Golden Sea Chinese in Castlebar legal

18/03/2025: Have been here twice now, but I’m not sure I’ll be returning. Sitting here currently whilst writing this due to the annoyance I currently feel. The food here is excellent—there’s no denying that. The cakes and desserts, in particular, are outstanding, so it would make sense for the team to focus more on upselling them at every opportunity. The service overall is good, but I feel it could benefit from some training, particularly in checking back on tables to ensure everything is okay and offering additional items like desserts, teas, or coffees. What disappointed me most was after I had finished my meal, I sat for 10 to 15 minutes in a very quiet restaurant (only two tables occupied). During that time, the owner walked past my table without acknowledging me or asking if I wanted anything else. However, he did approach another guest—a better-dressed man—clearing his plate and checking in on him. I actually intended to order a cake and coffee, but after experiencing what felt like unfair treatment, I decided against it. I currently work as an Operations Manager in a busy four-star hotel, and if my staff had acted this way, I would have been embarrassed. Regardless of how a guest appears, every customer should be treated equally, especially in an independent local business where service and reputation are key. While I truly enjoyed the food, I believe improving consistency in service and avoiding judgments based on appearances would make a big difference.
