Visitor Testimonials (404)

I had a fish and chips special meal. The portion was a bit small for the price I paid for (compared to other takeaways I've been to). But overall, the food was cooked well and it tasted great.

It is a takeaway bar not a sit down venue. Our Regular fast food favorite for some fifty years. Good quality Rice and Veg dishes. Plus fish and plentiful chips offered. Always ring in advance for food orders and never disappointed. Hope to enjoy for many more years.

Amazing food run by a family owned business. Best Chinese takeaways on the shore

Best potato fritters by far. Standard scoop of chips was a good serve and delicious crunchy chips. Look forward to trying the fish and Chinese menu also.

A hidden gem in birkdale. The taste of the fry rice was so great and only $16. That’s exactly what people want. The owner couples are very friendly, the rest is very busy at lunch time. Thanks so much, we don’t come here often but if we can we will be back!

Our family love Golden Ye. Best fish’n’chips ever. Always decent serving sizes AND their burgers are awesome! Staff are friendly & always working hard in the kitchen while also managing to execute great customer service. They always answer their phone. It’s our regular Friday night takeaway shop.
