Highly recommend for authentic and tasty Hunanese food. The owner was great and very helpful in recommending dishes on the menu, all of which were delicious. The portions were generous while the restaurant was great value at £25 per head for five people (having seven dishes in total and two beers each). Overall, great place and food!
One of the best Sichuan spicy food you could try in Sheffield. And staff are all nice and friendly! My favorite! Parking roadside available around the area!
A Culinary Masterpiece at Golden Taste – A True Hidden Gem on London Road, Sheffield If there were ever a restaurant that could transport you straight to the bustling food streets of China through sheer culinary brilliance, it would be Golden Taste on London Road, Sheffield. Tucked away among the city’s diverse dining spots, this unassuming gem delivers an authentic, soul-stirring Chinese dining experience that rivals even the finest establishments in Beijing, Shanghai, or Chengdu.

The staff exude genuine hospitality, ensuring every guest feels like a valued regular, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. But while the service is impeccable, it’s the food that truly steals the show. The Best Sweet and Sour Pork in the World? Believe It! Golden Taste’s sweet and sour pork is, without exaggeration, a revelation. Each bite is a perfect balance of crispy, golden-battered pork, coated in a luscious, tangy-sweet sauce that bursts with layers of flavor. The pork is juicy and tender, while the sauce—expertly balanced between the right amount of sweetness and acidity—elevates the dish to perfection. This is not the cloyingly sweet, fluorescent-red version found in lesser establishments; this is the real deal, crafted with skill and authenticity. A Feast for the Senses Beyond the sweet and sour pork, every dish we tried was executed to perfection. - Dumplings: Delicate, handmade pockets of joy, bursting with rich, juicy fillings. Whether steamed or pan-fried, they were absolute perfection—the kind that instantly transports you to a dim sum house in Guangzhou. - Prawns: Fresh, succulent, and cooked to retain their natural sweetness. They were coated in a lightly crisp batter and served with a delectable sauce that complemented without overpowering their delicate taste. - Szechuan Chicken: A spicy, aromatic masterpiece. The heat from the Szechuan peppercorns delivered that addictive, numbing sensation, while the balance of garlic, ginger, and chili created an explosion of flavors. If you love authentic Szechuan cuisine, this dish is a must-try. An Unmissable Dining Experience Golden Taste is more than just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of Chinese cuisine at its finest. Every dish is crafted with precision, passion, and authenticity, making it an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates high-quality, flavorful Chinese food.

Whether you're a long-time lover of Chinese food or new to the cuisine, this restaurant will leave you utterly amazed. We came in expecting a good meal; we left convinced we had just experienced one of the best Chinese feasts in the UK. 5 STARS – A Sheffield treasure!
Very nice, flavoursome food. Particularly liked the spicy vegetable hot pot and the sauteed crab in hot spicy sauce. The servers were very helpful and I really loved the Chinese decorations. However the green onion pancakes were a little too soggy in my opinion. Overall had a great experience here and would definitely recommend.
First time here and I’m very surprised that the hotpot is so good and there are many options to choose from. The crab is big and tasty. Soup base are authentic without artificial ingredients. The service is good and no time pressure. I’d highly recommend people to try it out. I’ll definitely come back again.
Most genuine food and hosts. We had shrimps and seafood done three ways following the owner's suggestions and didn't regret it!
This is the worst Chinese ever, the server me clogged up rice which was frozen from previous day. It was soggy and sour. The salt and pepper spare ribs were basically flour and butter on bone. There was certainly no way the ribs were pork ribs. The lady attendant was rude and disrespectful. This is despite, returning the food. I strongly believe if food inspectors paid them an unannounced visit there would be a barrage of issues to be found. My little advise, stay far away from this establishment for your own health benefit. The picture actually makes it look good.
小龙虾太好吃 the hotpot was so good as well. The ingredients not as good as hai di lao but the base comes with huge chunks of lamb inside, omg is it definitely worth the money!! Would come back again.
Would definitely recommend! Really tasty, authentic food, reasonably priced, massive portion sizes, ordered way too much. Crispy duck pancakes were amazing, king prawn fried rice had so many prawns!
