Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise hot, fresh food in large portions, with the chicken chow mein and chips described by one diner as the best they had ever tasted, alongside a mixed grill, an ice cold bottle of Peroni and prawn crackers. Several call the staff friendly and attentive, and one says nothing seemed too much trouble. Others describe the food as inexpensive and tasty, with lots of choices, though one notes there is no pre theatre menu. A phone order arriving quickly after opening also earns praise. The complaints are fewer but specific. One diner found the roast duck with pancakes bland, the salt and pepper chicken pale and not properly fried, the BBQ ribs dry, and the crispy shredded chilli beef neither crispy nor spicy, with only the rice and prawn crackers having any flavour. Another found a second visit lacking salt, with old chicken, and described the counter service as rude. One group of eight enjoyed their meal, and some of them went back the next night.

“The Asian woman behind the counter was very rude and unpleasant. I went twice; the first time the food wasn't bad, but the second time it lacked salt and the chicken was clearly old—it wasn't fresh.”

“Absolutely first class! Service fantastic,very pleasant professional attentive staff. Restaurant warm, beautiful decorated and very comfortable. Food...TOP NOTCH! My husband had a mixed grill and chips, I had the chicken chow mein (standard one)...Wow, the food was cooked to perfection. My chow mein and chips was the BEST I had ever tasted! My husband was delighted with his meal too. Fresh ingredients, large portions made to order, piping hot with a Ice Cold bottle of Peroni and prawn crackers! We will definitely return when back in Dumfries... 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
