Golden Lee in Chesterfield

First time we ordered from this place and it was absolutely amazing. The food was really fresh and of good quality. Highly recommend!

Food had a weird smell to it. I am not sure if they know how to make Chinese food. Not a single dish was edible. Chow mein was burnt, chicken wings was definitely old.Please avoid this restaurant at any cost! Reply for the response from the owner: Sorry! But I think you are confusing me with someone else. Nevertheless, my comment above still stays the same. Also I can see from the previous reviews commenting on the quality of food and every time you seem to come up with an excuse. I would appreciate it if you could take this as a constructive feedback and improve on the quality. Cheers!

Food was delivered wrong rang up and was told sorry that was my fault but we are busy so nothing we can do open food it was stone cold chips where definitely warm up never again I always use china town next to them but unfortunately there close for a few weeks china town food is 100 percent better than these and services is perfect there never will I use golden Lea again don’t waste your money

Chinese hot and sour soup 🍲 😋 very tasty. Thank you

Chinese hot and sour soup 🍲 😋 very tasty. Thank you

Was over a hour late for delivery, gave me food poisoning and a nasty stomach, Wouldn’t reccomend or use again 😞

Really bad food from here. The taste is unbearable. Smells weird, sour. Would not recommend. We will not be going here ever again. Had to throw it away. YAK

Don’t go to this Chinese, what is stated on the menu isn’t what you receive. Waited 2 hours for this to arrive, ordered a mixed platter, “Satay Chicken Skewers” come with no satay sauce. “Crispy Seaweed” is not crispy but a pot of wet grass. Greasy Prawn Toast. Plain Chow Mein only states beansprouts on the menu (does have other veg but isn’t listed) Ordered a large satay sauce, never came. Spent nearly £60 to not receive what we ordered. Did ring up to complain but they did not have good customer service and even said that it isn’t Satay Chicken Skewers in the mixed platter it just “says that” Will not order from here again, you shouldn’t either.

I recently revisited Golden Lee Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The food was amazing, with incredibly fresh ingredients that made each dish stand out. It was, without a doubt, the best Chinese cuisine I've ever had. Golden Lee has now become my go-to spot for Chinese food. Highly recommend!

Been here many times over the years and it was always good, ordered mixed plater today and it was crazy bad prawn toast was an inch thick soaked in grease “crispy seaweed” was a shot sized pot of pickled grass the only edible thing out the whole box was 4 mini spring rolls 2nd worst takeaway in my life

The food was absolutely horrid been many times before the foods always been fantastic, prawn toast was an inch thick soaken grease and had unknown meat inside the spare ribs we just congealed fat , the satay chicken sticks were full of cartilage “crispy seaweed”was a shot size pot with pickled grass inside veg spring rolls was average rather soggy but I was just happy to have 4 mini spring rolls intact out the whole order devastated is an understatement I’ve loved this place for years don’t know what’s happens gutted!

Horrible old rice and rubber chicken chips awful straight in the bin

Really like the food 🍲!!! Nice and fresh ! Delivery time was pretty good and nice driver . I really love my noodle 🍝

Love the food !!! Nice service and good taste as usual! Thank you guys for my delicious dinner 🙏🏻

Wouldn't order again spring rolls not cooked chicken disgusting not worth the money

Golden lee is going downhill the food is so bland most of the food was disgusting I'll be staying at New diamond Chinese cheaper for the price and the food is a lot nice

Best Chinese I’ve had, highly recommend. Was just over an hour to be delivered on a Saturday. But they was obviously busy. Definitely worth the wait though!! Will be ordering again in the future 😋

Very disappoint this time round usually very good however waited 2 hours and 45 minutes for food to arrive, when did arrive it was unseasoned and was missing part of the order.

Myself and my partner have been looking for a new Chinese to try as the ones we've had recently haven't been great. Ordered from Golden Lee tonight and I have to say this is the one. Definitely hit the spot! 100% recommend! Food was delicious, fresh and delivered hot. By far the best Chinese I've had from around Chesterfield.

Quick delivery and big portions. However, the food is not good. We got the crispy chilli beef which was so sweet it was inedible. The sauce tasted like really sweet pineapple juice. The beef curry wasn't good either. It was bland and the beef was so pale. It didn't taste like beef. The salt and pepper ribs were just Chinese 5 spice flavour on top of onions and a bit of chilli. However, there was a good amount of meat on the ribs. The egg fried rice was OK. All in all it was poor and was not worth £30. Most of it went into the bin. Such a shame.

Just ordered a takeaway and I have to say it was amazingly tasty. We can highly recommend. The chicken in spicy mayonnaise sauce was gorgeous.

First time ordering tonight .....had delivery food.. was hot... service brilliant ..food brill tasty really enjoyed ... definitely be ordering again!

Fantastic food. First time order but definitely not the last. Thank you so much 😁

This is the place to go if you are looking for a delicious meal , this is probably the best in Chesterfield , food is delicious , all fresh ingredients , great range , cooked to perfection , and hot when you get it , quick delivery ,friendly and helpful staff , friendly delivery drivers , not a bad word to say about this place , all good good good.

Great take way tastes lovely and didn't cost a packet either and open on a Monday :)

Food is great, staff at the front are helpful and friendly, delivery drivers are top. Driver was polite, professional and prompt. Better food than most other Chinese takeaways in town. Food was hot and extremely tasty.

Just wondering what happened to the new lady that worked behind the counter , she was lovely, always smiling , and a pleasure to deal with . Really nice lady .

Nice food, always fresh and tasty

Love this place, food is always nice I would give more stars if I could the lady deliver driver is so nice and polite always says enjoy and always smiling

Absolutely shocking customer service. Women taking the order got the order wrong and said it was my fault. Don’t go here, vile customer service.

We enjoyed a take away and found that the food is excellent with good portion sizes and the service is second to none. The food on delivery was piping hot which made a pleasant change from the often lukewarm food we have received in the past from their competitors. This was our first time of ordering and together with the very real pricing it will certainly not be the last ! I can honestly recommend the .'Golden Lee to anyone !

Yummy 🤤 everything is top quality from here the prawn toast etc but I have never had pork as good as this it literally falls to pieces the whole meal is superb the set meal for two is worth every penny Yang enough for two days ! We are fortunate to have three good Chinese locally I can’t say any are bad but this place is outstanding

Used for the 1st time this evening, absolutely brilliant! Everything was delivered hot and fresh. Thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. Would definitely order again and highly recommend! really lovely food, generous portions, good quality, definitely our go to Chinese!

First time trying Golden Lee this weekend as we were in town and decided we fancied a Chinese for a change. Was so easy to view the menu online and order. Prawn crackers and a big bottle of Diet Coke thrown in. We opted for a starter selection for 2, 2 main dishes and a rice dish. At almost £30 it's not cheap, but this is pretty much the going rate to be fair, and it was a bank holiday weekend takeaway treat. The starter selection was OK, again typical for a Chinese, but fine, but the mains were great, plenty of meat and veg in the dishes, and very tasty. I would usually struggle to eat so much heavy food, but not this time! Would definitely use again.

Nice food, been paying for prawn crackers and then decided not to order and came free? It has become more expensive now so looking for new place unfortunately. No issues, they have been great!

Went there last night picked some food up with my son very nice

The best Chinese takeaway in Chesterfield, always fantastic and so tasty.

The food is always top class here. The best chicken Satay Skewers I have ever tasted! Egg fried rice is delicious and you get plenty of it, food is lovely from here best bbq ribs out of most places and beef is so tender staff very friendly and always make you feel welcome. I always recommend it to my family and friends as it's the best place to get authentic Chinese takeaway.👍👍

Best Chinese food in Chesterfield! I've been buy food from here for the past year and Golden Lee never once disappointed. The delivery drivers are polite, professional and prompt.

I love the food from here, the noodles and rice are always dry not greasy. The food was excellent,very tasty,very fresh,the meat and chicken cooked to perfection. The staff are always friendly and the quality has always been good. One of the best takeaway meals I have had! Thank you.

Are local Chinese amazing ✨ it’s always been are go to Chinese lush food always hot. Lovley workers, every bit of food is lush from here. Would definitely recommend to anyone. We always choose this Chinese noting could be better than this one ❤️Good work👍

We bought a meal tonight from here and to be honest we were very very happy, the staff were friendly and helpful, delivery was very good, driver was polite, the food was really tasty nicely cooked and awesome, I like this shop and would hesitate to order again, our experience overall was very good, everything I would expect from a local Chinese Takeaway Shop. We recommend to every Chinese food lover!!

The food and service here is top class! and we very impressed, the flavour of the food was incredible!! Have tried lots of different dishes and really loved it. Just great balance of flavours and lovely freshness. Absolutely our favourite Chinese takeaway now!

This place was recommended to us by a local as one of the best chinese in the neighborhood, and recommendation was 100% spot on! Amazing food, great flavours and very good quality, delicious food, hot and fresh. The chicken satay skewers in particular were amazing, the best satay sauce I’ve ever had. will order from here again. Highly recommended!😘

Worst Chinese I’ve ever had. Staying in the area and read the good reviews about this place. I don’t know why they have good reviews as never had one so bad, if this is one of the best in the area I feel bad for the locals. Would give 0 stars if I could. My advice. Go elsewhere

Absolutely love this place! Amazing food always, last night I ordered the Malaysian Kung Po Chicken and omg I’ve ever tasted anything like it! spicy and delicious. It’s amazing, the most increbile thing I have ever eaten, 10/10 would order again, arrived in 30 minutes still piping hot! Cooked to perfection! Could not have wished for better food! Not greasy or fatty at all. This is now our regular Chinese. Thankyou!

My family and I go here often. We fell in love with their Chicken curry and egg fried rice. There's something about the curry sauce that is like no other! It's VERY moreish and we keep coming back for more very consistent quality. The service is always charming and prompt. highly recommended😍

After reading all the great Google reviews, I must say that made me wanted to give this a try. Food was mediocre. Lemon chicken is a bit dry. The Singapore fried rice noodles taste quite nice but could be better if a little bit more salt or soya sauce was added.

The food here is absolutely outstanding so so nice best Chinese I have ever had by far and very reasonable on price to never go to any other Chinese takeaway again this is a must go to every time hats off to the staff and the chef. Highly recommend

Have been coming here time and time again for the last two years, order is always right, always hot and actually tastes like real food. Consistently good quality food, the staff are polite and always a commandante every need, always impressed. Thoroughly recommend this place. Massive credit to them.

This is an awesome takeaway. The service and food quality have always been exceptional. We tried several different dishes and all of them were brilliant, delicious oriental food full of flavours Great food and even better service. An excellent Chinese that I can’t recommend enough!

Don't no how this has good reviews up there with the worst I've had £31 in the bin

Literally, the BEST Chinese food, from the BEST Chinese Takeaway, I have EVER been to & tried. The food is absolutely always 100% freshly made to your order, and any specific requests you have a happily received. Really authentic food and really good taste! The food is of the highest quality, cooked expertly & portion sizes are very generous, indeed!! Hand on heart, the ONLY Chinese Takeaway that I will go to. Highly recommend 👍

This is my all time favourite take out. Driver was polite and friendly. Food was excellent freshly-cooked and tender beef. Full of flavour it is always piping hot and every dish has its own lovely flavours! The quality of the dishes is uniformly first class. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I’ve recently move into this area and heard great things about this place. They had great customer service on the phone and seemed welcoming. The food was delicious, the 1/2 of a crispy duck and peppery squid was so, so nice. and the delivery driver was super friendly! 10/10 would definitely order again and recommend 🙂

food was cold and shocking golden lee has gone down hill especially for the price I paid

Ordered tonight after reading so many good reviews. Wow food was special. Not from around here and this Chinese was probably the best I've had. The guy said it was too late for delivery (my fault) then did ! Lovely people. Even when I asked for some chopsticks they had and gave me them! Proper Chinese food. Whenever I'm back around will be ordering again.

First time we have tried from here very well pleased with the delivery and the food excellent. Had a delivery today so quick really polite driver. The food was so so good. I loved it. The food we have just eaten was absolutely delicious, crispy beef amazing!! Also prawn toast the best I have ever had. Friendly polite driver. Well done Golden Lee !!!

Home Delivery. Great looking Menu , but the quality was not there. Had a variety of dishes , which did not really inspire me to want to order again. Unfortunately , one of those bog-standard Chinese Food outlets.

They are our favourite Chinese takeaway. Great food and very clean place! Very nice staff! They always serve you with a smile. And incredibly fast delivery. Food is brilliant always hot and fresh... wouldn't go anywhere else great service as always, love the fortune cookies.Thanks WONDER FOOD...

Fabulous mouthwatering Chinese food on every level, gorgeous aromatic crispy duck, Really enjoyed the food from here. Delicious and fresh tasting. Love that the sauce for the lemon chicken was kept separate to keep the chicken crispy. Friendly, and polite telephone manner. the food is really good! Thank you keep up the good work highly recommended.

Very salty. Chicken was tough. Staff rude.

Great food really tasty. Renewed my faith in Chinese food. Prawn toast to die for

Absolutely delicious quality Chinese food and friendly customer service too. Highly recommend. The food came quickly and was piping hot and all the flavours were lovely. In particular the chicken Chow Mein were fab and the crispy shredded beef with chilli was probably the best I've ever had. Give these guys a go!

Always very friendly and the speed of service is always excellent. It almost goes without saying that I love the food too! I recommend the hot and sour soup, beef in oyster sauce, salt & pepper chicken in fact pretty much anything I've had is really nice. Easily one of the best Chinese takeaways I've encountered. Just wish it opened on Tuesdays too!

Just been here for a Chinese while in this COVID 19 Lockdown and must say the food was absolutely gorgeous! The food tasted gorgeous, fresh and full of flavour. May I say the crispy beef was the best I had ordered from anywhere. It had the the right amount of crispness compared to others in the past I have tried which is too chewy. The chicken balls were soft yet crispy and the noodles were flavoursome. 💯 Reccomend! 😊

Nicest Chinese I've had in ages. Ordered off their website & they arrived within 30 mins. Food was piping hot & fresh

Bland food. Was half an hour late. Had to ring 3x before someon would answer. Never going to golden lee again.

Spot on. Nice quality fast service. Recommended!!!

Amazing I had been recommended this Chinese by a work colleague. Let's say i was not disappointed Food is amazing the person that served me very friendly and polite and food portion sizes are spot on. Thank you very much for my experience will return very soon.

Amazing! Yum! The best Chinese! Fresh, hot and tasty food. Always get a service with a smile if that be in store or delivery driver. I cannot recommend enough. Always look forward to my chinese from this place! Highly reccommend.

My recent experience with this place has always been exemplary. Top notch food, very quick delivery, and always very hot to the touch. Also, they are VERY generous, 5 well deserved stars from me.

DO NOT USE ! Absolute joke this place used them regularly but never again ! Ordered at 18:55 and no food at 20:35 rang again and man said it’s on its way 21:05 no food so I rang again to be told it’s been delivered ! They put the delivery guy on the phone who decided to argue with me the he had delivered food ! I had no food . They then sent driver back to see if it had been delivered to correct address I waved at the driver . Another phone call telling me my food had been delivered ! NO IT WAS NOT ! Asked for a refund the man on the phone said sorry no refund I can cook again it’s now 10pm I don’t want food . So much for customer relations near enough calling me a liar . They have now in effect stolen £30 from me and I will take it further and will spread the word every corner of this town about it ! Disgusting behaviour towards a once loyal customer! Had to ring the police before i got my money back may i had to this dont let the reply below make you believe im a unreasonable one here !

Very nice food and delivered on time.

1st time trying this Chinese. Ordered my collection at 7.30, got there slightly early, a very warm welcoming member of staff was very polite and advised that they were just finishing cooking the last of our dishes. Food was hot, fresh and tasted amazing, when we got home roughly a ten minute drive.I’ve eaten at a lot of the Chinese takeaways this is definitely my new favourite. Staff seemed really knowledgeable about their menu and dishes and clean establishment, took the time to tell us about the Malaysian dishes and recommend dishes which we may like. Will definitely be ordering from here more often, Highly recommended.

Food was absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Chow main and the fried rice were amazing, not oily at all, seasoned beautifully. And the salt and pepper chicken...delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back here again.

Amazing! Yum! The best Chinese! Fresh, hot and tasty food. Always get a service with a smile if that be in store or delivery driver. I cannot recommend enough. Always look forward to my chinese from this place! Highly reccommend.

I’ve used this takeaway many many times and for them to accuse me of telling lies is completely unacceptable

Taken our money, after waiting 2 hours we called them to see where food was. Takeaway adamant that they delivered the food and handed it to us (they didn’t) told they won’t refund us and wanted to deliver the food nearly 3 hours after we had ordered it. They have our money and we have no food.

We've been using this Chinese takeaway for many years and it consistently delivers fantastic, tasteful and satisfying food. Its menu has all the classics and a good selection of new dishes including veggie options. You always receive great service and they go one step further if you've any special requirements. Overall, highly recommended!!

I ordered and paid for a meal on line at approximately 3pm, and requested that it be delivered around 6.30pm, the meal hadn't arrived by 6.55pm so my husband rang and was told it would be there in 5mins. The delivery man arrived at 7.10pm, the meal was clock cold we only got half dozen prawn crackers and the wandering dragon dish was just sauce nothing else in it, I rang to complain and was told that was how they cook that dish just sauce! My husband has had that dish for years from takeaways and it has always been with meat and noodles, I didn't want to pay £6 odd for just sauce!! The person I spoke to did not apologise said I could'nt have a refund but offered another meal, which after such bad service declined, to be fair my dish of Mushrooms & prawns was tasty but cold. This was the first and last time I will use this takeaway!!

Very nice Chinese never had a bad one would highly recommend

You pay £4 for delivery (inc service charge) only to wait almost two hours for the food to arrive. The place is literallyy 10 mins down the road, make it make sense.

Very nice food, nicely done and ready on time for collection. So why only 3 stars? 1. The pancake rolls were cold and needed microwaving before they could be eaten, and rice dish was not much warmer - clearly cooked long beforehand and just left. 2. The price charged for online ordering/paying was considerably more than the menu price - about 17% higher, and made the cost of the meal extortionate. Added to that was a 50p service charge, when the meal was collected? Effectively we paid £4.50 more (5 dishes) for ordering/paying beforehand and collecting ourselves! Unacceptable. 3. 'Free' prawn crackers amounted to less than half a bag - about 15 pieces. We felt this was mean and 'stingy'. The whole process gave the impression that they didn't really care. So sorry, we will also be taking our custom elsewhere now.

Best Chinese in Chesterfield by Far!

WoW! I really hate dishonest Google reviewers. Just saw a series of attacks on competitors whilst praising this place. I will never eat from this disgraceful place. Come on Google stop these slanderers!

Last week was our first time we came to that place. But It is absolutely not the last time. With the efficient service, with the first-rate meal food tastes authentic and booze and with the honest pay. friendly service, nice and clean. We will absolutely come back again.

I just wanted to thank you for the outstanding service received. We ordered from Golden Lee yesterday evening and not only the food was delicious but also the service was amazing! My house is tricky to find and the person who delivered the order found it very quickly and has been really professional, kind and lovely! Thanks a lot guys! Receiving such a good service made the food taste even better. I won't go anywhere else! Love it!

We ordered from here for the first time evening. We decided to try Golden Lee, and we were pleasantly surprised. The food is fresh, hot, tastes gorgeous, and the salt & pepper chicken is bloody awesome. Literally the best salt & pepper chicken I've ever tasted! Thanks guys for the lovely food and the great service, you'll be seeing us often!

Had a nice chinese from here tonight was thoroughly impressed. friendly service in store, piping hot food even after a 10 min walk home. Really fresh, expertly prepared veg in the dishes, meat of good quality. Will definitely be my Chinese takeaway of choice from now on. Thank you for a really good, faultless Chinese meal.

Simply amazing - best Chinese in Chesterfield. The honey spare ribs and the lemon chicken are great! The chap on the phone was really helpful too, recommending veggie options and some new bits to try. Salt and pepper tofu is a winner! Speedy service and great food. Can’t recommend highly enough. 🥢

Absolute 5 star place. I've tried loads of takeaways and eat in restaurants and this place is my favourite for taste, quality and value. Absolutely delicious Chinese take-away everything was nicely cooked would definitely order from here again. Great customer service whilst on the phone and also delivery time is great 👌

They will spoil your evening. After waiting 2 hours for a delivery promised within 1-1.5 hours, I rang to ask their ETA to be told I don't know and have the phone slammed down on me. I called but doubt the food was even on its way as they was quick to tell me it was canceled as I requested delivery within 5 minutes. They have zero respect for those that keep them in business. I will not be using again.

It's a good Chinese, quick and efficient delivery. Food is always hot and cooked well excellent fresh food. A great selection of food, tofu dishes available. My best is chicken Kung-Po and Szechuan style dishes. Highly recommended.👍

Absolutely fabulous meal could not fault this at all. Thanks guys you will always have our custom
