The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Helensburgh Central Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

I am continuing my trip around Helensburgh's restaurants and takeaways. I think I need my own food critique job! 😁 Have always avoided Magic Wok as it doesn't have great ķèrb appeal. However, I saw the other reviews and most seemed positive. I always judge a Chinese by it's chicken and sweetcorn soup, just to keep a consistent order. Was very nice. Chicken cashew nuts were a little salty but perfectly edible. Honey chicken was a little dry but my fault as I didn't realise it didn't come with a sauce. Rice lovely and complimentary prawn crackers. Would definitely order again.

We recently moved to Helensburgh and have been to Bintang Emas several times since we moved here, always left happy, really recommend - the menu is huge loads of choice with dishes from China, Malaysia, Thailand and more…the thing which stands out most is the flavours in the dishes we ordered, delicious and strong, and also how fresh the ingredients are and the quality of the meat and seafood - the beef and prawns especially - we love the Malaysian Curry Laksa King Prawn dish and the Malaysian Penang King Prawn Noodle, the prawns are HUGE! The soup is delicious, loads of veg, and the prawns are massive and fresh and lots of them in the soup and also a boiled egg. Also love the beef satay skewers, we always order those for starter, the beef is so tender inside and crispy outside and satay sauce delicious. The food is really good value for money, portions are big. The lady at front of house is so lovely - friendly and fun, really welcoming and chatty, always keen to chat to us and also tell us all about the restaurant and the dishes :) she always brings out lots of prawn crackers for the table and then fortune cookies at the end!

Food was delicious 😋 very polite and friendly staff also very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.
