Golden City in Portsmouth

Phone through an order ,went and paid ,waited for about 30 mins to be told it ll be 10 min 20mins past ,queried how long it would be again to be told it wasn't on the system . This was my number 1 chinese to go to but not no more

Short wait. Cheap prices but they don’t disappoint. This restaurant is underrated. 5 stars

Very cheap and affordable food. Wait only lasted 15 minutes tops. Food was nice and served in large portions to fill us up for the night. Delicious food.

We have enjoyed the prawn curry and have ordered this dish on a regular basis in the past. Unfortunately although the flavour was still there on this occasion, the prawn quantity was sadly diminished. Realise due to costs this is probably inevitable. Such a shame, but keep up the good work. Wouldn't mind paying a little extra for a few more prawns

Food OK if you pick up but payment on card is a joke. Since changing ownership the place has gone down hill and prices gone up. I wont be going back..just as well go to the taste of China a few doors away.

Worst Chinese meal ever! Duck that un edible just fat & hoisin sauce thick gritty tar with cucumber that’s old, rest of meal was not to standard as well as customer care when we complained Used to use regulary, will now be looking for new Chinese Money wasted & hungry

Just got a house curry and rice. Only 9.30 pm I live 100 meter away got in curry and rice stone cold. Not happy.

Great meal as usual apart from the pork balls. To be honest I’m not sure what the meat was inside but it certainly didn’t resemble meat of any kind. Where is the pork? This may make us make the move. Shame really.

Absolutely awful!!! The worst Chinese I’ve ever tasted. Actually just thrown it in the bin!!!, absolutely shocking excuse for Chinese food, was bland, didn’t taste of what it should, satay chicken is supposed to taste of peanuts, it tasted of nothing just some strange light yellow sauce! And everything was just full of raw onion!! Look at the pics, I ended up with a tub of just raw onion when I put all the onion from 3 dishes in 1 tub! Basically paid £6 for a tub of raw onion! Even put raw onion in the salt chilli chips!!! Awful, do not waste your money eating from this takeaway.

Love the food here, tried other places while they were closed for around a month and no-where matched up! Our favourite Chinese takeaway!

I’ve used this Chinese takeaway for a long time now but it has recently gone down hill , our last meal was disgusting so much that we chucked most of it away, it wasn’t even busy, the chips were like cardboard and the beef curry was tasteless, in fact we asked to have it slightly hotter but what came out was some ultra mild watery sauce poured over some beef and onion, I won’t be using this place again! I’d rather travel further and get quality food,

Get with the times it's 2023 and they don't take card really

Another place that doesn't take card payments. Don't bother!

I would recommend. Good Chinese food and polite people.

First time trying this Chinese and I was very impressed. Delivery was a quick food was fantastic would order again.

We've been eating take away from here for years. It is really good and MSG free. Beware, they only take cash (at point of review). Also: Takeaway only.

The food amazing chip nice and hot. Rice delicious and everything is great.The service is good people there is very kind.

Great food and nice customer service. Would recommend

The food was cold and extremely greasy, descent size portions but couldn’t eat as the grease made us feel sick.

First and last time using this Chinese, food turned up cold/lukewarm, very tasteless and all 4 that had the Chinese had stomach cramps and sickness after.

Great food good portions friendly staff what more can you ask for

Would not use these again me and a few other family members were violently sick all nite long within hours of eating their food

I would give it 0 stars but unfortunately that’s not an option. My partner asked for a certain type of rice and instead of telling him they don’t have it they agreed and gave him something else which was soaked in sweet and sour sauce it was vile and went straight in the bin. After trying to contact the restaurant no one answered The phone and by the time he drive back they were closed. Waste of money and fuel. Not worth it at all!

Shocking terrible. Can't even review the food. Didn't get what I ordered. Staff are incompetent aswell. Told to leave my daughter in hospital to go back and sort it.

We ordered 5 meals. 3 were very good, however, the other 2 were awful. I ordered a tofu Thai green curry & my daughter ordered a king prawn Thai green curry. All we could taste in the sauce was sugar. I counted 3 very thin slices of red chillis in mine absolutely no green ones. Other than the overwhelming taste of sugar the sauce was bland. The only positive for me was the tofu was cooked to perfection. Would I order from them again? Yes, I will give them 1 more chance, but definitely not a Thai dish.

Very polite on phone but horrendous delivery times..over an hour to travel less than a mile..wont be using again

Always really good food, can be quite busy on weekends & the wait can be a little longer than usual but always worth it! Friendly staff & very good service.

Nice food but had to wait over an hour for delivery.

Third time in a row we have ordered a takeaway. 3 times we asked specifically for extra spicy hot curry. 3 times we were given a curry that tasted like they forgot to put anycurry in it at all.wont be back again!!

Ordered from here last night for my bday. Use to go here sometime ago to collect and always excellent but now they deliver in our area and it was just as good as it was then. Now we have our regular again. Thanks GC 👍

Best hot and sour soup in the world food always hot and lovely beef chowmein always loads of beef.

Always come here if I fancy a curry, chicken fried rice or chicken balls... I do need to try some others really.

Best Chinese takeaway no doubt...

I am embarrassed to admit that I’ve tried every Chinese in Cosham, multiple times :-) However Golden City is by far my favourite. Never had a bad experience or bad meal. Also a plus that they’re now open 7 days a week.

Just ordered the Kung pao chicken, by far the best chinese meal I have ever had, Golden city is my new "go to" for Chinese.

Good food, good service. Can't fault it.

Always fantastic food and the staff are always great.

We are out of the area, staying in an air bnb and fancied a Chinese takeaway. This place was right across the street so was perfect! We could see a queue outside so thought it must be popular and we were not disappointed! The food was piping hot and cooked to perfection. Not one bad thing to say about this place!

They do put care into food and it isnt greasy and oily unlike most other Chinese restaurants

Always first class food from polite and helpful staff at a fare price. Presently they have plastic screens to comply with social distance.

Ive been ordering on and off for years here and the curry I just had wow.. The best I've ever had. Best food ever!

Always a lovely meal. Staff very friendly and helpful

Food is lovely been coming here for years and I have never had a bad experience.

Best Chinese in Portsmouth in my opinion Always tasty and enjoy every dish Shame they don’t deliver but worth going to collect

It's good but there is a better chinese in the area

Great food. Going back tonight.

It's what you expect and a bit more

Best chinese in cosham by a mile

👍👍well well well! Always as super delicious

Love the food from here, always brillaint.

I’ve been going here for years and I’m not sure what’s happened but I will never go here again. Firstly the order was wrong and when I checked, she then told me I was lying. Secondly I am a vegetarian and when I ordered I did explained this. I then opened my meal and there was a lump of beef in my dish and after ringing to complain they said I put it in there!!! This indicates that their food hygiene is sooooo poor and I would recommend that you NEVER go here!!

Not as good as it was, a change of ownership, changed the quality.

I have been going to Golden boat for years and after today’s Chinese certainly won’t be going back Chicken was pink Chips were chewy Chicken balls were rubbery Duck curry was awful.... Only nice thing was the rice Absolutely appalling

Love the hot and spicy crisps chicken. Number 5 on their menu. Never disappointed. Previously only ever had chicken chow mein however now enjoy number 5 more.

Good Chinese food, great service 5 stars

Excellent food and polite service. I never go anywhere else.

Good food at reasonable prices. Wouldn't give it 5 stars and hope there are better Chinese take aways locally. But overall have enjoyed the food here. Little over priced for quality. Wasn't too keen on the Chinese curry. Very good value since comes with rice or chips. Went for large with mushrooms. Maybe just not to my taste. But usually enjoy every Chinese curry I've tried before. Will definitely use again though..... EDIT changed from 4 to 3 stars as a few times told 10 to 15 minutes wait and end up waiting in shop for extra 10 to 15 minutes and food is average and high msg. 2 of the reviews are by the same person obviously linked with the Chinese. ...... 1star

Food is fantastic quality and always piping hot A*

A really great takeaway serving delicious food

Chicken satay is like rubber with no resemblance to peanut sauce , crab and sweet corn soup is tasteless, I'm sure I would of had more flavour having a bowl of water instead ! Chilli chicken is like slop with no flavour , pls do not waste your well earned cash on this takeaway ! 1/10

Nicest take away Chinese I've ever had , always great. We order from here on a regular basis and it never disappoints , the salt and chilli prawns are amazing.

I always go there when I am hungry it is a really good place to have a takeaway the service is excellent and you don't need to wait long. I recommend that place for every hungry soul.

Although we have moved 10miles away my wife still likes to go back to this one.highly recommend for Chinese food.

Fantastic takeaway good is superb always piping hot and great flavours and very friendly staff highly recommended

Really tasty takeaway. Lovely Chinese food. Great value for money as well. Curry deal really good value. Vegetable sides also good value and super tasty! Went to order in shop and collect and staff very friendly. My new go to place for Chinese food in Portsmouth when i'm there. Always good.

Great food and service. Always ready on time for collection...... The staff are always polite and chatty......

Really good Chinese food. One of the best in Portsmouth, would be better if they deliver

Always excellent food - wish they delivered! Always fresh and piping hot very good staff always friendly

Ordered a collection over the phone and was ready within 20 minutes. The service was excellent, both the gentleman on the phone and the young lady benind the counter were very friendly. The food was absoloutely fantastic, the best chow mein i can remember! Will definitely use again.

Somos asiduos semanales de esta llevar desde su traslado a Cosham. Esto es siempre la mejor comida china que he probado, la comida es siempre fresca, gran sabor y buenas raciones. El personal de la familia son muy amables y siempre dispuestos a ver. Yo recomendaría a nadie que probarlo.

The food from this Chinese is the best in Portsmouth by far, it is always piping hot and tastes amazing. Staff are very friendly and polite.

This is my local Chinese take away, the food is superb, it is a family run business, and every member of the family help this Chinese take away to be the best in the area. Would recommend to anyone, food is always hot, fresh and very tasty.

Great take away, the food is always fresh, hot and tasty. They are always willing to tweak a dish to suit your own tastes. The only down side is they don't do deliveries.

Really tasty takeaway. Lovely Chinese food.Great value for money as well. Curry deal really good value.Vegetable sides also good value and super tasty!Went to order in shop and collect and staff very friendly.My new go to place for Chinese food in Portsmouth when i'm there.
