The Fifteen

The Fifteen offers Chinese takeaway, receiving mixed reviews that reflect both strengths when quality standards are met and significant concerns about food quality, preparation, and safety. The restaurant has been described as fantastic and featuring great food when operating well, though quality consistency and safety issues have been raised by some reviewers.

The food at The Fifteen receives positive feedback when quality standards are met, with dishes described as fantastic, great, and out of this world. The sweet n sour chicken Cantonese style is described as out of this world and the best tried, and the delivery is described as always quick so the food is still nice and hot. The free prawn crackers receive positive feedback, described as good. The food quality is such that one reviewer notes it's one place you don't want to miss and features a fantastic ordering to eating experience.

However, there have been significant quality and safety concerns reported. One reviewer found a piece of plastic/glass in their chow mein (looked like a broken ornament due to the pattern), which is a serious safety issue. When they called to advise the restaurant, they seemed uninterested and only offered 10% off next order, suggesting inadequate response to safety concerns. Food quality issues have been reported, with one reviewer describing the experience as absolutely horrible, noting the beef was dry and chewy, the duck was dry and chewy, and the fried squid and chicken had a heart attack amount of salt. The satay chicken has been described as just mixed in a mild satay sauce for about 5 minutes and didn't taste of much. Preparation concerns have been raised, with butterfly prawns described as cooked in breadcrumbs and slightly overdone (expected a nice light crispy batter), lemon chicken described as fine but the lemon sauce was a little bit sharp, and egg fried rice described as having very little discernible egg in it.

Delivery service receives positive feedback when operating well, described as always quick so the food is still nice and hot, contributing to positive experiences.

For visitors to Glasgow, The Fifteen offers Chinese takeaway that can be fantastic and feature great food when quality standards are met. The restaurant's ability to deliver quick service and hot food has earned it positive recommendations from some reviewers. However, there have been significant concerns raised about food quality consistency, preparation standards, and safety (including foreign objects in food). The combination of generally good food when quality is consistent, but significant quality and safety concerns, makes it a mixed experience, and the restaurant would benefit from addressing food quality control, ensuring proper preparation standards, and implementing better safety protocols to ensure all guests have safe and positive experiences.
