Buffet boxes are excellent value for money,lots of variety and they definitely do not skimp on the portions when filling the boxes up for you. For £5-£6 this is brilliant. Sometimes the buffet food isn't the warmest but a quick 2 mins in the microwave sorts that out. I love the chips from this Chinese as they are homemade and taste absolutely delicious. I have always had great food from here. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is that if you phone here for a delivery or to place an order for collection,there is one girl who literally says "anything else for you" after you say every single item and it can be kind of off putting.

Banquet box. Go large or go home!

Best Chinese in Carrickfergus!! The banquet boxes are amazing. Quick service both in store and for delivery. Also recommend their Singapore chow mein!

Best wee Chinese in carrick! Conveniently located, clean, quick service and stacks of parking. Portions are massive and great range available. Banquet box is the best and they're not shy about packing it out.

Some of a large buffet box, chips, rice, curry, salted chilli chicken, rib, sausage, chicken ball...beaut!

Still waiting for my refund. Hopefully their takings are down a bit as everybody I know has stopped using it

Wowser, what a restaurant! The Water Margin is right up there on my list of favourite places to…read moreeat, having been there for romantic dinners with the husband before he became the husband and for a very raucous birthday party at which the husband insisted on singing. Before the karoke machine was turned on. The setting is spectacular - this is a large building right on the edge of the River Bann, so ask when you are booking for a window table and you'll have a stunning view as you eat and drink. The interior of the restaurant is just as impressive - a large, high ceiling room with a giant chandelier in the centre. So, what about the food? It certainly lives up to the setting. I would describe this as upmarket Chinese food rather than the kind of place to grab your Friday night sweet and sour. The prices reflect the setting and the quality and for special occasions I am more than happy to pay them. On our last visit I had satay chicken skewers and seaweed, both of which were top notch. I than had shredded chilli beef which I also loved, and the husband had king prawns in yellow bean sauce which I felt obliged to try and also really liked. We had side orders of special fried rice and noodles and I could have eaten either of these on their own. I was pleased to see that there is a tea time special menu at £9.95 for 3 courses which is outstanding value given the quality of food and the lovely service you get. Can't wait until the next time we go back.

Eat here quite a bit and can't complain about anything. The food and service is excellent. I'd…read morerecommend anyone passing through to call in and try it. They do a shoppers special which is great value too

After the sad demise of my old curry house on High Street in Bangor several years ago, it's too…read morehard to even type the name, I set about looking for a new Chinese to fulfill the duty of being my ritual Sunday evening hangover remedy and having tried easily 7 different ones, I decided The Phoenix was it. The food in the Phoenix is about as good as you are going to get in Bangor and pretty competitive in their pricing with a chicken curry with fried rice/ soft noodlesd (free prawn crackers) being delivered for £6.10, and their delivery drivers are nice guys and I have never had to phone up and ask where a delivery is...! Pretty extraordinary if you ask me. Their curry is the only reason I go here if I am being honest and it is best thing on their menu...! Although I have it on very good authority the chow mein and black bean sauce and kung-po chicken are also worthy competitors. Their portions are also huge and their rice and noddles don't come in the usual silver tin packages that most Chinese restaurants use but the same bigger plastic cartons that the mains come in. I usually go for a delivery but over Christmas was here with a large party and they put is in a back room that was great and gave us some privacy, and meant other diners in main restaurant didn't have to listen to us! The owner is a lovely woman always smiling and happy to help and she even delivers sometime late in the evening! Phoenix also do a buffet during the day now but also offer a deal on their normal lunch menu that's £5.95 for a starter, main and dessert being served 6 days a week. This one better not shut down now...!

This is by far the best Chinese in County Down…read more They have crispy lamb served in lettuce leaf a starter, beaten only by moo-choo pork, garlic salted chilli cod (or monkfish) and their special curry and seafood hotpot are the best mains around Sally and Stella are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble
