We ordered a salt and pepper chicken main, beef fried rice and a curry sauce which came to £22 to takeaway. Was told to come back in 20 minutes and it was sat on the side going cold while the staff chatted to other people. We got back and opened it up to find 6 pieces of chicken in a load of lettuce!! We called up to complain as we had paid £11.50 for it, and was told that is what you get in the restaurant so that is that, and there is nothing they can do. They don’t care as they know their customers are largely tourists and won’t return anyway so they can rip people off with tiny portions, silly prices and bad customer service

A great Chinese restaurant, The food was excellent. The prawn toast and salt & pepper chicken wings were among the best that I've ever had. The proprietor and her staff were lovely. Eat here, you won't be disappointed.

Absolute gem of a Chinese restaurant 👏👏👏 Really impressed with this place, spotted it when passing and decided to give it a try a few nights later. We had the £30 menu it was amazing plenty of food and choice which was delicious amazing food, and the service was second to none we even had the owner serving us and talking about Chinese cuisine and food .Will definitely call again 💯 thank you 🙏

Really nice food and good sized portions, the staff were really friendly and we were served in good time. Me and my wife shared a prawn toast (tasty and did not skimp on the prawn), we each had a main (I had Szechuan chicken which was really tasty and had a bit of spice to it) and shared a portion of rice. we came in a little late in the day around 8 as service was winding down, we got served in good time despite the many takeaway orders still rolling in.

Please ignore all the negative reviews, I went here for dinner with my parents and it was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes are perfect, it’s really tasty and the staff, particularly the lady owner are very very nice and friendly. I’ll admit that it doesn’t look fancy and could do with a face lift, but that doesn’t affect the quality of the food.

By far the worst Chinese I’ve ever had, nothing had any flavour. we asked for fried rice got boiled rice. Black bean sauce and curry sauce was watery as anything, beef was grey. Nothing was nice and we spent 50 pound. Waste of money and would never go back

Toilets are filthy which should have been a warning to evacuate this joint before ordering. Sign on door saying if you are not dining at restaurant there is a £1 charge for using their facilities. Unfortunate soul who subsequently coughs up and finds no toilet paper. Salt and pepper chicken arrived cold. No apology or explanation given as to why this was. Avoid this place if you don't want to spend a few days suffering from dysentery.

Sat 10 mins waiting for a table without being asked if we would like a drink. 10 mins waiting to give our order. Dishes came 10 minutes apart. Ie, chicken came then 10 mins later my rice came. The prawns were off. Food tasteless and bland. Worst chinese I've ever had and I've had many. Avoid at all costs, and save your money.

Me and my boyfriend got 2 salt and pepper chicken, 2 salt and pepper chips, one egg fried rice and one veggie spring roll. This came to a total of £37 which we only found out when we got there which is pretty expensive. Got home, the chicken and chips barley filled HALF the container and half of it was veg…. The rice and spring rolls were really nice but the chicken and chips had a Smokey taste which was nice but there’s was definitely no taste of salt and pepper. Too expensive, small portions and honestly not even that great :/

Have visited this restaurant a few times over the years and decided to return with the family on this occasion. However sadly on this occasion whilst a family member was enjoying the special chow mein discovered a fly in the meal , yes a fully fledged blue bottle. Obviously we all stopped eating the rest of the meals and was informed that there was a problem with flies in the kitchen!!! and yet they where still cooking and serving food. We where still made to pay for what we had eaten.

Went here with my wife while in the lakes for a couple of days and we had the £28 per person banquet which we thought after the Bland chicken and sweetcorn soup that the rest would not be nice but we were wrong the starters were very nice and aromatic duck was lovely followed by the special sweet and sour dish and sweet and sour chicken which were both very nice so in the end we were glad we tried here and the service was very good.

We visited here purely because it was the first Chinese takeaway that we saw. We ordered, duck, chicken and beef and I can honestly say that none of it was very good. It's a shame because the service was good. The people are very nice but the quality of the food wasn't nice. We were starving, but none of us ate more than about 30% of our meals before we gave up with it. It's a shame because it has a nice location, nice staff but the food let's it down

Starter of duck was ok - fat needed a little more rendering, but was ok for us (family of 4) as a starter. Mains came and were not good. Spicy beef dish tasted weird, Singapore noodles were so dry and the meat was an odd texture! Fried rice ok, salt and pepper chips ok, satay chicken truly awful and no taste of nut at all! Weird taste! All dishes had limited meat content and were not value for money.

Worst food I’ve ever had! I’m not one who says “it was horrible” or “I couldn’t eat it” unless I mean it 100%. I’m sorry to criticise a family run business as well but this food really was awful. I ordered sweet & sour chicken with egg fried rice. It was mush, literally & bland. No taste at all, felt like eating when I had covid & lost my sense of taste & smell. Honestly the worst chines meal I’ve ever had.

We visited the restaurant on a Saturday night and it was quite busy we ordered salt and pepper chicken wings ribs and hot and sour soup for starters the wings and ribs lacked any spice and were quite greasy and bland, they main courses were average and the only dish with a kick was chicken with green peppers and black bean sauce. On the whole not great and wont rush back, the staff all seemed nice and very friendly and it was a busy night so maybe an off night.

Popped in for an evening meal - should have known when 4 Chinese students came in and left without ordering! We opted for a bit of crispy duck and expected it to be shredded, so when we saw the pulverised state of the creature on the plate our hopes were crushed. Our main consisted of lemon chicken (chicken nuggets in a lemon sauce I fear) and special chow mein. The chow mein smelled strange and the noodles had a weird consistency. The ‘meat’ had a slimy, spongy texture that was frankly inedible. Hats off to the waiting staff who were friendly and pleasant and we’d recommend this restaurant to anyone you don’t like! To top the night off the fortune cookie message gave us a 50/50 chance of making it through the night with bowels intact.

Having a week holiday in Bowness with family. Good food and service are excellent with attentive staffs. Kids always love this place for sweet and sour chicken. We will come back again very soon.

La peor decisión que hemos tomado mientras visitábamos Windermere, deberíamos habernos dado cuenta de que no era bueno el hecho de que cada vez que pasábamos estaba completamente vacío. Optamos por un banquete, las sopas salieron con galletas de gambas que tuvimos que devolver 1 ya que estaba frío, el siguiente hors dhouvers tostadas de gambas rizadas sobre fritas y simplemente goteando en aceite, las lonchas de wonton planas de los pasteles nuevamente brillando en aceite brillante, costillas bien palos de grasa masticable, tuvimos que exprimir la grasa de los rollitos de primavera con nuestras servilletas. . . . Simplemente desagradable. Llegaron los platos principales. . . El arroz reluciente en aceite. . . Carne estofada. . . Tiras de goma de cuero dshoe, pollo al curry, pollo procesado viscoso. . . Éramos el único grupo allí, así que esperarías que fuera perfecto. . . . Ni siquiera tenía el café que estaba incluido, ya que otro miembro de nuestro grupo dijo que era café instantáneo y sin sabor. . . . Le dije al camarero cuando llegó la factura que apenas habíamos comido algo de comida en este punto, un chico chino más pequeño vino corriendo bastante agresivo cuando le mencioné la factura, lo que dije fue que estaba preparado para pagar la factura, pero no todo como La comida era tan horrible! ! ! Continuó ignorándome al elegir hablar con una mujer del grupo. . Golpeó 10 de la cuenta. . . . Es seguro decir que nunca volveremos a comer aquí y considerarnos afortunados de no habernos enfermado como algunas personas en las críticas.

LONG POST ALERT, LOL!!We were spending last weekend in Bowness and we really fancied a chinese on Saturday evening, so against our better judgement we decided to risk a meal at the Golden Fortune....I say risk because although we have had good meals there in past years visiting Bowness, i have been severely unwell with D & V the last 2 visits....needless to say we have avoided it the past couple of years....until last weekend! We opted for a set meal for 2...the prawn crackers were thin & greasy....the hot & sour soup was full of diced luncheon meat and was tasteless...the mixed starter was just deep fried (dripping in oil) tasteless and revolting . The prawn wontons hadn't seen a prawn, they were just greasy filo pastry!! The next course of peking duck and pancakes wasn't too bad (but you can't really go wrong there). We opted for sizzling fillet steak Cantonese and salt & pepper king prawn for mains and they were completely tasteless!! The piste de resistance though was the yung chow fried rice, which was tasteless and actually sat in a slick of oil about a cm deep (and was also full of diced luncheon meat, lol )...we didnt bother with tea/coffee and fortune cookie that were included, we just wanted to do one, so paid up and left, having hardly consumed any food (not like us to leave Chinese food, lol)....over £50 down the drain (only pint & half of lager for drinks) and feeling nauseous, why did I not complain ....needless to say we wont be going back...EVER!!! If I could have scored negative stars I would have as it certainly doesn't even merit 1.

We had a standard meal for 2. Phew! Excellent food, hot, attentive staff. Needed a crane to get out of the chair. Price was ok as well. Layout was very pleasant and kids welcomed.

My lovely wife decided that she wanted to go for a Chinese meal for a belated birthday date night. I wasn't so keen having tried to persuade her to go for an Indian (to the place where I recently wrote a very favourable review). However, as is a woman's birthday prerogative we ended up in the Chinese. I can only say as I find and I found that the service and food were superb. We went for set menu B and by the end of the duck course (which was fabulous), we were both completely full and had to take the rest away in a doggy bag (no problem) which we ate later. To sum up excellent tasty food and superb service (our waitress was a lovely, friendly young Latvian lady). The price was astounding (for Bowness) and we both went away very happy and very full.

It was our kids first experience of eating Chinese out in a restaurant and they loved it. You can’t really go wrong with Sweet & Sour Chicken though. My husband and me are vegetarians and ended up eating a lot of beansprouts, onion and green pepper in sauce. Oh and more beansprouts in the noodles aswell. Not the best Chinese I’ve ever had but was ok for a quick family meal out.

Rather than spending £40 you would be better buying a pot noodle miles better and I’m not joking , I don’t know how they exist

We ordered fish and chips and the salt and chilli special which was pictured on the wall. Unfortunately the batter on the fish was soggy. The salt and chilli special was nothing like the picture it was all dried up. Far too much salt and no sign of any chilli. On the upside the lady behind the counter was lovely very friendly and helpful

Nice little take away. Nice chips. Nice chow mein. Wasn't too keen on fried shredded beef. However all in all good. It's convenient, take cards, fast service. Will be back.
