what the critics say

Sunday, March 07, 2010 - Char sui buns, while hardly exemplary, were soft and light, and the sticky, sweet, porky filling did the job. Strands of squid, though showing that rubberiness that comes with a pause in the deep freeze, had at least been greaselessly deep-fried. I loved the seafood in a scallop and prawn dumpling, which had a pleasing bite, but the sticky rice-flour casing was far too thick and gelatinous...It might well be possible to get a glamorous meal here. Ours just hadn't been it.

Average....no better or worse...dim sum in what is quite an authentic Hong Kong environment. The service is ok...not great, but perfectly fine. As an overall experience, there's nothing wrong with this place.....and it's as close as you'll get to eating dim sum in Hong Kong........but there are better places in town as far as the food is concerned.

New Hong Kong and Fu's immediately spring to mind as places with substantially better food.....though perhaps not as much atmosphere. 'Guess it depends what you're after.

Just been to glamorous and as usual the food was excellent. The only disappointment is that we were, I feel ripped off. The Christmas banquet menu two people seemed good value at £27.50. I was stunned when that got doubled to £55 charging £27.50 each. Also I hate the 10% thing being added into the total. It is after all discressionary and rather presumptious I feel thouroughly stung.

I agree with the too much MSG thing, otherwise the food is very Hong Kong I am Hong Kong so I know. Service is not bad either. It has a lot of Hong Kong dishes not offered by other westernised chinese Restaurant. Parking is free and you have a great supermarket below what more can one ask for ?

I disagree with the harsh reviews. If you have been to Hong Kong you would understand that Glamorous serves genuine and authentic chinese food. The standard match those of hong kong. The portions are of a decent size, food always fresh and the amount of chinese customers there speaks for itself. I would highly recommend this restaurant, every visit is a pleasure and the staff are alway friendly and happy to help.

We took a party of 5 there on Saturday 15/5. The food was OK, but the service was appalling. I've never seen such a surly bunch of staff like this lot, food was slammed on the table, no-one checked the meal, no-one offered any dessert choices. No-one even smiled.

There are plenty of fine Chinese restaurants - we'll use them in future
