Golden City in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Food was the worse I’ve ever had had to stop my children from eating it it was that bad all sauces was just water

Rice was still a bit soft but overall alright, wouldn’t be my first choice tho

Ordered for 4 of us. Everyone said it was wonderful, it was a really nice meal.

Ordered through Deliveroo which said 30 delivery time at 7.45, after paying that suddenly jumped to 10.20, bad enough but the. Food that arrived was absolutely the worst Chinese we have ever encountered, seriously think twice about ordering from here

Food was burnt and tasted burnt. Very greasy.

Order was late even after I'd called to find out where my order was, They refused to do anything to compensate for the late delivery.. Noodles were like rubber, Chicken balls were over cooked and the chips were dry and cold..

missing items and some of it was cold

The only thing that bothered me was the delivery. Was a young child. Had the bag in his hand, excited the car and spat, while holding the bag over it. The bag Is closed but not nice to see??

Delivery time was spot on, the salt and pepper chips, wasn’t very nice, and more just like plain chips

the food was perfect hot and very tasty

food tasted and was burnt in places. I will not be ordering from here again.

Always high quality, whether it’s pizza, kebab etc Recommended!!

Just had a takeaway from here and it's the worst Chinese meal I've ever had. I had a chicken curry with rice and spring roll. The chicken was in square cubes,wonder if its even real chicken tbh :/ and it tasted horrid, no seasoning at all. The curry sauce was lacking any flavour whatsoever. Spring rolls were overcooked and lacking flavour. My son ordered a vegetarian option only to be delivered the meat version ( 2nd time that's happened too ) Total waste of money...Will never go back here.

Bitterly disappointed with this order. I’ve not had many issues ordering in the past, in fact the food has normally been really good. This time however, my order was wrong, I was sent mixed meat noodles instead of my vegetarian noodles and when ringing up, they apologised but wouldn’t send out my veggie ones, so the main part of my meal was now a waste. The food was tasteless, no seasoning and the rice I did have, was incredibly undercooked. My mum couldn’t finish her dish. Very disappointing.

Just moved into the local area. We had heard great things and thought we would give Golden city a try. We were not disappointed and we will be returning. Collection was quick and hassle free. Very friendly and welcoming.

Everything burnt to a crisp. BBQ spare ribs dry as a bone. Prawn toast, salt and pepper chips and chicken balls dripping in grease, sweet and sour sauce congealed. Spring rolls passable. Will never use again!

good food and speedy delivery. only issue was burnt fried chicken and the curry sauce wasn't as good as other places. other than that probably the best in the area.

chips were cold and very dry but I've never has a good portion of chips here anyway. Foo young was ok but nearly cold too.

Order time was changed. Food was extremely greasy and soggy. Squid was very chewy. Would not recommend.

Everything Overcooked and the egg fried rice had a terrible cigarette smell! Won’t be ordering again. Disgusting!

I order from this place regularly with my partner and family. This time , I’m extremely appalled. The food arrived cold, and mainly veg. The driver only arrived 10 mins late but the food was ice cold. The next day I had D and V, shocking. Unfortunately lost long standing customers. Gutted.

very nice, hot fresh and lovely

Not tasty, not fresh - we had ribs, honkong chicken and shredded beef, all meats were long after their prime, chewy and dried out. Almost 2 hours to deliver.

Food was nice bit on the crispy side but tasted good

Curry was just full of onions. And not much flavour. Chips were over cooked as if they’d cooked them 3 times over. Chicken balls were solid.

Good delivery on a busy day. Food was good no issues would go back

pancake rolls where to tough to eat everything else was just ok won't be ordering again

Was absolutely delicious, this is our new go to 5😍😍😍😍😍

Really nice, really fresh and hot!

Absolutely fantastic meal tonight. Estimate arrival time of 18:25 to 18:45 was delivered at 5:45. Will be ordering again for sure

piping hot and arrived fast. couldn’t ask for better, the delivery driver was so friendly too

Probably the worst Chinese in Camborne won’t be returning been declining for a while

Awful food. Chicken tough, chips soggy slow delivery. Would not recommend. 😞

Food was so so good. Driver was sound as well

lush, hot and fresh , just perfect

Gotten food quite a few times from golden city and really enjoyed it but today it wasn't as good, very dry sweet and sour with barely any sauce, and the chow mein didn't taste as good as usual

Everything was bland! The prices were extortionate, and the dishes had very little meat. Extremely poor.

Absolutely would not recommend, there were things in my chicken balls that seem plastic

was delicious , thanks so much

Most of the order was ok, but the chicken chow mein was Burnt !! Couldn't taste anything except a burnt taste !! Straight in the bin for a 8 pound dish

Pre ordered for my food to arrive at 7:30, miraculously AFTER I submitted my food was late the time changed to 8pm saying it was being prepared! It wasn’t clearly as my food arrived cold!

Our first time ordering Chinese and it was great! Hot yummy food and generous portions.

Arrived nearly 30 mins before my wife got home from work and I had to reheat it for her, quality wasn’t the greatest too

Food was cold, chips was still raw and took hours to arrive.

Not too late delivery, but when the driver arrived she was sullen and thrust the bag at me with barely a word. I'd called the restaurant to ask if it was on the way as it had been logged as "on it's way" for nearly half an hour and then it ran over. I was assured it had only recently left the restaurant and traffic was to blame (we're a 5 minute walk away). Being a Friday evening, I didn't press and sure enough, it arrived a few minutes later. The food actually wasn't particularly warm, let alone hot, plus one of the dishes had exploded in the bag and covered everything. The Sweet and Sour sauce stained my fingers orange when I took it out the bag, suggesting food colouring is used. The Lemon Chicken was chewy on the outside, hardly cut into pieces, batter was overcooked and when I peeled some back on the leftovers the chicken looked freezer burnt. It all actually tasted OK, and portion sizes are good, but the chicken texture was really unpleasant. There was something bright orange in with it and I discovered it was a piece of pork (I have photos). Food hygiene standards a concern, but we had already eaten. The prawns were fine (I hope - we'll find out tomorrow). Egg Fried Rice fine. Was debating one or two stars, as it isn't the worst I've ever had and I've ordered from them before, but the poor food hygiene standards I can't forgive. I don't like feeling nervous for my child's and my health after a meal.

Food was vile. Watery curry. Duck in chow mein was chewy. Spare ribs full of broken bones

Super good food very tasty, on time and hot, can’t wait to order again.

Really poor quality meals that ended up in the bin. Definitely not chicken or beef in either of the dishes but the veggies appeared ok.

Amazing food, thank you we will be coming back again!

Just the best tasting out there. Great service and very quick delivery

The delivery driver to so lovely and food always nice and hot

it was beautiful, hot, cooked to perfection, absolutely beautiful

Slightly perturbed redaing reviews but decided to give delivery a go. Food arrived on time, was hot and tasty. Not oily either. Prices reasonable and would happily return.

100% the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had. Unfortunate because the guy who served me seemed nice enough. Would never eat here again. Complete waste of money

Sadly won’t eat from here again. I’m not usually compelled to write reviews but maybe it’ll help improve the quality of the food which was at best not very nice and worst - disgusting. Worse Chinese we have ever had and will go elsewhere. Tasteless, soggy and cold by the time we got it home. Really disappointed after spending over £40. Wish we had the read the reviews before ordering. :(

it was lovely best Chinese I've had in a while

Really tasty food with a great range of items on the menu, and delivery was on time. Will definitely order from here again!

First time trying and it was very nice would defo recommend and will be ordering again🙂

no seaweed in order sadly ribs where very dry .normally very good but not this time

We all really enjoyed it. Highly recommend

Food was tasteless, it was late and the beef in mushrooms was very watery and salty. I won't be using you again.

The lamb was swimming in fat and the food was not very warm. Feel very disappointed. The order took over an hour to arrive!

Fantastic food. The sweet and sour chicken balls are massive...too big really. Good value for money though..will definitely use again.

Absolutely gorgeous. Hot, and tasty

Lovely meal will definitely order from them again

Shocking service , 3 hours after ordering still no food , 2 phones call where was told would be half hour , I finally have up and now have to wait for a refund . Worse customer service

After 3 hours I had to go and collect my order. Even then there were missing items. Would never order again

Don't no where to start the food if that's what you call it was disgusting some was missing from the order the chips well looked and tasted like last weeks had to go in the bin never ever again don't waste your money coming here

I don't understand the negative reviews because I can honestly say I've just had the best Chinese I've tasted in a very long time! Chicken Chow Mein was beautiful, quarter chicken and chips... the chips were lush! The quarter chicken I always order every where for my cat and I have the chips lol. The food was hot on delivery also. Thank you very much! Will be ordering from here the next time I have a Chinese takeaway.

Bit of a wait but one of the best Chinese takeaways in Cornwall

Food was absolutely disgusting would never ever oder from here again

1 star is generous. Messed order up over phone, then when we got it back, no noodles with special, no fresh chilli's or onion with salt n pepper chips and chicken, even though menu says so, all the deep fried food tasted of prawn, so guessing oil is not clean, neither was the shop collection area. Curry sauce was terrible. First and last time used.

I'm not sure where to start other than awful. We had the chicken curry which came pale red (more pink) hardly any chicken (the chicken had been pashed into an inch of his it's life) no flavour at all, overcooked and solid rice. Gristle running through the chicken balls (apparently they buy the pre prepped chicken, which is a rubbish excuse if you ask me) When I took everything back to the takeaway I was told they tried the curry and it was ansum and firey.....I think they need to think again as it was Niether. I was told the rice isn't over cooked it's just where it has been in the tub. Oh and when you hear the sound of microwaves pinging then it's no wonder it was dreadful. Will never return, should of read the reviews before we went. Can't wait for new Hong sing to reopen when they are back off holiday. However the delivery guy was nice

Ordered through just eat and was told it would be around an hour. No problem. An hour and a half later I’m wondering where it is. Leave it another half an hour… Still no food. Called the restaurant and was told it would be another half an hour! I can only assume they didn’t see it because if this is the standard wait time then I don’t know how they plan on staying in business. The food eventually turned up, nearly 3 hours after placing an order. Ribs were nice, rice was weirdly crumbly and tasted like oil which was the base for everything else so not enjoyable. Won’t order again and wouldn’t recommend

Over spiced burnt to the point it was inedible cold absolutely disgusting will not be ordering from here again

Never delivered, never answered mine or deliveries calls. No got to quickly cook a meal before bed. Awful place as this isnt the first occasion.

Missed half the food, said they would deliver but never did. Food was cold. Appalling. Rather go hungry

Walked in, just before 9.30, and a guy told me they had just closed (signs say they close at 10PM, but whatever) I said OK and turned around to walk out. Just before I could open the door the same guy asked me what I wanted!? I ordered a fried rice, and he relayed the order to the kitchen. I was then asked by the girl on the till "cash or card?". I said card, and then the guy who told me they had closed interrupted and demanded the girl on the till not to process my card, because "it would cost them £2 to process it". I mean, I don't really get any of this exchange. So I turned around and left. I will never go back to this place, they are very odd.

Waited TWO HOURS and still it didn’t arrive. Had 3 kids to feed- No word from them, no apology for it being late, no reason why. Had to cancel it in the end. Will NEVER order from here again.

No food 2 and half hours later nobody answering the phone absolute shambles

Sweet and sour sauce was extremely runny and tasted of vinegar! The “crispy noodles” with duck was soft and not crispy at all. The duck was very fatty and looked like a hey used the bits of the duck that only a cat would eat! Will not be buying from this place again! Angry and HUNGRY!

Food smell and tasted like odd cigarettes/ashtray also food was very salty.do not recommend

Delivery driver is awsome. The food is always hot and tasty.

Had takeaway last night. Told wait would be 4 hours, arrived in 2 and was hot! Food good too. Not sure what the other reviews are about, I think some are talking out their rear.

Worst Chinese ever every had. They didn't read the ticket messed up order, and the food itself was shocking, from somthing we can't describe what it is in the udon to the water curry sauce

Bloody terrible service can't rate the food coz it's still not here after waiting 3 hrs since my order

Do not order food from these dirty cheap people, they do not care about what your food will be like

Such great Chinies food very very great service and great food.

The only place to have a good tack out 😋😋

This is the second time we have ordered curry with no onions and both times has come with onions. Gave them a second chance but no more

Beef curry with no onions and a beef chowmein with no beanspoats , a bloody joke, thought we would give the place a second chance 😂, special fried rice with extras ....... slugs

Mum and partner ordered a beef curry with NO onions and Noodles with NO beansprouts a month or so ago and as pictured arrived containing both! They decided this evening to give them another chance and their rice has arrived with an added extra of A SLUG! Absolutely repulsive. In my own experience ordering over the phone has proven hard work as the girl answering is rude: The only good thing about this place is the lovely bloke who delivers for them.

Beef fried rice was good. Squid fry was ok

Fantastic food, under new ownership and WOW! The staff were polite and helpful, the food arrived on time, hot and tasty, not salty or greasy, great prices and huge menu to chose from, will definitely be ordering again :)

This "takeaway" is an absolute joke! Ordered at 6.15 for a 45-60 minute delivery, chased up 5 times from 75 minutes later, four times was told our meal was on the way, had just left, was with the driver, nearly 2 hours later they had the nerve to deny they had even taken my order even thought the little girl had read it back to me! This isnt the first time it's happened! Do yourself a favour, order somewhere else!

Wouldn't have any food from here if it came for FREE. It's over priced, not edible and the customer service from the cockney owner is only for the less primitive people of this world. Love the threats. said there under new management. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Terrible place, I have had to wait over 2 hours for food from this place before, rang 3 times and every time told it was on its way which was complete rubbish, the next time we ordered (I'm not sure what possessed me to order from them again tbh) they served us raw chicken, then when I rang them to tell them they argued with me about it and then told me I'd have to drop it off for a refund, I told them 'no this is not how it works, you send your delivery driver around to pick it up' so they could see it was indeed raw (I wasn't even bothered about the refund just wanted for them to see that they could make someone really ill from the food they were serving) anyway they never turned up and couldn't care less about giving their customers food poisoning, I would 100% advise people to avoid this place

Just had food delivered .. sent the wrong food and was told that if we wanted to change to correct order we had to come and do it yourselfs... being homebound was why we got a delivery....

Possibly the dirtiest place I’ve ever been in. If I hadn’t ordered and paid for the food online I would have carried on walking straight past. Half eaten and spat out baguette on the window sill, a group of maskless teenagers “hanging out” in the waiting area. Served by a lady with a snotty toddler on her hip while the other lady also had her other partially dressed toddler on her hip. I say partially dressed as the toddler had thrown the rest of her clothes around the waiting area in some form of super tantrum. I didn’t know wether the hygiene certificate had fallen off the wall or they had hid it due to the lack of stars.

Very disappointing a complete waste of money, will never order from here again.
