Golden River in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

amazing quality great delivery time thanks!

where was ti's food from? wasn't golden river, I'm very unhappy, curry has burnt my sons tongue, went to golden river as I've been a customer over 20 yrs, hoping it was just a mistake, the whole place is shut??? I'm no happy with the food nothing like the lively food I use to get from there, what have I eaten?? very angry

really nice food . we don't normally order Chinese as normally greasy . but it was perfect . thankyou

Really disappointed with food, it used to be my favourite Chinese, the rice was stodgy, the chicken was fatty, I received banana fritters instead of pineapple and the chips were dry. Really disappointed. Shame

The best Chinese you’ll find around Yeovil that will deliver!! Highly recommend

This says it's been delivered and I'm still waiting. So what's going on? Also, I can't judge food that hasn't arrived yet

Definitely under new management, was not as good as we’re used to. Hour and a quarter to deliver, Sweet and sour sauce was very vinegary and rice was not like the old golden rivers. Shame as it used to be our favourite. What happened to the old people?

food was cold and undercooked. rice was hard

Not using this place again. Had the wrong food delivered and when I tried to ring (6 times) they didn't answer. We ordered at 5.55pm and the food was delivered at 7.20pm and being a Monday we thought it wouldn't be that long . And when we got to the kitchen we had the wrong order. I then had to drive back to the shop to drop off the wrong food. The lady was outside waiting for it and ignored me to ring the delivery guy and say she had the food, and just stayed in the street waiting.... so who ever had that food it must of been cold by the time you got it .

Very disappointed we have used this takeaway for a long time and the food has changed tastes funny overcooked and funny texture for the rice. Also very disappointed that a refund was not provided will never use golden river again and also not sure about just eat either as we were unable to eat the food and no refund given

Wasn’t please with the food. Curry was way to spicy and over powered the other food on plate. Ribs didn’t have no meat was all fat and gristle, won’t be ordering from here again.

I haven’t received my food yet it says it’s been delivered I have made 2 attempts to call n no answer

Avoid this Chinese at all cost! worst service I've ever received! ordered food at 7:30 and received food at 1030pm, driver said delivered to wrong address first then did not ring us! then the food arrived at 1030pm it was disgusting! bland, overcooked food. never had such a bad takeaway! if the delivery driver still has a job in the morning something's wrong! Avoid Avoid Avoid!! waste of money

Golden River was my preferred Chinese take away, specifically for their ribs. Previous large meaty and tasty. What arrived this time were tiny and so greasy and so disappointing. My chow mien was also tasteless and greasy. Maybe time to try elsewhere. Very disappointed.

This used to be our favourite Chinese we had one last weekend and it was disgusting not 1 single prawn in pancake rolls and in curry the sauce was thick will not be having from here again

missing items and basically calling us liars till I allowed her in my house to prove her wrong!!

Our main didn’t turn up. We were left with just sides. I tried to call the restaurant and just got a message telling me I’d dialled an incorrect order. Have complained to just eat, waiting to find out if I’m going to get a refund or not which, I better had or I will take it further. Totally unacceptable.

food took 1hour 40 mins to arrive. Tried to call the restaurant but the phone had been left off the hook. When it came it was completely cold and inedible. No apology when questioned.

The food has changed since we last had it, I wouldn’t say for the better. I wonder if they are under new ownership.

Ordered from golden river lots over the years and never had a problem and always super friendly service

Food was not hot when arrived seemed it was all pre heated chicken balls tasted rubbery chips were warm egg fried rice was very dry . Disappointed wont be ordering again

Food is just horrible, I ordered seczunan beef and ribs and only thing I can say is don’t … undercooked, everything. It arrived 25min before is adverised, that’s only plus… price is ok too, but compering quality is not. First and last time customer. 👋🏻

Food spilt, bland sauce, bland chow mein and rice. Bland chips. Was supposed to order to the Golden River in Crewkerne but clicked Yeovil one by mistake. Dreadful. Never buying again

Ordered of Just Eat Amazing and Food was hot

Food was great, very tasty and not too heavy on the MSG. However we did feel the meal was pretty expensive for what we got and practically on par with a similar meal from the likes of Wagamama etc. Yes cost of living blah, blah, but this is a take-out at the end of the day and the cost is getting to the point where it’s just too expensive. We spent £39.30 including delivery and service charges (£3 total), and didn’t feel this was good value, portion size could’ve been better and was pretty poor if I’m honest. Portion size at Mandarin Chinese is better and for this order they always give free prawn crackers which Golden River did not. For info Mandarin is closed on a Wednesday hence we have this one a try.

Food was horrible, starchy hard chips, boiled flavourless rice which was supposed to be house special and the curry sauce was green and tasteless. Never again!!!!! I wouldn't give a star but otherwise it wouldn't let me post!!!!

Curry sauce is tasteless, chips have no flavour and no meat whatsoever in my house special chow mein. Won't be eating here even for free !!!!

By far the worst Chinese so called food I've ever had

Best Chinese food in Yeovil If not in Somerset. You have to try!

Just moved to the area and always worried about how the chineas will be and it was excelent will be using golden River again

Another one that doesn't answer the bloody phone.

Very tasty Chinese food. Friendly service. Cash only which is a shame, but other than that, brilliant

Not great at all! Pancake roll was dripping in grease, the filling had no flavours and the rest of the meal was very bland too. Even the rice had cardboard style flavours.

Nice food, delivery driver very friendly and helpful

Ordered tonight after work. Bbq sauce was the most bland and disgusting sauce I've ever had. Was more like a tasteless slime than a sauce. Pancake roll was dripping in grease had to scoop the filling out. Won't be ordering from here again I'm afraid.

Best Chinese takeaway I have tasted in Yeovil by far. Many thanks to you.

By far my favourite chinese takeaway, has been for years! Tried the salt and pepper ribs tonight and they were delicious. I currently live in Solihull and I always get excited when I come to visit for a takeaway from here! 😋

Excellent food delivered quickly I love the chicken in orange sauce good value

Dreadful meal, the worst we’ve had as a takeaway in Yeovil. The noodles (chicken chow mein) were very greasy and the curry sauce was just so bland it ruined the meal & was tasteless. The prawn curry also suffered the same with a tasteless curry sauce which lacked flavouring. However, the prawn crackers were good, which is why this review gets one star!

I haven't been yet, but it highly recommended will be ordering very doon

Best Chinese in Yeovil currently

Well tasty, good portions, recommend.

Best Chinese I have had in a long long time. At this moment in time I'd say the best in Yeovil.

Love Golden River. It's our 1st choice for Chinese in Yeovil. Reasonably priced, friendly staff and lovely food.

Excellent as always. Piping hot food delivered exactly on time and delicious! Thank you!

By far the best Chinese food in Yeovil. We order from Golden River for years and they have never disappointed. Highly recommended.

Great food great service highly recommend

only used as my normal take away was closed I would use them again

Worst Chinese ever, if this is the best Yeovil have to offer then I guess I need to avoid Chinese food altogether. We couldn't even finish the food, it tasted like it had been cooked in decade old oils and dirty cookwear. The chicken balls were so overcooked it was rubbery enough to bounce out the bin yet the batter was not cooked enough. None of the meals had flavour and have left a really horrible aftertaste like I just put diesel in the car and accidentally consumed some. I wont eat here again not even for free.

This is the best Chinese around at this far as I'm concerned at the moment I had chicken balls and pancake rolls I highly recommend it it taste really nice
