Chinese Kitchen in Glasgow City

Went with the better half for lunch. Menu clearly on display at the counter or you could take one to a table. Loads to choose from both the standard and the 2 course menu. We chose from the 2 course menu which was £8.50 each. The salt and pepper chips where lovely and the chicken in black bean sauce was the BEST chinese food i have ever had. 100 per cent will go back, a hidden gem in Glasgow

Had the beef and potatoes with white rice and it was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Absolutely amazing

It's nice staff but food not halal ordered vegetarian options casual chips eith curry sauce & plain chow mein decent sitting area, food was OK tasty curry sauce .

Got shredded chicken and put sour sauce in with it clearly never asked for that food is terrible and don't understand English clearly

Food was excellent and super big portions.

Been twice in the last week great food quick service and great price for 2 course for £8.50 and large portions we will be back soon very busy between 12.45 and 2 pm but worth a wait for a table

Mapo tofu is fantastic. Good portion size for a fair price, already excited to go back

Amazing food, absolutely lovely service (they kept checking everything was okay and that we enjoyed the food, which we LOVED). And so so cheap I can’t believe it. I had fish noodle soup, pork buns and some other dim sum and it was all amazing, delicious and authentic

No frills, just tasty and warming dishes. Great portion sizes, fair prices. Cash only though! Recommend the soup noodles and soup dumplings!

CASH ONLY. Aside from the annoyance of having to go get money from a cash point just to grab some casual food in a mall food court, we were excited for some good Chinese food after a long journey to Glasgow. The food was mid. I didn't have particularly high expectations for Chinese food in Scotland tbh as it doesn't have a great reputation for being authentic. It was nice to see a Chinese menu. It is packed full of items that are not on the confusing English menu. The English menu is basically useless for any anglophone who wants legit Chinese food here. Thankfully, I was with a Chinese person who can read the real menu. That said, the flavours were a let down. It seemed a bit bland and lacking. It wasn't bad at all, just not that good. It seemed a little toned down like they're making it for British taste buds, even though the majority of people eating there were are Asian. Or maybe it was just an off day. I'm not sure. Maybe by Scottish standards this is cheap, but for anybody else, this was VERY expensive for the portion size and quality of the food. £13-15 for basic fried noodles or beef noodle soup is completely outrageous to me for what we got and the fact it has all the ambience of eating mediocre street food in a rundown underground mall food court. It's good for a quick bite if you're not too picky, and maybe this is the best Glasgow has to offer for Chinese food (which would be sad), but I don't think I'd bother coming back. Not at those prices.

Me and my wife had the 2 course meal for £8.50p pp and really enjoyed the meal.I had the Chicken and rice Soup and Chicken curry with chips and my Wife had the soft drink and Chinese chicken and onions with fried rice.Staff where pleasant.Will definitely be back.

Food was amazing, cannot recommend enough! Service was prompt and food was super well priced. The smell of the food from this place should be enough to draw anyone in 😅

Unassuming atmosphere, delicious food. I thought I didn't like sweet and sour chicken, turns out I just never had had GOOD sweet and sour chicken before. Fried rice was still very light. Fried pork dumplings were my favoeite.

We found this hidden place inside the Savoy Centre and decided to give it a try. The owners are originally from Fujian as my girlfriend and so we ordered some typical dishes from that region. The ingredients might be not the freshest you can find but the taste is definitely there. Good dishes, well made and rich of flavors and very generous portions. This is only the second place I found since I’m Europe (29y) who makes dishes typically from Fujian. Very good value for money and also the service is quick and kind

The spicy braised beef noodle is so so good

Super cute and chilled atmosphere in the market area, very quick, cheap and tasty food. Service is good and the staff are very attentive. Many Asians eating here too, so you know it’s good!

Great food, well worth the price

The most authentic place you can find at a very reasonable price. Oyster cakes and Beef Offal noodles are must try dishes. They also have set menus for locals, but I would suggest stepping out of your usual palate to try a real Chinese taste.

Really big portions and flavourful Real Authentic must get the Soya Bean Juice and add a little bit sugar

Thought they have several menus and we were a bit confused about it, the foods are lovely and the price was reasonable. It was a little bit disappointed that they served a can of Sprite even we ordered 7-up (which the picture was on the menu) and they didn’t tell us that there was no stock of 7-up or anything.

I never usually write reviews, but this place is incredible I just had to. The service is incredibly fast and the staff are very friendly and attentive. I think the place is family run which adds to the good vibes. Olive Tree is cash only but this will help keep prices cheap. The £8.50 lunch deal will get you a big starter and an absolutely giant main course; in all honestly the food is not the best i’ve had - but it is still delicious and this is understandable with such quick service. You won’t have to wait any longer than 10 minutes for your meal. My favourites are the beef in black bean and the sweet and sour chicken. This place is a hidden gem that I cannot recommend more!!! (I couldn’t wait to take a photo before I dug in!)

This little kitchen was delicious and I have already gone back twice. It's so popular, queue to be seated and so many options. We had beef noodles And the soup Both delicious!!

Fab fab fab wee place to have lunch. Great for the price and the quality of food. My partner always has the brisket beef noodle and I am still going on the list with the lunch menu but overall great portion and variety of food. Siumai was nice as well! And if you're indonesian, they have lomaigai and odading (fried sweet dough) during lunch! Absolutly love the odading so much it brings back memories!!

The dumplings here are delicious! The noodles are also very good! It's like domestic street food, and the atmosphere is also like domestic. The sisters are very kind and cute!

Very fresh and nice Chinese food. The Chinese fried dough and daily freshly made soy milk was very good.

Great food quick service .love it.

Tasty traditional Chinese food, served super quick and friendly staff. Will definitely come back!

Great Chinese sit in, great prices and food, always 5 stars

The food was okay, but the staff attitude stinks,walked in and nobody bothered to ask or bring the menu ihad to get it myself, then I spilled the soup, I informed one of the staff about this and was instead handed a blue roll to clean it MYSELF. UNBELIEVABLE! I am spending my money and nobody cares about customer service?Will not be back or recommend to anyone,

Really nice sit down Chinese food, good quality and cheap meals. They have a Chinese menu and English menu.

Fabulous little find. ♥️ helpful staff, delicious food. £44.00 for lunch for 3. The wonton soup and spicy beef soup were stunning.

Ordered the beef offal noodles and wonton noodles. The broth was spot on! Only complaint is that there were only 4 wontons in the wonton noodles.

Fast cheap Chinese food. Always busy. Cash only!

Saw this place on social media, so wanted to try it out. Food was okay, nothing special. My soup noodle was salty but didn’t want to complain to staff as they looked grumpy. The 2 chefs in kitchen looked busy and under pressure so didn’t want to inconvenience them. It is very popular with Asian students but can’t recommend the food as we didn’t enjoy our meal. There are better Asian restaurants in Glasgow who also serve this type of Asian cuisine, and with better surroundings. However, if you just want a cheap meal or snack and not bothered about standards of service, then you may as well check it out

First time in here today.. very good food no frills place but very fast service and really tasty.. when I seen the amount of Chinese people eating here I knew it must be good.. wasn't disspaointed. Brilliant fried rice..... proper hidden gem

Amazing food. Fast service and delicious Secret Chinese Gem in Glasgow !

Great food and cheap prices. Got the spicy braised beef noodle soup and it was delicious.

Don't use the English menu. Just point to something someone else is eating and you'll get some of the most legit and best value Chinese food in town

Amazing food at great prices. I enjoy the 2 course lunch for £6.80. It’s a no frills restaurant with some of the best Chinese food in Glasgow, there’s a reason why Chinese people eat there!

Amazing food amazing staff cooked fresh when you order wait a little time but so worth it xx

Freshly cooked street food as it should be and well priced. Tables and chairs bit basic but...

THE OLIVE TREE FOOD IS BRILL, WHICH IS WHY THE CHINESE PEOPLE EAT THERE, AGAIN ONE OF THE PLACES WHERE THE FOOD IS GREAT, BETTER THAN ANY FANCY LOOKING JOINTS. GREAT PRICES, ALL HOME MADE 😁 PORK SOUP RICE NOODLES WITH VEGETABLES .GREAT. STEAMED MEAT BUN. BEEN THERE DOZENS OF TIMES
