Food quality really poor. Fried rice tasted like it was a week old. Chicken a strange colour and strange flavour.

Kam Wa
Overview
Kam Wa is a Chinese takeaway at 746 Pollokshaws Road in Strathbungo, on the Glasgow Southside strip toward Pollokshields and Queen's Park. Google lists it as inexpensive (about 4.1 from roughly 85 ratings). The menu on kamwa.co.uk is classic British-Chinese: soups and dim sum, then curry, black bean, Peking/Kung Po, honey chilli, Thai-style, duck, chow mein, fried rice, salt-and-chilli sides, and munchy-box style deals. Their own site says they are closed Mondays and open evenings roughly 4:15/4:20pm to 10:45pm Tuesday to Sunday. Order by phone on 0141 423 6622, through kamwa.co.uk, or via Just Eat and Uber Eats. Delivery postcodes listed on the site include G1, G5, G41–G46, G52–G53, G73 and G76. Locals often treat it as a regular Southside Chinese. Uber Eats shows a strong delivery rating (around 4.5 from hundreds of scores). HappyCow notes vegan chicken, vegan prawns and other plant-based swaps; TripAdvisor diners also mention vegetarian chicken. Negative reviews tend to be about cold or late delivery rather than the core takeaway idea. Pollokshields East ScotRail is a short walk via Albert Drive / Pollokshaws Road; buses run along Pollokshaws Road itself.

Went in to buy curry sauce, was told there was a £10 card limit, advised I would come back and placed order on just eat, elderly server began shouting asking why I didn't let her take my card? Very confused at the rude service :(

Read on Google MapsUsed to love this place but it's gonna downhill. Ordered a curry and it was like water. Delivery driver really rude as well. Literally been eating form here 10 years but will go elsewhere now. Honestly fuming about how the delivery driver spoke to me, as well. Terrible experience.
Read on Google MapsUsed this takeaway a few times now. Usually fine. No issues.. .however I've never eaten a shredded chicken dish that was very spicy.. way too spicy!! and it was average warm when it arrived. I'll be avoiding in future.
