Pickled Ginger

Does the newest addition to the Finnieston food scene – opened in May – signal the start of the next fad in Glasgow dining? If cities like London and Berlin are any example, hipster-y Japanese (in particular ramen) diners are sure to be the next tide of cuisine to land here once the burger wave breaks. But Pickled Ginger is far more than just a ramen joint – they run the gamut of Japanese and east Asian food from sushi (prepared fresh in the kitchen) to dumplings, bento boxes, broths and various types of noodle and rice dishes. Drinks include Asian-inspired floral cocktails and Japanese whiskies and craft beers. It’s tiny – just a handful of very tight tables – and way out on the fringes of Finnieston (technically more like Anderston), but well worth a visit.
