Casserole Wang Haymarket

Casserole Wang Haymarket brings the cult comfort of malatang to Edinburgh.

Founded in China in 2015, the brand has grown across the country and abroad, and this Haymarket outpost stays true to the spirit - hot and spicy in a bowl, tuned to individual taste.

Take a seat, choose a base, turn the dial on the heat, and let the steam rise. The draw is a choose-your-heat bowl built on either an ox bone soup base or a classic tomato soup base, each available from mellow to mouth-tingling.

Into the bubbling broth go fresh cuts and greens: think beef slices with Chinese leaf, broccoli and mushroom tangled with hot pot noodle, or a seafood leaning with fish fillet, squid, shrimp and a seafood stick. Those in the know pad out the feast with a bean curd roll or the moreish crunch of crispy pork shred, while the kitchen threads a modern touch through traditional flavours.

It is a soulful, customisable ritual, equal parts comfort and kick. The result is an experience that caters confidently to every spice level without losing sight of its roots.

Whether diners prefer it mild or crave a bold blaze, Casserole Wang keeps things welcoming, warming and wonderfully straightforward - inviting a visit to spice up the day, one slurp at a time.
