Beef chow fun
Lei A.

My husband was wanting some lo mein this time so we ordered lo mein, Cantonese chicken and of course egg foo young. From the time we walked in they were busy with a few birthday parties going on, but they were on it with seating us and taking our orders in a timely manner. The lo mein had great flavors and cooked good. The Cantonese chicken was in gravy which was pretty good, but same as the egg foo young. We learned that there is definitely a difference in their menus so the next time we come here, we know.

Tried multiple things here and every thing had a different unique tastes- in a good way. Ordered whole fried fish- never had it before- was Amazing! Definitely gonna go back to try new things.

Beef Chow Fun
Meredith L.

We have only been to Golden City two or three times, but it has been really great each time! This is one of the most authentic Asian restaurants we have found in the area! The food was fresh and came out around the same time. Our waitress was nice and took good care of us. The service was also pretty quick even though it was busy inside! They have the large circular tables with the Lazy Susan tray! The prices are reasonably priced for what you get. We brought home a lot of leftovers, too! We will definitely be back!

House fried rice
Sebina M.

Updating my review from three years ago, and I'm happy to say Golden City is as good as ever. We recently went for our family Sunday brunch and ordered a variety of dishes. The Peking duck was a standout favorite, along with the ribs and beef chow fun noodles. We enjoy eating family style, and the service was welcoming and friendly as always. We also tried one of their sizzling plates, which came out perfectly sizzling and was a hit with everyone. Whether you dine in or order to go, Golden City won't disappoint!

Are you still We came in after a baseball game and ordered our food. Both dishes were okay. They were not busy at all and it was a slow time of the day. The food isn't bad but it's not spectacular either. The prices are good and so are the servings. Staff was friendly as well.

Stir Fried Green Beans
Angela T.

I went here to celebrate a birthday celebration with a big group of people. The workers were quick to bring the food out, but the flavor profile was missing. The best dish was the stir fried shrimp. Green beans could be seasoned more,.. as with the fried rice, egg drop soup, and the lo mein. The stir fried beef wasn't too bad. For some reason, some tables had different dishes. I would give them another chance as this place seems pretty popular and can be busy.

Sizzling Chicken
Natasha M.

This is an authentic Chinese dining experience with traditional dishes and decor. The sizzling chicken. Is reminiscent to the General Tso's chicken found at other establishments. The egg drop soup and chicken fried rice were filling and tasted as expected. Service was good as well.

Fried Tofu
Emm B.

The food here was pretty good. Fried tofu, walnut shrimp, and peaking pork with red sauce were all good choices. The ONLY reason I'm scoring the way I am, was because the peaking pork came out real hot! Almost like scorching hot (microwaved?). Or, it's just hella fresh! I feel like I have to go there a second time, which we are, to get the real reviews. BUT do check them out. This place had an atmosphere of homie and comfort. The staff I feel are family and so you kind of get that feel as you eat there. I look forward to our next dinner there and updating ya'll.

Human Chicken lunch plate
Reginald B.

Solid Chinese food. I will say the building had a wet smell but it may have been the fish pond. We had General Chos and Hunan Chicken. Extremely reasonably priced.

Reasonably priced lunch.
Toya J.

I had the pepper steak lunch with egg drop soup. It was delicious and well worth the price. I have enough for lunch tomorrow.

This was so good and memorable. I came for Lunar New Year with some friends and we did family style…read moreso we could try everything. I LOVED how the food had spice but it wasn't overwhelming. It added to the flavor without being the only thing to the food. I think everyone's favorite thing of the night was the Sichuan Mala Dry Pot. It had amazing flavor, good spice, and everything in it was just awesome. I genuinely hope it's on the regular menu but I'm not seeing it on the online menu so it will just have to haunt my dreams. T.T I really liked this place and I cannot wait to return with more friends and try more things. To try: Mapo Tofu Traditional Kung Pao Chicken Peony Chicken Appetizer: Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce Edamame Beef Spicy Crispy Chicken Sichuan Style Fried Rice Dandan Noodles Spicy Dry Noodles Loved: - Lunar New Year: Sichuan Mala Dry Pot (ABSOLUTE FAV) Liked: - Lunar New Year: Homestyle Whole Fish - Lo Mein: chicken, shrimp, and extra spice Ok: - Tea: Jasmine - Lunar New Year: Garlic Pork Ribs Disliked: - Lunar New Year: Four Happiness Meatball

When placing this order, I was looking for NY style Chinese and this seemed to have everything I…read morewas looking for on the menu. We ordered : Beef Lo Mein - the noodles were fine but the beef was terrible. The consistency of the meat felt like you're eating chewed up gum. They did follow my request on not adding veg to the lo mein so that's what earned them the second star on the review. General Tsos Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken, both were fine. Very standard but the sweet and sour chicken was a bit on the dry side but it's okay. Fried scallops were fine. A bit dry but not bad. Chicken with broccoli - I specially asked for this in garlic sauce and they did just that so thank you so much, this goes into the second star of the review. This meal was fine as well. The shrimp roll was absolutely terrible. It was probably the worst egg roll/shrimp roll I have ever had in my life. The cabbage tasted like some kind of cleaning product or disinfectant. The shrimp was absolutely disgusting and the size of my thumbnail. It was just -1000/10 Overall this is a 2.5-3/5 for me, but I will not be ordering from here again.

Shuōdàodǐ: Not worth a special trip but if you happen to be nearby the food is very good…read more They have spent not nearly a cent on making the place a sit down restaurant as this place is based on a high volume, take-out, money making venture--but there are four tables for your dining pleasure. Do not expect table service but if you are nice you just may get it. You also get some choice: You can either get an egg roll, or, a bottle of water if you dine in! Food takes just a bit longer than you might expect for a takeout place, but, the important part--it is worth the wait--which is the reason for the extra star. The prices are very reasonable, almost cheap! If you truly enjoy take out Chinese food, this place is worth a stop and may become your "go to".

Firstly, I want to thank China Spring for expanding their Uber Eats delivery area to include where…read moreI live. Please don't change it or I will be very sad but will make the trek to Cordova for your tasty snacks. Since the pandemic began (yes it is still happening for all you non-believers), husband and I have ordered from every restaurant in our service area. A few weeks ago, China Spring popped up. We love Chinese food and supporting small local restaurants, so we ordered. Y'all... This is the best Chinese food I've ever had in Memphis. I've ordered and dined in at a lot of places, so I'm an expert in this, please trust me. You can tell that they put their heart and soul into their food. Every single bite is fresh and delicious. I don't normally like dumplings (my husband does), but China Spring dumplings are the best I've ever had. I liked them so much I'd probably order them myself instead of just trying my husband's order occasionally. Their General Tso's tastes like it were made by the General himself. I don't normally order seafood at restaurants unless they are, well, a good seafood restaurant, because I'm super picky. But my husband ordered the Dragon Phoenix, so I tried one of the shrimp. OMG YALL. These shrimp are the best - succulent if I say so myself. I don't know what kind of wizardry you guys are doing over there at China Spring, but how can a restaurant 30 MINUTES AWAY, still deliver HOT food?! Another thing about China Spring is its consistency. We've ordered twice so far and both times it was 5-star quality food! No hit and miss with this amazing place. I'm almost done, I promise. I have to highlight the amount of food they give you. The last time we ordered, it consisted of 3 combo platters, Wonton soup, and dumplings. This amount lasted us 8 MEALS. Yes, EIGHT. Quality and Quantity!! Now for China Springs highest compliment... My husband is a chronic complainer... He has only said amazing things about their food. I asked him to summarize his thoughts in 3 words, he said, "Amazing Chinese Food." Y'all.. He doesn't even think I'm that amazing and I'm his wife.

This used to be the best place around for Chinese food and after a couple of disappointing meals a…read morefew years ago we tried a new place that isn't as convenient. Well today I decided to give them a try again and while it wasn't bad is definitely wasn't great. My general tso chicken was reasonably tasty but the chicken was so tough and stringy I will be flossing chicken from between my teeth for hours. Not sure if was just way over cooked, freezer burned or both but either way it was not good. Definitely a take out place thought they do have a few tables in there. Summary: disappointed and won't be back anytime soon.

The…read moresushi is ridiculously fresh, perfectly rolled, and basically disappears the second it hits the table. And the fried rice? Absolute flavor bomb--savory, buttery, and loaded with that classic hibachi magic that makes you keep saying "just one more bite"... about 12 times. 10/10 would absolutely demolish this meal again. If you leave hungry, that's honestly a personal choice.

The staff here were incredibly friendly and we got our food with a quick turnover considering how much sushi our table ordered. 3. The prices here are VERY great. You can get very affordable sushi here. 4. They were open when neighboring sushi restaurants were closed. (Midday between lunch & dinner) That said, there are no frills here. We got the very basic sushi which were $4.99 a roll (!!!!) or 2 for $9.99 and that came with a miso soup! We tried: cucumber roll, California roll, spicy crunchy crab, and spicy California roll. They were all priced within that price range I mentioned and we were happy with nearly everything. Know that when they say a cucumber roll-- it's literally JUST cucumber inside rice & seaweed. I did not expect that and wouldn't get that one again. Also, the spicy sauce that came on their spicy rolls was overpowering in a bad way. Next time I'll get it on the side or without the sauce all together... you just couldn't taste the sushi or anything except the sauce. (And there was way too much sauce on it, IMO.) All in all? We'd come back again. My daughter really loved the artwork on the walls of the restaurant so huge kudos to whoever did the art inside because it really is breathtaking.
