Im surprised at the bad reviews as we had lovely food from Phoenix takeaway.We had a big food order consisting of shredded crispy duck, lots of sauce & spring onion etc.. Salt & pepper chicken, chicken chow mein, lemon chicken, chicken fried rice. Everything was tasty, good portions & was piping hot. Would definitely recommend. We’ll be visiting again when we are back in Pwllheli.

Last meal of our lovely 4 day break was spoilt by the awful meal ! Crispy chilli shredded beef and sweet & sour chicken. The shredded beef was big lumps stuck together rock hard. Couldn't even cut it, never mind bite it. Battered chicken was soggy. Binned it. Will never use again.

We have been coming here for years always lovely food what has happened, called tonight the food was absolutely awful first was spare ribs & Peking sauce omg at first we thought they had given us chicken wings they were covered in some sort of batter with a very strong vinegary sauce I have never had anything like it in 55 years, then we had fried rice also soft noodles it just didn't taste right at all then the chicken & cashew nut how can you do that to chicken it was slobbery really disgusting & it had bits of crunchy frozen mixed veg in it, then chicken curry it's that Chinese curry powder from bm & home bargains but too thick & strong horrid we travel from porthmadog because it was so nice never again.

Served chicken curry that was raw inside. I phoned to tell them, and that I'd bring the curry back for a refund. I was told that the chicken was pre cooked and then recooked, so I was not possible for it not to correctly cooked. I did tell her that I was aware of the difference between cooked and uncooked chicken and that my partner (who's been a chef and owned a very successful restaurant, did actually know the difference). I was then told that 'they'd have a look at it when I brought it back'. (no thank you, you can't cook it properly, I certainly don't want you ferreting through my food). My partner went back with the curry and was told that it wasn't raw, it was in fact potato starch inside. So they are now injecting their chicken with potato starch, really, wtaf?! This was stated by the 'chef'! Partner said that he'd have the piece of chicken back if this was the case, and send it off for testing. They refused to give the piece of chicken back (wonder why) Got money back, never go there again. AVOID, I NOW FEEL Sick. Staffs attitude disgusting, furthermore they attempted to short change me. When I went back inside, she made out that she'd just realised. All my partners family are from Pwllheli and this is a well known trick. All I'll say is check your change before you leave. It's now apparent as to why it was empty.

Our favourite Chinese take-away. They have a great choice and the food is always delicious. I tend to judge a Chinese take-away on the standard of their crispy shredded beef and here at the Phoenix it is always crispy. This is not a restaurant where you can eat in. They only provide a take-away service.

Visiting the area for a week and decided to give Phoenix a try.I had chicken curry and boiled rice.The curry sauce and the rice were fine.However the chicken was completely tasteless and the dish was “padded” with a huge amount of onion - and it was raw. Yuk!My husband had Cantonese chicken.Again tasteless chicken and again the dish was “padded” with a huge amount of onion - and it was again raw. We also had seaweed as well.This didn’t taste at all fresh.£20 wasted - avoid this takeaway.

This place has gone downhill. We ordered a variety of dishes all of which were bland and devoid of any flavour. The chicken looked and tasted awful. Satay sauce was thin and watery and hadn't seen a peanut. Chips were rubbery and had obviously been cooked previously and re-heated (a few times probably). When we have visited this takeaway previously it has been really busy - this time it was empty which should have been a sign. This is the worst Chinese food we have ever tasted and we will not be returning

Thos was a pretty standard Chinese takeaway but it has changed hands and is now dreadful. The rubber chicken in the Chicken Fried Rice we have to the dog and even she was sick 30 minutes later. The Beef in Black Bean Sauce was like leather. The Chicken Chow Mein was over sweet with the same awful chicken in cubes and chips were soggy. You have been warned is all I can say. A great shame.

This Chinese has been our favourite for a while. We travel 25 mins there to get it. The original women who was there has gone now since new year and since she has left the food is going downhill. The chips are white and undercooked I think they just dipped them in the fat for a minute and that's it. The crispy beef was chewy not crispy.its not how it was 3 months ago. Shame as it is a busy Chinese for its good and large portions of food. Don't let it go down hill.i will give them one more go and if its the same again I will go elsewhere.

Me and my sister had a takeaway from here today , we live locally and usually the food is to an ok standard , today however is a different story. Our food looked and tasted of stale grease and the chicken was slimy and it was also like chewing a piece of rubber , the chips were white and under cooked , tasted like raw potatoes, the noodles in the chowmein were chopped up finely and burnt. I wont be coming back again as all our food ended up in the bin , the only reason we came tonight was because Bamboo chinese takeaway was closed. The bamboo chinese takeaway up the road is much better.

looks like cheap Iceland chicken to me. would make sense as Iceland is facing it. the food is pretty bad here and is cheap and poor quality. you wont get service with a smile. they rush to take your money. very money mad. when I went, the owner seemed more interested on getting my money then getting my order right. I don't know what I was sent home with but it wasn't what I ordered. did try and phone to ask her to change the dish she had wrongly served me but she said she didn't understand what I was saying. funny, she understood how much money she was taking from me and how much change I was given and also how much the plastic fork cost, considering my order was around £30. the 5p for the fork was very important to her.

The queue was quite big but that is a positive for me. people like it and the food is fresher as people are ordering it quicker. Cold not fault the fast service and qualtity of food. Still piping hot after a 10 minute car journey. Great taste and cooked brilliantly... Highly recommended

He estado utilizando el Phoenix regularmente sobre una base casi semanal ahora por más de un año. Normalmente, la comida es buena, pero la última noche fue la peor comida para llevar china que he experimentado. Primero el pedido estaba equivocado y luego la comida era inferior a la media. El huevo frito budín de arroz era como el Chow Mein, era sin sabor y la carne en suero de alubias negras era. No volveremos por un tiempo. Vienen en Phoenix, sólo porque es temporada de vacaciones no es excusa para bajar su nivel!

We wanted to have Chinese while on holiday. The other Chinese were closed in town so ended up at Phoenix. We ordered the amount we would at home but the portions were so big it lasted two full meals. The food we had was piping hot and full of flavour. The only issue was the lengthy wait as we we did not ring the order through but if you are on holiday then you have no worries about rushing. We would highly recommend the food and the helpful service. Will visit again if back in the area. Thank you

I like the food from here but my father doesn't - he wanted a special chow mein with a side order of curry sauce during my visit to town so when Bamboo house was shut Tuesday I opted to treat my dad from here. Unfortunately the noodles he had were very thin and reminiscent of supernoodles. Maybe he's so used to bamboo houses noodles that this was no compromise but he's told me he doesn't want anything from here again.

I'm not going to waste too much time on this review, so here it is: Veggie chow-mein was disgusting with dry noodles plonked on top of a very uninspired selection of veggies with hardly any sauce. Sweet and sour sauce was gloopy, sticky, full of sugar and heaven knows what else, ribs were little knuckles covered in gristle and fat and the satay was so hot (chilli hot, not temperature hot) that it overwhelmed the whole dish, but given the appearance of the "meat" that may not have been a bad thing. All in bin, didn't even want to give it to the chickens and they'll eat anything (usually). Don't go here, even if you're starving..seriously.

1st time we went to this place was New Years Eve. Made a big phone order (9 dishes) to collect. Fantastic food & service. Told on the phone it would take 5 minutes, (which I doubted) yet it was all ready piping hot packed in a box when I arrived! The Szechwan spicy dishes were amazing.Much much better than the other Chinese takeaway in Pwllheli. The portions are massive easily enough to share, and the menu has some tasty little extras that you don't usually find.Very cheerful and pleasant staff.Definitely going back here whenever we can! 5* food.

Massive portions, plenty enough for two people. Disappointing chips though, nothing like the 'refried' lovely ones from other Chinese takeaways. In fact the chippy side of things isn't very good at all, as the chips are barely cooked, and very pale! Oh, and make sure you are in reach of LOTS of water, as you'll need it after!!!

Ordered a take away by phone this evening and was told it would be half an hour. I arrived half an hour later and on arrival the lady serving asked what number my ticket was. I told her and she correctly read me back my order from the ticket she had in her hand and I paid her. After about 15 minutes I was still waiting. I realised several ticket numbers after mine had collected their food. I enquired as to where my food was and all of the staff began to look confused. No one seemed to know where my ticket was.. Lots of frantic searching and there was still no trace..... I was asked for my order again and it transpired they'd not even started cooking it!!! I asked if there was going to be some kind of refund in the cost, to cover my fuel and lengthy wait and was told no, but I could have an extra dish??? I'd ordered what we wanted so this would be pointless.. I again asked if there would be some kind of good will refund and was told I could either take the food when it was eventually cooked or have a refund... Unsurprisingly I took the refund and left otherwise I suspect I would still be there now!! It was a 15 minute drive to get there in the first place!! Absolutely terrible! We have been good loyal customers sice they opened but not any more... Avoid!!!

Well, the portion sizes here are pretty good here, impressed with that I must say.However, there is that trade off between quality and quantity - and that trade-off certainly was made. I have never had a Chinese meal as bad as this. I ordered Crispy Beef in OK Sauce, and that was a complete misnomer as it wasn't even alright. I had never tasted one that was like bonfire toffee before. The rice was alright too - nothing at all to write home about. I gave up after a bit, and left loads - as I couldn't insult my favourite dish.The guy serving was quietly spoken and didn't look at you and mumbled!Oh the other saving grace, it was the only carrier bag I didn't have to pay for in Wales!!

I was hungry and fancied a snack but didn't want the usual fish and chip cafe food you get in these parts. Unusual to find a Chinese open at a lunch time and being a great lover of Chinese food I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered the chicken curry lunch time special, it came with egg fried rice it one very big container. It was a bit more than the snack I intended, in fact it was a complete meal all for £4. Rice was as you would expect it and the curry was excellent, packed full of chicken. The chicken was among the nicest chicken I've had from a Chinese takeaway. One of the nicest chicken curries I've had in a long time. I really wasn't expecting much from this little Chinese takeaway but it exceeded my expectations. Go and support this local business so it's still there when I return next year....!

I tried and liked the beef & blackbean sauce, kung po chicken and Singapore vermicelli. The meat was tender and the sauces good. Masses of cashews in kung po. We didnt like the salt & chilli ribs - they were not good. Firstly they were in a batter which was not what I hoped for nor wanted. They were greasy and chewy. It's a bad show actually. Its easy to cook ribs till they're tender then reheat them and garnish them with some chilli and garlic and salt etc.. if all the ribs are like this do not have the ribs. But three out of the four dishes were better than average so it's a shame the ribs let the meal down. It was cooked very quickly which was fine obviously. I asked around and some of the locals preferred this Chinese to the others so I would say on balance, I would just about agree. Sort the ribs out though !!

We live in Cheshire and to get a complete meal that we like all round we get the starters from one takeaway and mains from another.The Phoenix is good all round. Crispy duck came pre-shredded, 10 pancakes for a 1/4 duck (our local only gives us 6) lots of spring onion and cucumber and Hoi-sin sauce. Crispy won-ton excellent. Pancake rolls - a little different to what we're used to with a bit of a sauce going on inside. Prawn toast a good layer of prawns (and not chicken like we've had in some takeaways). Crispy beef in garlic and chilli - the beef was really crispy and the sauce quite pokey and not too sweet. Chicken Satay - again fairly hot, but not unbearable, it was a tiny bit floury. Chicken and mushroom - yum. Noodles and beansprouts - done perfectly. Fried rice and chips - as you'd expect.The order was given over the phone with a promise of it being ready in 15-20 mins and it was. And it was correct to boot.We over ordered, as everyone does. So there was enough for tea the next day for two adults. Overall, pretty reasonable value for money. But the quality was excellent. This is the second year on the trot we've been here and it was just as good both times and infinitely better than the other chinese we've tried in Pwll.

We went to the phoenix on monday, we had orange & honey ribs which were excellent, a chicken curry & roast pork fried rice, you get so much meat in the dishes if you have a curry we found if you get a curry sauce as well you can put some of the chicken in that & get a fried rice & mlx the pork fried rice into it it would feed three people im not a tight wad but you do get loads of meat they are quick as well.

Smelt lovely walking the dog, so picked up a menu and dropped in for a takeaway Monday Ordered 2 king prawn curry's and rice 2 chips and a crispy chilli beef and rice.. On opening the curry was very watery and greasy looking not a lot of onion and several prawns ,it was nice ..better than we thought but thicker curry sauce would've been much better. The crispy beef was hurrendous. Do not order..not crispy but burnt and overcooked, was like it was refried and had gone too hard..so for us a dissapointing meal

The menu looks fantastic, so we decided on our takeaway. My husband chose the ribs and I just fancied a portion of chips. The ribs were quite good but the best bit was the sauce, my chips were disgusting. They had a funny taste, some were hard and the rest ugh! The best bit was the salt.

The first time I have actually had to spit food out.I have eaten more authentic out of a jar, and I think this is exactly what this take out used, the peppers were definitely frozen, glutenus curry with a thick skin, old dried out chips and a bag of prawn crackers that tasted of chemicals, honestly visit at your own health.

Conseguir una comida para llevar de manera regular. Choys La comida es excelente y siempre caliente. No volvería en cualquier otra comida china para llevar en Bangor. Andrea siempre dispuesta a tomar una orden telefónica desde el tren, así que puedo recoger mi comida como pasar por el camino de la estación!
