The cosmopolitan dining room space features monochromatic taupe and creme furnishings, low ceilings, plush dining chairs and modern lighting fixtures.
Jimmy Lee, Head Chef at Lychee Oriental, said: “We didn’t want to radically change the fabric of the restaurant or the spirit of Lychee’s dining experience. Instead, we wanted to enhance the lively atmosphere and energy that our space has become known for. Lychee Oriental has an amazing support network around us and we hope that all of our guests, both regulars and first-timers love our transformation.”
Blending traditional and contemporary Chinese culture, the 70-cover restaurant has also introduced some new dishes to a menu that combines traditional flavours with modern cooking techniques.
Favourites on the ‘A La Carte’ menu include ‘Chargrilled Chicken Satay Skewers’ and ‘Steamed Dim Sum’ for starters and ‘Hong Kong Sweet and Sour Prawn’ and ‘Traditional Chinese Chicken Curry’ for main. Specialities featured include ‘Monkfish Hotpot with Spicy XO sauce’, ‘Pulled Aromatic Duck’ and ‘Japanese Katsu Curry’.
Lychee Oriental is open from midday, Monday through to Sunday at 59 Mitchell Street, Glasgow. To make a reservation, visit here.
