Dragon-i

R. Miller (8 January 2006)

Following searching the web for some eating places to visit during our new year visit to Glasgow, I came across Dragon I, we booked for 8.30 on the Friday, I was surprised to find it quiet, although I suppose not everyone is dining out at New Year. The restaurant is well placed in the city centre just a stone’s throw off Sauchihall Street. We were met by the manager Susan Ho. although the menu choice is quite compact, it was full of very exciting and tempting dishes that I'd never heard of before especially in you normal Chinese restaurant, and we were soon to experience that this was not a normal Chinese restaurant.

Susan describes it as Creative Contemporary Cuisine, my partner started with Tiger Prawns with an orange and pineapple sauce and I had chicken stuffed with mango and cheese with salad and mango sauce, both starters were beautiful. Our mains were monkfish and a chilli sauce and sliced fillets of beef with a chilli sauce, and garlic flavoured rice, all washed down with a bottle of 14% house wine and a large bottle of water. We were both delighted with our meals and the bill came to £85, money well spent in our mind, just about as good as I've eaten in this type of cuisine. We will certainly be back next time we're in town, I can thoroughly recommend it, a great dining experience, with superb service, as I said it wasn't busy at all during our visit so I couldn't comment on how things might be if there was a full house.
