  “Absolutely shocking experience here tonight. Stay away from this awful place! Walked in as a family of five this evening. Two adults and 3 children. Our 12 year old twin daughter was immediately discriminated against for being 5cm taller than her twin sister. We were told because she was taller than her twin despite being age 12 she had to pay £30 adult prices. We stood there in absolute shock. Looked around to see the restaurant completely dead just one couple sat there. I wonder if that is because of this ridiculous rule on height. Or the 1 star food rating!! Yes 1 star food rating. To discriminate against a child for being taller than her twin is disgraceful. There is no way she could have eaten an adults meal and should be classed as the child she is. By the staff refusing her as a child and discriminating against her for being taller you upset and embarrassed her. Both the twins have autism and did not understand what was going on. We paid anyway and found a table. 40 empty tables to choose from. So we went to the back of the restaurant to be chased down by the only member of staff and removed of the table because it at 8 chairs. At this point we got a full refund and walked out. Disgraceful way to treat a family you should be ashamed of the treatment we endured.”

  “Exceptional establishment offering outstanding cuisine and value for money. The premises are beautifully decorated, spacious and spotless clean. Adaptations make it accommodating for all forms of ability needs. The cuisine is offered in 2 forms. Weekends are all you can eat, self service from the buffet style station and weekdays are all you can eat, choosing from a menu and served direct from kitchen to table. Prices are charged per head. The food is exceptional, unique and authentic. Portion sizes are very generous. The staff are attentive, polite and professional. A wonderful selection of drinks are available, both soft and alcoholic. I highly recommend this restaurant and can confidently offer 5*”

  “A little kindness costs nothing, yet it can make a huge difference to someone's day. Unfortunately, my experience here had the opposite effect. I arrived already feeling low, hoping this outing would help, but I left feeling far worse. No customer should be made to feel so unwelcome or insignificant. The staff at takeway shop were cold, dismissive at the takeway shop. and lacked even the most basic warmth or kindness. When I politely asked someone to repeat themselves because I couldn't hear, I was ignored completely, which made me feel embarrassed and foolish. Rather than being treated with patience and respect, I felt like I was an inconvenience. I sincerely hope the management addresses the attitude of the staff, because the way customers are treated matters just as much as the food.”

  “I came to place my food order and the lovely lady who took my order I felt extremely sorry for. She was busy on phone trying to sort something out .the chinese man who I suspect is the owner was very rude to her whilst she was on the phone. Screaming shouting and swearing at her . It was so unprofessional of him. Telling her to take an order when she was already on phone. She said she was already taking an order. He treats his staff disgusting. I wont go there again. The food was dry and tasteless.”

  “Outstanding. First time coming here yesterday and it was great. Parking was accessible and easy. Restaurant staff were very polite and friendly. Food choice was varied and it was all very good. Dessert selection was far above what I've experienced from other buffets of this type. Atmosphere was quiet and relaxing with lovely interior decor. Only negative for future improvement was not all the king prawns were deveined as they should be before serving but still 5* overall and will be back 🙂.”

  “What a difference to 2 years ago. ordered chicken and chips from the golden gate whilst having a meal at a friends house. The chicken and chips were also too bad too eat. The chicken didn't look right and smelt off.The chips were dry and tough and looked like they had been standing in the warmer tray for ages. Won't be ordering again”

  “First visit as recommended but sadly didn't meet expectations. Place is done out beautiful and modern and was spotlessly clean. Walked in and was asked to pay straight away which was a little odd but OK and asked what drinks we wanted which was a bit awkward as stood there holding up others waiting to come in so quickly just ordered cokes as not sure what was available. We booked in not long after opening hoping the food was fresh and hot as buffets can be hit and miss and unfortunately this was a miss for £22.99 each. Selection seemed to be good at first but I was barely warm all of it. Duck and the chicken satay was dry and rubbery with no taste all the flavour was from the sauces the Cantonese style chicken was probably the best but again barely warm. We don't expect buffets to be pipping hot as you know what your going it to but food was just not nice at that temperature or texture . Chocolate fountain with Marshmallows and aldi snicker bars and mawams for the kids and sweets. Overall disappointed which is sad as we were really looking for a nice local Chinese . Toilets were set out a bit strange aswell you walk through the men's wash basin area to get to the ladies nothing bad but just strange.”

  “Possibly the tastiest Chinese ever. I went on.a Monday evening in February. Early. There was no one else in. They have a nice car park and an outdoor seating area that is very quaint. The place has s restaurant entrance and a take away entrance. The decor is superb with lots of bright lighting and. Classy looking cutlery , table clothes and plates. The menu was s double sided menu that you marked on with a board marker and handed to the waitress. She was very polite and attended in good time. I had Chinese green tea which turned out to be free. Prawn crackers also. The hot and spicy soup was large in size , plenty of taste and quite spicy ! The prawn dumplings were great although I ask for some soy sauce to add a little texture. The mixed udon noodles were really tasty with every part of the dish tasty and perfect texture from the slices of beef to the squid. Again s good sized portion. Words cannot describe the wide range of flavours and textures. It was perfect. Possibly one of the best Chinese meals I have had. I will be back, you should go.”

  “always have a good service everytime we eat here. the food is lovely, big portion and reasonable price. always accommodating if you have something to ask for. you can get sharer platters too.. and if you're not able to finish your food you can ask for it to take it home. the place is always clean. few booths if you want reservation and decent amount of tables around. the outside also have table and chairs for summer evenings or just waiting for your take aways to be done. ample parking space which is great.”

  “Lovely Chinese restaurant. Very nice decor and food. Just the service a bit slow. We had to find a Waitress to order, nobody came to us if we wanted order any drinks and once the bring your food, they forget about you. Overall it's been a nice evening. With some more attention and focus on customers, it could be e great restaurant.”
