New Sunflower

New Sunflower on Burton Road is one of Lincoln's longest-established Chinese takeaways, with customers reporting loyalty spanning more than two decades. Burton Road runs through the residential neighbourhood north-west of the city centre connecting the old town area around Burton Road and Newport to the inner suburb of St Giles, and the takeaway serves a well-settled local community that has sustained it across several ownership generations. Regulars single out the Mixed Meat Hot with King Do Sauce and the sweet-and-sour chicken as dishes the kitchen handles with particular confidence. With a Cantonese-British menu covering the expected range of fried rice, chow mein, crispy duck and set meals for two, it occupies a reliable mid-market position in a city with considerable Chinese takeaway competition. Most long-term customers order for collection, and the cheerful service from the kitchen team is mentioned repeatedly as a reason for continued loyalty.
