No apologies or anything just constant mixed messages, really unhappy and will not be ordering again.

I have to confess this is the only Chinese restaurant that we use in Lincoln. It far exceeds the…read moreother ones that I've visited in the area in every way - food, service, value for money. We're pretty familiar with the menu, and can personally recommend the spring rolls as appetisers - they are, without exception, always hot, flavoursome and delicious. Similarly, the chicken and cashew nuts in yellow bean sauce (in a birds nest) is a favourite, and the beef with mushrooms is a regular dish in our order. That's not to say the other food isn't excellent - it always is. The staff are attentive and friendly, and will usually respond to any special requests. However, we have always found Friday and Saturday nights to be a bit too busy for us, when the staff are whizzing around serving the large number of covers. However, that said, we do take our young son with us, and if we were with adult friends or just as a couple, it would probably not matter at all to us. Can't really think of anything there is to dislike about the Phoenix. The toilets are clean, the beer is cold and the food really hits the spot. Well worth a visit.

Pass on the Apps, enjoy the ramen…read more The service was nice and the location was bomb - great views of the water. We started out with juice and multiple appetizers. The juice was solid, but the apps were terrible. We had multiple dumplings, and the texture/taste of them all was chewy and not flavorful- far from my expectations based on their looks. So, I was concerned for my Ramen. However, the Ramen was fantastic- great broth, noodles, and fillings. I did the rich broth and a side of chilies- I was pretty happy with that choice as it allowed me to vary the spice level. Good place, just skip the dumplings.

Finally settled in our seats eating food that is at most satisfactory, we was asked by someone who seemed to me staff to move tables as a party was booked. Reluctantly we moved and then discovered it was a customer that asked us as the restaurant messes up his partys reservation. For the next 10mins balloons was hitting us and our food on the table, the final straw was a fire alarm going off and a chef came over and said its fine there is not a fire. We had enough and decided to leave. We spoke to the staff at the till to get a refund as this was ridiculous, they phoned there manager who was not there and we was denied a refund as it wasn't a food issue. The staff to be fair wanted to give a refund but made out they couldn't. Either way I've left my details at the store and tried to email. I will get ignored but I wont be returning and will advise everyone else not to go. A restaurant which recently got a 1* hygine rating ( look it up) i would expect to turn it around and also make a customers experience good. I will add we had about half a plate of food in this time and was still denied even a partial refund. Avoid and I hope they get closed down for there poor standards

What they don't tell you is, if you do not eat all the food, they charge you £5 a head because you left food!!! We couldn't finish our dishes on the second round because we were so full and they charged us for it!! Even though they had saved money because we couldn't have the 3rd round!! Also we asked if we could take it away with us and they said no you have to eat it all here! So we paid £80 for £30 worth of dishes and got charged for not eating all out food. I couldn't believe it, day light robbery.

Just off the wharf front, it's upstairs (or a lift) behind an unprepossessing red frontage. Decor is somewhat spartan and uninspiring however the service and food was great. Other tables were filled with what looked like satisfied regulars also enjoying this hidden gem. I had an excellent (huge) braised pork dish other family members all enjoyed their beef chow mein, chicken with ginger and sweet and sour pork restively. Bill very reasonable. Food wise, the best Chinese I've had outside of London.

Spoke to the guys at the counter and they told me that new management took over around 2013. So that might explain it. I prefer to order a collection and I arrive at the shop around 20 minutes later to pick it up. The food is fresh and smells wonderful! Sometimes I nick a few chips out the bag when I'm in the car, just can't help it. Delivery is ok but when it gets super busy e.g. saturday nights around 6-8pm delivery time can be around an hour because they currently (I believe) have only one delivery driver. So I'd ask on the phone how long collection might be. Collection time is usually half the time of delivery, plus I save money on the delivery charge (esp. when I'm at my friends and we're a few villages away). The delivery charge goes directly to the driver anyways so I can't tip the chefs who actually cook the food at the door even if I wanted to.
