Scrummy - Edit
Scrummy food, lovely and piping hot. Good options to choose from.
Read moreWe had the Laksa, Gan Lau mee and the special tofu along with the Mapo tofu which was delicious. I really enjoyed the Char Sui in my Gan Lau mee and at first I thought it looked like a small portion but actually it was the right amount of noodles. Yeah I really love a good amount of food 😆. My husband had the special tofu which was nice enough but he thought it was too expensive for two fried stuffed tofu and tender stem broccoli. We also had the salt and pepper chips which didn’t taste like it had any seasoning but just fried with peppers and a little lemongrass.
Staff were overall friendly although we did feel rushed by one member of staff as she quickly cleared bowls as soon as she thought someone had finished. We had only been in there for about 45 minutes so we certainly weren’t holding a table up. However food was spot on and we would definitely return. Make sure you book though as it’s very busy.
Pros: Great food, All vegan
Cons: We felt rushed by one member of staff

Really good laksa - Edit
100% vegan! We got the laksa, BBQ combination, and the fried tofu. The laksa was really flavourful, all portions were generous. The seitan in the laksa and BBQ combo was a little softer than I prefer still very delicious. The fried tofu was nice but lacked a bit of flavour, still no regrets - and the broccoli it comes with was perfect.
Read moreQuick, friendly service. Definitely recommend - but make sure you book. The space is small and it’s frequently full. If you can’t get in for dinner, it’s worth going for lunch since the menu is the same.
Also reasonable prices for Edinburgh considering the size and quality.
Wish we would have had room for dessert! Something to look forward to next time 😁
Pros: Laksa, Service speed and friendliness, Portion sizes are generous
Cons: Deep fried tofu only okay

A must try Asian cuisine - Edit
Food is awesome. Serving is generous. Complimentary cold drinking water. The Katsu Curry Rice with King Oyster Mushroom is not very spicy. King Oyster Mushroom is thick and juicy and coated with a crispy crust. Laksa noodles slightly spicy. It has thick and rich coconut milk gravy accompanied with okra, beans sprout, gyoza, bean curd, char siew. Gan Lau Mee aka dried noodles with unique black sauce accompanied with chilli paste and char siew (mock roasted meat with crispy crust) and gyoza. Love it's char siew as it does not taste gluten. I think it's made of soy. If you do not take alliums, do request to omit the spring onions that came with the Laksa Noodles and Gan Lau Mee (dried noodles) as garnishing.
Read moreGreat customer service. Staff speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Nice ambience. Clean washrooms.
It's a small restaurant. Reservation is recommended as the eatery has very limited tables. We happen to walk-in without realising it requires reservation however we were lucky to secure a table as we reached 30 mins right after they opened. Since the dinner crowd haven't set in, we still have a grace period of 1.5 hour to finished our meal. Bus 14 reaches the restaurant which is 1 min away.

Nice place with great food - Edit
I was curious about Malaysian cuisine and in this case it was amazing experience. I strongly recommend table reservation, because the place is often full - this info is from the owner. I had amazing flower tea,Lau Mee and Gyoza as a starter. All was delicious and very nicely prepared. Prices are little bit high and it is worth it. If you don’t know what kind of food malaysian cuisine is offering check ahead their menu because there are no pictures or food descriptions.
Read morePros: Service , Food quality , Taste of the food is absolutely amazing
Cons: Price , No meals descriptions

A lovely afternoon - Edit
We came here for a birthday lunch, and had such a great time! We were made to feel welcome straight away, and everyone was so friendly. The food was absolutely amazing. Crackers and sweetcorn fritters for starter, and a beautiful kung po with fried rice. Great value too, what a lovely place :)

Delicious vegan experience! - Edit
We went to Soul Vegan on a Friday night, thinking we had a reservation for that night. Unfortunately, we had messed up the booking and booked for the next night! Luckily, the person who seemed to be in charge was so nice and fixed a table for us! The waiter didn’t make it feel like we had to leave quickly either, even though the place was full.
Read moreWe had a great night, and the food made it absolutely perfect! We loved everything served to us! The portions were quite big as well.
