Zhima

Our group wanted to try an Asian restaurant so we went to Zhima. We had no reservation, but we’re able to get a table after a 10 minute wait in the bar area. The staff are very friendly and quite efficient. The decoration is quite beautiful, and you can tell that an extensive amount of money was spent in decorating this establishment. As for the food, we had the Har Gow dumplings, which were very good but a little on the small side. We also had a side order of ribs, which were delicious. For our main course, we had the beef with black bean sauce with a side bone of jasmine steamed rice. Unfortunately, this plate was the weakest of them all. The portion was extremely small and it was quite spicy and lacked actual black bean flavor. Overall value was OK. The portions were on the small side. As the menu is extensive and we obviously didn’t try everything I would say that besides the small portions, there’s a good chance the food would be good. Recommended.

This was absolutely gorgeous! The food was delicious, I had the prawn har gow and yantai seafood curry, my husband had the bang bang chicken and the xinjiang cumin lamb, with this we shared egg fried rice, prawn crackers and wok fried noodles.  Then to finish we got banana fritters to share! Everything was beautiful, so fragrant and the servings were big - we were so full!
The service was fantastic, we actually went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were offered complimentary drinks and to top it off we were seated in an area quite secluded which made our meal so intimate!

We'll definitely return!

Lurgy hit both us at end of November, so we rescheduled my birthday celebration to January.

Zhima is a Chinese Brasserie and Bar and I can thoroughly recommend it. Best Shanghai beef dish and may I say the best Chinese meal I’ve ever ate.

It was a shame that the old signature cocktail Cigar Vending Machine was no longer, however the IQ with Tin Cup Whiskey, Plum Sake, lemon and fig was a great replacement.

Service was outstanding and if you sign up free to being a member, you get 40% off food in January 👌

Had vouchers to use from Xmas here. Wish we hadn't waited so long to use them. Food was really nice and portion sizes were good value for money. Would definitely go back.

Wonderful in every way. Fantastic, flavoursome food,beautifully presented and served with great efficiency by the very friendly staff.
All 5 of us agree that every different dish was amazing. I myself had the char sui ribs and the seafood laksa curry both delicious.
Even an ordinary thing like a cup of tea was elevated by the mini kettle it was served in!🤩🤩

Right in the heart of Glasgow, Ristorante Pieno is a family run restaurant – and one to be very excited about.

Ristorante Pieno

Fabulous food. Great menu. Staff were friendly, helpful and very chatty. Found it just a bit noisy, but can appreciate it was a Sat at 5pm so the restaurant was full. Didn’t spoil our evening.

Yum! Coeliac friendly with loads of gluten free options. I had the spaghetti bolognese but with GF penne for main - was a generous portion and really yum. GF bruschetta for entree which was tasteful but the bread was a little soggy. Small thing though! Really enjoyed my meal here. Pre theatre menu was 2 courses for £20-25 or so

My colleagues and I discovered this establishment and were immediately struck by its vibrant and bustling atmosphere, which we interpreted as a positive indicator. The external ambiance alone was sufficiently compelling to attract us, leading us to infer that a venue with such occupancy must be operating effectively. Driven by curiosity and anticipation, we resolved to experience it firsthand, and it indeed proved to be a memorable occasion from its inception. The cuisine was unequivocally exquisite, characterized by dishes replete with profound, authentic flavors, and the service was equally commendable, demonstrating attentiveness, cordiality, and professionalism throughout our patronage.

Fantastic menu with very fair prices. I had a Tapas selection and my friend did the lunch special. We each had a cocktail and my Pornstar Martini was among the best I've ever had! The lasagna was creamy and flavorful but the real star was the bruschetta. I highly recommend stopping in during your next visit to Glasgow.

Loved this place! Super cozy vibe, really friendly staff, and the food was spot on. Portions were generous, everything tasted properly Italian, and it felt like a truly authentic Italian meal. The seafood was super fresh too. Staff were lovely and super attentive — and honestly, all great at taking photos! Had my birthday here and they even sang for me, which was such a nice touch. One of the best Italian spots in Glasgow for sure. Honestly feels Michelin-level. Would definitely come back! Highly recommended! 👍

Lovely staff here and they provide a service with a smile. There was a bit of a queue when I came in but they got through them so fast and efficient! Amazing for a quick bite with amazing staff!

Amazing burritos and Nachos!! I'm so surprised there were amazing vegetarian options for me! Chris and Aidan are awesome at their jobs and they executed the order to perfection!! I'll frequent this place again ♥️♥️

Probably the friendliest BarBurrito I've been in - staff very welcoming and helpful. Quick service and the food is fresh and super filling. Will definitely be back!

Although the food was really good, we were disappointed with our delivery.
Burritos were only marked as "1" and "2" making it really hard to understand which one was meaty and veggie.
Fake meat mixed together with rice beans sauce etc isn't as straightforward and also we shouldn't need to bite into each other food to find out which was which.
Just a V on the veggie would have been enough or since it's already being marked it should be a bit more clear.

I’m so glad the queen street store is still open. I love bar burrito! I quite often get a man who is so friendly serving me. I think his name is Paul but he makes it a great atmosphere.
