Golden City Chinese Restaurant in Birmingham

The only reason I ate this horrid gloopy mess was because it was expensive and I was hungry. First time, last time.

not the best curry disappointed as had guests over, no complimentary prawn crackers after spending over £35 😕

Food was flavorful and authentic. Staff were very polite and attentive. Prices were really good and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really chill

I spent £22 for a wonton soup and a mixed meat chow mein. My soup was TINY and had 4 wontons and the chow mein had 1 prawn and barely any meat.

Great food, quick delivery. My new favourite place

Delicious food and quick delivery 10/10

Sorry I felt bad for giving a 1 stars

Disgusting. Uncooked mushrooms and a chicken substitute. And a tiny container for a main meal. Never again.

Delivery man was really helpful and friendly

I asked the staff for a recommendation and had the chicken fried noodles. It was so delicious. The soy sauce-based sauce was a bit bitter, so I added iced tea and it came out to about 13 pounds. If you purchase in cash, you will receive a 10% discount. I also ate the lunch box. To eat a lunch box, you just have to choose a main side dish and one carbohydrate. I had soy sauce pork and egg fried rice and it wasn't bad. It was good because there was a lot of food.

Really enjoyed meal still nice and hot thank you

This is the second order! The driver says that is has been delivered and it has not been!

Liked the food here will come again

Decent place, good authentic Chinese food, portion size is bigger than normal in my opinion. Lots of ethnic Chinese customers which is a good sign!

Both the veg and the prawns were far too salty.

Ordered via UberEats and it got delivered relatively fast. Although the egg foo young wasn’t what I expected, but it still tasted okay except that it doesn’t come with rice and a few pieces of the chicken & shrimp tasted funky. Also came with some prawn crackers.

My food was a bit all over the place - bbq sauce covered every package….food was ok though.

Your rider delivered the order to someone else. I am awaiting a call back from a team leader to discuss this as the person on the live chat said I didn’t give my correct address but I did. The rider obviously did not ask the person who took my order what their name was or what the order number was. Had they done so they would have known it wasn’t me. Often riders say” are you Justin “ rather than saying what is your name.

Thought of going here for many years but finally decided to, and it was lovely. Not the usual Chinese buffet fare, original and authentic dishes. Very generous portion sizes. Pics of wok fried pork and beef noodles, and I can’t remember the correct names for the rest!! All of us enjoyed our meals, including the coconut milk/water canned drinks!

I ordered a rice and beef on skewers it was a waste of money very expensive food and bad quality never order again in my life

Taste is bad. The food is quite expensive. Lots and lots of rice and barely any protein.

salty plum sauce and the duck and chicken were a bit hard. pineapple fritters nice

Always had decent food here. Generous sized portions for the price.

I wish I could take a picture of the salt and pepper chips, they were terrible pretty much just normal chips, £8 pure robbery

Really tasty special chow mein, (mixed meat)although was shame there was only 1 prawn in there especially as it cost £19.00 with delivery

Duck was all fat no meat, everything was sooooo salty. Considering how expensive it was I’m shocked at the quality! £37 for 3 dishes, not even any free prawn crackers. Even with a discount this was unfortunately a rip off. Do not recommend.

AVOID. THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF. Food was flavourless. They are incredibly expensive for absolutely no reason. We ordered meat spring rolls and we're sent flat fried pasties with half a teaspoon worth of filling. Absolute disappointment

Lol where do I start spent £90 but discounted to £75, portion of seaweed for £7 was tiny ...egg fried rice came in a small container ...this place is a rip off and the food quality is poor , this has to be the most expensive and yet one of the worst Chinese restaurants we have ordered from , avoid and spend and save money elsewhere

We went to this store. Manager rejected to taking our oder and said restaurant was closed. But they took next customer’s order same time. The manager was very rude to us. He discriminated us because we are asians. Never visit again. We’er very upset.

Food finally turned up 45 min later then stated and was stone cold. The sauce was thick and clumpy and ended up going in the bin

Lemon chicken is so dry. Not very nice. Chicken satay is tough and tastes as though it was made yesterday and put in microwave. I wish I could attach pictures of lemon chicken

Very tasty food, definitely a treat. Always been hot when arrived via delivery. Restaurant quality. Would recommend A+++

The staff were Rude ignorant when we placed a order not very goid English no body was in the restaurant it was empty got the food and was discusted after paying before the meal we complained about the food and the big man laughed at us we want refund couldn't eat the food I would not recommend anyone to use this restaurant very poor quality service

It was discussed not cooked properly the staff are rude and racists I would not recommend this place to any one the food is vile

First of all, as soon as I entered the restaurant I realised a bad smell, like live stock (poultry). Then when I saw down to look at the menu (possibly for take away due to the stench), my arms got sticky on the table top. I then realised all tables are in a similar state. The man behind the counter seemed uninterested in my presence. Even when I was talking to him he gave one word answers, although his English was great, when I heard him talking on the phone later. The food came after a solid 25 minutes, even though the restaurant seemed empty, not many online orders and it was only fried noodles that I had ordered. When I finally got my food, it was placed on the table, like how I throw food to my dogs. So I decided not to eat it and left. I know it’s only a Chinese restaurant in Selly Oak. But the prices are more on the high end. So I guess my mistake for expecting anything at all.

10 10 would recommend, you get a generous portion for the price, and the food taste good. I ate with 2 other people and was able to take a decent amount of left overs home.

Great place for reasonably priced Chinese food in Selly Oak; especially if you’ve lived in Asia/ south east Asia previously, this place definitely makes you feel comfortable and close to home. The price is fair for the portions with a nice set menu that I often order. Steven is a great lad who really looks out for his guests and gives great suggestions if you’re looking to try new dishes there. I’m a proud regular at this restaurant!

Missed out vital bits of our order. Hung up the phone once. Not helpful about sorting it when got through.

My recent dining experience at Golden City Chinese Restaurant left me absolutely delighted with their delectable offerings. I am thrilled to share my five-star review, highlighting the mouthwatering feast that included Sichuan Spicy Fish, Crispy Pork Chops, and sizzling Iron Plate Beef. Let's start with the star of the show—the Sichuan Spicy Fish. This dish was a fiery symphony of flavors that had my taste buds dancing with delight. The tender fish fillets were generously coated in a rich and aromatic Sichuan pepper-infused sauce, packing a punch of heat and numbing sensation that I couldn't resist. The combination of spice and freshness made this dish an absolute culinary masterpiece. Next up were the Crispy Pork Chops, and they were nothing short of perfection. Each chop was expertly fried to a golden crisp, revealing juicy and succulent meat within. The thin, crunchy coating provided a delightful contrast to the tender pork, creating a delightful texture and taste combination. It was a true comfort food indulgence that left me craving more. The sizzling Iron Plate Beef was a visual and flavorful treat. As the iron plate arrived at our table, the beef was still sizzling, releasing enticing aromas. The tender strips of beef were complemented by a medley of colorful vegetables and a savory sauce that tied all the flavors together beautifully. Every bite was a burst of satisfaction, making it a dish I'll be returning for again and again. Beyond the exquisite dishes, I must praise the attentive and friendly service at Golden City. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and made us feel welcome throughout the entire meal. The ambiance was inviting, creating a pleasant environment to enjoy our dining experience. To top it all off, the prices at Golden City were more than reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. It's clear that this restaurant values both taste and affordability, making it a standout choice for an exceptional dining outing. In conclusion, Golden City Chinese Restaurant has earned my highest recommendation. Their Sichuan Spicy Fish, Crispy Pork Chops, and Iron Plate Beef showcased the best of Chinese flavors and culinary expertise. With attentive service, inviting surroundings, and excellent value, Golden City is a must-visit for anyone craving an unforgettable Chinese dining experience.

Very very happy !! Ordered for over 11 of our residents and it was delivered on time, it was hot and fresh, will be using again ! Very happy

Ordered from deliveroo, after 45 minutes of waiting they cancelled the order at which point all the chinese restaurants around me were closed

Banging beautiful delicious food!!!

Nice food staff is so nice whenever i visit there always they do good smile and welcome

really good food good staff and very tasty food. Would recommend. Its in student area of selly oak. Nice location on Bristol Road.

Sichuan lamb dish was very tough and rubbery. Poor cut low quality meat with a lot of white chewy bits that was almost inedible.

No Chinese spices, toilet was unclean.

Golden City Chinese Restaurant was money well spent. They give you this huge tray of food, including seaweed soup, rice and meat, salad, even fruits, like the one in the picture. The meat portion is also much, I couldn't finish mine. Had to get a takeaway which they provide free of charge with a nylon bag for you carry leftovers home. The only thing is that they only take cash and that is somewhat common to Chinese restaurant. So take cash along or you might have to go and withdraw at the ATM which is less than 2 minutes walk away.

Accueil très très très désagréable. Pour poser une question sur le menu ou prendre la commande, nous devions nous déplacer au comptoir, l'homme ne bougeait pas et répondait à peine. Quand nous avons choisi nos plats. Il nous ordonné de payer immédiatement. Alors que le paiement par carte était indiqué sur le site, il l'a refusé et a exigé du cash. Nous sommes partis sans manger !!! N'y allez surtout pas !!!

Food was good temperature and very tasty, nice portion

几乎每周都要来几次吃扬州炒饭。这家确实是中国味道了，炒饭香味浓郁，配料新鲜，味道很好。

Lost for words, 5th time coming here and definitely will be the last. Our food was brought out in take away containers which was then put onto plates. So we received take away food/costs and paid full price for dine in menu costs which is alot more. We were given cheap salt and pepper chicken which was cold dry and tasteless. Chef came out to use toilet and made a horrid throat noise which sound like he was being sick and he ate his OWN food lol. This restaurant has gone very down hill. Zero etiquette. Will never be coming here again.

Your food tastes like sadness, tiny portions, unappetising presentation and no flavour. The service is somehow worse. The owner in particular is defensive and rude about constructive criticism. This might be the reason why it was empty, so at least it's quiet. 2 star for quiet atmosphere.

Best restaurants in the world 😎😎😎

味道非常好，老板也很风趣，在学校附近可以吃到非常正宗的中国菜真是太好了

Very friendly staff and good food

Quality food, clean and a good price

Very good food and also polite service

If I'm brutally honest i thought the prawns in satay sauce at £9.90 for 4 prawns and lots of shredded cabbage was a tad expensive. The chow Mein and Singapore rice (spicy)is excellent and would certainly reorder that.

Poor service and take long waiting for the orders

We have ordered take away, the food was fantastic, especially the stir fried beef with broccoli, beef were lovely and tender, broccoli were crunchy and flavorful. Well worth every penny. The staffs were very friendly too, Will definitely come back again. 👍

Food was bland. Had to add salt and soya sauce at home myself. Paid extra for salt and pepper chips… they just tasted like soggy, cold frozen chips with a few pieces of veg in there. Not an ounce of flavour. £13.90 for a tiny Tupperware of vegan chicken which is from wing yip and they charge around £5 for the entire bag there which Golden City are getting at least 5 portions out. Absolute rip off merchants. No seasoning in sight. Avoid!!!!!

如果可以不给星，就連一星也不给了! 水餃£8.5，要醋另收£1，鳳爪一碟3小隻，是我吃过最小份量的，小籠包也不包舔科，星洲米用小碟上也是不滿的，從未見过份量这么小，一人量茶£2，要水就自行找杯後去Sink盛水，還要告訴你这褢是沒有招呼的(自助）。食物質素也是太爛了，像把急凍柜的食物翻熱，但又不懂控制時間，我真不知这店为何可以生存下去，可能店子不用付租

very pleasantly surprised to be honest-food was hot and tasty,my new chinese option now.

The guy behind the counter appears to be literally angry if you ask him any basic questions. They make you feel uncomfortable. I left within 10 minutes of arriving and went to Yakinori down the road. They need new front of house staff because the angry little guy behind the counter appears to be on the verge of a breakdown.

Nice place,food is tasty but a bit expensive,usually the restaurant is empty.

Ordered on Deliveroo! Food arrived an hour late, driver was waiting at the restaurant for 40 mins and told me chinese man on the counter didn't seem to care if delivery orders went out on time or not! Won't be ordering from here again!

Amazing quality food, well prepared and cooked, arrived warm and tasty. Great restaurant. Thanks!

Ordered on delivery, driver told me restaurant priorities eat in orders! My order was over an 2 hours late!! DO NOT ORDER ON DELIVERY EVER! food was okay but not worth the wait.

The food wasn't all that nice.

A bit more expensive than some of other restaurants in the area but worth it for the high quality food and quick delivery time.

Excellent customer service and nice food

This was a fraudulent transaction, so as you can imagine I’m very angry. Just eat and the restaurant were both very unhelpful 😤😤😤

I'm a vegetarian I do it for the attention but staff ignored me

Place was mostly empty but clean and food was quite expensive but it was tasty. We ordered sizzling mussels which were delicious and crispy fried beef with prawn crackers.

Did not deliver food to the right address

Filled a hole, soulless, about as much atmosphere as a deflated hot air balloon. Trade was brisk with drivers collecting takeaways, food nothing to write home about let alone think let's go back, more like let's not bother and go Hungary.

This order was place fraudulently on my just eat account by some low life in Birmingham, 80 miles from where I live. The restaurant were less than helpful and said it was up to just eat to sort who I cannot get hold of. They said they would deliver the food regardless of me saying I hadn’t ordered it so this fraudster has got away with £40 worth of food, I have not had to cancel the card used and no contact back from just eat despite the severity of the situation.

I use to really love this place, food was full of flavour. But recently had a bad experience. Ordered food to collect. Told to come straight away. Arrived waited 10 minutes. Got home food was cold. I live less then 5 minutes away. 30 pounds wasted.

I would urge this takeaway to develop some basic customer courtesy, to stop being so rude and try to improve food quality.....all in all, a very poor takeaway, seriously avoid even if it is the last one standing

Chinese food🥰, the set bowl is like school restaurant style🤣

Was amazed by their ETA and they delivered within the time frame given, great service Thank You.

Very ignorant people who work here, if you want a taste of the sea this is your place... the salt is ridiculous

Visited for a birthday meal. Reasonable prices, good service. Even adjusted dishes for us if they were too spicy for the kids. Will definitely visit again.

Food tastes off like the food is burnt. Also gives off a bad smell.

Absolutely rude. I order an egg fried rice for collection. I forgot my phone In the car and although I gave them my name they insisted on the order number, which is fine. After going to car and providing my order number he insisted on me showing him the order number on my phone. This was for two egg fried rice. Checked deliveroo policy this is not a requirement. What annoyed me the most how rude they were. I have no problem compling with any policy. But speak to me like I am human. I will not be going here again

破地方明明没有EASI的外卖却非要挂在线营业，下单半小时不接单垃圾tat

We ordered in resturant to take away and that is more expensive than order online! Cheating. The food tastes rubbish and actually make one member of my family feel nauseous. The price is nearly twice as much and the portion is tiny. Never go to this place!

The food was good, but the customer service was horrible. On Google, it says the restaurant is to close at 11:30, but on arrival they told us we couldn't eat because they were closing. We had arrived at 10pm. They served us like they didn't want us around and made us rush our food which completely destroyed the experience.

The food was very poor, was a waste of £52

Don’t come here, we paid 52 quid and it was the worst takeaway I’ve ever had. The ribs that came were just the shattered little bones of a dead roadside carcass. The salt and pepper chips were blander than my parents sex life. Do better golden city. A young girl is going hungry now!!!!

I've used this restaurant frequently for a year now, and I can safely say it's the best Chinese food in Selly Oak. The prices are very good and the service is always very quick. They have great lunchtime offers too.

Great food, quick delivery. One of my favourite Chinese takeaway.

Excellent taste, portion and quality

Great food, really enjoyed it and the service.

fantastic place to a meal in selly oak

My meal is missing. You wont answer your phone. You was so late delivering everything is cold. Not happy!

I rang the restaurant to ask why the food was so late he said that he had nothing to do with deliveries in an agressive way then hung up the phone. While that may be correct, is this the right attitude to have towards customers? In addition to this the lemon sauce I ordered came as jelly and not a liquid as it had obviously not yet been heated up correctly. I would not order from this shop again

Food was late so I called the restaurant and they informed me that the food had been ready for ages but no one came to pick it up. They offered to deliver the food to me themselves but I declined and opted to pick the food up myself. On my way to the restaurant I received a call from the restaurant saying that the delivery driver had just picked up the food and was on his way to my house. Not a very good experience at all.

Food arrived late, cold , and very very greasy 😡😡

Terrible - ordered vegan and they sent real chicken. Then laughed several times while I tried to communicate it to them. Will never use again.
