Golden Lily

Very good overall. Sweet n sour chicken balls, spare ribs and boiled rice very tasty, decent sized portions, with obviously fresh and crunchy vegetables. Good value and courteously served. No website and cash only a slight hindrance, but waiting time only 12min, and nearby on street parking ok after six pm. Recommended.

The place uses jar sauce watered down as much as possibleThe kid on the front taking orders has the attitude of a small ratThey serve the worst food in paington had to return the food due to it being nowere near what is real foodOrder also arrived cold and ribs were just bones in a watered down sause.... Response was oh well its fast food.Rancid people

We've been searching for 4 years in the Bay to find a great Chinese...non have ever been close , until the other night when I discovered this excellent Chinese when my usual not so great Chinese" I use to go to didn't answer their phone. My gain!!! As I discovered the Golden Lilly instead! Ordered twice in one week.The prawn crackers are light

So I ordered was told 10-15 minutes arrived at 15 minutes and was told come back in 10... Came back in 10 to not even be acknowledged by staff upon my return to stand around and wait for another 10 minutes!!!So in total 35 minutes for your 10-15....The special fried rice was a very light coloured rice which well I'm used to dark but everyone is different it was absolutely tasteless a bland rice topped with chewy slimy meat that actually made me gag so went back in the tub... The prawns popped as you bit into them really not a good start and noticing the chicken throughout the rice was grey in colour is not advertising...BBQ sauce to top which was pink didn't have a bad taste it would have to have a taste to begin with to be bad and this had none...Sweet n sour sauce was glue like honestly that's the only way I can describe it and again no taste what so ever... I was hoping to cover the tasteless rice with something but apparently not...Curry cause was bitty and overly peppery tasteChips reheated and dregsOh and prawn crackers were free but still were stale that's why they're given away...It looked like a dogs dinner I really tried to ignore that and good God the other half couldn't even finish he felt too sick to carry onWaste of money and time oh and BTW the wait.... It arrived luke warm at best!Go to kings Paignton her quality is by far superior to this place I will never try another place again because God when they said the phrase like curry to a piss head" this places business must rely on that saying..."

Best Chinese in the bay! never a bad meal and 1 of the best priced aswell couldn't recommend enough

We're in town on holiday,and my wife fancied a Chinese meal,to take back to our Caravan. Found The Golden Lily, purely by chance,and i'm glad we did! Lovely food,especially my spare ribs. It's cash only though,so go prepared. Well worth it though. Highly recommended

Lead times to get food out is ridiculous...end up just getting a pizza from Coop

Glad to say that this is still the best Chinese takeaway in Paignton!!The food is outstanding!

It's our only choice for Chinese takeaway. They do not serve dine-in, do have delivery. No attempt at atmosphere, just a kitchen with a counter in the front, and room for 2-3 customers standing at counter for pickup. But the food is terrific!

Love this Chinese! Always good quality, tasty food, and doesn't leave that heavy sick feeling after, like some take outs do. I usually order to deliver so wait time is usually around 45mins but that's no problem for me and food always arrives hot. Best Chinese in my opinion.
