    The lemon tree has gone downhill in recent years both in terms of food and the service. To the owners. If you are going to promote your take away as one that offers gluten free at least have an area of the menu where I can see gluten free options. On a side note, the dude behind the counter who takes the orders needs to take a customer service course.

    By far the best Chinese takeaway in Glasgow! This place has been a favourite for many years now and no other Chinese takeaway comes close. The fried rice is on point 👌🏻 Definitely worth the try if you are ever craving Chinese!

    Chips were brilliant, as were the salt & pepper wings, as was the Honey Shredded Chicken, as was the S&C chicken balls. The starters platter is great. Only thing I didn’t enjoy was the chicken satay. Massive portions - 1 portion of chips is easily enough for 2-3 people. Only problem was delivery time. Scheduled our order well in advance and they were still 20 minutes late.

    Terrible Food Got Tofu / Beancurd Kung Po...it was really more like out of the jar sweet and sour sauce - not pleasant at all!!! Salt and chilli beanbcud was tough as old boots. Spring rolls were of the frozen variety, not homemade. King Prawn dish was not great...couldn't finish it. Will not be back following this poor first experience.

    Nom Nom. Crispy chilli shredded duck was gorgeous. Don't know why everyone is complaining about the customer service. The guy was lovely. I got a big smile upon collecting my order. Never had a "less than" experience here.

    Should have read the reviews. Just Eat order showed 30 mins but straight after confirming it changed to 1 hour plus. After 90 mins called and told it was on its way (app did not show this). Called again 15 mins later as I am 5 mins away and told it was out for delivery which still contradicted app. Gave up after 2 hours and went to bed at midnight. Never received food but fully charged. I’ll not be buying here again.

    It wasn't too bad, I'd say it was good value for money. I got the crispy shredded chilli chicken which was not bad, would have liked the chicken to be more crispy but it wasn't too bad. Salt & Chilli chips pretty standard was good.

  • 2/5 Joe S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very small portion. Chicken was cooked but not well done, chicken satay skewer still had a pink discoloration. Food was floating in oil, extremely greasy. Delivery was 1hr30mins later than it showed on Uber Eats. If I hadn't got a discount, I would probably give it 1 star.

  • 2/5 Graeme N. 8 months ago on Google
    Staff not very friendly. Prices are quite high. Personally, not a huge fan of the food- the chicken satay skewers had an odd gelatinous texture. Salt and Chili chips were good though.

  • 2/5 Atropos 1. 1 year ago on Google
    Very rude man behind the counter, also seemed completely in an other world. From what I've heard though the food is very good tbh. Just stingy with the free crackers.

  • 3/5 Jack E. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food but very long delivery time (2.5 hours) so bear in mind if hungry.

  • 4/5 Jonas S. 1 year ago on Google
    Would give 3.5. While the food tastes decent, delivery took 50mis after i was told it was on the way. Like i said earlier food tastes good and the fried rice is amazing, however im not sure if i got what i acctually ordered. Ordered some crispy chilly chicken and some crispy chilly beef but feel like i got them both in a pekimg sauce.other than the delivery and posibble order mix up, its not too bad

    Really unfortunate how poor delivery is because the one good experience I had the food was really good and I find it hard to find good Chinese takeaway. Over 2 hour wait for food and spent an hour on Uber Eats just trying to have them cancel the order and refund me as I wouldn’t be getting my order. When I phoned and asked for an update he said “you’re the next one” and when I asked how long that was they said another 30 min at least. So either you haven’t started cooking it, or it’s sitting there getting cold for 30 min. Won’t be ordering from them again sadly.

    Been ordering from here for 15 years and never had any issues, quality, fresh and cleanness is always very good. Big portions, highly recommend the crispy chilli beef and sweet and sour chicken, the manager is a very kind fellow too.

    I’ve used the lemon tree for years. As other people say, the food is good and the best curry sauce however the guy is just the rudest most ignorant man I’ve come across. Two hours wait for a delivery from just eat. Seriously questioning whether we’ll use them again.

    So got a takeaway couple weeks ago and Ordered a couple cans which were forgot, phoned them and they told us to put a note on our next order so we did, cans weren’t there the second time so phoned again, they said they would send them out, they did, but they have actually stabbed one of the cans and put it in the bag, delivery driver was so apologetic said it must of happened during delivery, but there’s not a rip in the bag anywhere so obviously happened before the bag was tied in the shop. Absolutely ridiculous behaviour

    Frequently used on work break. Open right to last moment and food is ready within 10 minutes everytime. Most of us get snack type dishes (chips, fried rice and curry sauce for example), which are all good with generous portions, hot and well cooked. Had full menu items on occasion which have all been good also.

    Love the food…hot and delicious Better yet it’s halal which is great! Will definitely come back

    Ordered the Special Foo Yung... It took 15 mins longer than the stated collection time but it was worth the wait...👍 👍 Felt for the lady at the front of the house, place was v busy, she could've done with some help....

  • 1/5 Dina C. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service. Still no food even though it says delivered enjoy your food 😡

  • 5/5 041M 2 years ago on Google
    Very impressed by the speed and quality - A fairly sizeable takeaway order was ready within 10 minutes and that too during a busy time before iftar. Would highly recommend the vegetable chow mein - has a very subtle smoky taste with a kick from the green chilli garnish. Satay was cooked to perfection and had great consistency.
