Ka Ka Lok in Glasgow City

It's my first time to eat in the store, the service and taste are great. It feels cleaner after the renovation - recognition from Cantonese people

After the renovation, it tastes even better! In Cantonese, it means "wok"

Update after the year: After ordering, I had to wait 20 minutes for the food to be served. I had to ask for tap water before it was given to me. The roast duck tastes so salty that I frowned while eating it. The pre-meal soup was said to be unavailable at this time, but pork rib soup was served to the next table. There is no dessert after the meal either. I'm quite disappointed, I ordered a dish costing £30 per person, and this is the attitude. —— Reservations are required and there is no need to queue between 3-4pm. Delivery is available, but it is recommended to dine in for a better taste. The dining environment is average, the tables and chairs are old and greasy. The taste is very authentic Cantonese cuisine, with a mild texture and is suitable for people from all over the world to gather for dinner. The lobster braised noodles and roast pork are great. The spicy clams were average, the portion was too small and not spicy enough. The seafood fried rice is just average, worse than the ones in Chinatown restaurants. The pork ribs and lotus root soup before the meal is so fragrant! The radish beef brisket pot is also one of the must-orders every time I come here. There is also sugar water after the meal, usually taro and sago. At £20 per person for two people, you can enjoy 2 dishes, 1 soup and 1 dessert, which is quite comfortable. The portions are sufficient, and if you order three dishes, it will be too much for two people to finish.

Been here for dinner quite a few times, each time the food is delicious and service is great! The seating is a bit tight, but overall everything is great! I would recommend Ka Ka Lok to people looking to have a Chinese in Glasgow.

Best Chinese food in Guerra! Good quality and low price! I've only been here a few weeks, but I've already made Ka Ka Lok my daily dining hall.

Great Cantonese food, nice staff, great variety of dishes.

Came all the way from London to eat at Kaka Lok! Delicious!!! Initially alarmed by the price but the food came in good portions, had amazing taste and spectacular service! Even had some complimentary slices of oranges! Would definitely recommend!

Great food and amazing service. Highly recommended

老板热心的帮忙找到丢失的钱包！！！非常感谢！！！菜也很好吃！五星好评！

Food makes you feel like you’re in Canton ! Good service and good portions. Will come again !

Great for lunch or dinner. Aesthetics are wanting but food is fantastic. Its predominantly Guangdong style trained chefs so dont bother ordering anything Sichuan like mapodaofu for example, but its one of the best places in Glasgow for Southern of Chinese food.

Went to order and pick up at the restaurant, ordered half roast aromatic duck but when I got home found a pack of dry shredded duck, not Crispy or warm or juicy, just shredded dry duck, very disappointed after reading the reviews.

Basic decor, limited language, promote bring your own bottle and the food is just unbelievably delicious. Stir fry Garlic & Chili Prawns are without doubt the best I've ever had.

My local friend took me to this place for some dinner, it was busy on a sat night but we arrived earlier than the crowd and got a table immediately. We ordered the beef hotpot with vege and the chicken with spring onion and ginger. Service was generous. Table ended up too small to accommodate the big pot , stove and sizzling plate so some maneuvering was required. We got complimentary cracker, soup, orange and dessert. A good option for authentic Chinese food in glasgow

The food here is good but it's not as good as it used to be given the money spent. The beef flank was tough.

Disappointed. £20 for a special curry and fried rice. The rice looked like leftovers from previous diners, gathered and refried. 2/10

None of your usual chicken curry or chicken chow mein. Authentic as they come. Great food. Highly recommend. 👍

The Food was yummy and delicious. The wait times for the food was long, that requires improvement. Maybe they are understaffed.

If it is Chinese food you like ,This is it. reasonably priced too. Albeit a little small and basic surroundings but the food is second to none. Wide range of menu. Not a place for romantic outings but more for those who really enjoy Oriental food.

Wow. Really delicious home delivered meal for 4 ( 2nd time my family have ordered recently). The best Chinese food we have tasted in Glasgow- a selection of main dishes from the very extensive menu and incredible dumplings. Fresh, authentic, cooked with integrity and care. Not inexpensive but worth the money for wonderfully tasty food. Highly recommend.

Having been in to the restaurant for a delicious dinner pre-pandemic, we were excited to find out we could get home delivery. However the experience couldn’t have been more different as the food was cold when it arrived and everything that was meant to be crispy was soggy and inedible. Really disappointed as at £13-16 for a main dish, it is not a cheap order to have to bin because it is inedible. We ordered just before 7pm and did not receive our order until 10pm. 3 hours waiting. Called 3 times to be told 3 different stories about who was delivering our order - 1st it was a woman driver and we were next, 2nd call it was a male driver and he was at an address miles past us the opposite direction from the restaurant and finally it was a woman driver who delivered eventually. It ruined our evening waiting. If we had been in the actual restaurant we would have walked out and found somewhere else for dinner. We didn’t have that option ordering online. Had no choice but to wait. The wait was definitely not worth it in the end and we ended up making cheese on toast as the food we ordered had to be binned. Waste of nearly £40.

Simply the best Cantonese restaurant in Glasgow.

We used to dine here before the pandemic and food was perfect every time. One of our favourite for dine in and take away. Dined here once after it reopened, just very average. This time we have a take away of roast duck. It is terrible. Big chucks of poorly chopped up pieces with more bones than meat. Meat is overcooked, skin is not crispy and it just looked like unsold leftovers from previous night. For a once well respected local restaurant, this is unacceptable and guess we will not be back for a while.

Frequentato principalmente da famiglie cinesi e da conoscitori, il ristorante offre un'ampia scelta di piatti saporiti e quantità da veri affamati. (Ma potete chiedere una doggie bag e portare a casa tutto ciò che avanza). Personale gentile e pronto. Una vera esperienza!

The dim sum was nice apart from the prawn toast which was terrible! The roast pork was tasty but dry. A bit disappointed.

I got a selection of dim sum last night and it was amazing. I am definitely going to be ordering from these guys again and again and again!

We visited this restaurant and were were greeted by the very kind owners The food was incredible and I would highly recommend their deep fried soft shell crabs!

I loved this restaurant friendly staff food excellent what a wonderful find looking for a curry on a Sunday

Having discovered this little Gem by chance a number of years ago I have recommended to so many and visited on numerous occasions over the years . Whilst the surroundings are humble the real reason for repeat visits is simply the delicious food . The menu is extensive, many dishes that are familiar and many that are far more authentic Cantonese. A family run restaurant there is a no frill feeling simply beautiful excuted cooking . Anyone looking for great value great friendly service and easily the best Cantonese cuisine in Glasgow then this is a must . You won't be disappointed.

Holy crap never had such a bad Chinese in my life took over a hour to come ,missed items ,gained unwanted items really sad experience

4 of us went for a meal here and the food was totally amazing at very cheap prices for the edge of the city centre. Doesn't look much from the outside but that is very quickly resolved once inside. Service and food 10/10

I have lived out in the Far East and this was like being in Hong Kong again. I was up in Glasgow for two nights and we went to Ka Ka Lol on both nights. The meals were terrific especially on the second night when we had duck with chilli (it came with magnificent dark mushrooms) and squid with green beans and belachan (a Malay dish) with noodles. The portions were generous and the taste was out of this world. This is authentic Chinese fayre. If you’re looking for take away style Chinese, go elsehwere. The staff were also friendly and efficient.

They delivered my order to the wrong address. Said they would send out a new order then cancelled that order without telling me. They ended by saying sorry but they would not do anything to rectify the mistake. Ridiculous. Never actually had such a bad customer service experience

Nice Chinese restaurant with a good range of authentic Chinese cuisine and reasonable price.

We haven’t been to Ka Ka Lok for a while, as we work between England and Glasgow now. We’ve been patrons since it opened. On the first day of the reintroduced national lockdown we had a takeaway from them. We ordered dry beef ho fan,...

Visited a couple of times in the past year before lockdown and can say the food is always amazing and authentic Chinese. Great place to meet family and friends and most occasions have a pretty lively atmosphere. Look forward to our next time back!

Nice food. Good portions. First visit was on Chinese New Year for take away. It was packed. Big party going on. Always a good sign. Recommend ithem

This used to be my favourite Chinese restaurant in Glasgow it was cheap, authentic Chinese food. The last two visits have been well below the good standard they previously set, I believe the restaurant has changed ownership which may be the reason for this. Service...

Went tonight for the 3rd or 4th time and previously it was okay and a wee bit pricey. Tonight it was very good and a wee bit pricey. Recommend the seafood and Japanese tofu for an interesting unusual dish. Rice bucket was good as was...

On recommendation of a friend four of us went to have lunch here between Christmas and Hogmanay. Well done, Charlie; we were welcomed politely and seated without fuss. Menu, tea and water. We were ready. First with Dim Sum, Siu Mai, a new triangular deep...

Went in to order some takeaway food and picked starter size salt & chill chips in batter and starter size salt & chilli chicken from the menu, this was £3.55 each. I also took a photo of the takeaway box meal deal poster on the...

I visit Ka Ka Lok usually once a month, always welcomed to the highest standard by the owners and head waiters. Very good food and takeaway options, never disappointing.

Visited on Sunday not impressed nothing wrong with the service at all but food a different matter starters pretty average but main course not great fried rice all stuck together satay special was of no real quality even the sauce not right my partner had...

What a place! The real authentic Chinese deal. Packed out on a Tuesday because the food is fabulous. Loved it!

Too many tables too tightly packed that you are constantly jostled by staff trying to get past to serve tables and customers arriving and leaving have to move your chair to get past. Makes it difficult to actually eat let alone enjoy the meal. Starters...

Food was brilliant, went with a group and I think everyone really enjoyed the food.

店员都很热情 还有送例汤和水果！味道还可以 肯定和国内的不能比啦 但在英国真的算还行的了 地方比较偏一些 但个人还蛮推荐的

In Glasgow so far is the best Chinese restaurant ever, if you come to Glasgow you have to go to Ka Ka Lok, believe me!!

Excellent food and service. Def back again.

Food was lovely (huge helpings) staff were very attentive and a great atmosphere. Lots of Chinese people eating there which is a good sign that the food is fresh and authentic. Definitely recommend. My husband left his jacket there and we are flying back home to Spain tomorrow, however the staff will keep it until someone can pick it up for him next week. Great friendly service.

Best Chinese in Glasgow, portion size is huge and normally enough to share with your SO or a friend, or even better get two dishes and share them! The spicy shift shell grab is really good and is normally the start of choice between me and my friends, but if you fancy a Scottish twist the battered salt and chilli chips are really awesome!

We visit here regularly and it's welcoming, friendly & consistent. Big portions & good value too. Generally we share some chicken & pak choi fried dumplings, a two roast with rice (char sui & crispy belly pork) & a whole steamed sea bass with soy,...

My husband and I ate there last night, we were a walk in and they were very accommodating. The food was amazing, and a large selection on the menu. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We are hoping to book a table again tonight and...

Top notch Chinese restaurant - have been here several times since it opened and the standard has always been excellent. NBPrices seem high per dish, but that's because the portions are large

Great food very authentique home style....clay pot dishes are a must .roast duck cooked perfectly ..it can get very busy though .staff are very attentive

I haven’t had Chinese food this good since I was in Chengdu. Amazing authentic dishes well cooked, and lots of British-Chinese dishes available too! Portions are massive. There’s no pretence here. It’s just big family food ready for sharing. 1 main could do 3 people...

This is usually where We go for our Chinese family meal. The place is quite modern looking but quite small for a restaurant. The food is probably the best authentic Chinese Food You can get in Glasgow. service is quick and friendly . Only downside...

delicious chinese cuisine. reasonable prices too.

Leímos varios comentarios que decían que este es el mejor restaurante chino de Glasgow, y el más auténtico. A nosotros nos pareció fantástico.

The patrons there are mostly locals, not tourists - that’s a good indication of the level of service, food quality and authenticity. They serve you a complementary bowl of soup, so that’s one less thing to order on a cold rainy evening.

Me and my now fiancee really love this place and go again and again. When I decideded to finally pop the question, I wasnt sure when to do it, but after having dinner here that evening I knew that the timing is perfect. Best restaurant in glasgow!

Good prices, reasonable to large-size portions (2 mains easily does 3 people, 4 if you're not too hungry), and some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. The salt and chili squid is to die for - as are the sticky dumplings. For 3 people, we had 2 starters, 2 mains, and one fried rice and one noodles. If I hadn't been feeling particularly gluttonous, we'd have had to ask for a doggy bag.

One of the nicest Chinese in Glasgow..

Food was delicious and authentic; staff was very nice and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Este fantástico restaurante en examinar el fin de semana para una cena familiar como siempre no nos decepcionó.

One of my favourite Chinese foodie places

Good food and price, however service is a bit slow when it is crowded. Waited for 1 hour for the food to arrive.

Reasonably priced restaurant which is small and very liked from local Chinese community. The food is excellent. Variety of choices. I have been 3 times in 3 months and it looks busier and busier every time, so may be worth booking in advance.

Best Chinese food we have had in Glasgow. Loved being able to bring own alcohol. The service was good. The portions are huge. Highly recommend.

Esta fue una comida maravillosa, en todos los sentidos. El lugar estaba lleno, la mayoría de las familias asiáticas. Todo el mundo, diners y personal era muy alegre, y sin duda no nos sentimos fuera de lugar.

Definitivamente uno de los mejores restaurantes chinos en Glasgow. Pagado otra vez con mi familia en el fin de semana no me decepcionó un fantástico lugar para disfrutar de la auténtica comida china. Gran ambiente, personal muy amable y atento, aparcamiento fácil, increíble comida grande para repetir para decir lo menos y un precio muy competitivo. El pan frito picante lubina al mar era excelente recomiendo encarecidamente esta pequeña joya y para los niños volveremos pronto.

Ok this has to be done. Since I moved to Glasgow 2 years ago, good asian food is one of the things that I miss the most. I mean, the proper, mouth watering chinese food that is rich in flavour and not the typical chow mein or salt and garlic dishes that you can find in takeaways. A friend of mine mentioned this place so my husband and i gave it a try and we were blown away! Up until now, Ka Ka Lok is the restaurant that we go to whenever we want great Chinese food! Really happy with this finding.

Mis amigos y yo visitamos por primera vez. La comida es excelente. Disfrutamos de platos vegetarianos y no vegetarianos. Mi firiend disfrutamos sopa. Rollitos de primavera eran perfectos. Perfectamente cocinado y era saborear calamar impresionado con arroz frito. Más de una persona podría comer. El personal era extremadamente agradable y el ambiente familiar nos hizo sentir muy cómodos.

Authentic Chinese food in a beautifully relaxed atmosphere

分量非常非常大，两个人点两个菜即可，如果点了煲饭只要点一份。菜种类很多一共182道。服务员推荐的菜量和菜品很棒，服务态度非常好。这里很火爆，中国人外国人都来吃，可能要等一会有位置。菜味道很地道，而且还送排骨汤。饭和饮料的分量也很大。我们吃的广东烧鸭和枇杷豆腐，再加饭和饮料一共花了34磅不到。非常饱。总得来说这家餐厅是个意外之喜，性价比极高，强烈推荐。

La comida genial sirve en un concurrido restaurante a tope. Algunos amigos estaban en la ciudad, así 7 de nosotros cenamos. Pato con jengibre y cebolla era el mejor que he tenido en años. Lubina manos excelente. Asado de cerdo se derretía en la boca y el stir fry verduras eran perfectos. Gran variedad de auténticos platos cocinados a la orden y servido con una sonrisa por el encantador personal. Sin duda volveremos y altamente recomendado

Rara vez un restaurante excelente precio, pero no para Ka Ka Lok. Viernes por la noche y el zumbido - necesitaba una comida en el camino a casa y la suerte de conseguir una mesa. El personal era muy amable y entusiasta para explicar sus platos. Quería un simple arroz frito pollo en salsa y no ahogados aparentemente quería que el camino chino! Fue excelente, y tal y como se solía ser - he solicitado, así mismo en otro lugar gracias Ka Ka Lok. Terminamos con buñuelos y un té perfecto - no puedo esperar a volver para una experiencia completa de comida china de la manera que debería ser.

We enjoy Chinese cuisine, and the food here is exceptional. Delicious soft shell crab and won ton soup. Service is good. The restaurant is full of Chinese diners, always a sign of good food. We hope to eat here again soon.

Visited on Saturday night with no booking. Had to wait around 15-20 minutes for a table but this wasn’t a problem as the waiter got us some drinks and took out order as we waited which meant less time waiting when we got to the table.

I have been here a few times and will keep coming back.

Had a superb meal here consisting of Soft Shell Crab, Kung Po Chicken & Shredded Crispy Beef. Restaurant was busy for a Sunday evening and had a great authentic vibe. The chicken has to be one of the most tender I've tasted. Thoroughly enjoyed.

My family originated from hong kong and this is where they choose to eat for a family meal out. This can only mean one thing its good for cantonese food.

Visited on a wet Sunday night about 5.30, hadn't booked but were soon shown to a table. Having read the reviews we already knew that the things we liked were highly rated, and boy, were they rightly so!

I went in today for lunch and had the most disgusting service I'd say. Though I love Chinese and we were there at 4.5 pm just on time the restaurant had opened. The waiter did not bother to give us seating, had to wait for...

Este era un auténtico lujo. 2 teníamos 4 entradas. El camarero sólo 1 principal aconsejaron entre nosotros y él era justo. El cangrejo de concha blanda, albóndigas fritas, calamares y mejillones eran absolutamente fantásticos. El más destacado es el cangrejo. En general, la comida era...

The food was nice but this is pricey. £28 for 2 main course with no extras or anything particularly special....

One of the best in the city, just keep coming back

Atrapados en una calle algo para nada ostentoso en el West End, este es un restaurante chino muy bueno. Fue muy completa el sábado por la noche, pero el joven, alegre personal hacen un trabajo grandioso. La comida llega muy rápido - teníamos elementos adicionales...

Llamado para un rápido para llevar, pero hay muchos otros sitios en la cola! El restaurante estaba lleno con diners. Buena comida, así que bien vale la pena la espera. La zona de recepción es inexistente si usted está esperando una comida para llevar, así...

I visit Kakalok quite often as it’s close to my place. I chose to go there in the first place as I saw many Chinese people visiting. Its food is quite good and tasty and its staff really helpful. They also accept credit cards, which is an advantage. I would highly recommend the chow mein and the crispy duck with the soy sauce.

Love this place! Food is delicious every time we visit and the staff are really friendly and accommodating!

Kwamen rond etenstijd langs Ka Ka Lok gelopen. Het was er behoorlijk druk met ook veel Aziatisch ogende mensen hetgeen ons wel het vertrouwen gaf dat het een goed restaurant moest zijn. We konden nog net aan laatste vrije tafeltje aanschuiven. We waren met z'n 3en en hebben 3 verschillende voor- en 3 verschillende hoofdgerechten om met elkaar te sharen. We hebben er heerlijk gegeten. Vriendelijke bediening.

One of the best Chinese in Glasgow

Este auténtico restaurante chino un par de veces en las últimas semanas.

A welcome sight after flying red-eye and getting into Glasgow the next day...quick convenient and cheapy-priced Chinese take out food. Couldn't ask for more.

Wonderful staff wondering food.nice Chinese beer.our wee local.omg seafood n tofu best dish ever tasted

Nosotros estamos creciendo me encanta este lugar. Servicio eficiente, un ambiente animado, y excelente comida. Las raciones principales son enormes; uno fácilmente basta entre dos (y no somos exigentes! Vale la pena pasear) un poco alejado de la zona 'West End' para esta joya de lugar.

Full of Chinese people which can only be the sign of a great cantonese restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Definitely be back!

El tamaño de las porciones son enormes, aparentemente caro (en comparación con el primer plato) son enormes y podrían probablemente cómoda dos personas. Las gambas eran especialmente excelente. Tenemos ganas de volver visita. 9 / 10

Au départ nous étions partis pour un japonais , celui-ci étant ferme, nous nous sommes rabattu sur un chinois !
