Quick info
About Golden Bowl
Golden Bowl is an Oldham restaurant on Middleton Rd that serves both Chinese food and English chippy food. The chippy side includes fish and chips and steak and kidney pudding, while fried rice comes from the Chinese side, so one order can draw from both menus. Chinese dishes are served only up to a certain time, and English chippy food is the alternative after that. Payment is cash only, so bring notes or coins when you visit.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. One diner said the kung po chicken was boiled chicken and veg in tasteless brown water, with none of the sweet, sticky sauce or cashews expected, and it went in the bin. Another found the sweet and sour chicken with chicken fried rice tasted of fish, and the children left full plates. Others report hard chips, tasteless rice, weak curry sauce, small portions and cold, dry fish and chips. One says they were refused Chinese food three times for being too late, and one received peas on a steak and kidney pudding order they never requested. One reviewer reminds others that it is cash only.
