About Golden Flower
On Lochside Rd in Dumfries, Golden Flower is a Chinese takeaway serving the neighborhood on a walk-in basis. The set meal for 2 covers spring rolls, fried rice and prawn crackers, alongside individually ordered dishes like chicken curry and sweet and sour chicken balls. Chips with curry sauce also appear on the menu for those wanting a non-Chinese option alongside their order. Food is packed out in plastic containers for collection, with no reservation process involved, customers simply walk in and order at the counter. The range stays close to standard takeaway staples, with fried rice a frequent component of orders alongside the curry and chicken ball dishes. It suits straightforward pick-up orders rather than a sit-down visit.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often take issue with the main dishes, especially the curries and chicken. The special curry is described as thin and topped with a layer of oil, or as leathery pork and beef, and another reviewer found the curry lacking flavour. Sweet and sour chicken balls and crispy chicken are called hard, chewy or raw, and the BBQ ribs very hard and very salty. Fried rice draws repeated complaints of being dry, soggy or tasting reheated, and the chow mein is called slimy or burnt. A longtime regular says the set meal for two got pricier, with tiny spare ribs, one spring roll instead of two and extra charges for swaps. Mixed-up orders come up too: chips arriving under curry sauce, missing items sent back after everyone had finished eating, and one reviewer describes undercooked salt and pepper king prawn. Praise is smaller but specific: prawn crackers, spring rolls, pineapple fritters and soup, and a few call the staff friendly and the service quick. One reviewer says the set meal for two could feed three or four.

“The meal for 2 was a lot, easily feed 3 perhaps 4, curry lacked real flavour but that's just my opinion, the spring rolls were awesome. Would use again.”

“We hadnt been to this Chinese Take Away in a while, as our usual one was closed on Glasgow Street. I ordered beef curry with chips. And a sweet and sour chicken balls with chips and fried rice. When i got home and opened everything up, we had chips with curry sauce on top. And although the sweet and sour chicken was nice, prawn crackers excellent, the fried rice had a texture of a reheat. Very disappointed. 😌”
