Golden Orient in Croydon

Found a long hair in my food and had to throw the whole order away. Restaurant offered to replace 1 item but would not refund. If you want hair in your food order from here. The hair was about half a foot long.Just to update 14/03/22 thought I’d give this place another chance. This restaurant will not let you order a starter unless you also order a main which then doubles the price. So if you want only starters you have to order a main for each. Complete con for second rate food.

Food not as good as it used, maybe they have changed chefs, still reasonable price,

Used to be much better.We haven’t ordered from here for a while until tonight, it used to be better. Crispy chilli beef is now more onion with tiny side of beef. The paid for bag of prawn crackers has halved in size and the egg fried rice has no taste.It’s a shame but will go elsewhere from now on

food very good, not traditional but worth the price. pretty delicious! order a main dish, and order rice with it. dont eat delivery at all costs! if the food is fried, high chances it will be soggy. takeaway is 5 stars nonetheless.

Amazing food and it arrived exactly when the app said, almost scary how accurate it was! Don’t be scared of the spicy option on deliveroo tho… small amount of bite but nothing like when you select spicy at a Thai restaurant.

The food was delicious, the Singapore chow mein was great, just the right amount of spice and everything else was lovely too. Great sized portions as well. This is the only place in Purley I'd go for Chinese cuisine.

I would not recommend this restaurant! Our delivery was 30 minutes late and the food was very underwhelming. I ordered fried squid and it was very rubbery and the batter was all soggy.

The wrong order was delivered, food we don't actually eat!We called and was told, nothing we can do! 😡They couldn't give us our money back or deliver our correct food apparently, and said we will get it right next time!Do not order from here!Awful service.

Golden Orient is a local Chinese takeaway, and although the food could be worse, it could be a lot better. The quality of some dishes can widely range between visits, as can the meat to sauce amounts. I think their biggest problem is when it comes to amount of orders. They're consistently late with their deliveries and even on collection orders, simply I think because they take on so many more orders than they can manage. While I was picking up my order (which was ready 30 minutes later than the 30 minutes I'd already been told it would take to be ready) the receptionist took 2 more phone orders. I feel like there needs to be more control over the amount of orders that they can take, which would lead to a lot less complaints I feel. The takeaway is reasonably priced, but I'd suggest ordering very well in advance of you actually wanting to eat to avoid disappointment

Bought it first time from here today and really disappointed with the taste. Dumplings was microwaved, egg fried rice was just boiled rice with scrambled eggs no taste at all my daughter could make it better, chicken with vegetables was tasteless.I normally buy it from another shop on high street thought would give it a try but never again. Portions and service is good but its a shame they missed the important part which is food taste.
