Tried this place – some hits and misses. The roast duck is definitely the highlight – best dish here! But be warned: some pieces have duck tail fragments, and biting into one unexpectedly… was kind of 😵‍💫. The lobster pasta looked promising, but some lobster parts tasted bitter, and the pasta was overcooked and mushy. Disappointing for the taste. The biggest letdown was the braised beef brisket pot – the chef’s recommendation. The radish was tough and overaged. The dish had a nice aroma, but the taste… well, just look at the photo and you’ll get what I mean 😅🙈 That said, service was genuinely excellent – super friendly and attentive, which I really appreciated. ⭐ 💰 Total spent: £73

Three roast is one of this restaurant’s best dishes that we always order and this time the most delicious meat out of the three - the crispy pork was replaced without our knowledge with some dry boiled chicken. I don’t know if this is a money saving tactic and why they didn’t at least give us a phonecall to clarify which meat we want and instead give something noone wants. Extremely disappointed, will not order again anytime soon.

Tried authentic dishes from a specific Chinese region for the first time—absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the meat board and eggplant pot. Both were incredibly flavorful and satisfying!

Missed so much chinese food during my travelling at Scotland, found this restaurant with good recommendation. Good dinner experience here, all foods are really nice and with big portion. Price reasonable also. King prawn dry spicy garlic is the best! Roast duck also nice! Should try at this area!

Wholeheartedly recommend this place - I would always come here every time I visit Glasgow. I’ve been dining here since around 2017 (less so after moving away from Glasgow) and this is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in the UK. The owners have changed for several times and my most recent visit was in August 2024, but in my opinion, their standards haven’t dropped, contrary to some of the other reviews. Their Cantonese roast dishes are a must try - they are one of the best in the country in my opinion, and you would be hard pressed to find considerably better quality Cantonese roast dishes elsewhere. Other Cantonese dishes are also delicious and are highly recommended. I would specifically recommend their salt and chilli chicken wings - although not a Cantonese dish and also not a dish I would normally order elsewhere, but there’s something special they do to the coating of the wings that would make these irresistibly crispy and juicy. Having said that, please don’t order any Szechuan dishes here if you can help it - these are not what they specialise here, and you will be disappointed. They also serve free soup and pudding (they taste much better partly because they were free), but only for dinner, subject to availabilities.
