Never Disappoints

This was my second trip to Honu and honestly it only ever gets better. We ordered the special duck gyoza for starters with were a solid 25/10 and we kept the dip for our main event because it was so amazing. Jalapeño Thai prawn crackers which were better still, pineapple fries (whaaaat?!) and a curry each. I purposefully didn’t finish my curry so I would still be able to enjoy it today, the only downside was that I accidentally left it in the pub so now need to go back for another fix at the earliest convenience. 12/10 would visit again

Laidback bar in West End

Taking inspiration from the holiday hot spots of the Pacific Rim, Honu is on Dumbarton Road – Glasgow’s answer to Polynesia. With cool blue walls and great views of the Dumbarton Road street life, this casual bar diner is a laidback spot for sipping a couple of cocktails or grazing on an aubergine burger. Perhaps with some salted edamame beans on the side.

Pan-Pacific dining: poke bowls, flatbreads, Thai curries and more

Inviting as the cocktail list is, the food is just as big an attraction at Honu. Small plates feature choices such as Korean chicken bites with gochujang sauce; king prawn tempura and grilled halloumi served with yoghurt, a pineapple salsa and flatbread.

Main courses include a range of Thai red curries; a chicken katsu burger and slow-cooked brisket on a brioche bun with skinny fries. If you want to be on trend, order a poke bowl (pronounced POH-ke). Hawaii’s take on sushi, those served at Honu can be topped with tempura king prawn, panko chicken or cauliflower and orange. Adventurous diners can say ‘Aloha’ to the sweet chix waffle: fried chicken, hazelnut ice cream, blueberry infused maple syrup, blueberry with skinny fries
