Golden Leaf in Chichester

Appalling takeaway on Saturday 16th November.My meal tasted overwhelmingly of garlic with no discernable Chinese spice and the beef was so tough it was inedible. Not cheap either as we ordered a lot of dishes for others. If it hadn't been so late I would have taken it back.

Extremely disappointing. Ordered a takeaway admittedly at the busiest time but this should not in anyway detract from the quality of the meal. The beef was tough and tasteless. The same applies to the duck. Both of the main courses seemed to have been boiled in water hence the blandness of the food. Not cheap either!

We went for the first time. It was great 👍

Food was spot large portions. Staff friendly and pleasant. Lovely clean environment. Reasonable prices too. Would definitely recommend this.

Fresh and great food - especially starters. Quality cooking.

Very good food and lovely service. Would visit again if I return to Midhurst.

I’m that kid from earlier who’s mother bought me 4 fortune cookies You’ll get more secure and confident with your relationship with co-workers You will be able to undertake and accomplish everything Make sure to laugh everyday it’s good for your health That fortune is wired Also those were 3 fortunes I grant to this business If I had to pick any Chinese on earth it would be this one There are so many things good about this place may your god bless you :) 5 Stars

Had my birthday meal here, and the service and food was excellent. There were 11 of us, and our food came out on time lovely and hot. Best chinese I've been to for a long time.

1st time visit for a Fri night takeaway - absolutely excellent -one of the best Chinese I have ever eaten - will certainly return. Also very friendly reception when ordering.

We’ve had two really tasty meals here and the staff are lovely.

Very nice bit on the prices side.. it took a quiet a bit of time getting the Order in.... A little bit of pushing on the drinks ..Bypass adults and asking the kids constantly for more drinks running the bill up

Always great food and great service

Can't fault the food which was beautifully cooked and LARGE portions. We went on a saturday night and pre-booked. Just as well as it is only a small restaurant and it was packed (about 35 covers). We waited over 40 minutes to get drinks and about another half hour for the food. Not a problem for us as we were on holiday and were chilled. We had two spare seats on our table and offered them to a lovely couple who just turned up hoping. They were local and explained that this rush of people was not normal but was probably due to the races being on. However, there appeared to be only one front of house lady who was serving, hence the delays. The other staff appeared to be doing the adjacent takeaway service and popping over to help as-and-when. Not good. A little pricey but the food was exemplary. Would recommend, but perhaps NOT on a Friday/Saturday evening.....

We love eating here. Very clean, fast service and always delicious fresh food. It’s the best Chinese food we have eaten!

Traveling back from London, me and my partner stopped off at Golden Leaf for a sit down meal in their restaurant. The food was fresh, the service was 5 star. We were amazed at how clean the restaurant was. Just all round good food and experience!!

We have been coming to this Chinese frequently since we moved here a couple of years ago. It is always consistently good with delicious food and very meticulous and friendly service. And last night was no exception. A definite favourite in our book and looking forward to visiting again soon.

Delicious food with generous portions - one thing I often find when ordering tofu dishes is that you get about five pieces of tofu only. But not this place - when you're a veggie it's really important to get a decent serving of protein and Golden Leaf provided! Decor was very stylish and comfortable and the service was great. Staff were lovely. Will return.

Dined in early evening and had a delicious meal with efficient service. Wish I had a Chinese restaurant this good near me!

Lovely, friendly and helpful staff. There were a couple of things we wanted that weren’t on the menu and they happily made them up for us. Hot and tasty food, finished off with a very large pot of Jasmin tea. Very clean restaurant and rest rooms. Would highly recommend. Thank you Golden Leaf!

Specifically asked for it not to contain certain ingredients but it arrived with the ingredients in the order should have had chicken balls No chicken balls. The special chow mein had 1 prawn and mostly veg the noodles were the very fine ones No sauce. It was uneatable I threw it away and wasted over £20. How anyone could say the food there is good is beyond me. Seems they could only get the rice correct. Never eating from there again.

What a treasure of a place, very attentive service and really tasty well prepared food. Contemporary interior and everything looked appetising and was served beautifully

We have had many takeaways from Golden Leaf and have eaten in on a few occasions. Food is always delicious, fresh and always hot when we pick it up. We have enjoyed eating in, it’s very warm and cosy and lovely service!

By far the best Chinese I have had, service on point, atmosphere was chilled and the food was.... excellent. Will definitely be back again 😁😁😁

Always great food and customer service.. highly recommended

We got a take away last Friday and it was superb in every way. Well done to everyone at the Golden Leaf

Decent Chinese takeaway. Best in the area no doubt

Best Chinese in a long time. Could taste the flavor in each different dish. Defiantly give it a try.

Great Chinese place. Modern inside and always on time. Takes cash and card which is ideal. No complaints.

As usual the best Chinese. We are very fortunate to have this Chinese .

One of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to locally. The food is wonderful.

We had a wonderful dinner at The Golden Leaf on a recent Friday night. The staff were warm and welcoming and the food was truly the best we have had in a very long time. I have been thinking about the prawn chow mein ever since! The restaurant is spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated and I was extremely pleased to see that they had air conditioning on what was quite a warm evening. The food was presented beautifully and was simply delicious. Georgia, our lovely waitress was so sweet and charming and truly made the evening special for us. We have kicked ourselves that we haven't come in sooner but will certainly be back again soon. Thanks again for a 5 star evening.

Beautiful veggie set menu! just as a recommendation, would be great to have an alternative set menu to current vegetarian one as we are regulars. Thanks!

Everything is lovely, beautiful place and the young lady there was super 😊

A great place for a Chinese Takeaway pick up or have a delivery. also a sit down restaurant I've not tried yet ( one day )

Great and friendly service, food was authentic and amazing. So glad to find this gem of a restaurant!

my pics doesn’t do this restaurant justice - it’s a beautiful restaurant with thoughtful decor and table placement. authentic chinese food, incredibly thoughtful and attentive service staff. would highly recommend

Went there for my 50th and the food was amazing as always. It all tastes so fresh, with just the right amount of seasoning, perfectly cooked. I have eaten and worked in many Chinese restaurants and this is among my favourites! The service there is second to none, the staff are all very helpful, friendly and above all else polite!

This is a local restaurant for us (we live in Midhurst) and we feel very lucky to have it. The ambience is peaceful and calm and the decor is upmarket and tastefully done. The food is superb offering different dishes to the takeaway side of the restaurant including a small selection of Dim sum and Lamb with ginger and spring onions! The staff are always very attentive and polite and it is very reasonably priced. We keep going back!

Staff are amazing very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent Restaurant is super clean

Ordered a delivery. The first time I've paid so much for delivery from Golden Leaf. £8 on delivery for a max 5min drive on an order over £30!!! Only then for the bad tempered delivery driver to complain about the road conditions damaging his car (like its our fault!) and threatened that he was not going to deliver here again .... only once he realised I wasn't willing to tip this time!!!! ... 30 mins late and cold food. Golden Leaf.... your drivers really let you down! Food is OK but deffinatley not worth delivery fee and bad customer service now.

Excellent food. Very Tasty. Excellent staff. Friendly and Helpful. Excellent restaurant. Clean and well decorated.

We almost didn't come here because the reviews were so mixed but thank goodness we did. This was, without exception, an outstanding meal, I've eaten Chinese food all over the world, this ranks right at the top. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the staff are lovely, the service was more than worth the 10% charge that someone else complained about. My only negative is that we are only in Midhurst for a couple of days and live too far away for this to be a regular haunt. Golden Leaf, you've spoiled me for other Chinese restaurants!

We have been here a few times and always had such a lovely meal,but the last time we went although the food was excellent when we came to pay there was a 10 per cent service charge on the receipt which didnt appear on the menu,this made the meal very expensive,sadly we will not be going again.

One of the best Chinese takeaways I've had for some time! The food was hot, well cooked and really tasty. The ribs were great and the egg fried rice was so fluffy. Definitely will return!

Another excellent meal in the Golden Leaf. We have eaten here a few times now and the food is very good. Service is exceptionally. The time before last, we asked Felix to arrange lobster (Chinese style), with a whole seabass in ginger and spring onions Which was a special order. It was executed brilliantly and couldn’t recommend it more. Well done to Felix and all the team. Highly recommended.

Golden leaf what bad name. I come from Shenzhen to England and this the item I have to eat. This taste worse than the smog in city. There be a little a boy who be racist. He mock my accent and my eye, he call me chink . His name Alfie please rid of him.

Four of us went there for dinner, after dinner we asked for the desert menu and they told us they were very busy and not doing any deserts. My friend ask them for coffees and again they told us not serving coffee as they were busy. Very bad service, we went there for a seat down dinner and not a take away. Never been in a restaurant that refuses to serve coffee to they customers. Avoid them.

This was without doubt the best Chinese meal I have ever had in the UK! My favourite was probably the crispy shredded beef. Absolutely amazing!!!!

Terrible restaurant that doesn't have a desert or even coffee. 4 of us had dinner there, after we ask for the sweet menu and they didn't had any at all, then we asked for coffees and they told us they were very busy to serve coffee, so NEVER again. Avoid them or take some coffee with you .

Fantastic restaurant, superb food quality and service.

Amazing food, friendly attentive staff, lovely decor, the best Chinese food I’ve had in a very long time. Portions were perfect I HIGHLY recommend

Having had excellent take-away meals for some time, we decided to have a family meal in the relatively new restaurant, it opening much delayed by Covid, etc.. The staff were welcoming, and the ambience comfortable. The menu is far smaller than the take-away selection, but significantly different, there being additional Dim Sum items. We had an excellent meal, freshly cooked, served sequentially without rush. The Dim Sum was outstanding. The main dishes were well seasoned, and spicy where indicated. Chopsticks were available if requested. This is a good place to enjoy quality Chinese cuisine.

The food was cold and meagre, the atmosphere was horrendous I couldn’t hear a thing over the tens of screaming children. The only quality of this so called restaurant was the service. There was one scrawny fellow named Alfie I think, who made the meal bearable. I hope he is payed well as he was so helpful and polite.

Food was ok, atmosphere was tense with 13 crying babies, there wasn’t anything golden about this leaf apart from this tall, ugly, lanky streak of piss who really put the sparkle into the gold

Food was ok at best, atmosphere was tense with 13 crying babies, there was nothing golden about this leaf apart from this tall, skinny, ugly, lanky streak of piss who really made the evening sparkle (would rate the value of the food off the charts bad but i cant)

First visit here with friends last weekend, we ordered 6 dishes between the 4 of us, very nice service and surroundings. The food was really good, great portion sizes and we ate every last scrap. I would say it was very good value and will...

One of the nicest Chinese meals I’ve ever had The service was good and the staff very friendly The portion size was good also

Disgusting food and even worse customer service. Try and get refunded and you’ll see what I mean! I wouldn’t eat here again if it was free.

We booked a table to celebrate an 80th birthday and what should have been an evening of fun lead to disappointment as we waited over 3 hours to complete our meal. There were 6 of us in total and was we encountered was complete chaos....

It was our first time at the Golden Leaf, we were visiting friends. The service and food was excellent. From the Hors D Oeuvres, the Duck pancakes, Crispy Beef, it was all Delicious. Lovely place not to big, attentive Waiter. Would highly recommend a visit.

We have been to a lot of chineses and have high expectations. Golden Leaf never disappoints whether for take away or dining in. It is by far the best Chinese in the local area. Highly recommend.

This restaurant is newly refurbished and is very smart. The food was great, especially the mixed starter. It was fairly quiet when we were there so the service was excellent.

Very disappointing. Hot and sour soup was ok but everything else was bland dry and no flavour. Very limited menu, no spare ribs or curry.

Got food yesterday, partner and I now have food poisoning. I have stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhoea, he has heartburn and diarrhoea. Is a shame as the food tasted nice

Staying close by Midhurst and decided we fancied a Chinese on a Monday night. Used trip advisor and found Golden Leaf only 15 minutes away. Was really surprised to find I should have booked, but thankfully there was one table not reserved. The menu is...

Good food, polite and professional service.

Tastiest Chinese ever. Great restaurant, clean and tables well spaced. Lovely attentive waitress, fast service, great choice and prices are excellent. Ample portions. Customer service was delivered and they certainly went the extra mile. We will be back again and again, best restaurant in Midhurst.

We'd had good experiences of take away from here and so tried the restaurant. It is beautifully decorated with tables well spaced. Service was excellent and the food was excellent, with good choices and variety on the menu.

Wonderful food, the tastiest Chinese food around. So welcoming , fast service. I look forward to my visits to Midhurst especially when eating here x. I love their lemon chicken .

The food is very good but having been a number of times we just can’t understand why they can’t get the food out at the same time . Last straw Saturday we had 3 starters one at a time , 40 minutes later one main...

We have really tried with this place because the food is good but the service since December is appalling. Last night three of us went for dinner, when we arrived at 6 p.m there was only one other table seated & they had ordered. We...

Had my first takeaway from here new years eve and I will never be returning! Food was disgusting chicken chow main was completely dry no sauce chicken was brown and fatty (looked like pork) chips were old and reheated in a microwave! Omelette was ok but was bland! Sweet and sour chicken balls were fine but the sauce left a funny metallic aftertaste in my mouth! Oh and this place is cash only! Who is cash only during covid??

A family meal, with 6 in our party. 4 Of us had travelled up from Devon. Excellent food, well presented and with very friendly & attentive service. Will definitely go there again next time we are in Midhurst.

We had such a lovely meal and very reasonably priced.

In the past my husband had purchased very good takeaway whilst staying in the area for work and had always wanted to "eat in". After a lovely evening at the Cowdray Park Light Trail we popped in to dine here. We were one of only...

Celebrating our Ruby anniversary in lovely surroundings. Excellent food and attentive but not intrusive service. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thoroughly recommend.

We had a lovely midweek evening meal here for 4, service was quick, efficient and very friendly. Both the starters and mains tasted as nice as they looked, thank you very much. If we were locals we'd certainly return time and time again. Good price,...

Have had takeaway from here several times and always thought the food has been great. Best takeaway available in Midhurst

Had the most amazing take away tonight, haven't used you before, but will certainly be back again, this Chinese went downhill a few years ago so stopped using, but a friend had been in for sit down meal and said how nice it was, so...

Had a most excellent meal here. So fresh and tasty, the best Chinese meal I've had in years. Ate here on a Thursday night with my two teenage kids whilst we were staying in the area. The staff were friendly and helpful, we couldn't have asked for any better. Midhurst, you are lucky to have the Golden Leaf!

Very good food and polite staff. Some dishes were not as expected but I think regional differences may be the cause. Our local special fried rice is fried rice with chopped up pork, chicken, beef and prawns mixed in but this restaurant had half a...

We had an excellent meal in the newly opened restaurant, we have been using the take away for years and the quality of food has always been very good. The service was good, friendly and quick. Cannot fault any of the dishes, the mixed starter...

What a great restaurant- probably some of the best Chinese food I have had in a very well appointed setting and will definitely be back! Mavis and Ying are two of the of them loveliest people to serve you and nothing seems to be too...

Having recently moved to the area we thought we would try our local Chinese restaurant and I am so glad we did. The decor is modern and pleasant, the service is excellent and the food is delicious. We had the mix starter which was very...

Lovely meal here tonight made all the better by very welcoming and attentive staff. Would definitely recommend - especially the duck in plum sauce!

The newly opened restaurant is fantastic….. Just visited the restaurant and what they’ve done to it is amazing. The decor and atmosphere is really lovely and smart. Staff are excellent, so polite and attentive. Toilets, spotless. The food was fantastic. Mixed starters, dumpling and salt...

This was an amazing find. Really lovely food, and very friendly waiting staff. The restaurant is newly opened, having been only a takeaway in the past.

Amazing tasted great service was incredible. And really great price

We tried this restaurant for the first time for my husbands birthday. Six of us ate, our food was beautiful and good size portions. The staff were amazing and super friendlyband helped with birthday cake at the end of our meal. The cost was also...

We have been enjoying their excellent take aways for a long time, but the restaurant has just opened. The food was all freshly prepared and beautifully garnished, and such nice, friendly service.

Fabulous freshly cooked food! Superb value with wide variety and great quality. Also wonderful hospitality - the owners and staff were really sweet and generous. Really looking forward to the restaurant opening. Highly recommend!

Amazing food! Really great hospitality, very clean, great vibes, very kind owners and the food is really great! Definitely recommend.

Another 3 strikes and you're out review. Sour, stale beansprouts and carrots in my Singapore noodles, how miserly is that? Beansprouts and carrots cost pennies, sling the old rotten ingredients and replace daily. Reheated pork and burnt cashew nuts, face it, you recooked yesterday's dish...

Our order was missing an item. Golden leaf were fantastic sorting it out straight away. Thank you for a lovely meal

Thank you for another lovely meal. Ordering and delivery was easy and the food was great! Dumplings are my favourite!

Amazing takeaway. Can’t wait for the restaurant to be opened!! Would recommend to all for fresh cooked food. Nicky Owen-Hughes

Amazing. Great restaurant quality food from this Midhurst take away. Properly cooked with all dishes having their own individual taste. From the starters to the duck to the main courses. Lovely! Mark

Food was top notch and very tasty , a lot better then the Chinese I usually get in London.

Really tasty food and inexpensive too - I've had many takeaways from other restaurants that have not been as good, yet cost significantly more. Highly recommended.

The best Chinese food I've had in a long time and very reasonable, highly recommended. Great service even though busy...ignore negative comments! Thanks x
