Nice food and delivered quick just every time they get one part of the order wrong. Won't be ordering again

Service was very good and prices were great for what we had.. Will definitely return.Thanks

Absolutely fantastic experience at Porth Palace! The ambiance was enchanting, the staff were incredibly attentive, and the food was divine. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. Can't wait to visit again!

Porth Palace exceeded all expectations! From the moment we stepped in, we were treated like royalty. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the decor to the menu selection, was impeccable. A truly memorable dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a culinary delight.

Lovely food excellent prices and very friendly and helpful staff.Love it always a good service fresh chicken and clean  restaurant

So amazing & delicious😋 food. I would definitely recommend anyone else. Many Thanks ❤

I had a meal at Porth Palace yesterday, and it was the best I've ever had. Nowhere else can you find crispy beef like theirs!

Exceptional experience at Porth Palace! The stunning views, impeccable service, and delicious cuisine exceeded all expectations. Can't wait to return for another unforgettable stay.

👍👍lovely food，huge portion in crispy chicken with rice and sauce.

Excellent service, delivery in 20 mins . So yummy would order soon. Food is alway hot .

Ordered food tonight. Tasted fresh and piping hot. Porth palace never fails to satisfy my hunger. Been ordering here since I was in school (2012) roughly 😅 I know new owners take over for nearly 2 years and I can honestly say everything still lives up to standards. Fast delivery, the gentleman behind the counter was polite and gave me many options to the meals I wanted. If I have any special requests more sauce more veg ect they will add it on. Brilliant service brilliant establishment. Cannot complain I recommend salt and pepper chicken. Special omelette and chips (fresh cut real chips not frozen) My favourite is the gravy sauce😛.

I moved from the Rhondda over 2 years ago and whenever I'm home I order from here the food is amazing and so are the staff Great take away well worth the money

Ever since this takeaway has changed owners, I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with them. First of all, when the new owners had taken over the establishment we ordered a takeaway from them and when we ordered, they said it would take at most one hour. Come two and a half hours later we still hadn’t received our food. We then called Porth Palace and they told us it had left. Thirty minutes later the food finally arrived but lo and behold it was the complete wrong order. After phoning the takeaway, they said to come down and they would give the correct food (which is fair enough). Upon getting there, as soon as we entered the young man behind the counter was nothing short of obscenely rude to us, saying that it was not their fault that our order was wrong. At this point I was gobsmacked at his language and just decided to leave without and food. Cut to tonight where I had family from England coming down so we decided to order some food and they decided to try Porth Palace. I thought maybe they would have gotten better since the last few months and I decided to give it a go again. How much I regret doing so. We ordered about £26 worth of food and their menu stated that orders over £20 would come with free prawn crackers. So when the food came and we had no prawn crackers, I went on the phone to say they forgot our prawn crackers. What could be described as an onslaught of insults and vulgarities came spewing from the person on the phone. When I asked about the prawn crackers the person said that they do not give free prawn crackers. Then I asked why it was on their menu then they said that if I could read the menu I would see. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from them. A 40+ year successful business ruined by people who don’t know how to handle customers. I won’t ever be ordering from here again neither will my friends or family.

Having eaten here twice successfully, we thought we were on our way to having a new favourite local Chinese takeaway. Spent 45 minutes stood around waiting for my food only to be told they'd neglected to put noodles on my order. After speaking to the girl at the counter, and being told the noodles were coming, a further 20 minutes went by with no noodles. After speaking to another person at front of house, I'm then told the noodles weren't being made and that he'd have to put it through on the system. That'll be yet another wait. Suffice to say, asked for my money back, and won't be making the mistake of ordering from here again. Food's nice, but clearly unable to take or fulfil orders with any accuracy. Never mind. Back to Golden House for us.

Ordered food for collection was told to collect in 20 minutes. My husband was first handed someone else's food before staff realised it was the wrong order. 45 minutes after initially ordering we were told our food was ready after my husband queried how long the food would be but they had forgotten to add a dish, we were informed that they would make that dish straight away and keep our food hot. 20 minutes later after asking a different staff member about the dish we were informed further that said dish had not been started and we would have to wait longer. Suffice to say after more than 60 minutes of waiting in the shop my husband requested a refund and left without the food. Ended up having a Chinese takeaway a few miles up the road from Golden house with no issues at all.

As for the prices, they were quite reasonable, making it an excellent choice for a satisfying and affordable meal. I'll be a returning customer for sure!

Amazing food fast delivery I'm one happy customer

Didn't include the ribs as standard in set meal but had option for large spring roll or ribs lots of chicken in curry and fried rice as well as large chicken balls overall satisfactory but not fantastic

calm and quite place , i love that, dont use your mobile phone after the order. Sit down and feel the difference

The mixed starter, chicken curry, beef in black bean sauce and house special Rice it is excellent 💯 and not boring like other takeaways in the area! Quick delivery too! Try it, lovely food. I'll see you soon and thanks!

For years and years only had Chinese from here especially loved the special gravy sauce haven't had one for a few months, there must be new owners because yuck! Watery tastless gravy, reheated solid cheap chips, beef chowmein tasteless, portion sizes halfed (not that it mattered as half was thrown out) spent over £40 even the prawn crackers was the rubbish bought stuff rather than made at the shop like before. Won't be ordering from there again

This is my local Chinese take away...and I am very happy. Very good and fresh quality, plenty of it. I love the crispy chicken, the best actually I have had in Porth area. The lovely lady always has a smile and she already knows what I want.... Jason Special. It is very popular in Porth .very busy on Saturdays though so I waited a bit long to get it. Salt and pepper chips are so delicious.

Been enjoying Porth Palace gravy for over 20 years. New owners take on a successful business and serves watery rubbish on cheap horrible chips. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Won't be going back in a hurry.

Excellent food and friendly service. Very fast delivery. Salt and Pepper chicken lovely and fresh. Barbecue sauce very tasty. Crispy beef was amazing. Will order again :)

Wasted £35 on a horrible take away. Every dish reheated or over cooked. Rice mushy, chicken satay overcooked, chips reheated and like rubber. Sweet and sour sauce, yuk! Beef chow mein was plain chow mein. First and last time I'll eat from there. Most of it went in the bin, AVOID.

Had the meal for 2 . Really enjoyed it . Every item was tasty. Highly recommended. And phone order and payments make it so easy to enjoy a lovely meal.

Had food from here 21.1.23 the chips were over cooked(burnt). Meal for 1 was dry,and unbeatable. Went in bin. Usually food good .

£52 worth of pure heaven 😍 best Chinese is the rhondda 😋

Just had the best Chinese I've had in years! Haven't had food from here in about 20 years, ordered on a friend's recommendation, didn't think they delivered to Ferndale, so always ordered local. That's certainly going to change. Porth palace is definitely my go to Chinese takeaway from now on. Food was stunning! Best I've had in a very long time! 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from our house!

The worst Chinese meal we have ever had ordered a Jason special and tray sweet and sour chicken the Jason special came with hardly any curry sauce all squashed with over cooked rice and tasteless. The sweet and sour didn’t even resemble sweet and sour chicken again squashed in a tray with a blop of overcooked mush of rice with hardly any sauce didn’t even taste like sweet and sour waste of money most went in food bin never again

Everyone knows the food is banging best curry around

Ordered from here the food was freezing first time. Second time we picked it up chicken balls were solid been cooked way too long we had to bin them.

Very Friendly Staff And Excellent Service, Clean And Stunning Food

Been ordering here for about a 18 months as it's one of the only places that offer vegan options around here. My complaint isn't with quality of food itself but the consistant messing up of orders. Wrong sizes, sending meat when ordering vegan options. I know places make mistakes but it's has now become a problem everytime I order, and now they're saying "oh we'll give you extra next time" sorry there won't be a next time.

lovely food, best gravy with i chinese i’ve ever had

Very fast delivery always hot lovley tasty food very polite on phone always accurate order very happy customer .

Stunning food would really recommend this chinese, every time I have ordered food from here it has always been really nice and they do the red bbq sauce to always polite and food always ready for collection and delivery vertualy always on time.

Terrible!! CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO ORDER!!

Shocking service! Ask for no veg due to allergy And they messed the order up when I rung to explain this they refused to change my order there and then and told me I would have to wait until I order next time! Well I can assure you there will be no next time!!!

Porth Palace has been about since i can remember..with the lovely Mei Ling serving the famous Jason Special which consists of meat of your choice with chips. peas, onions and special Gravy sauce or Curry sauce..Many special dishes to indulge in to be fair 😋..well worth a visit 👌

Excellent food,piping hot. Lady who serves always polite and friendly knows her food. Great value for money fast service and will deliver

Eat here on a weekly basis! Food has always been spot on and never had any problems. Large portions for the price! Amazing value.

Foul food and staff seem to rush you into ordering something you don't want. Rice is clumpy and undercooked and too salty, curry sauce there is no flavour or watered down and chicken balls are more batter than chicken. This place is a miss for me. I will go elsewhere from now on

I have tried a few meals from here and they have all been aweful. Crispy beef is supposed to be crispy but was not crispy but very chewy and did not seem like beef to me.i will never go here again for many reasons and I only gave 1 star to write this otherwise it would be zero stars

Amazing Chinese, very fast delivery time and great friendly owners. Don’t miss out on this one ☝️ Also they have great meal for one specials 🤤

Friendly staff. Great food. Would highly recommend.

Had the chicken ball special you have not lives until you have tried eating here the staff are friendly the place is clean and it's 4 star hygiene should be 5 ..... And the delivery service is quick and reliable they say 45mins and it's never late love it #must eat here best Chinese in the Rhondda

Nice food you have to try the Jason special

Nice place. Good people and good manners!

Best Chinese take away gravy and fresh cut chips yummy!

I realy enjoy eating here when i do, The food is always tasty and top notch, the only 1 negative thing from here is that, after eating i need a drink, but if you have a nice glass of cold beer you will be fine... Staff always friendly..

Shocking! All sauces on different dishes , same flavour, foul .

Very nice as normal. Best takeaway in Porth

Very friendly family run business specialising in Chinese cuisine

Absolutely love it. Probably the best around the area and everyone I speak to says the same

Disgusting chips and never again!!@

It’s the nicest Chinese I’ve had in a long time, so tasty and not oily or greasy. Highly recommend them.

I love this place and Mei Ling is a gem . Service is always on time and the food is always hot x

Friendly and prompt service value for money on fixed main menu and meals for multiple people

Ordered a Duck with orange sauce when I got home found it was Pineapple!This is the second time this has happened, should have checked in shop!Not only that but it looked like they just threw a can of Pineapple in a pan and just fried it to reduce and thicken.Not good, won't be going there again!

Hit or miss. Sometimes food is super greasy. It depends on the day like when the council go out to do there food hygeine rating. One day it could be filthy with rats running around then the next day may be there monthly cleaning day in the kitchen so it'll be super clean. It would be best to ask before you order when they last replaced the oil in there fryers. This will give you an idea of when they last cleaned and how good the food is going to taste. There are good parking facilities and prices are average for a Chinese meal. Best of luck with your visit.

Lovely food and fast delivery service and incredible customer service

If you like to tap your curry and rice out of carton like you do with a bucket and spade when you make a sandcastle then this is the place to go, but me I like curry same consistency as gravy

Fantastic Food, Well Recommended By My Friend WHO swears by this place. The waiting time is minimal and the prices really reasonable

Lovely Chicken Shish the home made Bread Lush

Been here forever and food still awesome as allways

Stunning food. Very friendly welcoming owners/staff.

Mays chicken balls are amayzing ;)

Best Chinese around the valley in my opinion. 5☆ hygiene rating as well.
