* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

A second branch of Glasgow’s South East Asian restaurant in the swanky new St James Quarter development, which opened in March 2022. It opened too late in the year to generate any feedback in our annual diners’ poll but in April 2022 The Scotsman’s Gaby Soutar declared herself “very happy that Edinburgh has its own Ka Pao”, finding it “one of my favourite food premises in the building”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Great takes on asian flavours including the use of Arbroath Smokie. Corn ribs should not be missed. Great care taken to ensure that allergies were looked after."
