About Golden Bowl
Golden Bowl is a Chinese takeaway at 6 Newgate in Beccles, where food is prepared for collection. The kitchen cooks salt and pepper chicken, Singapore noodles with king prawns and chicken chow mein. Payment is cash only and card payments are not accepted, so every order is settled in cash. Collection typically takes around 25 minutes, though busy nights bring a longer wait because phone orders are prioritised. Chips are served alongside the Chinese dishes.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken and salt and pepper squid draw the warmest praise, with reviewers calling the chicken not dry or oily and the squid lovely and crispy. Close behind, Singapore noodles with king prawns and the vegetarian and king prawn curries are called tasty and not greasy. Several mention large portions and food that arrives piping hot, including at a lodge a short drive away, and one praises friendly delivery drivers. Complaints centre on timing and accuracy. One reviewer cancelled a delivery after waiting well past the promised slot with no new time given, another describes a wait at the counter while phone orders and deliveries went first, and a third reports the wrong dishes arriving twice, chicken and beansprouts instead of chicken curry. Others found the beef in ginger and spring onion lacking both, the chow mein tasting of flour, and the sweet and sour sauce pale with fried rice cold on one side. Several note the shop is cash only, and one found the directions to a cashpoint vague. Chips earn a nod even from a critical reviewer, who called them pleasantly tasty.

“Yet again we had the wrong delivery twice! we had them read back over the phone what we wanted to make sure it didn’t happen again and still we got chicken & beansprouts does that sound like chicken curry no onions with green peppers?Pissed off new road beccles never again, bleeding useless awful just awful service”

“Beef in ginger and spring onion...without ginger and spring onion,just sliced onion.a container of a sauce that barely covered the bottom of the pot,so couldnt say what it was.chicken chow mein that tasted of flour and nothing else. They should of cut the end user out and cooked it then threw it straight in the bin,which is what we did...moral of the story I guess is don't be lazy and cook something tasty at home..”

“A quiet Bank Holiday evening and I ordered two dishes, advised it was cash only. Asked where the nearest cashpoint was (it was as though this question had rarely been asked before?) vague directions to go either left or right outside [NB Tesco ATM is a short walk away]. The food arrived slowly, but was good.”

“Absolutely disgusting wait! Nearly an hour because they were taking phone orders and prioritising their deliveries. 2 orders taken after waiting 20 minutes then handed out before us! No apologies, and quite rude. If I hadn't paid cash ( they don't allow card payments or refund) I'd have left and cancelled the payment. AVOID IF NOT USING DELIVERY UNLESS YOOU CAN WASTE AN HOUR! Not using them again.”
- Stuart Hume
“Staying at Waveney River Centre so first time we've tried this place, probably one of the best takeaways we've had. Food was delicious, piping hot even when we got back to the lodge (15 mins away). Service was great too, only 25 min wait on a Friday night. I highly recommend 👌🏻”
