We arrived for a birthday celebration we was on 2 separate tables. Plenty of food but not fresh and no chow main out. Waited over 15 minutes for drinks then asked what did we order. The kids did enjoy the desert area.

There was plenty to choose from and we really enjoyed it. Bonus was, if it was your birthday, the meal is free. The staff was very welcoming and friendly so would definitely come again 🙂😋

Visited last night (our 2nd visit)… cost £56 there about for 2 buffets a cider and a Pepsi. Good variety of food . I’ve yet to visit a buffet where the food is piping hot and this was no different. The one thing I noticed last night that wasn’t there last time was pre assembled burgers that were there the whole of our visit (I think it would be more beneficial for the business if they cooked them to order ) . I enjoyed the food, it was tasty , some more than others - I love the Singapore rice. Puddings are the money maker for me so make sure you leave some room for them. Fresh fruit, chocolate fountain, ice lollies, ice cream, profiteroles, cheesecakes …. For me there was a good selection … super friendly staff too and the lady who books you in behind the bar (was there on both visits ) is an absolute delight …. Would we return - yes we would ❤️

The cheeky buggers. I ordered a takeaway yesterday, i knew straight away that the noddles, pork, and duck were from the buffet, not freshly cooked. Probably a few hrs old. ( only know this as I work in the industry). So food Dry and tough. Noodles....BAD. Wish I took photos now.

From when I walked in it looked pretty nice and very fancy so I was expecting for what we paid it would be 5 star and then when it came to the price 52.88 for two all u can eat and 2 pint size Pepsis so price first off not good most of the meats was fatty and barley any meat to it was mostly cold even tho we came in 30 minutes after they opened so u could of thought it all was going to be boiling but not as expected on the arrival then was let down by the fact I had hair in my food most the fruit was stale and most of the desserts was very cheapy low quality for how much they are making u would of thought it would be best of Best But was not impressed definitely won’t be coming here again a total rip off

Ordered food to be delivered at 19.30. Came bang on time but was stone cold, small portions and everything felt dry and shrivelled up. Chips were mainly scrap ends and everything tasted bland. Also super pricey. Wouldn’t order again

Visited before became the new buffet and loved.. Tried the new style last night, note we paid £70 for 3 of us, which felt very pricey and had to pay on entry. Food was plentiful and lovely and hot. Duck pancakes very tasty, rice and noodles lovely. Loved the mussels and king prawns! Lots of sweet and sticky balls, crispy chicken, stayer nibbles and chips. Son well pleased with the Domino quality pizza!

Been going here for a while, either this one or one a bit more local to us. Never had a bad meal from here, the manderin sauce is by far the best! Both lunch sized meals (half and half) are great portion sizes as well a full evening chinese, always left overs for next day! Prices are fair tooOnly issue sometimes have is the pots of sauce are not always hot, more warm, but quick 30 seconds in microwave does the trick.Will continue to use Golden Gate in the future

If you’ve been smart enough to read a review, be smart enough to take my advice DO NOT ORDER! This is the worst food I have encountered for a long time, quality bad, Flavour worse and I’m still being reminded of my meal many hours on. Wish I’d made beans on toast!

I’ve had Chinese from here on and off for years but the one we had last week was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect from the chips and rice to chilli beef and chicken balls. The portions were very good. The food came within 40 mins. I thought when I ordered it was a little pricey BUT it was worth every single penny and I can’t wait for my next meal.

Tbf the meal arrived very quickly. If only they’d taken more time! I had salt n pepper shredded chicken. There was no salt, no pepper and no chicken. Just deep fried batter. The wife had crispy chilli beef which came half covered in sauce. The egg fried rice was also poor and had no egg in it that we could tell. Don’t bother with this place. Take your cash elsewhere.

We tried this place for the first time and it was awful. One of the dishes was just red coloured gloop with no flavour and pieces of chicken deep fried, it was actually inedible and went in the bin. The other dish was a chow mein this was a little better but the quality of the meat in it was poor. The ribs would have given a dog a saw jaw!! I'm not a fussy eater but this was bad. Don't waste your money try elsewhere.

After trying this takeaway against my better judgement how I wish I'd stuck with my gut instinct. The bland food arrived after an hour could with as much taste as the mud in my garden , I had a choice of bland chicken curry , congiled egg fried rice or noodles that could easily have come out of a packet from Aldi. I advised the rude "lady" who took my order that my wife was allergic to fish and nuts so I must thank her for sending the prawn crackers although it may have put my wife out of her misery rather than eating the food.

Bought a meal, beef chowmain. Got it home niece said it has a strange smell. When I looked it was burnt. That was not the problem so much, it's just when we buy a meal out as a treat, so disappointed when you can't enjoy it. Then when I took it back, the lady said nothing, then took the meal into the kitchen, came back said "do you want a meal now. I said no and she offered me a credit note. To be fair she said you can have something else, I asked for another meal then she said, it has to be the same price. I agreed then left. In brief , no real apology, no real recompense ( a meal and maybe an extra for my troubles) I always eat from the China Palace, were I have never had a bad meal, unfortunately it was closed so went to the Golden Gate, I will never go back again, all it takes is common courtesy and better customer skills. Very poor.

Service incredibly poor. Took payment for an order, not all of the order was in the bag. Was asked to go back down to collect, again. Alternatively they would take off the bill next time. My food would of been cold had I gone back down and I would never order from there again. Unpleasant, not helpful, disinterested, took payment but did not deliver service or product. Food very tasteless and bland and not even hot. First and last time I use golden gate and would strongly recommend anyone else to go elsewhere. Very unorganised and extremely poor quality. I feel so strongly about it I'll even raise with trading standards because they are promoting a service/product and are not delivering.

Absolutely vile food, tasteless and cold, can't even cook chips and the rice was so clogged together that it blocked the toilet when we tried to flush it away, it all went in the bin as even the dogs wouldn't touch it and we spent the night up with bad stomachs, thanks a bunch for £30 couldn't even deliver on time, turned up half an hour early so the guests we had weren't here, in a way thank god so they didn't see what rubbish it was

Can't comment on the delivery service as I live a 2 minute walk away and that would be lazy! I. This is one of the best Chinese Takeaways I have used... ever. Favourites are the sweet and sour chicken balls with special fried rice (That does 3 meals!) and the crispy duck. Friendly staff as well and always busy in there. Visited many times in the 2 years I have lived in the area, Brilliant value for money too! Also good for a sneaky chilled bottle of wine if you suddenly fancy one at 10.30pm - They stop serving that at 11pm.

I ordered a set time for delivery around 2pm , to be ready for 8pm. Gave the shop a call at 8:05 to ask where it was as we had given plenty of notice to prepare.

brilliant service from jade garden, have ordered from here a few times since moving to the area and food is always delicious . Recently, there was miscommunication between myself and the lady who took my order over the phone - I ordered chicken in black bean sauce with peppers but she misheard me and thought I said beef, when she read back the order I misheard her read back beef to me instead of chicken. Very disappointed when I received beef in black bean rather than chicken as I don’t eat beef. I rang them to explain and they happily sent the delivery driver back to pick up the beef in black beef to replace it with the chicken in black bean and not extra cost which I was so grateful for. Thanks so much from a single mum who hadn’t had a proper meal all day and was so excited for my Chinese! Highly recommend Jade Garden. Gorgeous food and brilliant service. Thanks so much again!

Having left a review previously due to delivery issues and the wrong dish delivered, I didn't use Beijing House for quite a while. Decided to try it again and in fairness I have had 2 deliveries recently and service and food has been excellent 👌 😋. Definitely back to my Chinese takeaway of choice, keep up the quality, please Food was okish, prawn crackers missing, phoned to complain and they blamed the driver, then I discovered I had chicken chow mein, I ordered Singapore chow mein..this was my favourite Chinese takeaway used to be outstanding..£40 spent so expect better
