Salt & Chilli Oriental Restaurant in Shawlands, Glasgow

Reviews

   I tried the chicken breast curry, portion is pretty generous, the taste is okay, it had a lot of onions in it, the chicken is a bit dry. The curry tastes like your local Chinese takeaways curry, I was expecting this to be better. I also tried the salt and chilli wings. The batter is really nice, airy and crunchy, the seasoning is good, the wings were dry as well. The menu has some variety but I do wish they do more salt and chilli dishes as a side as well instead of just main portion. Friendly services, I like the decorations as well, chill vibes. And it’s the sister restaurant to lychee oriental in town.

   We had a pre Gig tea. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. Our food was delivered quickly, was well presented and was delicious. One of our party required GF food and had a good choice of dishes. Overall we had a very good experience.

   Hoped Lychee southside would be an upgrade on its predecessor — stylish setting, friendly and professional staff. Sadly, the food was a letdown. The egg fried rice tasted stale, the sweet and sour chicken was soft and mushy, and the noodles were greasy. Great atmosphere, poor cooking. All gloss, no wok. It’s a pity, because I wanted to love Lychee. I adore its namesake in town — sharp, confident, a masterclass in balance — but this suburban spin-off is a pale imitation. The setting is stylish, the service genuinely lovely, but the food? A serious letdown.

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful experience here! Even without a booking, we were immediately offered a table and served very quickly. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, tasty, and beautifully prepared. The staff were warm, welcoming, and made us feel at home. Highly recommend this restaurant!

   Second time ordering and both times it’s been sensational. Food always arrived quickly and was roasting hot. The salt and chilli box comes with a good amount of chicken and loads of chips. Got the sriracha mayo and that goes perfectly with the chips and chicken. Tried the Katsu curry with jasmine rice tonight and was really impressed. The curry sauce tub has little chunks of carrot and other veg through it which makes it taste even better, the katsu chicken was lovely and crispy and there was loads of jasmine rice. Overall a really good portion size, tastes amazing, a little bit on the expensive side but if you can get an offer on apps like Uber etc then it’s 100% worth ordering.

   Nice addition to Shawlands. Popped in on a Thursday evening with no booking and we’re sat quickly. Ordered 2 beer, salt and chilli chicken and General Tso chicken. Surprised that the General Tso was the show stopped and the salt and chilli chicken was just average (quite dry/plain) considering the name of the restaurant. Would visit again and try more if he menu

   I enjoyed what we had here for dinner. The place is immaculate and the service was prompt. A condensed but decent menu. The only issue I had is that the food came about 5 minutes after we ordered, and there are no desserts available, so we were basically finished dinner within about 30 minutes of arriving - it was over really quickly. We ordered the honey chilli chicken and the General Tso chicken. They were good. Not amazing, didn’t blow my mind, but good enough. There are loads of good Chinese options in Glasgow - I’m not sure this is one I would revisit.

   Food was all cooked well, service good and plenty of options on the menu. Located centrally in Shawlands and the decor has been upgraded since the last place. Can see this place being busy at the weekend so best to book. Recommended the salt n chilli chicken pieces.

   Just newly opened but loved the food. Duck Bao was excellent, as was the Katsu Curry and all looked good as well as taste. Will definitely be dinner again soon as a definite change from usual oriental food options.
