Lychee Oriental is a Chinese restaurant in a refurbished listed building on Mitchell Street in Glasgow city centre. Led by chef Jimmy Lee, it combines a polished dining room with lunch, à la carte and takeaway menus. The restaurant is open every day and accepts table bookings as well as advance takeaway orders.
Stocks and sauces are made in house, while fresh meat, seafood and vegetables are sourced through local suppliers. Chinese dishes form the foundation, with dim sum, ribs, duck, clay pots, stir fries and sweet, sour, chilli and black bean sauces appearing across the menu. Thai curries and Japanese influenced dishes extend the selection without replacing that Chinese core.
Seafood receives particular attention through scallops, prawns, sea bass, monkfish and mixed seafood preparations. Tofu, mushrooms and seasonal vegetables create substantial meat free alternatives, and a dedicated gluten free menu provides unusually broad choice. Guests with allergies should still confirm individual ingredients and kitchen handling with the team.
Cocktails and wine suit the restaurant’s more refined evening style, while banquet and set menus help groups sample several courses. Collection and delivery offer a simpler way to use the same kitchen. Lychee Oriental balances familiar favourite dishes with careful presentation and the depth that comes from sauces and stocks prepared from scratch.
