New Glasgow restaurant Ho Lee Fook reveals amazing transformation of Barras venue in video

Glasgow is rightly proud of its booming food scene, with new businesses seeing queues out the door.

But venture along to the east end of the city, specifically the Barras, and you'll see a thriving scene with customers waiting to collect their mouth-watering treats on every corner.

In recent months, the area has welcomed new eateries and one, which has just opened today, already has locals talking - for several good reasons.

Located by the famous Barrowland Ballroom, the Barras is now home to a new Asian Street food and it's safe to say we're drooling just looking at their menu.

Opening up their doors in the sunshine for the first time today, June 9, Ho Lee Fook has shared a video of its incredible transformation, going from a building site to a fully functioning kitchen and hot foot stall, ready to sling out some serious street food.

The cheekily named eatery - and if you don't get it yet, all we have to say is don't swear in front of children - has a meaning behind its name with each word representing a lovely word, as seen below.

好 (ho) good
利 (lee) wealth
福 (fook) luck

Some of their menu options include spring rolls, pizza fries, spicy ramen fried rice, gyozas, HK Bo Lo Bao, Biang Biang Noodles and a whole host of other options to feast your eyes upon.

Prices for their mouth-watering street food start at £1.50 with the most expensive being £9. And with weather like this there's no better time to get out, try some and have a wander around the markets - or take it to Glasgow Green and soak up the sun.

Taking to Instagram to congratulate them on their transformation, locals didn't hold back on just how keen they are to try their creations with one saying: "Best of luck for the grand opening! It looks absolutely wicked!"

Another wrote: "Wishing you all the luck in the world. You have put in a power of work."

"Buzzing to try today! Looks amazing," said a hungry third.

It's not just locals that are loving them with one Welsh commenter saying: "Good luck! Hope your opening goes well!! Wish you can deliver to wales!"

You can watch their transformation below.
