“ Second time ordering and both times it’s been sensational. Food always arrived quickly and was roasting hot. The salt and chilli box comes with a good amount of chicken and loads of chips. Got the sriracha mayo and that goes perfectly with the chips and chicken. Tried the Katsu curry with jasmine rice tonight and was really impressed. The curry sauce tub has little chunks of carrot and other veg through it which makes it taste even better, the katsu chicken was lovely and crispy and there was loads of jasmine rice. Overall a really good portion size, tastes amazing, a little bit on the expensive side but if you can get an offer on apps like Uber etc then it’s 100% worth ordering. ”

“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a wonderful experience here! Even without a booking, we were immediately offered a table and served very quickly.

“ I enjoyed what we had here for dinner. The place is immaculate and the service was prompt. A condensed but decent menu. The only issue I had is that the food came about 5 minutes after we ordered, and there are no desserts available, so we were basically finished dinner within about 30 minutes of arriving - it was over really quickly. We ordered the honey chilli chicken and the General Tso chicken. They were good. Not amazing, didn’t blow my mind, but good enough. There are loads of good Chinese options in Glasgow - I’m not sure this is one I would revisit. ”

“ Great experience and delicious Chinese food! It's a small menu but curated with great options and classics. We shared a starter with chicken satay, the perfect start. The I had an amazing duck bao packed with tasty duck meat, the bun was nice and fluffy, loved it! The fries are skinny and crispy, very tasty. Salt and chilli chicken was also great. There are a few cocktails on the menu, i definitely recommend the Lychee Daiquiri!! Lovely restaurant and team, i can see us going back here for more Cantonese scran when in Shawlands. ”

Food came out really quick and was well presented. Great portion sizes for the 2 course menu and tasted amazing. Will be going back again soon. ”

“ Salt and Chilli in Shawlands has quickly become one of my favorite spots. Their salt and chilli chicken and chicken katsu are both amazing, not to mention the delightful lychee Cosmo. The place has a great vibe with a lovely atmosphere, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended! ”
