Customer reviews for Golden City are strikingly polarized, presenting vastly different experiences. One reviewer emphatically advises others to "Avoid this place like the Plague!" Their negative experience began with finding "2 boxes of used frying oil just sitting on the sidewalk next to the front door" which smelled awful. Upon entering, they were "stunned by how filthy-dirty the place was," describing it as a "dump" with everything "all over the place." Despite their better judgment, they placed a small food order which they found "not edible" and threw away. They detailed the filthiness of the "dirty walls, floors, windows, kitchen area" and could not find anything positive to say, vowing never to return and strongly recommending against it. This reviewer also believed the health department should investigate and described the menus as "unorganized and disgusting" with prices changed using "white-out and a pen," which they had never seen before, reiterating their warning not to go to Golden City.
Conversely, another customer had a highly positive opinion, stating, "This is far by the best ‘Takeout’Chinese food that I have found in the area since moving from New York a few years ago." They claimed to taste the "quality ingredients" and notice the difference in "preparation versus other classic takeout joints." They used the "wonton soup" broth as a prime example of the "high-quality preparation and ingredients." While acknowledging that opinions may vary ("To each their own"), this reviewer wanted to "show some respect to these guys" for providing what they consider a "pretty nice and important thing every now and then"—quality Chinese takeout.
Based on these reviews, Golden City in Hockessin, DE, elicits very strong but opposing reactions. One customer experienced extreme disgust with the cleanliness of the restaurant and the inedibility of the food, strongly advising against visiting and even suggesting a health inspection. On the other hand, another customer considers their takeout to be the best in the area, praising the quality of ingredients and preparation. Local users considering Golden City for meal delivery should be aware of these starkly different experiences and may want to weigh the potential for high-quality takeout against serious concerns about cleanliness and food quality expressed by another reviewer.
The environment is described as "filthy-dirty" by one reviewer, with used frying oil outside. Another review focuses solely on the quality of the takeout food, not mentioning the restaurant environment. Services primarily include meal delivery and likely takeout. Key features are reportedly high-quality takeout food with noticeable fresh ingredients and careful preparation (according to one review), particularly exemplified by the wonton soup broth. However, a major concern raised by another reviewer is the extreme lack of cleanliness of the restaurant itself and inedible food. No specific promotional information is available in the provided text.

Avoid this place like the Plague! When first arriving at the restaurant, I walk to the front door to find 2 boxes of used frying oil just sitting on the sidewalk next to the front door. The oil smelled awful, I figured they must've recently changed it. After walking inside,I was stunned by how filthy-dirty the place was. Everything was all over the place, what a dump! It was getting late, so I decided to place a small order of food, against my better judgment. That was a big mistake, the food was not edible. I threw everything ordered in the trash. The whole place was just filthy, dirty walls, floors, windows, kitchen area, I can-not say anything nice positive any this place, other than I'll never be back again! I do-not recommend this place to anyone. Any business owner who runs a business like this deserves to be out of business. The health department should definitely investigate this place. I decided to post their menu on here so everyone can see how unorganized and disgusting this place actually is. They can-not even spend money to purchase new menus, so they use white-out and a pen on all of the menus to change the prices. I've never seen anything like this before, so I just had to warn everyone who's considering possibly going here, i have one word for you, DON'T! Have a Blessed day....
This is far by the best “Takeout”Chinese food that I have found in the area since moving from New York a few years ago. I don’t know about you all, but I can taste the quality ingredients can tell the difference in preparation versus other classic takeout joints. If you need a quick easy example, get some of their wonton soup and look at the broth. That alone is an example of the high-quality preparation and ingredients that goes into the food from this restaurant. Hey…, To each their own, but I just wanted to show some respect to these guys because in my world some Chinese takeout is a pretty nice and important thing every now and then.
Don't judge a book by its cover, this applies to this restaurant, they don't have fancy renovation but they do use quality food material, I can tell because I traveled around the country to do work with my camper van I sure eat a lot of take out foods.
Haven’t been here in months due to having a bad experience. I decided to give them another shot since I was near by. The experience was worse. Food had no flavor general tso chicken was brown every dish was horrible. So bad my kids didn’t even eat it and they love Chinese food. Their establishment is also falling apart looks very dirty inside and unsanitary. I will continue to go to new dragon for my Chinese.
Ignore the reviews of the elitist snobs that unfortunately come along with the restaurant being located where it is. We've been customers of this place for over 10 years and refuse to go to any other Chinese restaurant in the immediate DE/PA area. This place is simply great. Affordable, expected quality for the price. The family that owns the place is always so kind and thankful for choosing them to dine with. They've never not accommodated a request, and have never made a mistake on our orders. Only once was my order not ready on time, and I was apologized to multiple times when it happened. Love this place and will continue to visit for years to come!
