If you are looking for something tasty this is the the place, always a tasty meal. There are plenty on gluten free menu which is also just as tasty. Peking chicken is my go to here as it is absolutely banging. Go here now!

Rice overcooked. Barely any curry sauce chips tasted like fish. There's better chineses in the town.

Ordered a takeaway meal from Phoenix, but unfortunately didn't enjoy it and wasn't that impressed with the quality of the food. The salt and chilli chips were not too bad, however the portion wasn't great. The breast of chicken curry was stodgy, the chicken was tough and question whether it was breast at all. The portion size was decent though. On a positive note, the service was quick and the staff were pleasant.

I haven’t had a proper gluten free Chinese takeaway in 5 years since having coeliac disease. We found this based on reviews and it didn’t disappoint! I had garlic mushrooms with salt and pepper crispy chicken. Oh I was in love!

Phoned up and asked politely how long it would be for a delivery and the woman on the phone took a sarcastic tone and said "WE DON'T DO DELIVERIES" then hung up.

Staying local to Dumfries and not from area picked this one over others due to the fact they did Gluten Free for one of family. Food was good the GF salt and peper chicken was really nice and recommended, family enjoyed there various meals, will pop back if back in New Abbey

Given the reviews we thought this would be a safe bet for a takeaway while visiting Dumfries. Unfortunately we weren’t inspired nor did we enjoy what we choose. The portion size we felt was smaller than a typical takeaway, the chicken balls should be renamed chicken pancakes and were not only very stodgy but greasy too. As we were hungry we ate what we ordered but we were sadly disappointed

A small family run Chinese - been going here 7 years now :) I've never had a crap meal, their Salt and pepper chicken is yum, as is the special foo young, and prawn toast Just saying ;) Thin prawn crackers :( -it would be nice to have fatter versions, but I hardly eat them anyways fat or thin. Yep, it's cash only - it always has been, but for me, that's not a drawback. A full meal costs around 8 pounds, which I think is good value. Food has always been hot and tasty.

I will not return to this Chinese. We were over charged, the food was hands down the worst we have ever had, we ordered the house special chow main it was made with supernoodles very disappointing especially since it cost over £9.50 marked up over £1.60 over menu price. Then the sweet and sour Cantonese was worse yet, it was not fresh you could tell it had been made 4/5 days prior and mainly consists of onions and green pepper again was marked up from the menu price of 7.20 the best thing about mine and husband's meals were the chips and prawn crackers. If you are considering a Chinese meal from Dumfries please try another Chinese to save spending your hard earned cash on the food from this establishment..

I've recently moved here from Glasgow, where there is a huge choice of excellent takeaways, so I was keen to see how Phoenix measured up. It doesn't look much from the outside and could maybe do with a lick of paint, but our food was plentiful, tasty and good value (including a free sack of prawn crackers). There's also gluten-free and some specials not on the regular menu. Phoenix doesn't offer the huge choice that big city places do and delivery doesn't seem to be an option, plus - don't get caught out - it's cash only.

Since discovering this Chinese a little over 2 years ago, I can honestly say eating another Chinese Takeout feels wrong. I have been back consistently not just for the brilliant food, but for the attentive service with regards to allergies. The owner cannot be faulted at all. The staff are always polite, and you know your custom is valued when the family recognise you when you enter. Absolutely amazing Chinese. I daren't go anywhere else!

Does exactly what it says on the tin! I had food from here this evening and I was very happy. I chose to drive there, order and wait. I parked in a residential street opposite, so no problems with convenience, the menu was simple, with a good choice of foods, and, the prices were pretty standard for a Chinese takeaway, so no issues there. The kitchen is visible from the order counter and I can honestly say that it was clean and tidy, everything was labelled and the meats were stored separate, and with fridge spaces clearly separated of cooked, from raw. It seems to be a well run kitchen. The food was hot and we'll packaged so no issues of sauces spilling in the bag, or it getting cold when taking it back to my hotel in the car (although the hotel was less than a mile straight up the road, so not really a big issue to be honest). finally, the food was really very tastey and I enjoyed it a lot. I will definitely be back next time I'm working in Dumfries, and I would definitely recommend this takeaway to anyone. Also, I had the Chinese (katsu style) chicken curry, and it was honestly the best I've had in a really long time. This is a very good takeaway.

We were really looking forward to our meal from Sun Kai as an end of holiday treat....sadly the best thing about the food was the microwave safe containers it came in! Rice was salty and hard, prawns were tough and in awful batter and the chow mein had overcooked noodles and undercooked everything else and was really tasteless. I can't believe it's gone so bad in only a year. We won't be back and if I could give minus stars, I would.
