Sunkai Chinese Takeaway

Sunkai is one of Stranraer's long-running family-run Cantonese takeaways, set on Queen Street a short walk from George Street and the central waterfront of the Wigtownshire town. The shop has been in the same family for years and trades as a counter-and-collection takeaway with no in-house dining — the standard small-town Scottish-Cantonese model.

The menu is broad British-Cantonese — chow mein, fried rice and noodle dishes, sweet-and-sour, curry, black-bean and Cantonese-style sauces over chicken, beef, pork and king prawn, salt-and-pepper dishes, crispy aromatic duck served with pancakes, and a set-meal section pairing starters and mains for one or two. Reviewer call-outs include the fried-rice dishes, the prawn dishes and the curry sauces. Vegetarian options run across noodles, rice and the standard sauce range.

Stranraer is small enough that the few Chinese takeaways have a real local following — Sunkai sits within the historic town centre and serves the wider Stranraer and Loch Ryan catchment as part of the evening takeaway market.
