I went and got chicken chow mein and chicken curry My first chicken curry has approximately 7 bits of chicken n curry sauce was that watery it looked like soup. Phoned and complained and they apologised and said they would make a new one went and got the new one, and the sauce was still very watery and oily

food and decor of the place decent, nothing special. worn tablecloths, heavily worn dishes, medium sized portions of food. Terrible, unfriendly service. After giving up dinner because the menu did not match and ordering only drinks, we heard from the waitress that this is not a pub but a restaurant. I do not recommend, there are much better restaurants in the area.

We liked what we saw on the posted menu outside, and so stopped in for lunch service on a Monday. It was very packed inside, but the staff took orders and got food out very quickly, keeping everything moving and no one waiting. Our food was quite good – we got the Canton Beef, beef and onions in a sweet plum sauce, the Nimono Vegetables, mixed veggies in a lightly spicy curry sauce, and a skewered chicken appetizer, resembling satay chicken, but fried and spicer, with plentiful white rice accompanying everything. The only thing that could have improved it was a bit more vegetable with the Canton Beef, but the meal was delicious nonetheless. Drink selections were also nice – the strawberry lime hard cider that Mr. Cuddles got went well with the meal. If you’re looking for good Asian cuisine in Lerwick, you’ve found it here.

If ‘no stars’ were an option that’s what this place would be given! Spent over £100 on takeaway for 6 people - total waste of money! 2 curries were like water, ‘fried rice’ meal wasn’t fried, bland, inedible food & unwelcoming ‘front of house’. Too far to return. Rang up to complain & was offered money off next order - there won’t be a next order!!!!

Was less than half full, and was fine enough inside. More staff would be ideal as one girl was doing the waitress work and mostly by herself. So we waited a minute or two longer for our food. Food arrived and starter was not bad. The main course was smaller than expected and the sauce for my chicken balls was barely enough to dip or get my rice wet. Normally Chinese food fills me right up, but not on this occasion. Few flies flying about, but the reassurance of one of those electric tennis racket that zaps them was handle on the bar near the entrance

Oh dear, what a disappointing carry out. Meal for three. Some things okay, others poor / borderline inedible (odd taste for 'standard' meals and obviously reheating involved for the noodles. Won't be trying again and obviously not recommended.

My wife and I ordered 4-5 different dishes. The spicy squid was too salty. We asked to change it. The polite waitress brought us an other new one that was not salty. The dish with beef was also salty but we could eat. The food was not something special, the staff was polite and helpful, while the atmosphere was ok.

I was hosted to dinner by a regular who felt this was the best local Chinese and it was a good call. In fact it's Pan-Asian, with Japanese, Korean, Thai and Malaysian food. I chose Japanese starter and traditional Chinese main and both were tasty and well-cooked, with prompt and efficient service. I'd be pleased to eat here again.

Visited on a (rainy) September Monday, to find the place quite busy with dine-in and takeaway customers. The surprising bit was that the menus are all on tablets, swiping right to see each next page. (I did notice an older group of customers initially struggle with this concept, they appeared very appreciative of the young waiter's assistance with them.) We weren't rushed to make a decision with food and certainly had an appropriate length of time to do so. The food, when it arrived, was excellent - sauces all very subtle and definitely not OTT as we've had in other places.

We dined twice in the Golden Coach during our stay. Well presented restaurant, very clean, lots of space and tables with crisp covers. Staff both knowledgeable and very pleasant. The menu covers, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and Japanese. In our case we chose to have the Chinese and it was truly wonderful. Crispy Duck with the trimmings was our joint starter and the meat was quite simply brilliant. We then had wonderful mains which we shared and some egg fried rice between the two of us. Very fresh food and the right size of portions. A good bottle of wine helped make both evenings memorable. Not overpriced but of the highest quality. Restaurant was very busy, always a good sign.
