Pickled Ginger Finnieston in Glasgow City

Literally every dish I get from here is perfect both delivered and sit in - exceptional quality every time big portions every time and way better priced than other Japanese restaurants in Glasgow - very rarely do reviews but these guys have earned one!! 🤟🏼❤️

Best sushi in Scotland!! Amazing! 2 hour round trip for lunch and worth it as always.

I would recommend it! Food portion is relatively big. Service is good as well, staffs are attentive. They charged us 10% service fee at the end.

Tonight was the first of many to be visits. Service was exceptional from the moment we entered to the moment we left and the food blew expectations out the water. I'm a fan of Katsu Curry and I've had many kinds but this one was my favourite and they even perfected the chips that just so happened to be my ideal preference of chip. Highly recommend as the price is unbelievably great especially with the quality of service and food.

Today was a gloomy day and sushi always cheers me up and I am so glad we chose this place. My partner's akuma soba was superb, followed by a fresh sushi plater for me. The special rolls were pleasing to the eye and to our pallets. However, my only gripe was that they were gigantic and impossible to consume in one bite. We really appreciated the flavours and their unique twist but it is sacrilegious to consume sushi in two bites. Does it really matter though what the size is when the service is that quick and the prices are so reasonable? We will be back!

Really nice restaurant. It was very busy but the staff were still very friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommended.

Ramen was delicious. The server was very nice. Came on a Monday night and the atmosphere was perfect, especially the music.

Every item was delivered on time and in perfect condition. The food is always delicious

Food was great as usual love ordering from here!

Great food, service & atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again

Very good food and the portions were really good. The food was fresh and the service very fast. Very friendly and pleasant staff! 100% recommended

Delicious sushi, friendly and helpful staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

Food was delicious and such generous portions! They do not skimp on the meat! The cocktails are yummy too

Very nice place with very attentive staff

Very friendly attendant! Wonderful food, very pleasant atmosphere!!! Everything is very good!!!

Food was nice. It’s a Chinese place selling Japanese inspired food so it’s probably bigger portions and pieces. Pretty hearty actually. Place is clean and service is good. Not sure you really have to book even on a weekend. Prices are decent as well. Restaurant was cold, so we were pretty chilly.

Easy to find, parking was available nearby. Staff were accomodating and informative with food allergy requests. Food was served quickly and it was delicious!

Ordered fish sushi platter and veggie gyoza ramen. Best local Glasgow suhsi spot would highly recomend if you like Japanese cuisine and friendly service. Fresh sushi made right in front of you. Run don't walk! 🏃🍣

Very nice staff, very fast speaking but very friendly. Simple decor and small restaurant, with take away. But the food was very good and fresh. The restaurant was pretty fully booked, so we only got a seat at the counter (and that was on a Tuesday in constant rain), but on the weekend it's really better to make a reservation.

Ordered a takeaway from this lovely gem! Great quality food and very tasty!

Good food, quick service, big portions, reasonable prices.

One of our favourite places. The food is amazing staff nice and I think prices are very good. We keep going back and it never disappoints.

Absolutely delicious food and good sized portions. The place is very loud however and there's a minor language barrier with the serving staff. My main gripe though is they add on a service charge. The price advertised for the food is the price I agreed to pay, not an additional 12% which is just a con. They also only respond to five star reviews which is a red flag in terms of them not taking feedback.

Waitresses were spot on and extremely efficient. Food was outstanding especially the Teriyaki chicken main dish

The food was served quickly, tastes good and they have good customer service. A quiet place to have lunch or dinner.

You have to book in for dinner lunch or anything else. We booked in quite early because it gets booked up quite quick. It was a very small restaurant but we all loved the food. Liam is so stupid had maki and it’s was incredible. Come with nice bowls for soy sauce and staff are very nice and help you pronounce the products. Overall 5 out of 5

Being going here for a while. Best sushi in Glasgow!

Unfortunately did not like the ramen bowls. There was no flavour to any of it other than on over powering taste of fish. Did not eat any of it. Very expensive for what it is.

order didn’t arrive at all total chaos when trying to get help from restaurant. Have to wait 5-7 days to get a refund (if I get it) totally ruined our plans for this evening.

Delicious food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Will look forward to the next visit.

Really good food, wide selection.

Delicious and food value for money!

Excellent food, so flavourful. Lovely staff. Cute places. We initially had a table reserved but they moved us to the high chair. We were okay with that as well, but they still gave us a 50% percent discount on the bill. We were so touched by their sweet gesture we ended up tipping the saved amount. This happened in 2019 but it's still the nicest thing any establishment has done and I think fondly about it!

Food was fabulous and at good prices. It's a small place, so I recommend booking. We didn't book, but they found us room at the bar. Kind and friendly service despite being very full, and it being a smaller space. Atmosphere is rated as average because it's an ordinary row home type restaurant, nothing wrong with that, but nothing special. I do highly recommend them for their food.

It’s my favo restaurant in Glasgow. We live southside and always order delivery every week. This time we got chance to sit in and the food it’s even better!!! So fresh! The fried chicken is so delicious. Usually the fried chicken in other place taste like deep fried thing, but not in pickled ginger. I recommended to all my colleagues and they love it too!

Delicious sushi made fresh to order. I would definitely go back and tried to this weekend but unfortunately we didn’t have a reservation and they were full.

Excellent sushi. Favourite restaurant in Glasgow

Small and cosy with tasty food.

Went there with a friend after a really bad experience in another restaurant and the staff were very welcoming and friendly, they are well trained and it’s not something you often see in Glasgow to be honest. The food was very delicious especially the Chicken Katsu and Volcano from the Special Rolls menu. To the owner of this restaurant you’re lucky for having such an amazing and hardworking staff.

Great food, quite large servings, lovely staff with a lovely atmosphere

staff were lovely and we enjoyed the food so much. would come again

Great sushi, nice restaurant, whoevers in charge of the music has bangin taste

Excellent food. would recommend to anyone, first class!

Delicious food, lovely cocktails and a great vibe. Service was top notch and would Recommend to anyone who loves sushi.

The Salmon.... pure unadulterated sweet succulent Salmon. Not that anyone needs to do anything to Salmon when it is so fresh and clean...but their rice is well prepared and the sauces used in some of the specialties are really well done. To get your Sushi fix I recommend highly

Ordered takeaway and loved the food. We wanted to try different dishes so we ordered a few things from the sushi menu. Everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Spicy tuna roll was a defo favourite! Maybe it's not the best sushi I had but it was great and the atmosphere was nice ☺️

Order didn't arrive and I was told to contact just eat that the restaurant couldn't do anything about it? Poor all round

ordered. paid for. no delivery arrived. extremely disappointed

The food here is fantastic, so were the cocktails. We had ordered both sushi and cooked foods and it was perfect. Cannot fault it.

Had enough space at lunchtime. Food was good.

I fell inlove with one of the waitresses she was so pretty

Went for the sushi masterclass and it was so much fun! Staff were really lovely and were accommodating to dietary restrictions. It was nice to learn a new skill as well! When we didn’t get it right they’d let us try again rather than just moving on which was really appreciated, will definitely be back soon thank you so much 🫶

Very impressed with Pickled Ginger! We went to a launch night & got a wee taste of some of their sushi options as well as some of the main dishes. I really loved the sushi options & I need to go back and try my fave sushi - dragon rolls. I think this would be a great way to compare against other Japanese restaurants. The mains were beautifully presented, and tasted great! I’d say the ramen and the pumpkin Katsu were my fave. The yum yum chicken is a huge hit from everyone but I think it’s just not to my liking.

Came in to order some takeaway, super friendly staff and the Bulgogi Rolls were insane !! Cannot wait to be back

vile, tough and impossible to chew meat, Borth that has 0 taste other than salt.

Really like their new menu! Delicious food and great customer service. Definitely recommend it! The pumpkin katsu is the best!!

A great Japanese restaurant in Glasgow. Super quick service and tasty sushi. Welcoming staff nice atmosphere. Not too expensive either.

I can not recommend this place enough. The food is delicious and great value for price. Their cocktails look beautiful 😍 The staff is lovely and the place has a no-nonsense but energetic vibe. Really lovely place. We went there twice for dinner out of our three days in Glasgow. That is how good they were.

Great food and service! Recommend the bento box, great taste and good value for money 🙂

Great mid week meal good portion size

Cosy fireside tavern, a pint by the hearth.

It’s so yummy! The sushi’s were super fresh and delicious, I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing food! Counting down the days until I’m back in Glasgow 😍

I love the Pumpkin Katsu and chicken karaage is so crispy food is always good 👍

Ordered over £200 worth of deliveries in the space of 6 weeks on Deliveroo had rewards built up as in discounts on next orders then out of nowhere they decided I live to far and won’t deliver anymore but everywhere else does! So yeah pretty disappointed zero customer loyalty or appreciation.

So happy my favourite sushi place is open again! Tasty food as always, everything arrived perfect. No complaints!

Took an hour and half so late but the food was average

Fantastic restaurant; best Japanese restaurant I've been to Service was super quick; barely any wait for the food The menu has so many great options I ordered California sushi rolls and chicken katsu sushi rolls, as well as miso soup. They have a range of sushi options, katsu curry, ramen and way more. The food was delicious and really filling.

Food is great and portion sizes are really big! Make sure you flip over the menus on the table- they are not placemats! We were confused after she handed us a sushi and specials menu and thought that was it as did several other tables all looking confused.

Some of the tastiest food I've had, great value too! Wonderful service as well. Very recommended.

sent the wrong dish due to the printer not printing out the correct dish for the chefs. so utterly disappointed as I now need to wait a couple of days from just eat to come back to me about a refund. the restaurant could not resend out the main dish and I was so looking forward to this main component of my night. literally gutted

I came here at Christmas, lot of music 🎶 , the food is really nice and with beautiful drawings on windows 🪟

Absolutely awesome food and great friendly staff 😎

Cannot praise pickled ginger highly enough. We were a last minute dinner reservation before heading to a concert. The staff couldnt be more accomodating. The place was busy with a good vibe. Food freshly made and very tasty to the point it was my favourite dinner of the year. The waitress was also superb (sorry I didnt get her name). However, she could answer my questions regarding the level of spice in the dish. She also had good humour when serving us. She was a star. With plenty of choice on menu from fried rices, noodles, curries and sushi I will certainly be back soon. A hidden gem

Had the lunch special, which was a surprisingly big amount of food for the price.

Food is fantastic. Bulgogi and fried rice dishes are amazing. Never had a bad thing to eat here.

Fantastic bowl of ramen. Good pairing of sake too. All in all I am pleased that I went there!

Had a lovely meal here, the food was freshly made and delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly too. Would definitely go again.

went for a £9.95 bento box lunch deal, food was fresh and a good portion too. the katsu curry was delicious, not the best in glasgow but good for the price. will be back

Really tasty food, drinks and service Will be back👍 Especially liked the tuna sashimi and sushi rolls which were made fresh

Alas, very slow service to start with and the food really lacked luster...

I love pickled ginger it’s one of if not my favourite ramen bar to go to great service great so much to try on the menu it amazing

Huge shout out to Pickled Ginger for hosting my birthday ‘party’ after a last minute let down by another venue. Myself and my partner have always had great times here and in hindsight should have booked here from the outset. We were welcomed in with open arms into a very cheery and warm environment. The playlist was absolutely immaculate in the background but we were able to have an intimate catch up with all of the party in our nice secluded booth. Everyone’s orders were executed perfectly and all tastes were catered to. The food was just superb as always; piping hot, delicious and did not have to wait long at all. We are looking forward to making this a more frequent meet-up venue and are grateful for the kind hospitality we received last night.

This place was wonderful, I really enjoyed the decor and authenticity of the place, the food wad delicious. I really enjoyed trying a bone-broth ramen for the first time! Loved the Malibu Barbie cocktail on special offer

really great service, food and atmosphere. the only point of improvement would perhaps be more cocktails? the bento box is definitely worth it too

Nice Japanese restaurant. I ordered the mixed sushi platter, the sushi were very delicious 👍 Friendly staffs and easy parking. highly recommend!

We booked with Groupon and the deal was amazing. Im not sure I can believe the value for money. We used to tend to use restaurants like wagamama in town in the past but that feels like a McDonald's compared to pickled ginger.

The staff were lovely and the food was top notch!

Lots of vegetarian sushi options for my pal and I’m enjoyed my sushi platters Recommend some hot starters with beer for munchies

Food was decent , waitresses were lovely and polite I appreciate their service ! On the other hand the manager was very Rude . I disapprove of his management skills .

I ordered over £50 worth of food as a delivery and the sushi was falling apart and shockingly put together, really disappointed especially when I here nothing back about a refund, I have photos as well its a shame I can't attach them

I ordered a sushi platter for my lunch to pick up. The sushi was slightly warm and the rice had no seasoning at all. The fish wasn’t cut right so it had a funny texture to it. Not a fan, won’t be back

Great food was first-class service 😋

Amazingly fresh... Good staff , class menu

Stopped for lunch with family. Service was lacklustre, waitress obviously preferring company of other staff than customers. Food was a mixed affair. Ramen was awful. Bland ,tastless and luke warm. Other dishes were better but more Chinese takeaway than Japanese. Tables sticky, toilets dingy. It's was edible and satisfied as a quick lunch stop. Given the competition in this market, I don't think any of my party would return.

Fine place to grab drinks, but don't expected an authentic dish. I ordered chicken teriyaki. But I got served which I believed it's a fried chicken with only teriyaki sauce& white sauce coming with rice and salad (which not anywhere near asian style). That's definitely not the authentic one, it's edible definitely but just disappointed since I personally expected it to do a nice japanese restaurant (Especially, when they got high review in google map)

Food was awful. I had salmon teriyaki, blandest salmon I’ve ever tasted. Daughter in law had a beef dish which was super dry. My daughter ordered katsu curry and loaded fries. She asked if there was cheese on the fries and was assured there wasn’t ….. there was!!! Also there was some kind of meat which was inedible. The katsu curry didn’t arrive at all and when I asked the waitress when it was coming, she said “you didn’t order a katsu curry” and flashed her notepad at me to prove this!!! No apology. . Won’t be back

Visited for lunch a few times, food always great and staff more than happy to help with menu items as not a fan of raw fish. Bento box great value and filling option for lunchtime

Booked a table weeks in advance only to be told on arrival that they couldn’t honour it. The staff were rude and completely unapologetic. Thankfully other restaurants in the area are far more accommodating.
