About Golden Place

Payment is cash only, and a free cash machine in the Co-op just down the block helps anyone who arrives without cash. The kitchen cooks crispy chilli beef and lemon chicken as main dishes, with hot and sour soup for those who want a starter. Opening is evenings only, and the takeaway closes on Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Regulars, several of them customers for over 10 years, return for food that is consistently tasty and orders that come out right, with the friendly, welcoming family running the place a repeated highlight. The crispy chilli beef and lemon chicken are called lovely and crunchy, with seasoning that is not overpowering. Close behind come the King Prawn and Mushrooms, the chicken balls, the hot and sour soup and the thai green curry. The vegetable spring rolls get a mention among the extras thrown in with larger orders. One reviewer adds that delivery food arrives hot in great portion sizes, and that staff are friendly on the phone. The one critical account comes from a collection customer who reports being handed too little change. When they phoned, they were told the till had been tallied and was correct. Elsewhere, long-time customers describe trying other Chinese takeaways when this one was closed and finding that nothing else came close.

“I’m really impressed. This is my first time here. I got the crispy chilli beef and lemon chicken and the house rice. All very fresh, very clean and very tasty. The chicken and the chilli beef were lovely and crunchy. Nicely seasoned without the overpowering saltines of some takeaways. I will definitely be coming back here it’s really well done. Friendly Staff and other customers too.”

“Disappointed by my experience today. I ordered for collection and paid £30 for a £23 order, but I was only given £2 in change. By the time I got home and realized I was £5 short, I called the restaurant. They simply told me they tallied the till and it was correct. It’s highly frustrating, and while I should have checked my change at the counter, it leaves a very bad impression. Either the till procedure is flawed, or an employee is pocketing the cash. Buyers beware.”

“Hands down the best Chinese takeaway around. We’ve tried plenty of others over the years, but nothing ever matches the quality and consistency here. Every meal is fresh, full of flavour, and always exactly what you hope for. What really makes this place stand out though is the service. The team are so friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It’s rare to find somewhere that gets it right every single time, but they absolutely do. It’s become our go-to without question — reliable, delicious, and run by genuinely lovely people. Highly recommended!”

“I’ve been a loyal customer here for over 10 years, and honestly, they are in a league of their own. Not once in all that time have I had a bad experience — every single order has been spot on, without exception. On the rare occasions they’ve been closed and I’ve tried other places, nothing has ever come close. It just makes you realise how consistently amazing they are. The food is always outstanding, the service is flawless, and the staff are genuinely some of the kindest people you could meet. They’re such a lovely family — always polite, welcoming, and they even take the time to say hello when you see them out and about. You don’t just get great food here — you get genuine care, consistency, and quality that’s incredibly rare to find. I couldn’t recommend them more highly Please don’t ever go anywhere, I look forward to every single order 😀💖”
