Got king prawn and chicken curry....love this from other local takeaways,first time using this one.. not the best , the chicken wasn't white chicken and I had 1 (one ) prawn and the prawn crackers didn't taste fresh.

We were told to wait an hour and when we came back in an hour we had to wait a further 25 minutes. Unacceptable.

Sometimes amazing sometimes dry. The lady on the counter is amazing. However the food is either nice and spicy or nothing at all with it being dry and tough.

Probably one of the worst Chinese takeaways I have ever had, and I’ve been all over the UK. Chicken tough, curry sauce completely tasteless and fried rice well?? I won’t go there again. Lady on the counter was brilliant

Not like any chow mein I've ever had before. Overcooked noodles, no beansprouts and a weird gravy like sauce. Sorry, but I couldn't eat it. Chips portion was half what you'd expect. Couldn't pay on card, has to do bank transfer. Girl in the shop was lovely though.

Stars are purely only for the lady on the front desk as she was great. Food shocking, so disappointed, tiny portions compared to most Chinese Takeaways. Not enough flavour at all. Very let down.

Large selection of dishes. Lady on counter was extremely welcoming and friendly. I like this a lot. Food came out within 5 mins of ordering. All well wrapped. I was solo so had chow mien and peking chicken dishes (with boiled rice). Was good. Noodle well cooked. Peking chicken nice and tangy with a little kick. I enjoyed a lot. I read other reviews and was surprised by the negative comments. My experience was good. I would go back again. Only minor negative is that the peking dish only filled half the pot. If sharing the dish than you may feel a little short changed. For me no issue. Prices were fair. Decent quality

Asked for egg fried rice, bbq sauce and portion of chips. Someone went in for my order and returned with 1 pot . Opened up and all in 1 pot. Chips had this brown watery liquid over them and the rice was on the other side of the pot with no sauce at all The liquid that I assume was supposed to be bbq sauce was just so little it had just made the few chips it was over soggy and stuck together. Not even soy sauce could save it and the dog cried when he sniffed it. Straight in the bin.

Popping in to see Katie at the Golden Rice is always a treat. You are greeted by a warm smile, and once you have placed your order, you can then marvel at her amazing multitasking skills. I have seen that lady, take a call, note down an order, and work out the price, all while wrapping the food that has come out of the hatch behind her. Between these times, she's always up for a pleasant chat while you wait for your takeaway. She's awesome! The food from here has always been delicious and reasonably priced, which is why it has now been my regular Chinese takeaway for years and the go to place after every haircut session in Hexham to finish off my evening. Please note its cash only, but that is hardly a problem as there are a number of ATMs close by.

I sent my daughter in for a snack as we were eating late, 2 sides (soft noodles/fried rice) curry sauce and she ordered some prawn crackers - as we drove off she told me it was £12.20 I immediately thought there must be a mistake, I d expected it to be around £6/7 so we checked their menu online, we could only see the noodles which were £3.50 before the call connected I explained a mistake has been made with the order and was told no mistake was made…that the noodles were £5, I stopped her and said your menu states £3.50 and she insisted it was £5 then listed extortionate prices upto £12.20 Flabbergasted I hung up, we can get 2 full meals for that price from our usual Chinese! To add insult to injury the curry sauce was green, it looked and smelled like a baby’s nappy so that went straight in the bin, the rice was very dry, the noodles were mediocre.

After reading the first few reviews I decided to give this a try. One of the worst Chinese meals I ve had, meat was tough and grey looking, left a horrible lingering taste. Looking further down the there are many reviews similar to this. Hopefully I can save someone else going hungry as our meals were inedible...

Personal recommendations for dishes: - Cantonese Shredded Beef - Salt and Chilli Chicken - Chicken Curry - House Special Fried Rice/Chowmein - and a portion of chips and curry/gravy is a MUST

Just awful! After being loyal to this take out over the years I will NEVER be going back after twice in the last month having very poor service..with no smile, polite apology...nothing. I called for takeout when they opened and was told 1hr (which seemed to be the norm for every call that night despite the queue for orders). I went diwn to collect at 6.10 and the place was absolutely heaving, and the lone server on the counter STILL taking phone calls despite a 40 minute extra wait for my order, and even then only after I asked! Food is okay but just not worth the hassle or grumpy service. No apology, no small discount. In shirt, terrible service, don't bother...there are plenty of others in Hexham and Corbridge. TIP- Hire more staff for busy nights and treat your customers better.

Prices are well worth it, great portion size and excellent taste. If you're looking for something quick and well priced get the sauce in chips & rice. Small is 2.60 (still a great price, more than enough for one person) large is 3.60 I believe and is enough for two.

We paid nearly £40 for 5 dishes, 2 of which were egg rice. Instead of "crispy" chilli beef , we got soggy tasteless beef with sweet and sour sauce. Instead of sweet and sour chicken balls in batter, we got Hong Kong chicken. Chowmein that was covered in nastiness soaked in water, it was more like super-noodles with veg. And bland spring rolls . Don't eat here

I have lived in around around Hexham for a few years now and this is the first trip (I am said to say) to the New Golden Rice and have to say... I should have gone there years ago.The place looks quite innocuous and you could miss it as you drive down the high street as I have done many times, but once you get something from there I doubt you would want to go anywhere else. The food is sensational. Can't describe it any other way. Yes, you have to wait - this place is very popular especially at weekends and even phoning ahead I had to wait for about 20 mins for the order to be ready but it was worth it. This actually beats a lot of places on Stowell Street in Newcastle hands down. I cannot say enough about it and it just joined my favourite takeaways list.

rude staff, food was not good. To be honest, if food is bad I usually don’t care as others might like the style and i simply prefer it different, but what i do not agree with is if you own any sort of shop or do any job that involves customer interaction, being rude is so not needed.

The food was hot and very tasty. I had sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style with fried rice - delicious. My other half had Singapore chow mein with curry sauce and a portion of chips. Wow - the portions were so generous that we couldn’t eat the chips. So, lovely food but perhaps they should show the size of the portions / container when ordering!
