Golden Chopsticks Chinese Take Away

First time to visit Middlesbrough for work, found this shop closed to Holiday Inn. I ordered Chicken sweetcorn soup, House special fried rice, and King Prawns with spring onions and gingers. I requested not have any MSG and not too salty for my orders. Guess what? Turned out no taste for the soup and the King Prawn dish (at least I got the taste of gingers . Fried rice was good taste with the gravy supplied, the overall portions of everything was decent and value for the price. My advice, no MSG for sure but okay with the salt, pepper and sugar.

Don't get me wrong the food is nice but it takes over 300 call attempts to get through and then delivery takes 2 hours plus when they quote an hour and a half. They used to be spot on but after getting so popular during covid the service has really gone downhill. We will be going elsewhere in future. Shocking.

I came here today with my partner and mother in law. We opted to have the £10 economy plates, which is where you get a main dish along with a rice or noodles, 2 starters and a drink of either tea, coffee or a soft drink. You also get a jug of curry sauce and sweet and sour sauce served too. I chose to have bean sprout noodles with char shiu pork in black bean, prawn toast and spring rolls. My mother in law had sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style, egg fried rice, prawn toast and spring rolls. And my partner had char shiu pork chop suey, bean sprout noodles, prawn toast and spring rolls. We all immensely enjoyed our food. My mother in law could only eat half of hers, so my partner and I finished it off for her. We couldn't bare to waste such good food! We only moved up to Stockton in July 2022, and this was our first trip out to a restaurant. It was well worth the wait, and I can't wait to go again. We will definitely have the economy plate again, because it's such good value, but I can't wait to try the buffet at some point!

Left a honest review on their Facebook page and I was met with with much hostility. And harassment on messenger chat in which I had to block the owner from messaging me. So I'll just reiterate what I said on that review. I mentioned that I thought the owner was rude in the way he spoke to us as customers. The food was below average. And as I walked round the back there was so much rubbish and they leave there kitchen back door constantly opening which could (and probably does) let anything in. I would not recommend dining here.

Fantastic food, big portion and very good value for money! Very friendly helpful staff! Highly recommend visiting if you are in the area, I'll definitely return again!
