If you like a good curry, stay clear of this place,....absolutely disgusting, gravy like water. curry is so thick and sloppy its doesn't even resemble curry, chicken is rubbery. chips were far too over cooked and so dry, fried rice again, over done and stuck in one lump. Lady was nice enough over the phone but clearly never listened to a word I said during my ordering because what did arrive was wrong, waste of £25 its all went straight in the bin....total let done

First used this place back in 2014 and it was great. Then about 2 years ago I think it changed. We had a sweet and sour chicken that was like vinegar. Gave them the benefit of doubt as other dishes were ok. Then tried them again and the sweet and sour was again like vinegar. It’s really disappointing after being so good for so long.

I went here due to the other Chinese being closed. I offer my normal, expected a high quality food for the price point. My rice stuck together, was greasy, and overall had a horrible texture. My salt and pepper chicken starter has small peicie of dry flavourless chicken, the oil in the bottom had the most flavor. In total I had 8 small chunks of chicken the rest of the container was filled with vegetables. Not to mention the service yes it was speedy, though only two things ordered. The woman at the cou terminal was not welcoming and had a quite sharp tone. I wouldn't recommend.

Visited on 27/8/2023…everywhere else in Filey booked and full,so surprised to walk in to find so many empty tables (tells its own story).Stood for 5 minutes with my son (11 year old) to be rudely told by waitress “sit there” pointing to a table with no cutlery and not made up….It set the tone for the entire meal really,as she had the worse attitude I have ever known for a waitress.Drinks slammed down on the table,rude,we actually laughed as it was that bad customer service.The food was ok at best.The waitress was consistent with others who popped in to eat,both rude and aggressive with around a dozen other people walking out of the place….Would not recommend to eat here

I was disappointed with this take away, the reviews led me to believe it was going to be great, if you could score in half points I would score it a 2.5. The decor is stale and past it which made me a little uneasy when I collected the food. In all honesty the food matched the decor, we didn’t eat all the starters as they didn’t taste very fresh, particularly the fried mixed starter. That could have been down to the oil but it wasn’t very appetising. Salt and pepper chicken wings were ok, as was the Singapore vermicelli and chicken and cashew but otherwise we were dissatisfied with the £50 we’d spent.

This is a restaurant and takeaway it was a Monday evening and only one other couple were in. A funny Chinese lady welcomed us and the 2nd thing she said was “we are cash only no cards” immediately you question things and the ATMs are few and far between and often not working as on this occasion so a 2 mile drive was required. Having sorted that issue out the set meal B for 2 was ordered along with Chinese beer and wine. Food was truly amazing with proper authentic Chinese taste Total cost £48.50. Cash only!! Lovely food waitress was hilarious running round like a demented duck on fire but food was so nice. Worth a visit but go to ATM on the way

I'm sorry but this has to the the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten in. From start to finish it was a disgrace. The waitress / owner was arrogant and very unwelcomimg, the food was bland ... Especially the duck which was burnt to a crisp like it had been re-fried ... I've eaten in many Chinese and I wouldn't want anyone else to have this experience. Honestly the customer service from the person in charge was just horrendous ... Found her so so rude. The portions are so small, chicken dish had 3 pieces of chicken in, and the boiled rice portion wasn't enough to feed my 3 year old girl ... Can honestly say I've paid £108 for my meal tonight and I feel like I've had my pants pulled down ... Don't go here ! Horrible experience from start to finish!

Very strange experience. Looked to visit the restaurant. The lady opened the restaurant door, no tables were set but she gave us a menu and then disappeared for a while. She locked the door behind us. There was no music playing in the room so there was no ambience and could hear people talking in the Kitchen. No one came to take a drinks order so we decided to leave. Not sure what was going on!

We were on the final leg of our holiday on the East Yorks coast. We stopped at the Gold River for dinner. My partner had vegetables with cashew nuts and boiled rice, I had a special friend rice. The food appeared very quickly and was very tasty. Add two diet cokes and the bill came to £12ph. Very good value for money. The lady was very pleasant and chatty, maybe she was having an off day? ;-)

We have been to Gold River recently while in Filey for a week on the coast & were really happy with the quality of the dishes presented & service provided.We enjoyed all our family favourites, from crispy chicken in Peking sauce, chicken in Satay sauce, to BBQ ribs & Singaporean Fried rice. The dishes were tasty & served to a high standard. Oh yes, the salt & chilli chips were excellent!Please note - they only accept cash (not sure why?) so come prepared, as the nearest cash machine is a 5-10 min walk at Tesco’s. When next in Filey, we shall return!

Went to this restaurant yesterday with my partner and our little girl. We ordered some drinks and waited almost half an hour before anyone came to take our order. And this was after asking 3 different staff if we could please make an order. It was like we were invisible! I've never experienced such rudeness and bad service. I asked the lady who gave is our drinks if we could please order and she said, I don't take food orders. After half an hour and going to the 4th staff member to please take our order someone came to our table. No apologies about the delay from anyone. The lady who took our order was the rudest person I've ever met. It was like it was an inconvenience for her to place our order. After trying to explain what we wanted to order to her, she was that rude that we just said, cancel it. The place didnt deserve our money. I paid for our drinks and yet again no apology at all. I said to the drinks lady (who cant take food orders apparently) why did we have to wait so long and she said that they were serving in the takeaway. I've never experienced anything like it. And their rudeness and unhospitable manner was shocking and cost them around £50+ from us! We ended up walking around looking for another Chinese restaurant and found one called the Golden Dragon which was honestly amazing. The staff at the Golden Dragon were so kind and lovely to us, especially my daughter. The food and value for money at the Golden Dragon was so much better.Wouldn't recommend the the Golden River at all. Avoid! X

We had a lovely meal!! Crab and sweet corn soup, sweet & sour soup, sharing crispy duck to start, all very nice. My main was prawn chop suey which was tasty. Others had sizzling pork, beef & broccoli stir fry and sizzling beef. All excellent. The service was fast and the young girl who served us was efficient and friendly. There were complementary prawn crackers to start with and complementary fortune cookies to finish. Perfect. Can highly recommend.

We went for an evening meal here, we had only been sat at our table about two minutes and given a menu to look at. The waitress took our order and the meal was placed on our table in less than three minutes!! To be honest it didn't look appealing or appetizing and in that short time from ordering to actually receiving the meal it was obviously not cooked fresh. I tried my meal and it was terrible, it was tasteless and bland, my husband's choice was no better. After telling the waitress that I was not happy with the meal she immediately took it away and asked if I'd like something else to which I said no, by this time I had been put off. We settled the bill less my meal and left. There was a party of five also in at the same time and they seemed to be having reason to complain. So even if you're starving don't go to the Gold River....give it a wide birth.!!!

I don’t particularly like giving negative reviews but our meal was very average. The starters of spring rolls and chicken skewers were ok but my wife had a scallops and prawns dish , the scallops were cut in half and very small and the prawns should have been king prawns but were small and in a tempura batter.

Please believe me when I say the woman who runs or owns this Chinese is vile. From the moment we arrived to the minute we left, the way she spoke to the two young boys serving, was nothing short of cruel and the whole restaurant acknowledged this also. Snapping at them, pushing them about and completely embarrassing them. She pushed one out the way to get to our table and she spilt my wine all over my plate. Onto the food, amazing but not huge portions which didn't bother me as quality exceeds quantity in my eyes. Meal over time to pay, no card machine. "Go to the bank while I get the boy to watch your children" I was mortified and ran there and back asap to find one of the poor young boys stood with my 2 and 4 year old children. Poor boy. I then asked the two young boys if they kept their tips to which there response was "no it goes towards our wages" wowza slave labor at its best, thought that was now illegal? correct me if I'm wrong. Anyhow on the whole food brilliant, service and environment... due to that one awful individual was shocking and it ruined it.

We live locally but even if you were on holiday you would receive the same service with a smile that makes you enjoy that service-Delivery staff are what makes Gold River special they are always polite, happy to deliver, and ensure you have what you ordered on receiving your order-Staff that can deliver on time also with a smile says everything to anyone person. Food is always second to none. Darmo is ace.

If you're staying in Filey, I'd recommend this Chinese for value. The quality of our takeaway was good and we felt the waiting time for our food was not too long. We'd eat from there again.

Our third year and food and service always very good. We had sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein and veg chow mein. Three happy customers. Our cottage was close by - and we always eat early - so there was very little wait

We came here on a Monday night, table for 2. Ordered drinks and ordered a starter to share followed by main courses. The service was good, food was first rate. Have paid a lot more money for much less authenticity i the past. Place was a bit quiet, unsurprisingly on a Monday but it looked cosy enough to generate a nice atmosphere.

Food was good, four of us dined here but there was only enough room on the food heater for three of the dishes so one of the party had meal going cold very quickly, there was room on table for another heater but none was forth coming. staff friendly, place clean and bright.

Weve visited the Gold River several times and never disappointed, the food is delicious, I really enjoyed the sweet and sour King Prawns not too sweet, the rice is soft and fluffy, Starters were substantial, 2 courses, with rice and a bottle of wine came to less than 50 pounds, good value, nice surroundings and friendly staff. Always look forward to eating out here.

We tried ring Golden River for about half an hour before giving up and going to the takeaway. It seemed as if the phones had been taking the hook due to the amount of orders being rung in. I ordered the meal, it was for 5 people so the order was large and I was told it would be a 45 minute wait. The guy knocked some money from the bill as a good will gesture due to the lengthy wait. Once we'd got home and sorted the food out we realised that they had thrown in a few extras. All of the meals where delicious and the portions where a fantastic size, probably enough for two people to share one meal. I would definitely recommend the prawn toast and sweet and sour chicken. Well worth the wait and we would definitely re-visit!

We visit each time we come for a holiday. Small, off the high street restaurant and take away. There is an extensive range of food and all the dishes we had were very tasty....so much so that we went back the following evening. Staff happy to help with allergies. Quick service, more spacious than it looks. Definitely recommend.

We called for an evening meal with family and friends, which happens once or twice a year when we are holidaying in the area. The Gold River comes recommended by a friend who lives at Filey. At first site the restaurant appears to be a little quirky but as ever the service was prompt and courteous and the food amazing. Can't wait to call again next year.

Been here a few times and always enjoy it. Wonderful food and staff friendly and attentive. The banquet offers a lovely choice and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxed. Our favourite Chinese restaurant.

The service was excellent. However the food could have been better.Most of the food was overcooked and the sauces were not as described e.g hot and sour was missing the hot part.

We visited on a Tuesday evening and were very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is a family run business and they are very friendly and welcoming. Service was efficient. The food was delicious, plentiful and filling. We had a banquet consisting of mixed starters, duck pancakes and then rice with six mains. They also swapped dishes to suit us. The food was served in good time and was hot and fresh. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would visit again if we return to Filey.

Ordered 3 take away meals,2 house special fried rice as 1 house special chow mein.6 containers arrived,2 plain old fried rice and 1 just noodles and 3 containers of the exact same ingredients. Very lazy,nothing mixed and was totally lacking in flavour and seasoning,the only thing that had taste was the broccoli(in special fried rice??)I would advice anybody with taste buds to avoid at all costs especially having checked it's scores on the doors as 1 star rated..

I'm a great fan of Cantonese and Peking food. And generally eat Chinese on a weekly basis from different outlets. The crispy seaweed was soggy chewy and reheated. Crispy aromatic duck was incinerated. Sweet-and-sour King prawns Cantonese style was source from a bottle over stodgy reheated battered scampi. Kung Po chicken tasteless!All in all a takeaway to avoid!

Having drunk a large amount of beer on Sunday afternoon the 4 of us decided to go to Gold River for tea, we ordered Crispy Duck and a Platter to share and we were not disappointed both dishes were very tasty, we ordered four different dishes for main along with Fried Rice and Chips all to share, i personally ordered the Curried Beef and thoroughly enjoyed it the Beef was fat free and lovely and tender.The only thing that spoilt my visit was when i visited the mens toilet, the stench coming from the toilet was appalling in fact it was so bad it was causing me to wretch and i nearly brought my food back up, i left the toilet with out using it even though i was bursting for a Pee, i mentioned the toilet to two members of staff but neither seemed interested, they really need to get the drains sorted.

Don’t go there, we have been several times and the quality of food was always good, but last night the food was cold, poor quality. First thing we brought was a bottle of wine that was off, second bottle was cheapest of wines which was just as bad. The duck was cold and tough, the bang bang chicken was also cold, the dumplings were the worst I’ve ever had. Rice was also only Luke warm, vegetable chow mien was not good either. We won’t be going back. It was very pricey for the very poor food.
