Loved the food, loved the wine. From Glasgow originally but not lived there in many years so lost touch with where to go for a nice meal. Mate took me here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Went for the Dim Sum with a nice Austrian white wine. Will definitely go back and take he family next time.

Great atmosphere, every seat was full. Very friendly staff and quick service had chicken satay which was 1 of the best I've tasted. Great start to a great night out. Recommended !

This is a superb Chinese experience with exellently presented cuisine to a modern and high standard. I can't fault the food, presentation or service. Atmosphere for a Monday night was bubbly. Fully recommended.

Well given the other reviews on trip advisor regarding this restauarant- it is really hard to believe how bad our meal was here.

This was our first visit to Opium on a trip to Glasgow. As we were going to a concert we went early - around 5.30, so had no problem getting a table. The restaurant was smaller than I expected and modern in style.They do a pre-theatre menu but we decided to have several dim sum dishes instead. All the food... More

This small storefront on Hope Street houses a chic Asian restaurant, close to the Central Station. We had two Thai dishes, chili beef (very hot) and green chili (normal hot), and both were good. Two servers ran around doing everything for a packed house of 30 diners, but they did a reasonable job. Worth a try if you enjoy Asian... More

Both myself and my boss spend a lot of time in Glasgow on business. We wanted to try a different restaurant, so we went on a wander to find a place that neither of us had ever eaten at. We weren't allowed to consult reviews or anything like that. We stumbled upon Opium and the menu enticed me in straight... More
