Ho Wong head chef moves to Lychee Oriental after iconic eatery's shock closure

Glasgow was left devastated last month after we revealed iconic city centre restaurant Ho Wong had announced its shock closure.

The York Street eatery was considered an institution by hundreds of Glaswegians, renowned for its banquet menu and unfussy decor.

However, Ho Wong was sadly forced to close its doors after 33 years - serving delicious food for the very last time on June 29 - due to a multi-million pound office block being built at the site.

Yet, today we have some good news for all Ho Wong customers. That's because Ho Wong head chef Gordon Len has been welcomed onto the executive team at Lychee Oriental.

The Mitchell Lane restaurant today announced: "Two of Glasgow's most popular Chinese chefs have joined forces – and it’s a pairing both hope will lead to an enhanced dining experiences for customers at Lychee Oriental."

Chef Jimmy Lee added: “It’s a great opportunity for us. Gordon brings more than 10 years of rich experience in Chinese cooking to my team and I am delighted that he has chosen to work with us. His excellence in the Glasgow food industry will further facilitate our restaurants efforts towards first class asian cuisine to our customers and consequently enriching Lychee's guest experience."
