Golden Fortune - South Lakeland

My wife and I visited this restaurant during our trip to the Lakes for a few days, and we opted for the £28 per person banquet. Initially, we were not impressed after trying the bland chicken and sweetcorn soup, but we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious starters and aromatic duck. The special sweet and sour dish and sweet and sour chicken that followed were also very tasty. In the end, we were happy that we decided to dine here, and the service was excellent.

I have been passing by this restaurant every week for years and have always wanted to try it. I finally had the chance to enjoy it with friends. The staff was helpful and friendly. When I requested a few extra vegetables, they had no problem accommodating my request. The food was served piping hot and was delicious, with generous portions. The banana fritters were also delicious. I am so happy I made a reservation and will definitely be returning.

Sat 10 mins waiting for a table without being asked if we would like a drink. 10 mins waiting to give our order. Dishes came 10 minutes apart. Ie, chicken came then 10 mins later my rice came. The prawns were off. Food tasteless and bland. Worst chinese I've ever had and I've had many. Avoid at all costs, and save your money.

The Chinese restaurant is very good, the service is very good and the food is so fresh and delicious to eat, The staff are friendly and welcoming and they remember you which is impressive The best Chinese in the local area by far.

My boyfriend and I ordered 2 salt and pepper chicken dishes, 2 salt and pepper chips, one egg fried rice, and one veggie spring roll at the restaurant. The total came to £37, which we found to be quite expensive. When we got home, we realized that the chicken and chips barely filled half of the container, with most of it being vegetables. The rice and spring rolls were tasty, but the chicken and chips had a smoky flavor and lacked any salt and pepper taste. Overall, we felt the portions were too small, the prices too high, and the food not that great.
