About Golden Star
Golden Star is a Chinese takeaway in Stockport at 273 Turncroft Ln, serving a traditional Chinese menu alongside fish and chips. The kitchen cooks dishes to order and also prepares off-menu items, with chilli ribs as one example. Salt and pepper boxes are made for sharing and come with either chicken or ribs. The menu also covers curries, hot and sour soup, fried rice and prawn crackers, so a full meal can be built from one order. Crispy duck rounds out the list for those after something beyond the usual takeaway dishes.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper boxes draw the most mentions, with one regular calling the sharing boxes consistently delicious and packed with food, though another found the chicken and ribs chewy, the batter stale and the chips poor. Close behind are the ribs, with honey BBQ ribs and chilli ribs both called lovely or gorgeous. Others single out the crispy duck, the special Kung Po, the fried rice, the prawn crackers and a hot and sour soup judged the best in the area. Portions are described as enormous, and several mention good value for the amount of food. Customers also note that dishes not on the menu can be cooked to order. The caveat is the curries. One diner found the chicken curry tasted ultra-processed and removed the chicken, and the beef curry went unfinished. A family of five called their meals greasy, bland and left them picked at. Even so, diners keep returning to a friendly counter where a smiling woman serves.

“Ordered 2 salt & pepper boxes they were absolutely terrible chicken and ribs were very chewy and the batter tasted stale like it was microwaved. The chips weren't good either overall pretty inedible and disappointing won't be ordering again.”
- Rin Flint
“Ordered a chicken curry with rice, it tasted like ultra-processed crap. The texture didn't taste like chicken at all, it almost felt like how I expect raw chicken to taste. I had to physically remove the chicken from the curry so I could at least enjoy it a little bit. Someone else also had the beef curry and they didn't finish it all because it too also tasted horrible. Only went here because my usual chippy was closed. If you want a curry, don't get it from here”

“Love this take away. Perfect tasty food. The hot and sour soup is the best by far of others in the area. Fried rice perfect and prawn crackers the same. The prices are amazing for the amount of food you get and the lady that serves is so lovely.. My go to now and I travel to get there. 👌”
