Cantonese · Glasgow
Dim sum is the reason to come — shrimp dumplings and char siu buns that people who know Hong Kong say taste like home, plus roast duck, pork belly and dry beef ho fan that regulars order every visit. Main portions are big and built for sharing, which works well when children pick at things. Dishes arrive one at a time as they're cooked, so something lands on the table quickly rather than everyone waiting. It's cosy and warm rather than roomy, with high chairs, buggy access and a kids' menu, and the staff are welcoming (Cantonese, Mandarin and English all spoken). Weekends get genuinely busy — book ahead. Prices are fair for the quality, though the set dinner is a milder, less exciting way in than ordering dim sum properly.
