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

This go-to restaurant for Chinese families in Glasgow this has the appearance of a casual family-run canteen. The number one thing to know about China Blue, however, is that it is very much two restaurants in one. If you sit down, order from the given menu and then leave, you will get a good Chinese meal. Chicken kung po is chock full of chunks of pepper and fiery red chillies while the prawns, cooked with thick slices of ginger root, are fresh and fulsome. But the ‘real’ Chinese menu has to be requested separately. The Chinese menu changes according to the catch of the day but hot pots, black pepper ribs and buttered chicken fried rice are among the favourites. The staff are delighted to see others taking an interest in real Chinese food so do delve and make inquiries.

  • High point: Fresh, plump prawns
  • Low point: You have to ask for the "real" menu

My friends & I ate here last night we were charged £70 for 5 starters 3 mains & 4 cokes, I found this place very expensive & it was nothing special, a basic Chinese restaurant I will not eat there again & would not recommend it.
