China Blue

Chinese New Year dinner like no others As Chinese New Year approaches, we eagerly anticipated a memorable reunion dinner at China Blue as we had a magical reunion dinner here last year. The restaurant did not disappoint, delivering an exceptional Chinese New Year feast that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

China blue offers some of the best Chinese cuisine you could find in Merchant City. It has a warm and cozy atmosphere, which led us to visit the restaurant regularly after our frisbee session. My personal favourite is the silver needle noodles or LauShuFen in Mandarin, a rather traditional dish which I would assume is the only restaurant that would serve it in Glasgow. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for some authentic Chinese cuisine in Glasgow city centre.

Working in Glasgow we visited blue china and I can honestly say it was brilliant we didn’t book a table and when we walked in didn’t think we would get a table was very busy!! But the staff couldn’t do enough and soon had us sat down the meal was perfect hot very tasty and fresh will def go back when ever we return thanks blue china 🙏👍🏻

Was here for dinner with relatives on a Sunday evening. Not the most fancy atmosphere, but appeared cleanish. Food wise, so far this is one of the best in the city centre and I can't believe I've gone past it so many times without giving the place a thought, the entrance is so unassuming. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, you do need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the place. Would recommend the Tofu with Chinese Leaf & Glass Noodles (146), which they apparently use their own egg tofu. The sauce for the Mixed Vegetables with Malaysian Curry (224) was out-of-this-world, but I wasn't much of a fan with the vegetables used (my relatives liked them though). We did find the side portion of stir fried noodles far too salty, though this was the only downfall for the food. They did get one of our orders wrong (despite naming it and pointing it at the menu when ordering) and later claimed not to be in a position to correct it. Whatever arrived looked nice and a lot cheaper so we just let it go. Service was friendly, helpful, but a little clumsy.

We faccied some Chinese food after a day out in the city so we Googled for restaurants near our hotel and China Blue was one of the search results. Having read some of the reviews we decided to book a table, we opted for the pre-theatre menu as it looked like good value. On arrival it is just a doorway on the street and then stairs up into the restaurant. The restaurant is certainly not fancy so if you like a bit of luxury then it's probably not the place for you. We were welcomed and shown to our table, we ordered drinks and perused the menu. I asked if there were onions in a particular dish but was told I could have the dish exactly as I wanted and it wouldn't be a problem. The food was absolutely sensational, the quantity and quality of the chicken in my dish was just superb. The staff were excellent, friendly, welcoming and attentive. Many of the reviews we read said that this place is a hidden gem and that's exactly what it is. Quite probably the best Chinese food my wife and I have enjoyed and we will definitely make a point of returning some time in the future. Thanks for the experience.
