Sun Kai in Dumfries & Galloway

Yet another pleasant visit to Stranraer, topped off with a meal at Sun Kai. Couldn't have been better, tastie food and friendly hospitable staff.

Don’t usually like Cantonese food but this food was melt in your mouth delicious. The salt and pepper chicken wings were the best we’ve ever eaten. Definitely go again next time we are in this part of Scotland.

Very nice meal. Restaurant really nicely decorated and family friendly. Waiters were extremely friendly and welcoming. Very reasonable prices also.

I went to the Sun Kai on Monday for a sit in meal and had 3 courses of lovely tasty food. Staff on were very friendly. Cannot fault this place in any way. Will definately be back

Fast friendly service from staff and a lovely meal had by the whole family. Will definitely be back again to sample more of the menu.

We arrived for afternoon lunch it was pretty quiet which was good with very quick greeting from friendly staff , who showed us to our seats. Then couple min later came over asked if we would like something to drink ordered few coke,s. Then she came back to take our lunch order had lovely prawn cocktail to start which was realy nice, then ordered sweetsour chicken fried rice well worth the money good prices will be back.

Yes yes yes yes, YES.....Scotland definitely has the X tra factor . "They took the words right out of our mouths" ... it must have been the seafood that was kissing me . We were staying near the Harbour Lights and the lights said go.. we were looking out for a place to go. Sun Kai had the right music.... beautiful place to eat . Let's loose the cheesy songs and get down to the amazing food. Only staying Friday night near by and late on arrival we chose the Sun Kai on local recommendation . Well we were not disappointed. Had a relaxing drink in the bar area and ordered the food . Not rushed and we were very chilled out. There is a three course before 9pm for a reasonable price but we decided to treat ourselves . First time here but not our last. We said what our preferences were and "First Class Service was applied " They even recommended the main course to suit our tastes ....and WHAT a taste of paradise it was. Starters for me king prawns butterflied in a sweet chilli sauce .. yum. Crab claws for hubby .. he found delicious . Don't always assume that all you can have is the set a la carte menu .. let them know what you like and on a quieter night they will I am sure,....oblige. Better value for money if wine is required .. buy the wine by the bottle NOT....by the glass . Chardonnay and also Sauvignon recommended . Main course we discussed what we both liked and we had squid and black bean sauce , king prawns with sweet and sour sauce (didn't taste processed at all). Scallops with chilli sauce and one portion of fried rice was enough.Seafood heaven. Finished with Chinese tea and a large expresso and well worth the SERVICE....FOOD. and MONEY...Thank you very much and will definitely be back .

I have eaten at the Sun Kai a couple of times now in the last few months. Service alwasy very good, welcoming and pleasant.Food has always arrived in decent time, been nice and hot and always had decent portions. Taste was great, I do like a spicy curry and thats what I got. Kids loved it too.If I'm in Stranraer and fancy a chinese meal, it will be back here again!

Down staying at glenluce decided to pop in for dinner 3 courses for £12.50 normally these kind of menus can be very basic small portions but it was a great choice had the pancake rolls to start then cantonese beef was simply delicious.Staff very attentive very friendly would recommend. We shall be back. Thankyou for a lovely meal!!

Touring Scotland we decided we would get a lunch time takeaway from here whilst in Stranraer. We had a deadline to keep to, so ordered our meal, I stayed and my wife went back to the camper to get the eating irons ready. I waited and waited along with two other guys who couldn't believe it was taking so long. When it did arrive the two guys were served first even though I had ordered well before them ! In saying all that it was a really good meal and plenty of it, worth waiting for !?

Stayed in Stranraer for the weekend, we decided to go to Sun Kai on the Friday.We went for the set meal.All food came out fresh & very nice.Staff really friendly & prices were decent.Enjoyed meal overall.

Visit restaurant regularly, staff always welcoming. Food lovely, service quick, good variety on menu & teatime special early bird menu great value. Restaurant clean & well laid out. Drinks can be pricey. Lots parking close by.

What a ghastly place. We went here after reading some reviews on Google but I have to say that I have not had such a bad meal in quite some time. It all started with the first impression when we entered the restaurant and didn't get a particularly warm welcome. We sat down and ordered the food. When it came is when things went down hill very quickly. We had ordered starters a d main course and we were surprised that the food arrived so quickly to be honest. My wife and myself had different dishes and the strange thing was that they tasted very similar (one was a sezchuan and the other in mandarin sauce). The hot and sour soup also had some disturbing similarities to the main dishes which was just frightening. The kids meals where presented in a cute way but clearly the pizza was a cheap pizza from the frozen section with some big standard fries. Nothing great but the kids ate it so that was ok. Both my wife and myself did not eat anything as even the egg fried rice was tasteless and without much flavour. When we were approached by the waitress the only comment was that Chinese here was cooked differently and probably not to our pallet. Nothing was offered and charged in full even though we did the have a y of the food. This definitely left a sour taste behind and for me sets a new standard in bad culinary experiences. I have travelled the world and have had chines in England, Wales, Scotland, different parts of the USA, Germany, France etc. And thus know the difference between interpretations of dishes around the world and also in the same country. I will go out on a limb and say that this was a packet sauce and definitely not home made. The basis must be the same across all dishes but at the very least the ones we had.

usually visit at least once a month, food is delicious, large menu. also special early bird menu, well worth trying

This Chinese has been kept by a local family for many years now ,good honest Chinese food ,very busy Friday Saturday nights ,

Nice Chinese restaurant, food good and they have reasonable priced set menus. Good service and friendly staff.

Bought takeaway from here tikka curry was ok but sauce was like a spicy gravy in flavour,maybe expecting it to be more chinese as its a thai style ?,wifes blackbean meal was quite tasty good portions as others state will try something else next time.

Whilst travelling we stopped of and had a meal , If unsure ask the waitress , she was ever so helpful , lovely meal

Had a lovely meal here last night big portions well worth the money really reasonable prices and the welcome was great staff were excellent

good food, fast service . We ordered a take away and by the time we travelled from cairnryan to collect it, i was ready

I was recommended to try the Sun Kai Restaurant and Takeaway whilst on holiday in the area. The food was hot and freshly cooked. The portion size was excellent and very tasty. Highly recommend this takeaway and it has a large choice of dishes to choose from.

Looking at the reviews from others this place rated high which is why me and my family called in while on holiday nearby. Tha Sun Kai has a restaurant attached which we never used. I ordered, chicken egg foo Young, my wife shared a chicken omelette and the rest had curry fried rice and noodles with two pots of curry sauce.. The lady behind the counter (Scottish) was polite and curtious and handled our order well. With our order we recieved a free bag of prawn crackers. As we were only 10 mins away we waited until we got to our cottage to enjoy out meal. Maybe because people have different tastes in different cities we found the food not quite to our pallets. The curry was really thick and almost up pourable so we spooned it out, it was also tasteless, and more like grave with spice added. My egg foo yung was tasteless apart from the whole tin of peas they put in with it. My wife's chicken omelette was made with the same tasteless ingredients. The kids ate their rice and noodled after I mixed it with some Soy sauce which I was lucky to have. I personally wouldn't go back to the takeaway but it would be interesting to try the restaurant.

We were a party of 8 adults and 2 toddlers on Monday evening. What a surprise to find such good Chinese food in Stranraer particularly the fillet steak and chicken in Peking sauce on sizzling platter. Will definitely be returning.

This is a lovely little Chinese and mostly frequented by people in groups, whether it be family/friends or a business lunch or dinner. The menu is very varied and cater for most. It is great food and the staff are great. Price wise, around your average but certainly not over the top. Give it a go :)

Great service very friendly great food at a reasonable price!!!great menu choices!! Will definitely be back next holiday to Scotland!!! Kids meals are quite large! So value for money!!

Visit every time we are in Stranraer on holiday. Meals are great value for money and very very tasty

This is a little gem of a place. Excellent food, good service and very clean. Highly recommended. We visited midweek and the place was quiet but if you are in the area then do not miss an opportunity to enjoy an excellent chinese at decent prices.

The unassuming exterior of the Sun Kai had meant that I'd written it off as "just a takeaway" place on a quick walk around Stranraer earlier. However, being unable to decide on where to go, the favourable reviews on Trip Advisor and the relative closeness to where I was stopping, I thought that I’d take a chance on it. Not only wasn’t I disappointed, but this was probably one of the best Chinese meals that I’ve ever had and very well priced as was the beer (in fact most places charge much more for a pint).I went for the 3 course menu which had so many choices that I’d defy anyone not to be able to find at least several different meals from it (including “European”). The quality (and quantity) of the food was excellent, as was the service and I really couldn’t anything to fault it.The only “crime” was this was a Saturday evening/night and there was barely anyone there. Come on Stranraer, this place needs your support!The only question to myself for my remaining 2 nights is do I come to the Sun Kai for both nights, or give someone else at least a chance for 1 night? Decisions, decisions..

Eaten here loads of times ,never dissapoints ,use the carry out regularly highly recommend priced fairly standard .

Found this little gem while on a weekend break. Fantastic food, and super friendly service. Food was delivered quickly with a smile in pleasant surroundings. Would definitely call again if in the area, and would thoroughly recommend you give it a visit, don't pass it by.

Great restaurant. Well priced, tasty food. Best draught tennants we had the whole week. Very nice. Satay beef very good BUT not very spicy. Still excellent. Everybody enjoyed their meal. A hidden gem. Will be back the next time we are in the area.

Restaurant is lovely, friendly staff and great service. Meal was lovely. Definately recommend sitting in.

Fantastic service, friendly staff and huge portions. My husband and I went there for dinner and were not disappointed. When our main meal arrived we could not believe the portion sizes they were HUGE. My husbands chicken breast curry had 2 chicken breast in it and the chicken just melted in your mouth. We will definitely be visiting Sun Kai again when we are in the area. Fabulous.

We stopped, overnight, in Stranaer en route to the ferry to Ireland. Having not a lot else to do we wandered through the town's pubs and bars and happened upon the Sun Kai early evening. Even then the takeaway business was doing roaring trade so we popped into the restaurant to make a reservation for 8pm on that night (Saturday) - that wasn't a problem, but when we came later probably a good idea - not high season, but certainly popular.We ordered fairly typical meals for us, for a Chinese. The wife - spiced squid with salt and chilli, and me the ribs done similar as starters. My wife thought her's lacked a bit of heat, but I was perfectly happy with mine (perhaps a bit salty - nature of the dish). What did surprise me a lot was the meat was served off the bone - ribs, without ribs! I was initially a bit disappointed with this but actually, it's a clever idea and avoids the gnawing that often accompanies ribs that haven't been tenderised.Mains, my wife ordering the special scallops in chilli (guess I'm paying this one!) on rice and me the fillet steak in black pepper on a sizzling platter, on soft noodle. Mine was very good - for once the steak lived up to the promise of a tender bit of beef; the pepper sauce lacked some heat but was otherwise very good (waking the morning after, no hint of the MSG headache that often follows a chinese meal). My wife's meal though was superb - lovely flavour with spice but well balanced too. I nicked a bit of her veg and agreed with her that she made the best choice.A bottle of wine, and the whole lot came to £55. We've eaten worse food at highly rated/established restaurants in the heart of Manchester's China Town and paid double that, and enjoyed it significantly less. If I was to find myself in Stranrear again I wouldn't be disappointed to return to the Sun Kai

We stopped off at this restaurant on way through Stranraer and were pleasantly pleased with the place as a whole. The staff were friendly and couldnt do enough for you, all staff were really attentive and nothing was a bother. I would definately recommend and will definately be back. Great tasting food for not too much cost.

It was a very quiet April night in Stranraer midweek, and when we got to Sun Kai we were going to use the Take Away Service at Sun Kai, but entered the restaurant by mistake and decided to eat in. The lady running it stayed open especially for us as they were going to shut slightly early as it was very quiet night. I had the recommended Chefs Special Sizzling Duck and it was fabulous.. came out on a skillet sizzling and was so tasty. My friend had the chow mein and thoroughly enjoyed it. As well as impeccable food, the service was brilliant. The manager was friendly and we asked about the area as were visitors to the town and she was really helpful. Couldn't do enough to help and not intrusive at all! Would definitely recommend and would go back when in Stranraer again.

We were able To book at very short notice for a birthday outing for 10 people. The service was good and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent

Stayed in Stranraer again for a few days last week and as usual visited our favourite Chinese restaurant and as always were not disappointed. In fact we went three days in a row!Their homemade spring rolls are excellent and the barbecue spare ribs are to die for, just fantastic.Superb service from Maria is worth a mention. Give it a visit and see for yourselves!

Great menu choice and serviceMade us very welcome. Restaurant was really busy but staff still very tentative.

Thank you to the staff who were brilliant even though we had a late booking time. The very friendly waitress who recommended main meals for us all to share which we all enjoyed and even though we were a late booking time there was no pressure to eat and leave quickly. Thank you for a stress free delicious meal after a very long day at theatre.

Fantastic food and good service relaxing atmosphere in restaurant and plenty of space in takeaway Close to sea front and Marine and right next to a large free car park

Was looking forward to a family lunch here but was extremely disappointed. On arrival the lady serving us was very rude - no welcome at all, just pointed at a table and dropped the menus down. Thought she was maybe having a bad day, but this level of service continued. When one of our party asked what 'sun kai style was' she continued to set other tables and responded with a very abrupt: 'that's just the style it's cooked in.' Very helpful. We actually left as felt so uncomfortable in this restaurant.

A good choice of dishes, the restaurant was fairly busy but not noisy and the staff were pleasant. The portions were huge and value for money.

I hadn't been for a Chinese for a while and whilst waiting for our ferry to N.Ireland we ventured into Stranraer with the help of the TripAdvisor App. Sun Kai looked to have some fairly decent reviews so we thought we would have a dabble and with how hungry three of us were it was going to be a mighty dabble.They say first impressions are so important and l have to be honest l wasn't too impressed with this place, it was warm outside for the time of year and as we walked in the first thing that l noticed was how cold it was in this place compared to outside and that's saying something for the location. We were greeted promptly and then ushered up to the left to an elevated waiting area that was cramped and felt like an A & E waiting room, l thought they had just opened as it was 6pm but apparently this is normal. There were two couples up there with our group of three and l can tell you now no one was rushing to take their jackets off, but what happened next was an even bigger surprise, the hostess arrived with menu's and asked if we would like drinks, I nearly asked for a pot of tea or a hot cocoa. Twenty minutes after ordering we were finally brought in from the cold waiting area and thankfully our table was by a long radiator and the main restaurant area was warm. Our starters arrived soon after and we started with a mixed platter for three, some satay chicken and a chicken and sweetcorn soup. The chicken and sweetcorn soup was very nice and the chicken satay wasn't great, as for the mixed platter it was a mixture of cheap stuff that you would buy in Iceland, 20 for a quid if you know what l mean.Our mains were a turn for the better l'm glad to say and l can see why it has managed to get a lot of good reviews from previous reviewers but its far from the best Chinese l have eaten. There were a lot of good things which confuse my final thoughts on this place, the cleanliness is good, the décor and ambience of the restaurant are very nice and the staff were excellent. As for pricing, it was around £25 per head which was very reasonable for what we had to eat and drink.

Food and service was great, couldn't fault it. Early bird menu a total bargain. Had a takeaway the following night and it was not to the same standard.

Stopped in whilst holidaying in the corsewall estate. Very nice decor and your order is taken whilst your having drinks. Ate from set menu and choice of meals was very good. Food was great and overall great value. Very attentive waitress made diners very welcome.

First time here visited the restaurant the food was amazing the service excellent. pleasant decor with good atmosphere.

had the early bird three course meal about two weeks ago, nowhere in Stranraer is there better value for money, great service and food excellent.

Great Chinese food.Service is excellent, especially Amy who gave us a warm welcome, was friendly and efficient.

I've eaten Cantonese food all over the world and Sun Kai is just as good as some of the better/expensive restaurants. Went there following international Trip Advisor reviews. Food is great. Service is with a smile. I suspect the nasty reviews are only from competition.

Recommended by the owner of the guest house we stayed in. Turned up without booking for a couple on a Saturday night. We had a drink at the bar before being shown to our table. A very varied and reasonably priced menu we chose a starter and main course. The sweet & sour soup was a delight followed spicey beef strips & fried rice. The food was first class with a first class service. If you are looking for somewhere to visit when in Stranraer Sun Kai is well worth a visit.

This restaurant is very friendly and the food is eXcellent. A great choice of unusual specials on the board

It was fabulous it was great food and it didn't take long to get the service was quick and nothing was to much trouble for them and I like how the sit u to the side then get your drink then take u to your tables

brilliant food and staff, nothing was to much trouble for staff even though they were busy, will return again

We had a very lovely meal here. The tall girl who served us our meal made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back

Sunkai every Saturday and pleased everybweekCurry sauce is the best so is the chipsSometimes need to be hotter but it is tasty full of flavour and fillingBest Chinese In stranraer

Visited again and the décor, service and food quality maintained the high standards expected of this restaurant.excellent 3 course dinner which is excellent value, also have an extensive a la cart menu if require.Superb value and would recommend if seeking an excellent Chinese meal.

Ledte efter et sted at spise og fandt denne lille restaurant med et ret stort menu kort. Vi fik et godt og spændende måltid ned gode retter.

Having spent the day in Belfast, I called to make a reservation late that evening, as the ferry was not getting in until 10.00pm, and was told this was not a problem. When we arrived, at 10.30, we were welcomed and not rushed. We had the dim sum platter, which was amazing, the last time I had dumplings like that, I was in China. The main course, sweet and sour chicken, and ginger and spring onion, was hot, fresh and full of flavour, high quality restaurant food. If you are in Stranraer eat there, I have eaten in Chinese restaurants up and down the country, and this is one of the best.

This was the second time we had a takeaway from this place (Hong Kong City was closed for some reason. The last time the food was bad.....tonight it was awful. We had 6 dishes and we can honestly say that not 1 was nice....the food was barely edible. Stay away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have visited here a few times and have never had a bad meal. Food and service is always excellent. You are asked to sit in the bar area to place your order and then moved to the dining area when ready to serve which is a bit odd but doesn't affect my rating overall.

This is restaurant is cantoese and the takeaway is Chinese without a doubt the sit in is fantastic service and perfect food very reasonable prices with a great selection to choose from definitely worth a visit

Dont be put off by the outside! On entering the restaurant it was clean fresh and modern! Food was fabulous and excellent value for money! If you are in Stranraer dont miss going!

Brillant food love the chicken curry really tasty and Kenny the owner is a very nice guy always smiling and pleasant

Tried an evening meal here whilst staying in Stranraer. Waitress taking the orders was quite stern, there were 4 of us, when the food arrived 2 meals came out then then there was a long wait until the other 2 meals came, causing some of the food to go luke warm. Food was OK but nothing special. A little disappointing.

Four of us had the early bird menu, served quickly, nice and hot, great taste, its been ages since I had eaten there, I must go back sooner. The best spring pancake rolls around followed by the garlic and chilli crispy beef, yum

Have used the carryout regularly over the last six months as we've been in Stranraer every week and its been very good. Went for a sit in meal in the restaurant two days before Xmas with my family and ate from the set £11 menu. It was very quiet when we went in and we were seen to very quickly by quite a stern waitress. Orders place but be careful some of the set menu items resemble the main menu items - for example I ordered chicken satay only to find it was a chicken satay curry? and if i wanted satay on its own I paid extra. To be fair though it was pointed out to me when ordering.The starter of fried dumplings arrived in a plate with cut up lettuce 'scattered' on it - very poor on the presentation as was the whole meal to be honest. Maybe it was because it was the cheap(ish) set menu I dont know but over all we all thought at best it was mediocre service, mediocre food, mediocre restaurant.

We were staying in Stranraer for the night, and was recommended to go here. We are pleased we were. We had an enjoyable meal, very tasty. The staff were brilliant and so welcoming. The portions were very generous, but oh so did enjoy it

Worst take away in Stranraer- inedible wouldn't give it to the dogs. Delivery took ages, food luke-warm and order wrong, didn't matter though as was so bad we couldn't eat it anyway. Only ordered as Hong Kong City closed for 2 weeks. Never again.

Don't be put off by the location and exterior. Inside a friendly bar area opens to a spacious room with modern decor. Great Scottish service and excellent food. BEWARE the portions are very generous!

I felt sick after eating our first carryout. The staff inside were friendly enough but I had a chicken dish which was far too dry for anyones liking really.

The food is always great when sitting in but takeaway seems to be getting worse! I have the same thing when sitting in as I do when in takeaway, and it is like getting it from Two different restaurants!

At first we wondered if we had made the right choice of restaurant when we were seated in the bar for drinks and ordering! But don't let this put you off, when the food is ready you are taken to a more spacious area. The food is wonderful, very tasty, not overspiced, the vegetables are fresh, the portions are large. We enjoyed the meal more than ones we have had in Chinatown London or Birmingham. This is a real little gem and the residents of Stranraer are very lucky! We were just there for one night.

Went here for tea and everything was delicious the sweet and sour sauce was sublime. Would definitely reccomend for anyone and will be trying the takeaway also!

All dishes were presented well and tasted fresh service was exellent and a good atmosphere , Satay chicken was great

Entered the Sun Kai and was seated in a small where we thought we would be eating which looked a bit cramped. We got drinks and placed our order there and started to think this was going to be cozy as more patrons came in.Not to worry though, once our food was ready we were shown to a spacious table in a very well presented dining room.The food was GREAT. We both took the Sweet and Sour Chicken from the 3 course meal. Probably the best tasting version of this dish I've. Batter was thick and heavy and the sauce was perfect.Very friendly staff.at £25 for both of us including drinks you can't go wrong.

The Sun Kai in Stranraer is one of the best, if not the best, Chinese (Cantonese) restaurants I have been to. As soon as you enter you get a warm friendly welcome. A small bar and a comfy sitting area as you wait for your meal is available. The surroundings are warm and cosy. The staff are very friendly and ready to help you in any way. Oh and what a restaurant is for, the food is fantastic and cooked well. I live in Stranraer and can vouch for the food as they have a takeaway next door which I use quite often. It may be advisable to book at weekends as it is very popular.

We were two ageing fisheremen, hungry after a hard day in a wee boat in Luce Bay. We were staying in Stranraer, and had no idea where to go for a meal. We stumbled across the Sun Kai by accident. Welcome was good; service was good; meal was good; wine list pretty good. And the price was very reasonable. Would go again.

Recently moved into the area and am more than happy with both the service and standard of food in the Sun Kai. I will certainly be making it one of my regular haunts. Also very good value for money

The reviews of the Sun Kai were excellent ant it lived up to them in all respects. The efficient friendliness of the staff, the quality of the food and the price were all excellent. In fact it was one of the finest chines meals we have ever had. Thanks to all for making it a pleasant visit.

Sun Kai is the best Chinese food I've ever had. I'm American and the food was definitely far superior to anything you can get in California. My Fiancee and I go there once a week and they have learned our orders. When I asked about the tea, Maria (the owner) brought me a container to take with me and told me how to brew it at home. The people who work here are so friendly and nice and the food is fresh and flavorful. Right now I'm back in California and I really miss the Sun Kai. The chicken with Chili and salt is wonderful as well as the chicken with honey and chili. The Won Ton Soup has great flavor and the chicken toast is great. Everything is wonderful. Highly recommended. I really like how when you come in you sit in the entry way and have your drinks as they take your order and prepare your food, then they take you through to your table where prawn crackers are waiting and your starter is being brought to the table. All in all, a wonderful restaurant, with wonderful staff and wonderful food. The only downside is that it can sometimes get quite loud and as I really like a quiet atmosphere that can get to me, but that happens very rarely.

Stunning decor food was ok rice wasnt cooked enough for my liking some of the staff were lovely until i was serviced in the takeaway next door but the same onwer of the eat inn side tall girl with a tattoo on her finger very cheeky when we asked wot was in the chicken curry very rude will not be back not friendly at all really need to get better staff thats all we can say ..

We have visited Sun Kai many times over the years on visits to Scotland. We have always made a point of going there for a meal before boarding the ferry to Belfast, and did so again on May 5th.The early bird menu is extensive and the choice is, as always, difficult. We have always found the barbecued ribs too tempting not to have them as starter, and nearly always follow with a curry. The food is always tasty and arrives promptly, which is ideal when there is limited time to eat and be on time for the ferry.I'm sure we will make a return visit when next in Scotland.

After eating here on my last visit to Stranraer I was keen to go again, and yet again had an amazing meal! Very friendly staff, great food, nice chilled out environment. The only downside is we couldn't eat all of the food that came out. Can't wait to go back again!

Good value and always tasty food,usually able to get table any night of week, but advisable to reserve table on a Saturday night.

I actually find myself unable to eat from any of my local chinese takeaways after spending a few days in Stranraer. I can't put my finger on what it is, but the food is just amazing, crispy shredded chicken, is actually crispy, but not dry, and not soggy. The staff and owners are so warm, friendly and attentive. Where else in South West Scotland will you be able to order Szechuan frogs legs?? The reason I can't eat chinese from my local takeaways? It just doesn't taste so good any more when you know how good it could taste! Oh, and the lighting and decor??! That's a whole other review.....in short, great atmosphere!

Absolutely brilliant restaraunt, lovely staff, atmosphere quiet and romantic. The food from the 3 course £10.90 section is ok, but could be better, a little bit dry but still a nice place for a meal.

early bird menu excellent value for money where else can you get 3 course meal for 10.90 friendly staff and very clean the banana fritters are a must or maybe its just my sweet tooth but they are luah to finish your meal off .

4 star rating only because of provincial location - if this had been a big-city place would only have given it 3 stars. Pretty standard menu, very reasonable prices. Staff are great and food is tasty enough that I had no complaints. Just nothing really special about it.It is what it is and in unashamed about it which is fair enough.

Tucked away in a side street Sun Kai is well worth seeking out.Nice decor. Tasty food. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend !

Choc-a-bloc full of party kids, I had a reasonably quiet meal with family. The restaurant is quite small and has a well stocked bar. The food didn't really push my buttons and was average compared to similar restaurants. The others who give this 5 stars can't get around much.The staff are good although service an be slow if there are parties in. Menu was extensive and well presented.

I stayed away with work for 2 weeks and I choose to eat here several times as the food was so good and great value!
