We were warmly greeted upon entering and shown a table right away. We were lucky we walked in when we did because the restaurant quickly filled up! Our server was very attentive. He gave us his stamp of approval when we ordered the "Steamed Sliced Fish Fillet with Preserved Green Chili & Red Chili" dish, saying it is a very authentic Chinese way to prepare fish. It was very flavorful and spicy -- my husband said, "it was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten." He never compliments food like this! The serving was very generous - we could have split only this dish! But we also had Seafood Fried Rice and Vegetable Gyozas so we were absolutely stuffed!

What a great experience for authentic Chinese food. The entire evening was outstanding; warm,…read morefriendly and efficient staff plus some of the best Chinese food I've had outside of China! We were told they have a new chef directly from China and he is amazing. You know when you eat in a place and 75% of the customers are Chinese; you're in a restaurant that gets the food correct. A wonderful experience and some really amazing food!

You can customize the amount of sugar and ice in your drinks, and as a bubble tea shop, it is perhaps one of be best you can find in Edinburgh. Definitely a place my friends and I frequent. A bit expensive to go too much, but well worth it if you like bubble tea.

I don't get the negative comments. We were a big group (9) and ordered mostly from their "Chinese…read moredish menu" (they have Vietnamese and Chinese dishes from multiple regions in China). The beef tripe was super yummy! Great with beer! Their braised pork belly with pickled veggies 梅茶扣肉 was done right, just like how a traditional Hakka grandma would make. The king prawns, the steamed fish, pan fried stuffed veggies, braised aubergines, & tofu 煎釀三寶 were delicious too. Beware of the spicy level though. You can ask for mild or not spicy on some dishes. The dishes we had were authentic regional dishes. Just not all from one region. A mix of north and south and the middle. I reckon their Chinese dishes would not taste like those from a neighborhood Chinese takeout shop though. Owner is Vietnamese Chinese. He said the Vietnamese pho and dishes were done how it would be made in his hometown. Gotta come back and try that. Also tried the Vietnamese beer. For what we had that night. It's 4.5 stars ambiance is casual family style

The food was great and a refresher from the usual Chinese food you get here in Scotland. The chow mein was incredible with tender meat and some incredible noodles. Only issue for me was the amount of veg inside. There was more veg than meat. Place looked really nice with an aquarium and some traditional Chinese decor. Will come back

Excellent service and the food is absolutely lovely have never had a bad meal or serviceread more

Read about this place in the Guardian as a top pick for Taiwanese food but as far as I could see,…read moreit was exclusively Chinese. Anyways..If you read my other reviews for Chinese food, I'm usually disappointed, this place was far from dissapointing. My chicken noodle soup was adequate but the gf's soup was much tastier. My chicken satay was great but wasn't satay. It was spicy but not peanutty, who cares, it was good! The gf's was not bad either and they were cooked to order as I waited and watched them being cooked whilst a birthday party (they have some seating) with a Chinese family was going on. Recommended.

I don't know if the chicken was not fresh or undercooked but the taste was really bad and my wife went directly to the bathroom. We didn't have a better experience with the house fried rice, the shrimp was almost raw, I barely touched the dish. Everything went directly to the garbage. We ordered that food for dinner and in the middle of the night I woke up with the terrible pain in the belly... Will never go back there again

Once the food got here, it was mediocre at best. Maybe I got here at the wrong time. Hot and sour soup was good, and I have never seen a cocktail prawn this sad before.

I have to say this was the most unexpected weirdest good experience I've had in a while. I was only…read morepopping along to the Savoy Centre to check out the Kilt Shop, which ended up being closed. I forgot all about here, as I had bookmarked a while ago. I had heard rave reviews about Bubble Tea down in London and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I can't believe we actually have one in Glasgow. It's take away only so all the menus are outside the shop and both in English and in a Chinese language. There is so much choice it's just a list after list of options. So after opting for the Strawberry Pearl Milk Tea with ice, the lady did her magic. It's a tea made with a milk or cream with a flavour of your choice containing the small black tapioca balls which nestle at the bottle of the plastic cup. This is were you get the pearls from, it's all in them special balls. So shaken, sealed and with a lovely big pink straw for me, I was given my first Bubble Tea. The straw is so wide, just enough for you to suck up the balls. Oooft, so much could be said here but keeping it pearly clean. Hehe!! It's such a weird sensation and it's like a wee surprise in your mouth. Steady! They are soft, chewy and taste lovely. My strawberry flavour was delicious, my man got coconut, also very tasty. If you haven't been it's definitely worth departing 3 of your British pounds for something unique with a unusual taste sensation.

Easy Way Tea I have found you! I had no idea somewhere like easy way tea existed. I have a memory,…read morea distant memory of trying this light and strange green tea drink when I was in Canada skiing. Never again did I think that I would find anything like it again, I had out those tapioca balls known in Canada as 'bubbles' being me and gotten back to the life of smoothies and fruit juice. Low and behold! Easy Way Tea exists in the strangest of places, the Savoy Centre!! There has never ever been any reason for me to go i to the Savoy Centre before in my life, but here it was! And no one knows about it? How can this be, these drinks really are a sensation. My first visit I had the Green apple flavoured green tea with the 'bubbles', oh that reminds me of holidays!! It was as good as the Canadian bubble tea as they called it. I think this sort of thing must be very popular in Taiwan, where I think it originated, because I recognised some of the contraptions which squeeze the bubbles into my drink. So refreshing and light, not like a smoothie at all, more like iced tea with little balls in it to suck up through a huge straw.

Dim Sum Sunday is a thing...... in Glasgow!!! Did you not know?…read more Well its actually Dim Sum Saturday, Sunday and I think one day during the week, but I went on the Sunday so for me its Dim Sum Sunday. China Town has been about for decades and believe it or not last weekend was my first visit to it. Reflecting back that's sort of bizarre considering my live for all things dumpling and Asian cuisine in general. First impressions when you walk in are you can tell it's been about a bit, the décor is a wee bit dated and you can tell some of it was put together many years ago. That said the service is friendly and its clean, so who cars abut the décor as your there for the food. They do an Al carte menu, but I was there purely for the Dim Sum so I did not even read, in case was tempted to get two dinners!. We shared a selection between 4 dumplings fans... Highlights for me were - Deep Friend Beef with Ginger and Spring Onion, Prawn Dumpling with Salad Cream, Dried scallops & Veg Dumplings, Satay beef dumplings, pork and prawn dumplings, Chair Siu Bun.... I could literally go on and on. There was nothing I did not like, don't get me wrong as well as the ones I mentioned as amazing highlights, there was some that were just OK, but I can genuinely say I liked the lot. Boiled to steamed, buns to dumplings it was all good. I now really want to go back for the Al carte menu and will do in the next few months. If you like dumplings and dim sum you're going to love this please. Just make sure you check serving times and days before you go as they do not do the full menu all the time.

There's a few Yelpers who've reviewed it and had good things to say so I knew I could trust their judgement! The restaurant entrance is around the side of the building - the grand entrance is for the supermarket. Inside the restaurant is set up like most Chinese restaurants - large round tables with lazy susans and a few smaller ones around the side. The decor is kind of 80s, a big chandelier and a big fish tank. No complaints though! We ordered a selection of the dishes from the dim sum menu and shared - Shanghai mini bun, beef cheung fung, scallop and vegetable dumplings, spring rolls, char sui buns, squid. I really liked everything, to be totally honest - a great mix of food, all served quickly and really hot, and it was really tasty. I think the car sui buns and the Shanghai mini buns were two of my favourites but it was good to try something totally different like the beef cheung fung which was really silky and tasty. Staff were really friendly, helpful and fast but also having a bit of a laugh with us. The bill was around £20 each including tip and a lot of soft drinks - and I had a couple of tsingtao beers. This was a really nice place to try for something different at Brunch Club, and I'd definitely go back for dinner or another dim sum session soon.
