Golden Dragon

"Salt and pepper chips are just chips over salted with onions, no pepper in sight!"

"I generally only have a special curry and to be honest I've had better. That said it's a varied menu and my food review reflects more on me than them. Very clean and good service. You pay your money and make your choice."

"Been going here for quite some time, and I have to say I've been impressed..... till tonight Tuesday 16th August, my partner went in for a chicken chow mien which I've struggled to fined a good one in this area since I moved here in 2015, but the Golden Dragon surprised me when we bought the first chicken chow mien, it was wonderful it had the smoky flavour and the chicken was in long stripes like it had just been taken off the roasted brest it was that good I ate the whole lot, which I don't normally do. Back to tonight on opening the container it had no colour at all,there was pale chunks of chicken that looked like they had been reformed and boiled, the onions were slimy and pale, same for the beansprouts, it was nothing like a chow mien that I've had from there in the past, the noodles were on the bottom of the container not mixed in the way a normal or previous chow miens from here have been, now I've watch how to make a chow mien on many cooking shows with Chines cooks and everything goes into the wok, and is cooked/fried together, not just the noodles everything is mixed up in the wok at a high heat so you get the smoky tast that comes from the wok. This was horrible the chicken look and was slimy along with onions and beansprouts I tried to eat the noodles, onions and beansprouts leaving all the rest along with the chicken to my partner, I couldn't even eat the small amount as there was no flavour at all, now my partner is the type of guy that will eat anything, I add mitt I'm more fussy, but when my partner eats very little and says he's had enough then you know there is something wrong. The chicken chow mien we had to night unfortunately is exactly how every other Chinese takeaway in Pontefract and surrounding area seem to cook the chow mien I've no idea why this has changed, but something has most definitely changed and not for the good sadly. Will we order from the Golden Dragin again, I'm not sure to be honest. I realise in these times of economic problems things are difficult but I would rather pay a little more and get good food than what we got served up tonight"
