Golden Palace

You'll find this place tucked along the Swords Road, the kind of reliable local Chinese that every neighbourhood needs but not every neighbourhood gets. The Golden Palace has that lived-in feel that comes from years of satisfied customers - nothing flashy, just proper takeaway done right. The menu runs deep with all the classics you'd expect, but they do them well. Portions are generous enough to keep you going for days, and the prices won't leave you questioning your life choices. It's the sort of spot that's become part of the fabric for locals in Whitehall and beyond - order ahead because they stay properly busy, especially at weekends.
