Golden Valley in Welwyn Hatfield

By far the best Chinese in town can not beat it for friendliness and speed the food comes out

This is a cash only place. That's the only reason they didn't get 5*

I have been ordering from here for years and never failed to impress. Last occasion was the best so far, so good I'm leaving a review which I rarely do.

Ordered small cod,chicken pie savaloy and chips. Fish was warm chicken pie was cold and so was the savaloy. Only the chips were hot because they had just been made. Third time we’ve had an awful meal from there,we will not be going back.

Nice and clean foods friendly specially the lady shes lovely

The most disgusting fish and chips I have had in a long time. The fish (3 of) came straight out of the fryer and straight into the bag and it took half a kitchen roll to mop up all the oil. The chips were basically 2 bags of bits and we were hard pressed to find any decent ones. £21 for 3 med cod and 2 large chips but really not worth the money.

Went here for the first time and asked for a VEGETABLE spring roll and the roll was full of bean shoots. Not impressed at all, that cost me £3, I half expected VEGETABLES to be inside it, but to be honest I should have took heed to how this place looked on the outside of the shop. That may have given me an idea of how bad this place is. Binned it straight away £3 down the pan. The spring roll looked so wrong I can’t say on here but the outer crust was grease ridden 🤢 completely flavourless to say the least. I did however get a hot and sour soup which was nice, so I can’t say much about that. I dont think I’ll ever be going back there tho. I knew I should’ve just stuck to the chippy in woodhall. I was just being lazy but hey ho you live’n’learn! Seriously don’t get anything from here, and looking at the previous reviews. I wished I looked at them myself! You are throwing your money away by buying food from this place.

Order food from here so delicious and quickly ready , use again

Friendly staff, good fish and chips and nice chinese food 😋 👌🏾

Very hit and miss with chinese meals recently. We had a lovely meal from here about 2 months ago, but the meal we had today was awful. The chicken balls were extremely greasy on the outside (;the bag they came in was swimming in grease) but the chicken inside was dry and and hard to chew so threw them away. The beef was also very chewy.The rice was ok.

A very delicious Chinese eatery. The menu is abundant it well worth a visit.

Best Chinese/Chippy in town! Fast, friendly service. Food quality is second to none.

Used to go a lot, but the last few times it hasn't been as good. It's still fine, but the food just isn't as tasty, and the sauces seem a bit watered down. It's a shame as it used to be top-notch.

Food had no flavour. Chicken balls extremely greasy.

Lovely little palce. The members of staff were very polite and followed instructions well. The only thing to note is that if you go in to order, they only accept cash. However, on their site and the app, you can pay with a card.

Quite possibly the best Chinese I’ve ever eaten from and I’ve sampled one or two 😂

Only Chinese I use , amazing food good service and fast

ordered a take away over the phone.when i to pick it up i was told cash only. .they never said that over the phone.i walked out and will never it again. .

First time experience was mesmerising

Food is overpriced and tastless. Minimum ingredients which at the price they charge you expect your sweet n sour to have pineapple in. Wont be returning. I would have avoided if i had read the reveiws. Its not the only chinese in town so pretty sure it will shut down if the quality stays the same

AVOID! We ordered from here on Sunday evening, we opted for collection (15 minute turn around..) and the food was dry, tasteless and disappointing. 24 hours later my boyfriend and I had awful food poisoning all through the night and days after. I don’t usually leave reviews but we’re so angry, please don’t waste your money here. It’s a shame as this Chinese used to be our go to a couple of years ago, however we will NEVER be ordering from here again.

Great food. Great Chinese food and fish and chips. Unfortunately not a health food, but a lovely treat from time to time.

Prices do not reflect on menu pricing. Quite expensive now and food has been dry lately,

Best fish and chips in Welwyn Garden City fantastic size portions value for money and staff are always friendly and polite

Food was disgusting!!! Burnt, old tasting.. Found a massive hair in my chow mein.. Only got a refund for half the food even though I couldn't stress enough how disgusting the lot was!!! Will never ever go bk here!! Don't waste your money. Oh yeah.. My boyfriend was straight on the loo after eating wjat he could of his. Gross 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Absolutely brilliant service food was amazing with good portions, the food was piping hot when it was delivered to me. Reasonably priced quick service tasty food what more could you want i would highly recommend this takeaway. I will be ordering from them again. Trace from Tewin

Over priced but I used to be happy to pay it as the food was excellent. Had been going to this Chinese for over 20 years and I've now been converted to Green Garden. They are much friendlier on the phone and the food is much tastier. Just ordered chips and Vegetable spring rolls from Golden Valley and they have gone straight in the bin 🤢 over cooked spring rolls and they smell weird. Chips are all scrappy.

Just had your meal it was fabulous your cooks are really doing it lotsa stock juicy full of flavour keep it up guys well impressive yum yum you out do all the rest🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow! I haven't been here since before covid and I'll never go back again. Not sure if it has changed hands - but the fish, chips and chowmein we had tonight were absolutely terrible! The fish was absolutely saturated in old tasting oil. The chips were tasteless with quite an unpleasant texture. The pork and duck chowmein smelt and tasted pretty rancid £25 down the pan - just waiting for dominos to arrive now!

Lovely place, great food, friendly efficient service. Highly recommended

Cold food.no spice.over a hour and a half delivery. Not a happy customer x

Great Chinese and fish and chips, highly recommended, the only reason not giving 5 stars is cash only

Lovely local Chinese takeaway. We ordered egg fried rice, plain chow mein, chicken kung po and prawn toasts, all were incredibly tasty and not oily. Only downside, they are a cash only operation 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Fish small, chips undercooked and soggy. Will never use again.

Beef and black bean sauce was the best I ever had. Ordered as soon as they opened on Valentine’s Day food came in 30 minutes. Lady on phone seemed kind of blunt but Valentine’s Day must be stressful

Best in town, rust duck chow mein is 10/10

Very greasy chips and the fat smelt like it hadn't been changed in a long while, not pleasant.

Chips and chineese quick and Easy takeaway.

Undercooked food... Infact barley cooked at all, was ill for days

Very nice, good food and quick service!

Absolutely delicious. We drive from Shenley for it.

Excellent fish and chips Chinese is also excellent well worth a visit. Staff very friendly

The staff were polite and the food tasted amazing. Not much else to say!

Fish n chips or Chinese perfect place for a fresh meal 😋

Great lunch time specials great customer service

Been going for so many years and always fantastic food and very friendly staff. I would always come here first for the best Chinese food.

Quality food, was very happy with my order last weekend. Never had such good beef from a chiense before. Would highly recommend.

Best Chinese food in Welwyn Garden City. Black Bean sauce and Chow Main dishes are particularly good. I also love that the containers are mostly cardboard and not plastic.

The best fish & chip shop / Chinese takeaway in the town without question but when it's busy they haven't got a clue , frustrating .

Best place to get Chinese food, by far. Some places slather it in fluid. Some places produce really dry food. This place does it just right. Note: it's cash only if you are picking it up, however deliveries are available. 2nd note: they are not on any of those delivery apps, so you will have to call direct.

Not a bad Chinese. Good sized potions. Nice staff. Reasonably priced

Chinese and fish and chips great food friendly service good value

Excellent local Chinese food takeaway. Really enjoyed the quality of the food at a reasonable price.

Always great food reasonably priced. Great special priced lunchtime menus large portions.

Very busy and to many people in the shop it took 30 minutes to get oap cod and chips but where polite and bought it out to me

Always great quality food at reasonable prices

Been eating food from here for years. Really good portions. Has a great lunch menu. I usually go for the Chicken Chow Mein for lunch, but sweet n sour chicken balls ( comes with rice) is also a tangy alternative.

Nice chinese food and a cracker to boot.

Ordered a Chinese Takeaway tonight absolutely lovely food was delivered nice and hot first time ordered from here will definitely order again

Brilliant service when i ordered monday evening and the female delivery driver was first class polite and very well mannered it was amazing service i was given and the food that was delivered was very hot and quick and was amazing def will use again

Best Chinese takeaway in the area.

Ordered some spring rolls that instead was sent as one huge spring roll, that was absolutely awful. Rang to complain and the staff were so rude!!! Never had such a poor experience. Aside from this the rest or the food was greasy

We have sorely missed Golden Valley being open. Tried 3 others and they just weren't as good. Lovely friendly staff and tasty food whether you choose Chinese or fish & chips.

We have Haddock and chips they cook to order . Great tasty dinner . Lovely setvice,friendly staff

Always good quality & good value Use regularly. Always good food and lunch time deals are large and tasty. Did give us noodles instead of rice (once in many visits) still tasted good and received many apologies when we told them the next time we went.

THE BEST chinese around and the lunch time specials are brilliant value for money. The chip shop is excellent as well and very well priced.

Good staff good service good value

Great service. Great food. Speedy service and my local. Can't ask for more.

I think they have changed staff as it is not as good as it was,

Ordered large cod and chips a saveloy and some curry sauce £12.20 . The delivery arrived cod was a strange square shape average in taste the curry sauce was awful which is strange as i normally love the chinese style sauce compared to the usual gloopy stuff saveloy small and cold . Most of it ended up in the dogs bowl ... a lot of money really wish i had got a chinese now . Even the chips were midly warm and soggy hard to believe the standard which is normally excellent ... shame

Good selection of dishes, decent sized portions for your money, and food is very tasty.

Very good fish and chips and Chinese takeaway

Not as good as it used to be. Food is a lot greater.

Best fish and chips in Hertfordshire and the Chinese is to die for but they don't deliver to hatfield

Friendly staff, lovely food and big portions of chips.

The food was delicious and portion sizes were big. We enjoyed our dinner.

Service for take away very slow waiting over 20 minutes meal was mediocre and quite expensive also pancake roll was huge But for some reason they use lumps of cheap processed ham in it that was not very nice won't be rushing back there

Its an nasty and awful Chinese takeaway now. When I ask the staff why their fishes are pathetic small on lunch time？A stuffless male' answer is that it is. I hate this condescending attitude and unreasonable price. If you want to eat nice chinese you can go to somewhere else.

Best Chinese I've ever had better than every restaurant i have tried, a little expensive like all Chinese takeaway but the portions were a large size and very well cooked, none of the food was greasy, none of the meat was overcooked or dry.

Undercooked chips. Told it was because they were new potatoes!?!

Nice experience good food very polite

Ok for quick Chinese takeawau or fish and chips. Reasonably priced.

Lovely food , and quick service

The food is great and the service as well. I would have give 5* but they don’t have too many dishes with vermicelli witch I personally love.

Great fish and chips and chicken curry. Always fresh and tasty. The only downside is cash only payments.

Best piece of fish I have had in ages

Won’t be ordering from this place again! Basically been called a liar by one of the members of staff there, waiting time has been well over 1 hour and 10 mins. By the time it arrives it will probably be freezing cold! Avoid this place! If I could give zero stars I certainly would!

The food here is so good but inexpensive and the service is really good. Definitely the best chinese takeway in this area

Great portion sizes and good food.

Best in the area good food and great service with friendly staff who remember you.

Great fish & chips every time! Great value!

Went yesterday there chipd were £1.50.went there tonight they are £1.90..i live 2mins away.i would rather travel to woodhall.i wont use peartree rip off again

Always go there. Best Chinese takeaway in Welwyn Garden City xx

Do the best lunch time special in town £5.50

Tasty food, very fast service and really friendly. Have been using this takeaway for years and always been great. I usually phone through the order and it's ready by the time I arrive to pick it up 10mins later.

I think all chinese food is a bit meh, but this is the best chinese takeaway around this area.

Good chinese food, tasty and always hot. Large portions and good value. Would be better if they took card. Chips are large portions but not crispy and a bit greasy. Chip shop food could be of better quality but for the price it's fair. Would still recomend for the chinese food.

Nice lunch deals at an affordable price, would be 5 stars if they accepted card.

Perfect every time. Consistently good food.

Food tasted abysmal and they forgot our order. It took an hour to be delivered. You couldn't pay me to eat this absolute trash
