A fairly small, simple and quaint restaurant, but excellent value and delicious Chinese food. The chicken and sweetcorn soup is some of the best I have ever tasted. Well seasoned and the texture is perfect, as often some places make it way too gloopy. The prawn toast had more prawn in it than virtually every other place i have been, furthermore you can tell its homemade rather than the oh so common freezer to fryer ones made with a prawn and chicken mix. The hot garlic beef steak was absolutely divine, so tender and spicy, a standout dish. Only downside, the sweet and sour wasn’t great, I have much better elsewhere, but the rest of the food is so good it doesn’t bother me, I just don’t order it anymore! If you have somewhere to eat at home, there isn’t much advantage to eating out at the restaurant compared to as a takeaway as its a simple setting, but regardless the staff have always been very friendly and catered to our needs well. The best Chinese in Bowness/Windermere and it’s not even close! (And trust me, at the time of writing we have been to them all!)

Me and my partner ordered a meal from here this evening which we picked up, when we arrived the restaurant was absolutely packed , very busy . Well I’m not surprised because our takeaway was divine!! Everything was red hot , tasty and delicious! We will definitely have this again when we are in Windermere! The special chow mein, beef in black bean and salt and pepper king prawns were the best we have ever had!

Had a wonderful meal this evening,with excellent Vegan dishes,the salt and pepper tofu starter was amazing.Our waitress Zuzka was extremely efficient and very reassuring with regard to the Vegan dishes .The only downside was the restaurant was rather cold -will come next in summer or get a takeaway.

Our second visit and still a s hood as it was years ago. It’s in great location but is small/few tables. Plenty menu choice and food was lovely. Excellent value for money. Staff are friendly and attentive. You take your own alcohol (no corkage charges either) although they sell soft drinks. Fab little place we will be back. Also near to fab little quirky bar The Crafty baa for pint befor, after or both.

Ordered a takeaway ‘Crispy Duck’ with Bean Sprouts & Soy Sauce. The so called ‘Crispy Duck’ was inedible due to it being completely dry and appeared like a leftover bit of meat that had been left around for days. I decided to bin it. Incidentally I have used its sister restaurant (Trungs) in Bolton le Sands and have always had beautifully cooked food. The staff in the Golden Mountain are friendly & efficient, the menu is fairly priced.

Lovely attentive staff and a pleasant relaxing atmosphere. Didn't reserve the table but were still sitted as soon as one became available which didn't take long. The food arrived sooner than expected, piping-hot, freshly cooked and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Have never had chinese so pungent and tasty: chicken with ginger & spring onion was so gingery, it was incredible. Salt & pepper ribs had an immensely crispy and crunchy coating on them and were smothered in heaps of toasted crushed garlic - divine! Singapore vermicelli chow mein brilliant! The best discovery was the 'salt & pepper chips' - something no meal can do without! All finger-licking good!

Every time we visit Windermere, we visit this Chinese to sit in… and it never disappoints… and this time is no exception. Delicious food, loads of choice, a nice setting, friendly staff… and you can take your own alcohol without any corkage fee. Highly recommended, you might want to book in advance as the restaurant was full on a Tuesday night.

Great restaurant with fabulous food and very friendly service. I've (reluctantly) docked it 1 star because the dining area is so small that the noise of the kitchen is always present - it can't be described as intimate or relaxing. This is a minor quibble - the food is so good that it seizes your attention.

Used come here all the time when the old owners had it as was best chinese ever had, tired them once when new owners took over, was OK but no way as good as old owners. But today decided give them another try as was in area. Never again. Menu didn't have as many choices and my favourite, beef and mushrooms was no longer on the menu, so decided go with Beef Chow Mein. Was looking forward to it as was remembering how tasty the noodles used to be. But what arrived was biggest disappointed ever, don't know how they manage it but was the most bland, tasteless meal I've ever had. The meat was cheap and fatty. Wasn't even any soy sauce on table to be able drown it in that to give it some flavour. Notice even table next to us left most their food as well. My mum had chicken and Pineapple, and all she could taste was the Pineapple.Not only that, but had just a coke to drink which was flat, so that wasn't enjoyable to drink. Had 2 waitresses on plus someone taking orders by phone. No one asked if everything was alright, one waitresses didn't even talk and looked like she prefer to be somewhere else. At one point, one waitress and person taken phone orders had little arguement which wasn't professional. Will not be returning.

On the first night of a trip away it was quite hard to find somewhere to eat, given it was a Sunday. These guys were more than happy though to accommodate our needs and have some food ready for us to pick up once we'd explored the town a little. We're so glad we came about this gem though as there was absolutely no grease in the end product and the taste was insane! Planning on picking up some food for the drive home in a couple days as we're absolutely blown away. Would come back 10/10 times!

Tried to have a meal here the other night, when we went in there were two couples eating at tables and a couple waiting for take away food, we waited a couple of minutes and eventually someone came out with a phone attached to his ear taking orders, to cut a long story short two couples came in to pick up food, three more phone orders were taken and the people who were already sat down were still waiting for drinks then we walked out.... needs more staff or just have a takeaway instead of a restaurant.

My wife and I dined here and had a great meal.The salt and pepper squid was particularly lovely and flavoursome as was the aromatic crispy duck.My king prawns with ginger and spring onions were deveined rounded ones - delicious and not the sometimes 'slimy' type you get in other restaurants.The front of house/serving chap was first class, efficient and had a good sense of humour to match ours. He and another chap from the kitchen ran the show and delivered all the food piping hot to all the customers. The restaurant was full at 8pm.Overall a great experience - we chose well in picking this Chinese restaurant.

Absolutely horrific ! We ordered from here to take away and the gentleman behind the counter was drinking and totally got our order wrong both in quantity and in quality ! When my husband asked him where our prawn crackers were he handed them over after saying ‘we normally charge £3 for these ‘ which is fair enough unless you have already paid ! We ordered beef satay and crispy roast duck .. the beef was in a sweet and sour sauce and the duck was dull and cooked to within a inch of dust , the whole experience has been disgusting! We love the lakes and come here a lot and after the last 18 months we just wanted to relax .. really really upset by the whole service

Good food but the service and staff are woeful... ordered food at 5.00pm for 6.30pm pick up. Waited 30 mins! Was told food gets cooked when client comes to pay! Manager preferred to cancel but we waited whilst he ran around and abused his badly trained staff. Hygiene not high on the list of priorities. Bizarrely the food was quite good but not worth the wait... Best to not eat Chinese food on a Tuesday in Windermere. Better alternative down the road.... sadly it’s not open on a Tuesday!

Seen bad reviews and put them down to bad days, grumpy folk, rivals or folk with bad taste buds. Good service. Delivered food within 10 minutes of ordering just like Chinese food should take. Two main meals were large and me and wife shared a rice and treated selves to yummy salt n pepper chips which came with finely sliced onions, peppers mixed in. Group of 4 near us which included a chap on holiday from Asia took home doggie bag so guess he thought food was good.Also if u want a great breakfast go to Woodlands Guest House in Windermere. As much orange juice tea coffee milk and toast u want to go with your cereal and full English 2 bacon, sausage beans fried or scrambled egg hash brown mushrooms blackpudding also pancakes topped with fruit and sweet sauces cream is on the menu

This is the second bad experience we have had with this Chinese, each time we ordered for a special occasion and there has been multiple issues. We are local but we won't be ordering from here again, the last time we ordered there was so many mistakes we were provided with a 50% discount of our next order. (We normally order from the Magic Wok but they were closed )Each time there has been items missing from the order, meaning we had to go back to the Chinese to collect the missing items or give back the wrong items we had been given. Whilst trying to keep the rest of the food warm so we could sit down together and have our celebratory dinner. The previous owners of this restaurant did amazing food but its now very poor. Bland and not fresh... The satay was like watered down curry sauce, with no spice or chillies (it was classed as spicy on the menu. The chow Mein was like dishwater with noodles in with no taste at all. The curry paste that you can buy and add water from the super market is so much tastier than the one from here. Out of 6 of us we didn't have any good comments on this takeaway, so will be avoiding in the future.

My husband and I dined at Golden Mountain during our stay in Windermere. Having read reviews beforehand we called up to book which we are glad we did as some walk ins whilst we were there had to be turned away as the restaurant was full. We decided to choose one of the banquets which was absolutely delicious - some of the best Chinese food we have had for some time. The restaurant also kindly accommodated my request to swap the chicken sweetcorn soup to hot and sour - both of which were lovely. The drinks were also very reasonably priced. Service also went above and beyond - it started raining whilst we were at the restaurant and having not bought an umbrella with me they kindly dug out an old one a customer had left and let me take it which was really thoughtful. Will definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

Comida deliciosa y el personal es extremadamente amable y tiene un gran sentido del humor.Tuvimos una comida para llevar desde aquí la primera noche de las vacaciones y sentimos que el espaciado de las mesas en el restaurante y las precauciones de covid que habían tomado fueron excelentes. Desafortunadamente, no pudimos hacer una visita de regreso para comer, pero definitivamente los recomendaríamos a otros.

Esta es la segunda vez que hemos estado aquí cuando visitamos los lagos, ya que lo disfrutamos la primera vez en la calle, así que sabíamos que la comida era buena. Si fuera posible, la comida es mejor que la primera vez. Servicio rápido y educado por parte de los camareros. Las bebidas llegaron rápidamente y no esperamos mucho por la comida. La comida estaba tan fresca y caliente. Entre nosotros comimos rollitos de primavera y costillas de sal y pimienta para empezar. Luego comí pato en salsa plomada con arroz frito y mi otra mitad comí el pato chow mein. También compartimos unos chips de sal y pimienta. Todo estaba delicioso y el condimento de sal y pimienta era fuerte, que es como nos gusta. Definitivamente regresaría aquí al menos una vez durante cada visita futura a los lagos y se lo recomendaría a cualquiera. El hecho de que el restaurante estuviera lleno para todas las sesiones y el teléfono para llevar estaba lleno de pedidos lo dice todo en mi opinión. También es excelente para adherirse a las pautas de Covid.

We were turned away from three restaurants in Windermere due to them all being fully booked! We ended up here. What a nice surprise. Fabulous food, and great service.

The place is not much to look at but oh my god the food and service are fantastic. I would highly recommend eating here. The girl who works here is amazing and added to our experience and her singing is something to hear.

Had a lovely meal here, food was good and staff were really friendly and attentive. One staff member went out their way to help teach my partner how to use chopsticks which was really nice. Would definitely go back!

We booked To eat here when we passed in the afternoon and despite two separate people telling us “it’s not good” after booking we still went, expecting the worse! However, we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the banquet for 2 and it was all really nice, the staff were maybe a little inexperienced but learning and really polite and helpful. I don’t think we have anything to complain about and would go again.

We arrived not long after they opened, without having booked, and were lucky to get the last table. The staff were clearly super busy (we heard numerous people being turned away as they had so many bookings) but our order was taken quickly and the food arrived promptly. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly.Both of us very much enjoyed our meal.Would definitely go back, but would advise booking as they are obviously very popular (and rightly so!).

Lovely meal, did absolutely what it said on the tin. Spring rolls were tasty as was the aromatic duck. Boss kept things in order and waiting staff, while a little inexperienced, were keen and friendly. Don’t be afraid to offer chopsticks to everyone! Thanks for a great meal.

I had a takeaway from the Golden Mountain whilst staying in a nearby holiday cottage in Windermere. We were a large group of 12. Ordering over the telephone was easy and collection was within one hour. The food was hot, plentiful and tasty. All my party really enjoyed the takeaway. Price were reasonable. I opted for the Lemon Chicken which was delicious. Recommended.

We called in for a takeaway on sunday night we ordered special chow mein and salt and pepper spare ribs the restaurant was empty so were served quickly and when we opened the chow mein was very nice but when i bit into the spare ribs they were raw in the middle still cold and bloody in middle we were returning home the next day so couldnt complain so beware and check your food is cooked if you eat here.

Me and my girlfriend enjoy going for a chinese when we are at home so will usually visit one while we're away, however this was not great at all.Upon walking into the restaurant we were welcomed warmly and the restaurant itself is quite the average standard of both decor and atmosphere for a chinese restaurant. The service throughout was good but hectic, almost as though there wasn't enough staff on. Onto the food, we selected the set menu A i think and changed a few bits around. The starters we had;chicken satay, prawn crackers and duck, were alright. Onto the mains which were not great at all. The crispy shredded beef had the texture of pastry and was not nice at all. The beef in black bean was bland, chewy and unenjoyable and lastly the chow mein was also quite tasteless and greasy. If it was for the courteous waiters working i would of rated this restaurant below average. The food i tasted that evening wouldn't have surpassed a single star.

Visited this restaurant on 5th January after previous attempts to visit failed due to the time of the year we visited as the previous owners had there annually holidays, after various recommendations from different people I was pleased we managed to get a table on the evening of my birthday, upon arrival me and my wife were in shock as we were the only people in restaurant and to be honest with you the setting didn’t take our breath away and we were in 2 minds to walk back out, however we were escorted to a seat of our choice (there was plenty to choose from)!! We ordered a bottle of Shiraz and a banquet for 2, we were soon given prawn crackers and dip by a helpful lady waiter , after that we had a selection of dishes such as won tons seaweed chicken etc etc , following that we had crispy duck in pancakes, we were highly satisfied with the amount and quality of all the food , the remaining dishes we had to get boxed up as we could not manage anymore at the time and bearing in mind we can both pouch!!!the remainder of the fish we took back we had a bit of each layer and it was fab, pork , steak, 2 rice with prawns, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT,but don’t be put off by first impressions judge it for the quality and quantity of food 10/10

Had the nicest Chinese meal here during our stay. Food arrived quickly, the staff were very very friendly and overall the meal was just delicious and well priced. We had the battered tofu in sweet and sour sauce with all the trimmings and loved every second.

The food was phenomenal and one of the few places that will serve after 9pm and make you feel welcome. We will be coming here again. The mixed starter was as great. The main was great and the service was amazing.

My son turned 16 and it was his choice on dinner options and he chose Chinese takeaway. My husband and I didn’t have high expectations but reviews looked ok so we chose a couple of sweet and sour options, a beef dish and a special chow mein. All four dishes were of a very poor standard. The chow mein was so packed full of low quality meat that we were digging around for a noodle or two. My son could only stomach a few of the prawns in his sweet and sour dish as they were poor in texture and tasteless. I won’t go on.. you get the picture. We won’t be returning :-(

I’m from London so I hate to say this, but this is one of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ever had. I had sweet-and-sour chicken and salt and pepper wings and it was hot and crunchy after collecting it. Took no more than 10 minutes total. 10/10 would recommend. God bless Chinese people.

Best way I can explain this meal is it was like dish water. Worst chinese ive had. Singapore chow mein was soggy and tasteless. Hoisin sauce tasted like vinegar. Prawn crackers were stale. And when I got home my curry sauce wasnt in there. Terrible.
