It's changed hands. We just spent nearly £40 and it's all soggy and tasteless crap. What a waste of money!! This is not the same people running it. Absolutely discusting

We have been using this Chinese for a long time now. Unfortunately it got taken over in December. We have ordered 3 times to give it the benefit of the doubt! Tonight was definitely the worst! We asked for crispy beef with no veg, it was full of more onion than beef and carrot. The chow mein was stodgy,over cooked with 3 pieces of chicken, we had to add loads of soy sauce just for some flavour. Crispy seaweed was ok but no salt and sugar (or if there was it wasn’t noticeable) the prawn crackers were even tasteless! So if I’d like a plate of stodge I would have soup. Never again. Awful food and the lady I spoke to didn’t care anyway 🤣

This is usually our go-to Chinese and 9 times out of 10 is delicious but since New Year the food hasn’t been the same, food came within 20 mins of ordering online but was very bland and the “kung po” chicken was just chicken marinated in sweet chilli sauce, no soy sauce taste, not savoury at all, barely any duck in the spring rolls.. appears they must have changed chefs/management and reviews are now more negative than positive, save your money and find another Chinese takeaway to buy from!! Saddening…

Been getting our Chinese from here for at least 15 years. But it's obviously changed hands or they have changed chef. This is no longer good. Poor quality ingredients and poor flavour such a shame. Photo below of the ribs are now just small chunks. Ordered twice over tbe last few weeks and its got worse each time. Such a waste of money. We will now be looking for a new take away

Been ordering from here for about 15 years and has been fantastic. Now terrible. It must have changed hands or at the very least, a new chef. Such a shame. Ordered 3 times in last 3 or 4 weeks. Quality of ingredients has changed, the ribs now being just little boney bits to pepper beef just being mush! Now looking for a new Chinese takeaway. We won't be ordering from here again.

Terrible! Used to be amazing but not any more. I am 99% sure that they have changed owners. Definitely won't be ordering from here again. Very dissopinted.

I've used this Chinese for over 10 years, I made my last order a week ago the chicken curry was so bland tasteless , I was hoping that the owners were on holiday I'll be going elsewhere now I'm gutted to read it's under new management

Under new management, chow mein very dry, no sauce and no flavour. Have to keep adding salt just to make it edible. Prawn crackers are stale too. And king prawn balls seems smaller. This is a shame as we had been looking forward to this all day.

Used to be our favourite but unfortunately the last 3 orders have just got worse each time. Portions are way smaller, pretty sure the food had been microwaved, extremely stodgy and tasted weird. Such a shame as they are super friendly and it used to be delicious and decent portion sizes. Very disappointed

Birthday takeaway treat tonight! So disappointed. The food was tasteless and slightly burnt, and I had random pieces of meat in my egg fried rice. The only decent thing we had delivered tonight was the chips!! This had been our go-to Chinese for years. Now they are under new management, and we are on the hunt for another chinese takeaway in the area Previous review added 4 months prior to update: 4 stars We always have our Chinese from Golden Express. However, our only issue is that delivery is always at least an hour!

Ordered from here as our usual place was closed,although a lot of the reviews we read prior to ordering were really good we found the food was disappointing ,the pricing of the food was far cheaper then our usual place which was a positive but that price reflected the food. Food was on time and hot and definitely with some more attention could be a good Chinese. 5/10

Would have been 5stars as the food is good and cheap and been using them for 10+ years had them 3x in last month however tonight I place £75 order which was accepted over 2hours! Later I heard nothing I call and be told its now cooking. I question this and say to cancel I now have to wait for the refund. I even said how much longer would we wait and he said they can't do it tonight. So made a whole family with multiple kidds here wait 2hours to be told your not getting food disgusting am shocked.

Our first time from this place, it's not too far from us. It took a while to arrive and when it did the driver was apologetic about a mess in the bag and arranged a replacement. We enjoyed the food. It was tasty, crunchy, spicy, and aromatic. We will buy our next Chinese from here.

Best Chinese food I've ever had. We come from London and tried them there, then moved to ipswich and tried all the different ones here. Golden express is way out in front. Can't recommend enough. We have been using them for years now and wouldn't go any where else. Try once and guarantee you won't be disappointed. Only trouble is when we keep recommending to people we now have to wait longer to get our food

Chinese is one of my favourite dinners to have out and I have to say after 2 mouthfuls I couldn't eat the food on my plate. The rice was bone dry and had no flavour and the meat was so chewy and no flavour. Out of the whole meal the only thing I enjoyed was the chocolate cake. Waste of money.

Try the house special curry, amazing flavours. If you ask for it spicy hot you get it, they don't just lob in some chillies which is what most of them do. BBQ spare ribs make a lovely side.

New Year’s Eve and day ruined thanks to reheated, dry, tasteless food, all 6 of us were up all night in the bathroom and so far most of today. Avoid if your stomach can’t handle poor reheated food.

“I absolutely love the communal seating on benches—it adds such an authentic and inviting touch. The staff are incredible, always warm and friendly, which makes the experience even better. The food is consistently flawless, prepared to perfection, and arrives quickly at your bench. I’d recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine—hands down better than Wagamama!”

Don't like doing negative reviews but I was really excited for this restaurant. Service was very slow and we was constantly being asked. Is that all you want? I felt like I didn't eat enough maybe? For me food wasn't overly hot like they were doing it in massive batches and The taste wasn't amazing! Like I expected.
