Outstanding. My general rule is if I do not understand the menu items, I do not eat at the restaurant. This place is one of the few exceptions. It was chosen by my friend at the recommendation of a local. The menu is unique and contains many flavor profiles and items that I have never experienced. We trusted the chef and went with the sharing menu. The chef is a real artist who put together robust flavors of seemingly strange or unknown ingredients that really complemented each other. Dont overthink it. Have a little faith and try these unique creations. This is New York, LA, Vegas, Paris quality food in Glasgow. Plenty of food and reasonably priced.

So glad to have come across this restaurant! I love the concept; which is to a order small selection to share (great if you’re not feeling too hungry and if you want to sample multiple dishes). Definitely recommend the fried chicken, which was so crispy outside and juicy inside, the curries were spot on and deserts were amazing. The staff was great at explaining everything and was very quick to serve us. Definitely would love to come back here again to sample out other items on the menu! 🥰

Omg the food is amazing! I can be a bit nervous about trying new foods but virtually every dish (my group basically passed around every dish we ordered so we could all try it) was amazing! The oyster mushrooms in particular were delicious. The staff were so lovely and patient. The entire setup of the restaurant is so pretty. My one complaint would be that I hated paying £4 for a glass bottle of coca-cola 🤣 but honestly everything was so lovely. I'll definitely be back.

So many dishes too choose from & reasonably priced. I went with my brother and we shared 3 dishes each, which is the optimal amount. Service was very kind & attentive to our table.

Absolutely stunning experience. The staff were so friendly and happy to assist with recommendations. There were plenty of vegetarian/ vegan options and they were as good if not better than the meat and fish alternatives. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and the flavours were exceptional. Will definitely be back for the oyster mushrooms again!!

"Ventured into the heart of Glasgow's West End to discover Ka Pao, and it's safe to say, this place left an impression! Nestled in a prime location, it boasts a spacious interior with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff here are aces – speedy and ever-helpful, they make you feel right at home. And let's talk cocktails – they don't disappoint! Now, onto the grub. For a starter, I tried the salt and Szechuan pepper oyster mushrooms with pickled mooli (vg). It was an explosion of flavors! The mushrooms were perfectly crispy on the outside, tender inside, and that soy lime sauce? A symphony of tastes in every bite. I wondered if the main course could match up, and I went for the hispi cabbage with cashew nut butter and sriracha. The butter was a delight, melting into the cabbage, but the sriracha had a bit too much swagger, making the dish a tad on the salty side. For dessert, I wrapped up with the coconut pandan and mango calamansi. It was a tropical paradise on a plate! Nutty flavors danced with the freshness of mango, and it was an absolute delight. With an experience like this, there's no doubt – I'll be back for more!

Loved this restaurant. Not ideal location for car parking but in a busy part of the west end so that’s to be expected. The venue is clean, the staff are friendly, and the food is delicious. I was thrilled with the corn dogs but honestly everything is worth a try. I was so pleased to find this restaurant, I’ve booked for 15 of my family members so we can all enjoy together. Looking forward to the full sharing experience and will report back after the event (my 60th).

Believe the hype. This place is excellent 😃 The fusion menu here really works, one of my favourite dishes was the cured fish with nam Jim and peach - mm-mmm! So flavoursome yet delicate. Everything we tried was amazing - the corn ribs with coconut, and padron peppers, the curries! The lighting in the pictures isn't great but I can tell you everything tasted fantastic. The menu can be a bit confusing to work out, but basically the section the curries are in are more like main course size than the other bits, so if you're on a budget or not that hungry I'd just get a curry and a portion of rice and that would fit the spot. Defo would come here again 😀🙌
