Quick info
About The Golden Bowl
On Wednesfield Rd in Willenhall, The Golden Bowl is a Chinese takeaway serving a menu of 110 dishes. The Special Mixed and the 3 In 1 With Meat sit alongside a fried rice and chow mein with sauce, and a share box brings chicken balls, spring rolls, spare ribs, chips and a pot of curry sauce together for around £17. Orders are placed by phone, and the kitchen also does chicken chow mein and shrimp fried rice for those ordering separately. Payment is cash only, and the shop takes walk-in custom rather than reservations. It opens daily but evenings only. Home delivery reaches the surrounding streets, with orders arriving within the hour on at least one occasion.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken chow mein draws the most attention, with several reviewers calling it well seasoned and good, though just as many report far too much soy sauce leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. Close behind, the salt and pepper box gets praise as good value, and a home delivery order of shrimp fried rice is described as generous, hot, and well priced. Portions elsewhere disappoint: one reviewer says a £17 share box arrived with plain chips, tiny spring rolls, and only a small pot of curry sauce, not worth the cost. Another reports food arriving cold with everything stuck to the container, and being brushed off on the phone and blamed on the packaging. One reviewer also says the food has gone downhill since switching to delivery agents, calling it bland, mass produced chicken. Others remain loyal, with one saying they have ordered for years and never been disappointed.

“Has from here tonight.. first time... ( we're gonsame place everytime, but was closed) Staff were friendly, food tasted so so good. But rhe box we had wasn't worth 17 quid. They didn't give me noodles instead of rice, but woth every chibese the phone is ringing off the hook they dont really take much care or notice for us who phone in. £17 pound box had copious amount of plain chips... 3 small chicken balls, 2 tiny spring rolls, 3 small spare ribs... the tineast pot of curry sauce.. Dint get me wrong, food tasted beautiful .. but for a near £20 share box, it isn't worth it. Would eag again here, but not order that”
