This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

At the fringes of the city centre, Ho Wong is a legendary Glasgow establishment. Its immaculately presented dining room is positioned beyond the bar area but feels miles away from the busy thoroughfares nearby. The restaurant is relaxed and filled with friendly chatter while service is flawless and staff attend to your needs almost before you know what they are. Classic dishes are lovingly served, like crispy duck, expertly shredded at the table, ready to be rolled in paper thin pancakes. Starters strike the perfect balance between crispy exteriors and succulent flesh, whether it is generously filled prawn toast or juicy ribs. And across the menu, meat is top quality and deftly cooked. A sizzling dish of chicken and beef in tangy capital sauce is alarmingly hot when it arrives – with meat that is firm but moist. Steamed king prawns in a delicate garlic sauce create a fresh, light alternative. The four-course set menus are popular with customers and perfectly paced, leaving a lingering sense of luxury as you sip a Chinese tea.

3. Hbomb45 – 27 Jan 2012, 6:51pm Report: I nearly booked but the fact it sells Shark Fin Soup did stop me.

2. emma890 – 13 Apr 2011, 9:41pm Report: How can anything good be written about this restaurant? IT SELLS SHARK FIN SOUP!! It is unethical and damaging to a vital marine species and numerous ecosystems! Has humanity lost its moral compass?

1. elaineb – 8 Feb 2010, 7:41pm Ho Wong Report: Fantastic food, attentive service, and lovely surroundings. Have never been let down by the food, seems to get better every time.
