Finnieston, West End

I was in Glasgow on holiday and happened to find Silla by chance. The food was first rate, service…read morewas excellent, and our server was genuinely kind and attentive. The place was incredibly busy, but they seated us right away. A casual dining atmosphere, and moderately priced, made this dining experience an absolute pleasure!

I had been out this way to see a friend's band and I was accompanied by fellow newbie Yelper Linda…read moreD. We sadly just missed the band. Sorry guys! Next time!! We were both hungry and our eyes fell upon Shilla, a Korean restaurant based in Finnieston. Checked out the menu and seen there was some seats available. We had ended up at that busy period but we managed to get seats at the window. We had asked for the mezzanine seats, which looked available, but they said no. Maybe it was reserved, we didn't get an answer. I ordered the teriyaki chicken dish but I didn't really get to order my drink as Linda was ordering a Sapporo beer the waitress then left quickly so guessed I was getting one too. Ah well Sapporo it is. The dish was lovely but I found the chicken to be quite fatty, which is really rare to come across. I found it a bit chewy but the sauce was lovely, served with a side salad and fluffy rice. We were also given a mix of pickles with soy sauce before our main meals, these were complimentary. They were ok, some a bit weird tasting and texture wise a bit strange to me. Overall it was a good experience as they left us alone all night after we were served our food. Linda and I wanted somewhere we could have a good catch up and this was ideal. It was a bit uncomfortable at the end when we paying the bill and the waitress was waiting beside us as we were counting out our money. I would maybe head back and try something else as it was ok but the last visit didn't exactly blow my socks off.

Kimchi Cult - Freshly prepared Korean fried chicken thighs come in a spicy sweet gochujang sauce or soy garlic glaze.

Byres Road, West End, Partick

Headed here due to a day trip in the city because I like kimchi a lot…read more Food: I had the bimbap (vegan option). It looked nice and was fresh, but I was disappointed by the flavor of the single elements. Especially the tofu was not salted or made with herbs or spices. Just plain tofu in a batter. I asked for chili but only got some sriracha sauce that didn't really fit to the rest of the meal. The kimchi itself did not convince me either. It could have needed some more days of fermentation. Location: small, but music was bit annoying (loud indie grunge). Staff was very attentive though!

Always happy to see new Asian food places pop up so I've been waiting patiently for the wonderfully…read morenamed Kimchi Cult to open and, today that wait is over!! First impressions inside, it's small, with three small tables and a window seat (below a gorgeous stained glass cabbage!) and sparsely decorated but, more importantly, the delicious smell that greeted me promised some tasty foods! I'd already heard good things about their burgers but as this was my first visit I decided to be a little traditional and go for the Bulgogi Brisket Bao. Oh my heavens!! Deliciously rich beef brisket, kimchi and spring onions in a perfectly steamed Taiwanese bun, with a small side of pickled mushrooms plus a portion of Kimchi Cheese fries (because you can't have too much kimchi, right!?) had me salivating from start to finish. Freshly cooked, so close you can hear the sizzling, it was wonderful and given its within walking distance of my where I live, and is a good alternative, to the ubiquitous burgers, I can see me back here very soon (I may be planning a trip tomorrow!!). That said, they do burgers as well but as they come topped with kimchi, I'm hopefully of more good things! So, first day opened (so a slight wait was allowed as they were v.busy from the outset), and my first visit impressions were very good!! I'll definitely be back and, if you are in the area, I'd suggest you swing by as it's well worth a visit!

One of our adults was celebrating his…read morebirthday and since it was our first time in Glasgow we went to Yelp to help find a good place to eat. We stumbled upon this location after looking for a place near our AirBnB for some Sushi. We tried to reserve a table online via their website but it didn't work. So we decided to instead walk a mile to their restaurant to see if we could get a table - or even sit outside if we had to - knowing there would probably be a bit of a wait. When we got there I entered the restaurant with my son who is 3 in a stroller and immediately was greeted by a Redheaded woman who smiled at me like I had 3 heads. I then asked kindly for their availability and explained my situation and the woman scoffed at me - as if I was stupid to even ask the question - to which she then turned her iPad around and showed a list of Reservations. I actually managed to point to my reservation that via the website had not seemed to schedule correctly - to which she aggressively said "well there's nothing we can do'. Right as I turned to leave the restaurant the rest of my party trickles in and asks if we can eat outside - One of the kind waitresses said "sure" to which she set us up outside. We ordered 3 bottles of Sake and they were £24 for 300ml bottles. We had hoped that they might be worth the price but unfortunately they weren't much better than what you can get from a CoOp with a liquor license. The Shrimp Ramen was fantastic and the sushi tasted great but was really overpriced for the quantity which they give you. Overall I totally get the lack of vacancy for a popular spot - but being scoffed at as you gently inquire about availability was really off putting. Even eating there despite it was difficult - and the alcohol/sushi being overpriced. Would not recommend. The sushi quality and the waitresses efforts are the only reason it's not 1/5.

Service is pretty poor. I hasten to add not the fault of the waitress but the cooks. I found myself…read moresitting waiting for my meal whilst my companion was eating away. It's a fairly basic rule that meals should be served to everyone at the same time. As for the food itself it was enjoyable but nowhere near the tastiness of the better restaurants in Glasgow.

These burgers are a bit pricey for their size but are loaded up with amazing, unique ingredients that definitely make this place stand out. Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had, honestly. Would have been nice if we could have specified how we wanted the burgers cooked but that's apparently a restriction put on all Scottish restaurants. The restaurant itself is very small, limited seating so might be best to take out!

I finally tried out El Perro Negro's burger at the Brew Dog pop up recently and have to say, it was…read moredefinitely in my top 5 burgers of all time. (My previous review is for a wing pop up he did). Thanks to Austen, Trudie, Pammi & Ally, I had the inside scoop of which burger to order - they all said the Top Dog was the best. I was a little confused as I assumed that was a hot dog but nope, it's a burger. What's in it? Beef patty, double bacon, bone marrow, Roquefort butter, caramelized onion and black truffle mayo on the side. And it came with chips. There was a bit of a wait but we were drinking with friends so weren't too bothered. The burgers were nicely presented on a tray with the chips in a pot. Excellent chips and I really liked the black truffle mayo. The burger was obviously the highlight though - it was totally delicious. I actually don't eat too many beef burgers these days as I find a lot of them are overcooked and bland but this was heaven - perfectly cooked meat (rare) and the Roquefort was just the perfect match as it really gave the burger a punch. The combination of flavours was just perfect for me and I really enjoyed it. I've had some good burgers in my time and I really do mean it when I say this is right up there at the top. My only negative comment is really the pricing - £13.50 for a burger and chips is pretty hefty but I can also understand why as this is a special pop up burger which tastes amazing and obviously uses quality product. For me, I wouldn't have this burger every day but as a special occasion treat, hell yes.
