About Golden Bird

Golden Bird is a Chinese takeaway on Link Rd in Northampton, open daily and only in the evenings. Orders are placed at the counter, and the kitchen works through the familiar takeaway range. The house fried noodles sit alongside chicken curry and shredded chilli beef, and egg fried rice, chicken balls, spring rolls and chips fill out the rest of the order. Waiting times can run long, so some customers phone ahead before they collect. The shop is at 8 Link Rd.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise food that arrives hot and tasty, with several calling it piping hot whether collected or delivered. Delivery earns credit for arriving within the quoted time and for a friendly driver, and one reviewer who phoned ahead had the call answered straight away. Chicken curry and chicken balls are singled out as good, and one regular describes great flavour. Value divides opinion. Prices run a little above nearby Chinese takeaways, which some accept because the food is always good, while a longtime customer cites rising costs, smaller portions and lower quality. The specific complaints are cold egg fried rice with no sign of egg, undercooked chips, missing spring rolls, and house fried noodles with undercooked meat and rice and overboiled vegetables. One reviewer also describes raised voices from behind the kitchen curtain while waiting at the counter. Another found a shredded chilli beef portion only about three-quarters full.
