Customer Review Summary
Praise centers on the main menu dishes, which several diners call delicious and freshly cooked to order, with the starters, prawn crackers and duck singled out. Close behind is the welcome. Reviewers describe friendly staff who helped one family plan a Chinese New Year meal, and a polite takeaway pickup where the food was ready without waiting. A few reservations temper that praise: one diner found the duck sauce thick and the cucumber dried, another found the sweet and sour sauce vinegary, and the chilli beef was called not crispy enough. Longtime customers say the decline is real, describing bland Singapore Rice Noodles, Crispy Chilli Beef with no kick, shrinking portions and a bill that felt high for a quiet Friday night, including one charge for food that was never ordered. One diner said the waiter stood silent when the tasteless dishes were raised, with no apology and no replacement offered. Another family's celebration order arrived with a red envelope.

“I am originally from China and got married with a British guy. My parents in law were very kind to host a Chinese new year celebration in their house. My father in law went to Golden Palace on Thursday for meal advice. The staff were very friendly and gave him lots of good ideas. The food we received on the day were DELICIOUS! Thank you especially for the red envelope which was a real touch. Thank you very much and we will definitely come back again!”

“Horrendously expensive for what it is! Place was dead and we were one of the few tables in there on a Friday night. We had prawn toast, veg spring rolls, noodles, chicken dish, rice each, and a veggie dish and a couple of drinks…. £105 for two people! The take away costs half this and is the same food. Tried to charge us for food we didn’t order on the bill as well. Service wasn’t great, person tried to tidy up while we were still eating. Won’t be going back, just had a lovely meal at a different restaurant in Oxted for half the price and double the food.”

“Been going here for the last 15 years, I used to love it, and it's honestly heartbreaking watching this place gradually get worse and worse, and the portions get smaller and smaller and the food blander and blander. I've mentioned to the waiter the last couple times, but they seem to have ignored the feedback. I don't know whether the business is going through a hard time or something but if they don't pull their act together they won't last much longer. Upsetting as it's one of the last Chinese restaurants in the area. Sad times.”

“Absolutely dreadful! This restaurant used to be really good, I've been going there for ages. The Service, for which they charged 10%, was non existent. We were served by a kid who had no social or communication skills whatsoever. There was no "how's your food Sir" or "is everything ok Sir". The food too was pretty appalling, tasteless, bland Singapore Rice Noodles and Crispy Chilli Beef that had no "kick" at all. When we complained about the tasteless food the "kid" waiter just stood there silently, no apologies and no offer to replace the dish. To sum it up, no atmosphere, poor quality food, small portions and very expensive. To anyone thinking of going to this restaurant do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.”

“Popped in for a cheeky takeaway as I hadn’t been there for a while nice polite young man taking the orders food was very good although I found the sweet and sour sauce a bit vinegary compared to other places but otherwise no complaints from me”
