Viral Glasgow food stall set to open exciting new restaurant
The team behind HO LEE FOOK, based on Mcfarlane Street across from the Barras, has announced they are 'expecting' a new project.
They'll be taking over the shop previously owned by brunch spot Scran at 239 London Road.
Ho Lee Fook means good, wealth, and luck in Cantonese and the stall's menu, with highlights including haggis infused spring rolls, has queus forming around the corner.
Now, they'll be opening up a restaurant in the space already loved by brunch munchers.
Announcing the news on social media, they said: "HOLEEFOOK!! Is EXPECTING!!!
INTRODUCING… FOOK MEI @fookmeiglasgow.
"(I clearly need introduced to an iron).
"Follow our journey turning the epic @scrangla into a Noodz or Sando Bar. TBC."
Fans flocked to their post to share their excitement, one said: "This is news I needed today, holy hell, I'll never be out of there."
Another gushed: "OMG! Congrats Lee and Johnny! Amazing news!"
A third added: "YES MATE!!! Absolutely buzzing at this news!! Here we gooo!!!"
While a few fans wanted to ensure their stall would remain open, they said, "YES!! Are you still going to have the shack?"
HO LEE FOOK opened in 2023 and is run by Johnny and Lee. They were born in Scotland to Hong Kong parents and grew up as "takeaway kids," helping out in their families' shops.
The Glasgow Times reported when the previous London Road shop owners, Scran, announced their 'exciting new plans'.
At the beginning of this month, we reported that Scran will close its restaurant on London Road on Sunday, June 15, while a new eatery called Scran and Roadie will open at 180 Saltmarket on Saturday, June 21.
Announcing the change on Instagram, owner Chris Mearns wrote: "It's almost time to pull the shutters down on our wee cafe for the final time.
"Our last day will be Sunday 15th so you've still got two weeks to get your London Road Scran in.
"It's bittersweet, we've had loads of fun and made so many friends here over the last two years, but it's time to get serious and take things to a whole new level."
HO LEE FOOK have created a new page for new venture FOOK MEI, and you can follow its progress here.
