Dragon & Phoenix

We have ordered from this Chinese Takeaway for a few years and although we have our favourites the standard has been very good overall . We used to order the 5 dishes for £14 and although smaller portions than the main menu was good value for money and allowed 2 people a nice selection they have stopped doing this offer back in 2019 . We still order from the main menu now but just have a couple of dishes and a rice between us and if we have starved ourselves have quarter of crispy duck to share but you have to be really hungry . Beef in green pepper with blackbean sauce has always been awesome . My Wife like the Prawn Balls ( big prawn dipped in batter and deep fried ) We normally share quarter of crispy duck with pancakes hoisin sauce and cucumber and Chinese spring onion . The Yung Chow fried rice is excellent fluffy tender tasty rice full of small pieces of meat char sui , chicken , beef , small prawns or shrimps big long foil tub full to the brim for £5.80 sounds a lot for rice but a meal in itself . Had the offer boxes as well prawn balls with special mix rice comes in a large chippy polystyrene box and the Chilli Ribs with egg fried rice comes with a portion of chopped fried onions and chilli that was a little bit hot for me so I just ate the rice and ribs . Only time I was disappointed ordered duck in plum sauce and it came like a chicken escallop it has been flattened out quite thin egg wash rolled in breadcrumbs then pan fried or quick deep fry sliced then the sauce poured on top . Every other place it's just been simply a duck breast with skin pan fried sliced and sauce . It was ok well cooked and edible but just not right for me just be his they make it would not order that specific dish again . Overall we are very happy ordering from here the standard of the food is good no noticible difference between orders if you order beef in green pepper in black been sauce it's tasted the same year after year and delivery has been fine even though we are 2.6miles away even when busy normally at max an hour wait usually about 40-45 minutes .
