Ka Pao Glasgow in Glasgow City

Ka Pao never disappoints. Whenever there's a celebration, it's an excuse for a meal here. GET THE OYSTER MUSHROOMS.

The food is tasty , but honestly nothing special.

Excellent and varied food with wonderful service

Food was awesome, the ox cheek and the corn ribs are legends on a plate! It was our daughter's choice to come back to Ka Pow because she loved the crispy chicken with curry so much! Service is always amazing!

Great food, friendly, helpful staff, and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Always tricky picking dishes from an unfamiliar menu, but myself and a friend ordered six dishes and they were all fantastic!

One of the best experiences with food I’ve had. Every dish we tried was full of flavour and perfectly presented. The atmosphere and decor elevated the experience and the service was outstanding.

Food was very good, service sporadic but the atmosphere was awful. Music too loud, made it very difficult to have conversations. Like being in an 80's disco having dinner. Really didn't like the minimalist ceiling either with all the services exposed. Unlikely to go back.

We went tonight for my daughters birthday meal, her choice of place. Not a disappointment at all. Great menu, delicious food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thanks

Didn't know what to expect but every dish was fantastic! Highly recommended.

Excellent restaurant with a very good atmosphere. I highly recommend it

Amazing food. Lovely interior and wonderful staff who are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. It is first class on every level . We had Laurie looking after us and she was absolutely brilliant . So knowledgeable of the menu, super helpful and friendly.

I was really looking forward to visiting Ka Pao since I had a great experience a few years ago and was hoping for the same or even better this time. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Positives: The team was very attentive to food allergies, which was much appreciated. We received a warm welcome from both the reception staff and our waiter, who greeted us, explained the menu, and recommended a few options. A special mention to the food runners as well—they ensured that every dish they delivered was free of the allergen we had previously mentioned. Yellow curry hake -  Absolutely delicious! The hake was cooked beautifully. Crispy duck leg - Neither crispy nor soft. The receipt described it as "confit duck," but while some parts were soft and flavorful, other parts were overcooked and dry. Fried chicken: Overcooked. The batter was too crispy, and the chicken itself was quite tough, tasted like it was in the oil for too long. Milk buns - Disappointing. The top was too hard, whereas we expected them to be soft given they were milk buns. Service: After the first few dishes arrived, it felt like we were a forgotten table. The waiter didn’t check on us for quite a while, and although 3 out of 4 dishes (except the curry) had been served, the milk buns and rice were still missing. When the waiter finally came over, we asked about the sides, and they mentioned they are usually served later. This was confusing, as a significant portion of our food had already arrived. Once we finished our meal, it took quite a long time for the table to be cleared. I was looking forward to trying their soft serve, but the long wait and being forgotten really put us off, and we ultimately decided to ask for the bill instead. All my friends rate this place highly, and I have in the past as well. I hope this was just a one-off experience.

Excellent combo of Scottish ingredients with Thai flavours. The skate wing curry was incredible

Best meal I have had out in a long time. Some of the dishes took me right back to Thailand. Highly recommend this place.

I wish I could take this restaurant everywhere with me. If you have a chance to try this place do not let it slip away!

Best Thai food I've had in the UK. Unbelievability good. Great atmosphere, lovely staff, delicious drinks. Go!

Service was good but the food just normal.

Poor food served in the basement

I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a dinner this much in ages! Visiting Ka Pao was truly a delightful experience. I had been eagerly anticipating my visit, and it exceeded my expectations at every turn, with each dish surpassing the last. The ambiance of the venue is lovely and wonderfully relaxed, setting the perfect backdrop for the meal. And the food? Absolutely to die for! I cannot recommend Ka Pao highly enough and can't wait for my next trip to Glasgow to savor it again! Our table shared: - padron peppers - salt and szechuan pepper oyster mushrooms - vegan corn ribs - fried chicken, fish sauce caramel - stir-fried ox tongue - southern yellow curry of hake - steamed jasmine rice - freedom bakery milk buns

Had the sharing menu & the food was amazing. Every dish was fabulous. Service was great & friendly. Shame I don't live close as this was a work trip but if I'm ever back, I'll certainly visit Ka Pao again 😊

The BEST place to eat ..its got atmosphere good service & great menu.

The restaurant has a great ambience and the service staff is really friendly. But the food itself is very mediocre and really pricey for the taste. There are way better restaurants with better atmosphere as well.

Great evening at Ka Pao. Great ambience, friendly staff, lovely drinks and excellent food. Brought back lovely memories from our time living in Asia.

Great food and a huge amount of gluten free options. The staff were also very knowledgeable about celiac disease and explained that the gluten food is cooked separately. Had a great time and felt very safe eating here

Excellent lunch - good service, ambience and food.

Recommend by a friend, really impressive food, service and atmosphere. Recommend booking a table as it was full by the time we were leaving at 7.30 on a Friday night. Can recommend trying most things especially the deserts!

Best friends birthday lunch. Everything was flawless, absolutely will be back again.

Nice food and the service is excellent.

The food was phenomenal! An explosion of flavours and aromas which worked for every meal we ordered. All staff members were friendly and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. We will definitely be back!

This is the best restaurant I have eaten at in Glasgow recently. The overall menu is Thai-style and the taste is very fresh.

Super experience overall! Food, service, everything was incredible - so accommodating for my partner's gluten intolerance and all the vegan options were probably the best vegan dishes we've ever had. Could not recommend Ka Pao Glasgow highly enough

This is a hybrid-style Asian restaurant. The food is just fine, and the environment is awesome.

Amazing experience, will defo be back and recommend to friends. Food was to die for, especially the fried chicken

Ka Pao is my happy place. I'm coeliac, and can have pretty much anything on the menu. They're so on the ball with gluten free options! Every dish is a taste sensation - I would eat there every day if I could!

Really nice lunch, fried chicken was a favorite!

Amazing food, great service ... Will be back

Another fantastic family meal. Can always rely on kapao to deliver excellent food , service also great, always there when needed, helpful yet not intrusive . This is why we return again and again

Recommend the sharing platter (min. 4 people). You’ll look at it on paper and think ‘nope’ but the delivery are tastes are first class. Great venue to catch-up with friends.

To be honest, the food is fantastic. ***This place is highly not recommended for foreigners. *** Very bad services toward us. Mocking our accent and even more wouldn’t let us order more food. We even ask to order for takeaway food. They wouldn’t let us order.

One of my favourite restaurants to visit. Never disappoints!

Menu daunting but well explained by waiter. Food sensational. Drinks excellent too, as was service.

The food was excellent and full of flavor. If it says spicy on the menu, then it's pretty spicy. Would definitely go here again. Was expensive but worth the price.

As always a lovely welcoming front of house and kitchen staff with delicious food, my favourites being the fried chicken and corn ribs. Tonight we tried the Ox Tongue and whole sea bream which were cooked perfectly and delicious. My go to place when I crave southeast asia food.

We ate as a group of meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans and there was something for everyone. Good beer and wine selection and some nice non-alcoholic cocktails for those who weren't drinking. We loved all the dishes we had, particularly the sprouts, short rib curry, venison carpaccio, pork and marrow sausage, hispi cabbage and cucumber salad. All delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow, worth the journey away from the city centre.

Exceptional as always, one of the best restaurants in Scotland for sure 👌

Best meal and service I have had in a long time!

I was satisfied and enjoyed it. The food is overall delicious and the atmosphere is nice.

Been here multiple times now. Absolutely delicious, full of flavour. Will be back again and again

Pre-Idles gig grub here - great service and a toasty jungle curry was the perfect warm-up to watch a superb band at the OvO 😍

Lovely spot. Great atmosphere and delicious food. We had the sharing meal for 4 and it was all delicious, with the tongue being one the nicest. The food is spicy but definitely worth a bit of sweat. The staff are great and I would definitely come back again.

Probably the best south east asian restaurant in Glasgow. The menu changes regularly and I have never had a bad dish. Really stylish interior as well as a nice bar.

Fantastic food, great flavors and perfect portions priced well

Loved the food... really creative small plates in a low key atmosphere. The Hispi cabbage was incredible.

We got the sharing menu for 4 and it was absolutely like a party in your mouth, so many different plates all with their own unique taste. I loved it and would highly recommend.

Great restaurant, got 5/6 dishes between us, they were all banging 👌corn ribs and oyster mushrooms and chicken in like a sweet and spicy sauce, would defo go back

I had the best time! I loved the atmosphere with dim, warmlights. I enjoyed my cozy seat in one of the booths (my favourite). The food was appealing to the eyes and a constant burst of flavours that worked perfectly together, also with incredibly tender meats - chicken, duck, beef and fish, with perfectly cooked crispy skin. Just brilliant. I will be back. Unfortunately we didn’t have time or room for dessert so I look forward to trying that next time !

Amazing all round and such great veggie options (especially the corn ribs and fried mushrooms)!

Food was excellent. Sweet potato curry was amazing. Some really amazing flavours and ideas. Really enjoyed it. Would recommend the corn ribs and the mango soft serve. Restaurant was quite busy but service wasn't great. On a few occasions we struggled to get soneone to attend to us. Would definitely go back but hope that service would be a bit more attentive.

Last night Ka Pao restaurant - 22 Vinicombe Street, Glasgow fed a group of 26 of us with a tasting menu for £37.50 each. Plus drinks. What amazed me was the way the waiter moved along the group at the end, with a printout of the drinks bill, card reader in hand and change in his pocket. Without any fuss at all, people identified their drinks prices, paid up and he moved on. Quite quickly, he announced we were all paid up, with a tip. The food was fantastic, but the service was just amazing!

Delicious food which our whole family love! Such an interesting range of dishes and good options for vegetarians too. Great service and friendly and attentive waiter made our experience even better!

Great restaurant in all aspects. We have been to Ka Pao and Ox & Finch many times. It was a great experience everytime.

Didn’t live up to the hype unfortunately. Plates were unclean and food very mediocre. Far better green and massaman curries available elsewhere.

All staff were great, the food was very good and served promptly but not all at once, which was fantastic. Going back with friends in a few weeks and really looking forward to it

Visiting Glasgow for dinner with friends First time in this restaurant 😁 Booked the table which we were advised to do as busy on a sat night. Greeted at the door and shown promptly to the table booth for 6 Menu on the table very interesting and loads of choice. We opt for the sharing menu £30+ per person. Very interesting menu full of variety fish veg meat and spices. Loads of different choice textures all playing with your taste buds some very spicy and full of flavour. Try the pork belly very tasty also the corn ribs and cabbage. The server was Judit (Hungarian girl) absolutely top class, she has the banter/rappor with us and new to have a laugh along with keeping the table clean and us topped up with drinks. I personally will be back but as a group we agreed the taster menu price is slight high for such small plates being shared by 5 people. All good though must try when visiting the west end 😉

Our best meal in Scotland so far in 5 days. Inventive, flavorful, and spicy ~ and sensitive to gluten intolerance. Great wait staff, too!

A unique experience, with interesting mix of flavors. The Arbroath smokie is a must try.

We visited after a few days of mainly british Cuisine and it was lovely to get some spicy Food haha Highly recommend the stir-fry with ox tongue

The mains were great but the desserts’ flavours were too strong.

We absolutely LOVED it! We really enjoyed our time at Ka Pao: the food, the cocktails and the vibe. An amazing way to celebrate our anniversary! Lovely, friendly and attentive waiting staff! 100% will be returning :)

Went here for the first time for my wife’s birthday. Really good restaurant. Food was excellent as were the staff. Attentive and friendly despite the busy nature of the evening. Only minor thing to say is that as someone that doesn’t drink alcohol the single choice of AF beer was a bit disappointing. There were mocktails also, but generally they’re not for me. The single AF beer that is on offer isnt a great one to be honest. 2/3 options that are a bit better tasting would be good. But this is a minor thing. Great place.

It was our first visit to Ka Pao, The service we received was fantastic and the food was outstanding!It definitely won’t be our last visit. Highly recommend

Very well deserved 5 stars. Everything we ordered was extremely delicious & the service is beyond great

Was out with my sisters for dinner we had an outstanding meal one dish was nicer than the other , a fantastic meal it was delicious first class service and compliment's to our servers and chef as everything was perfection will definitely be recommending and visiting again soon . Well done to your team first class

Still the best restaurant in Glasgow. A must visit place for Asian food. This is my 17th time to KaPao in the last two years. Every visit, food is always excellent. Service is amazingly good. And atmosphere is perfect for lunch or dinner, couple or group night. I have tried almost everything on their menu. My favourites are smoked miang, beef skewers, crispy chicken, ox tongue and pork belly. This time I tried new ones - prawns with jackfruit, pork neck, Choi sum in sambal sauce and special menu - crispy chicken wings in homemade sriracha sauce. It was very delicious and the service is way beyond excellent. I am always surprised how do they even train the staff, every restaurant should be like this. Every spoon is tasty and really authentic South East Asian taste. But even I find it quite spicy this time , but still.. love it. Every penny worth it and price is very fair £35-40 each including drinks. We walked in through waiting list but got very lucky , got sofa booth that night 😊

Ka Pao exceeded all my expectations! Their yellow curry of coley was a revelation—every bite gave me goosebumps. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the dishes were prepared with such finesse. The ambiance and service were equally impressive. Highly recommend for an unforgettable dining experience! Yey for the Michelins! 🥳

Amazing food, great atmosphere, wonderful service. The corn ribs where something else, and curries were unreal.

Closed before last reservation (2200 online) , they don't pick up the phone so waste a trip to find out

A lovely food and drink experience in a delightful corner of Glasgow.

Asian fusion street food venue In a basement just off byres road but very roomy and has a lift Amazing food, lots of choice and exciting menu Must book always busy Must try caramel chicken and corn ribs

The waitress was excellent, knowledgable, friendly and attentive. Food was so delicious! Really enjoyed everything. The beef tartar in particular was amazing.Will definitely be back!

Fantastic meal. 10/10 service - really recommend this restaurant

Lovely food, we went for the full menu for 4 people with a variety of dishes, it was more than plenty for all 4 of us, some dishes were really spicy. Favs were hake curry, courgette curry, shrimp with coconut. They have kids menu with rice, salad, grilled sweetcorn and a choice of curry, crispy chicken or crispy fish, my daughter enjoyed!

I drove some people up there after they had been to troon for the golf open they said they enjoyed it 🙂.

Ka Pao is a must, every time I visit Glasgow. Had a meal there last night, and it was better than ever! Kudos to the entire team. Will definitely be back!

Staff lovely and very accommodating. I have sound sensory issues and they let us move to a table in a quieter area even though it was a Saturday night. The food was amazing and it comes out in stages which was nice. Only one downfall was that we ordered the oyster mushrooms and they arrived at the same time as the table next to ours did and it looked like they had made two portions at once and the other table got loads of mushrooms and we got a lot of crispy batter pieces without any mushrooms in it which was a bit disappointing. Other than that it was great all round. Will be back

This was an excellent find. Great food, good beer (thornbridge! All this way north???) and a fun atmosphere. We had the vegan corn ribs, crispy pork belly salad, phanaeng curry of confit duck leg, green curry of beef featherblade, stir-fried purple sprouted broccoli and jasmine rice. It was all beautiful seasoned, well cooked and brought as soon as each dish was ready. Very well timed too. An over-all brilliant evening

One of the nicest meals I've had for a long while 😊

This restaurant came highly recommended and I can understand why. The food was phenomenal! Would highly recommend if you're looking for something different and delicious

We had a very nice experience and the food was amazing! The customer service Hannah is very helpful and she picked up the dishes with garlic after she knows we are allergic to it. 10/10 strongly recommended. Hannah deserve a pay rise!

Good Thai inspired place. Starters were trying a little too hard in places, but the mains (curries) we had were both very, very good. Sweetcorn ribs too sweet for me, and I like sweetcorn a lot!!

This is one inspiration here. I eat and cook a lot of vegan Thai food and here I was just amazed. The cauliflower and zucchini curries are really incredibly tasty. Glasgow was definitely worth it

Fantastic food. Highly recommend the hake curry and corn ribs. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Been here a couple times and every time the food has been amazing! Had amazing service from Hannah and just a wonderful experience all round <3. So impressed will definitely be back!

Food in the place is absolutely unreal! Cannot even describe it. I don't like mushrooms but I really enjoyed one of the mushroom dishes we ordered. Can't wait to go back

One of the best places to eat in town. Exciting, vibrant food where vegetarian dishes shine just as brightly. I'm not a vegetarian but often chose meat free options as they are just so good.

A super meal for daughter's graduation. Excellent recommended dishes with fabulous service.

AMAZING! We came for the gf options, came back for more corn ribs 🤤 absolutely delicious and well balanced dishes, lovely staff. The team made great effort towards our dietary requirements - simply wonderful!

Tried the lunch menu. Great value at £17.95 pp. big portions and fabulous flavours.

What a special place! We ended up here after a neighboring place had no tables available and we were delighted to have the opportunity to experience Ka Pao! Everything we tried was very tasty, but the corn ribs, cauliflower, and cabbage were exceptional.

Great food and atmosphere as always
