About Golden City
Golden City is a Chinese takeaway at 198 Western Ave in Speke, Liverpool, with a menu that covers both Chinese and English food. Fish and chips sit on the menu next to the Chinese dishes, and the fried rice comes in egg, special and chicken versions. Curry comes in a tub. Payment is cash only, and the takeaway does not accept cards, so customers need to bring cash with them when they collect an order.

Customer Review Summary
Fried rice is the item reviewers raise most, and opinions on it split sharply. One praises the special fried rice paired with a tub of extra hot curry at just the right consistency, while others find egg fried rice dry, sloppy, lukewarm, or tasting days old, and one says the garlic was overpowering. Most reviews are negative, and several say quality has slipped, with a couple suspecting new owners. Complaints name batter like leather, rock hard crispy chilli beef, chewy meat, sweet and sour that tasted like coloured vinegar, and salt and pepper chips that were mostly onions with no pepper. Several call prices high, and one was still charged for delivery. Delivery timing varies, from an order arriving well ahead of schedule to another landing far later than quoted. Spring rolls get a good word, and one reviewer found decent fish and chips at a sensible price despite the look from the outside.

“Food was meant to be here at 10:15 but arrived at 9:43, 10/10 delivery. Portion size is very good compared to other places that’s for sure, the tub of extra hot curry was the perfect size for the special fried rice and just at the right consistency not too thick not too runny. Overall I’d give you 6 stars but 5 is the highest lol, definitely going to be my main place I order from in the future”

“Stopped in on our way out of town. Spoke with Dave for a bit before they opened. Food is even better than he promised, and the service was quick and friendly. Thanks to Dave and crew, from Colin and Michelle (the Canadians)”
- Susan Lloyd
“Rice tasted like it was days old Definitely not fresh. New packaging just makes food sloppy. Prices are disgusting at least £3 more than other places. Would rather drive to other establishment and get lovely food for great prices than go there”

“Food isn’t bad at all. Was just surprised that you can’t pay by card in the third decade of the twenty first century.”
