Ho Wong in Glasgow City

Went in to see if they had a table - the girl approached us and said wait here and I'll check and came back to say they were full - I asked if there would be a table later and she said very bluntly fully booked and turned her back and walked away. Quite rude and no need for it to be honest as I was only asking a simple question.

A varied menu that never fails to satisfy. It is real food, nicely made. They are also able to modify dishes for allergies ( a testament to the live kitchen)! The staff are attentive, professional and helpful. The decor is beautiful and it is a pleasure to eat here. Prices are reasonable for the quality and ambience. Definitely somewhere you could keep coming back to.

Amazing - Best Chinese in Glasgow Expensive but your get what you pay for It’s a must visit if you like Chinese food

We had a table of four which we prebooked on the day. Our table was for 8pm but we arrived earlier as we had parked already and they have a lounge so a couple of pre meal drinks. I have to say they staff were very rude, they seemed aggrevied that we arrived early and thought we hadn't booked. Explained our table was later and we wanted a drink first, the lady serving us snorted and walked off. Another waitress came over and was better. The meal itself was just average, mostly standard fair nothing extraordinary. The chicken soup was OK but I found the chicken a bit 'smelly' didn't seem overly fresh. Mains, I had chicken black bean sauce which was better but still not really any better than your standard takeaway food. The bill for four was £245 which in my opinion is way overpriced. Sure the restaurant is nice and looks great but the service and food doesn't justify the cost. Supposedly fine dining but it definitely isn't. I would not return or recommend this restaurant unfortunately.

Really lovely restaurant. Food was absolutely amazing. Lived upto the expectations set by everyone. The duck pancakes were just out of this world. So hard to get booked but really glad we managed. Staff were very attentive. The atmosphere was great as the place was packed. The only slight negative was that the service was slightly slow and we were asked to leave our table the moment we put our cutlery down. I understand it’s busy but another few minutes would have been good. Overall would highly recommend and love to go back in the future to work my way through the whole menu. The wine was also 10/10

Had the lunch menu with my friend. Great choice of food and good sized portions. Lovely decorated restaurant with a busy vibe. Service was excellent from start to finish. Have already booked for lunch again.

I'm afraid my experience this afternoon was not the greatest,as a family of five we booked for a mother's day meal,the service was poor the staff looked and acted if they had been sacked,the food was mediocre,when the appointed time came for us to vacate they couldn't have been more clock watching,when we went to collect our coats they they were thrown on the back of a couch minus one jacket,sorry won't be back.

This is the best Chinese food in the whole of Glasgow I ate here for my girlfriends birthday and it was fantastic

Absolutely horrible service we had yesterday lunchtime... was looking forward of going for such a long time but it was really disappointing.. the lady waitress looked and spoke to me like I was stupid when I ask about the spring rolls if they were chicken or veg and no one came to ask if we liked the food I was at one point saying something to the waitress about the water and she just walked away won't be going back.

Amazing meal as always been going for over 20 years and the service and food is the best in Glasgow if not the UK. Thanks for looking after my daughter so well she loved her kids chopsticks and never seen her eat so much. See you soon.

Got invited to go to a 70th birthday party lunch 21 guests the service and food was exellent photos were taken but private

Best place ever , best Chinese food in Glasgow never had a bad experience 10/10

Absolutely amazing food, staff were very friendly and attentive. A little expensive but over all worth the expense.

Fantastic food and service never wavers from being top notch food. Staff excellent always attentive. Exceptional value for money. Can't wait to go back.

The best Chinese restaurant in Scotland!

Went on Christmas Day dinner was amazing and the service was the best..cant praise the staff enough.

Went for Christmas dinner, we were welcomed by a crowd of people waiting to be seated as they still hadn't turned over the previous sitting, which was ok. Once we sat down, 20 mins to take our drink order and 45 to take our food order . We ordered soup and spare ribs as a starter, so nothing particularly complicated but they took 45mins to come out. Mains were served over an hour after starters. Given the long wait we asked if we could have some prawn crackers which they tried to charge us 11£ a basket for. Service was not only slow, but most plates were basically tossed at us on the table. Desserts were basic (no surprise there) however cheesecakes came frozen solid and sent back. Very crammed and noisy environment with no music or ambiance. Sat 3.5h for a 3 course meal, with waiters only turning up to try and pour our wine to get us to drink more without clearing empties. Overall, really poor service and quality of food, could've gotten the same quality from a takeaway and paid a fraction of the price. Wouldn't go back or reccomend

I went to the ho wong on Saturday with family and friends. We love it there as the staff are Soo friendly and always welcome you in and get seated quickly. Everyone is just Soo attentive and want you to have the best experience. The food is amazing and I can't fault them on anything, as we have been there before and Everytime it's just amazing and the atmosphere is quite nice. Would highly recommend.

my niece who is 11 was accused of putting a hair in food and the guy paraded the hair very rude and not great customer service and made her feel bad i have been in the service industry for 27 years and not come across such arrogance we paid £500 for our meal and they said they needed the table not a great night as we where celebrating our family and our 40th wedding anniversary if it wasn’t for my family you spoilt our night also when i spoke about my dissatisfaction he he waved his fist never would i recommend this restaurant looks like they where just there for the money

Food is the best Chinese I've had in a long time. Also I left my bag at the restaurant and the staff were very helpful in getting it back to me.

Ate here tonight as a group of 16. Food, service, decor all fantastic

Best Cantonese in all of Scotland!

Really enjoyed eating at Ho Wong. The staff, the food, and the ambience were all spot on. The best dish has to be the Hot and Sour Soup and Honey Chicken. Highly recommend.

We had booked a table for four at 5pm and arrived on time, Lovely decor and surroundings, After being seated I immediately felt one member of staff a bit pushy for us to order and I had to ask if we could have a couple of minutes to look over the menu and discuss what we would be having, Service was very quick after ordering and although I had to wait for my order that was delivered to our table to be changed because it was wrong and not for me generally everything was fine, Food was to be honest nothing to write home about and was a bit pricey for what you get, Atmosphere was generally good although very noisy at the rear of the restaurant, I noticed there was an older man standing in the middle of the restaurant and watching over all the staff and it was himself who eventually took our payment and this is were it upset myself and our party, My wife had taken a bit longer to input her card details as she was adding the tip and he said the card payment didn't go through and grabbed the card machine from her after a hand gesture and this made me very angry to be treated like this, The payment was fine after a second go but we felt that this member of staff was so impatient and so arrogant and he knew we were unhappy but it didn't bother him in the slightest, It made our departure a bit awkward having to walk by him and the look we got from him wasn't very nice, I personally wouldn't eat here again after this situation and there are definitely better restaurants in town and more appreciated of our custom.

I’ve been a regular at this mediocre restaurant for some time now. This dusty establishment has some of the worst attitude I have ever experienced and all for some average food. Take a long look in the mirror before you start your shift tomorrow and cheer up. 0/10 would not recommend. P.s You could do with upgrading to a better grade of beef while you are reassessing your customer service standards

Never disappoints. Five star experience everytime

The renowned beautiful looking restaurant of Ho Wong. Splendid food, attentive and efficient customer service. Will be back!

Too expensive, I spent over 50 pounds for a take-away for two people(2 veg and 1 prawn only). Nice dec inaide though.

Will never come here again walked in at 5pm as they opened and tables were fully empty but they refused to give us a seat and said they were fully booked .I didn’t see any tables full.I will lever come back with my family again and neither will I recommend it to anyone.

My daughter was there with her partner last night for her birthday meal along with my grandaughter who is (7months old) the table was booked for 6pm , they were out by 7pm , not only that , on arrival they sighed and told them NO PRAMS , then they were put at at table away from everyone , everytime my grandaughter made a noise the staff were staring over they were rude and made them rush and feel unwelcome , what a waste of money on food that they didn't enjoy , didn't look up to much. Needles to say the won't be back . Not child friendly in 2023 SHOCKING

Absolutely fantastic experience but then again, it always is.

Food was 10/10 however, the service was disappointing. The lady in charge was extremely hard working - however we felt rushed - like we were on a conveyer belt. Giving constructive feedback to hopefully improve so we can return for a better experience. Thank you.

Food we had was delicious service first class atmosphere lovely

Very good food if not a bit pricey tbh

Great food, grear surroundings and impeccably good service. 👍

Lovely restaurant, food was great and staff very attentive and friendly 👍😁

Excellent food with great service in a very pleasant setting

Lovely interiors, great service and lovely food. Highly recommended.

Amazing place. Service is first class. Food is amazing! Will be going back!

By chance I came across this beautiful restaurant in Glasgow tonight, staying @ Hotel Indigo it’s literally across the road, The exterior looked good, clean and well presented, upon entering the decor was stunningly beautiful There was a lovely bar area, with lots of seating, private yet social The welcome was excellent, even thou I was on my own for dinner as staying away in business, the restaurant had a real mix of large tables , couples and individuals didn’t feel uncomfortable at all Great menu, asked for recommendations Had the most tasty, delicate scallops with crisp asparagus so fresh and firm but extremely tasty in a mildly spicily chilli sauce with fried rice Couple of nice Chinese beers too The restaurant had Great atmosphere, service by everyone was unbelievable and decor was stunning Paid £45 approx for a delicious meal , well worth it and would definitely visit again in the near future In fact I’ve just arranged to bring my partner Great not good Chinese restaurants are hard to come by, I visit london often, with the Good Earth on Brompton Road and China Rose in Bawtry, South Yorkshire amongst the very best These are my two Nationwide favourites however this has just moved to being Top of the Lot My Glaswegian friend just asked where I’ve been I said HO WONG He said it’s by far the best in Glasgow I certainly struck lucky This was an excellent experience, not cheap but if anyone likes quality in food, service, decor and ambience visit this place - well worth it

Loved Ho Wong for the last 30 plus years. Great to see a Glasgow institution returning, and visited the new restaurant for the first time 2 weeks ago. Ordered ribs with capital sauce; meaty, tender and delicious! Likewise, the Chicken Satay and Spring Rolls. Visited for a second time this week ordered the ribs and could not have been more different; very little meat, tough and portion size cut back - as were the spring rolls on this visit. Satay was good again but chicken dish I had was disappointing. I advised the server of the ribs and she said she told her manager. But at no point did the manager follow this up and given that the ribs carry a £2 supplement I feel this is a big let down on their part. There seems to be more of a rush to get you out than there is to attention to detail and indeed to address customer feedback.

Wonderful food with great hosts. The decoration is a beautiful oriental design with teal and gold along with excellent lighting. The banquet for 6 or more was varied and filling also. Would highly recommend booking a d visiting if you are in town.

The interior is lovely and high hopes for this restaurant when I walked in £18 for 2 course at lunch, however food just tasted like your Saturday night Chinese takeaway. Service was very good. Need to try once.

Best Chinese restaurant in Glasgow. Excellent service fantasic food and handy location.

Fantastic lunch menu and the service was rapid, exactly what is required for lunch. There were a high number of servers within the restaurant so the customer service was attentive, without being overpowering. Food was amazing.

The best restaurant ever. Food is outstanding and the team there are fabulous. Always have such a lovely time when we go there for dinner. Also do a brill lunch time menu.

Loved this place. Has such a relaxed feel. Food was lovely. Didn’t have curry in menu but staff said they could do it and food came out quickly. Can’t wait to go back x

Stopped in for lunch yesterday, food was amazing as was the service, highly recommend we will be back again soon

First time dining at Ho Wong and have to say the food 🍲 was delicious 😋, staff very attentive and the place is amazing looking but all comes at a heavier price. Drinks are limited on draft beer and very expensive.

We were there to celebrate my sons graduation and this is a fantastic restaurant, the service and food was excellent and couldn't be faulted.

Gorgeous food and great bar/wine selections. We went for a family celebration and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Food and service were amazing. One of my favourite places to eat. I cannot recommend the Ho Wong highly enough, it's fab.

We've been coming to the Ho Wong with our Parents since we were little when it was on York St, and we are still frequent customers in the new premises, and now my siblings and I have our own children and they are new generation No.1 fans, there's no place for Chinese food other than the Ho Wong! 5🌟

Food was ok, wasn't like Wowzas or blown away. Staff were trying their best to be off service for every little thing which was slightly annoying. Hanging around to refill, or serve your food. That's just a personal choice for me. Like to put my own food on my plate etc..

Wanted to try here for so long and it did not dissapoint food was phenomenal

I have read with great interest some of the recent reviews, some of which are quite scathing ,my wife and I frequented the original premises at least once, if not twice a month until the closure. The new premises are fabulous, food as good as ever, and staff delightful. Ok there were a few teething problems, but you expect that with a new opening, we have dined there at least 15 times since the reopening in December and have loved every moment ..Trust me,it's the best! And incidentally if you are looking for chips and curry sauce, do us all a favour and go elsewhere, this is not what the Ho Wong is all about! I can see a pattern emerging with recent reviews, good luck and don't come back!

Friendly staff, excellent service, beautiful food, brilliant ambiance. Highly recommend

As big fans of the previous restaurant in York Street we were excited to dine at the new premises for my mum’s 60th birthday. We were not disappointed! The food was delicious as ever, the service was outstanding as always (I think previous reviewers who complain of “feeling rushed” don’t understand that the staff are just super attentive and efficient). The new decor is absolutely stunning too. Yes it’s not cheap but you are paying for a special dining experience and high quality food, it’s worth the money for a treat. Thank you for making a special desert for us on request (from the old menu) - it made our day. We will definitely be back. We don’t understand how there can be any negative reviews.

Had work lunch there, food was delicious, would highly recommend this place

Second visit and the food is just as lovely. Went for one of the prawn starters and aubergine tofu this time which is 10/10 so tasty. Amazing veggie selection and service. Would recommend 💫

First time in Ho Wong. An amazing experience the restaurant is beautiful and the food equally matched. Staff so friendly! Will be back! *update Came back to Ho Wong and the food was yet again exceptional! I went for the crispy shredded beef and it was the best I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend this place enough, a must try!

I’m giving two stars the first time I visited was in Valentine’s Day and it was amazing everything, then second time was ok too but omg the third time I wasn’t felt welcomed and felt had to rush what to order the waitress nodded her head which to me was extremely rude wanted to say something but remained silent so for this reason I won’t be visiting again they need to up there game and treat customers with upmost respect like they do in dubai they need to look very closely at there customer service. It’s a real shame I would love to go again, but not feeling welcomed puts me right off unfortunately.

Had an amazing lunch here today, staff friendly and attentive. We are already looking forward to coming back. Food was just amazing.

Really good resteraunt with great food.

Food was good but was very overpriced and staff were over attentive to a fault

Visited the Ho Wong for lunch today. IT WAS SUPERB. I've hunted high and low throughout Scotland looking for the BEST EVER chicken satay and today I found it at the Ho Wong. My wife and our friend found their dishes equally as good in terms of taste and quality of food. Well done chefs and well done staff for making this dining experience so memorable. Will be back.

Great atmosphere, superb service and above all fantastic food. Very much worth a visit.

Food delicious service fantastic

Food was amazing 🤩 highly recommended we came for lunch with a group of friends

👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Visited for lunch - Nice restaurant. Food was OK but nothing special. Service and staff absolutely shocking! Dismissive and disrespectful. I don’t mind paying a bit more for the ambiance and OK food but at least be nice to your customers. We paid (including soft drinks) £32 a head for 3 course business lunch in what is supposedly Glasgows premier Chinese restaurant. Would be 5 stars if the staff were not so ignorant! Spent £160 - Our same lunch order in another top Glasgow Chinese restaurant is £70 with great attentive staff and food every bit as good.

Always superb food and tremendous service in a beautiful setting.

Fantastic chinese, defo use this place again.

Lovely set up, plenty of staff, very accommodating. I especially lived the round tables as it felt more inclusive and the staff stored our jackets for free.

It was great to be back at Ho Wong it felt like coming home 😊the food 👌❤️ the staff 👌🥰 thank you

If this was just any restaurant I'd be contemplating five stars but after the high praise and hype I'd heard, I was actually a bit disappointed. Even that wouldn't matter if the price was lower, but when top end London restaurants do better at the same price...

Soft shell crab - yes please. Service outstanding. Nice new surrounds still with the same old atmosphere- cannot complain I can only complement

Ridiculous pricing for the usual Chinese fare nothing special apart from the inflated prices nice place but get a grip

I visited this restaurant last week with friends, the staff were absolutely amazing. What can I say about the food?? Well it was delicious and as for inside it was spotless everywhere the seating area was clean and the toilets were immaculate you could eat your dinner of it. Lol I would like to thank you for the service and I will be seeing you again soon.

Simply impeccable food, service and experience

So long since i was last here. Great welcome service and food. Thank you.

I recently visited this restaurant and I was quite disappointed. The food was not only tasteless but it was also cold. The staff were not friendly either. The waiter was extremely rude when I asked for something, he simply said "No" without any explanation or apology. It was totally unacceptable experience and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

disgusting rude staff, avoid the place. They lack basic common courtesy.

We booked the private room for 30 people for a banquet lunch for my dads 80th birthday celebration. The food was outstanding, the restaurant is beautiful and we had fantastic service from all of the Ho Wong team. All of our guests were full of compliments, we had the best time. Thanks to all at the Ho Wong for making it so special.

Booked for lunch, it was rushed and staff were just hurrying their way through the service. On two occasions they poured our wine and spilled it down outside of glass, not because they were clumsy but because they were rushing.

Went for my brother's 40th, and the food was exceptional! The steak with crispy garlic starter was great. As we're the salt and chilli asparagus and aubergine dishes! And the lemon sole with salt and chilli main was epic! As was the spicy honey chicken dish!

This is definitely up market by chinese restaurant standards. Quite pricey but the service is very efficient and food wonderful. Good place for a treat!

Please don’t be fooled with how pretty this restaurant looks! I ordered grilled chicken which was on the menu and I was brought fried chicken and was told that’s the only thing they do which really confused me to why they have it listed on the menu. I then decided to give it a try and it tasted really weird and definitely not fresh, I politely told the owner however he was so rude and told me that I haven’t tried enough to know. He then continued to say that the chicken looked good and there is nothing wrong with it and that I should eat it. Everyone that I spoke to had the worst attitude. I ended up not eating my meal but had to pay for it. Am really disappointed as they have no idea what customer service is. The food and isn’t different from china buffet king. Don’t waste your money there it isn’t worth it.

I would give zero stars if it was an option. Manager was looking down his nose at us, the table we had was very uncomfortable, basically sat looking at everyone eating, seat was really upright and very uncomfortable too. The food was ok nothing special, bill came to £85 which seemed excessive for what we had, old Ho Wong was lovely and good value, new Ho Wong is massively over priced. The Lychee Oriental is a far better restaurant, the staff are much friendlier and you can justify their prices. Ho Wong is definitely best avoided.

The food at Ho Wong was very good and quick service. Very good quality. Prices are average to high depending on the dished you choose! Overall recommended!

This was my first trip to the new ho Wong and my first since becoming a vegetarian. They have a sperate menu for veggies which is a relief, I had minced vegatables with lettuce leaves to start,i had chose a sweet and sour tempura but it was not available, but I did enjoy what I got. Most of the mains were tofu so I had Kung po tofu as I recognised it from other menus and it was nice. The only problem I had was we were a big group and couldn't be seated in the main restaurant instead we were in a large room annexed off the waiting area , it was nice but lacked atmosphere and felt a bit cold as we were there alone for most of the night , I wasn't paying but if I was I would definitely have felt a bit more than disapionted , we arrived a 7 o'clock and left after 10 it was busy and we took a long time to order but It felt like a long night. We were back for Christmas and were seated in the main dining area and what a difference a very lively atmos and fast service with excellent tasting food and friendly service from start to finish, 5 starts.

Well let's start at the beginning, a long long time ago in a town far far away, my family frequented the Regent in Stirling. Absolutely delicious it was until Michael and Co decided to abandoned ship, 7 years forward and by pure coincidence, we booked the ho wrong, and too our surprise? Yes you've guessed, greeted at the door just like old times, food excellent as always thanks ho wonng and our wee betsine

3rd time and first in the new premises it was amazing as always, rammed full food was on a different level 😋 and drygate on draft

Best Chinese restaurant in Glasgow...so it reserves the right to be pretty damned expensive. But worth every penny!

Fantastic experience, excellent food and very attentive staff!

Lovely restaurant and service good. Only issue was main course could have been warmer.

Reopened a while ago now, good food, expensive but good...

Fantastic thanks highly recommend 👍 😀 perfect food service night!

Everything was good except the time taken to serve the starters n the main course. They even took forever for bill. I took my friends for lunch out - ended up being there from 1 pm to 2.30 pm. 😂

Staff are on point and entertained our 2 year old grandson all night thank you.! Food and restaurant 1st class. A fabulous place for daughters birthday meal.

First time at Ho Wong but won't be last, beautiful restaurant and food was to die for,service fantastic and staff very friendly, see you soon👌
