STACK Dim Sum Bar Restaurant in Edinburgh

Reviews

1. Yizhou Wu ★★★★☆

   Food is reasonably priced for the good standard. Beef horfun didn't have too much beef, but the wok hey soy sauce aroma was on point. Noodles were abit too thick and slight dry inside, but overall it's decent Har gow was excellent. Skin was good, nice crunch from the bamboo shoots, flavourful filling that's the firmest I've had, and properly flavourful, which is rare even in Asia. Must try Pan fried Chive dumplings skin wasnt good, filling average too Meican kouroufan was not bad, it's quite different from the Chinese style but it's pretty well executed, and esp the sweet soy sauce was very authentic Ckn claw was tender but the flavour was not standard, more peppery. It's ok Xiaolongbao is ok for Edinburgh, skin was good but no sauce inside Overall very high standards for Edinburgh, worth a try. Har gow is a must try even for hongkongers. Good enough to ignore their cash only rule(not even WeChat which is super weird) Second visit: Tingzai porridge pretty good, some cheap ingredients but overall decent standard Hargow good as ever Siu mai tasteless Spicy bean curd sauce steamed ckn was very plain, exceptionally weak beancurd sauce Pork ribs ckn claw rice was ok, the ingredients not very generous and the toppings weren't too quality, a lot of rice given, but everything is made ok by their excellent accompanying sauce which is super umami

   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.

   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!!

   Hidden gem in Edinburgh. Dim Sum really tasty and you can tell it’s home made.

   I like Asian food, I am a fond explorer of every possible food related to any possible culture. I spent the night actually being sick after eating at this restaurant, I won't bother getting a refund since it's cash paid... May that be the reason? I'm sad I have to put this review, a couple of dishes were actually decent, the others feel like they are not even trying; after going to the atm just to eat here we felt a bit cheated on. The noodles with broth was tasteless and I think I tasted better broth made with stock cubes. Some of the dumplings didn't feel good, had no taste and the consistency made me nauseous. The miss (owner, and/or waitress) is not the most expansive, I would suggest someone actually not bothered to take care of two tables and being ok answering questions or receiving payment (we felt like we were bothering even giving the money) I personally avoided, but the friend dining with me left the toilets kind of gutted You can say that: it's cheap. Though I've been eating better for cheaper.

   Good dim sum, some stuff obviously not fresh but some good. Overall, the best you can expect in Scotland at this price point. Lost a star because of the lack of cleanliness, I mean how difficult is it to hoover the floor before the first customer of the day comes in? The bluntness of the lady who runs it is very normal in Hong Kong where I’ve lived, but not as polite as we’d expect in Scotland. She did however offer the wee baby at the table next to us an Easter egg, which shows she’s caring, albeit very direct.

   Only cash place. Inside of feelings are heavy and delicious. Finally I found favorite dimsum place in Scotland. However other menus are just okay.
