Food was superb and the staff lovely. Girls night out. We had a selection of starters, mains with rice and noodles. Everything was tasty. We laughed and we’re made to feel really important. Great service all round.

We enjoyed the early evening 2 course meal which was an absolute steal. For starters we enjoyed Chicken Satay Skewers with Spicy Peanut Sauce and Chilli N Salt Pork Ribs. The Tiger King Prawn Ginger and Spring Onions were superb and the amount of fresh ginger on the dish was very generous. We also had Thai style chilli beef which was also great. Visited again the following evening as the food and service was so good. Perfect Thai cuisine served by a very courteous team!

We visited the restaurant following a family recommendation, but we're so disappointed. Mainly by the rushed, uninterested staff.I explained that my partner was vegetarian but couldn't have mushrooms. Despite advising that, when the vegetable spring rolls arrived they were full of mushrooms. Luckily he noticed before eating them.The main course, vegetables with ginger and spring onions, was fairly bland. Normally this sauce has a strong ginger taste but, while it was nice enough, there was no distinct ginger taste.While the food was average, we would have considered going back to try something else, had it not been for the staff.The waitress didn't listen to my clear advice about mushrooms. But the older lady with the green Shanghai Tearooms tshirt was exceptionally rude. When she came to clear our table there was a spoon at the far side that I hadn't noticed. Instead of asking me to pass it over to her, she aggressively pointed at it, made a rude noise to demonstrate her frustration and then leaned over me rather than waiting for me to get it. She then wipe our table with a soaking wet cloth and left us with a wet table as we were finishing our drinks.It was not just us that she was rude to, as she also thumped cutlery down on the adjacent table.You go out for dinner to experience good food and enjoy the atmosphere, but the atmosphere was one of staff trying to do everything too quickly that they have forgotten the basic principles of caring for the customer and asking if they enjoy the meal.Unfortunately we won't be back.

Visited tonight. Food was absolutely beautiful certainly not bland. Satay starters were amazing the sauce was the best we have ever tasted. Main courses were plentiful but we both still managed to polish them off along with the salted chilli chips. We even managed desert which was lovely. The staff were very friendly and made us very welcome we will return soon.

My son had the chicken wings and we both had chicken satay . The mains we had honey chicken , curry and prawn with cashews. The prawn dish was fab with 7 huge king prawns . Really good value .

Second visit to the Chinese restaurant and the food was amazing!I got a takeaway and when arriving home realised half my order was missing so I had to take the 20 minute journey back. My food had to be re heated as a result of this which wasn’t ideal.The restaurant were extremely apologetic and did give some compensation in the way of complimentary bottle which was fair enough!Will be back, probably for a sit in the next time!

We took some friends for a 60th birthday lunch treat and were delighted. I have strong Chinese connections and found the food and ingredients of high quality. We splashed out £38 a head for the buffet and thoroughly enjoyed soup, mixed starters and a mix of beef, duck, chicken and scallop dishes with copious amounts of quality green tea. My favourite was the beef, asparagus and chilli. On top of that there was dessert. The banana fritters were to die for. The chef seemed to take a pride in cooking lovely fresh food and the staff warmed to us as we to them. They were helpful with the request for minimising the msg and refilling the tea pots. Everything was quality and Shanghai Teahouse did us proud on this special occasion. We were able to linger a lot longer than the maximum 1.5 hours normally permitted. I hope we can find an excuse to return.

I have just tried to book a family dinner for 8 now that the restrictions have changed (our first family outing since the restrictions were imposed pre Christmas) and have been told that this restaurant does not want to take bookings for a table of 8 at the weekend. I wanted a table at 6pm on a Saturday and was told that would not be possible and would I not want to come during the week or at lunchtime instead. I cannot believe or understand the rude and unhelpful response I got. I find it staggering that given the level of restrictions in place over the last 1 and a half years that this restaurant is unwilling to welcome a family for dinner. I will not be trying to book a table there again.

Just had a website booking (very) forcibly & rudely cancelled over the phone at a day’s notice, because ‘Government restrictions’ won’t accommodate this - despite the fact that they actually will and that the restaurant’s own website is still taking bookings as normal.

Food average. Service average. Extremely overpriced. Nice environment. We were given the main menu and had 2 cokes, 2 main dishes and 2 deserts. The bill was over £50.00! The main courses were around £14 and the chips or rice were an extra £4 each. We also ordered 2 chocolate fudge cakes, however they brought us 2 sticky toffee puddings which we just accepted as we had no more time to get them changed. Overall - an average meal out but certainly not good value for money.

Small but perfectly formed, this place is definitely worth seeking out. The food quality is excellent although costs a little more than your average Chinese. Its worth it though, the chicken satay was delicious as were the ribs. The beef curry was so tasty and tender and my absolute favorite is the honey chilli chicken with noodles. Staff are friendly and efficient too. The only downside is the set lunch menu is fairly limited and i struggled to find anything i liked to start so had to order from the main menu and would have preferred the smaller main. Overall, a fantastic meal and we hope to be back soon.

I can’t comment on service or staff, but can highly recommend a takeaway from the Teahouse. This was our first experience of this restaurant, and the food we had was superb. Having spent almost five weeks in the Far East last autumn, we have become a bit more fussy about the oriental food served in our local area, but can truthfully say that we were both very pleasantly surprised with how good our meal was. Our first visit, but definitely not our last. Well done, Shanghai Teahouse!

Have been here a few times and can never fault the food, but the service isn’t great every time I have visited, the last time I went has put me off returning, I booked a table for 6pm and arrived a few minutes early, took a while for anyone to come and see us. Then a woman came and asked have you booked, I said yes and she said do you want to sit outside or inside and I said inside to which she replied very rudely, “well you will be waiting a while” you don’t expect when you have booked a table to be told when your going to be waiting a while, we were then left awkwardly standing the the door way which wasn’t ideal when people were coming in for take aways and trying to get passed for the toilet, we then decided to stand outside so we could at least social distance out there as there was zero social distancing inside, we stood outside for 15 minutes then decided we would just eat outside due to it being so busy inside, no one apologized to us which I found ridiculous, the staff don’t seem to bother at all, I have emailed them 3 weeks ago to complain about how rude they were but never heard back, also sent a message on Facebook but they have opened it and ignored it too, If I had got an apology I would have thought about going back but the fact they can’t even do that has totally put me off going back

As the title says it was our first visit and won’t be our last. We had mushrooms in white wine and garlic sauce and king prawn on sesame toast to start, both huge portions and piping hot. Mains were Japanese chicken Katsu and king prawn sweet and sour Hong Kong style. 2 portions of fried rice and one side of skinny fries. Food was lovely although you get a really small bowl of the curry sauce and need double the amount to cover the chicken. One dessert was ordered - ice cream. Service was good.2 beers, a soft drink, a coffee and a malt £72.Little overpriced but we enjoyed it and would visit a couple of times a year.

This did spoil our enjoyment a little and the chap that served us even apologised to us and it wasn't even his fault. But it won't stop us going back and we have already booked our Christmas dinner.

Booked this for a Monday afternoon/ early dinner for my Husband's birthday after being at Lychee the weekend before for a change! Our meals were nice, Son's fish fingers from the kids menu were like rock but that's not why I wanted to write the review! On arrival I was made to feel very uncomfortable whilst I was taking my baby out of the pram and getting him into the highchair and also whilst I was seating my older child. My son picked up the battery operate tea light candle and he was very quickly given into trouble for this and told he must behave and to not touch any of the ornaments that were beside our table. This was all from an older man who seemed to be in charge! I asked the waitress to take a cake and candles for the end and she didn't even say a word to me. My husband returned from the toilet and I said that I felt very uncomfortable and considered just leaving but we decided to stay after all the effort made to even get there!! The man in charge was very fidgety, always looking to see what the kids were doing (not just mine), saw him give the waitress into trouble a few times and generally made me feel really uneasy. I would never normally write a review like this but when I left and thought about how I felt I actually got quite angry! At the end they couldn't have taken our plates away any quicker. I had to then go to the bar and mention the cake and he said to me, "Do you just want to take that away with you now". Yes that's right I packed a birthday cake with candles to give to you behind the bar only to just take it away with me again!!!! Absolutely shocking! He clearly could not be bothered!! I have read some other reviews and the customer service so I know we are not alone. Its a shame as the food was lovely but I will not be back whilst that man is in charge!

Well, been at least 5 times now (and had around 5-6 takeaways) and it really has been a mixed bag but this visit is the last. Booked a table for 7:45pm for 5 people, arrived on the dot had to wait 15 minutes for table which would be ok if there was somewhere to sit/have a drink but when you are left standing at a draughty doorway not so good. Eventually got sat and menus tossed down on table by older waitress who scurried away to do something else...no asking if we wanted drinks or anything. After another 15 minutes sitting with the menu we eventually nabbed a young, very harassed waitress and asked for a drinks order. The male head waiter came and put the bottle of water ordered and an unopened bottle of wine on the table and disappeared, no glasses, no beers. We saw him wandering about in and out the bar with our wine glasses in his hand and walk past our table 3 times, he then stopped to chat to another table, glasses still in hand and eventually after another 10 minutes we had to go over and remind him we were still sitting with no glasses or beers, we told him we'd been in the building nearly 40 minutes but he didn't seem to care much. We had given our food order to the same young harassed waitress who seemed to be the only one doing any real work. Food came out quick enough (again young waitress, head waiter disappeared completely). We observed a table of 4 near us going to up to the bar to ask for to be served and on another table leaving the older waitress was being helped to clear up by a chef or kitchen porter wearing a dirty apron. The older waitress was agitated and animated speaking to the chef/porter and appeared to be angry about something pointing towards the bar area. This isn't good to see and there is something very wrong with the management in this place. The head waiter doesn't appear to do much at all and the two waitresses appeared frazzled and teary, Of our food, out of 5 meals, the starters for everyone were good but of the mains three were good (the halibut in spring onions very nice) and the other two poor. I would not recommend the monkfish and oyster sauce which was tasteless and gloopy, the gluten free sweet and sour was also a gloopy luminous red/orange and no better in taste than any the local take-aways. At £18-£19 for a main course they really need to up their game. Mixed food reviews is one thing but to see staff so frazzled is not conducive to a nice night out.

Absolutely love this contemporary and friendly restaurant. Delighted to have a dedicated gluten free menu, getting through all the options, truly delicious. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Fantastic to have a local high standard Chinese restaurant.

Pretty busy Wednesday night but they managed to get me in to a single table behind the bar. Lovely decor, modern and tasteful. Service was exceptional throughout - quick, responsive and efficient.

Ate dinner with friends last Saturday night. First visit and not sure if we will return. The restaurant was very noisy which made conversation difficult. The food was good but not a huge menu selection. Service was average. Expensive for what it was.

We were seated 30mins after our reservation time, but apart from that it was all good. Food was lovely - my friend was very impressed that they had a gluten free menu! - and portions were enough to fill you but not uncomfortably so. We had enough room for the lovely mango sorbet at the end. Decor is upscale and smart with nice artistic touches. Not the cheapest (~£65 plus tip for 3 courses, 2 people, no alcoholic drinks) but we liked it and will be back.

The restaurant was extremely busy for a Wednesday night which is always a good sign. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was very good but not exceptional. Starters were excellent but the chicken in a couple of the main dishes was rather over cooked and tough. All in all a good restaurant but could do better.

Had Dinner with my wife on Sunday 7th July. First impressions was a really cool place. A huge improvement from the former China Cottage. Staff very attentive. However, the culinary experience was very average. 2 Main Courses 1 portion of rice, 2 drinks for £47.00.Not good VFM.Would find it very difficult to return to this Overpriced Restaurant. Ian C

This was our first visit for lunch, and as we are regular visitors to Lychee Oriental in Glasgow, we were eagerly anticipating our meal. When we entered, a very grumpy and unwelcoming waitress asked if we had a reservation. We had not considered booking a table as it was 1.30pm on a Monday afternoon and the restaurant was not full by any manner of means. When informed that we did not have a reservation, she rolled her eyes, looked at her watch to imply we were on the clock, deliberated and then decided we could have a table. The restaurant is small but very elegantly decorated. We opted for the Lunch Menu of 2 courses for £10.50, which gives adequate choice. Once seated, drinks orders were taken immediately and arrived very quickly indeed, with prawn crackers. At that point we were asked if we had our orders ready and we opted for Salt and Chilli wings and Chicken Satay to start. They were both nicely presented with a delicious salad on the side. Main courses were Honey Chilli Chicken and Beef with Asparagus, both with fried rice. The Honey Chilli Chicken had a lot of vegetables and not a lot of sauce but was very enjoyable. The beef was extremely soft and, as someone who hates asparagus, I really enjoyed it (not that I am about to go and start consuming large amounts of asparagus). The portions are decent for a lunch menu. The food was all well presented, warm and clearly used quality ingredients. The service was most unpleasant and the waitress surly and rude, through all courses. As we were finishing our Main course, staff started to hover over us making us feel rushed, when the restaurant was still nowhere near full. This would not put us off returning as the food and menu are really nice, but service is important and we feel it could be improved. The ladies toilet is also nicely decorated but is not wheelchair/disabled guest friendly. The car park at the rear is extremely small but there is on street parking and other official parking in Bothwell which is within easy reach. The bill for the 2 meals, 2 diet irn bru's and 2 tap waters (no charge unlike a recent visit to another Chinese restaurant in Glasgow which charged £2) was £26.20, which is very reasonable. We will go back for Dinner as there is a lot of items we are keen to try and we would recommend a visit, but we will book our tables

Visited for the third time for Sunday lunch this week. We had booked and arrived 15 mins early to an empty restaurant. Female staff member appeared harassed and we were greeted with 'yes' and as if a nuisance. I queried if the restaurant was actually open and was told it was. Actually considered leaving due to the unfriendliest greeting I've had in a while but as my husband was keen to try it for the first time we stayed. Food (from the pre theatre menu which they serve during day on a sun) is excellent value at approx £15 for 2 courses is tasty and delicious. Decor very nice and we had no problem parking in small carpark behind restaurant. All good but just need to work on staff front of house training.

First visit in years complete re vamp from old China Cottage very trendy lovely decor and spotless wash rooms. Very busy and great buzz about the place food smells were amazing. Having eaten Cantonese Chinese food for years delighted to see a menu with dishes I haven't tried and some I never heard off. Starters were amazing and our main course of duck with spring onion and ginger and the kum Po were delicious.Had an issue with our table as it was right under the air con unit this made the food cold before the meal could be finished it was also cold in general and when it was pointed out the waitress apologised and shut it off. When paying the bill the general manager without being asked discounted the food bill.A very generous offer and great PR so left happy would love to come back they do however have an issue with the ventilation as you can smell the cooking from your clothes, I'm sure they will sort and I would definitely recommend coming here.

K-Wok Chinese Takeawaylocation-icon154 High StreetChinese

We don’t usually opt for Chinese, but as we are away for the weekend we thought we would give it a shot and can honestly say we were not disappointed! The lady who took our order was professional and welcoming and made clear to us what to expect and when. The driver did a fabulous job of finding us tucked away at our little cottage and was lovely to speak to! As for the food it was absolutely delicious, we had mushroom chow mein, prawn toast, sweet and sour chicken and salt and chilli chicken and it was absolutely fabulous. Food was hot and well seasoned and couldn’t find fault with it. If we ever visit this part of Scotland again we’ll be sure to return!
