   Authentic Chinese family sharing style restaurant. We ordered the duck, shredded chicken, beef ho fun, black bean beef stir fry, pork dumplings, egg fried rice, and chow mein. Overall fast and friendly service. Would go again. Although the duck was a bit tasteless and not like back home, and the beef ho fun was a bit under seasoned. The shredded chicken with jellyfish was phenomenal. They even gave us some complementary prawn crackers which was a nice touch. We ordered all this for 3 of us and had plenty of leftovers to take home.

   Three roast is one of this restaurant’s best dishes that we always order and this time the most delicious meat out of the three - the crispy pork was replaced without our knowledge with some dry boiled chicken. I don’t know if this is a money saving tactic and why they didn’t at least give us a phonecall to clarify which meat we want and instead give something noone wants. Extremely disappointed, will not order again anytime soon.

   Missed so much chinese food during my travelling at Scotland, found this restaurant with good recommendation. Good dinner experience here, all foods are really nice and with big portion. Price reasonable also. King prawn dry spicy garlic is the best! Roast duck also nice! Should try at this area!

   Wholeheartedly recommend this place - I would always come here every time I visit Glasgow. I’ve been dining here since around 2017 (less so after moving away from Glasgow) and this is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in the UK. The owners have changed for several times and my most recent visit was in August 2024, but in my opinion, their standards haven’t dropped, contrary to some of the other reviews. Their Cantonese roast dishes are a must try - they are one of the best in the country in my opinion, and you would be hard pressed to find considerably better quality Cantonese roast dishes elsewhere. Other Cantonese dishes are also delicious and are highly recommended. I would specifically recommend their salt and chilli chicken wings - although not a Cantonese dish and also not a dish I would normally order elsewhere, but there’s something special they do to the coating of the wings that would make these irresistibly crispy and juicy. Having said that, please don’t order any Szechuan dishes here if you can help it - these are not what they specialise here, and you will be disappointed. They also serve free soup and pudding (they taste much better partly because they were free), but only for dinner, subject to availabilities.

   Pretty authentic Cantonese food for a Cantonese myself. Surprisingly the staffs speak Cantonese! Almost cry while having stir-fry beef rice noodle, as I haven't visited Canton for 3+ years due to covid 19. Ordered classic roasted duck and white cut chicken. They were pretty decent. The soup (no MSG!!) before main courses and the sweet soup after were on the house, and quite properly cook!

   The Food was yummy and delicious. The wait times for the food was long, that requires improvement. Maybe they are understaffed.

   Having been in to the restaurant for a delicious dinner pre-pandemic, we were excited to find out we could get home delivery. However the experience couldn’t have been more different as the food was cold when it arrived and everything that was meant to be crispy was soggy and inedible. Really disappointed as at £13-16 for a main dish, it is not a cheap order to have to bin because it is inedible. We ordered just before 7pm and did not receive our order until 10pm. 3 hours waiting. Called 3 times to be told 3 different stories about who was delivering our order - 1st it was a woman driver and we were next, 2nd call it was a male driver and he was at an address miles past us the opposite direction from the restaurant and finally it was a woman driver who delivered eventually. It ruined our evening waiting. If we had been in the actual restaurant we would have walked out and found somewhere else for dinner. We didn’t have that option ordering online. Had no choice but to wait. The wait was definitely not worth it in the end and we ended up making cheese on toast as the food we ordered had to be binned. Waste of nearly £40.

   First time there and I was impressed, one of the best Cantonese food I’ve ever had. A little bit expensive though.

   I made a dinner reservation for 6 pm on a Saturday evening for three people. We had a lovely corner table with nice barrier screens. Ordered honey chicken wings, salt and chilli squid, soup and soft shell crab for starters. It arrived quickly and portions were very generous. Mains were sizzling pan fried Seanad, king po king prawn and sweet and sour king prawn with a side of noodles. King Prawns were humongous and very tasty in a crisp batter. Couldn’t finish everything and a doggy bag to go was no problem. Waiter offered some fresh orange segments as a freebie at the end. Even they were delicious. Just had tap water with the meal, £62 in total which included a cash discount. Definitely recommend Staff were very friendly and helpful.
