The Bungo Bar and Kitchen in Glasgow City

Always enjoy eating in the Bungo, the staff are professional, friendly and fun. I took a couple of friends who had never been before they loved the menu, I had the Mexican hash, to die for it is that good. I would recommend the Bungo for anyone looking for great food at a reasonable price in a relaxed atmosphere . Thanks to the staff and chef for an enjoyable time, I will be back along with my friends.

Unfortunately Bungo hasn’t stood the test of time. The food just isn’t consistent. Poached eggs over cooked with that vinegar flavour from the water. A number of poached eggs dishes on the menu so really should be getting that one right. There is an overwhelming smell of dirty mop water when entering in the morning so it doesn’t feel very clean. Just isn’t keeping up with the local competition which is a real shame for such a long standing pub.

We reserved some space to gather with friends to celebrate our daughters 1st birthday. The manager was incredibly accomodating and attentive as always. I have always noted on previous visits how well run and hospitable The Bungo is and this occasion was no exception. Food is consistently good, atmosphere is lovely and staff are attentive and professional. I have enjoyed going there in the past for dates, nights out with friends, and now with family. It caters for all well and we are so pleased to have this as our neighbourhood bar.

Have been to the Bungo a couple of times for food in the past and found the it so-so but not much bang for the buck. Popped in this month for a monthly event held there and felt a general unease about the place, female bar member was rude and obnoxious and on a second trip to the bar we were charged £4.50 for a pint of Coke!! The tumbler was filled with ice so was probably a half pint in there, rip off city! No chance of being back in over the summer after this double dose, much better atmospheres elsewhere in the surrounding area.

Arrived at 5pm on Satuday 24th Feb for an early dinner before the Strathbungo WindowsFestival with a friend. The staff were very attentive making us feel at home. The food was great and came promptly. We had starters of cauliflower and satay chicken both delicious. For mains we chose the chicken burger and chicken tortillas. Again spot on. The staff kept checking if we wanted more drinks without being pushy. We were both drinking the Joker IPA which was in great condition so it was hard to refuse. The Bungo is obviously a very well run establishment we would highly recommend and are looking forward to another visit soon. Thanks to the staff for looking after us so well. Thanks for paying the bill Seamus. James Fraser.

I live locally and fairly regularly pop into the Bungo for drinks. Have eaten here a few times over the years and alway enjoyed ( the Bungo take on Christmas dinner is a winner every year!!!) was very nearly put off having dinner here tonight after reading recent reviews. So glad we didn’t change our plans. Dinner was fab. Service great too. Always think the Bungo has a great laid back but welcoming atmosphere and the food is super tasty. Will keep coming back! Thanks guys.

Really disappointed in this place, reviews do not reflect the restaurant at all. I would not recommend it. Food was overpriced and not good. I ordered a dish which was not advertised as having an egg on it on the menu and there was a semi cooked egg on top. I did not want to make a fuss in front of friends but i really dont like eggs so had to eat round it. The chapati on the side was so hard and burnt i could not eat it. Everything was lukewarm. Waitress very unfriendly. Child we had with us dropped some food on the floor and i noticed the floor under our table was dirty and covererd in dog hairs. Toilets were not very clean either. Will definitely not be going back.

Very good food, pleasant service, and friendly clientele

Limited menu in may opinion. Not your typical English type "pub" food

Great wee lunch with family including our dog. Staff were welcoming & fabulous! Will definitely return. Fish & chips delicious - chicken burgers a real treat

Went with friends had coffee roll & sausage it was packed with sausages staff very attentive background music on just right

Great brunch! Lovely place with a good chill vibe. Friendly staff & dog friendly

Food was brilliant and washed down with an great pint of Heverlee 2023 - another brilliant meal from the Bungo, all washed down with excellent wines.

Great food, staff and atmosphere. Ideal for bringing dogs.

Lovely 1st experience, food was lovely ,staff polite and professional

Requested a window seat and was given it which was the best part of my whole experience. After ten minutes I had to request a drink and food order which also took a long time. The food was over priced and my singular poached egg on my breakfast was rock solid in the middle. No check back on food mid meal and when I raised the complaint about the food while paying my bill the server laughed it off and said ‘people send back the eggs all the time haha!’ Also had to go up to the bar to request the bill and then request the card machine. 2 words: won’t be back

Food was good .I had turkey it was nice but maybe too many different flavours

The Bungo used to be a great place to eat south side in Glasgow, where you were always guaranteed good food and attentive service. Sadly neither were our recent experience - staff who really don’t care… plus food which was tasteless. (The batter was so heavy. ) Bungo needs to up its game with all the local competition now… it’s a nice place and great location. Come on Bungo you can do better …

My daughter and I had a lovely meal on Tuesday night. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly (tall guy with long hair tied back, sorry didn't get his name). The food was delicious. Loved the Vegan and Gluten Free menus! Definitely be back soon. Thanks again.

Did not make a reservation. But the staff was so helpfull and so friendly. Gave us tables. The food was delicious and having a pint of non alcoholic beer was brilliant as was doing the driving. Had a gr8 time.

I came here for the first time with my wife and I liked the atmosphere. Food was tasty and that's where all the good points ended. The service was slow and lacking. It took about 20-25 mins for our food to arrive. No other customer had food served prior to us so this couldn't have been the delay. As I got my food I asked for a pint and about 10-15 mins later I finished my meal and still no sign of my pint. The server apologized and said she's been really busy, so it seems that my drink order was never provided to the bar. It was a let down that was an otherwise nice time out. Would I go again? Maybe, but the service would make me think twice.

Always a great place to go for a few drinks or a bite to eat. Friendly place with good service. Decent wines and nit too expensive. Would definitely recommend meeting your friends here for a few drinks or a nice meal.

Great food, fantastic bloody Mary and the staff are incredible!

BEWARE Coeliacs I ordered french toast from the Gluten free Menu. It arrived and i commented how it tasted very nice for GF bread and the server said ‘what you ordered Gf bread?’ i said ‘yes, you took my order from the gf menu’ She said she would check. The owner came out and apologised that they had an order for ordinary bread. Didn’t help me as i was throwing up in their bathroom and was ill for the rest of the day. Was refunded for my french toast. Big deal. Had a terrible experience and my partner paid for their food. Won’t be back. Careless and it wasn’t even busy! Avoid!

Was at the comedy night, great venue, efficient and friendly staff. Will go for a meal next time.

Lovely place and staff, family friendly

Oh I just love going to The Bungo! Food is amazing. Malaysian Chicken is the most amazing meal I have had. Great that it is dog friendly, my big lump of a bulldog is allowed on seat with her blanket, gets her water and staff and customers pamper her Staff cannot do enough for you And all completely on one lever so totally wheelchair accessible! Street parking easy and generally find a space. Cannot wait to return

Good food. Service slightly slow.

There were seven of us on Saturday and everybody had a great meal. A little difficult to get a hold of the waiters sometimes, but it was very busy great atmosphere and great setting. Would definitely keep going back

Best part pet friendly. You can try their continental dishes..

I cannot speak highly enough of the food here. An eclectic Bruch menu was not let down by the food when it finally arrived! Generous, delicious portions served with a smile. We will definitely be back.

La comida muy rica, variada. Quizás demasiado picante para nuestro gusto. Pregúntanos y nos indicaron que era mild, pero más bien sería strong. Éramos 6 personas y la mesa era pequeña para todos y toda la comida. Tocaba quiz night y no avisaron que así sería a quién reservó y fue una cena ruidosa hasta que acabó. Cuando acabó mejoró mucho.

Pues excelente. Para empezar un buen trato por parte de todo el personal, además de que me atendieron muy rápido y bien. La comida me gustó mucho. Simplemente deliciosa. El precio está muy bien para una calidad tan buena. Tienen variedad de cervezas y licores. Uno de mis sitios favoritos desde entonces. El cheesecake me enamoró.

Bit overpriced but a lovely wee bar.

Accommodated a last minute reservation for 5 people on Friday evening. A lovely menu with excellent gluten free options the Nasi goreng was an excellent choice and thoroughly enjoyed it. All of the party enjoyed the food and the bill was reasonable. Good atmosphere attentive staff . Will definitely return.

Awesome food. Best chicken satay I’ve ever tasted but the rest of the small plates were really really tasty and a lovely Pinot to wash it all down. Great friendly staff too. Highly recommend.

Comedy night at The Bungo. Cracking comics

One of my favourite places in Glasgow southside for food! Always have a great time!

The food was good, however the service was awful with rude staff who wouldn’t even split a bill then we found out the reason extra £30 on top. The food is excellent especially the shashuka. However a lot of staff training needed on customer care.

Crisy tofu dish and wonton dish are so nice. Give it a try

Excellent resto-bar : plats succulents typiquement écossais et à des prix très raisonnables, accueil chaleureux et service impeccable 👌

Mains were quite tasty and staff were friendly but The Bungo missed lots details I expect a good restaurant to nail. Food took much longer to bring out than server said and some were almost cold, kitchen didn't tell server they were out of sauce for fish and chips and didn't offer a sub, quality of puddings was much lower than mains. Then after we paid our server, we stood to leave unhurriedly and someone dashed over to make sure we had paid.

Missus went to the bar with my card bought two beers. Lad behind the bar takes it from her and taps without confirming amount. Charged £19.90 for two corona, just as well my payment notifications are turned on……. Don’t let pushy barmen take your card. RESPONSE: Nope felt appropriate 1 star on service. Pretty big deal (to me) Shouldn’t take peoples cards from them and tap yourself IMO. Looks bad making excuses for poor service habits, how many others have been maybe overcharged?

Everything was good, nice atmosphere etc - but the food was excellent. I had a nasi goreng dish which was maybe the tastiest thing I have ever tasted, apart from my mum's mince.

Staff friendly and very helpful. Food amazing with so much taste and with wonderful mix of flavours. Great selection of gluten free for my coeliac wife. Very relaxing meal and our grandaughters enjoyed their kids meals as well! We will return

This was not a good experience from start to finish. A pint of craft beer and a glass of wine were constantly plagued by numerous small beer flies. A sign of an unclean bar or cellar area. For food we ordered a starter of Arancini (£8.50), very small and over cooked along with a main course Karaage Chicken Burger (£15.50). We were told that there were no burger buns but that this could be replaced with a morning roll. We declined the roll and decided to go without - no discount was offered. The two small pieces of chicken were gooey in places and it wasn't entirely clear what part of the bird they were from. At least the salad was fresh. Not worth the money.

Excellent food and fog friendly place

Definitely do not go here if you don't have a pet hipster in tow. We arrived and got seated at the very back in crapmed corner table even though there where tables available at front of bar,no biggy. Problem is when both of you are on crutches it helps not having to manoeuvre through the place. Anyway got seated given menus along with the list of what's not available then along comes a carafe of water while he takes drinks order,that arrived fairly promptly. So we looked and decided our order, and waited and waited some more,after being there 20 minutes we decided to leave as I think they had forgotten about us being tucked away in the corner. As we where on our way to pay for drinks before leaving the waiter said we didn't have to pay for drinks, reinforcing my thought of being forgotten about but I paid for them before leaving 2 large pepsi that where more ice than pepsi £9.20 ,it didn't even have tableclothes on the tables,prices like that maybe at a swanky hotel or restaurant but a pub? With terrible service to boot ,it's been hyped by their pr agents and friends I think it certainly didn't reflect on our experience. A small add on about your response,never once did the server say anything about a delay or a wait for food ,for all my legs don't work my ears work perfectly. There was no reserved signage anywhere to be seen and the free drink offer was declined as we are not free loaders,but maybe ask the server to give a more accurate account of events rather than the more embellished one that looks better as a response,we had either been forgotten about or ignored,busy or not the level of service obviously fell way short of what you obviously expect from your servers,your bar person had to put heads on pints before serving them after waiting for a server rather than walk 6 foot from the bar when they had been poured originally, definitely not what I accept as an owner or co worker.

Tasty Brunch at the Bungo. Can recommend the French Toast with bacon, absolutely scrumptious. Pleasant atmosphere, polite service and good value for money. Toilets on same level as bar so no stairs - always a plus.

Great cozy place, nice staff. Food was lovely and portions were big.

Wonderful food and friendly service!

This is our go to place for a hangover busting Scottish breakfast. Accidentally discovered it a while ago. As a recently re-converted meat eater (23 yrs veggie) I still go for the veggie option. My partner goes for the meaty one. I have sampled both...

£17 for 2 chicken nuggets, 4 prawn crackers, a fried egg and rice with an excessive allocation of cucumber to fill the “large” plate. The plate was indeed large but the main element was sadly sparse. Shameful offering compared to other dishes on offer. Best...

Fantastic place. Really interesting but decent brunch menu, food arrived promptly and HOT! A gem of a place :)

Inattentive staff, who make you feel you’re an inconvenience as opposed to a paying customer. I wouldn’t have left a review if this hadn’t of been the second time I’d visited The Bungo and received such appalling customer service. I won’t make the mistake of visiting here again. I would have complained at the time, in person, if anyone had bothered to try and serve me.

Good breakfast on the South Side. Staff are friendly but not overbearing. Wide gluten free menu available.

South Indian fish thali, and blackened monkfish, both delicious, fresh, hot and served quickly. They offer gluten-free and vegan menus and the food is interesting and varied. I would definitely return. Staff were lovely.

Lovely food and friendly staff, I always enjoy a trip to The Bungo when in Glasgow visiting

A great find (chosen because allows dogs in the bar area, but looked like an interesting menu). We loved it. The service was efficient and very friendly. The menu had lots of really interesting choices. We were all happy with our choices. The chicken waffles were amazing. Great choice of cocktails. Would happily return!

Wonderful brunch and the best Bloody Mary I've ever had! Highly recommended!

Great food, lovely staff only thing is the service was really slow

My daughter who is 9 and our labradoodle dog (who is big) had such a lovely lunch here, the staff were very friendly and our dog was very welcome. Our food was so tasty my daughter loved her pizza. Thanks so much we will be back again x

Excellent service and wanted to eat everything on the menu. Delish. Thank you 😊

Great food, some of the seating is a bit tight

Unfortunately, the staff let themselves down on this occasion. We sat for an hour with finished starter plates on our table. There was a staff member behind the bar cleaning glasses the whole time avoiding eye contact. Staff members walked past our table numerous times, avoiding eye contact. They didn't seem to want to ask if we needed more drinks either. On top of that, while some of the food was very good, some wasn't so good. I have been in to the bungo a few times with my dog, and they were much better. However, this experience has put me off, and I won't be back.

Coffee was fine, but we wanted brunch. We arrived at a not too busy time, and waited for our order to be taken. When no one came over after some time (even after we got our coffees) we flagged a member of staff down to take our order and she outright said she couldn’t take our order because there were tables who came in before us who weren’t ready yet. She needed to take their order first… What a strange policy. Me and my partner are fast diners and we would have been in and out in 40 mins. We decided to just drink our coffees and go by this point. We weren’t really impressed with the service or the atmosphere, which is a shame be abuse we had previously heard good things.

great place to eat, very relaxing, friendly customer service. I would highly recommend the Mexican Hash and the home made Kimchi waffle stack to anyone.

Had been once before a couple of years ago and it was a brilliant trip so when we were around the southside again we choose Bungo bar. There were a few tables in when we arrived and initially service was ok. Food was nice but...

Very sadly they no longer have Weihenstephaner on draft, or any wheat beer at all. Serious error of judgement! Manager excellent, decision makers not so much.

Food was bland at best. Chicken burger was dry. Jamaican chicken was flavourless with overcooked rice. Staff were a little grumpy also.

We went here for brunch on Mother‘s Day and it was great. The food was really tasty (classic eggs mornay was delish), coffee was good and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Dog friendly too.

Not been in here since it was the Fotheringay ...many years ago. Food was nice but fairly expensive. Staff were friendly and menu catered for various dietary needs.

Very good grub and beer, nice ambience too! No pressure to get out, dog friendly and kid friendly

Top drawer. Loved it. Had the Kim chi and chicken waffles. Good portion, fair price, absolutely delish. Top that with the best damn bloody mary I've had in Glasgow and that's a winner for me.

If you look, you can see I left a very positive review in 2013. I have been going to the Bungo for many years as you can see. I went with friends on a Friday evening for a meal. The restaurant was very quiet. There...

Really disappointing afternoon. Staff inattentive. Service slow to non-existent. Felt we were being ignored because we’d booked at an inconvenient changeover time (3.30pm) and the place was quiet. Food order wasn’t taken ‘til 4.05pm meaning we couldn’t choose from the 12-4pm menu. Food was fine. Had to resort to approaching the bar to ask for more drinks (which clearly wasn’t appreciated by staff). What a job we had getting someone to take our payment. We were eventually standing with our coats on (this was now after 6pm). It was all pretty unpleasant. Shame, because the service I experienced the last time was really good, I think the guy who served us then might have been one of the managers. None of us will return.

Awful Service! If you look on tripadvisor you will see that I left a very positive review in 2013. I have been going to the Bungo for many years. I went with friends on a Friday evening for a meal. The restaurant was very quiet. There were 4 staff members on that I could see. The food was very good but the service was absolutely appalling! We were ignored when trying to catch the staff's attention on several occasions. When trying to order drinks, we eventually had to go up to the bar to ask, by the look on the staff members face, it was evident that she was not happy with our request, (we didn't even receive the correct order). Even when trying to pay the bill we waited so long for them to bring the card machine and were ignoring our "excuse me's" that we considered just leaving. I was extremely disappointed to the point that I will never return. Unsure if management has changed?

The photos don't do it justice. The chef definitely knows how to use spices. Food was amazing. The cauliflower starter is delicious. Staff are lovely.

I have been here many times for brunch, lunch and dinner. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly. Looking forward to going back.

My husband took me here for my birthday brunch. I ordered from the gluten free menu and despite the restaurant being quiet, they have still managed to gluten me (either through complete disregard or lack or care). If you are like me, intolerant or coeliac,...

7 of us went here, menu was a bit limited but everybody enjoyed their meals, staff attentive

OK. Service slow (no direct access to bar) and poor veggie range (what they did was ok). Seem to be keeping a covidish booking system- whip them in, whip them out‐ even though there were several empty tables.

We went for the Christmas menu and it was absolutely delicious. My wife had the vegan option which looked and tasted amazing. I had the roast turkey which was equally delicious

A slight wait for service but the food is great and this is a great place to take children

I've eaten here loads, and often pop on for a wee drink or coffee. The staff are incredible, so friendly and helpful. The food is smashing - its a great place for lunch/brunch as theres something on the menu to please everyone. Highly rate and reccomend 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Bungo is locally adored for good reason. I've been for brunch a few times as a visitor to the area so after a stressful day of moving house decided to pop in for dinner. As anticipated it was a safe haven and the evening...

Great food, dog friendly, and open early enough to feed two hungry kids before a tourist day sightseeing

Sat down at 7.30 pm. Had to leave at 10.00 pm. Still no sign of sweet. Service very slow and drink prices high. Connection? Food bland and poorly presented. There will be no return visit.

Food was lovely, seating was very uncomfortable, we moved to another table but it wasn't really any better. That would put us off returning but food is good

Friendly service. The menu isn't the biggest but the dishes are a microcosm of the world's food. Very interesting and tasty 🌍🌶️🍜🍕😋

Dog-friendly cafe that have great food selection. We got 3 dishes and all of them were delicious. Service was great and food came out fast.

Great breakfast - (till4pm) abs service. Menu looks very interesting. And most importantly dog friendly

I visit this bar/bistro/restaurant regularly and it never disappoints, there is a community feel here you seldom experience elsewhere. The food is excellent and sometimes very adventurous.

Really good food! I'm vegan so really appreciated that I had a wide range of dishes to choose from. Friendly service and also had a good choice of wine. I've askari been in the day for a cup of tea and snack and enjoyed that...

Went with a mate, food was absolutely amazing: fresh and great variety of things to choose from, plenty of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options for those who need it. Atmosphere is great and most of the staff were friendly and helpful, but other members...

The menu provides something a bit different if that what you fancy, as well as more classic meals. My meal was lovely, the staff were a treat and they are mega dog friendly! Thumbs up all round!

Great to revisit The Bungo. Good food and brilliant staff.

Three off us started with stomach bug, two days after eating there, will dissuade me going back

Went for breakfast. Had to move table due to flies all over us at the window seats. This put my friend off her food. Fly actually in some of her food. Food was OK. But had better on previous visits Ioved this bar once. But this was unacceptable. And we won't be back

Tasty food and drink. Lots of choice. Dog friendly.
