The service is excellent. The place has recently had an refurbishment though don't expect a Waldorf tea room ambiance.

When Ka Ka Lok appeared next to long standing Chinese / Malaysian restaurant Asia Style with its bright red signage and funky Chinese style cartoon logo I thought to myself, "ooft that's brave opening up next to a Glasgow institution". But, to my delight, this place more than stood up for itself. Although the restaurant is rather big and sparse looking, it was busy and loud enough, with a regular turnover of local Chinese customers to give the place a good vibe. We were warmly greeted on arrival and taken to our table. The waitress promptly gave us two menus to look over, one an 'English' menu and the other a 'Chinese' one. The English menu contained your typical Black Bean / Sichuan / Sweet & Sour type dishes, probably curated for the westerners. Not Fish & Chips and Chicken Pies as I had originally imagined being on an 'English' menu. The Chinese menu was a Hong Kong style fare, with more traditional dishes such as Clay Pot stews, seafood/fish dishes, roasts etc. Needless to say we all ordered from the Chinese menu and the staff were ever so friendly in helping us to make our decisions. In fact the owner was key to helping us have a great meal as he picked out some great dished for us. We opted for a dozen dumplings to nibble on as an appetiser, which were delicious. Then a feast of Clay Pot dishes arrived, including aubergine and salt fish, XO Seafood, an outstanding and tender beef stew, three kind roast containing pork belly / char sui / duck, Singapore style noodles and a giant vat of rice. It has to be said the quality of the food and ingredients was second to none and the portions were hugely generous. Again the owner and his staff made us feel incredibly welcome and they kept checking up on us to make sure we were happy with the food. Although they don't have a drinks license, we were treated to endless supplies of refreshing jasmine tea. Furthermore they have a great tasting Aloe juice, which I think I may now be addicted too. To summarise Ka Ka Lok, weird name, amazing food and cheap as chips!

They do just about everything right here. For one; they focus on the food and what you as a…read morecustomer would like to eat and how you'd like to eat it. Secondly: No, actually, that is it. Alcohol license? They have a 12 seater restaurant, barely space for a cash register. So... Nah.. people will eventually complain about the coldness of their beer, or the off-ness of their wine. Nope, they'll stick with the green Jasmine / Lotus tea and to the food and concentrate on that. You bring in what you like at the temperature you'd like to drink it. Delivery? They will not have a driver on standby for you to eventually complain about the lateness and missing items. No no no. If you like the food that is cooked; you will come over and get it yourself. And trust me you will. I now understand those people that drive for miles to get their perfect hot chocolate served at some obscure farmers' coffee shack. I would be happy to order, jump on a bus and get food from here, if I feel flush I may even pay a taxi to collect and deliver... Heck, I may even visit people I know in the area a bit more to persuade them to do a takeout. You just swing by or phone up your order. They'll prepare and pack it in front to you so you'll know what you got. Ordering complicated dishes that take a long time to prepare? Sure you can, just order 24-48 hrs in advance - advice for how many people - and they'll have it ready for your the evening you visit. The lady that served us knew all about the dishes that were available, supplied recommendations and was in general very friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful. As they are popular they do turn the tables around. We had 2.5 hours on our table, which is more than ample. Be prepared to get stuck in, eat with your hands and get pretty messy with your meal... (Oh was that just me...?) But they provide napkins, wet towelettes, fingerbowls, etc... As it is such a small place I don't recommend this for families with young children. You cannot run around, highchairs, trolleys, car seats etc.. will be in the way and most possibly restrict movement of servers and guests. They have one toilet and it is down a very(!) steep flight of stairs. If you do insist I'd say book the whole restaurant. I recommend this place for couples and close group of friends around 6-8 We had a wonderful time and I'd like to thank the B&D Kitchen for having us!

It is really hard to get authentic cuisine here in Edinburgh as the Chinese population here is not as high as London. Definitely give this place a try and try what the Cantonese community has to offer. Staff are really nice and helpful as well.

Dim Sum Sunday is a thing...... in Glasgow!!! Did you not know?…read more Well its actually Dim Sum Saturday, Sunday and I think one day during the week, but I went on the Sunday so for me its Dim Sum Sunday. China Town has been about for decades and believe it or not last weekend was my first visit to it. Reflecting back that's sort of bizarre considering my live for all things dumpling and Asian cuisine in general. First impressions when you walk in are you can tell it's been about a bit, the décor is a wee bit dated and you can tell some of it was put together many years ago. That said the service is friendly and its clean, so who cars abut the décor as your there for the food. They do an Al carte menu, but I was there purely for the Dim Sum so I did not even read, in case was tempted to get two dinners!. We shared a selection between 4 dumplings fans... Highlights for me were - Deep Friend Beef with Ginger and Spring Onion, Prawn Dumpling with Salad Cream, Dried scallops & Veg Dumplings, Satay beef dumplings, pork and prawn dumplings, Chair Siu Bun.... I could literally go on and on. There was nothing I did not like, don't get me wrong as well as the ones I mentioned as amazing highlights, there was some that were just OK, but I can genuinely say I liked the lot. Boiled to steamed, buns to dumplings it was all good. I now really want to go back for the Al carte menu and will do in the next few months. If you like dumplings and dim sum you're going to love this please. Just make sure you check serving times and days before you go as they do not do the full menu all the time.

I love dim sum (or yum cha as we call it in Australia, not sure why!) and I was excited to check…read moreout the offerings of Chinatown, which I'd never been to before. There's a few Yelpers who've reviewed it and had good things to say so I knew I could trust their judgement! The restaurant entrance is around the side of the building - the grand entrance is for the supermarket. Inside the restaurant is set up like most Chinese restaurants - large round tables with lazy susans and a few smaller ones around the side. The decor is kind of 80s, a big chandelier and a big fish tank. No complaints though! We ordered a selection of the dishes from the dim sum menu and shared - Shanghai mini bun, beef cheung fung, scallop and vegetable dumplings, spring rolls, char sui buns, squid. I really liked everything, to be totally honest - a great mix of food, all served quickly and really hot, and it was really tasty. I think the car sui buns and the Shanghai mini buns were two of my favourites but it was good to try something totally different like the beef cheung fung which was really silky and tasty. Staff were really friendly, helpful and fast but also having a bit of a laugh with us. The bill was around £20 each including tip and a lot of soft drinks - and I had a couple of tsingtao beers. This was a really nice place to try for something different at Brunch Club, and I'd definitely go back for dinner or another dim sum session soon.

I recently popped by new Finnieston hot spot Little Canteen to pick up some tasty take away and was…read morereally impressed. The restaurant itself is really small with only a few sit in tables, but the vibe is pretty cool and with the decor they are obviously going for an authentic cafe style feel which I liked. Unfortunately because of the size there isn't really anywhere to stand while you wait for your order, so I did feel a little bit like a spare part. Thankfully it wasn't busy when I was in but I would imagine if it was you might feel like you were in the way while waiting. So let's talk food! First off, my order didn't take long at all, it was under 10 minutes which I think is great for freshly made Chinese food. Everything we ordered traveled well back to the flat, and was hot still by the time we unpacked it all - so far so good! MrGeek and I usually like to get a few different dishes and just share everything. On this occasion we ordered some salt & chilli chicken which was pretty dang spicy but tasted brilliant, I loved the seasoning and although it was hot there was also a really nice flavour to the popcorn style chicken bites. Given that it was a starter size I ordered it was also a really large portion and could easily serve as a main if you had some chips or rice with it. We also ordered a beef curry, which I'm kind of a wee bit obsessed with at the moment for some reason. Little Canteens version had a generous portion of tender beef strips and large chunks of crisp crunchy onion, which were drowning in a slightly hot tangy curry sauce. I thoroughly enjoyed this curry and would definitely order this again. Then things went a little wrong with our last dish, which was supposed to be chicken in mandarin sauce, unfortunately this isn't what we got. We actually got a portion of ginger and spring onion chicken which isn't great, but we all know that sometimes these things do happen. And given that neither MrG or I had tried it before we're happy to give it a go. I can confirm we both hated it! Don't get me wrong I'm sure it was brilliant if you liked ginger & spring onion chicken, we just didn't like it at all. So unfortunately we ended up chucking the whole portion out which is such a shame. Then there were the sides - we went with a portion of boiled rice which was...well...it was boiled rice. We also got a portion of salt and chilli chips which I always like to order whenever I get chinese food. The chips were crunchy and like the salt and chili chicken they were hot but packed a real punch flavour wise. They were so addictive and I am not going to lie I was more than a wee bit angry that MrG actually wanted to have some of these. I really enjoyed the take away food from Little Canteen which I will definitely order again. And given how much I liked the take out I'm also now very keen to sit in and try the food here fresh because I bet it will taste even better!

We ordered a bunch of food for takeaway (to-go orders), but they wouldn't let my 9 year old son use…read morethe restroom even though it was a huge emergency. They absolutely refused access, saying that it was too dirty and small in the back where the restroom was located. We then asked the owner to help us call for a taxi and she absolutely refused to do that also! She just kept on pushing us out the door and saying we can look for taxis randomly on the street during the rain storm. They also only take payments in cash, which is a sign of tax evasion. Food was terrible, the place was a hole in the wall. They were extremely rude and not helpful at all! Bad, bad place! Stay away!!! You've been warned.
