Our family used to get Chinese takeaway from here back in the late 90s. Think it may have changed hands a few times since, but glad to see it back to how I remember. I ordered the special fried rice, sweet and sour chicken balls and BBQ spare ribs. Everything arrived early, hot and was absolutely amazing. Will definitely make this my go-to Chinese takeaway in the future 😋

We have used. This, along with a couple of others as they are local golden star provides good quality, Chinese food with a varied Menus One of the highlights has to be the giant pancake rolls. We Probably have a Chinese meal from here about once every 6 weeks. And it is consistently good with reasonably fast service and always arrives Hot. Staff are pleasant and there is plenty of choice. I would happily recommend.

We always order from here as its the best Chinese food we've had. We ordered tonight but 1 item wasn't in the order. I rang and the lady I spoke to was great! We had our missed item delivered a short time later, it was worth the wait, the food was delicious and golden star deserves a 5 * thank you very much 😊

Well this used to be the best Chinese takeaway in Bedford, not now changed their chef food wasn’t cooked as well. Also they missed out an item of our meal which I had to ring back about and then when we got it we already eaten our dinner. I will be thinking twice about going back there, which is a shame. I don’t been using this takeaway for nearly 30 years.

Been eating here for years.... recipes have always been good!... the chefs not so good! All of our rice was crunchy with uncooked grains really disappointing since it is a bit part of our meal... 5.70 for crunchy chicken fried rice fed it to the dog... never ever had uncooked rice like that anywhere but here! Poor is an understatement... ribs are pathetic for the money.... prices always vary when questioned they say they hadn't updated their menu.... customer service is not high on their priorities either.... not the only one to feel like this read all reviews....time to try somewhere new after 20 years!

If you'd asked me prior to last night what I thought were the best Chinese takeaway's in Bedford, the Golden Star would have been on that list. I've lived in the area most of my life and I have ordered from there many times. Last night, however, was awful. Never have I had a bad meal from there before. The pork balls were chewy. The food was bland. The sweet and sour chicken is the worst sweet and sour of any kind that I have ever eaten, and repeated on me for the rest of the night. The beef was dry, tough and tasteless. But, the meal did come with a free set of resistance bands! No.. Seriously! It came with a free set of exercise resistance bands! I thought maybe they'd been put in there by mistake, but they were inside a ziplock bag, which was inside a small takeaway style carrier bag, and neatly packed in with the rest of the food. If this is the state of their food at the moment, you can do better. Much, much better!

Impressive Chinese Takeaways shop not only with a 5-star rating for food hygiene but also the outstanding food quality and flavour. I ordered their food as just happened to pass by after public business on Friday. It is worth mentioning their unique, exclusive very elaborate primarily in-house developed fusion with seasoning ingredients curry. Succulent, tasty, well fried, freshly cooked sweet and sour Tofu, the secret recipe of salt and pepper Tofu which is great for “eat for fun” especially paired with beers. YUMMY😋! Each dish is seasoned with its own spices and ingredients which come out smelling savoury and appetizing that made the greatest impression on me and the flavours have remarkable depth. The dishes were executed perfectly feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. As the shop is running busy on Friday night, it has taken a while to get to my mouth, but I've found the best Chinese takeaway in the planet.

Have been a customer for many many years including with new management. Every time I phone the prices vary even though I order exactly the same thing. When questioned this and the price I paid before lockdown and if the prices had gone up was told no but given no explanation just that the manager said so. When I asked to speak to him was told he is too busy!! Such a shame that loyalty is no longer worth anything but good luck to them if they are too busy after reopening following lockdown to care but just not with my business as simple principles in my book make a good business last!

Great!Food was delivered well under an hour, which was quicker than I expected!All food was hot and fresh and tasted great. They gave some free mini spring rolls which we enjoyed. My whole family seemed to really enjoy the food, so I felt obliged to give them a call afterwards to thank them, which isn't something I would normally do lol Highly recommended! Thank you Golden Star!

Have been using this place for many years and has generally been very good. Had a takeaway a month ago and it was awful. Phone up and complained and the meal was collected and a refund given. However, we tried to give them another chance as we thought it was a one off occurance and tried to place an order but was met with a very rude and unsympathetic lady who basically accused us of lying and said that if the food was again substandard we would not get another refund. We immediately cancelled the order and will never use this place again. NO COMPROMISE - NO ORDER!!!

At 6.45 I rung Tigerlily and was told it never said 6.35 It was 7.10 and that I must have missed the notification on the app... there was NO notification on the app! I said OK happy for wait another 25 minutes. At 7.20pm, I rung again and was told the order is leaving now and on its way. At 7.45pm, 1 hour and 45 minutes after we placed the order, our order turned up, cold and horrible. Will NOT be ordering from here ever again.
