Loon Fung
Glasgow, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Loon Fung opened on Sauchiehall Street in 1971 and has been the Cantonese room Glasgow's Chinese community eats in ever since. The kitchen keeps two menus running side by side: hand-made dim sum through the day and a seafood-led carte in the evening, lobster included, cooked the way Cantonese cooking is supposed to be rather than adapted for a British palate. A recent refit modernised the room without touching the substance of it. There is one address and no second branch, which for a restaurant this long-established says something about how it has been run. Tourists rarely find it; three generations of Glasgow families know exactly where it is.
