About Lychee Oriental

Right in the middle of Glasgow, this is a smart, buzzy Chinese spot that manages to be genuinely warm with children — one family mentions staff taking the time to learn their kids' names and chat to them, which tells you a lot. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus a gluten-free menu, which is rarer than it should be. Food comes out fast without anyone feeling rushed, portions are generous, and the lunchtime two-course deal is good value. Starters get the loudest praise — ribs, chicken skewers, salt and pepper fries, prawn toast — along with the lemon chicken and the roast duck in plum sauce. The snag: tables are packed in tightly, so it can feel cramped with a pram, and it gets very busy. Book ahead, and ask for a booth if you're a group.
