Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good food and friendly attentive staff

Sept 2020 • couples

Had a lovely meal here, food was good and staff were really friendly and attentive. One staff member went out their way to help teach my partner how to use chopsticks which was really nice. Would definitely go back!

Fabulous food & service

Oct 2020 • couples

My husband and I dined at Golden Mountain during our stay in Windermere. Having read reviews beforehand we called up to book which we are glad we did as some walk ins whilst we were there had to be turned away as the restaurant was full. We decided to choose one of the banquets which was absolutely delicious - some of the best Chinese food we have had for some time. The restaurant also kindly accommodated my request to swap the chicken sweetcorn soup to hot and sour - both of which were lovely. The drinks were also very reasonably priced. Service also went above and beyond - it started raining whilst we were at the restaurant and having not bought an umbrella with me they kindly dug out an old one a customer had left and let me take it which was really thoughtful. Will definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

Good Chinese Food

Nov 2020 • couples

Seen bad reviews and put them down to bad days, grumpy folk, rivals or folk with bad taste buds. Good service. Delivered food within 10 minutes of ordering just like Chinese food should take. Two main meals were large and me and wife shared a rice and treated selves to yummy salt n pepper chips which came with finely sliced onions, peppers mixed in. Group of 4 near us which included a chap on holiday from Asia took home doggie bag so guess he thought food was good. Also if u want a great breakfast go to Woodlands Guest House in Windermere. As much orange juice tea coffee milk and toast u want to go with your cereal and full English 2 bacon, sausage beans fried or scrambled egg hash brown mushrooms blackpudding also pancakes topped with fruit and sweet sauces cream is on the menu

Sub standard Chinese meal.

Jan 2020 • none

Me and my girlfriend enjoy going for a chinese when we are at home so will usually visit one while we're away, however this was not great at all. Upon walking into the restaurant we were welcomed warmly and the restaurant itself is quite the average standard of both decor and atmosphere for a chinese restaurant. The service throughout was good but hectic, almost as though there wasn't enough staff on. Onto the food, we selected the set menu A i think and changed a few bits around. The starters we had;chicken satay, prawn crackers and duck, were alright. Onto the mains which were not great at all. The crispy shredded beef had the texture of pastry and was not nice at all. The beef in black bean was bland, chewy and unenjoyable and lastly the chow mein was also quite tasteless and greasy. If it was for the courteous waiters working i would of rated this restaurant below average. The food i tasted that evening wouldn't have surpassed a single star.

Enjoyable meal socially distanced

Oct 2020 • couples

We made a booking at golden Mountain, arrived at allotted time, and were shown to our table, don't know about any track and trace, as wasn't asked for any info. Chose the set meal b. At £17pp the spice soup was absolutely delicious, followed by duck wraps, also delicious. The mains were peppered beef great taste, and chicken szewan which wasn't as spicy heat wise, but a little bland. No prawn crackers, but arrived at the end of the meal. The staff are friendly and polite, good service, good food.

Won't be going again!

Oct 2020 • none

This is the second bad experience we have had with this Chinese, each time we ordered for a special occasion and there has been multiple issues. We are local but we won't be ordering from here again, the last time we ordered there was so many mistakes we were provided with a 50% discount of our next order. (We normally order from the Magic Wok but they were closed ) Each time there has been items missing from the order, meaning we had to go back to the Chinese to collect the missing items or give back the wrong items we had been given. Whilst trying to keep the rest of the food warm so we could sit down together and have our celebratory dinner. The previous owners of this restaurant did amazing food but its now very poor. Bland and not fresh... The satay was like watered down curry sauce, with no spice or chillies (it was classed as spicy on the menu. The chow Mein was like dishwater with noodles in with no taste at all. The curry paste that you can buy and add water from the super market is so much tastier than the one from here. Out of 6 of us we didn't have any good comments on this takeaway, so will be avoiding in the future.

Absolutely horrific ! We

Jul 2021 • none

Absolutely horrific ! We ordered from here to take away and the gentleman behind the counter was drinking and totally got our order wrong both in quantity and in quality ! When my husband asked him where our prawn crackers were he handed them over after saying ‘we normally charge £3 for these ‘ which is fair enough unless you have already paid ! We ordered beef satay and crispy roast duck .. the beef was in a sweet and sour sauce and the duck was dull and cooked to within a inch of dust , the whole experience has been disgusting! We love the lakes and come here a lot and after the last 18 months we just wanted to relax .. really really upset by the whole service

This is the 2nd time we've been here when visiting the lakes as we enjoyed it the 1st time so knew the food was good. If it were possible, the food is better than the first time. Prompt and polite service from the waiting staff. Drinks came quickly and we weren't waiting long for food. The food was so fresh and piping hot. Between us we had spring rolls and salt and pepper ribs for starters. Then i had duck in plumb sauce with fried rice and my other half had the duck chow mein. We also shared some salt and pepper chips. Everything was delicious and the salt and pepper seasoning was strong which is how we like it. Would definitely return here at least once during each future visit to the lakes and recommend it to anyone. The fact the restaurant was fully booked for all sittings and the takeaway phone was rammed with orders says it all in my opinion. Also excellent at adhering to Covid guidelines.

Fantastic!

Nov 2020 • family

I live in Bowness and have always got my Chinese there. During shutdown tried the Golden Mountain and will never go to Bowness ones again! We had crispy duck pancakes, special fried rice, lemon chicken and beef in black bean. All absolutely delicious. Maybe slightly more expensive than some others there around, but definitely worth the extra! Very quick service, and all freshly cooked.

Lovely meal!

Sept 2020 • none

We arrived not long after they opened, without having booked, and were lucky to get the last table. The staff were clearly super busy (we heard numerous people being turned away as they had so many bookings) but our order was taken quickly and the food arrived promptly. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly. Both of us very much enjoyed our meal. Would definitely go back, but would advise booking as they are obviously very popular (and rightly so!).

Unexpected gem

Oct 2021 • family

We visited as a family with two children under 6, restaurant is small and I'd advise booking to avoid disappointment. Manger / Owner was very friendly and made us all feel welcome throughout. Food was very good and reasonably priced, service was good and toilets were clean. Mixed starter was awesome and I'd highly recommend it! Thanks for a nice evening meal.

Try it and decide! Alternative down the road!

Dec 2020 • couples

Good food but the service and staff are woeful... ordered food at 5.00pm for 6.30pm pick up. Waited 30 mins! Was told food gets cooked when client comes to pay! Manager preferred to cancel but we waited whilst he ran around and abused his badly trained staff. Hygiene not high on the list of priorities. Bizarrely the food was quite good but not worth the wait... Best to not eat Chinese food on a Tuesday in Windermere. Better alternative down the road.... sadly it’s not open on a Tuesday!

Lovely food

Sept 2021 • none

Ordered a takeaway for 5 people. We ordered our food and it was ready for us when we returned. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and efficient as the restaurant looked busy, he answered our queries and offered to make changes for us. Our food was hot and delicious especially the special fried rice which was really fresh and tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed meal.

Second Visit 8 years apart

Jul 2021 • family

Back here after being away for 8 years. We were told by locals that the restaurant had recently changed management but it didnt put us off. It's a cheap and cheerful place and the food tastes great. The set menu didnt give as much choice this time round. It would have been nice to have been able to choose the main courses. We ended up ordering from the menu and it was still great value for money. We would come back

Excellent Food and Service

Nov 2021 • none

My wife and I dined here and had a great meal. The salt and pepper squid was particularly lovely and flavoursome as was the aromatic crispy duck. My king prawns with ginger and spring onions were deveined rounded ones - delicious and not the sometimes 'slimy' type you get in other restaurants. The front of house/serving chap was first class, efficient and had a good sense of humour to match ours. He and another chap from the kitchen ran the show and delivered all the food piping hot to all the customers. The restaurant was full at 8pm. Overall a great experience - we chose well in picking this Chinese restaurant.
