Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2011/12 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.

Five years ago the vast See Woo cash and carry in the north of the city opened up a restaurant and banqueting hall. While it may not be everyone’s choice to eat in 500-seater hangar space it is certainly full of local Chinese families and visiting students, hungry for a taste of home. Among the traditional offerings are hot-pots – individual bowls of soup in which diners cook their own cuts of meat and seafood – served in the evening and a selection of dim sum available through the day. Dim sum, which translates approximately as small tokens from the heart, come in many shapes and flavours. Most typically they are delicate parcels – of say pork, prawns, tofu with pickled cabbage or chives – with a gently folded, translucent rice flour wrapping served with fragrant chilli oil or hot sauce for dipping. In the evening a good starting point is the set banquet which includes a taster ‘middle course’ of some of these speciality dim sum. This is probably as good – and healthy – as Chinese food can be.

  • High point: Yum yum dim sum
  • Low point: A little on the large side

Reviews of See Woo Restaurant (The Point, 29 Saracen Street, Glasgow)

3. Si Lok Dik, Paisley – 30 September 2011, 9:17am5 starsSee Woo RestaurantReport

See Woo is by far the best Chinese and oriental restaurant in the West of Scotland if not the whole of Scotland. The fact is that they are totally consistent: the food is always the very best quality, local Chinese and mixed Eurasian families like my own go there because we can be assured of a very fine meal and welcoming and friendly staff. What's more, we lived in Hong Kong for 8 (and my wife 10) years, the food at See Woo is the same, exactly the same, quality that you would find in a very good quality restaurant in Hong Kong. Can't beat it for entertainment at Chinese New Year either, with Kung Fu shows and firecrackers going off outside, it feels like you've stepped into a Jackie Chan movie every time! it's always a pleasure to go there and we go there as often as we can.

My family and I had our Christmas 2007 dinner at the Sea Woo and we enjoyed it so much we have booked for our 2008 dinner also.
The food was of excellent quality and value for money. We have eaten here several times both at lunchtime and during the evening, and we thoroughly recommend this restaurant for local and tourist dining.
Strongly recommended.

Very special seafood restaurant.

We have been visiting this restaurant for several times and the quality of the food were pretty good and steady and as well as the service. The Chinese Hot-pot is one of the best in its kind in Glasgow with lots of freshly prepared vegetables, meats and seafood and very cheap in value. Will definitely visit the restaurant again.
