“No idea what the food is like as it didn’t arrive. Ordered a delivery that was due to arrive at 9:10. Called at 9:30 as it hasn’t arrived and was told it would be there in 25 mins. Called again at 10:00 and was told it would be another 30 mins, so cancelled the order. Shocking customer service, definitely not using again. Genuinely didn’t seem bothered by our order or whether we cancelled or not.”

“Just ate a the food that was delivered after an hour and a half. The food was disgusting. The meat seemed old and so did the ribs. This used to be a great take away, but not anymore. I don't know what's happened to Golden City. I will not return and would not recommend.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers praise generous portions of crispy beef and dishes made Singapore style, with the chow meins called delicious and the food described as tasty and freshly prepared. Another reviewer found a chicken curry with boiled rice, mushrooms and onions nice, though the onions could have been cut finer. Several say they order or collect regularly. The recurring complaint is delivery. Orders are described as arriving well over an hour late, and two reviewers say the food never turned up at all. Repeated calls brought the same promise that it was on the way, and one cancelled the order, feeling the staff were not bothered. A few longtime customers say standards have slipped, calling the mixed starter lacking and the meat and ribs old. One also mentions a cold waiting area with the door constantly blowing open. One regular closes the praise by noting the kitchen is open to tweaking an order, a crispy shredded chicken with black bean sauce, bean shoots and water chestnuts.
