Normally for us the Go Sun is the go to Chinese Restaurant in Ballymena. Never had a bad meal in it. Last night however, we deicded following a visit to the cinema, to just get a small takeaway for myself. I had a cream of chicken soup and a small sliced chicken, fried rice and curry sauce. After getting home I found them to be absolutely awful. The cream of chicken soup which is normally gorgeous tasted like it was made with vinegar and i couldn't more than two mouthfulls (the second was just to make sure I wasnt imagining it). The chicken in the other dish was nice enough but the fried rice was stodgy and tasteless. I will go to the Go Sun again to make sure it was just a one off, but one more chance will be all it gets. Update: Last Saturday night we finally had a chance to revisit the Go Sun, this time for a sit in. The place was pretty busy as there seemed to be a couple of parties in. Nevertheless the staff who are alway pleasant and efficient managed to get us a table for two. Was it any better than our previous meal? Unfortunately not. I am not sure what has happened with the GoSun but the quality of food has seriously gone down hill. I had the Chicken soup as a starter and whereas the last time it tasted like vinegar this time it was so sweet i thought there was a bag of sugar in it. My wife had the spare ribs which although they looked nice when they arrived, where very tough when trying to eat them. My wife for her main had the special fried rice which was very stodgy and she could only manage a half plate before giving up. I had the Sweet and Sour Hong Kong style with fried rice and if anything mine was worse than my wifes. Rice was again very stodgy and the chicken was so tough that it was a struggle to get a knife through it. I am afraid that this was the second and last chance with the GoSun. It has gone fromt he go to place to have a chinese in Ballymena to a poor reflection of what it was with the same high prices. My only surprise is why so many still go there.

Just ate the worst meal ever. Special fried rice, without the fried rice basically. Stodgy boiled rice and you could've literally counted the grains,there was so little of it. Full of vegetables,in a single carton, barely any thing else. The Peking ribs tasted nothing like it, very sharp taste of vinegar, practically no meat just fat.Basic spring rolls,no flavour, literally bland. Nothing nice about any of this food.The only positive was the lady that served is was very nice.

Had a takeaway meal one evening. My wife and I were very sick that night and my wife for two days afterwards and me for one week. I blamed the prawns which I ate all of and my wife had very little of. That was the second time I didn’t feel good after a meal, so never again will I darken their door.

Took over an hour and a half to be delivered, chips were soggy and Luke warm, bbq chicken with bean sprouts was awful, chicken was like cardboard, no bbq sauce, and stone cold. Tried ringing but kept getting voicemail.

A regular customer who is regularly let down when receiving the wrong order. I don't live close so unabld to return order when not right. Two young boys take the orders. They are more interested in their phones than customer service. To night I got prawn and mushroom and BBS instead of beef. A few weeks ago my order was wrong as well. Disappointing that no one can check orders before they are sent out. I like the food but regular errors make me wonder if it's worth it.

TAKE AWAY I had placed an order yesterday at 6.21pm for 5 portions of salted chilli chicken and chips, 2 tubs sweet & sour sauce and 2 tubs curry sauce. The meals were inedible…..we’ve been customers of yours for years and never had a bad meal. The chips were really greasy and soggy and the salted chilli was so greasy. Very disappointing but to make matters worse, when I phoned to complain I was told as it was so long since ordering there was nothing you cud do and that I should have brought the meal back for a replacement. I live 8.5 miles away(17mile trip) from ur take away. Could you expect me to travel this distance? That’s not reasonable. Also we had friends visiting and it would not have been appropriate to phone while they were with us. I phoned as soon as they left. This appalling customer service has left us questioning whether we will ever be back in Happy Villa and we will definitely not be recommending you to anyone. worst customer service ever.
