Chef Jimmy Lee’s Lychee Oriental, Glasgow’s modern Cantonese restaurant, opened its second location in the city this week when it launched in the Southside, taking over the site of the former Salt & Chilli street food brand on Kilmarnock Road.
With a successful Lychee Oriental in Glasgow City Centre since 2015, the new 55 cover venue in Shawlands is split over two levels and aims to take diners on a journey through modern Asian cuisine, “blending traditional flavours with innovative Cantonese culinary techniques.”
Lychee Oriental Chef Patron Jimmy Lee said, “Lychee Oriental is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of the diverse cultures and flavours that inspire me.
“I want to create a dining experience that brings people together and allows them to explore a range of tastes in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
“With the opening of our second Glasgow location in Shawlands, Lychee Oriental continues to grow in my home city.”
Lychee Oriental’s menu includes favourites such as Chicken Satay, Pulled Aromatic Duck, Thai Style Sweet ‘n’ Chilli Tiger Prawns and Crispy Monkfish and their a la carte sit-in menu is full of house specialities – including Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes.
