Golden Star in The Vale of Glamorgan

As a regular customer, never had a problem, and knew with the young lad, serving, there wouldn't be a problem. Sadly on Friday 29.11.24, was completely different with service. Older lady served. We waited approx 45 min for plain chowmein, salt and pepper chips, and curry. We accept it was busy, and pressure for staff to prep and cook food safely. But to see customers arrive after us paying/placing large orders, after us, and leaving with their food before us, was unfair. The end result at almost 7.50pm we finally got our takeaway, after a woman came in with son, asking for chips, poppadom, curry and saveloy, and served immediately with their food. After they left, we were only ones there. Still waiting. I felt light headed and physically sick, due to being so hungry and thirsty. If lady serving again. I will not be getting a takeaway again from golden star.

Went in for first time for a takeaway. Service was cold and abrupt. My order was ready in 10 minutes. Only live 10 minute drive away. Got home it was cold. Nothing had warmth at all. The house special rice was wet and stodgy. The house curry was worse I’ve ever had, bland and watery. Meat was awful. I will never eat from there again

Always good service for both the young lad and the young lady that serve, very reasonable price I had large egg rice and hongkong sweet and sour chicken! Was cooked to my liking, ( like always ) Now you can even order your food on their app and it’s ready when u get there !

Not the best. Only go there if im starving. Food is ok but portions are tiny for the price you pay and they don’t take card in this day and age. Would without a doubt choose the one down the road by fontygary over this anyday.

horrible experience in this shop

Authentic takeaway, good selection of foods, prompt service and friendly staff.

Friendly staff and reasonably quick service, bland and spiceless singapore chow mein, watery sauce and chewy "crispy" beef, excessive amount of onions in both dishes.

Best chips I've ever had and nothing can beat it. Also kind and friendly staff members. great experience

Fair food Good price. Not very communicative staff.

Not a good experience! Undercooked chips and very greasy.

Very poor experience. Very bad tang on chips, sweet and sour overpriced and both gave me a bad belly. Never again. Need to change fat more often and lower their prices. Rip off

Beautiful food and quick service 👌

Lovely Chinese, salt and pepper chips was too salty

The most tastless Chinese food I have ever tasted paid 46 pounds for meal for 4 everyone agreed it was tastless gave mine to the dog

My favourite Chinese food is Hong Kong sweet & sour chicken and egg rice, which I have had quite a few times from Rhoose and always good x Not expensive, and staff alway helpful & polite. Thank you

Could not be bothered to cook 2 fish cakes 15 minutes before closing very lazy

Not a great experience - chips were raw, barely cooked & the duck was pure fat.

First time here. Only hadfish , chips and gravy. All cooked fresh while I waited....in all fairness it was awesome. Will have a Chinese takeaway from there next.

Great local Chinese takeaway l.

It depends on the day of the week and who serves you with how your food come out it is still good food but the size and service changes per member of staff

Awful food was disgusting and staff are rude.

Excellent service and great takeaway. Cash only no card payment service

Really nice Chinese food at this takeaway, never had any issues with this place and the chips are always fresh.

Small portions salt and chilli chicken meat was tough and special fried rice meat was disguised with bland barbecue sauce overall disappointed wouldn't use again

Food is very good and quick service

Busy !! Generous portions of fish & chips, no wonder the queue went out the door.

Clean ,efficient with plastic guards between you and those serving. Cash only is accepted, no cards. I like the Singapore noodles- spicy

Great chips, and fish is fantastic.

Excellent food and great service

Woman was rude and messed up the order

Always polite and always good food..would be five stars but special fried rice could be better 😋

Ok food can be really good a bit hit and miss

Read some of these reviews and I’m scratching my head. I use this place at least once a month. Never had a bad meal. Always freshly cooked, always hot, always get the order right. Always tasty. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

How can you mess up cooking chips??? Seriously like... Soggy, greasy undercooked chips... Over priced food generally and usually not cooked fully even the meats can be hit or miss. I would advise avoiding this place tbh. Its a shame, with its prime location and such, it could be amazing.

Decent enough Chinese takeaway. Food and prices are ok.

I asked for vegetables and chicken with no sauce as on keto...what they prepared for me was really good. The others in our group enjoyed their food too 😋

Nice people who ran the shop. We had great service everything was there that we wanted. The chips could of done with a bit more flavour I guess, I don't know some chips they're like mouth watering and some that are ok. I dont know how they do it but it does make a difference.

It's hit and miss depending on when you order or what you order, it is like any other takeaway in that regard. I like the tray meals personally. Support local and take a chance. Only take cash payment hence the 3 star review as would be easier if able to pay with card. 😊

The chicken balls to die for. Really good food here

Chinese lady serving needs to learn that please and thank you goes a long way, and she should smile now and again !

Good food and not too expensive

Food normally very nice, chips good and Chinese food too. The downfall is the fact during lockdown the system is terrible and I feel very conscious about space, people and coronavirus. No system in place whatsoever. Handling money, food and bags and no changing of gloves/ hand washing etc. Hence why is a 3 star.

Great Chinese food and good prices. Very quick service, in and out in only a few minutes. Only take cash and don't deliver but not a big issue, worth the trip.

Amazing and friendly staff food fast serving and keeps hot for longer so gives u time to get home and really enjoy ur meal

Fantastic fish, cooked to order. Just phone and order and it's ready when you arrive.

Nice food with decent service, good portions and relevantly cheap

Always love getting fish and chips here, I find it easier to pop in than call due to how busy they can get

Not very good at all!!! Bland and tasteless slop served here daily folks

Its ok about a 3.7, chinese is ok. Chicken balls etc good. Also as a chippy its workable and works for either.

Lovely fish and chips in addition to full menu of takeaway Chinese food. On street parking. Cash only. Seating for customers waiting.

First time having food here, and literally cannot fault it. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Not good food at all food poisoning very serious for 3 days

The wait times at this take away are shocking. Half hour wait for chips and curry sauce tonight. The both young women who work there at separate times I’ve been there, are doing their job under a lot of pressure with no help from the other people there. Tonight, she was trying to serve the walk ins as well as trying to give out the telephone ordered food which was sitting waiting to be given out. She also was juggling taking payments for the orders with no help even when she asked the young bloke who was ‘busy’ stirring the chips. While you wait for your food, you also.run the risk of your chosen item being sold to someone else who comes in after you as well as your order being wrong when you get it home. This is not a criticism of the 2 ladies who work there. The chips are average and a little dry and curry sauce is essential to make them palatable. The sausage in batter are cooked sausages covered in batter. The saveloys are ‘warmed up’ in water in the top warmer which is not an effective or safe way to reheat cooked products. Mine was stone cold last week. I appreciate how busy it is but there’s no organisation and don’t be fooled into thinking if you just order a bag of chips and be gone-no, they take your money and sit you down to wait the same time as though you had ordered a full Chinese meal for 4! If they had more food ready to serve such as pies, pasties, sausages etc they could clear the walk ins as everyone understands they have to wait for Chinese food if it hasn’t been ordered prior to collection. And- when it’s busy, help the staff out! Shame Fontygary Chippy isn’t open more often.

Plenty of food at a good price, nice & quick service

A fantastic meal definitely going back again

Chips were reheated and not good. Imagine Chinese chips reheated. Curry sauce had a half inch of grease on the top. Savloy was good (hard to mess up a savloy). Overall not good.

Friendly staff .food is always fresh and delicious .love their chicken ball

Good food and all ways hot pleasant staff

Great chinese food at an affordable price.

Nice place to be honest. Friendly staff. Menu hit and miss, but more to do with my taste than quality, top notch

Very helpful and excellent service and food

Great chips, good Chinese, cash only is a bit if a pain though

Local Chinese takeaway, friendly staff, reasonable price

Rubbish chinese, gave me the runs.

This chip shop has deteriorated and the taste of the chips made me physically sick. It tasted like stale old fat, has done for a few weeks, I will not be buying from there again.

Our order was mixed-up initially, however the restaurant was very sincere about it and apologised, and gave us some free food as compensation. Tasty food and good service overall.
