When Ka Ka Lok appeared next to long standing Chinese / Malaysian restaurant Asia Style with its bright red signage and funky Chinese style cartoon logo I thought to myself, "ooft that's brave opening up next to a Glasgow institution". But, to my delight, this place more than stood up for itself. Although the restaurant is rather big and sparse looking, it was busy and loud enough, with a regular turnover of local Chinese customers to give the place a good vibe. We were warmly greeted on arrival and taken to our table. The waitress promptly gave us two menus to look over, one an 'English' menu and the other a 'Chinese' one. The English menu contained your typical Black Bean / Sichuan / Sweet & Sour type dishes, probably curated for the westerners. Not Fish & Chips and Chicken Pies as I had originally imagined being on an 'English' menu. The Chinese menu was a Hong Kong style fare, with more traditional dishes such as Clay Pot stews, seafood/fish dishes, roasts etc. Needless to say we all ordered from the Chinese menu and the staff were ever so friendly in helping us to make our decisions. In fact the owner was key to helping us have a great meal as he picked out some great dished for us. We opted for a dozen dumplings to nibble on as an appetiser, which were delicious. Then a feast of Clay Pot dishes arrived, including aubergine and salt fish, XO Seafood, an outstanding and tender beef stew, three kind roast containing pork belly / char sui / duck, Singapore style noodles and a giant vat of rice. It has to be said the quality of the food and ingredients was second to none and the portions were hugely generous. Again the owner and his staff made us feel incredibly welcome and they kept checking up on us to make sure we were happy with the food. Although they don't have a drinks license, we were treated to endless supplies of refreshing jasmine tea. Furthermore they have a great tasting Aloe juice, which I think I may now be addicted too. To summarise Ka Ka Lok, weird name, amazing food and cheap as chips!

When we visited on Saturday night I was every so slightly scared, not knowing what we would find, but cheered on by AustenM's cheeky - you go where no other food blogger is prepared to go! I marched down the stairs and straight into the restaurant. I would be lying if I said the inside was anything other than functional.... there were grey tiled walls, a few tables with red paper tablecloths and a few paper Chinese lanterns strung up on the roof. It was clean and not especially scary. The staff were pleasant enough, although because of the way the restaurant is set up the staff couldn't see our table and so we had to work kind of hard to get their attention to order food and drinks. It is worth mentioning that earlier in the day we tried to book a table but the person that answered the phone couldn't speak English and hung up on us. Here is where Asian Gourmet comes into it's own.... amazing food. The menu is pretty extensive with a large section of more traditional Asian meals including Fish Head Pot, Duck Tongue and Stir Fried Pork Kidney?!?!? However, please don't let this put you off because they also have an incredible selection of western friendly dishes available for the less adventurous. We ordered a whole host of dishes to share including - Salt & Chilli Squid, Kung Po Chicken, Twice Cooked Chinese Pork, Dumplings and some fish/aubergine dish that I never even touched. We also ordered a couple of potions of chips and some rice. For me the stand out was definitely the Squid, which was so good we ordered a second portion. The coating was light and crispy and the squid was tender and salty. A cracking dish! The pork would come a very close second, it was incredibly aromatic and the dish was heaving with lots of meat. The Chicken was okay; again there was heaps and heaps of meat in this dish. However, it was maybe just slightly on the rubbery side - but perfectly edible and I would happily order and eat it again. I can't even give you an opinion on the aubergine dish because I just didn't like the look of it - it was super oily and didn't look like my kind of thing at all, so I gave it a miss. The entire bill came to a ridiculously cheap £72.90, which included chilli bean sprouts (which were amazing) and green tea on arrival, 7 main dishes, 5 drinks and complimentary orange and sweets with the bill. None of us could quite wrap our heads around how cheap it was. This is a cracking hidden little gem of a restaurant - please don't be put off by its appearance - the food was absolutely beautiful and the price was amazing. I will definitely be back here again, and if I want a Chinese take away from now on I will be ordering from Asian Gourmet for sure.

I was intrigued before, but the moment I phoned to book a table and the voice on the other end said I do not speak English and hung up, I knew I had to go! On arrival the outside is a bit off putting and the inside is very basic, more Chinese restaurant in Asia than what we expect from a Chinese restaurant in Glasgow. Still the staff were very welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. So on to the food and drinks. Free bean sprouts to start and free jasmine tea. All lovely. We then shared several dishes between the group of 5 of us. Stand out for me was the salt and chilli squid. It was so good we ordered another portion. I also loved the double cooked pork. The Kung po chicken was tasty, but the chicken was chopped a bit small for me. The only dish I was not sure about was the aubergine with salted fish. It was just a little to oily and fishy for me, but I reckon that's just a taste thing. On the side we had rice and chips and by the end I was stuffed! At the finish with the bill they brought us out loads of free chewy sweets and oranges. Then came the best bit. I felt we had had a banquet and it only came to 16 quid per person. It looked like the rice was only a quid a bowl! The value for money here is phenomenal. This place deserves a strong four stars. I think it's got a couple of competitors perhaps doing a wee bit higher quality food and in a better setting that stops me going with five stars, but that should in no way put you off coming here. Fantastic food, great value and a really interesting dining experience. I will return!

Trudie M and I dropped in for a spot of lunch today and we were not disappointed. The menu is simple, about 20 rice dish options, a couple of congee ones and a couple of noodle ones. This is a cafe style place, nothing to fancy, but the food had tonnes of taste and the staff were extremely friendly. All the dishes are 7.50 a go, you get a huge bowl of rice and your chosen topping. I had salt & pepper pork loin and it was tremendous. The pricing is also great. We got loads of food and two tsing Tao for just 22 quid. We were really full and left very happy. The food tasted really fresh and actually sort of healthy to. Another great addition to the ever growing Chinese restaurant scene in Glasgow. It has lots of stiff completion already, but for me it is 5 stars of course... But you probably could of guessed that.

The menu is simple - mostly rice dishes with a couple of noodle/congee dishes. I ordered aubergine and pork with rice for £7.50 and was really impressed - a big portion and really filled me up after a day of drinking. Staff were friendly, the vibe was relaxed and the price was very reasonable. Even including a couple of beers I think it was about £12 each. I'll definitely be back.
