@eatingwithtod: HELPING A “DYING” CHINESE RESTAURANT WITH JUST 3 MONTHS UNTIL CLOSURE 🇨🇳 I saw a post about this place online… and honestly, it hit me hard. Right now, hospitality is brutal — and so many good people are quietly struggling behind the scenes. So I jumped on the first flight I could. Meet @lisaluluhe and her mum… and they are some of the kindest, hardest-working people I’ve come across. You can feel how much they care in every dish. They’ve even got a 3-course lunch for £9.75 — which is almost unheard of right now — plus a full menu if you want to go bigger. But here’s what you don’t see… They’re in at 10am prepping, serve lunch till 3pm, back again from 7pm–midnight, then spend 2 more hours cleaning and cashing up. Most nights, they’re not sleeping until 2–3am… and doing it all over again the next day. This isn’t just food — this is people giving everything they’ve got to stay open. 📍 @chinastarrestaurant 🗺️ 6A West Maitland Street If you’re in Edinburgh, go show them some love ❤️ 🌟 If you can’t take a date, take a mate — tag tag tag x #supportlocal #edinburgh #chinesefood #Foodie

I think they need to raise their prices, 3 courses for £15 would still be good value.

This genre of food influencers helping small restaurants is one of the best on TikTok. 👏

Is it just me or does three courses for £9.75 seem to cheap for what it is especially as it's located in Edinburgh

I’ve have eaten there. The food is AMAZING, especially on a cold rainy day when you need some good comfort food.
