Far East

Far East is a Chinese takeaway on Allison Street, the food-dense spine of Govanhill that runs parallel to Cathcart Road. Reviews describe light, fresh-tasting food in generous portions, with the prawn crackers picking up particular mention. The menu follows the Cantonese takeaway repertoire — fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour, curry sauces and noodle dishes — prepared fresh to order. Allison Street is one of Glasgow's most ethnically diverse eating streets, lined with Pakistani sweet shops, Indian grocers and halal butchers, and Far East has operated here as the Chinese option among them for many years.
