  After the sad demise of my old curry house on High Street in Bangor several years ago, it's too hard 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...!
