    The New Dragon isn't fine dining and never claimed to be, but if you're out with family or friends…read moreand fancy a Chinese meal then I'd say you should give the New Dragon a go. Their staff are friendly, polite and great with kids. Their food is tasty and the portion sizes are decent too. It's not an expensive meal and you'll leave feeling satisfied.

    The New Dragon-Dumfries…read more This used to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Dumfries. Over the last 2-3 years it has got steadily worse. However today I can honestly say this was the worst dining experience I have ever experienced anywhere. I was dining with two friends and during our main course the waitress asked my friend if our meals were OK. He replied that his was and as I was about to comment on how tasteless mine was off she ran. Anyway, I ate about half the meal and when the dishes were cleared I commented about the tasteless & bland meal. The waitress said she would pass the message on and said someone would come out to speak to us. A few minutes later a larger young lady wearing an apron came out and upon my saying what the problem was, was given the response in an incredibly aggressive manner that I should of complained during our meal (I tried) and that I had ate half of it. And continued to be loud and frankly rude in a dining room with other customers in it. With that I said I'd rather speak to the owner given her attitude to which she replied 'I am not giving you attitude'. I left my table to speak to the owner who quite rightly told her to go back to the kitchen. However she still stood around giving it large about how I ate half the meal and she would go into the restaurant to get other diners to say she wasn't aggressive. Unsurprisingly she didn't find any of the other diners willing to stand up for her. I couldn't believe she even had the nerve to ask. The final icing on the cake was the owners lack of customer service. After that display by her employee I'd of at the very least not charged for the unsatisfactory meal. Absolutely disgusting customer service and food. The owner should look at some of the review sites and recent posts.

    I thought I had found the best takeaway in Ayr the last time I visited this place…read more Wow - was I wrong. Don't misunderstand me. The Lucky Star is a stunning Fish and Chips takeaway but the Eighty 8 is dishing out a level of quality I have not seen for a while. The Lucky Star is also a mighty trek from the city centre and I had to catch a train. First off a disclaimer. I found this place after being at the Ayrshire Whisky Festival. So, was I slightly pissed? Oh Yes. But despite this, I will share my opinion. I am a pain in the butt when it comes to Chinese Food. I like particular dishes. Always have. I always order Singapore Rice Vermicelli. It is really a melange of cuisine with Rice Noodles, Curry, Seafood, CharSui Pork and Chinese Vegetables. Most places cannot make it. They screw it up. Noodles are too thick, the pork is wrong, they mess up the spices, etc etc. The Eighty 8 pulled it off perfectly. Great heat, enough curry, great mix of ingredients. Wow. Too bad it is in bloody Ayr or I would be back - a lot. So, get yourself down here. I would phone ahead or you will have a 30 minute wait ahead of you. The fact that they takes longer usually means the staff uses fresher ingredients. I am always suspicious of places that can churn out a dish in under 4 minutes. It makes me think that some corners are cut and some things are pre-made and microwaved. The dishes from the Eighty 8 hit a bar that I have not seen reached for a very long time. Congrats.

    Good take away...its one of the best in ayr. The food is always hot on arrival, and arrives very…read morequickly. The taste is sublime. The variety of chinese dishes is very vast and everything we as a family have tried has been delicious. A must try. Great value for money.
