Xu Zhou Ground Pot
Lothians, Edinburgh - Chinese - Restaurant
This cosy Chinese eatery is named for its signature Jiangsu di guo ('ground pot' dishes) – rich meat stews loaded with a spectacularly aromatic blend of Sichuan peppercorns, chilli and star anise, all crowned with pleasantly leathery xian bing (stuffed flatbread). The rest of the menu packs a punch, with a great range of dry-pot variants, noodles and other potent Sichuan options.
