Best KPortal Reviews
One of the best Cantonese restaurant ever tried in Europe. They make original Cantonese delicacies such as dim sum and claypot specialties.
We were only 2 people but we tried a lot of dishes and we spent around 55 pounds (beverage included) which is very cheap compared to other places that make similar cuisine.
Really recommended!
It’s my fourth time to be here. I can say that Canton lane does the best and high quality Cantonese food in Glasgow. I really recommend Roast duck and “肠粉”, both signature Chinese dishes. The staffs are friendly. I really recommend. All five star.
Hurrah - finally a great place to have delicious and authentic dim sum in Glasgow! I’ve been twice in one week and this is honestly some of the best dim sum I’ve ever had and I’m half Chinese - fresh ingredients, cooked well and so affordable. Definitely come here if you are looking for authentic Chinese dim sum, you won’t find your usual western-orientated dishes on the menu. Their drinks are also delicious and freshly made with real fruit. Staff are friendly, helpful and the atmosphere is really relaxed. Thank you Canton Lane!
I'm from Guangdong and the food served at Canton Lane reminds me of the taste of my hometown. The Chinese name of the restaurant means good things will come to you, and it is one of my favorite restaurants. Very authentic Cantonese food, it tastes the same as the restaurant downstairs in my Chinese home! I eat there almost every day. Claypot rice and CHUENG FUN are highly recommended. The milk tea with bear ice cubes is also very cute! dimsum can feel that it is made by the chef himself, and hopes that more Scottish friends will come to taste the Chinese taste!
After saw this place on Google Maps I came here here for dinner.
They do Cantonese cuisine and there are a lot of dishes to choose such as dim sum or delicacies cooked and served in claypots.
I really recommend the cha siu rice rolls and the roasted duck, both dishes were so delicious and the duck was very succulent.
Definitely must come back to try other food options
So it began, an experience that myself and my partner had been much looking forward to. Every time we passed this establishment we looked at each other in excitement saying "one day".
Such a day finally fell on a seemingly innocent Monday afternoon, however there turned out to be a grave difference between expectation and reality.
What so many times seemed like a place we'd call a new favourite of ours, turned into a place we only endured up until the first course.
To start, the waitress showed not only disinterest in us, but a certain resentment to our presence. We did not speak of the fact we were the only non-asian customers in the restaurant (towards which she smiled and conversed with) or indeed speak of what their menu advertised as what are illegal alcohol measurements under Scottish law. We instead, chose to wish away any worries regarding main courses costing an average of £15 a portion and continued in our efforts to make the experience what we wanted it to be.
I asked where the bathroom was, without verbal reply and only a finger I was pointed in the right direction. We ordered water three times (one requiring me to go to the bar) and found the waitress (serving only two other tables) finding time to chat to a friend who walked in before providing us with our order.
We ordered spring rolls as a starter and two clay pots for our mains. The 8 spring rolls (at £5.80) were fine, not exceptional, and were laid upon a bed of shredded lettuce that was at least three days old. It was akin to the dregs at the bottom of an all you can eat salad bar at a pizza hut, soggy and discoloured.
When the water finally arrived, alongside more dismissive and genuinely (I don't use this word without meaning it) rude behaviour of our server, the carafe was greasy and the glassware had bits of food on them.
This, for my partner who works in hospitality, was the final straw. He made the reasonable point that we were not made welcome, and that a business charging £15 per main course which doesn't provide clean glassware isn't deserving of anyone's hard earned money.
He proceeded to speak to the waitress and politely asked her to inform the kitchen that our main courses weren't wanted, and that we would be leaving for all the reasons described above. There was no arguing or shouting, only a confused look on the servers face.
While collecting our things to leave she came to our table and said "so you aren't going to pay?" To which my partner replied "no, we feel most unwelcome here."
Can I say on record, we don't leave reviews like this normally, but we felt we had to on this occasion regarding the many faults this restaurant seems to have in terms of it's experience.
We couldn't have been more enthusiastic about our experience of Canton Lane when walking in, and we walked out in a daze wondering why we were made to feel so unwelcome and why things went so wrong.
I hope the people in charge of this establishment see this review as what it is, not a hateful reaction of an emotional sort, but of constructive criticism that they can use to make their business a better place.
From us, we can only advise you guys AVIOID, as the prices are too high for such an unprofessional experience. You are better spending your money in the many other Asian restaurants frequent in partick, for the simple reason that you be made to feel welcome.
This restaurant offer very unit dim sum, all hand made. It makes me feel like being in China. Will come back to try more and introduce to my HK friends!
Nice new place in Partick. Unfortunately the star dish, the clay pot rice, was simply not good. It seemed that they cooked the rice and the meats separately, instead of cooking them together so the rice is infused with the proper flavour.
The dim sum was quite good, but a bit too expensive.
Worth visiting if you're in the area, but I won't be going back.
