Golden River in Herefordshire, County of

Great food, great price brilliant customer service. Brilliant to eat in or take away. Highly recommend

Ordered from here many times and it’s always perfect

Poor quality food. Tiny prawns overcooked sweet and sour chicken. Clean restaurant, quick service. Won't be going back

Crispy duck is my favourite could eat more than once a week

It was the first time I saw such bad sweet saur chicken. and I couldn't eat it, so I returned it and they refunded my money. They even sell the wooden spoons they serve with the meal in exchange for money.

This evening, I had sweet and sour chicken as well as a large spring roll. To my disappointment it was overly vinegary, cold and the spring roll was greasy. I took the food back and received no apology, just a comment about how sweet and sour is vinegar based. I did receive a full refund so gave 2 stars but would have preferred edible food.

Average food, not the best but I couldnt quite complain. I found quiet atmosphere and feeling of awkwardness. I have to say the service was terrible and very disappointing - no welcoming and felt quite uncomfortable as if the bloke serving wanted to be at home instead. Will never be going again.

Excellent food. Good service. 👍

Really disappointed this evening. Worked late today, worked hard all weekend too and decided a chinese takeaway would be just the treat. I have decided to review this as it is the third time I have not been happy with my dinner from the Golden River, Benefit of the doubt has now expired. On two occasions iv "sucked it up buttercup" but tonight it was simply too awful to ignore. Although they offered to cook me another dish I'm afraid it was so bad it has put me off ordering from here again. To be fair they have given me a refund, altho in reality I'm left out of pocket having had to visit twice as naturally they insist on the food being returned and of course hungry. It's such a shame when you decide to spend your hard earned money in a local food establishment that they can't meet an acceptable and even beyond standard of cookery 😪

Works outing, very quick service for 19 of us.

Lovely food staff friendly and all ways clean and good to meat friends for meals out

Great food. Lovely place and seems semi-popular so you should get a seat

It was very good but we were the only ones in the restaurant .

Stale inedible Prawn crackers or should that be Prawn sponges On a Friday night! Never seen so much oil in a pancake roll! No veg in the Special Fried rice, couple of mushrooms. Will not be back.

Fast and friendly service. Lovely food.

Worst food i have ever eaten chicken was absolutely horrible i thought i was gonna be ill after eating it my stomach definately hated it. I would give it zero stars if i could. Pot noodles taste like heaven in comparison to this

Beef strips could have been thicker sliced, the sauce was a little thin. But all and all good meal

Never eaten in but have had takeaways from here for years. Very friendly staff and nice clean looking premises. Quick service. Food was nice enough, generous portions.

Nice clean place, but lacks atmosphere no back ground music like in dentist waiting room...starter was swimming in oil . Rest of meal didn't Eat much..

Quick service clean place to eat and reasonable prices.

The worst Chinese food ever!! Greasy, Duck fried rice full of skin And lumps of fat!! Presentation very poor!! Not edible at all!! Money wasted!!

First time I have been out for a meal in many years, great food, great customer service, very friendly, will definitely be going again

The best duck in orange sauce I had, I have to say. Also, the shrimp in curry sauce was amazing and the veggie chow mein as well. Very nice

Nice staff but probably the worst chinese food I have ever eaten. As previous reviewers have said, all the dishes seemed to come drenched in the same gravy and the food was on the table within 5 minutes from time of ordering which makes me think a microwave was heavily involved. Don't understand how anyone would come back to eat here and how anyone can give it a 5 star rating.

We went here on 5/8/2021 with a party of 10 for my daughters 13th. The food and the service was spot on for all of us. We couldn't of asked for a better night. Thank you.

Had a set menu for 4 and a few other dishes as it was our first time and we wanted to try out different dishes. Although it was very nice all dishes lacked seasonings and spice. There was no spice options or dips. Just one other comment satay was not a satay it was very sweet and again no seasoning or spice and they need to find a better way of cooking the squids. We could not eat any of it. If you improve all these things then you would be having 5 star.

Excellent service. Excellent foid

It's a hit or a miss because the quality of food. The toilets could do with a clean and

Not many Chinese open on a Tuesday so gave this a go, worst Chinese of my life. Dishes were practically meat in gravy sauce with some beansprouts and lacked any seasoning/flavour. Ribs tasted like fish.. never again.

Pleasant service. Mushrooms missing from my chicken and black bean sauce. Nevertheless not put off as food we had was hot and tasted lovely.

Nice food and calm place for family dinner. Good menu

Great food, really friendly staff

Excellent food and service very friendly thy couldnt do enough for us would highly recommend

Fantastic service, food was very hot and tasted delicious, great prices

Went for a meal last night 28th Dec 2019.

The best Chinese in Hereford reasonable price

Ok, firstly after waking up this morning and thinking, I’ll just check what people think of this place after last nights joke of a meal. I literally can’t believe that people rate this place highly and say it’s ‘authentic’ and ‘tasty’. It’s laughable. Now, I don’t usually care if I have a bad meal but seriously, It was so bad I have actually made an effort to log into my google account which I haven’t done for years and make this review which I would never do. The ‘food’..... started with butterfly prawns, basically battered slimy prawns which were drowned in oil. I pressed my fork down on the batter and oil was just pouring out of it, gross. Then sweet and sour chicken, Jesus, It was basically two gooey stringy chicken pieces the dreaded batter again which was so thick and pappy you struggled to find the chicken which I was trying to pick out the middle of it. The sauce was disgusting, watery and it was like it was bought in from big tubs, not freshly made and left an irony taste in your mouth. The chicken was weird, like opaque spongy stringy, fatty weird stuff. Had some rice on the side so ate that and quickly stood up, payed the woman behind the bar who stared at us all night and got the hell out of there. Funnily enough we were the only two of four people in the entire restaurant. Just horrendous.

Food ok but restaurant got no atmosphere especially when owners relatives Sat in corner of room reading papers with his coat on lol

Amazing food and Great service!

Delicious food and excellent service!

It's a quite place, I've not had to wait for a table before....the food sizes are massive..perfect if your hungry....food is nice, it comes out very quick which leads me to believe its warmed up....I could be wrong......but either way the food was tasty.....its quite expensive as well....

Friendly staff, been owned by the same couple for as long as I can remember. Pretty standard menu options, with a few extras such as five spice stews, and you can actually sit in there to eat, rather than just getting takeaways like most Chinese food in Hereford.

Nice food friendly staff free parking

Lovely food and staff we're really good xx

Was sick after and so was my mum, rice tasted perfumed too

Hi I love Chinese food and I hate to say but this is the worst Chinese meal I have EVER had! The crab and sweetcorn soup had no taste at all-the beef chop suey was inedible the meat so touch could not cut it let alone chew it -and the duck satay was 2 pieces of fatty something in a runny sauce-no charm or customer service!! Will never go back

Eat here a lot and never had a bad meal. I highly recommend the set b menu for 2. Hong Kong pork is amazing

Foods ok little on bland and salty side for me but clean and tidy and priced right

Avoid like the plague, worst food I've ever had. Undercooked and bland. Service is appalling. And they make you pay!

Ordered special chow mein and friend ordered special fried rice. When the food arrived it looked like the same food on rice and for him as the food which was atop my noodles.

Good place to to have a Chinese food sit in or takeaway

Such a nice Chinese best around town I would say

Excellent food. Been here many, many times over the years. Good lunchtime menu offer.

Standard Chinese menu, but really well cooked, and good service. Excellent value.

Very nice food and quick service

Best Chinese in Hereford only downfall is they don't deliver

Great for late night meals after a busy day/ night at work. The chicken fried rice is the best in Hereford, made with spring onions instead of horrible peas, thank you.

Hemos tenido muchos un fantástico sentarse comidas aquí. Es consciente de la China para mí. Decidimos coger un llevar la semana pasada. Dios mío que echaba todos los demás chinos fuera de la competencia. Las porciones eran enormes, era caliente y absolutamente deliciosa. Las verduras mezcladas en salsa de alubias negras era impresionante. No nos podemos quejar de nada increíble comida china. Volveré esta semana.

Very good food love the variety and friendly service

Service always good. Food top notch

Best Chinese in Hereford, very underrated, a must try if you haven't already! Shame on location as it clearly impacts the level of buisness as not many know it is there.

was an ok meal to be fair, could have been better but was only Chinese we could find open on a Tuesday night

Chow mien and curry dishes are the best in Hereford. Clean & tidy restaurant with quick service, well presented food and reasonable prices. The takeaway / sit down prices differ somewhat but its the same quality food as the sit down food. I have two Chinese takeaways closer to me but I still go that extra mile for reliability.

Best chippie in town! Take away through JustEat is convenient but can be haphazard in arrival time. Food always good though
