Popping in to see Katie at the Golden Rice is always a treat. You are greeted by a warm smile, and once you have placed your order, you can then marvel at her amazing multitasking skills. I have seen that lady, take a call, note down an order, and work out the price, all while wrapping the food that has come out of the hatch behind her. Between these times, she's always up for a pleasant chat while you wait for your takeaway. She's awesome! The food from here has always been delicious and reasonably priced, which is why it has now been my regular Chinese takeaway for years and the go to place after every haircut session in Hexham to finish off my evening. Please note its cash only, but that is hardly a problem as there are a number of ATMs close by.
Like, bloody yum! Food here is absolutely delicious. Chap who runs the kitchen is dead friendly. Portions are a rather on the small side but I think they're going for quality over quantity. Would be nice if the carton was full but jeez... bloody nice! Try the salt & pepper squid, beautiful.
Surpassed expectations. Comfy bench in the waiting area. Had curry with soft noodles, and vegetarian curry with chips. Generous portions, great prices, fast and friendly service. Highly recommended!
Lovely food, great service, very friendly, would recommend.
I tend to go for the sweet and sour chicken or the shredded peeking chicken with egg fried rich. Which are my favourites. So, it guaranteed tasty delicious food each time! And Katie is the best! Lovely lady. She's always cheerful, no matter the weather (sort of speaking)
The food was gorgeous and the service fantastic, they don't deliver which is unfortunate but regardless of that minor detail we'll definitely be making this our go-to takeaway for Chinese food 5*
Food is fantastic from here and the service is always impeccable, if I could give more stars I would!
Prices are well worth it, great portion size and excellent taste. If you're looking for something quick and well priced get the sauce in chips & rice. Small is 2.60 (still a great price, more than enough for one person) large is 3.60 I believe and is enough for two.
Great food every time. Friendly staff and orders are always made up very efficiently
Unmatched, top quality food and service! I would drive up the entire UK for this takeaway if I had to. This place has the best curry and gravy sauces. Katy’s also always cheerful and accommodating with our orders, Jimmy’s a top bloke. The decor is also modern and welcoming.
Personal recommendations for dishes:
- Cantonese Shredded Beef
- Salt and Chilli Chicken
- Chicken Curry
- House Special Fried Rice/Chowmein
- and a portion of chips and curry/gravy is a MUST
Best Chinese take away I’ve had, lady at the front is so sweet and has been quick while I wait!
This is my favourite Chinese Takeaway in the country (obviously I've not been to all of them....). Always look forward to a meal from the GR when I'm visiting me Mam I Hexham. Great food. Friendly staff. Love it!
Had to wait a bit longer for my order to be ready.. a lady on the line said.. don't worry, it is worth the wait.. she was absolutely right.. as far as Chinese takeaways go.. this is the best.. i've ever had.. 👍
Top class takeaway! Very cheerful, courteous staff. And, very importantly, excellent food! Highly recommended.
