I would say charge more but you have done that to…….. me & my husband was left starving with our meal that usually feels us both up. Sorry to say we won’t be coming again portion size is terrible……… go back to the tubs you used to use there was no complaints………”

    “Used to go to golden for years but had a few bad meals so changed. Decided to give them another go and what a mistake. Food was cold and the sweet and sour sauce was horrid and lacked a sweet or sour taste. Never again what a waste of £25.”

    “Golden boat for the last 6 months I’ve seen so much change to the food quality and size what’s going on? I know your a business and need to earn money but you have cut back on everything Why is food being filled incredibly smaller tubs I would say it’s at least half the size as your old tubs (very crafty) we have measured this so it’s facts? there a quite a few reviews saying the same things we can’t all be wrong can we? do you not take note of your paying customers or just don’t care ?”

    “Well this Chinese has upped the price and made the food shrink. Your curry’s are only big enough for 1 person now. Any other curry house around 5 mile location has bigger take away pots that you can share with another person but yours have got very very smaller. Works out a very expensive Chinese due to them shrinking portion sizes be aware ………”

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers split sharply, and the most repeated complaint is shrinking portions. Several say the curries and tubs are now much smaller than before, with one regular saying a meal that used to fill two people left them hungry and another saying the curries now only suit one person. Delivery is the second recurring problem. One reviewer describes an order of plain chow mein arriving with vegetables despite a note about an allergy, followed by a rude exchange and a refund delayed until a manager was available. Another saw callers chasing orders that were an hour late while drivers chatted at the counter. Food quality draws complaints too: a sweet and sour sauce lacking sweetness or sourness, and one order where the rice, chicken chow mein and chicken balls were all dry. Praise centers on the salt and pepper chicken, called the best Chinese food one reviewer has had, along with a beef chow mein, shredded beef, BBQ ribs and spring rolls that arrived hot ten minutes after ordering. One reviewer also calls the staff and the boss lovely, and another praises a delivery driver who apologised and chatted with their daughter.
