China Blue in Glasgow City

Fantastic night amazing food . Great value for money . Yes, here I go toilets could have been cleaner 😁😁 another wee fab night

Reasonably priced food. Authentic Chinese food! I know this is random but we always love to order the Thai style crispy chicken dish there it’s awesome! 4 main dishes with rice and tea for only 18£ per pax (5 of us ate together) and food was good portion too!

Very good food and very nice service.

An unpleasant dining experience due to the server forbidding me from bringing my own beverage. According to an investigation, this violates the Consumer Rights Protection Law and is considered illegal. The incident occurred while I was shopping and bought a cup of milk tea, which I had not finished before my meal. When I ordered at the restaurant, I was told that I could not bring the milk tea inside, and they demanded that I leave it at the front desk. I hope this illegal practice can be improved.

This is the best Chinese food I have had in UK

What a find The food is very good the service very good and friendly and all at a dairbprice

So glad we found this place! The food was delicious and everyone was so kind - the service was fab!

This place is amazing we have been so many times with our family and just as a couple staff so friendly and nothing is a bother had a great meal for 2 last nite would defo recommend this place a hidden gem some staff been the same for years so that is also a good.

A very drab entrance hides an even drabber restaurant but dont let that put you off visiting as the food makes up for it. Always busy with local Chinese and very pleasant and helpful staff. They have an excellent 2/3 course pre-theatre for £17 with a great selection of dishes. Toilets are upstairs with no obvious disabled access so if you are in a wheelchair best to phone ahead. If they gave thus place a make over they would rake it in but all the diners always seem content so maybe not!!

Delicious authentic Chinese food with an excellent service in a a very quaint setting. Food is rich in flavors and good sized portions. Very good value for money. Definitely recommend and will return on our next visit to Glasgow.

Traveling with work you often have to take a risk on the unknown. This was one of those risks that really paid off. Mid week it was fairly quiet so not buzzing but that didn't matter. The service was good and the staff attentive. I did feel a little pre judged when before we sat the chop sticks where whisked away only for me to then have to ask for some. But that's a tiny grumble and was more than made up for by the excellent food. We shared a starter and only had one serving of rice but that was enough as the main course was large enough to satisfy without being too much. I have and will recommend China blue to any colleague traveling to Glasgow.

Glad we found this wee place! Food was excellent and the staff were amazing....very polite and welcoming. Prices were really decent too! Didn't overcrowd you, or rush you out! My only downfall is the stairs, as I am disabled and use a stick...but will definitely be back 😋🤤

Great Chinese food in a casual, modern setting with good service and attentive staff. Portion sizes are generous with a wide selection of dishes available.

Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend to all my friends!

Hadn’t managed to visit here for around 4 years. So glad we had the opportunity to go back! The service is outstanding. So many polite, friendly and knowledgeable staff that each interaction was brilliant. Special mention to Cindy. You are such a lovely person, you welcomed us in like family and took such care of us it was much appreciated. The food is incredible. A huge menu catering for those who like traditional Chinese food, British style and just want some light bites. Pre theatre menu available. All our food was hit, fresh and tasty. Cannot wait to be in Glasgow again! Thanks to you all :-)

Delicious and authentic Chinese food in Glasgow area. Came back again after our first visit. We especially like the 梅菜扣肉 (pork with salted vegetable) which was marinated well and not too salty. The roasted duck 烧鸭 was good too, although it was sold out when we came the first time. The service staff were also very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for Chinese food in central Glasgow.

(Update 2024-05: Beware dishes labelled with a green (V) may not actually be vegetarian when served, especially when you have a table of meat and non meat eaters. Manager gave the excuse of “do any of you not eat meat” and “you should have let us know when you ordered”, though eventually apologised and gave us half price off that one dish.) Was here for dinner with relatives on a Sunday evening. Not the most fancy atmosphere, but appeared cleanish. Food wise, so far this is one of the best in the city centre and I can't believe I've gone past it so many times without giving the place a thought, the entrance is so unassuming. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, you do need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the place. Would recommend the Tofu with Chinese Leaf & Glass Noodles (146), which they apparently use their own egg tofu. The sauce for the Mixed Vegetables with Malaysian Curry (224) was out-of-this-world, but I wasn't much of a fan with the vegetables used (my relatives liked them though). We did find the side portion of stir fried noodles far too salty, though this was the only downfall for the food. They did get one of our orders wrong (despite naming it and pointing it at the menu when ordering) and later claimed not to be in a position to correct it. Whatever arrived looked nice and a lot cheaper so we just let it go. Service was friendly, helpful, but a little clumsy.

Best Chinese food ever had. Service spot on, very reasonable priced. Good selection of wine with lovely glasses. We had Singapore chow main, honey chilli chicken and sizzling Fillet beef. Gorgeous

Ordered seafood and BBQ combo. Very authentic Cantonese taste. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

What an amazing experience coming here. We got such a warm welcome, and every member of the team were so friendly. It was clear that they were all 100% committed to ensuring each person had a wonderful meal. in lovely surroundings. My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal, and it was lovey to see white cloths on all the tables. It was a real joy to go there. It was busy too, as on Saturday night, but the staff were so welcoming to everyone, and so attentive. We recommend this restaurant, as top notch!

This is place is a hidden gem it’s great Chinese would defo recommend being lots of times and we go for family birthdays they go out of way to accommodate it was my husbands birthday and I said and they brought out a cake and it was really nice will defo be back

4 of us visiting Glasgow had dinner here. Just randomly picked it as we walked passed. Just a door on the street, with the dining are upstair. A traditional feel to a Chinese resteraunt, with very helpful staff, who knew the menu well. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals and had a drink each too and it was averaged out at under £30 each. Well worth a visit.

Wow just had meal absolutely beautiful meal deffo recommend

Went here for a works do 16 of us, the staff were amazing, couldn't do enough for us, food very tasty. I would highly recommend

We saw that China blue on Tripadvisor was number two out of best Chinese restaurants. After a long train journey we wanted lunch. With friendly so welcoming, the atmosphere was beautiful and the restaurant was busy . We chose scallops starter they had to be the best scallops I’ve ever tasted . The food was genius superb and amazing.. the staff chatty and friendly and genuinely wanted to know, was everything okay. We will return again, next time we are in Glasgow Thank you, China, blue

First review I ever ever done but I feel this is well deserved . Our of Family of 3 went in and got a very warm welcome and taken to our table . Great waiter/waitress service.food came out and looked good and well presented in a dried noodle bowl and on plates.but when I tasted my food I can honestly say it is by far THE BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT I have ever eaten in so much so that I probably won't eat a Chinese meal again untill I'm back in Glasgow next October .I meet the chef and gave him my compliment lovely man and him nd waiter started chatting to us about ireland 🇮🇪 as we are irish. Top class food top class service .I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

My partner and I visited for the first time yesterday, we were very happy with the service received and quality of the food served. Lovely warm welcome, and nice atmosphere. Small touches we liked were real linen napkins and nice wine glasses. Food was delicious,well presented and we'll definitely be back. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious authentic Chinese cuisine and reasonably priced too. Huge selection of dishes to choose from. Highly recommend.

Staff very friendly and the food was very nice highly recommended

Endeavouring to try out some different restaurants..and maybe being subconsciously aware of the Lunar New Yesr it was time for some Cantonese food. Enter China Blue.....up an inauspicious looking stair off Renfield St. The restaurant is a pleasant and quite cosy room...tables nicely decked...pleased to see tablecloths which, for me, immediately elevate any restaurant. Relaxed and friendly service was the order of the day and we ate from the lunch menu. Good spare ribs then Kung Po King Prawn for TT were both good ( main course was a better portion than the ribs)...TT Junior went for Sweet and Sour King Prawn after a pretty jumbo-sized Spring Roll ( she was struggling to eat it all in the end...ha ha..cue TT stepping in to polish it all off!). Good fried rice in a good sized helping... lovely big pot of jasmine tea ( bargain of the whole menu I'd say). No nonsense place with good food. TT recommends and will go back. Maybe tidy up the stairs a bit??

Food was very good and pleasant staff, but please pay particular attention to temperature, my food wasnt hot enough and dont like sending food back Stairs to toilets need attention, and toilets need more upgrade!

Can’t rate this place enough. Food was amazing and the staff were brilliant so attentive. It was my daughters birthday and all the staff turned out to sing to her as her cake was brought out such lovely touch. Amazing value for money .. can’t wait to go back!

We ate here on the 3rd Feb. I hadn't been here before and when I arrived I thought it looked a bit drab..I did notice that there were a number of Asians eating there which is usually a good sign. The menu was very extensive and interesting. The service was amazing and the food was faultless. We had a range of dishes and they were all brilliant. We will be coming back.

Very extensive menu, but still went above and beyond to provide a special dish request. The food was delicious and well priced with friendly, efficient service. Wish we had this restaurant near us!

Been coming to China Blue for a long, long time, with the missus, family and friends. I've never had a bad meal or experience in the place. I'm not an adventurous eater(I know what I like and happy with that, usually), but I can honestly say this is probably the only place where I'll voluntarily order something I've never tasted before. Staff are attentive and pleasant without being intrusive. Only a couple of gripes, it's not open later and a bit cold sometimes (but not uncomfortably so). The food is stunning!

My personal favourite in Glasgow city centre. The chow mein is the best in Glasgow!!

Arrived 3 hours before closing and they said they had stopped serving food

Fantastic food and service, excellent value, thank you! Would definitely recommend, it’s very clean.

Slightly hidden away gem of a place. Best Chinese food I’ve ever had and great staff! We all stuffed ourselves silly and had a great time. We’ll be back!!!

Found this restaurant by looking online for somewhere nice to go as we were down for the weekend xmas shopping, lovely restaurant, food amazing and staff very polite and always making sure we were ok, would def come back here again.

Great food . Had the lunch deal great price

Absolute madness. Phoned for a takeaway, 1 curry with fried rice - shop wanted £20.20. Never have I seen a takeaway anywhere expecting £20 for 1 chicken curry with rice.

Great food, great service and great staff, Food was amazing, lovely restaurant very comfortable and peaceful

My new fav Chinese in glasgow excellent menu authentic and Uk classics staff supper friendly and the food was well presented and tasted great

First time trying this restaurant and the food was delicious bursting with flavour! The staff were also very warm and welcoming.

China blue is our favourite restaurant in Glasgow! We try to come here once a month and really look forward to it every time. The service is impeccable from the moment you arrive and the food is outstanding. We've recommended here to our visiting family/friends and they've always loved it!

We got Char siu fried rice, chow mein beef and hot and sour soup. All meat is well cooked!!! Flavoursome!!! Will definitely come back.

Food was amazing, service was just as good, highly recommend.

Found this place by chance. Really enjoyed the food and price was good

Delicious food, pleasant excellent service.

reurned to china blue after a few years away..what a great choice .I had no booking but the waiter laid a new table for us. Our meal was truly excellent and I was guide through the a la carte by the lovely lady manager..choosed the monkfish with ginger and garlic , it was exceptional my wife chose from the pre thatre and was delighted with her choices.But the best thing was the servers and manager ,itwas like stepping into your mothers kitchen, all the staff in the restaurant stopped to talk and asked about our meal.I was very happy that it didnt have too many tables and the majority of the diners were Chinese..good sign. l would return to this restaurant at the drop of a hat.. keep up the good work

Very attentive excellent service outstanding quality of food full of the local Chinese community which shows just how good the food is for some reason my chips were burnt but mains and started excellent would highly recommend.

Very friendly and helpful staff, very nice food. Definitely worth trying!

Chinese New Year dinner like no others As Chinese New Year approaches, we eagerly anticipated a memorable reunion dinner at China Blue as we had a magical reunion dinner here last year. The restaurant did not disappoint, delivering an exceptional Chinese New Year feast that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

chinese new year dinner like no others. As chinese new year approaches, we eagerly anticipated a memorable reunion dinner at china blue

I must say, they have a strict policy against bringing your own drinks. As for the dining experience, the food is delightful, but the ambiance leaves much to be desired. The floorboards are rather creaky, and even a passerby can make your table feel like a mini earthquake.

Egg Fried rice was nice and the spicy chicken (honey and chilli) was very good too. The curry sauce however was dreadful. Had a weird smokey BBQ taste and was very watery. Possibly the worst curry sauce I've ever had. Ended up eating the rice dry; lucking it was high quality enough to stand alone. Wait for takeaway was long. Ordered 12 mins in advance and still ended up waiting 15 mins. They also don't have a dedicated waiting area and seem to be more of a sit down restaurant. This resulted in me waiting at a table in the dining area which was awkward for me and probably the dinners and staff. Also to access requires walking up several flights of stairs so it is not wheelchair accessible at all. Last thing, I found the man who answered my phone call a bit rude and short. Not great overall.

Great quality vegetarian options. The tofu is truly excellent. The staff are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.

Very reasonably priced theatre menu, good night out with friends

China blue offers some of the best Chinese cuisine you could find in Merchant City. It has a warm and cozy atmosphere, which led us to visit the restaurant regularly after our frisbee session. My personal favourite is the silver needle noodles or LauShuFen in Mandarin, a rather traditional dish which I would assume is the only restaurant that would serve it in Glasgow. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for some authentic Chinese cuisine in Glasgow city centre.

Before heading to the famous King Tuts my friend and I decided to go for dinner and went for this place as it is well known in Glasgow . Overall this was a brilliant choice . The decor is really nice with a good atmosphere....

Working in Glasgow we visited blue china and I can honestly say it was brilliant we didn’t book a table and when we walked in didn’t think we would get a table was very busy!! But the staff couldn’t do enough and soon had us sat down the meal was perfect hot very tasty and fresh will def go back when ever we return thanks blue china 🙏👍🏻

The staff were so helpful in making my choice of food. It was delicious and I would certainly recommend coming here. Authentic food well cooked and presented. Fabulous staff. Don’t change a thing it’s perfect.

Best Chinese food I've had for a long time. If the locals eat there it must be good. A big thumbs up. Will be back.

Beautiful food ,fantastic flavour ,correct portions for me ,great service and lovely atmosphere 😁

Hidden gem of a restaurant, entrance looks a bit shabby however restaurant is spotlessly clean, staff are very welcoming and nothing is a bother. This is our 4th time eating here and have absolutely no complaints, will definately return.

Food was amazing and service was really Impressive. Will defo be back.

Some of the best Chinese food in Glasgow is served up here, consistently good. Get the Thai style Chicken.

Had a lovely lunch with my sister , food was pretty good and decent size portions . Didn't have any cranberry juice ( my fav ) and a bottle of water was 3 quid , charges may reflect it's located in the city centre we would definitely go back

We faccied some Chinese food after a day out in the city so we Googled for restaurants near our hotel and China Blue was one of the search results. Having read some of the reviews we decided to book a table, we opted for the pre-theatre menu as it looked like good value. On arrival it is just a doorway on the street and then stairs up into the restaurant. The restaurant is certainly not fancy so if you like a bit of luxury then it's probably not the place for you. We were welcomed and shown to our table, we ordered drinks and perused the menu. I asked if there were onions in a particular dish but was told I could have the dish exactly as I wanted and it wouldn't be a problem. The food was absolutely sensational, the quantity and quality of the chicken in my dish was just superb. The staff were excellent, friendly, welcoming and attentive. Many of the reviews we read said that this place is a hidden gem and that's exactly what it is. Quite probably the best Chinese food my wife and I have enjoyed and we will definitely make a point of returning some time in the future. Thanks for the experience.

Visited China Blue, 19/07/2023 as it was recommended. 99% of clientele were Chinese which was a good sign. Ordered two starters, prawn toast & salt & pepper ribs which were very tasty but the two main courses were absolutely delicious, shredded battered chicken in honey...

Best chinese food I've had in a long time it's a shame I live in Newcastle because I would come here often

Friendly staff. Setting is ok. Food could be better, starter was quite scabby lots of onions & barely any chicken. Beef dish I felt the meat could have been cooked longer.

What a wonderful restaurant. Excellent food, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Music was easy listening Jazz and non intrusive. I had the spicy pork with boiled rice and my partner had the pork noodle soup. Safe to say we will definitely return as there was so many things on the menu we both wanted to try.

The food and the service in this restaurant is exceptional. My husband and I visit Glasgow every now and again and have been a few times to this restaurant. On this occasion we shared a chicken satay starter followed by Malaysian Chicken Curry, Clay Pot...

This is a superb chinese cuisine dining experience.From the moment you arrive,you are ushered to your table by attentive, friendly staff.The menu is huge with many authentic ethnic dishes .There is a huge seafood choice but there is something for everyone. We just had to have the obligatory Prawn crackers, warm and crispy as they should be.The perfect starter for the tastebuds.Tonight, we had the works. Fish, chicken, beef, vegetables, fried and boiled rice.Every dish was perfection.Please see photographs. At 96 Renfield St, China Blue is easy to pass by as there is just a single door on the street but a short ,unchallenging walk upstairs takes you to a huge restaurant space , the decor of which is exactly what a chinese restaurant should be. It is comfortable,classy and welcoming.Dining here will be a guaranteed rewarding experience perfect for any special occasion.

Utterly tremendous! Superb quality food, friendly but not intrusive service, and a relaxed & pleasant table layout set-up. Dinner for 4 - starters & mains, plus 8 bottles of beer (Tsing- Tao) £139 (no service charge). Hot and Sour & Wonton soup starters were magnificent,...

Food was very nice. Prices were decent. Staff friendly and helpful.

Found this place using an internet search for restaurants near our hotel. Glad we chose China Blue as it is a true gem. Service is great and the menu is brilliant. The quality of the food is faultless. I totally recommend anyone seeking good Chinese...

This place is just fantastic, probably the finest Chinese food anywhere in Scotland. The service is second to none and nothing seems to be too much trouble. I can only warn of the possibility of indigestion as you will want to eat the amazing food...

Very good restaurant . We had the lunch menu, which had excellent choices . Staff friendlty and attentive .

Fabulous Restaurant, we came up for a weekend in Glasgow and found this place whilst walking past. The staff were lovely and fitted us in even though they were really busy. The food was amazing. Well worth a visit. We will definitely be back.

Visited this restaurant whilst on a short visit to Glasgow, and so glad that we did. The welcome was warm and friendly which is always a good sign. The service was great always with a smile. The food was exceptional , having dined in many...

food was good. mostly asian diners so that is usually my litmus! mostly authentic- slight marks off for the wonton soup noodles being in the wrong broth- still, v tasty. service staff clearly busy but still helpful which we appreciated. food was a little slow...

We ate here pre theatre and WOW the food is second to none. Hidden away little gem of a restaurant, so glad we stumbled upon it when looking for somewhere near to our hotel. Lots of chinese customers, always a good sign, very welcoming and...

Brilliant meal with family the food was great as was the service, very busy and beef curry was very tender. Would highly recommend and visit again

Had Singapore fried noodles and they were excellent. Partner had Tofu with Monkfish which was first class. Nice ambience and good value for money. All round excellent.

Nice small and busy restaurant. Good food well priced and lots of chinese people eating there. I will definately be back while I am working in glasgow

7 días fuera de casa y esta es, con mucho, la mejor comida que hemos tenido. El personal fue amable, atento y muy eficiente. ¡Mi esposo es un gran fanático del cangrejo de caparazón blando y se dio el gusto de tenerlo como entrante y como plato principal! ! Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante. ?

Came here on Friday night, it was a little strange as we were the only table in throughout our visit. The food and service were excellent, would definitely recommend

Mi esposa y yo también estuvimos aquí el viernes y el restaurante estaba bastante lleno, así que no entiendo la crítica anterior. Esta fue mi primera vez aquí en años. Es un restaurante chino tradicional de Glasgow. La comida es sencilla pero muy buena (el mejor Satay que he tenido en mucho tiempo). El servicio fue amigable y eficiente. Con un menú previo al teatro que cuesta menos de 13 años, también tiene una muy buena relación calidad-precio; volveremos.

No he salido a comer comida china durante mucho tiempo y creo que ha pasado más de un año desde que comí aquí. Creo que la nueva decoración es preciosa y la comida sigue siendo estupenda. Tuve la carne con curry malasio, que estaba muy sabroso. Definitivamente no esperaré tanto hasta que regrese.

Ordered food and it arrived with rice missing. Phoned and they said I could get extra rice next time which wasn't much use. Then said they would arrange refund. This was 2 weeks ago and has not happened.

This restaurant is very handy for central Glasgow. It is upstairs. Service is very attentive,food is tasty and good value-ideal venue after visiting the cinema.

Visited this restaurant when we got lost looking for another. Sometimes fate leads you to where you should be and this was one of those times that fate came up trumps. We both thoroughly enjoyed our duck and our mains were very good. We’re back in Glasgow next week, let’s hope we can find it again!

Authentic Chinese food. Food is good but not great. Chinese tea was good Steamed chicken was good Dim sum was not good at all. Food was better on previous visits

I travel up to Glasgow from Yorkshire for work and I always visit here. I stumbled across it and am so glad I did. I’ve dined here several times and never had a bad experience. Last night I had pork dumplings and salt and pepper chicken followed by Malaysian chicken curry with rice. Each dish as always was fresh, tasty and nothing was left. My go to Cantonese when in the city. Will not disappoint.

Spur of the moment visit to a great Chinese restaurant with superb food and super friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

visited here ordered chicken noodle soup and char sui fried rice.soup was lukewarm,had 2 thin strips of chicken and was tasteless.on to char sui which was dry and hard and I left more than half of it.i was there from 12am till 12.45 on a Friday and was the only customer sitting in a cold restaurant with 2 waitresses,says it all.
