Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the depth of flavour in the food, and several call it the best Chinese they have had. One diner ordered the set meal for two plus Mushroom Chow Mein and found it hot, not overly salty and generous enough for three, and even enjoyed the sweet and sour sauce. Another lives a long drive away yet would happily come back to collect an order. Staff are described as friendly, and one reviewer says the counter accommodated several changes for a picky eater. The sharpest criticism is blandness. Two reviewers describe white, unseasoned fried rice and special rice, dry chicken balls, rubbery chicken in the curry sauce and a bbq sauce likened to watered down HP sauce, and a third found the specials dried out. One missed seeing prawn toast. Popularity brings a queue before opening on Saturdays and sometimes long waits, though reviewers say staff are realistic about times, and one suggests calling ahead. Time slots let customers wait or return when it is quieter.

“Worst Chinese I’ve ever had. The fried rice is white and bland with no favour I thought they had give us the boiled rice at first until my daughter opened her chicken fried rice and it was the same colour it tasted of nothing. The chips where nice that’s about it the curry sauce was okay a bit bland still and the chicken in it was rubbery my daughter had to spit it out. I would avoid this place”

“Had our first meal from The Golden Phoenix last weekend and it was by far the best Chinese we have ever tasted. I live a 40 minute drive away and went after work. I would easily be prepared to drive to Woodhall Spa just to collect a takeaway from here.”

“Lacked flavour, the specials were pretty dried meat. Used it as it was in the town while we stayed here but I wouldn't use this again if I lived here I would look elsewhere. Some of the less positive reviews have relevance to them!”

“A very nice selection of food and very tasty. First time ordering from here but no prawn toast that I could see. I may have been blind but didn’t see it. But it wasn’t the end of the world as the rest made up for it.”

“Golden Phoenix opened before time on a Sunday evening and were very welcoming and cooked our food promptly. The Chinese compared very favourably to other places and was the best we've had in quite some time. The food was absolutely delicious and hot, with good sized portions and wasn't overly salty which is often seems a problem with Chinese takeaways. We even enjoyed the sweet and sour sauce which isn't usually our favourite. We had the set meal for 2 and added Mushroom Chow Mein and this easily fed the three of us and was reasonably priced as well.”
