Golden Mountain in Cheltenham

This is our go to Chinese and we order from here often, never had a problem with the food it’s always hot and presented well. It always tastes good. We will continue to order from here

kept pushing the time back and STILL didn't get there in that time

The food was absolutely delicious!!! All the flavours were great and the veg still had a very slight crunch, while the meat was juicy and tender. Delivery was estimated for around 1hr but did arrive slightly early, and the delivery driver was friendly and polite. Would def order again.

Lacked flavour and crispy chilli beef lacked the beef

Allwas lovely food and brilliant delivery food allwas hot and yummy

ordered a curry, not very strong in flavour. don't warn you about mushrooms which there seemed to be more of than anything else

We were a group of 6 who visited here midweek and hadn't booked but were easily accommodated. The food was excellent, service was great.

Absolutely delicious really recommend they never disappoint great food

Great food and fast, friendly delivery.

Quiet during the week. Fabulous choice of cooked to order buffet meals. Services was quick and attentive. Had a r selection of quality dishes. Lenox and honey chicken was a great main!

Awful food will never order again!

Food was overly salty and spicy, even for someone used to Asian flavours. The curry potatoes tasted old, like they’d been sitting in the fridge. seafood didn’t seem fresh. The 10% service charge on top felt unnecessary considering the quality. Not a meal I’d recommend or repeat. 整体味道太咸太辣，就算是吃惯亚洲菜的人也觉得吃不下。咖喱里的土豆有一股冰箱放久的味道，明显不新鲜。海鲜也不新鲜。 结账时还自动加收了10%服务费，实在感觉不值。 不会推荐，也不会再来。

I’ve ordered from GM many times and ordered a dish I’ve had several times before (prawn fried rice). I was so disappointed, The box was just over half full , the meal was significantly smaller than normal. It had six prawns and about 10 peas and a couple of sweetcorn in it, it was mostly just a bowl of rice. I’ve been ordering fried rice dishes from here for years and have never had such a small and miserable offering.

didn't read request for no peas, so unable to eat some of meal. noodles watery, and meat dishes had poor amount of meat in. definitely not worth over £50

First time I’ve tried this Chinese and all I can say is never again! Unfortunately it was on mothersday too so ruined it as was inedible. The only thing edible was the rice and free prawn crackers. The egg fried rice had a omelette slapped on top of it,the chow mein was black I didn’t touch it,the curry sauce was swimming in oil and fatty chicken,the chips were soggy microwave crinkle chips and this meal cost me £30. Disgusted. The only good thing was the prompt delivery and politeness of the just eat driver

When I saw the spring roll I’ll be honest I thought it was going to be a bit naff. I fully judged that book by its cover. And I can confirm it’s the BEST GIANT SPRING ROLL IVE EVER HAD. Haven’t seen a plot twist like that since thanos wiped half the world population. It was so worth the wait. It did take a while but no one’s fault - it’s just a Saturday and it’s obviously a popular place for Chinese food. Still in shock now. That spring roll was the best bit of my day.

Always a good meal! And earlier than quoted which is great for ASAP!

We had parts of our order missing. Also they are now adding potatoes (which were hard) in their curry’s, to bulk them out resulting in less meat. Very disappointing.

Chow mein stinks and tastes of smoke

First time visiting. Lovely staff and great service. The food was hot and fresh and better than any other Chinese restaurant I have been to. We ordered a variety of dishes and all were flavourful and delicious. The staff inside are very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend! Thanks

As always Golden Mountain have outdone themselves. Amazing food and the delivery was 45 minutes early. I never order from anywhere else if I’m after a Chinese in Cheltenham 🥡

Really disappointed! I am a local who ordered for delivery. Delivery time at time of order was 1 hour. We received our order 2 and a half hours later! I called the restaurant when it was half an hour late and was told it was on its way. They then promptly put the phone down on me. I called again when it was an hour late and the person I spoke to was very rude. Told me it was on the way and again put the phone down on me. When the food finally arrived it was too greasy, luxe warm and had a hair in it that wasn’t ours! I appreciate it is race week but the restaurant should adjust its delivery times accordingly so customers can make informed decisions. If I knew it was going to me a 2 hour+ wait I wouldn’t have bothered.

We can always rely on Golden Mountain to give us good quality food. Definitely our go to for a Chinese takeaway 😋,keep up the good work.

food was cold ordered the standard 10 sweet and sour chicken balls,and only got 8,chow mean was like it was cooked yesterday disappointed standards have slipped

Absolutely delicious food, for some reason there was mint chewing gum in the bag which had been chewed and was on the bottom of one of the containers but the food still tasted great

20 mins waiting past confirmed collection time.

Took nearly 2 hours to arrive, when it did, not all the order was correct and what we had was disappointing. Prawn toast was soggy!

Food not the best at all. Curry not as expected. Chow mein burnt. Best part was prawn crackers. Only ate as in a hotel and don’t know area to source food.

Crispy duck wasn’t very crispy which was a shame. Tasted nice though

the best tasting Chinese food I've had in a long time. wonderful 👍

Was fairly decent. Portions on the smaller side for cost. Quick delivery

It was very tasty. This is real Chinese food. Some reviewers say it's greasy, but that's because Chinese food uses a lot of oil. The price is high because of the high cost of living.

Not as hot as we would of liked

This is an amazing restaurant and ever since a while ago the food has been absolutely spectacular and improved a lot. I would definitely recommend this since it is the exact same taste as the ones you would taste in China or Malaysia

Super early delivery and excellent food

Worst takeaway Chinese we have ever had, so surprised after really enjoying eating in the restaurant!!! Beef Curry with mushy potato to bulk it out so not much beef considering it was meant to be a large size. Noodles were absolutely drenched in soy sauce so very salty and not nice, sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style lovely but tiny portion and char sui pork tasted peculiar.

service was fantastic and staff were lovely and polite. tables were clean. shame it was more expensive to dine in than it was to take away. food on the whole was nice, but nothing to rave about. complementary prawn crackers were a touch!

Great quality and tasty food. Delivery was quick and hot

Really delicious meal. The meat was very tender and fell off the bone.

The food was inedible- I ended up throwing it away and went hungry.

Poor quality food, crinkle oven chips for the salt and pepper chips. Wet lemon chicken. Wouldn’t eat from here again. Expensive for the quality.

Spent £80, over to hours late, on the app disabled it was delivered and it wasn’t! Called the restaurant and they could help apparently as it’s with the driver, no apologies and no food!!!

Possibly the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had. Delivery was very slow although that’s maybe underestimates me for NYE. However the food was really poor - the whole meal was cold, noodles were slimey, the way the rice had been presented was just odd, and the sweet and sour sauce looked like nuclear waste. Won’t ever be going here again.

Sweet and sour is watery vinegar, and egg fried rice either overcooked or not fresh. Not what I expected from the relatively high prices they charge

Food was lovely, enjoyed our experience

They didn't send all items ordered. Missing Sweet and Sour Chicken ball's. The "Large" portions were small. Order was late. Disappointing considering how expensive it is.

Nice food, all cooked properly, although could have done with more chicken in both dishes

Best Chinese I’ve had in a long time . Bit of a wait but definitely worth it

Always reliable and good quality

Chips were soggy and wet prawn crackers tasted stale and I’m still owed just over £30 from 14th November as the restaurant cancelled my order

wonderful food, excellent quality ingredients. ordered around 5.30pm food was very fresh and generous amounts of meat and fresh vegetables. Best Chinese I have had for years, would definitely recommend and order from again. 5 stars all the way !

The driver found my place but never rang my doorbell and blamed me for being late, where do you find people like this?

Veggie options were revolting. Greasy. Cold.

We have been to this restaurant many times and never had a bad meal. We were due to go with some friends but on reading the reviews they did not want to go. I checked the reviews and couldn't believe that it had gone down hill. We decided that we needed to go again to see for ourselves and were very pleased to see that the food was as good as it had always been. The manageress was very helpful and helped us with our choices when we couldn't decide. The friends we went with this time said that the food was even better than the last time we went so will definitely be going again.

Hot and delicious arrived early and no items missing thanks for the freebie prawn crackers. Sweet and sour sauce with chicken balls could be more as a little for large portion size

The food was lovely apart from the cold chips..

Came for my uncles birthday! Restaurant was freezing! Food was very small portions and extremely expensive. They almost force you to order off the buffet menu and warn you that if caught sharing or tasting off someone’s buffet plate will be charged full £24 pp buffet price! They kept walking by watching smh! First & last time going. Left with a big bill and still hungry. Very disappointing.

Food was good quality, but late delivery and item missing from order. Refunded for missing item by Just Eat.

The best Chinese in Cheltenham!!! Their Singapore rice is incredible!

Delicious food, as always. Reliable, great value for money. Thank you.

Very nice food, always enjoyed having them

had a call at 7pm to say it's late food arrived dried out and cold. Absolutely abysmal. Wasted alot of money. Never order again

Tasty and hot but 40 mins to 50 mins late

Greasy you sin sauce not nice duck really fatty and pancakes all stuck together Will not be using them again

Decor a bit dated, but that kinda of made it old school, food amazing, great service and good value 👌 5☆ for me

disappointed the food was late, but overall is was still warm and enjoyable

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!

excellent food as always ! super fast deliverey last night.

It was delicious! All fresh and hot, nothing rubbery or cold.

Great, tasty food that even our young children enjoy. Thank you!

It’s been a long time since we last ordered from here, so we decided to give it another go. Delivery was fast but food was not the best. Will not be trying again.

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!!

easy to order and delivered with professional customer service.

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.

Friendly delivery driver, amazing food!

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.

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

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

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.

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:)

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.

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.

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.
