I'm withdrawing my criticism of the western sushi chef though, that wasn't nice of me. It is just such a disappointment to be in this restaurant, to have a great enthusiasm for the food, and then to only be able to share it with Chinese or Westerners. Fair enough, there aren't too many Koreans in Glasgow, but the ones that were there were seemingly too busy behind the front desk. The beauty of the London ones, apart from the far cheaper prices and far broader selection, is that I can try my Korean and they love to talk about their favourite Korean food, especially Sogogi Jangjorim. hehehe, I had the owner lady banging the window of her Chinatown based Korean restaurant as I left, to draw my attention to her waving goodbye, hehehe, that's lovely, and thats the kind of warmth I like to share when I have a love of the food and when I express a keen interest in it. Kokuryo leaves you a little cold. hi, i’m afraid to say that there are no other korean restaurants in scotland, so technically it is the best one we have! i could recommend some really good ones in london that my girlfriend sourced out. my favourite one in london has korean karaoke. if you want korean sojo, they sell it at seewoo for £3 or £4 per bottle; at Kokuryo, they sell it for £7 or £8.

Do you know of any other Korean restaurants we could visit in Glasgow? If you do I'd be really interested in going along and giving it a try. @Martin - cheers for the heads up.

Thought I better update this thread - I've just logged in for the first time in a while and am amazed by how much reaction there has been. We have not been back to Lebowskis yet - and that's purely because Boydies changed jobs and his works way out of the city - as such I'm recruiting new bodies to get involved. I promise by end of June I'll be along with at least one other person and re-review Lebowskis. Hey guys.

(they have a western sushi chef for the love of...) most importantly their kimchi is poor, and they only have one type! galbi jjam is dry as the bones under the meat, and they put far too much gochojang in almost everything. stay away from the dolsotbibimbap, it will put you off a wonderfully interesting dish for the rest of your life. it was certainly not a very korean atmosphere either, just full of druken glaswegians who think wine is a natural accompanisment to korean food, yukkk! drink soju, at least they have soju i’m a big korean food fan, i eat it almost everyday. unfortunately kokuryo is not really representative of good korean food, they sell japanese sushi, not able to russle up some good kimbap it seems.

I love Lebowskis, so much so that my friends and I have called ourselves the Lebowski Ladies and meet up every Friday and go and chill wilth a few bottles of wine or cocktails and a nice bite to eat. Since moving to Glasgow I have found it really hard to find a pub that has a great atmosphere, is friendly not pretentious, you can wear what you want (dressed up or down), feels comfortable (even walking in myself and I don't do this anywhere else!!) and serves non fussy but really good food. Lebowskis ticks all the boxes. It's a gem of a place and the guys are really nice and chatty and always look after us. It's a hard thing to set up business and especially challenging when you are friends but they can definitely give themselves a pat on the back. Keep up the good work and I look forward to many more laughs in Lebowskis. I know everyone has an opinion……….some just aren’t as nice as others!!!

Thankfully, it hasn't put me off visiting the place, and now, on a regular occassion. The service is fantastic and friendly, the food is fresh and tasty and they know how to make a mean french martini.. what more can you ask for? The guys who run this place are really passionate about what they do and it comes across in the way they interact with customers... give them another chance!

Its about time you gave the Lebowskis place its dues. Great Food, good prices and great atmosphere. I should get the guys at lebowksis to pay me for biggin up the place, but every once in a while a place comes around that deserves great recognition and having this over the top dig (that boydie and briggs have written - hardly subjective and rather more personal attacks, isn't it guys) appear when you search for the place is plain wrong in my view. The major national publication that is the LIST Magazine has just rated Lebowskis as outstanding - its on their Hit List and featured in the magazine. Great idea you guys seem to have but you need to keep up with things! Guys - when ru going to change this site its old and out of date, as are the comments about lebowksis?

Again I am another person who has nothing but massive praise for the jewel of the place. I moved to Glasgow 3months ago and its a fab place that has become a treasured local and meeting place. The guys are fantastic and the burgers (and steak, wedges, salad, bangers and mash) are awesome. Portions are big so take it easy on the brekkie so you can wolf it all down. Given it is a new business and you admit yourselves everyone has an off day (especially given when you are in startup mode) isn't it time to take yourselves down there and give them another go and then review your writeup. A place like this deserves support (which it has from its increasing legion of faithful locals). Who wants another bland indetikit bar with bland menu etc?? Support Lebowski's a bar with character, individuality and a good heart! M Have you guys yet been back to the Bowski’s to try the new menu?

An incredible find if i do say so myself. I find it extremely hard to believe i am writing about the same place that these heathens above have slated, they obviously don't know or realise a haven when they see one. Food: 11/10. Portions: Huge. Service: Non pretentious, friendly and very welcoming, and what an attractive and wide selection of drinks to choose from their back bar. This is a true barmans bar with a great warming atmosphere to boot. Keep up the good work guys, don't listen to the nonsense above, they don't know what the hell they are talking about!!! Oh, what a wicked review in the List also, i see they gave you 1 of their extremely precious stars too!! Just goes to show that the TRUE EXPERIENCED critics rate you very highly, and so they should too!!! What an absolute Gem of place!!!
