    Asiama - He is please with my choice of steamed chicken with fungi!

    Woodlands, West End

    Now, I've walked passed this place hundreds of times as I'm ALWAYS somewhere in GWR, and every time…read moreI walk pass, it's empty. It looks super sad and there always 2 people eating which I assume are the actual staff members. Every time I build up the motivation to try Asia Ma, I went up straying to Ka Ka Lok as its more "happening". Well for once, we managed to pull through with our decision and enter this empty restaurant. Yes, it was just me and Gian dining in at a Malaysian Chinese restaurant at 930pm. A bit awkward but, we figured maybe cause it's late? Who knows. We were seated by the window by a friendly Malaysian (I assume) auntie, given menus and two baskets of prawn crackers (how generous ey) as we skimmed through the choices of food. Went for the menu with the Chinese words because that's where the good stuff is ey! Hehe Anyway, I chose the dinner for us and we had fried rice, steamed chicken with fungi (takes 20 mins to prepare and no, it's not the fungi you think! It's herbal mushroom!), deep fried homemade tofu, and pot of Chinese tea for 2. So 20 mins of chatting and prawn crackers later, I will quote Gian, "you chose well Sarah". Yes, the food was amazing. SUPER delicious! And huge in terms of portions!! We had extra for lunch the next day! The steamed chicken with black fungi was very herbal, gingery and just plain delightful in terms of light flavours! It complimented the deep fried home made tofu super well because that was seasoned with Malaysian soy sauce, shrimp, spring onions and all kinds of robust flavours! Along with fried rice, it was TWO THUMBS UP FOR ME! Altogether it was 15quid per person, and FYI, I have a lot of left over for lunch haha it's like you're paying for 2 meals! Guys, don't be fooled by the emptiness of Asia Ma, their food is AWESOME! Next time, imma go try the fish head tofu hot pot and Assam fish. Exciting!!

    Is it a rebrand or is it brand new? I'm not sure. What I do know is that it is very good and much…read moremuch better than Asia Style that was here previously. I'm surprised I'm the first to review TBH as Asiama has been here for a while. I have wanted to visit it for ages and I am glad I finally got the chance as the whole experience was really good. From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. It felt a bit like a Hong Kong cafe with the roasted meats hanging in the kitchen. We ordered a selection of dishes to share between four.... Here goes.... Roast duck, salt and chill chicken, Malaysian beef curry, char Sui Sichuan, authentic peppered chicken, fried rice, boiled rice and even some cheeky chips to help soak up the hangover. The food was all pretty good. The Malaysian curry was superb, spicy and with loads of sauce it was a favourite. The salt and chill chicken was really tasty and it was a great size portion. The Sichuan char Sui was my next favourite and was cooked really well. I also enjoyed the peppered chicken which had loads of peppers and onions as well as chicken. The only dish I was not that keen on was the roasted duck which was just a bit to chewy and fatty. The staff obviously thought we did not have enough food as they then brought out some really tasty and authentic dim sum which they informed us was complimentary. It was a great touch. By the time the free oranges arrived I was stuuuuuuffed! I'm tempted to give it 5, but I'm gonna go with four. Reason being the roasted duck was a Wee bit disappointing and the competition for authentic Chinese restaurants in Glasgow is now red hot. Don't get me wrong this place is excellent and I will definitely be back. Nearly forgot.... All that food and only 15 quid a head, bargain! Check it out soon Yelpers, it deserves more reviews.

    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.

At times it does…read morefeel extremely cramped as it is a bit tiny, but, on the plus side, when you know it's busy, it must serve good food, which is 100% true. Personally, I enjoy Chinese food, and this place is no exception (the ribs here are delicious), apart from the fact that my wallet isn't empty after I've been (waaay!) (also, it lacks those freaky waving cats, and other chinese-style accessories...eeep). Large portions for small prices, it's definately worth a trip. Sit in. Or take out. Or get a delivery. 'Chow' down...! (That was possibly the worst pun ever. Apologies).

    "Sorry." That's it. A measly apology. For spilling a bottle of beer on my new suit. I appreciated…read moreit was an accident, but there was a distinct lack of sincerity with the response, so much so it could almost have been accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders. And it's a great pity, because the food in Chow is superb. Situated in a tiny unit on Byres Road, the Chinese restaurant makes use of every inch of space to cram in as many people as possible, both on the bottom floor and the small mezzanine level. The reasonably priced menu is extensive but I'm afraid my stubbornness when it comes to the ordering of Chinese foods means I'm only in a position to recommend my old faithfuls, hot and sour soup and chicken chow mein, both of which are excellent in here. In actual fact, this could almost have been a five star review but there's no getting away from the abruptness of some staff members, which I find to be an all too common occurrence. I really shouldn't come back, but unfortunately the food is just too damn good.

Haw Gao and Shu Mai - standard fare done very well. Congee - massive bowl and well worth it. Fried shredded squid - definite winner. The only miss was the Cheung Fun (rice noodles). Who ever had string beans in them before? Clearly, not in Hong Kong... And definitely a no no. Coming from Edinburgh, this is perhaps the best dim sum I've had in Scotland! Overall, well worth the price.

If you order the usual sweet and sour chicken it'll be hit-or-miss, according to other reviews on other sites. Hint: Just ask for dim sum and they'll give you a pictorial menu to help you along. So we went for said dim sum today (Sunday) and it didn't disappoint! It was hoachin' with Chinese and Scots alike enjoying an afternoon out with Family and friends. We opted for a selection of 5 dim sum and 1 rice hotpot dish (between 2), washed down with Chinese tea. Har cheung fun (cannelloni like prawn filled noodles), custard buns, pork and nut dumplings, fried squid and lo bak go (a fried turnip and sausage cake) all graced our table - All great value at £3.50 to £4 each. Our black bean ribs and fried chicken feet rice hotpot dish was £6 and was suitable for 2 - lovely, but I tend to leave the feet to the wife:-/ They also threw in a free vegetable dish, choi sum - and I'm telling you I'm stuffed!!! We have dim sum a couple of times a month and it competes with the best in Manchester and London and will give you a feel for the cavernous Dim Sum restaurants they have in Hong Kong.The service wasn't too shabby either with "politish" and prompt service even though they were extremely busy. We'll be back soon :)
