got was an absolute bargain! Would definitely recommend and will be going back it's cash only though so be prepared for tha
