    I don't like leaving negative reviews but this one has really taken the cake. This place is an absolute joke. My order took over an hour to arrive at my door. The chicken in batter just disappeared?! The braised flank of tasteless. The noodles were mushy. The sauce containers were all spilled and covered the inside of the bags. To top it off it costed £2 for ONE lamb Skewer, ONE! Which came back cold! I have been trying to call the restaurant for a formal complaint but the phone keeps ringing and they havent picked up in the last 40 minutes. I am so disappointed. The complete lack of care and respect for their food and customer.

    Got the beef noodle soup and it wasn't bad. Super filling (couldn't finish) with lots of beef and noodles. Staff isn't super friendly and cash only is a pain. Not nearly as bad as some reviewers are saying but it's not my favorite Chinese joint either.

    Best Chinese hotpot and Korean BBQ I've ever been to in the UK. All you can eat buffet in Sichuan style hotpot (火锅). Everything written in English and Chinese - staff extremely helpful. Right door for for hotpot/BBQ and left door for traditional Chinese restaurant.

    Order a delivery as I was feeling unwell and my daughter had just came home from a hard day at work and tired, food arrived and it was honestly the most bland Chinese ever! I had special fried rice which had no taste whatsoever, salt and chilli chips for my daughter which were not very tasty and very soggy! I had to stand and make my own curry sauce for the dry tasteless rice dish even though I paid just over £22 for the food and was feeling unwell. Please guys avoid wasting your hard earned cash in this place. I will never order from here again!

    Great place to get some Chinese food. Prices are slightly higher for a few items otherwise it’s pretty reasonable. Taste is the most important thing and to me it’s authentic: people won’t be disappointed with the flavor. Portions are huge also.

    We ordered Ma Po Tofu which was too salty and tofu was not fresh because it tasted sour. We also decided to try some BBQ skewers which was alright except the lamb meat was under cooked and pink on the inside and I didn’t want to get food poisoned so didn’t finish it. I would not recommend visiting this place until they are able to improve the quality of the food.

    I think it's better than the average level of Chinese restaurant I have tried in Glasgow before. The grilled scallop is my favorite cuisine here, and for main dishes, I think Kung Pao Chicken is worth to be recommended.

    This is a tiny restaurant that is as chinese as it gets. Delicious dishes for chinese tastes. There are also slightly westernised tasty dishes. A hidden secret for insider.

    Leaving my review because there are quite a few negative ones and that hasn’t been my experience at all. We sit in quite regularly and food has always been top notch and come out quickly which is nice. Varied menu with more than just your usual salt and chilli and curry sauce. I recommend the mao style braised pork belly and the yuhong aubergine.

    Love the food from here, although have only tried the sweet and sour. Have eaten in and sometimes get a delivery. It is always fresh, light and tasty.

    Hair in food, chips not fresh, very dry and hard. Very small portions and prices high. Avoid this place!

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
