Both myself and my boss spend a lot of time in Glasgow on business. We wanted to try a different restaurant, so we went on a wander to find a place that neither of us had ever eaten at. We weren't allowed to consult reviews or anything like that. We stumbled upon Opium and the menu enticed me in straight... More

For my grandas 65th, 12 of us went here for dinner, the food was outstanding. The staff could not have been nicer. The chilli squid is a must and the pomegranet sweet and sour chicken. My cousins were delighted with their deep fried ice cream as was I with my banana fritters! The cocktails went down a treat too. Wouldn't... More

This is a fab wee place. Great place to go for lunch. The set menu is great but if you fancy straying off that then you will be even more richly rewarded. The squid and the silken tofu are indescribably delicious. Ribs are yummy. I've also had braised shin of beef in broth with noodles and it was cooked to... More

We went here after reading reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. The creativity of the traditional/ contemporary fusion menu really works and the Sea bass Laksa and the Seafood Dumplings in Green Curry were two of the best Thai dishes I've ever had! The flavours are bold and vibrant and the fish is fresh and perfectly cooked.... More

Very good restaurant with a good staff. Very friendly and organised. Good food, with tasty dim sum. Main dishes were excellent as well. Nice choice of wines and the cocktail we had was super! Near CitizenM hotel 5 min walk. Clean table and toilets. No cheap, but value for money. Nice for business diner or romantic diner.

Came here based on its TA rating and overall I wasn't disappointed - when I came in it was pretty quiet and the service was very prompt but by the time I finished the place was jam packed and the service slipped a little I had the Thai soup followed by the Hong Kong Beef Flank - the soup was...
