A good meal in comfortable and pleasant surroundings. Popped in for lunch and despite being busy the staff were calm, polite and welcoming. Lunchtime menu is a choice from the a la carte or a buffet lunch at £6.40 or the three course lunch at £6.85. The buffet and lunch special represent excellent value for money. The quality and presentation... More

Vast improvement on the interior and the staff are excellent - very welcoming & friendly. Food was a bit of a disppointment - beef with black bean sauce did not have the black bean flavour - whilst it looked good it was totally bland & beef was chewy. The chicken curry was just ok - cooked chicken thrown into sauce... More

One of Northern Ireland’s oldest established Chinese Restaurants, The Go-Sun Restaurant is still owned and managed by the very reputable Sung family (Est 1966). Recently renovated, this warm and friendly restaurant is still a family favourite in Mid-Antrim. The choice of food is perfect… not too overwhelming, presentation excellent, quality of food, superb. The proprietor meets everyone at the door... More

Well my lifetime anyway! It used to be the family restaurant of choice when I was a boy. I wonder do they still serve that yellow ice-cream in little stainless steal bowls. As good as any other Chinese restaurant

This establishment just about full fills the the meaning of the word Restaurant, tables, chairs, an attempt at cooking, and shelter from the early summer rains. We sampled the self service buffet from the back room. The food was freshly cooked but had over tones of convenience stamped all over the dishes. Strong and rough flavours on the curries, Starchy...
