Golden Mountain in Cheltenham

have you changed chefs? because the last two meals we have ordered as home deliveries have been disgusting. our satay chicken on skewers lacked sauce my chow mein certainly wad not freshly made. my husbands beef curry was only half a portion and chips very greasy. please avoid this Chinese if you want a decent meal!

Delicious food cooked well and very tasty. Arrived in good time before the expected time stated. Will definitely order again from here.

Ordered over £100 worth of food so had a great spread and everything was great. Non greasy and tasty. Would highly recommend.

Chips not cooked through, frozen inside. Chicken balls very dry. Wouldn’t recommend

Good prices and helpful staff food definitely recommended

Food is gorgeous, sit-down all you can eat is good price

ordered just before 7.30 pm kept changing the time of delivery. 9.20 pm finally arrived. 2hrs after ordered and soggy blinking frozen oven chips with a bit of spice on

Thank you - love our food. Grateful you deliver too!!

Great food, warm when delivered - will order again

Food was amazing! Really nice x

The buffet is not really a buffet. You ask for something and they insist it must be shared, what you can ask is very controlled. Very misleading. Outside the door it says eat as much as you want. Not true, they restrict what you ask and the amount. I have been here before and eat from the main menu, it was ok. After this very restricted and controlled "buffet" experience, will never be back. Also their explanation as how this works is very confusing. Can't recommend at all. Very disappointing.

the duck was slimey and I couldn't eat it and the chicken was over cooked

it was really bad as I've told you last night and am not happy about it as it was put in the bin 🙃, and I sent pictures which you asked for . I am really struggling with this and very upset about it as costs £29.00

food was vile! chicken balls dry! frozen crinkle oven chips soggy, oil/grease over everything! rice was dry, curry sauce and sweet and sour both horrendous, spent £30 on what was definitely not worth it! wont order from here again!!

DISGUSTING!! Order chicken curry, chicken chew main, chips and curry sauce and it was absolutely swimming in grease and cold, they told us £21 on the phone when they delivered they charged us £31 and it all went in the bin, NEVER AGAIN 🤮 🤮 🤮 The delivery man started sweating at my mum. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

easy to order and delivered with professional customer service.

Friendly delivery driver, amazing food!

I made a mistake re delivery address, and despite being last minute, the restaurant managed to deliver. Thanks

absolutely fantastic food, all piping hot and very tasty......only thing that wasn't great were the chips but the kids didn't seem too bothered and ate them anyway, will definitely order from here again.

Was absolutely vile. We didn't even eat it. Just the look at it was enough to bin it. Would not recommend ordering from hear.

This was a takeaway I had from this place I don’t usually review, but it was so bad I wanted to let people know. The worst was the salt and pepper chilli chicken , it looked anaemic , it was on the bone instead of small pieces of fresh tender chicken , vile

Absolutely beautiful food I had a set meal box for one and it was very fresh we also had vegetarian pork and egg fried rice also beautiful and fresh. Fast delivery great price

My child likes it, so thats good enough for me.

Ordered the special fried rice for take out , got home found out the food was very slimy. I am NEVER going there again!

We had a buffet. Just be aware - there is a service charge, you can't take food you haven't finished and the service is very authentic (abrupt). Our vegetarian friends ordered soup and "vegetarian duck", which was slices of pastry in batter. Why call it a duck?! We were told "if you order it, you have to eat it" (flashback to childhoods when you were told you are not leaving the table until you are finished). Re food: I followed recommendations of people from reviews and they were pretty spot on. Vegetarian dishes are pretty disastrous:)

only good thing about the whole £60 meal was the spring roll. everything else was swimming in oil. shocking food tbh chicken in the chicken balls was hard like it was cooked 3 days ago and the sauce was literally covered in oil.

food tasted good, but having spent over £80 there was one very big disappointment, The Beef Rendang at £2 to £3 more than other curry's, not only did it come in an half height container but only came up half way, basically about 5 tablespoons, making this over £2 per spoon, disgusted that they think they can rip me off with a overpriced babies portion, always liked the Golden Mountain, but now won't ever go back there again.

What a muddle with ordering…… we went with a pre booking for large party….. spring rolls were like ones purchased from Tesco….. seaweed had lots of sugar or something on it….. never had tasted seaweed like that before…… food not hot….. very unappealing….. told there was no crispy duck although on the menu…… vegetarian crispy duck was like flat batter…. I’m not sure where the duck is associated with it…… on the whole I’ve never experienced a Chinese meal like it…… I’d give it a miss….. unless you are prepared to eat anything 🤷‍♀️

Went here for my brother 40th birthday the staff was fantastic had a really good laugh food was fantastic freshly cooked to order very good prices just fantastic time here will be coming back soon

brilliant food, as always, and a friendly delivery driver.

food quality/ flavours has really gone down hill. real shame, hope they get back to normal good food again

won ton soup was flavourless an like a bowl of fat from bottom of a grill. large ribs were small and more fat an gristle than meat. the meat that was there was really over cooked an hard. absolute waste of money.

Our go to Chinese to eat in or takeaway. Great price for the buffet and really nice. Staff are great and polite. Wouldn't go anywhere else now in Cheltenham.

The chicken in the Szechuan Chicken (Chilli Bean Sauce) was SLIMY. Has caused my partner and I to go completely off our food.

First visit and we’ll definitely be back. Service was exceptional, as was the food. Nothing was too much trouble for Eric and the team. Such a delightful experience.b

Fab service! Nice hot food and quick delivery. Thanks so much

Excellent driver delivering very kind

Absolutely amazing place, food is always on hot and delicious, service Is spot on, prices are great (even though everything has shot up in price), love their takeaways aswell

Worst delivery driver I’ve ever met. Disgusting behaviour!

chips were sloppy and undercooked. was not updated on app when food was being prepared or delivered.

Curry with no rice,i payed over £6 for so called salt and pepper chips that were oven chips. Not worth the money at all I feel ripped off very bad won’t be ordering again

My was that I pre ordered my food for 805pm the my pre ordered was 1 our before it turns up 30 mins after time ordered.restaurant didn’t answer my call phoned 14 times.Never Again

Took an hour and a half to be delivered and was still late. Was cold when it arrived and I had asked that the Singapore rice not be too ‘hot’ and it was inedible which was so disappointing. Have had great food before so I don’t know what happened today.

Food was good quality, and delivery time was fairly quick - however there was an item missing from the order (luckily just a pot of satay sauce and I didn't want to go through the absolute faff of contacting JustEat for the sake of £3.70) so was a little disappointed, but this was the first time there had been an issue with any orders that we placed here.

The atmosphere and food was great 😁 My fussy kids were absolutely happy with the food☺️ Big hugs for lady at the counter, lovely person 🪻🙏😊

It's been more than 60 mins and the food hasn't arrived

this is the worst Chinese I've ever had. so greasy. the chicken balls were solid and chewy, next to no chicken in the chow mein. and to top it off we were given crinkle cut oven chips that were fried. it was quite expensive for the poor food we received

The food was terrible. The chips looked like frozen crinkle cut oven chips deep fried. The chicken in the curry had the texture of packing foam, and the egg fried rice slid out of the container in a gelatinous lump. Never again.

Fantastic food & service... recommend to anyone who likes Asian food

Hi just taken delivery of my meal Inform of price on the phone £35.00 Taxi turned up price now £45.00 Be warned

the food arrived late...but the disappointment was I had french fries(frozen) the food was cold and the chicken balls were the only nice thing. such a shame really...

Ordered through Uber eats. Arrived 30 mins late after having rang them and them claiming they had knocked on the door and rang the telephone number. They hadn’t. Food was bland and tasteless. Probably worst Chinese over ever had

Delicious, as always. Great value for money.

Food was unfortunately cold, muchrooms added to chicken dish not as described and ruined the taste as hate them. Chicken was undercooked and pink, wasn’t able to eat half the dish. Expensive for what was delivered. Won’t be ordering again

Food was good but delivered later than the stated time despite ordering more than an hour before!

Most of the food was cold chips were dripping in sweat waste of time and money👍

Everything was stone cold like the delivery person had walked miles to bring our meal. It wasn’t even edable had to throw nearly £35 worth of food away. AVOID

Returning customers A real treat Thank you 🤩

The prawn toast was a bit over cooked and to oily for my boyfriends liking. The ribs were tasty.

Fantastic food arrived early and very warm. Amazing as ever

Excellent service and delicious food as always!

This is the second time we have ordered from here and the last time food was cold some of it went in the bin as couldn’t eat it, salt & pepper chips was soggy and no flavour they was like £6 for a really small portion, chicken balls was tough and very dry don’t waste your money

Stingiest portion of chow menu I’ve ever seen, chips were small, cold, and stale. Won’t be back.

Great food, our favourite Chinese in Cheltenham! Arrived right on time despite it being New Year’s Eve and probably a busy night, it was hot and fresh. Thank you!

I didn't think in this day and age that a restaurant would chance sending out what I received, 1 chicken curry chicken was seriously off slimy and had separated from the curry 2 chicken in black bean again chicken seriously gone off, 3 egg fried rice dried out rice with a egg planted on top strange taste and colour orderd from uber eats thinking it would be OK but without doubt the worst food ever I would have gave it to the dog but it probably would have killed him, every bit in the bin at 36 quid not a happy camper and would not like to see anyone else go trough the same thing. Seriously Golden mountain beyond unacceptable.

Worst chinese food I've ever had the satay chicken was part raw, the sweet and sour soup was a gluttonous mess. Non of the dishes were rated good by our guests. Not sure how they are still in business.

The worst attitude ever from the stuff how are lying to you about the delivery time and the delivery driver how does not know where to find a simple address.He told me is in the street but he was in another street. Delivery after 1.30 minutes after I put my order.

The food arrived 30 minutes late. The driver didn’t even step out from his car to deliver the food. My daughter she didn’t eat her rice, my food very very spicy. Never order food from them. Call the restaurant and the attitude from the staff was very unpleasant and rude.

Great food delivered right on time. Will definitely be ordering again.

DO NOT ORDER I have never been so disappointed!!!!! Chicken Chow mien was awful noodles were a horrible texture & hardly any chicken. Beef in black bean sauce was by far the worst I have ever tried, Lacked flavour didn’t taste nice and the colour was off…. hardly any beef and the pieces were very chewy not edible at all. Egg fried rice had big chunks of egg which didn’t taste nice also very weird rubber texture to the egg I have never had this before was very strange. Chips were soggy I know that can’t always be helped with chips but every single thing I ordered was absolutely vile I spent £36 for it to be thrown away it was that bad. We waited over an hour very very disappointing. Don’t waste your money and order elsewhere. OVERPRICED & POOR QUALITY.

Brilliant meal and lovely delivery driver as always.

Did was perfect, just missing chips, so one good incomplete

I must preface this review with the fact that we were in early on a Sunday night, and were the only people in the restaurant at the time. I ordered spring rolls, barbecue ribs, sweet and sour chicken with egg-fried rice, and a banana fritter. The spring rolls were unremarkable, but very good and served with a very nice chilli sauce. The ribs were not conventional BBQ, but were exceptionally well-cooked with a more salty sauce. As for the sweet and sour, the chicken was satisfactorily crispy, and altogether tasted very good. The balance between chicken and vegetables was perfect, and they went well with the sauce. The rice was good and complimented the sweet and sour sauce well, although I will say one portion is enough to feed two people. The banana fritter was good, with nothing to note. For all elements, the portion size was spot on and enough to eat a starters, main, and dessert without feeling particularly ill afterwards. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Service was exceptional and staff were excellent and very diligent. Altogether this was one of the best Chineses I have had, with nothing to fault. I would absolutely come back again.

Fantastic tasty food!!. My first time there had the buffet was lovely. Great atmosphere and service very good!!. I must say the bathrooms wernt so good though bit of a smell and not too clean.

So Good!!! The Brother, having ordered from other places, said it was the best he'd ever had 😋.. He'll be Back 😉

This is the worse takeaway experience we’ve ever had in Cheltenham. The food was so greasy it was inedible. We won’t return and would advise others to avoid as it’s expensive as well as poor.

Absolutely gorgeous food and hot

Great tasty food, haven’t been here for years but have been back already since!

Had to call twice & when it arrived it was cold!! Nearly £70 takeaway was a complete waste of money!!!

Last night's food was great, very fast delivery and piping hot food.

Went there for lunch at 13:00 on 12th November and it was not open, according to its hours it is open from 12.

Delicious as always. Great value for money.

Amazing choice of vegetarian food which is incredibly tasty. We’ve ordered twice and have been delighted both times. The delivery person both times has been great and our order arrived quickly which was great. Thoroughly recommend particularly if you’re vegetarian!

The chicken was very fatty, it seemed to be too fatty to be chicken and I couldn’t eat most of it. Please switch to using meat that is better quality

The food wasnt as hot as i would like but was good food otherwise

Two of us went here for dinner and I ordered sizzling chicken with onions. This is probably the worst Chinese food I have had in my living memory. The chicken had the consistency of watery flaked fish and disintegrated when prodded or put in my mouth. Absolutely revolting. The restaurant insisted this was a special kind of chicken called water chicken, which is only available in certain special restaurants in Cheltenham! The sauce is really also tasted old, and slightly burnt. Dreadful, virtually inedible i returned it. The staff were polite and offered me something else, but I have to confess I had lost my appetite by then.

Just amazing. Perfectly cooked with the perfect sauce to noodle/meat ratio

Food was fine, but they missed one dish. When I called they said they would deliver it separately as they missed it in error. As we wanted to start eating I suggested they just issue a refund as we had enough food between us anyway. I allowed a few days but the refund never appeared and when I raised it with Just Eat they said they couldn’t help as it wasn’t raised within 24 hours. Not the best experience

Lovely meal, very flavoursome - pleased with it

Really really poor food, the chicken balls didn't taste very nice and the chicken curry was disgusting, the chicken in the curry tasted slimey, for what we paid for the 2 of us to eat £36 I would like a refund because we shan't be ordering from this place again.

Omelette was,Soggy and wet and too many onions containers were full of water

First time we have ordered from here, pleasantly surprised, great value for money & very tasty food, we’ll definitely be returning.

Only went to this restaurant as it was the only one open early at 4.30pm. However we are glad we did go there because we both had very nice food and an even better welcome from the owner and his wife. They made us very welcome and even helped us to select our food as we were not sure of Malaysian food.

Disgusting restaurant, make me a discount by mistake and they took the money from me(their mistake)cancelled my order and they won't refund my money till next week!!!NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!!

Food arrived hot,generous portions,and everything was delicious. Definitely loved the King Prawn in garlic butter!

Food was 10 mins early but the food was not as good as usual! Sweet & Sour balls were so dry, like it had been sat stagnant. The chicken in cashews had gone gooey which gave a horrible taste and texture. Not good Golden Mountain! Usually can’t fault it!

Great quality food, hot on arrival, driver kept in contact, all round brilliant experience

Delicious food. Will definitely always order my Chinese takeaways from here in the future. Service also was perfect.

Chicken balls were dry but everything else was great

Delicious, hot food, delivered on time, at a reasonable price. Finally a decent Chinese that gets delivered to Bishops Cleeve
