Starving and turned away for dine in service by a Chinese restaurant not to far from here ..my son and I ventured into Bowness and discoverers the Golden West Restaurant. We were greeted by a young lady that explained how dine in worked . You order and pay- cafeteria style- and your food is brought out in take out containers with utensils on a tray.
Desperate to feed my son something quick ( it was getting late).
We ordered his favorites via a dinner for two.
It came with
salt and pepper squid
Sweet and sour pork ( normally it comes with ginger beef but he finds that too spicy so we substituted the pork)
Spring rolls fried rice and wonton soup.
The young lady a mother of two young children herself totally understood and adjusted and accommodated all of our requests
I had forgotten to order the squid less spicy and my son had an Initial reaction that had him panting like a dog and waving his tongue frantically . Without hesitating- the lady taking the orders asked my son if he wanted some milk and rushed to get him a glass .
She was super observant and so so kind . She even brought some board games for him to play with while we waited for the food . I did not see but heard her children on the other side of the cafe-
This is a restaurant owned by a family that is very kind with amazing customer service . I would return for the service alone !!
The wonton soup was seasoned perfectly and the little wontons had a thin wrapping - which I prefer to the thicker kind. It had a little bit too many yellow rusticly chopped onions for my sons palate but I thought it was soooo good. The salt and pepper squid and sweet and sour pork were slightly both over battered - the pork had equal amounts fatty pork and batter -
My chef always told me the ratio of breading should at the absolute most - be 70-80 % meat and the rest batter , outside of this issue the degree of crisp was perfect . The sauce for the pork was a little too sweet but all tasted so good .
Rice was a bit oily but lots of flavour
Portions were HUGE
I still can’t get over how impressed I was by the service and the kindness from the incredibly intuitive lady taking orders . We will for sure come back for Chinese here and happily recommend them to any families or parents with young children .
These guys rock

Really beautiful off leash dog park . There are hidden streams throughout the park so the dogs have access to water during the hot summer seasons. Every park has its challenges with owners picking up after their dogs and edworthy is no different . There are obvious issues with this right from the get go, but most people I see that frequent the park pick up after their dogs. The park is so massive it allows you to pretty much go for a beautiful hike without running into anyone . There are lots of trails and very nice change to the typical field full of owners and chuck it’s throwing ball after ball.
