About The Golden Wok
The Golden Wok is a Chinese takeaway at 115 Par Grn in Par. Customers place orders by phone and collect them at the counter. The menu includes chilli beef, special fried rice and a set meal for two, so a pickup for a pair can be arranged in one call. Payment is cash only and cards are not accepted. A free cash machine sits in the Co-op next door, which lets customers withdraw money just before they collect their order.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the crispy chicken in sweet and sour sauce, described as battered, fried and sliced chicken breast, and the sweet and sour chicken in a set meal for two gets similar praise. Close behind are the chilli beef and duck, both called superb by one longtime regular, plus special fried rice, mini pancake rolls, mixed vegetables and crispy chicken in honey and chilli. Reviewers describe food that arrives hot and fresh in generous portions, and several mention friendly counter and delivery staff. The recurring complaint is that the takeaway is cash only, which sent several reviewers looking for a cash machine, with a free one noted in the Co-op next door. One reviewer who was slightly short had the collected order taken back into the kitchen until the difference was paid. Another found the fries oily and the crispy shredded chilli beef to be batter with no beef. One delivery driver came back to a customer's house to return an overpayment.

“Interesting this one! We ordered via phone and were informed cash only. Odd in this day and age, anyway thought ok fine. Walked over to collect and maybe a miscommunication but having ordered a decent amount for us all it seemed I was just over £1 short. Not wishing to chip their price for the size of order, usually a good owner would be ok without my having to go back to the cashpoint, I asked if that was still ok but no, the guy took the food away and back into the kitchen until we stumped up the difference! Pathetic really. Fine as cashpoint not far away. From service aspect not good and also any cash business in this day and age needs a very close look for obvious reasons. An easy card payment for the difference would be normal practise in 2026 but not here! Anyway the food was good which was main thing but next time don’t be so tight and start taking card payments like everyone else!”

“We ordered takeaway from here to be delivered on a Wednesday evening. We were told it could be up to 1 hour for delivery but it arrived a lot sooner. The lady delivering was friendly and polite. The food was good value for the money and if in the area again we would definitely order again and would recommend.”

“We ate from here last weekend after a long drive down to Par, and we wasn't disappointed. Food was delicious, service was great. Cash only restaurant, which was annoying I had to find a cash point but other than that was worth the money.”

“So bad there the fries were literally just oil with Chinese seasoning nothing good about that the crispy shredded chilli beef had no beef the food should be chewy and crispy not straight up batter disgusting. Guy on front couldn't give two tosses about anything. Wouldn't recommend I would recommend the beach burger near the beach great quality good food and good atmosphere and the lady does make good conversation and gives tosses about the good quality”
