This was honestly fantastic, the food is so good!First, service. Our server was so lovely, gave us time to decide and had some great recommendations. Really friendly & nice. We got the booth at the back, which was perfect for 5 of us.Second, the drinks. We shared a couple of bottles of wine, the Italian red is definitely serviceable, not wow but pretty good!The food, however, is so good! We shared veggie and meat options. For starters, we shared the sezchuan oyster mushrooms (vg), corn on the cob, & pork belly salad (all very good), but the fried chicken was definitely the highlight.Mains we tried a range of curries: the lamb shoulder curry, cauliflower (vg), chicken leg, and the scallop & pork belly special. All were very good, the chicken being a particular highlight. We had 3 x steamed rice & the cucumber salad, which was lovely & fresh.I'd definitely recommend for sharing with a group and recommend the booth at the back of you can! Would love to go again.2 bottles of wine, about 10 sharing plates & 2 desserts was £170-ish

Something interesting with Southeastern-Asian spice and herbs, tasted fusion to me as I could not tell where exactly the dishes were originated from. I have been to Ka Pao a few times but recently the dishes went quite salty losing the delicate touch before. Hope that was just one isolated case and not a change of their recipes.

On 11th November, my wife and I visited this restaurant at St James quarter. Although we saw this restaurant, we never visited there. All staffs were very kind! All our ordered cuisines were also very good! Very much looking forward to visiting again to this restaurant soon. Thank you!

Lovely South East Asian inspired menu served tapas style. They also offer a children's menu with chicken or fish and rice. It is a little on the expensive side but every dish was tasty.

We went in recently because we didn’t have anywhere else booked for a Sunday lunch and didn’t have any high expectations. Definitely was blown away by the food here. This is the type of asian food that you get in Asia! Kudos to the chef! The service was also great and they were so helpful with allergies.

The Ka Pao is a restaurant features south eastern Asian cuisine. The dishes served are a bit unusual (at least to me which made me interested in visiting) and the choice is not extensive - which is a good sign that the quality will be good.You can opt to have several smaller dishes rather than the convention of having a starter and main meal. This gives the chance of trying more dishes - I recommend this.It is in the St James Centre but its location is tucked away and easily passed by but is worth the effort of seeking it out.Staff are friendly and keen to explain the composition of the dishes and recommend combinations.

The buzz around the Edinburgh branch of Ka Pao is almost palpable - so we visited to see what all the rage is about. This is very far from what is considered your standard Thai menu in the UK, and as dear as you would expect from a restaurant in one of the posher parts of the city. On the subject of food - the more comfortable you are with experimentation, the more you will enjoy this. Some dishes absolutely hit it out of the park: The scallops, ridiculously overpriced as it was (aren’t they always) was phenomenal and the green Thai curry was an unexpectedly delicious take on the Thai classic which involved venison mince of all things. The rest, while not as outrageously good, were saved by their freshness and unique taste.

Just as stunning as the Glasgow original.We came in for a really quick lunch and it was excellent. Quick service, all of the plates were delicious, and it’s not too pricey.The surroundings are lovely too - bright, clean, tidy and enough space between tables that there’s atmosphere, without you having to shout.Highlight is - no surprises here - the caramel fried chicken. We ordered a first portion, then thought better of it and ordered a follow up. It’s superlative.

We had vegan food and loved the cauliflower roast along with rice. Also ordered BBQ corn which has sine nice sauce on it. Finished it with a caramel dessert with a rice flake on top. The ambience was very generic albeit.
