Under new management, chow mein very dry, no sauce and no flavour. Have to keep adding salt just to make it edible. Prawn crackers are stale too. And king prawn balls seems smaller. This is a shame as we had been looking forward to this all day.

Used to be our favourite but unfortunately the last 3 orders have just got worse each time. Portions are way smaller, pretty sure the food had been microwaved, extremely stodgy and tasted weird. Such a shame as they are super friendly and it used to be delicious and decent portion sizes. Very disappointed

Birthday takeaway treat tonight! So disappointed. The food was tasteless and slightly burnt, and I had random pieces of meat in my egg fried rice. The only decent thing we had delivered tonight was the chips!! This had been our go-to Chinese for years. Now they are under new management, and we are on the hunt for another chinese takeaway in the area Previous review added 4 months prior to update: 4 stars We always have our Chinese from Golden Express. However, our only issue is that delivery is always at least an hour!

Ordered from here as our usual place was closed,although a lot of the reviews we read prior to ordering were really good we found the food was disappointing ,the pricing of the food was far cheaper then our usual place which was a positive but that price reflected the food. Food was on time and hot and definitely with some more attention could be a good Chinese. 5/10

Would have been 5stars as the food is good and cheap and been using them for 10+ years had them 3x in last month however tonight I place £75 order which was accepted over 2hours! Later I heard nothing I call and be told its now cooking. I question this and say to cancel I now have to wait for the refund. I even said how much longer would we wait and he said they can't do it tonight. So made a whole family with multiple kidds here wait 2hours to be told your not getting food disgusting am shocked.

Our first time from this place, it's not too far from us. It took a while to arrive and when it did the driver was apologetic about a mess in the bag and arranged a replacement. We enjoyed the food. It was tasty, crunchy, spicy, and aromatic. We will buy our next Chinese from here.

Best Chinese food I've ever had. We come from London and tried them there, then moved to ipswich and tried all the different ones here. Golden express is way out in front. Can't recommend enough. We have been using them for years now and wouldn't go any where else. Try once and guarantee you won't be disappointed. Only trouble is when we keep recommending to people we now have to wait longer to get our food

Chinese is one of my favourite dinners to have out and I have to say after 2 mouthfuls I couldn't eat the food on my plate. The rice was bone dry and had no flavour and the meat was so chewy and no flavour. Out of the whole meal the only thing I enjoyed was the chocolate cake. Waste of money.

Try the house special curry, amazing flavours. If you ask for it spicy hot you get it, they don't just lob in some chillies which is what most of them do. BBQ spare ribs make a lovely side.

Don't like doing negative reviews but I was really excited for this restaurant. Service was very slow and we was constantly being asked. Is that all you want? I felt like I didn't eat enough maybe? For me food wasn't overly hot like they were doing it in massive batches and The taste wasn't amazing! Like I expected.

Have used this takeaway for over 5 years and the food is getting worse. We even continued to use it even after moving to the other side of Ipswich. In the beginning, The chicken was cooked perfectly, nice and tender with a nice light batter. It was packed in a tin container sitting on a lettuce leaf. The sweet chili sauce used to be the consistency of runny honey and had a pleasant taste with a bit of heat to the after taste. Rice was light and fluffy with a good mixture of veg and chicken. The last few times we have ordered the chicken has been over cooked and the batter has been hard and caused the chicken pieces to stick together. The sweet chili sauce is now very watery and taste has been replaced by heat. The rice was one big lump and is now lacking in veg and chicken. Finally everything arrived in a plastic container (not as environmentally friendly) We will be looking for an alternative takeaway. 😢
