Gross

Disgusting, food was old and they tried to hide it with fresh sauce over everything. I asked for sweet and sour sauce and we got a variety of tomato soup. Even the mints at the end were old and gross...

Looks like no one's reviewed this place in years. Well, not sure what was going on around 2012 when…read morea few negative reviews popped up, but I personally really enjoyed this place. The waiting area (where you're seated if you're still waiting for members of your party to arrive) was nice and comfortable, and the service was great. Really professional and prompt. As a vegetarian, I can't attest to the quality of the meat dishes, but the rest of my family (there were 11 of us there all together) seemed to love theirs. The veggie dish I got was great. I also love that you get noodles or rice with whatever you order! I ate a lot of noodles. Noodles are kind of my thing. It is a bit spendy (my sense of how spendy it is isn't very good, since I'm an American and despite knowing that it's about $1.3 to a pound, I still read "£14" and think "hey, only $14!". Obviously, that's inaccurate). Most of my family live in Glasgow and go here quite often. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm over there! Not too expensive, imo, and really good food. If you're on the fence, it's definitely worth checking out.

Trudie M chose Ho Wong for her birthday dinner so on Friday we visited this longstanding Glasgow…read morerestaurant with an almost mythically good reputation. For years, maybe decades people have told me this is the best place for Chinese food in Glasgow. So I was excited to go for the first time and see if it really lives up to the hype. First impressions were good, very swanky although a bit to dark lighting for me. Jackets were taken from us and we were offered drinks in the waiting area. Quickly we moved to the restaurant and started to order the food. Now the prices are way way excessive in my opinion. Most main courses were around 18 quid. For that price this place was going to have to be amazing. To keep cost down we decided to share a banquet and swapped a fish fish out of it for a salt and chilli chicken one to fit the dietary requirements of the group. The food was ok but a bit to plain for me. This is definitely a British Chinese restaurant catering for western tastes. There is no good authentic dishes on offer here I am afraid. This means that although the food was fine, it seemed boring and very plain compared to the great food you can get elsewhere in the city Standout dishes for me was the crispy shredded duck wraps and......... (I'm trying to think of another standout dish)..... We had an interesting starter which was chicken of some type wrapped in lettuce leaves. Other than that the food on offer was spring rolls, ribs, etc. The clientele also seemed a bit "different" I felt like I was sitting in a Glasgow version Of the Sopranos. Everyone seemed to know everyone and have their favourite table. Reading back I'm going to take a star off. I started at three, but I'm going with two. Reason for the low score is that although the service, decor and food was all ok. It was just an ok three, but when you add in that it is crazy expensive and that there is now amazing other places to eat Chinese in Glasgow I feel that 2 star is the right grade to advise people to head to ka ka lok or Sichuan house instead.

This is by far the best place in Glasgow for authentic Southern Chinese dishes.

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

Strangely, there seems to be a distinct lack of quality Chinese restaurants in Glasgow, either that…read moreor I've had my head buried under the sand for the past 10 years or so that I've lived in the city. 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!

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.

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.
