About Golden Star
On Lingfield Crescent, Golden Star is a Chinese takeaway with a vegetarian range built around mock duck, mock fish, and mock chicken, prepared in styles such as Kung Po mock fish and crispy mock duck with pancakes. Alongside these sit crispy shredded beef and salt and pepper ribs, with special fried rice as a common side. Sweet and sour chicken balls are ordered as a portion of ten, and prawn on toast rounds out the regular selection. The counter operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. When an order arrives incomplete, the missing item has been redelivered promptly rather than requiring a full remake.

Customer Review Summary
Regulars return to Golden Star for the crispy shredded beef, with the special fried rice, salt and pepper ribs and prawn on toast close behind. Several describe consistently good food over years of ordering, large portions, friendly staff and quick delivery. A vegetarian reviewer singles out the extensive meat-free choices, including mock duck, mock fish and mock chicken, praising the Kung Po mock fish for its kick and the crispy mock duck with pancakes, while wishing for veggie dim sum. The complaints are serious but few. One reviewer reports sweet and sour chicken balls that were undercooked and pink, and says staff insisted this was normal when called. Another describes a delivery that took over two hours, with near-empty mini vegetable spring rolls, oily chicken balls and a chewy crispy chilli chicken. By contrast, one reviewer notes a missing item from an order arrived within minutes, with no fuss.

“Great tasting food! Definitely cooked by an experienced chef! Best prawn on toast around by far and the other dishes tasted fresh and good vegetables options. Would recommend”

“I'm part Chinese and veggie and was super impressed with this place, I don't normally rate Chinese take outs. Only found out about it bc they popped a leaflet through the door. Loads of veggie options - mock duck, fish and chicken, and you could pretty much pick any preparation you want. Had the Kung Po mock fish and had a good kick to it, as it should do, and the crispy mock duck with pancakes was also fab 👌🏾 Will be ordering again soon and trying the many options. The only thing missing is veggie dim sum and veggie hor fun 😅”
