Golden Orange Snack in Leicester

I've been here on multiple occasions and it never seems to disappoint. Always a great pleasure eating from this little local Chinese place. It's located well in the city centre near to the market. They have a range of options - all clearly pictured with descriptions on the wall. They serve halal meat/chicken. The food is delicious! They cater to your "spice" needs depending on how you'd like it. The hand pulled noodles are great and the meat is perfect. The broth is tasty also! Delicious food and great staff - I'd always pay a visit

The service is great here. The broth was slightly salty, but except for that the dish was perfect! Such a gem

Leicester’s favorite Chinese food. If I don’t eat it for a day, I feel like bugs are crawling on my body. Boss, I want it, I want it, I want it.

Really good authentic food. Nice portion sizes, always leave here full. Plan on trying the whole menu. Owner doesn't speak much English but is really friendly.

Nice Chinese place, not many veg options but the food was amazing. I tried hand fried noodles with veggies and veg dumplings really good

This is hands down my favourite Chinese restaurant in Leicester. The food is lovely whether eaten in or delivered. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. The dishes feel authentic to me and are different from the usual takeaway offerings. They keep me wanting more. The rice vermicelli with beef and pickles is my favourite- the savoury, spicy, numbing and sour combination of flavours is truly addictive. Highly recommended!

This is my go to place whenever I want to have a nice warm meal ! I go there at least 2 times a months . The staff are super friendly and respectful and are always soo attentive to what we need . The food is amazing quality and very clean and well presented! They allow you to bring your own drinks which is sooooo lovely as I struggle to have any of the drinks they sell because I am very picky . They are more than happy to pack left over food for take away and the food is always prepared quickly ! We even get some sweets at the end of the meal ! 100% recommend! Their clay pot rice with beef is beautiful and their noodles and chicken absolutely amazing ! And the dumplings are warm and sooo delicious!

I've become fond of this place. Very good food is served in a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended

Really authentic homemade Chinese food from different parts of China

Amazing food, best noodle broth I have ever tasted. Staff are brilliant.

Absolutely love this place, I come here regularly with my partner. My favourite is the XO noodles (not here in the picture but delicious dry noodles if you won’t want the soup). Also highly recommend the spicy fried chicken and the crispy seaweed rolls filled with vermicelli noodles. Always delicious food and the loveliest woman in the reception. Love it here so underrated!

Friendly, freshly prepared, super tasty and filling. Looking forward to sampling every dish. Halal too 👌🏻

Holy smokes…very good ramen here! £8.90 for a big bowl of tasty beef & veg ramen. Good broth. Good noodles. If ramen is your thing stop reading and go!

What a great find! The food is amazing for such an incredibly cheap price. Service a but slow but polite and friendly. I highly recommend! I myself will go back often to try all that they offer. The fried chicken is super yummy! Cash payment only.

A cute little shop tucked in the corner of Haymarket. Very authentic dishes. I definitely recommend the lamb skewers, meat is very tender. The chicken and mushroom rice bowl is also a must try.

A very good chinese noodle restaurant in Leicester!👍🏻 The price is reasonable and eveytime the taste of those food will not let you down!

Really comfy and quaint vibe. The food is all delicious, service is great and the staff are all so sweet and polite.

recommend! Good and cheap Chinese food in Leicester! The dishes are diverse and taste very good. It’s just that the proprietress is a bit Buddhist and has been waiting for you to reopen for almost half a year.

Easy to choose numbered large menu on the wall. Cooking time about 10/15 minutes. No toilet or basin unfortunately. Food quite tasty.

Is this the best noodles 🍜 I’ve had? Noodle was cooked beautifully together with the sauce & ingredients. It’s a hidden gem of Leicester, I think 💭

Cosy authentic Chinese restaurant, the best in Leicester. The food is delicious and the customer service incredible, they're so kind ! Definitely recommend, you won't be disappointed !

Great food, nice service small restaurant so might need 2 take out but food is always fantastic. It is very worth visiting if near the station.

Lovely family-owned business, friendly and attentive service, and delicious food!

I love this place, proper food for good prices. Can get busy on weekends but I tend to get takeout after-work. I've been trying to get friends and family to try the place out as I've been raving about how good it is to them. (It will happen the place has either been busy for the group of us or it was the Thursday when they are shut)

Ordered and paid for my food, even waited for 40mins before asking about my order before the waitress asks me to change my order because apparently its sold out? Like you could have told me that earlier instead of making me wait so long for nothing! Never coming back.

One the best Authentic Chinese Hand made Noddle please I have found in Leicester, Very friendly attentive staff members and great tasting food with lots of options and all Halal

Some of the best food I have ever had. Me and my wife go multiple times every month. We are never disappointed by the food and it is all authentic and home made!! Also the staff are lovely and so kind to us each time.

Cash only, however, a very friendly staff and food is tasty!

Absolutely gorgeous noodle bar, will definitely be back again soon.

Amazing food, kind service, clean and peaceful atmosphere. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept card payment.

Delicious and authentic food, they make their own noodles ! Good portions for the price, highly recommend this place.

We fell in love with handmade noodles and soup! Staff is lovely and kind. Place is quite and cozy, highly recommended!

Went for the first time here really good quality food and fair prices absolutely loved the noodle dish I got and staff are very helpful and friendly

The noddle is really hand made and taste just about perfect. I always amazed by their hand made noddle. There are so many ingredients in dishes as well. Again,my favourite shop.

I love this shop as the noddle is handmade and flavour is authentic Chinese cuisine. This is a must eat shop. If I go to town, this is my only lunch choose. The eating environment is very good and clean. I never spot any dirt. I really love their food, a must go place.

Yummy Tomatoe and beef rice noodles ✔️🍜

Delicious food 🍜 Very helpful staff. Highly recommended 😉👍

bad service behavior a terrible eating experience

Foods brill once again from gmas kitchen and everyone is friendly

点了孜然羊肉拌面，出乎意料的好吃！面很筋道，味道浓郁。正宗的北方味道！ P.S 只收现金

The dumplings here are absolutely amazing. Really recommend it

Nice simple food venue. Clean and tidy, only deal in cash.

Gray food definitely a hidden gem. Everything homemade

Excellent meal and lovely staff! Real hidden gem! If you want a true authentic experience then you won't find anywhere better in Leicester

Excellent meal and lovely staff! Real hidden gem!

Authentic Chinese restaurant offering the type of fayre found in China and not the usual food items British people have come to expect.

Terrible. Asked for meat dish but given a genetically modified soy noodle

Very authentic Chinese food. Love the rice pancake things as well as the dumpings. Very good comfort food and pretty cheap. Chinese friends visit often for their fix.

The most authentic beef noodles I have ever had. The broth is piping hot and has incredible flavour. The beef is so tender and is usually quite lean and I love the homemade noodles. I've only ever had this dish there because it is so good. Portion size is huge too. The lady who always serves us is lovely, service is quick. Only accept cash and there is a cash point conveniently around the corner.

So taste wise good authentic Chinese food but there was hardly any meat in our hand pulled noodles with beef and about two thin strips of meat in our bao steamed bun which I found really upsetting especially for that price we paid. My friend did mention, she didn't feel comfortable as customer service was kinda off and as she understood Mandarin and Cantonese some of the Chinese customers did say some awful things to us which I understand is not the restaurants fault but she will not be visiting this place anytime soon especially after the staff did not say anything against that. Overall I gave it a three for the food as I have tasted better for the price but I believe with better service and a little more effort they can become a 5 star for sure. Thank you. =)

Handmade Steamed chicken dumplings my favourite... Very healthy indeed

Delicious food. Ive had the bao steamed bun, pot sticker dumplings and cumin beef noodles. All excellent.

Great food and brilliant service!

What a great find! This small cafe next to Leicester market serves very authentic, home cooked Chinese food. Most of the customers are Chinese, which has the be a good sign. I ordered the steamed dumplings which were freshly made and absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to go back. Recommended.

Amazing food, absolutely loved it. Best food I’ve had in a while and so filling. I’ve walked by so many times and not noticed it that much. Today I tried it to have something new and was pleasantly surprised on how good and filling it was.

I love the Bao and have had them in China, Australia and in the UK These tasted stale. Ordered 102 which was a noodle hot pot with chicken and received it with Tofu Didn't complain as had waited a while for the food. It is all freshly cooked. Also had the prawn dumplings they were good but for 4 I thought £5.20 was expensive as it isn't a restaurant just a cafe. Overall a bit disappointed

Hidden gem, ask for the sesame balls they are so tasty!

Best Chinese food in Leicester. Great hand made noodles and snacks taste exactly like what you can have in China. Price is good. This is my favorite noodles bar in Leicester.

We are vegetarians and we were truly satisfied and contented with the variety of vegetarian dumplings, sesame noodles. Very good service and friendly owner. Definetely a must visit..located right at the entrance of leicester market.

Super nice Chinese noodle bar! Delicious duck and various noodles, worth to try!

Great noodles, all made fresh, multiple dumpling flavours cooked steamed or fried. Great inexpensive spot in Leicester

This place is fab, a little oasis next to the market. We had bowls of noodles, dumplings and bao - all fantastic. I've been daydreaming about the noodles since and can't wait to go back for more.

Amazing little place. Doesn't look like much from the outside. Very clean and modern inside. Good selection of noodles, dumplings and bao's. All are made fresh. Very popular with Chinese students. I have been in twice in a week and will be going back to taste the whole menu. My family opened up the 2nd Chinese takeaway in the city in the 60's so I know what's good.

Amazing food. Really nice dumplings. There is this one dish with one really very looong nooodle, forgot the name but not the taste, like nothing I had before. Seems to be visited mostly by Chinese, which I took as a good sign. Very friendly service.

This is a truly authentic northern Chinese cuisine, all the food including the noodles, duck, dumpling are all home-made and done in store. Unlike many student oriented Chinese places that have sprung up all over Leicester, Golden Orange is truly unique, it is hearty and very healthy - not at all greasy. I have been there now almost once a week since it opens. My favourite are Cumin Beef handpull noodles, lamb dumplings, cold salad (Liang pi) and lamb noodle soup.

Great tasting and freshly made. The handmade noodles are definitely worth trying!

This is a place not to miss. A little unpreposessing on the outside - it looks like s Chinese takeaway, but the food is very different. Handmade noodles with a variety of different meats and sauces. Steamed buns with delicious filings. Dumplings. Everything is cooked fresh and delivered to your table piping hot. We were stuck in Leicester for several days and we ate here twice a day for several days. We were never disappointed. This place is very new, but deserves to be discovered.

Delicious food well made and fresh. Good value for money. Friendly service. Portions were on the large side. My wife had seafood noodles and I had Singapore noodles. Both excellent. Very different from standard UK Asian noodles, but all the better for that. Jasmine tea also excellent. Will go back for sure.

Badly made food and overpriced.
