This place is going further and further down the TripAdvisor list, no surprise.The management will no doubt dismiss what I say as they always seem to tho k they are that bit smarter than their customers. If they were, they would learn from and improve, but they wont. So, this is an honest, unbiased truthful review.The restaurant has no ambience whatsoever. The management, who of course lead the staff by example, tho k not in its seems of having vociferous communication with staff whilst there are customers dining, their restaurant, their choice.As has been said many times before, the portions are minute. A serving of hot and sour soup at nearly five pounds which consists of a tasty base stock with strands of bean curd and three peas, nothing else, atrocious. The main course consisting of so little of the main ingredient, meat, covered an area of approx 2 square inches. The food was tasty, absolutely and well cooked. Presentation is average and service is good.No draught beers, I imagine, due to the prohibitive cost of drinks they wouldn't be able to sell enough to justify it. So you have to take bottles at £4 so slightly over a pint = 2 bottles = £8 = extortion.The place is clean but soulless.The management will no doubt say that their attention should have been drawn to any issues on the night. If i had been paying the bill they absolutely would have been addressed, have no doubt.The three times I have been here in the last 18 months I have always been a guest, so I would not be so rude and inconsiderate as to possibly embarrass my hosts. The management will no doubt come back as they always do with the same reasoning, basically implying as I said at the beginning that the customer knows nothing about the food and they are insulted. That's their view.Customers are generally intelligent enough to know when prices are not in line with what they are getting.So, I take no joy in criticizing local businesses but if they refuse to accept that they need to even consider what customers have to say, then that has potentially dire consequences but, as I said their business I'm sure they know best. If you want good food, yes, good service, yes, clean restaurant, yes, value for money, no, reasonable portions, no, reasonable prices, no, unless the aforementioned are addressed.I'm sure the management will be pleased that I will not darken their doorstep again, as I said three visits, three embarrassing disappointment. Finally on each occasion my kind hosts who paid the bills all agreed with my opinions on each occasion, so potentially quite a few people not too impressed who may have come back, shame, but, the management know best, I'm only a customer. A customer who if not happy should be heard and learned from before it is too late. This applies in my business, in this business, in any business. Too many poor reviewsHi Dave, we're honestly disappointed that you deem us only worthy of a 2 star review. As you can see by some of the feedback we have been getting recently and our TripAdvisor certificate of excellence that we have been receiving year on year that the general consensus is otherwise. While it is refreshing for a negative review to acknowledge the quality of our food and service there are naturally a few points we would like to address.Firstly yes we don't have the decor or equipment of some other restaurants in the area but being privately owned we don't have the means to splash £100,000 on refurbishment, we have been in the same premises for 38 years and the building is satisfactory for what we do as our main focuses always have been and always will be the quality of our food and service.£5 for soup we find to be very much in line price wise with other restaurants in the area. The Hot and Sour soup also comes with chicken unless the vegetarian option is ordered, I would also like to reassure you that there are many more ingredients to the Hot and Sour soup than a base stock, which we wok cook to order.Our meat portions for the mains are the equivalent of a large ladle which equates to approx. 4.5oz of meat, so while we are happy that you enjoyed your food we find your description of the portion sizes to be a bit of a stretch.Unfortunately we cannot provide draught beer, as you state due to prohibitive costs of the equipment necessary and inherent running costs. Bottles will naturally always be significantly more expensive per litre to buy than draught which while unfortunate is the same case everywhere, I would like to point out however, not only do we provide bottles of beer cheaper than our premium lager that our prices fall well within the £3.50-£4.50 price bracket of other restaurants in the area.Lastly yes, we are more expensive than other Chinese eateries in the area, mostly due do the quality of the ingredients we use (I for one don't know of any other Chinese restaurants that use fillet steak in their dishes that is specifically bought from Coward's, a renowned local butchers). However when compared to other restaurant venues in the area we are actually comparatively cheap. Our main courses range from £6.40 to £15.30 to dine A La Carte whereas the main gastropub in the next village charges between £10.50 and £22.95 for pub grub with a difference of £8.25 between our fillet steak dishes.We do however respect your criticisms and see it as a shame that you will be no longer dining with us, however it is your prerogative to dine in a venue that more suits your tastes, and hopefully, has draught beer.Best regards,The Yuet Ben team.

I really rate this restaurant although I probably use a little to often, as the staff guess who I am just by my order. Food is always really good and consistent. Delivered hot and on the odd occasion something is wrong or missing, put right straight away. Occasionally you do have a wait on delivery times. (but this is to be expected if your ordering at peak times over a weekend)What more could you ask for! I highly recommend this Takeaway...

Having visited other fast food establishments in the area and found them disappointing. I approached the Golden RIver with trepidation. I need not have worried. The fish and chips are superb and their Chinese dishes equally so. All food seems freshly prepared and not just reheated. A great find and I will definitely be back. Well done to all who work there.

Dined here as part of a group of friends on Saturday evening. Service was first class - friendly, helpful, patient and speedy. The poppadoms were freshened served with 6 delicious accompaniments - including âthe green stuffâ, which I have never encountered anywhere else and is utterly delicious, worth returning for on its own! The main courses dishes, rices, breads and side dishes were all excellent. A thoroughly impressive night in all respects and we will be back soon, Iâm sure.

I love curry, and have probably tried all the places in Widnes, this is the best one locally. Best to book a table ahead of time for weekend times, gets pretty busy. Always enjoy the food, the service is very good as well. The recommended onion bhaji is fantastic too.

Have eaten here numerous times and the food has been amazing. 1st time for having a takeaway and was disappointed. The starter was lukewarm and the main course was slightly warmer- considering it cost no cheaper than eating in the restaurant I do not feel it was value for money.
