Was here for dinner with relatives on a Sunday evening. Not the most fancy atmosphere, but appeared cleanish. Food wise, so far this is one of the best in the city centre and I can't believe I've gone past it so many times without giving the place a thought, the entrance is so unassuming.
The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, you do need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the place.
Would recommend the Tofu with Chinese Leaf & Glass Noodles (146), which they apparently use their own egg tofu. The sauce for the Mixed Vegetables with Malaysian Curry (224) was out-of-this-world, but I wasn't much of a fan with the vegetables used (my relatives liked them though). We did find the side portion of stir fried noodles far too salty, though this was the only downfall for the food.
They did get one of our orders wrong (despite naming it and pointing it at the menu when ordering) and later claimed not to be in a position to correct it. Whatever arrived looked nice and a lot cheaper so we just let it go.
Service was friendly, helpful, but a little clumsy.

This is a superb chinese cuisine dining experience.From the moment you arrive,you are ushered to your table by attentive, friendly staff.The menu is huge with many authentic ethnic dishes .There is a huge seafood choice but there is something for everyone. We just had to have the obligatory Prawn crackers, warm and crispy as they should be.The perfect starter for the tastebuds.Tonight, we had the works. Fish, chicken, beef, vegetables, fried and boiled rice.Every dish was perfection.Please see photographs. At 96 Renfield St, China Blue is easy to pass by as there is just a single door on the street but a short ,unchallenging walk upstairs takes you to a huge restaurant space , the decor of which is exactly what a chinese restaurant should be. It is comfortable,classy and welcoming.Dining here will be a guaranteed rewarding experience perfect for any special occasion.
Friendly staff. Setting is ok. Food could be better, starter was quite scabby lots of onions & barely any chicken. Beef dish I felt the meat could have been cooked longer.
This place is amazing we have been so many times with our family and just as a couple staff so friendly and nothing is a bother had a great meal for 2 last nite would defo recommend this place a hidden gem some staff been the same for years so that is also a good.
In for a spot of lunch, why did I not know this placed existed before?? Better value than China Sea. Less busy and not as rushed. Fairly priced. Recommend the salt n chilli spring rolls and breast of chicken curry. Servers very attentive. Will definitely visit again.
What a wonderful restaurant. Excellent food, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Music was easy listening Jazz and non intrusive. I had the spicy pork with boiled rice and my partner had the pork noodle soup. Safe to say we will definitely return as there was so many things on the menu we both wanted to try.
The staff were so helpful in making my choice of food. It was delicious and I would certainly recommend coming here. Authentic food well cooked and presented. Fabulous staff. Don’t change a thing it’s perfect.

China Blue is now my favourite Chinese restaurant in Glasgow. I've been twice this week. I was there last night. They have a 2 course lunch menu and pre-theatre menu. The pre-theatre menu is £14.99 for 2 courses. Sadly, they didn't have a vegan option listed on it, so I went for the a la carte menu.
I think I the menu is a bit odd if you're not sharing. For example, they offer a bowl of choi sum or kale or aubergine etc for around £14. There is no option to have a mix of vegetables. I wouldn't fancy a whole bowl of just one veg. I therefore opted for vegetable chow mein which is a mix of veg such as pak choi and was lovely. I also opted to have an extra portion of noodles because I'm greedy. I'd love it if I could just order the noodles with eg garlic mushrooms and a bit of choi sum, but sadly that's not possible. I'd rather have more mushrooms in the chow mein.
The chips were over cooked and mostly inedible this time, but it didn't matter as I was too stuffed from all the noodles.
My companion had chicken fried rice which she was delighted with. She also ordered steamed dumplings and was surprised when these arrived that they had been deep fried. She said they were delicious though.
The service in China Blue is amazing. At least 4 people waited on our table. They cannot do enough for you. They table was covered with paper table covers which I was glad of when I spilled food all over it. The napkins are linen. The heating was on and it was cosy.
Again we were the only white customers. The other diners were all Chinese. Malaysian people also often eat here and there is also a lot of Thai food on the menu.
The toilets are up 2 flights if stairs and are a bit run down, but smelled lovely and were very clean.
Great food and amazing service. I'll definitely be back.

We faccied some Chinese food after a day out in the city so we Googled for restaurants near our hotel and China Blue was one of the search results. Having read some of the reviews we decided to book a table, we opted for the pre-theatre menu as it looked like good value. On arrival it is just a doorway on the street and then stairs up into the restaurant. The restaurant is certainly not fancy so if you like a bit of luxury then it's probably not the place for you. We were welcomed and shown to our table, we ordered drinks and perused the menu. I asked if there were onions in a particular dish but was told I could have the dish exactly as I wanted and it wouldn't be a problem. The food was absolutely sensational, the quantity and quality of the chicken in my dish was just superb. The staff were excellent, friendly, welcoming and attentive. Many of the reviews we read said that this place is a hidden gem and that's exactly what it is. Quite probably the best Chinese food my wife and I have enjoyed and we will definitely make a point of returning some time in the future. Thanks for the experience.
Working in Glasgow we visited blue china and I can honestly say it was brilliant we didn’t book a table and when we walked in didn’t think we would get a table was very busy!! But the staff couldn’t do enough and soon had us sat down the meal was perfect hot very tasty and fresh will def go back when ever we return thanks blue china 🙏👍🏻
Amazing experience, very authentic Cantonese food! 😊 we ordered roast duck, lamb curry and their homemade tofu, all of them are so tasty, def one of the best Chinese restaurant in Glasgow, super friendly staff, nice interior design, will definitely come back soon!
Excellent food and great service. Average prices. Crispy duck was superb as was the shredded chicken. Staff were attentive and very knowledgeable.
What lovely people and what delicious food! The waitress went to great pains to persuade me not to order lamb on the bone with dry tofu, as they'd had problems previously with non-Chinese customers finding it too fatty & bony and sending it back.
She took a bit of convincing, but I eventually persuaded her that I'd be alright. Glad I won - it was an unctuous, savoury delight, albeit too much for me at one sitting. So I've got half of it sitting in a takeaway tub in my fridge for later.
There are a lot of interesting dishes to have a go at - I'll definitely be back.
Had a lovely lunch with my sister , food was pretty good and decent size portions . Didn't have any cranberry juice ( my fav ) and a bottle of water was 3 quid , charges may reflect it's located in the city centre we would definitely go back
Chinese New Year dinner like no others
As Chinese New Year approaches, we eagerly anticipated a memorable reunion dinner at China Blue as we had a magical reunion dinner here last year. The restaurant did not disappoint, delivering an exceptional Chinese New Year feast that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Best Chinese food I've had for a long time. If the locals eat there it must be good. A big thumbs up. Will be back.
China blue offers some of the best Chinese cuisine you could find in Merchant City. It has a warm and cozy atmosphere, which led us to visit the restaurant regularly after our frisbee session. My personal favourite is the silver needle noodles or LauShuFen in Mandarin, a rather traditional dish which I would assume is the only restaurant that would serve it in Glasgow. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for some authentic Chinese cuisine in Glasgow city centre.
