Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return to Golden Garden for flavourful, tasty food that arrives quickly and hot, with several praising delivery and collection times. Ribs described as falling off the bone and a satay sauce one diner calls just right lead the praise, followed by chicken chow mein, noodles and crispy chilli beef that one reviewer says is not overly sweetened like other places. Portions are called generous, and reviewers mention no grease, friendly staff, a polite delivery driver and free prawn crackers and fortune cookies. The criticism is sharp but not widespread. One reviewer calls the crispy duck overcooked and tasteless, with pancakes rock hard and stuck together, slimy prawn toast, and rice heavy with oil. Another found bone and gristle in the chicken chow mein, crunching on it twice in the first few mouthfuls, yet still plans to return. One reviewer notes cards were not accepted for collection, though online payment was possible. A guest staying at the Travelodge walked ten minutes to collect their order.

“The food has good flavour served piping hot and quickly, its clean friendly and efficient, the only criticism I have is that they use all the chicken meat which is fine but they haven’t cleaned the bone and gristle properly out of the chicken and I crunched twice within the first 10 mouthfuls, I would of normally chucked the whole dish away, (I’m a bit bone a phobic) but I carried on, like I said the dish (chicken chow mein) was tasty and flavourful I will go back 👍”

“Had my first visit to this little gem earlier today and i have found mine and my daughters new favourite chinese takeaway in Swindon. We don't eat Chinese take away often simply because the rest of them in Swindon are so dissapointing, but we really enjoyed our food and the young lady who served us was super nice. Will 100% be going back and i recommend that everyone tries this place.”
