Have to disagree with the reviewer here. I've been getting Chinese takeaways for years and have tried every single one in my area (literally). The Ping On is up there with the best of them. I'd recommend the salt and chilli ribs/ squid whilst they do one of the best Yung Chow fried rices I've had. Service is amazingly fast sometimes 15 minutes from call to door! Reasonable prices too.

We used to love this Chinese and following a move away from stockbridge we found ourselves still driving on occasion to get a decent takeaway from this place. However, we've not been there for about a year and decided to go on the 1st Jan as a new year treat, unfortunately this was the most awful chinese meal we have ever had - what happened ping on?? We actually took photos of our meals to post on trip adviser etc. The rice was obviously old, stored in boxes and turned into large mush balls....we cannot estimate how long it had been prepacked - maybe days. The food itself just smelled wrong, old and tired. Unfortunately, I have to back up the previous comment, its a real shame as I used to preach about this place but won't ever be back.

Crap. Just utter crap.
Ordered takeaway over the phone, despite them repeating my order back to me when I arrived a dish was missing. No apology given so I just stood waiting for 5-10mins while they went to make it. Got the food home to discover they had made the WRONG dish. Further my partner had 'crispy' chilli beef which was almost inedible. Firstly not crispy at all, secondly the strongest taste was flour and sweaty socks beef that was obviously poor quality. I had chow mien, which was too salty to eat.
I know from friends that this used to be a great Chinese, in my opinion it no longer is. I would rather eat a pot noodle. I will not be using them again and would advise anyone to take their money elsewhere.

What a load of nonsense. The Ping On is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh, I should know as I have been using it for 24 years and have appreciated the continuity when it changed hands twice. Never ever have I had a meal that has been less than perfect. My hobby is eating in restaurants, the Ping On is still my NO 1.
