"I had eaten here a few times before and the food was good, however last time, I had to chase our orders and the manager came over and started shouting at me and insisted I told him whether he should sack his chef. Really unprofessional. However, last night, I thought we would go back. We arrived and were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and the same manager came over and said Im not sure when you will get your food! We asked what he meant. He said (in a very obnoxious and confrontational tone) We are very busy, what do you want me to do? Go and kick the chef? He started shouting and I simply asked if he could give me a rough idea of how long food would be. He got more angry and was shouting to the point where other diners were looking over. I tried to reason with him and said that we would wait but if he could ask the chef just to give us an idea, that would be great. His tone got even louder and he snatched our menus back from us. He said You better leave and then started on me, bringing up how I complained last time which was over 6 months ago. We were embarrased, astounded and felt so awkward. He ushered us out of the restaurant with everybody watching. We then went to Paprika Club and explained we were in a huge rush. Whilst I am a regular there, the restaurant was packed and they ensured we had a wonderful meal within 20 minutes. Been, you are an awful place and your manager is a joke. We will never return and I would urge others to steer WELL CLEAR!"

"I am writing this review on behalf of my Grandparents, who ordered a meal to accommodate 4 people from this establishment for their 2020 Christmas dinner. When trying to complain, the Manager was abrupt, dismissive, rude and only expressed an interest in the complaint when my Grandmother mentioned that she had taken photos of the food in question. This is a very lengthy review, but I would urge people to read to the end , as my Grandparents have experienced appalling service from the manager of this establishment, and people need to know about this. They ordered paid for 4 meals and starters over the phone. Upon collection of the order, it was clear that the order was incorrect and not up to a satisfactory standard for example the rice orders were wrong (3 fried rice instead of boiled rice some kind of congealed pineapple chicken dish was supplied instead of lemon chicken, the chicken omelette was salty and soggy as it had so much oil in the container, and the chips were very dry and salty. Not worth a penny paid, or worth the trouble my Grandfather took to drive to collect the order . As mentioned above, the manager was very abrupt and dismissive of my Grandmother 's complaint (his initial response being what do you want me to do about that .......Even though he could see this had ruined their Christmas meal (this was supposed to be a rest for my Grandmother who cooks the other 364 days of the year . He was very keen for my Grandmother to throw the food away, she offered numerous times to return it to his establishment, but his reply each time was to throw the food away. When my Grandmother mentioned that she had taken photos, and then went onto mention that she could post the photos on the internet, the manager suddenly changed his tune. After a lengthy phone call, it was agreed that another order could be placed, free of charge for 1st January 2021. My grandmother checked again to see if the manager wanted to see the food as proof he said that he didn 't want to see it, and they agreed that my Grandfather would collect at an agreed time. On 1st January my Grandfather arrived at the agreed time, and nobody answered the door. Eventually somebody answered, and the manager was summoned. He asked to see proof of the original order, and so my Grandfather (bear in mind we are talking about a couple who are in their 70 's went back to his car, got his phone and took it back to show to the manager the photos. The manager 's response being nice photos no food and sent my Grandfather away. In the freezing cold, on New Year 's Day. Utterly disgusting treatment of a formally loyal customer. On the upside, my Grandfather happened to notice that another establishment nearby was open Wok Wok. Even though he hadn 't placed an order with them in advance they very kindly offered to cook his food to order if he didn 't mind waiting. Their food was perfect, their service was second to none and my grandparents are delighted to have found a new Chinese take away that respects and appreciates their custom. So, in the words of my Grandmother goodbye Golden Crown and hello Wok Wok."

"We haven 't been here in quite a while but we were a bit short on time and didn 't want to travel too far for a quick lunch, so made a lunch booking as it was quite nearby. It is such a nice restaurant inside..,, nicely decorated and well laid out. We arrived about 10 mins early and were informed that they weren 't open yet and to wait outside... I explained that we had my very elderly mum who had severe mobility issues and they relented and said we could sit at the entrance until they opened. The staff were pretty helpful after that and even helped mum to our table. We ordered various starters : 1. Chicken sweetcorn soup it was very good thick creamy with plenty of chicken. 2. Chicken noodle soup this didn 't have much chicken it was pretty bland (had to add quite a bit of soy sauce to give it some flavour. 3. The veg spring rolls were not the greatest either they were those tiny wee mini ones again, pretty tasteless and again needing plenty of soy sauce to give some flavour. The mains weren 't the best either : 1. Chicken mushroom pretty tasteless and had more onion than chicken or mushroom.. very disappointing. 2. Breast of Chicken curry it tasted ok except it wasn 't a breast of chicken, it was cubes of chicken. 3. Beef curry ... the beef was a bit chewy and certainly, nowhere as nice as I have had here previously. We all had fried rice and this was the worst part of the meal very bland, quite mushy and over cooked... we found a hair in one portion. We quietly pointed this out to the staff when they were clearing the table... but they didn 't seem very interested.... just nodded and continued to clear the table. A bald chap (I believe may have been the manager and/or chef) came over lent over the back of the booth we were sitting at and very quietly said (whispered) that he had been told we had found a hair in one of the portions of rice and we acknowledged that this was the case... at which point he just said, we 'll obviously it wasn 't from me whilst pointing to his bald head. A bit taken aback by this, we just agreed and asked for the bill. So disappointing for what was a pretty good restaurant."
