Quick info
About Golden Sands
On Boglemart St in Stevenston, Golden Sands is a Chinese restaurant that also runs as a takeaway, at number 37. A lunchtime snack box is offered for pick-up only, which gives daytime customers a lighter option than a full order. The menu covers sweet and sour chicken in the Cantonese style, vegetable and beef chow mein, and beef curry. Chicken balls and chips with gravy round out the takeaway side. Every order comes with free fortune cookies.

Customer Review Summary
Curry draws the most praise, with diners singling out the Green Thai curries for a really spicy kick and a beef curry described as lovely. Beef chow mein, crackers, chicken balls, and chips and gravy also earn good words, and one reviewer enjoys the lunchtime snack box and the free fortune cookies. Delivery is called normally quick by one reviewer, and a few describe friendly staff. Complaints form a clear second theme. Several say the person answering the phone was abrupt, arrogant, or cheeky, including one who said an order was not repeated back for a customer who is hard of hearing. Others report inconsistent cooking: a vegetable chow mein with black bean sauce that was over salted on two separate orders, ending with no replacement meal and only a partial refund, plus bland sweet and sour chicken with a bitter taste, and hard chips. One evening order never arrived after repeated waiting and was cancelled, even after a phone call promised it shortly.

“My partner and myself have used this Chinese probably once a week never any trouble food is amazing but…tonight was different the only thing wrong with the food was chips were very hard but the main issue was whoever answered the phone she was abrupt n J likes to have his order repeated back to him as he’s non verbal and hard of hearing she didn’t do this said she akready knew the order then when it came child were hard basically not edible and then when I called back she was so cheeky so nope I won’t be back..j might be but not me!!! 0000 stars from me”
