Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return for generous portions of Chinese dishes. Beef chow mein with plenty of beef, special fried rice full of meat and prawns, salt and pepper chicken or prawns, chicken in black beans and sweet and sour chicken are all named. Regulars of many years say they have never had a bad meal, and several mention orders arriving quickly, including phone orders that are ready when they collect. Fish and chips get a mention for mostly fresh cooking and no sloppy batter. The picture is not uniform. One diner was given pork instead of chicken and was told it was deep fried chicken, and described the beef as shiny and layered. Another found the food poorly seasoned, with too many bean sprouts and mushrooms that felt like an afterthought, though the service was good. Delivery draws mixed comments: one reviewer praises hot deliveries, while another docks a star because they do not deliver. Free prawn crackers are thrown in with orders.

    “Best Chinese T/a in York. I've been to just about every fast food outlets, as an engineer repairing catering equipment and as a paying customer, this is by far the best.”

    “Best Chinese I’ve ever been to, food is perfect every time, always go above and beyond and service is amazing, always the first meal I have when I get back from holiday!”
  • Lexus Sellars (York Reviewer)
    “The KING of Chinese takeaways in Acomb. I still set Maks is the best in York but for Acomb this one is the best. Amazing delivery times always hot and it's just top quality food and the price is what gives this one a fifth Star. This isn't just a Chinese takeaway it's also a chippy! But I dont ever think of it as a chippy to be honestl never tried that here as I come here for Chinese not a chipoy. They also throw in free prawn crackers as well. Golden city and golden takeaway.”

    “Oh what a Chinese this is. If you know Golden City you will already know what an amazing Chinese it is, but if you’ve not come across it before, don’t look any further. I have been coming here for around 13 years and my wife and her family have been coming here for around 30 years. In that time we have never had a bad meal. Honestly everything on the menu is fantastic, I haven’t tried everything but a good handful of dishes and most starters. I strongly recommend the salt and pepper chicken or prawns, chicken in black beans and the sweet and sour chicken. The prices have gone up over the years which is understandable but absolutely worth it for the portion sizes you get and the quality of the food. Thank you Golden City.”
