Wah Kee Chinese Bakery - Glasgow

Always eat a joy in the chinatown restaurant. great food and great staff there!

This is a grand old Chinese Restaurant in the old style. It's a triumph of Oriental art deco. Check out those chandeliers! When we visited, on a Monday night, it was almost empty, but the food was tremendous! Two dishes, the fishy aubergine and szechuan numbing chicken were exceptional. We regularly order these in other restaurants, but the standard here was way higher. The chicken dish was cooked on the bone, but it really does make a difference flavour wise and it's worth the trouble of spitting out a few bits of bone to taste it. A word of caution on the chillies, though, they use dried bird eye chillies rather than the milder Chinese ones we are used to. Don't eat them! Ma po tofu was also very good, as was the other tofu dish (fried with shrimp paste we tried. The squid with salted egg yolk was perhaps a little under seasoned, but maybe this was relative to the more robust flavours in the other dishes. The portions were very generous five dishes shared four ways was too much. You could eat well on three between four and still have something left. The staff were really helpful and friendly (they told us we had ordered too much! . Highly recommended if you know Cantonese food. Highly recommended if you don't.

One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow, authentic dim sum and great service

Amazing authentic Cantonese food! We walked in with very little expectation with it being the only restaurant opened in the “Chinatown” area. The staff spoke Cantonese which already gave off a friendly vibe. We ordered the lobster noodles, string beans with garlic sauce, deep fried squid and 3combination roast meats ーthe roast duck was one of the best we’ve had in the UK, including London. The lobster was cooked perfectly, the noodles were crispy and soaked the flavourful spring onion sauce. We polished off every dish despite being overwhelmingly full! We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, in fact we’re only staying in Glasgow for 2 days but are considering going back to try their dim sum menu... Lastly, with their ‘dine out to help out’ participation, it makes eating there an absolute steal! £33.90 for everything we ordered for 3 people!

The service was quick and the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious, especially the calamari, pasta, and yellow glasses. The portions were generous, making it a great place for families to share meals. The bakery also impressed me with a variety of freshly baked Chinese desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant!
