About Golden City
Golden City is a Chinese takeaway at 38 Greenock Rd in Paisley, in the Shortroods area and a short distance from the town centre. The menu covers noodle dishes, rice dishes, curry and soup, with chicken chow mein among the noodle plates. Sweet and sour Hong Kong style chicken is one of the mains, and chips are listed too, including salt and chilli chips. Chinese dishes and chips sit on the same menu, so one order can pair a noodle dish with a portion of chips.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split on the chicken at Golden City. The most repeated complaint is chicken that is chewy, dry or gristly, or missing altogether: one found a sweet and sour Hong Kong style with thick pieces and no chicken inside, another got a chicken fried rice with none in it, and a third got black chewy bits in a chicken curry. Chips draw mixed comments, with one finding the salt and chilli chips burnt and another describing chips, rice and curry sauce as a tasteless clump, while a regular praises the chips and curry sauce. On the positive side, reviewers single out the beef curry, the fried rice and the chicken chow mein with thick noodles, and several say they have used it for years without a bad meal. A couple praise the friendly staff, including two women who went beyond their roles. Portion sizes and value are questioned in one review, where a chicken curry and prawn cocktail came without prawn crackers. One reviewer was told to take a complaint up with the workers the next day.

- Dina Anders
“Friendly staff, but unfortunately food wasn’t that good. Side dish of chips, rice and curry sauce pretty poor and tasteless. Virtually no sauce and chips and rice all stuck together in a big clump. Couldn’t even separate once on the plate. Portion of boiled rice was fine, but the chicken in both our main dishes was dry, chewy and over cooked.”
- Toby Wood
