Golden Flower in County Durham

Food is amazing and the communication from staff is really good. Food is never late and always top quality. Thank you!

Usually have really good service from golden flower. However £30 worth of food was stale tonight … very disappointed. Won’t be returning

Absolutly foul not even average im not one to complain im fair but wings burnt to a crisp cold nee chicken took an hour and 20 mins chips were nicest bit never again ....

Only Chinese in area that offers “small” or “regular” portion sizes for dishes which is a brilliant option to have. Always piping hot and delicious. Highly recommended

Never been for a while so thought we would try it, we thought wrong, lacked taste, chow mean was the strangest we ever had, chicken peices were far too big, a big let down.

Never been here for a few years and can honsetly say i think ive been missing out,absolutely delicious sweet and sour dish and had curry lately which was good as well,great chinese.

DIsgusting. Ordered takeaway on a Saturday night as a treat. Picked it up after a 4 mile drive home. Went to put out "crispy noodles ".Surface looked fine as chicken and prawn was on top. However once I attempted to put noodles out discovred the noodles were not cooked and all stuck together in a big clump. Dry raw noodles ???? Rang to complain after a 5 min discussion with the boss ,a lady took the phone and tried to tell me they fried the noodles and they were meant to be crispy ! I tried to say they were not cooked and she said if i brought them back she would cook another dish. Not good enough. We refused to go back and left it on a promise for a free dish next time. We had ordered a curry, rice and chips as well so just decided to share this. However this too was disgusting not fresh, tasteless and bland. Chips disgusting too no taste and not fresh..What a waste of £20. What has gone wrong ? Used to be nice with fresh ingredients however i will never use Golden Flower again worst chinese ever tasted and most of it went in the bin. Raging and massively disappointed at the quality.

My partner collected a take away of Rice, chips and gravy, 5 minutes later when she arrived home the food was cold and needed to be microwaved. Obviously this was not cooked to order. Disgusting

Fast friendly service at a fair price. Tasty and plentiful. An asset to the village. Many thanks

Very bland curry you can tell it was the packet curry mix very dissatisfied as pay top price for packet curry. I have used this place since it opened in te 70s, but will never go back after this.

Bought a chinease munchie box from them Tasted fine Both me and parter were ill with bad stomach I was lucky enough to trow mine back up It's obviously not good if you can't digest Lifting won't be back

Just ordered a takeaway from Golden Flower, we were very impressed large portions and very tasty food would recommend

Normally I go to Hong Kong diner but it is shut from 13th-27th so had to go here. Prices were about 3-4 quid more expensive. Portion of salt and pepper chips and a sweet and sour chicken was 12 quid. Chips were smaller than at Hong Kong diner and didn’t taste as good, sweet and sour tasted funny. It was like jelly. Overall didn’t enjoy it. So getting a pizza instead.

We’ve just had a fantastic meal delivered, king prawn, beef in black bean, noodles, rice, sticky king prawns & salt & pepper chicken, it’s great being able to order smaller/half portions, restaurant quality food very impressed & very full ! 🥰😍

Great takeaway with prices that are very reasonable 👍🏻

Impromptu call in ..best Chinese food ever.. Won't be our last

Not like normal chinese food. They've tried to modernise it & it's awful. My neighbours ssy the same. Their last meal wasnt up to scratch.

Best Chinese in the area! Being going here for years. Always great quality and arrives in a decent time. 10/10 recommend!!

One of the best Chinese takeaways in the Consett area. Staff are always friendly and the food is always nice. Very very rare you get a bad dish.

Takeaway with great range and well cooked dishes. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Very nice food, clean premises, good English speaking Waitron. Another County Durham gem. Take away only

fantastic first time there highly recommended 😀

High quality food at a reasonable price with good customer service. They check all the boxes and have beaten back 2 other establishments to become our Chinese takeaway of choice. They also do half sizes, so it allows for a more appropriate amount of food to be ordered, while allowing for more variety in your order and being more affordable at the same time.... Win win win.

Very efficient service with very helpful and friendly staff. The food is fabulous, wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Disgusting food,never again, keep your money(cash no card like all Chinese takeaways)Not recommend for diabetics

Staff very friendly and food is 10/10 lovely food

Delicious.. As usual.. No complaints from us...

Hot fresh food. Chips not up to normal standard

Very good tasty well cooked food. Went there last year no so good as it is now.

Food is excellent, prices are good and the staff always friendly and welcoming - my favourite Chinese Takeaway!

Food is always excellent and staff so friendly. Excellent value too

Had a lovely takeaway from here so decided to try it again tonight disappointing as chow mien had no flavour and very greasy crispy beef in Cantonese sauce tasted as if it was just crispy batter no filling maybe a different chef tonight I wonder put off trying it again

Always good food, efficient and high quality Chinese takeaway.

Like that they do smaller portions , saves on waste

Ordered two chicken Currys, chips, fried rice and portion of mushrooms, to pick up just after opening, all of the food was look warm, there was lots of chicken but was bland as if boiled, the curry sauce was watery and like paxo curry sauce, the mushrooms which I was looking forward to were tasteless, son left three quarters I left half, really disappointed as was looking forward too, a wasted £18, struggled to give two stars as I want to support local business in the village

The menu came through the door the other week and after reading it we noticed they had every meal with a veggie option, although it's 2021 that is quite a rare thing so we kept it to give it a try and thank the lord we did. We've just had the "mini" veggie munchie box and it was stunning, it was all fresh and the taste was delightful. It's more than satisfied 2 of us and we will definitely be buying it again.

We ordered this to be delivered to a remote farmhouse and they said it might take an hour. It arrived after 30 minutes and was delicious, warm and tasty. Okay it wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny.

Traveled about 8mile round trip not impressed by the shop or staff returned home only to find we had been given the wrong order had to phone and return said order to retrieve our own order which turned out to be vertuly uneateble

Very hit and miss for a few years. Got 50/50 chance of the sauces having no flavour. Satay sauce like water this time no flavour, curry sauce very salty.

Just had a salt pepper munchie box forgot the extra curry was here with in minutes service very good food outstanding well done

Best tasting meal I've had... Great value too.

Piping hot and very tasty. We'll be returning customers 😋

Absolutely disgusting. Soup freezing cold chicken balls like eating rubber

Take away arrived cold, unseasoned & tasteless. Chicken very dry & tough. Very overpriced. This is a place to give a miss.

I order a chow mein every week,Got my order wrong so next time I asked specifically for the dry traditional one,Rang again this evening and the order is wrong again.Traditional is beautiful where as what I have received is a sloppy chow mein with precooked chicken on top barely warm.Lost a good customer, Sorry!

I live local to this establishment and have not used it for sometime so dived in as it was late and cooking was not an option. The meal I ordered was KUNG POH CHICHEN WITH KING PRAWN along with a seaweed starter which was a meal I have had many times from numerous takeaway restaurants and has always delivered a flavour extravaganza on the old taste buds, but NOT this time ! ! ! !Have plated up what I thought was going to be a taste sensation quickly turned into a vomit nightmare after four or five mouthfuls into the main meal, my body rejected the full lot in one foul swoop straight down the porcelain bowl ! Returning to the offending article and giving it a good old sniff with the old hooter it was obvious from the aroma that either the chicken or prawns were off and not fit for consumption ! There was an obvious problem with this meal and it should have been picked up by the chef and not packed and dispatched to a customer. Not one to sit back the restaurant was contacted and the staff were informed in no uncertain manner that the meal was not fit for consumption and had catastrophic consequences resulting in a chicken prawn vomit comet ! The restaurant did collect the meal and refunded my hard earned pennies, hopefully they will carry out a postmortem on the offending article before the experience is repeated or worse. Needless to say I would not recommend this establishment to anyone even those with a cast iron stomach and no sense of smell.

Amazing! Best takeaway Chinese i have had. When we come up to visit relatives we always order from here!

I think it is the best Chinese in the area

We're lucky It's on our doorstep and we love it. Highly recommended 👍

Lovely food and choice worth the 12 mile drive to collect

Had a king prawn with ginger & spring onion & my wife had roast duck with plum sauce it was absolutely delicious compliments to the chef

Wasn't too keen after got new owners but they are coming into there own now and making lovely food

Fabulous staff in these times . Fabulous food. Thankyou

This has to be the worst Chinese food I have ever tasted. Chicken was overcooked and dry - spring rolls over-fried and inedible. Food was overpriced for what we got - I won’t be using them in the future.

Chicken was undercooked was ill for days after getting take away from here eat here at your own peril

we ordered a mini munchie box which is advertised to have alot of variety. Basically it was a box of rice and chips with 3 small pieces of chicken, 2 mini chicken balls and 4 spring rolls. you are basically paying £11 for £3 worth of food. our box was filled with rice and chips so they didnt have to add any actual meat. massively dissapointed.

Bought a small munch box and chicken and sweetcorn soup. The soup had loads of pepper in I hate pepper never had chicken and sweetcorn soup with pepper in from any takeaway on top of that it was full of lumps. The munch box was mainly greasy rice and soggy chips 2 chicken wings and a couple pieces of chicken waste of money

50% enjoyed 50% ummmm Regular meals were nice but the boxes were greasy and we binned a lot of it. Ummmmmmmmmm Ummmmmmmmmm Ummmmmmmmmm Ummmmmmmmmm

Amazing. Service was slow but food was perfectly cooked.the food really boosted my energy. I didn’t expect anything much but they exceeded in them

Nice service, good food, welcoming decoration and vibe

I was delighted to hear they now take card payments. Big plusDecided on a KATSU CURRY RICE CHIPS got home opened up the box to find thin strips of chicken covered in burnt bread crumbs or batter dry and smelling burnt this was a dry portion very dry then came a carton of what i would call MAKEWAY CURRYreal shame lovely shop lovely staff but to allow that out of the kitchen is shockingThey have offered me ten pounds off next meal as a way of an appology Hoping my next post is a very positive one

Love the food from here, but really need an online ordering system

This is the Chinese take away that we use most, we have selected various items from the menu over a number of years and have been satisfied most of the time with what we have received, we have used the delivery service as well which improves the service as one of the reasons I have marked them down is the parking at the takeaway site, it is atrocious a main road on a hill at a junction, if the parking was sorted we would go more often and I would up it a star to 4

Just waited 1 and 1/2 hours for cold half cooked rice and curry you could slice with a knife! Not the Golden Flower it used to be. Won’t be back.

Ordered a Take Away meal. Ready to collect in fifteen minutes. Absolutely superb. Really pleased to have decided to try a Take Away rather than cook a meal ourselves this evening!

Absolutely shocking service, ordered salt and pepper chicken with my order and didnt arrive with the full order, proceeded to ring and ask for it to be delivered and the item was delivered WRONG making me wait 1 hour and 30 minutes for them to then go on to say that I would need to be charged for them to bring it again, I highly recommend NOT using this takeaway if u plan on getting the CORRECT food with with NO complications, thank you

The Worst size portion of chow mien I have ever had in my life greasy and overcooked food I would not Recommend this place to anybody

Good quality, tasty Chinese cuisine. The first Chinese takeaway I ever came across which also does half portions as well as full portions, which I think is a great idea. Look forward to my next order!

Never had a bad meal, food good quality. Staff very polite, always ask for home delivery and on point every time.

Nice food well-presented a bit of a problem getting through on the phone on a Saturday night though

Awful! Me, my wife and my two kids ordered a Chinese from here and when we got it and went to eat it, it tasted disgusting. It was full of litre prawns, the sort of prawns you get from a frozen bag from a cheap frozen food shop. The taste was disgusting and it tasted as though it was undercooked. Don’t be fooled by the posh and expensive imagine when you walk inside the shop, it may look funky and trendy when you walk in but the food is awful! And to top of all off, it was served off three 15-16 year olds, hardly even out of school hardly (cheapest of workers) and the service was rude and abrupt. I will not be going here again and even our kids didn’t like it and they said that we needed to go back to our normal regular Chinese. Shame it is a Tuesday and it was closed which is what made us go here tonight. Never ever again! I would not recommend this place to anyone. Oh and it’s severely overpriced!

Last time we had a takeaway from here it was so bad said we wouldn't go back but we have just tried them again and their nearly back to how it used to be . Food hot and tasty ,staff friendly keep it up !!!

Local takeaway that we have used quite a few times. It’s ok and no better or worse than the others. Perfectly fine but not exceptional.

Food decent,staff pleasant,service ridiculously slow. 50 mins from ordering over counter to being served...no !!!!

Was delicious the house curry and my boys had house special rice was lovely defo going be my local now for a chinese top quality

Food arrived in under 30mins, lovely thick curry lots of chicken, fresh chips and taste rice!

Lovely food but a little disappointed with the happy shopper ham on my chow mein

This Chinese has gone downhill rapidly. Soggy chips and mean portions. The fella on the phone won't win any awards for his customer service skills either. Shocking! Will not be back.

This Chinese used to be the best around !however I’m massively disappointed with how it’s going now. It’s lost its flavour and the chicken is consistently dry with an odd texture. I don’t think I wanted to admit to myself that it’s not nice anymore and I’ve kept trying it in hope, but it’s just simply awful. There last chance has been spent I’m afraid after 35 years of using them I’m extremely sad it’s come to this.

Very tasty Chinese takeaway. Recommand the szechuan chicken and egg fried rice! Also the crispy seaweed is really nice - not too greasy.

M. Nixon The most load of pig swill I have ever seen opened it and it was stone coold supposed to be beef chowmein just noodles and onions and hair

Bought a mini box. Prices been put sky high and boxes made minescule, might aswell be called ‘miniature boxes’. Won’t be returning.

High quality and the standard portions are very large

Line always busy Shut too early Lose out on business

Said 30 minutes for collection ended up one hour, completely wrong order provided and crispy beef was rock solid! One to avoid.

Best Chinese food in UK. I can't comment on the delivery service, as I would never use one

I came for takeaway at 6 tonight waited around 45 mjns dosnt

Absolutely amazing food restaurant quality

Excellent singapore noodles, good amount of spice. Excellent customer service. Thank you

Was told 15mins, took closer to 45mins for collection. Cantonese sweet and sour sauce was tasteless, pork (not sure if there was any) was so dry and batter was thick and solid. Duck in pineapple, were tasteless and uncooked. All in all a disgusting meal.

Delivery driver said he had already been when i specifically said RING WHEN GET TO GATES. Tuck over an hour to eventually get a phone call when was told 30-45m. Was also over charged asked for plane chow mein noodles and get charged for chicken chow mein. No chicken was in my noodles. Was charged £5.90 for just noodles and green beans. On the hole tho, the food is nice and ordered plenty of time before and will continue to use.

Rubbery chicken. Low quality meat. Tasted awful. Usually a good place to eat so very disappointed. Will go again to see if it was just a one off.

Mini munch box. If they took out the hairy chicken wings this would be the best thing in universe. Damn chicken wings.

If i could leave no stars i would! Disgusting is all i can say i ordered chicken curry with egg fried rice, chips and prawn crackers. The rice was hard very dark in colour and had an awful smell to it, the curry (if you can call it a curry) was the consistency of left over custard with 7 strings of onion and the chicken (not real chicken) was a disgrace will never order from here again very dissapointed and its not the first time! The prawn crackers were ok.

Food was top notch, service good. Don't take cards had to pop to shop im blackhill, little 1980s not taking cards. Will return

Fantastic food! On par with The Pavilion, I definitely recommend it,

Best Chinese takeaway in our area, never had a bad experience yet, food is delicious, I recommend the munchie box!

Had several take-away meals from here recently all of which have been excellent. Top of our list for take-away food.

Best takeaway in the area, i would highly recommended to anyone looking for great food and a top quality service.
