This family-run establishment has been creating authentic Asian sauces in Scotland for over 30 years, bringing bold East Asian flavours to Glasgow's streets with their tagline "Street Food From The East Served With Love On The Streets Of Glasgow's East." The restaurant specializes in traditional Asian street food classics with a modern twist. Their menu features signature dishes like Slurpy Noodz, Crispy Katsu Chicken, and BiangBiang Noodz, served from their casual, welcoming shack.

Reviews
Getting to Fook Mei early definitely pays off – it can get busy, and turning up ahead of the rush gives you the best chance of snagging a seat. The restaurant makes clever use of its space; it feels cosy and intimate but never cramped, with enough room to breathe. Service is fantastic – genuinely friendly, attentive and welcoming, which adds a lot to the overall vibe. The food itself is excellent and very fairly priced. The prawn sando is next-level good. I went in with eyes bigger than my belly, and while I still narrowly prefer the pork sando from Holy Fook, the prawn was also incredible. The pancakes were another standout: fresh, fluffy and so moreish I kept eating even after I was full. Fook Mei delivers on all fronts – a spot worth visiting (and revisiting). Thanks to everyone in the team to make this resteraunt happen!

Read on Google MapsFood was amazing, served quickly. Popular so need to join a waitlist (we had to wait 20 mins). Not individual tables - communal table and counter seats along the sides and windows.
Read on Google MapsI was here at the weekend and I was told there was a 45 min wait (expected given the previous success). Fast forward 45 min, and I'm now told the kitchen is closed because it had run out of ingredients, this despite seating a couple a few seconds earlier without any warning. Definitely not a good first impression... Takeaway is not available unlike the original Ho Lee Fook.
