China Palace food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Scottish Borders
China Palace was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the restaurant fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
This is a fresh result: China Palace was inspected on 30 July 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.
