Make sure you time it right though, as at weekend evenings the queue can be out the door, which says all you need to know!

I was really looking forward to my meal tonight but very disappointed…read more The counter staff and delivery drivers are lovely but the 2 owners are very rude. I collected my Chinese and when I got it home it was wrong. I ordered sweet and sour prawns but it came without the sauce. So I went back up for it and they seen me waiting and where in no rush to give me it. I had to shout down to the girl to hurry up and give me the sauce because my dinner was at home getting cold. I didn't even get an apology. Safe to say I won't be back

I know I'm indescisive, but my mind ain't being changed about this any time soon. It's such a nice, big, cosy Chinese restaurant. The staff are super friendly, and like to fling a few sweeties or fortune cookies your way (just be sure to catch them). The food is beautiful (I love their black bean sauce) and the atmosphere is really pleasant; comfortable and relaxing. A few years ago a large group of us (happily accomodated by the friendly waiters without a booking) were out for a friend's birthday and having an absolute blast while we were at it. Unbeknown to us, a sudden, unpredicted and very heavy flurry of snow had been settling outside. I have such fond memories of that night...and I do love snow. I'll let you into a wee secret which i learnt while I was at school in the nearby vicinity. The restaurant opens for takeaway orders between 12 noon and 2pm, and for £2 (it may have gone up slightly since I left) you got either noodles, chips or rice with a sauce of your choice. Bargain. I still love Mandarin City. See, I told you so.

I am not so much of a fan for this restaurant. To be honest I find it a little bit pretentious and…read moreunwelcoming. That being said it is very popular and is always packed whenever I've been there, but I do not really understand why. I think their food is Ok, but just Ok. Every-time I have eaten there my belly is definitely satisfied with the food but I always find that I didn't really enjoy it what I had and I always feel it is a little overpriced when It comes time to pay. I would only really go here if I was with friends who wanted to go. I don't think it really compares on a flavor factor with other chinese restaurants in the area. It is really nice and ambient inside and it can cater very well for large groups with big round tables, but thats about the best of what it has to offer for me.

A couple of Friday nights ago we were forced to break from tradition when we couldn't get through…read moreon the phone to our usual Chinese takeaway. Now I admit that we always always always order from the same takeaway and love it, so maybe we were never going to be impressed by the Lucky Fortune. We went for the Lucky Fortune because it is close to where we live which probably isn't the best method for choosing a take away and I think it's safe to say that we won't be tempted to go back. I ordered chicken in Peking sauce while the husband went for beef and cashew nuts. The sauce they came in were from opposite ends of the sauce spectrum and neither was particularly good. The Peking sauce was an alarming red colour which must be hard to achieve with natural ingredients while the beef and cashews were in a thin bland kind of gravy. There were plenty of cashews though which some restaurants skimp on. Both dishes were bulked out by onions and carrots which always gets right up my nose. Not literally obviously, but it does really annoy me. We managed to eat most of it, so it wasn't really bad, it just wasn't particularly good either. The boiled rice was fine, but then how could you get that wrong and the noodles and bean sprouts were a bit oily. Call me fussy, but at the start of the weekend, my takeaway has to be good. I get quite tetchy otherwise so for the sake of my family, I think I'll stick to my usual take away.

I've been to a fair few Chinese takeaways in my life, and I've seen them all. The good, the bad and…read morethe darn right ugly. Every Friday night, when I was younger, my dad and I would go and fetch the weekly Chinese. Then we moved house, and we'd do the same thing. Nowadays, this tradition has somewhat deteriorated, but King's Court is definitely our fave, having tried most of the other Chinese takeaways in Dundonald, a couple in Holywood, and a good few in East Belfast. Reasonably priced, King's Court is a friendly, cheerful restaurant / takeaway. They're always super quick, and the food is great. We've never had a complaint about the chicken with green pepper and black bean sauce, or an issue with our chow mein. It's straightforward, tasty Chinese food (as far as straightforward, tasty Chinese food goes over here anyway). The only minor blip we had was when we ordered a delivery one night (the football was on...), and the delivery man forgot the prawn crackers. I was not a happy bunny, and was onto King's Court immediately. They were extremely apologetic, as was the delivery man when he eventually arrived 20 minutes later. Of course, by that stage we'd finished our meal and now had a huge bag of prawn crackers. Ah well. Still, we do love King's Court, and I reckon it'll be a firm fave for many years to come.

A party of four of us shared mixed vegetables in satay sauce, black bean sauce, chips and rice. All the food was beautiful, with the satay sauce especially flavoursome and spicy.

When ordering takeaway, they usually throw you in a few free cans of soft drink. Take care when ordering by phone, as the guy who answers tends to rush a bit to get off the phone. Asking for a quick confirmation of your order is a simple way to avoid any problems. One thing have to say about this restaurant, is that it is slightly expensive for Chinese food. Otherwise, is it a good call if you are about the Ardglass area.

I'd forgotten that I don't particularly like items bearing the name "curry" in a Chinese restaurant and so regretted my choice but was still determined to explore further.
