If you’re looking for a tasty, authentic Chinese takeaway, I highly recommend Golden Fish Bar

Customer service was second to none, very friendly. Good price paid for sausage and chips. Food was brought to our table where we was waiting to take away. Would definitely recommend this fish bar. Would of liked a bit more vinegar on my chips couldn't really taste it, but other than that a good visit

We placed a massive order in advance. Service was prompt and friendly. Fish and chips were unbelievably delicious. Crispy chips. Succulent fish. Nice batter.

Lovely Chinese food, However sometimes the food is only warm not hot. The prices are expensive compared to the other Chinese in town. The fish and chip side is not my thing. It was nicer when Wendy owned it and ran the kitchen. However its a decent Takeaway when its hot.

I've been going to Golden Fish Bar in Sax for over 10 years now and they've never given me a bad meal. The food is consistently fresh, tasty, and generously portioned. Every time I’ve asked for extra spicy, they’ve delivered — no fuss, no extra charge. And even when I haven't spent over £10, they still throw in extra prawn crackers, which says a lot about their generosity and appreciation for regular customers. It’s rare to find a place that gets it right every single time. -Rowan
