Gold Lion Chinese Takeaway in Gwynedd

All the other one star reviews are spot on. Bland, brown and tasteless. Easily the worst I've ever had 😔

This Chinese takeaway was actually awful. The food was bland and tasteless. There was no flavour on the chicken chow mein noodles, as it tasted like they had just come from a packet. This was the same for the chicken curry, it was a bland sauce with some chunks of chicken thrown in. No idea what the satay chicken was, didn’t eat anything after the first bite, and refused to even give it to the dogs. Then the shop itself is awful. No idea how they have even managed a 2 star food hygiene rating. This place should be avoided. Really wish I’d just got a pizza instead.

Unfortunately not a good experience. Should have taken the hint from the smelly dinghy room to order from. Went with the £32 meal for 4 option. Unfortunately everything tasted old, soggy and bad... Even the prawn crackers were soft. Worst Chinese I have ever had, so bad it went in the bin and I felt I had to leave this review. Sorry.

I had sweet and sour balls (battered) . Chicken balls was 8/10 weren't big but came in a pack of 6 or so . Sweet and sour sauce was about 6/10 it was ok . Egg fried rice was nice. Prawn crackers didn't taste very nice . Different to others . Wanted to try here because Lees were closed . Kind , friendly woman. Good service . It was quiet and dead. A bit dirty . Needs a clean . Overall I'd rate here about 7/10 . Prefer Lees more .

Really good special fried rice and prawn curry

The worst Chinese takeaway food I've ever tasted. If you disagree, you really need to try other places. Cheap yes, good no.

If only I could give a zero rating. Tasteless overcooked and like others have said almost like food has been sitting all day and heated up. Salt and pepper chicken was rock hard- chow main and rice ( both specials) tasteless and god only knows what they cook the chips in and how old potatoes are. It has a 2 rating ( must have been a good day!) and genuinely the worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten

If you are looking for a good Chinese, keep driving. Trust me I have eaten some bad Chinese in the past but this one wins the award. It was rank. The greasiest blandest mush you can imagine. They can't even cook a chip properly! Also asked for no prawns in the food and guess what? Yup full of prawns. Would have taken it back and thrown it at them but by the time we parked up to eat it it was closed. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place. Any reviews saying it is good food either have no taste buds or are fake.

Awful - bland, cheap ingredients. Worst ever. Only ordered because everywhere else was busy - never again

Best and biggest Pancake roll EVER! Next level 😋 A meal in itself.

DREADFUL!! - The shop is filthy and the food is dreadful, I dare not guess what meat was in my food, but it was cold. The prawns were cold and the meat in it was the sliced meat you would buy from the supermarket. Avoid at all costs...

Absolutely terrible food, chips wasn’t even cooked, rice, noodles and curry was cold, phoned and complained told me to go back so I’ve gone back wouldn’t even give me a 5p bag, wouldn’t recommend this takeaway to anybody , wouldn’t even give the left overs to my dog , my mrs daughter feels sick, rather eat cat food than food from there

Wasn't sure about this place, 4 out of 5 local authority food inspection sticking in the window. The customer area is grim. Food was non descript in taste and flavour.

This has to be the worst takeaway I have ever had. The food was awful and tasteless. The chips looked like they had been left over from very early on in the day and had a funny taste to them, we had to throw them away. The beef fried rice and curry sauce wasn’t much better. We have passed this chinese take away whenever we have been on holiday here but would never go there again. Totally un-eatable and a waste of money. Stale dry bread at home would have been more suitable, at least you know what you are getting.

Fantastic food tonight, as always! The beef with green peppers in black bean sauce is a must try!

Worst Chinese ive ever had satay sauce tatsed of nothing no spice or peanut had evee seen that dish, giant spring role looked like a soggy burito and was filled with a pack of bean sprouts and nothing else would seriously avoid there low prices got me in but I can see why theee prices are so low as there quality of food is disgusting

Great Singapore chow mein, best around, spring rolls are brilliant. Now my regular.... l I finally found a reliable Chinese take away....

Had a takeaway from here only chips and curry very poor quality food only ate a small amount as I found a hair wrapped round a chip.

We picked this for its closeness to the Premier Inn where we were staying as nowhere in Caernarfon seems to deliver. The only thing telling you that this was a takeaway is the tired old sign across the front.No advertising, no menu on the outside. The front door leads you into a small room with no decoration, a worn out wooden bench and a tired, dirty menu on its wall. Cobwebs and cracked plaster adds to the ‘ambience’. The portion size was good and the price very reasonable but we soon learnt why. Soggy prawn toast like very greasy fried bread. Extremely bland vegetable chow mein and the weirdest king prawn satay we have ever had - no spiciness - no flavour at all. Very pale pinky orange colour - a mix of canned mushroom soup and ketchup would be fairly close. Cash only - very weird for modern times, especially with Covid around. It’s a shame really - the lady was lovely and the portion sizes were very good but probably the most tasteless takeaway I’ve ever had.

Nice Food, pleasant service.. 👌

The food was cold and my Chicken was bloody and black and no not burnt ether they buy out of Date food from supermarket how do I know this? Well I was a Casher working in a supermarket and I served them a lot and all they buy is reduced price food that cost them very little money some 10p 20p food and in return they charge £6-7.00 for a so called meals. The place should be closed down and seen rats there. Do not eat at Alexandra Chinese not if you want to live.

Dont have a gluten free menu

We got a takeaway and took it back to our room. I asked for my curry separate so my chips didn't go soggy but it was already poured on however the curry was nice. The chicken chow mein was tasteless and the chicken wasn't mixed in. The small boiled strips of chicken were just placed on top and there wasn't much of it.

Ordered a Takeaway last night... After reading some of these reviews was a bit put off... But glad I did, it was one of the best Chinese takeaways me and my partner have ever had, after a long day out walking couldn't fault it. The person who left a negative review just by the look of the place and didn't even order anything, Please ignore they must have too much time on there hands... Very reasonable priced, friendly staff and very tasty food. Thank you very much Steve from Liverpool

Very reasonable had a good meal for a good price, would agree with some maybe waiting area could do with sprucing up, but has good hygiene rating so no worries :)

Food was very good No complaints but they could do with freshening up the exterior and waiting areas bit scruffy giving a bad image

Rough as the proverbial Bear's b-----ks.

Top notch. Nice big pieces of beef and green pepper. So good that I had the lot.

Went last night had the chicken & sweetcorn soup, chicken curry fried rice & chicken & sweetcorn & boiled rice lovely as usual well cooked & very tasty, can't fault the place.

Good Chinese don't trust the chips

Had a takeaway tonight that was microwave reheated/cold and rushed before their closing time. Don't make your children have to eat this stodge.

Nice little Chinese takeaway , food could of had a little more flavour buh apart from that was quite nice

Great Chinese takeaway Food is excellent Friendly staff , pleasant What more can you ask for Thanks AndyROB

Bonne adresse pour ramener de quoi se faire plaisir à la maison. Prix attractifs.

My regular chinese takeaway, lovely friendly staff. The food might not look too special but the taste of it is amazing. I always go for the chicken satay with rice. Beautiful Go try it.

One star is too much ..but there wasnt an option to leave no stars !!!!. The meal my son got from this place last night was appalling...crispy beef..it looked more like dog food..Never again...

This place smells so dirty when you walk in. So much that I refuse to order. So never ate here. Couldn't risk it.

The ideal takeaway when you feel like a night in front of the telly. Have a pint in the Alex while you wait for it to be freshly cooked.

I have my food from here every Friday night and it's the best takeaway I have ever had, good value as well and always served with a smile

Chips ok ish ...... Sweet and sour balls ok ......... Rice ok ish ............... Would not rush there again ..... Very disappointed ........

Después de trece años me decidí a otra en este aparentemente popular para llevar. Fue el atractivo de sus legendarios grandes rollos de primavera que me llevó . Sin embargo, aunque el rollo de primavera (la comida en sí misma)era increíble el pollo y champiñones con fideos fue muy decepcionante. La carne de pollo le faltaba coherencia las setas fueron harinosos Elementos y seco . En cuanto a la salsa ... Lo que le faltaba el sabor era aguados y parecía mi primer intento de salteados como un chico de la escuela. Decepcionante!

El error de pedir llevar a un desconocido, solía ser un cliente leal de Caernarfon de Lee. La peor comida china jamás en mi 50 años de experiencia, medio cocido, un plato no estaba preparado. Las apariencias no molestó, calidad cuenten. Lo siento, yo no volvería otra vez y restringirnos a Lee's

Después de la publicación india para llevar mi favorita, parece justo decir algo sobre mi llevar chino favorita, la terraza de Alexandra de león de oro en Caernarfon es uno de ellos. No parece mucho de dentro o fuera de hecho pero lo que tienes en tu plato es lo más importante, es necesario darle una oportunidad y no ir a ningún otro sitio. El aparcamiento puede ser un poco difícil

Siempre he elegido para conseguir mi llevar chino desde aquí. no parece en todo tan atractiva desde el exterior, o el interior si te digo la verdad, pero la comida es preciosa y gran valor. Yo nunca me llevar a cualquier otro lugar en Caernarfon siempre que este lugar está abierto.
