China Blue
96 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1NH
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…
Chop Chop
76 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
With a hugely successful restaurant, a wholesale operation and TV appearances with Gordon Ramsay under her belt, Jian Wang’s Chop Chop is already a success story. It stands to reason that expansion was on the cards, and as such the Leith branch has…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
Be sure to phone up in advance of heading to Chop Chop, not least because the well-lit, no-frills canteen is busy at the quietest of times. The newer Commercial Street incarnation, with its classical Chinese prints and more clinical décor, generates a…
Chow
98 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
When the neatly packed two-storey Chow first opened in Byres Road it offered Glasgow an updated take on Chinese dining – the menu was simplified and the surroundings were truly contemporary. A decade or so on it feels pleasant but no longer unusual.
Dragon-i
311–313 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Dragon-I has blazed a trail for contemporary Chinese food in Glasgow for eight years. Although others have overtaken them, serving up a more authentic cooking or offering brighter, more modern surroundings, Dragon-I still delivers an international take…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get…
Four Seasons
87 Cambridge Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RU
The Four Seasons is one of the very few thoroughly contemporary Chinese restaurants in Glasgow. Sitting beside the wall-length cityscape poster, supping Jasmine tea and perusing the small bright menu, you could be in almost any city in the world.
Golden Bridge
16 Henderson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6BS
If the traffic and unrelenting noise of Leith Walk and Great Junction Street are getting you down, then Golden Bridge is a quiet centre of calm and an ideal place to recharge and raise your spirits. Everything from the classical Chinese music and the…
Hong Fu Noodle
3–7 Waterloo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3BG
After the Ark bar hauled anchor from Waterloo Place, this canteen-style Chinese popped up in its place with minimal fixings. Ikea-style tables may feel rather temporary alongside the old bar and moulded ceilings but if you want a quick, cheap meal…
Hot Hot Chinese
60 Home Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9NA
True, you could mistake Hot Hot’s opaque steamy windows for those of a launderette. And yes, the lighting and décor are only slightly more atmospheric than those of a prison canteen – but that’s not the point. Hot Hot does only one thing – the Hot Pot…
Izzi
119 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
Izzi is a restaurant of two halves, with the front dining room clearly visible to the passers-by on busy Lothian Road through a huge plate glass window. The second room is curiously featureless but feels a little more private. Friendly staff greet…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32–34 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Just across the road from the Lyceum Theatre and open late every evening, Jasmine is ideal for theatregoers. The service, like the place itself, is quiet and on the polite side of friendly, but when the kitchen door opens there’s a reassuring level of…
Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight
28 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9HX
Every city has its secrets, those in-the-know places that are easy to miss in the search for better and brighter eating experiences. While it’s hardly off the beaten track, Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight’s unassuming shop front and barely decorated…
Karen Wong's Chinese Restaurant
107–109 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
St Leonard’s Street on a damp weekday evening can be a dreary experience, but there’s a bright yellow beacon that is Karen Wong’s Chinese Restaurant. Inside, you’ll find the place comforting rather than adventurous, in terms of both food and…
Karen's Unicorn
112 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AD
When booking Karen’s Unicorn, it’s probably best to specify which of the two locations you are intending to visit. If a Monday or Tuesday, you might just find the one you arrive at is closed. Both restaurants share the same phone numbers and menu, but…
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1ST
The ever-cheery Peter Kwok appears to have a loyal following and he offers them what they want, with a menu covering all the dependable classics from Singapore noodles to sesame prawn toasts. The additional daily specials menu injects some welcome…
Loon Fung
2 Warriston Place, Canonmills,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LE
Loon Fung has been dishing up Cantonese dishes to the residents of Canonmills for almost forty years and regulars still count for the majority of the business. And it is clearly the food as opposed to the functional décor that is the lure. Classics…
Loon Fung
417-419 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
Founded in 1971, this is Scotland's oldest Cantonese restaurant, renowned for its huge range of seafood and dim sum dishes. It's an expansive dining room opulently but comfortably decorated in red and gold with backlit ceiling panels of marauding…
Miso & Sushi
46a Haymarket Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5LA
There’s more to Miso and Sushi than, well, miso and sushi. Epic agedashi tofu, for a start. Properly spicy tuna hand-rolls. Well thought out bento boxes, putting together different hot and cold dishes in a way that takes guesswork out of what can be an…
Red Box Noodle Bar
51–53 West Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DB
Operating right in the heartland of Southside student country, Red Box is on to a winner with its brand of cheap but plentiful fast Chinese food, served for eating in or taking away in neat, American-style card boxes. Decorated in minimal tones of…
Rumours Kopitiam
21 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HW
Glasgow’s only Malaysian restaurant serves a few Thai and Singaporean dishes alongside a big selection of traditional Malaysian cuisine with its hints of Malay, Chinese and Indian influences. Authentic food and very reasonable prices make this simply…
Saigon Saigon Restaurant
14 South St Andrew Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AZ
Increasingly renowned for dim sum, it could be all too easy to fill up on the wide variety of dumplings and wonder how you’re going to find room for a main course. But delicious (and, at £3.30 for three, good value) though the prawn and bean curd rolls…
See Woo Restaurant
The Point, 29 Saracen Street,
Glasgow,
G22 5HT
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…
WaWa Noodle Bar
13 West Crosscauseway,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JW
Inspired by the noodle bars of Hong Kong, where eating on the move involves staying on your feet, Michael Yip has opened this compact standing-only noodle bar come Chinese takeaway as a radical alternative to his Dragon Way restaurant around the…
Wing Sing Inn
147–149 Dundee Street,
Edinburgh,
EH11 1BP
Often the plainest Chinese restaurants serve the best food. Well, Wing Sing Inn is no beauty queen but it’s what’s inside the kitchen that counts. This is not a first-date place: from the outside it looks like a takeaway joint. Lighting is harsh, the…
