Golden orange shack is a truly hidden gem in Leicester. We had an exceptional warm welcome and great service. The food here is essentially noodles and soup, some great meat kebabs, and some rice in clay pot dishes. There is no alcohol sold hwre but a greay range of soft drinks. The food we had was sensational and tasted fresh and lovely. The noodles were unctuous. The broth had many different elements and a chili oil slick that was pretty hot. Prices were very reasonable. I will be coming back here regularly for sure.

I tried Golden Orange Snac in the heart of Leicester for the first time, and it was a great experience. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered two noodle dishes — beef noodles with soup and dry spicy chicken — both were amazing, full of flavor, and really tasty. Definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely amazing food. We've been here twice now and everything we ordered has tasted divine. Best minced meat and noodles I've ever had in a Chinese dish and their skewered are cooked so perfectly. Definitely give a try

I've been here on multiple occasions and it never seems to disappoint. Always a great pleasure eating from this little local Chinese place. It's located well in the city centre near to the market. They have a range of options - all clearly pictured with descriptions on the wall. They serve halal meat/chicken. The food is delicious! They cater to your "spice" needs depending on how you'd like it. The hand pulled noodles are great and the meat is perfect. The broth is tasty also! Delicious food and great staff - I'd always pay a visit

A cute little shop tucked in the corner of Haymarket. Very authentic dishes. I definitely recommend the lamb skewers, meat is very tender. The chicken and mushroom rice bowl is also a must try.

Golden Orange is a well-known Chinese restaurant located in Leicester City Centre. This restaurant is popular for its authentic Chinese cuisine, offering a wide range of dishes that cater to different tastes. The menu typically includes traditional Chinese dishes such as stir-fries, noodles, rice dishes, and dim sum. - The restaurant serves a variety of Chinese dishes, including classic options like Sweet and Sour Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Beef in Black Bean Sauce, and an array of noodle and rice dishes. Golden Orange may also offer dim sum, which includes a selection of small dishes like dumplings and fried salt and pepper chicken.

Typically when I visit a new city I google best Chinese restaurants and this was in the top 3. Just a few minutes away, it was easy to find on Maps. On entering you could just tell the food is authentic from its aroma. The menu was in the native language as well as English. The prices were affordable. Tables and chairs were provided and I was happy to Dine in as it gave me that quaint feeling that I enjoy. Hand sanitizers were available. It's cash only and I didn't noticed any restrooms. There was only one visible staff who took orders and serve and she was great. The food tasted authentically delicious 😋

(100% Halaal verified by hostess) (Pescetarian, Gluten-free and Vegetarian options available) (Cash Only - two cash machines 1min away towards Highcross) (No toilets) A cosy little restaurant hidden on the corner of Leicester's bustling outdoor market. Blink and you'll miss out on the aromatic flavours of their soups, spicy noodles and array of delicious Eastern-Chinese trademark dishes. The hostess is obliging and cheerful, the atmosphere relaxed and warm. Definitely worth the trip every time.

Absolutely love this place, I come here regularly with my partner. My favourite is the XO noodles (not here in the picture but delicious dry noodles if you won’t want the soup). Also highly recommend the spicy fried chicken and the crispy seaweed rolls filled with vermicelli noodles. Always delicious food and the loveliest woman in the reception. Love it here so underrated!
