Customer Review Summary
Late or missing delivery orders are the most common complaint. Four reviewers describe orders placed through delivery apps that arrived very late or not at all, with the restaurant phone unanswered or the voicemail full, and one says a shop full of people was stuck in the same situation with no way to cancel. Others see it differently. A four-year regular reports quick delivery, polite phone staff and no bad orders, and another says food arrives sooner than expected, with free crackers included. Chicken chow mein gets mixed reactions. One diner likes it alongside the chicken fried rice and the lack of peas and mushrooms, while another found it mostly onion and beansprout with little chicken, though the chicken balls were the upside. Two reviewers mention too few prawns for the price. One reports a long hair in a chicken wing and rude, dismissive staff when they complained, another describes food poisoning, and a third calls the shop's cleanliness unacceptable. One reviewer says that after a long wait, the restaurant finally phoned to ask whether the food was still wanted.

“Chicken chow meing is 60% onion and beansprout (and there was jo mention of there being onion), 35% noodle and 5% chicken. Will not be ordering again since it is definitely not worth what i paid. Only upside was was the chicken balls whick is why it got 2* since the chowmein was the main of my meal.”

“Been ordering takeaways from here for the past 4 years and never had a bad order or experience. Foods always been good, delivery super quick! People on phones always kind and polite- I really don't understand these bad reviews :( I'm a happy customer 😊 I've never eaten in the restaurant so can't comment”

“If I could give no stars I would - placed an order and never received it! Placed an order, the cost was taken from my card and received a notification 50 minutes later to say the rider had left with our order. 30 minutes later still no sign so tried calling the restaurant numerous times, to which we were greeted with either the number was busy or the voicemail box was full. 2 and a half hours later received a call to ask "if we still wanted the food". Absolutely unbelievable customer service. Such disappointment. Don't bother.”

“❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️ ‼️Avoid Golden Bowl Chinese Shop‼️ I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. I was charged an outrageous £18 for just a small portion of chips, a portion of curry sauce, and a portion of prawns. The food was rushed, poorly cooked, and of very low quality. To make matters worse, the overall cleanliness of the shop was unacceptable. There are many better places to eat Save your money and go elsewhere!‼️‼️”

“The worst takeaway I've ever had in my whole life. It put me in hospital with food poisoning. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTUARANT. This takeaway was 5 stars seven years ago.”
