A NEW "modern" Cantonese-inspired restaurant has opened its doors near Glasgow.

Shanghai Oriental, which is located on Union Street in Larkhall, has officially opened its doors to customers today (Friday, October 13).

The new eatery is offering authentic Chinese food "straight" from Shanghai, while its extensive menu has been created in collaboration with Asian-Scots celebrity chef and TikTok star, Jimmy Lee.

The Scots celeb, who is a regular chef on ITV’s This Morning and owner of Glasgow’s multi-award-winning Lychee Oriental has spent several months training the new restaurant's kitchen staff.

Chef Jimmy Lee said: “I’ve been a chef for over 20 years, and it’s been an honour to mentor the Shanghai Oriental kitchen team as they open their doors in Larkhall.

“The restaurant’s cuisine features Chinese and Southeast Asian meals, with organic products used whenever possible.

“In addition, the crew here strives to combine the best in hygiene, food sourcing, culinary skills, and service.”
