Quick info
About Golden River
Golden River is a Chinese takeaway on Chilton Way in Dover, working on a walk-in and phone-order basis with orders placed and confirmed over the line. Fried rice gets a section of its own, six versions led by the Golden River Special Rice and running through Singapore style, roast duck and king prawn. The wider menu reaches 79 dishes, so choosing takes a little time, and it covers crispy aromatic duck served ready shredded alongside pancake rolls, chilli chicken wings and sweet and sour special mixed balls. The kitchen takes requests, adding heat to a dish or leaving mushrooms out, when you call the order through. Opening runs Tuesday to Sunday in the evenings only, with Mondays closed. Christmas Eve brings a high volume of orders through the counter.
