Golden City - Chelsea

Good food, good service?. Large selection to choose from. The staff wore masks. Little restaurant. During the slow hours, not long wait, no problems.

I have been eating at this establishment for about a year now and I feel that I have enough experience to write a fair and accurate review for this restaurant. For starters, the restaurant has been purchased by a new owner and is now under new management. This has brought some changes that has mostly not been for the better. The wonderful egg rolls that the previous owner had is now gone and replaced with very greasy, store-bought, frozen egg rolls. They in my opinion are really terrible. The portions have been significantly cut down which takes away the great value you got with the previous owners. A lot of the dishes have been kept the same but others have not. What has improved is the turn around times for the food when you place an order. What used to be a long wait is now an instantaneous pickup. The staff is for the most part friendly and attentive and you never feel ignored when you go in there. The prices have stayed about the same but as mentioned before the portions have been drastically cut down so in reality there has been a price increase. The restaurant is very close and convenient and the closing hours are quite late which helps when you don't have time to make it to the other places that want to close by 8PM. The food is very average for a Chinese restaurant and not spectacular. You're not going to be blown away by it's quality but you're not probably going to be disappointed either. They run a clean, straightforward establishment so if you live in the area it would be worth a trip over there. If not, then maybe consider some other alternatives.

The dining room is open but realize that you will still be served in plastic and Styrofoam take-out containers and plastic utensils. Drinks are bottled, there 's no hot tea (water was Great Value). The young girl that served us was very sweet and friendly but not an experienced server. The food was fresh and tasty as always but we won 't be back for dine-in. A little disappointed as we were really looking forward to a nice little night out but had to ask for utensils and ate without plates. Not saying don 't go, just know what to expect. Can 't understand why we couldn 't use actual silverware and real dishes.

Yikes, not sure they really even try. The sesame chicken was overcooked and was mostly breading. The bland mush that accompanied the chicken. I didn't try the egg roll as it just looked like it was overdone I didn't want to offend my pallette anymore than I already had. Maybe the sushi but not me.

Absolutely delicious, served hot, and accompanied by a smile. I absolutely love this restaurant! If you're in Chelsea and looking for some great takeout, you won't be disappointed with their extensive menu. All your favorites are available here!
