The Golden Bowl

In Ilkeston, The Golden Bowl has earned a fine reputation for its Chinese and Cantonese cooking, where familiar favourites sit alongside more adventurous Asian dishes. The kitchen clearly understands the balance of flavours that makes this cuisine so satisfying—from the fragrant aromas of stir-fried classics to the comforting depth of slow-simmered soups. It’s the kind of place where you can trust the chef to deliver consistent quality, whether you’re after a quick bite or a proper feast.

The menu is a proper tour of Cantonese staples, with sweet and sour dishes that strike that perfect tangy-sweet note, and crispy aromatic duck that arrives with all the trimmings. Chow mein options are generously loaded, while the curry sauces have a warmth that lingers nicely. Everything is cooked to order, so you can expect freshness in every box. Perfect for an evening when only proper Chinese takeaway will do, and available for delivery or collection across Ilkeston.
