Once the food got here, it was mediocre at best. Maybe I got here at the wrong time. Hot and sour soup was good, and I have never seen a cocktail prawn this sad before.

I love love love Lemon Tree…read more The delivery can take ages, but I forgive them because they've yet to be surpassed as my favourite Chinese take-away in the West End. My go-to order is pancake rolls, chicken and sweetcorn soup, and garlic and honey chicken. The pancake rolls are always fresh and crispy, with a great crunch and nice and peppery filling. The soup is usually lava - but in a good way. The garlic and honey chicken is sweet and delicious. I've tried a handful of other dishes here, too, and haven't had any disappointments. I think the fact this place has been around for so long speaks for itself!

Yum. Do i like the Lemon Tree? Yes, Yes i do. As i'm writing this review i'm already fantasising…read moreabout the shredded crispy beef in the nice sweet sauce....crap i just dribbled on my keyboard. Now i think its important to make a distinction here. As far as the Lemon tree goes its main business is without doubt done on the takeaway side, which is slightly odd as they have a pretty nice dining area. I think they most definitely suffer from there location and quite possible from the close proximity of Asia Style (one of the best if not thee best place to eat Asian cuisine in Glasgow), just round the corner. There is no doubt that lemon Tree is part of the old school brigade of Chinese grub. With the recent surge in new authentic style Asian restaurants (Wudon, Waga Mamma etc) the older style restaurants appear to be losing some of the business on the dining in side of the market. But hey, with the amount of business this place is doing on the takeaway side i don't think they are that bothered. Trust me, if your hankering for a Chinese takeaway then this place is totally dependable in quality, quantity and quilting (i couldn't think of another Q that was relevant). Plus, you can also order online using the just-eat website, very handy.

We ordered Mapo tofu and wonton noodle soup. Both were delicious and good sized. The service was friendly, and it was a pleasant place to eat and people watch out the big windows. I took a star off because it seemed disproportionately expensive compared to the environment and dining experience.

I must have passed Asian Gourmet about 100 times in the last few years and have never really had…read morethe compulsion to go in until a few weeks ago when I enjoyed a drunken afternoon with some buddies. When we visited on Saturday night I was every so slightly scared, not knowing what we would find, but cheered on by AustenM's cheeky - you go where no other food blogger is prepared to go! I marched down the stairs and straight into the restaurant. I would be lying if I said the inside was anything other than functional.... there were grey tiled walls, a few tables with red paper tablecloths and a few paper Chinese lanterns strung up on the roof. It was clean and not especially scary. The staff were pleasant enough, although because of the way the restaurant is set up the staff couldn't see our table and so we had to work kind of hard to get their attention to order food and drinks. It is worth mentioning that earlier in the day we tried to book a table but the person that answered the phone couldn't speak English and hung up on us. Here is where Asian Gourmet comes into it's own.... amazing food. The menu is pretty extensive with a large section of more traditional Asian meals including Fish Head Pot, Duck Tongue and Stir Fried Pork Kidney?!?!? However, please don't let this put you off because they also have an incredible selection of western friendly dishes available for the less adventurous. We ordered a whole host of dishes to share including - Salt & Chilli Squid, Kung Po Chicken, Twice Cooked Chinese Pork, Dumplings and some fish/aubergine dish that I never even touched. We also ordered a couple of potions of chips and some rice. For me the stand out was definitely the Squid, which was so good we ordered a second portion. The coating was light and crispy and the squid was tender and salty. A cracking dish! The pork would come a very close second, it was incredibly aromatic and the dish was heaving with lots of meat. The Chicken was okay; again there was heaps and heaps of meat in this dish. However, it was maybe just slightly on the rubbery side - but perfectly edible and I would happily order and eat it again. I can't even give you an opinion on the aubergine dish because I just didn't like the look of it - it was super oily and didn't look like my kind of thing at all, so I gave it a miss. The entire bill came to a ridiculously cheap £72.90, which included chilli bean sprouts (which were amazing) and green tea on arrival, 7 main dishes, 5 drinks and complimentary orange and sweets with the bill. None of us could quite wrap our heads around how cheap it was. This is a cracking hidden little gem of a restaurant - please don't be put off by its appearance - the food was absolutely beautiful and the price was amazing. I will definitely be back here again, and if I want a Chinese take away from now on I will be ordering from Asian Gourmet for sure.

It's pretty run down looking…read morefrom the outside and for years I thought it was a place I would never venture to, but on Saturday I did and I came away very happy. I was intrigued before, but the moment I phoned to book a table and the voice on the other end said I do not speak English and hung up, I knew I had to go! On arrival the outside is a bit off putting and the inside is very basic, more Chinese restaurant in Asia than what we expect from a Chinese restaurant in Glasgow. Still the staff were very welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. So on to the food and drinks. Free bean sprouts to start and free jasmine tea. All lovely. We then shared several dishes between the group of 5 of us. Stand out for me was the salt and chilli squid. It was so good we ordered another portion. I also loved the double cooked pork. The Kung po chicken was tasty, but the chicken was chopped a bit small for me. The only dish I was not sure about was the aubergine with salted fish. It was just a little to oily and fishy for me, but I reckon that's just a taste thing. On the side we had rice and chips and by the end I was stuffed! At the finish with the bill they brought us out loads of free chewy sweets and oranges. Then came the best bit. I felt we had had a banquet and it only came to 16 quid per person. It looked like the rice was only a quid a bowl! The value for money here is phenomenal. This place deserves a strong four stars. I think it's got a couple of competitors perhaps doing a wee bit higher quality food and in a better setting that stops me going with five stars, but that should in no way put you off coming here. Fantastic food, great value and a really interesting dining experience. I will return!

I had urges to try hot pot for a very long time but always had excuses to avoid it. This was…read moreclearly a bad plan as this hot pot restaurant was fantastic. When I first entered, it was busy. The smell of the combination of different broths and foods filled the air. It did make the room a bit warm but that's to be expecting in a room filled with boiling pots. After sitting down, we were quickly explained how to order on the menu and left alone. We ended up with a dual pot of hot and spicy broth and of tom yum kung broth. I'd like all of the meats and vegetables we ordered but it's best to say that the options were plentiful and I was able to get fresh shellfish. Yes, I could even get seasonal crab, razor clam, and scallop. It didn't take very long for the pot of broths to come out, along with the giant plate of foods we ordered to go along with it. I'm a big eater and even this looked overwhelming to me. And the quality of food matched the quantity. All of the vegetables were clearly freshly cut and the shellfish was clearly fresh. It was a very fun experience to cook foods in the pot. Occasionally they'd come around to add more water to the pot as it boiled off. They also offered to bring us more food. I never needed it but it was good to know I could get it. In hindsight I could have used more crab because it was clearly worth the price on its own. I really would want to go back. It's not exactly a cheap place but at £16.99 per person it was such a good experience that I'd happily go back.

I would definitely come back whenever I return to Glasgow! What's more, they have Karaoke for free!

Trudie M and I dropped in for a spot of lunch today and we were not disappointed. The menu is simple, about 20 rice dish options, a couple of congee ones and a couple of noodle ones. This is a cafe style place, nothing to fancy, but the food had tonnes of taste and the staff were extremely friendly. All the dishes are 7.50 a go, you get a huge bowl of rice and your chosen topping. I had salt & pepper pork loin and it was tremendous. The pricing is also great. We got loads of food and two tsing Tao for just 22 quid. We were really full and left very happy. The food tasted really fresh and actually sort of healthy to. Another great addition to the ever growing Chinese restaurant scene in Glasgow. It has lots of stiff completion already, but for me it is 5 stars of course... But you probably could of guessed that.

There was a group of us so they seated us at a round table in the middle which had stools which wasn't totally ideal but as I said, we were just in for a quick meal. The menu is simple - mostly rice dishes with a couple of noodle/congee dishes. I ordered aubergine and pork with rice for £7.50 and was really impressed - a big portion and really filled me up after a day of drinking. Staff were friendly, the vibe was relaxed and the price was very reasonable. Even including a couple of beers I think it was about £12 each. I'll definitely be back.
