Golden Sun in Doncaster

Ordered food and went to pay with it and wouldn’t accept Scottish money

Las últimas 4 veces yo o miembros de la familia hemos hecho un pedido para la entrega ... ha sido el pedido equivocado, o tenemos la comida de otra persona o cosas que faltan o platos equivocados. Cuando he vuelto a llamar me han pedido en todas las ocasiones que vuelva y lo van a cambiar... ¡así no es como funciona! Ella seguía riéndose tratando de cortarme diciendo que tenemos que intercambiar... de ninguna manera estaba recibiendo una comida que alguien debiera abrir como tengo que intercambiar! La comida era impactante el servicio era impactante lo único que era sobresaliente era el pobre repartidor que seguía diciendo lo siento no de nuevo. Nunca vuelvas a pedir desde este lugar... ¡solía ser increíble ahora tan malo!

Food is fairly nice but they know how to charge

Was one of our favourite takeaways, but unfortunately of late the food has gone down hill drastically, prices have gone sky high which is completely un called for! So I'm afraid we wont be using this chinese again!!😔

1st time we have used Golden Sun, After waiting 2 hours for delivery, spring rolls soggy and very brown, chips cold, curry and rice cold, was told they are very busy and only one delivery driver on, (my thoughts if you are struggling be honest and say we can't take your order tonight).

We have ordered here, many months ago, and I don't recall having any issue... However tonight was extremely poor overall. Thai dish was 'good', and sadly it's the only thing that was. Beef and mushroom - beef really chewy and tough. The chicken vermicelli was literally boiled rice noodles, boiled (rubbery) chicken, peppers and beansprouts, no soy sauce, no flavour, nothing at all like expected. Salt and pepper chicken just bland crispy chicken, no spice or kick. Really disappointed, waste of £30. Sadly we won't be hurrying to order from here again.

We always used to say restaurant quality food from a takeaway, new owners now obviously, ordered beef and mushroom prawn toast onion rings spring rolls my rating is 1 star I couldn't tell you the cut of beef they use resebled the soke of a pit boot rubbery yuk disgusting frozen onion tings frozen spring rolls,and the prawn toast tastless rubber,the worst takeaway I've ever had such a shame as this place really was the best, will not be going back Disgusting

Food was really nice...I've been using this Chinese takeaway for 34yrs, the food was amazing...then it was sold...the food went completely down hill and I wouldn't of shouted from the rooftops about it....however this last year, the food has improved greatly and worth the 5 stars again 😁

Absolutely disgusting. This must have changed hands. We drove miles and was really looking forward to it. Will never go back. Avoid! No stars.

Ordered a meal this evening, the girl taking the order was great along with the delivery driver, I really enjoyed the food and got a good portion, cheers

was my 1st time getting food from here ,it will be my last, very poor quality of food and was very bland,ended up throwing food in the bin and ordering from somewhere else,

Had a lovely Singapore vegetarian chow mein. Great options to choose

Not happy with the quality of food. We've been using this place for over 20 years, it's usually pretty good. They need to buck their ideas up and try a bit harder. My wife is convinced that her chicken curry had some other meat in that wasn't actually chicken!! She thought it may be pork. My meal wasn't up to standard either.

Cantonese chicken and rice lovely. (Battered chicken by the way). Chips were a bit dry/chewy. They’ve been nicer in the past.

Brilliant as always, really nice food.

I used to regularly use this takeaway quite a few years ago and the quality was reasonable and as we were passing we decided to try it again. We had to wait half an hour for our meal and it was as cold night and the entrance was freezing. However, I hoped that it would be worth the wait but was very disappointed when we opened the meals at home. All the meat was pre-cooked and even the ginger tasted as if it was out of a jar. It was the worst meal I had ever had the misfortune to purchase from a takeaway. Most of it landed in the dustbin as it both looked and tasted revolting. We will not be going again.

Stopped doing food open to eat now such a shame I've been eating here for over 30 years but not any more.

The crispy chicken with Ma Po sauce is delicious

Sorry to the people who have had bad experiences but I moved to local in May 2021 ever since then, this Chinese has not missed a beat. I'm waiting for the time I can give it a bad review like the rest of them but simply, almost faultless. There maybe could be more BBQ taste to the rib sauce but I'm struggling to complain. You get what you pay for and it's very nice!

Have used this place for nearly 20 years, I have had many excellent takeaway meals and some average. But to order and be told cash only, when we are nearly in a cashless society is bad. To make it worse the lad who answered the phone needs to learn some manners/respect. I guess I’ll join the rest off the people who left what once was the best Chinese takeaway ☹️

Call in every so often for chips and gravy absolutely second to none

Been ordering from here for many years and always been quite good. Not the same as it used to be. Tonight shocked to find that our meals were reheated and not even properly as they were cold In the middle....binned!

Poor asked for one meal got another .i tried ringing but got no answer .

Ordered, nothing turned up and then didn't answer the phone

Ab fab!!! very tasty, quick delivery ! 10/5 from me :))

If this was first time ordering, I would’ve put one star, but I’m putting two because we order from here often and it’s usually quite good. delivery time was decent, but when the food was delivered and we’d got it out, we ended up with a wrong order. food was like it had been sat out for half an hour, was barely lukewarm when it arrived. Wasn’t necessarily pleasant to eat either, to be completely honest. We rang up to try and rectify the issue of the wrong order just to get told “you ordered it, nothing we can do” this was by far one of the worst experiences we’ve had with this takeaway, it’s quite sad to be honest because they’re our go to and we rarely have issues. But this wasn’t to their usual standards whatsoever. Probably won’t order again if this becomes a regular occurrence.

It's ok.... not the worst I have had. Not the greatest either, shame really. Lovely staff.

Always excellent food. I've been a customer since I was about 13 and I'm 53 now so they must be doing something right👍😃

Me and my family have used this Chinese for years, the food is full of flavour and the staff are always so lovely! Can not fault :)

Have used this takeaway for many years and it is always excellent. Food is tasty, service prompt. Delivered half an hour after ordering. Paid by card over phone and food left on doorstep so no worries with social distancing. Can’t fault it.

orederd our food tonight from golden sun Finningleyfor my family .paid 40.00 for it all .its the most disgusting food we ever tasted cold taste less rice was fatty prawns didn't have batter on them curry was like piss water and the Cantonese chicken was so sugery we couldn't eat it. I felt sick after it rang up said the not refunding me or credit note just got phobed off and said everyone's taste buds are different and the never had complaints before .just checked there reviews .appaualing food never ordering from them again .share this comment .just put photo on but the rest we thrown away .angela

Tonight I called at the Golden Sun and 10 minutes later I was driving home. The food was wonderful and portion size was outstanding

Best Chinese takeaway in the arrs ?

The best Chinese I've ever had, well worth the drive....

Great service, very fast on orders some food great others average , use a fair bit

Great Chinese takeaway located in the Doncaster area. Food is always ready quickly and is enjoyable.

We buy here a lot and it’s consistently good but tonight it was some of the best Chinese take away we’ve had. Really fresh

Oh dear...I don't like to give negative reviews but we can't give this place any more chances and don't want anyone else to waste their money.. The new(ish) owners took over a cracking business with a great reputation built on good quality food. It's now not a patch on what it once was, I doubt the chefs would eat what they expect us to pay for. The only positive to offer is that the girls at front of counter are always polite. We now travel to Hatfield Woodhouse for our treat. Avoid.

This used to be our favourite Chinese takeaway, went there regularly. Didn't go for a while due to the Covid 19 problem. Then decided to get a takeaway. I ordered Beef in Blackbean, my favourite. What a mess. The blackbean sauce looked and tasted like a weak beef gravy. The rest of the meal was just as tasteless and a mess. Never again. Actually I did look at some of the reviews and did not believe them due to my previous experience. They proved to be quite right. Thank you Tripadviser, I will listen next time.

Great service, friendly staff and decent food

Have never had a bad meal from here. Have used others during the corona shutdown but they weren't up to the standards this little diamond sets. Hurry up and come back, I'm 'hank marvin!'

Absolutely delicious! Not to mention a massive morale boost for the family during these uncertain times. Thank you for being open!

Chinese food they need to go back to China worst food I've have the pleasure of putting in the bin total waste of money every bit of it unedible tastes nothing like it's supposed too all taste of fish even the rice lemon chicken under cooked and no batter

Chinese food they need to go back to China worst food I've have the pleasure of putting in the bin total waste of money every bit of it unedible tastes nothing like it's supposed wow how can you make it so bad f****** send it on title s***

As far as we are concerned the food here is consistently good. Always tastes lovely and staff will make to customer's specification if required. Never had a bad meal over many years as customers. Good variety of vegetarian options and dishes always full of veg.

Could do better on ingredients but service and taste is great

Greasy rice, fish tasting beef chow mein, (good chips) and expensive for what it is, 1/5

They do some nice food here and the staff are very pleasant 👍 too

Good quality food at good prices!

Very nice curry & chips for £2.50.

Always ordered from here despite them putting up their prices considerably. Complained about our order tonight as one of the dishes was really sub-standard to what they usually send out. Their response was awful and they wouldn't do anything to rectify the problem as "all their dishes are made in the same way". The poor girl on the phone sounded embarassed having to repeat the manager's response. Food has been hit and miss for a long time and when you finally complain they don't do anything to sort it out.

Always within delivery estimate. Cheap n cheerful. Not high quality. Has declined over last 18mnth. Do accommodate to alterations of meals. Best thing on menu is salt n pepper chips

Really friendly service and the person who took our call was very kind and happy food was lovely and the portion sizes are really big very happy with this Chinese quick delivery time too

I use this takeaway occasionally, however as I live in Bawtry I find a £4 delivery charge a little steep, especially when I’m spending over £40. The food is good, and the menu has a few tweaks that other takeaways don’t do. I just wish they would offer free delivery over a certain price,as I’m sure they would do alright in Bawtry.

Najlepszy Chinczyk w miescie! Od lat.

Stunning service and best food around.

Good food and good prices, been going here for over 30 years

Prices have increased ridiculously

Not great at all. You can tell its a village Chinese the people have no choice. Substandard food and very expensive

We placed an order at 19:20pm keeping in mind we live only in the next village, was told our food would be delivered at the latest within the hour.... Almost 2hours and still waiting??!! We could of gone to ASDA for the ingredients, cooked it & then delivered to them in the same amount of time!?!?! Don’t waste your time .. go elsewhere!

I stopped there for a break. Nice and clean place,fast service and the food was very good. Someone said its a bit pricey. They have no competition around here and they still cheaper then chinese takaways in town centre.portion was good and very tasty. Recomended.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Thought the customer was always right, but upon receiving a call back from the sassy little lady behind the counter....I’m clearly wrong!

Best Chinese In Donny, friendly staff, super fast delivery, smoked shredded chicken and curry sauce are delicious. Used to order from golden phoenix before, after discovering this hidden gem. We order only from here

Quite simply the best Chinese takeaway for miles around! Been using this place for over 30 years and it's always been excellent.

I've had several takeaways over the last year from The Golden Sun,and they have always been consistent. What I like about this place,is the fact that will will manufacture a dish to your liking. I just love hot spicy dishes,and they will go out of their way to do this for me. I've asked many other takeaways to do the same,however they come nowhere near the standard if The Golden Sun.

I'm not the biggest fan of takeaway Chinese food, but as take outs go - these guys are good... Happy to adapt menu items too - good to have them local to us.

Shortchanged me out of ten pounds then refused to address the issue. Badly ran be people who have no time for regular customers

Absolutely gorgeous. One of the best chinese meals I've had in a very long time.

Food not too bad, the portions are fairly big decent prices too.

Best Chinese I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious and large sized portions. Pricey but worth it! Anything with sweet and sour sauce is to die for. Will be my go to Chinese from now on 👍🏻👍🏻

Easy parking, fast service, great food at a reasonable price.

Beautiful every time I have been,meal always cooked to perfection and not long waiting depending on time of phone call. In

ordered our food from here as it used to be the best when we got it back part of the order was missing so we rang them and got told we ordered wrong and she repeated our order which she never. The food is no where near what it used to be so we won't be coming here again

Best Chinese restaurant in Doncaster

Still the best in the area. Always good food, never had a problem. Staff are always friendly and always large portions for your money.

Since its been taken over this place is awful orders never right meat alway fatty no sauce with the meals No more for me daughter loves the chips and rice

Really nice food, but a bit pricey

Great Chinese take away with English options

Nice takeaway, reasonably priced

Local chinese of choice, friendly and prompt delivery....very tasty duck.

Amazing authentic food and friendly staff! Consider me a regular!!

Bit bland if I must be honest. Egg fried rice with hardly any egg in it. Beef with nuts and they were sprinkled on top as if an after thought etc

My go to Chinese, the food is always good

Best chinky around always good quality

Just spent £11:50 on a Chinese and my friend received no fortune in her fortune cookie she is feeling very disappointed about this and is wondering what lies in the future for her

Had several meals here and due to a lack of consistency I'd struggle to write an accurate review. Had one of the best meals and also one of the worst from the same establishment. Very friendly staff Menu is of a typical Chinese with little deviation from the norm.

I asked for a 148 shredded chicken in chilli sauce and got plain spicy chicken!!! Not happy one bit!! Been looking forward to it all night and I get this had to throw it I would have had it but it's so dry not having any sauce!! Looks like it's a packet of crisps and bed for me !!!

To say this was the best takeaway not long ago it has simply gone to the dogs! They messed my order up and when they corrected it they didn't even apologise! I think a little less msg wouldn't go a miss either!!!!

All food was very bland and nothing had any flavour of anything. Service was good but will not visit again as i like my food to taste of something, anything even if its not the right thing. Texture was good just complete absense of flavour, tried multiple dishes and all were the same.

Ordered food from hear today absolutely dreadfully after having to wait well over a hour you would think it would be good. Chips cold and re fried, sweet and sour chicken ball's was small and looked as if they had being cooked a while ago like eating rubber the curry was OK but nothing amazing So disappointed with the food . Just so poor Nedd to get their act together .

lovely food and excellent service. Food arrived on time and well nice!!!! Have been ordering for over 5 years, must try their fried rice, mince pork, ribs ....... You get what you pay for!!!

Ordered once from this Chinese and spent almost £50. Food was average and service was poor but nonetheless we thought we'd try it again as we were new to the area. In the first order there was a drip of hoisin sauce so in the second we asked for a reasonable amount, however was told this would cost extra. Given we were spending a lot of money, also regardless of this, it should be standard to receive an appropriate amount. In any event, I am happy that this happened now as it gave us the opportunity to discover Shanghaii Chinese at Armthore which is absolutely amazing, the best Chinese ever, good value and service with beautiful food. #teamshanghaii #byebyegoldensun

Food is good delivery is good . But cost £3 now shocking bring it back down

The food here is brilliant, but the service they provide is shocking. Ordered on a Saturday was told it would be half an hour was waiting well over an hour. I was stood in the Chinese for more than half an hour along with another 15 or so customers. Not a single order came out, when they came out, they all came out together.

Great food well cooked. arrives quickly and hot
