About Golden City
Golden City is a Chinese takeaway on Manchester Rd in Castleton, Rochdale, now under new ownership after a recent takeover. The menu includes box meals, and munchy box A bundles salt and pepper chips, chicken and chicken balls with fried rice, noodles and a carton of curry sauce, so one order covers the main parts of a meal. Box meal B sits alongside it. Salt and pepper chicken and hot and sour soup are also on the list. Main meals do not come with rice or chips, so those are ordered separately.

Customer Review Summary
Box meals draw the most praise, with reviewers calling box meal B excellent value and plenty for sharing, and describing a munchy box A of salt and pepper chips, chicken and chicken balls alongside fried rice, noodles and a carton of curry sauce. Generous portions come up repeatedly, and one family served a box meal as an Easter Sunday banquet. Close behind, the special fried rice is called the best one reviewer has had in Rochdale, and a few note food arriving hot and fresh with friendly, prompt service. The complaints centre on stingy meat and prawns and weak flavours. One reviewer found a single prawn, cut in half, in a hot and sour soup that tasted only of chillies, and called the chicken satay just chicken in curry sauce. Another says the garlic and chilli chicken was so watered down it had no flavour, a third wanted more than two prawns in the fried rice, and one adds that they lie. After phoning to ask for the meals to be remade, one reviewer was offered only a partial refund.

“Wasn't very good at all. Ordered chicken in garlic and chili sauce; it had been watered down so much that there was no flavor at all. Very disappointed; I will not be ordering from there again!”
