About Golden Star

One menu at Golden Star covers both Chinese dishes and English chip-shop food, and the Chinese takeaway on Barlow Moor Road in Manchester runs it from a single counter. Orders are placed at the till, where the team talks customers through the options, and the business is run as a family operation with the same faces serving. Payment is cash only, so it is worth arriving prepared. Dishes reviewers order include salt and pepper spare ribs, sweet and sour chicken, and crispy chicken in chilli sauce, with fried rice alongside. Portions come large. There are no reservations, just walk-in service at the counter. It opens in the evenings from Monday to Sunday, with Tuesdays closed.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the friendly staff behind the counter, describing them as polite, happy to help with the menu and willing to accommodate special requests. Close behind are the large portions and fresh food, with several saying the quality beats other Chinese takeaways in the area and one calling it a favourite over every chippy in Chorlton. Both the English and Chinese dishes get praise, and one reviewer says delivery is quick and arrives piping hot. Another notes the takeaway is cash only. The criticism is sharper but less frequent. One reviewer found the salt and pepper spare ribs to be bones covered in batter with no meat, and called the fried rice and crispy chicken in chili sauce average. Another found the sweet and sour chicken part hot and part cold, as if microwaved, with a sauce that had no real taste. Even so, most reviews close on the same detail: a friendly person at the till who helps with the menu.

    “Not the best sweet and sour chicken. Food was part hot and part cold as if it has been microwaved and not freshly cooked. The sweet and sour sauce had no real taste and not to my standard. Wont be going back. Not worth spending my good hard earned money.”
