Two take away Duck and Plum sauce meals contained no plum sauce therefore meat was dry and tasteless. Payment was by cash only which required a 500 yard walk to the nearest cash machine and back in order to pay for two tasteless meals.

Had a fab takeaway last night. Excellent value for money. We ordered early and the order was ready when we collected. We have been regulars for many years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

It's disgusting. I've never eaten such an unpleasant food before And last week they closed for the day because the chefs inside didn't have a legal residency or chef's license in the UK. I don't know how the things cooked by people who don't know where they come from are legally sold

This is a takeaway only restaurant but a delivery service is available, food is always of a good quality always hot. Service is polite and efficient, have using them for over 30 years family owned and run. 2 hints phone in your order, take a hot box for collection.

We ordered a delivery and were told it would be approximately 90 minutes. Fair enough on a Saturday evening. After two hours I called to see if the food was on the way: it was ready to go, would be on the way any minute. Another hour went before the food arrived cold and an incomplete order. Not good when you have a hungry child (and parents!) who has to stay up past bedtime for such disappointing food.

We use this takeaway occasionally. Our last visit was like polar opposites. We went in and ordered the food and was told 15/20 minutes wait which was no problem. There were no big queues but clearly a lot of telephone orders being phoned in whilst we ordered ours in store. We returned after 20minutes and then we’re made to wait another 25minutes on top so a 45mins wait in total as opposed to being told 15/20mins. Frankly this is unacceptable today how can they get it so wrong and annoy paying customers and just expect them to shut up and take it? On the flip side the food was really very good and no complaints at all in that area. Be warned and be prepared to wait twice as long as they tell you.

I’ve never experience such terrible customer service! We ordered a meal for delivery and a third of the order was missing, after phoning them to ask if they could bring it, we were told the delivery driver wanted to go home and so we would get a discount on our next delivery. The next time we ordered, after placing a £110 order we were told they no longer deliver as we were 5.1 miles away (apparently according them the 8 minute journey took 35 minutes each way!). When I reminded her of the missing food in our last order (politely may I add), despite the fact she could recall everything that was missing, she proceeded to tell me I was a liar, therefore was not prepared to offer any discount for the food we had paid for and not received or even deliver to us again. After convincing them to deliver the order (with a ridiculous charge!) she shouted down the phone at me “we are never delivering again!”. The food was fine, but I just cannot understand how they can have any customers left when they speak to them like that. I would absolutely advise to take your business elsewhere!

Please G.P, don't tell customers it's 30 minutes, then let them wait outside for a further 45 minutes freezing cold then offer no apology or at least some free crackers or something. Semi regular customer for a ~5 years but feel very disappointed that not even a verbal apology was given.

Wouldn’t know if the food is any good as it never arrived. Placed an order just after opening at 5pm to be told we would have it within the hour. Gave very detailed directions. The hour came and went. Called after an hour and a half to be told the driver had just left. At two hours we gave up. He eventually called from the wrong house on the wrong street so we sent it back. Bit of a shambles really. Won’t bother trying them again.

First time trying this takeaway having recently moved to the area, certainly not blown away by the food, didn’t even get any complimentary prawn crackers for spending a fair bit of £ that most takeaways I’ve ever been to do! The food was ok, the rice I found extremely salty - Chinese food is quite salty anyway! Don’t think I’ll be back in a rush!

Having been a regular user of the China Chef (in Horsell, Surrey) I found this takeaway rather disappointing. All the set meals include curries, which do not go well with the other traditional Chinese dishes. If I did decide to go back I would not select the set meal options. However, given the cost I’m not sure I will go back there.

Good quality freshly cooked Chinese food. The usual dishes to choose from, and several set menus too which are better value. Portions are quite large so don't over order. You can order by phone and then go and collect as no delivery. Note, this place still only takes cash, no cards, which is annoying, but there are cashpoints within walking distance in Storrington.

I have previously reviewed the Golden Panda and said it was my ‘go to’ Chinese takeaway. Not anymore. A couple of times the staff have been rude telling me I’m late and another time sharply saying I can’t have ordered as they couldn’t find an order in my name, only to find it 5 minutes later. Tonight I pre-ordered and paid a couple of hours in advance and agreed a collection time. Turned up and not ready. Not only wasn’t it ready, they can’t even have started cooking it as I had a 25 minute wait. That is poor customer service. Got it home to find the prawn crackers I’d paid for were missing. Couldn’t be bothered to go back and wait another 25minutes. Unfortunately for the Golden Panda I live 15 minutes away and luckily for me there is a good Chinese takeaway 15 minutes in the opposite direction and I’ll be going there from now on.

I ordered a whole Crispy Duck for family of 8 on Good Friday. Take AwayWhat I found when at home was a box of tepid, grey minced duck. It was NOT what I was expecting and nor was it particularly tasty.On returning to complain two days after I was told that this IS what they sell, supplied by their wholesaler and warmed up, as Crispy Duck and that the delicious duck shredded in front of you -that most of us know and love- is only restaurant food. No apology and no refund. I had suggested that £20 refund on a £45.80 spend would be a fair gesture. Have taken the matter to Trading Standards as it is Golden Panda fails under the Goods Description.

Been visiting the Golden Panda since we moved to the area in 1993. Only visited a few times a year when our family finances allowed a takeaway, but always enjoyed really reliable good food. Moved out of the village 10 years ago to Henfield and have been very disappointed with the local offering which just serves everything in varying shades of tasteless brown. So, now the only time we eat a Chinese takeaway is when we are passing though Storrington in the evening and can pick up a meal from the Golden Panda. Now that must be a good recommendation!

Have used this takeaway for many many tears but today it seems new people are involved - the girl on till didn't have a clue but that was not the problem. I ordered barbecue spare ribs, sweet and sour chicken balls, egg fried rice and chicken in 4 seasonal vegetables and I must say it was the worst take away that I have ever had from this place - absolutely awful. Sorry to say that I won't be going back anytime soon which is a shame as I normally use this place 3 to 4 time a month.

I ordered a chinese from here on New Years Eve. Did not surprise me that there was a 45 minute wait.Came to collect chinese after the 45 minutes at 8.30pm. Did not receive the chinese until 9.20pm!!!!! They took too many orders than they could handle.The food was amazing as normal hence the 5 star rating. The biggest problem was not the 50 minute surprise wait, the biggest problem was that they had that awful show on the TV 'Take me out' this was so unbearable and left unable to change the channel. This was extremely more annoying that the extra wait.

Certainly the best Chinese take away for miles around. I always pop into here around opening time on a Sunday after a few beers in the village and the service is fast and efficient and the staff are a pleasure to deal with. I've seen that some comments rate the place as expensive but I have to disagree purely based on the decent sized portions that you get. You can try anything from the menu and won't be disappointed. Happy eating peoples it's well worth a try.

I have only been here once. And I can only find three words to discribe what I had. Dis Cus Ting. I ordered special chow mein and was presented with a watery salty noodle slop with two prawns and a slice of beef in. Have drunk two pints of water since eating. (Which was not very much of it)This chow mein was the worse thing I have ever had the misfortune of putting into mouth and relieving me from 6 of my hard earned pounds. Ovoid this place at all cost. The golden willow is just down the road and is first class.
