Gold River - Filey

Fantastic food!!! Really fresh and well cooked. Good attention to detail. Very friendly host. This restaurant is a hidden gem.

I first visited this restaurant in 2014 and it was excellent. However, I believe it underwent changes about 2 years ago. I recently ordered the sweet and sour chicken and found it to be overly vinegary. Despite giving them the benefit of the doubt and trying other dishes, the sweet and sour still tasted like vinegar. It is disappointing to see the decline in quality after enjoying their food for so long.

I recently tried the egg fried rice from this restaurant, and it was absolutely terrible. It was cold, mushy, and had no resemblance of actual rice. It was the most disgusting egg fried rice I have ever tasted.

I ended up at this restaurant because my usual Chinese spot was closed. I had high expectations for the quality of food given the price. However, the rice was clumpy, greasy, and had a terrible texture. The salt and pepper chicken starter was disappointing as well, with small pieces of dry, flavorless chicken. The only flavor seemed to come from the oil at the bottom of the dish. Overall, there were only 8 small chunks of chicken in the container, with the rest filled with vegetables. The service was fast but not very friendly, with the woman at the cash register being unwelcoming and speaking in a sharp tone. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Awful take away! Egg fried rice was inedible, curry was congealed and stuck together! The chow was the worst I’ve ever had. The only thing we enjoyed was the seaweed.
