Golden Z - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Best duck in the area and just few blocks away from me strongly recommend this place read more

The best no frills chinese spot in Brooklyn Sheepshead Bay area located on Avenue U. I like a lot of their $8/$9/$10 specials. I usually ask the guy who cuts the meat up which is the best for the day. Their duck or roast pig over noodles or rice is my personal favorite. Their roast pig skin is soooo crispy. Their duck is super meaty and skin is super tasty. If you're into bitter melon, get it with beef or fish. Super bitter but that's what makes bitter melon good. Feels like home cooking for the unbeatable price. The workers here make you feel so good. If you're asian and understand the asian hospitality.. they call you pretty girl or handsome boy. HAHAHA way better than your own family gatherings. Don't expect this place to be beautiful because it is literally a no frills local spot. read more

This is terrible food. Completely overpriced (for what it is/I order) for very very bland food. I've been here twice and ordered many dishes of very standard items, which generally make me happy wherever I order them. I'm really not horrifically particular. I did order a specific dish with extra items, which were definitely not included. Let me reiterate how bland this food is. I ordered a fried rice which was basically all peas read more

If I could give Zero starts I most certainly would .Disappointed, outraged, and sick to my stomach when I found multiple roaches in the food. read more

I passed by this restaurant one day afternoon and was very hungry. Order a duck noodle, I thought it should be a fast food, finally it charged me $14 including tax and tip. It is too expensive and nothing special. No more going again. read more

Ordered take out here and the food was on the bland side. I got: Steam Egg Custard, Prawns with Walnuts in Mayo, Eggplant Garlic Sauce, Assorted Vegetables Buddhist Style, Steamed Grass Carp, and Clams with Black Bean Sauce I appreciate their effort but a little more flavor wouldn't hurt anybody. Maybe sticking to the classic roast meats and poultry or most popular dishes is best! read more

Golden Z - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This has become one of our go-to spots for authentic Chinese takeout. Pretty much anything you get here is legit and delicious. Last week we preordered a roast turkey for Thanksgiving at $8/lb. Unfortunately they didn't carve it for us (most restaurants don't) so it was a bit of a struggle and we had to reheat it but it was still good! read more

I don't know why people have bad reviews about Golden Z because it's sooo good. It's a local spot and you don't expect it to be gorgeous inside - just a mom and pops shop. The food is always good and my favorite is their chicken. it's $8 a box and you can't beat it. they asked me if I wanted to get just the rest of the chicken in my box for a few more bucks so I said yes of course. Call in if you don't want to wait but the orders are still pretty fast. read more

Golden Z - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My 1800th review goes to Golden Z! I've been coming here since I was a kid and have had many great lunchtime memories with my family here. It was also our go to anytime my parents didn't feel like cooking. I remember always getting the fried fish with tofu over rice, which I haven't had in a while so I definitely need to come in again and try that. On this most recent visit, we ordered some stir-fried lobster (for takeout - from the looks of it, it doesn't look like they're currently doing indoor dining anyway) and it was served in a tray, as opposed to those white cardboard containers. It was perfectly stir fried with morsels of ground meat, egg, and of course black bean. I'm glad they're still around and that we have a consistently good Chinese restaurant to go to. read more

As quintessential of an inexpensive, quick service, no-frills Cantonese restaurant as it gets. Golden Z has been a staple on the stretch of Avenue U's Chinatown for many years. Conveniently located just 1 block west of the Avenue U Q train station, I've been guilty on more than one occasion of hopping off the train just to satisfy my takeout rice box craving and then hopping right back on it to enjoy it at home. Some might know them as a different name because if you happen to catch their awning at jusssst the right angle in the evening, you'll notice the name "Triple Z" displayed, but then disappear at another angle, as though they purposely created a lenticular awning. I assure you they just pasted Golden Z over the old name. But to more important matters, their food! Out of all of the Chinese restaurants on Avenue U (and I've been to all of them at one point in time), Golden Z has always been to my go to spot for Cantonese rice boxes and, occasionally, congee and noodle dishes. Yes, mostly everything is fantastic, but my absolute must get and something that I could never resist is the FATTY roast pork and roast pig over rice here. The plate or rice box, depending on if you're dining in or taking out, always comes with a hefty amount of white rice and a side of boiled cabbage. If you're dining in, might I also recommend to throw in the occasional fried egg? You'll give me many thanks later on that pointer. You can add the fried egg when taking out as well, but it's just better when fresh. Also, do make a point to ask for FATTY meat, which as any prideful carnivore knows, is so much juicier, flavorful and, what feels like, wrongfully more delicious than lean meat. Lean meat is just honestly no fun to painfully chew through and try to get some flavor out of, so do your jaw and taste buds the favor of avoiding it when ordering the rice box. Besides the roast pork and roast pig over rice, their rice boxes from the kitchen are excellent too - beef and peas over rice, beef and tomato over rice, curry beef over rice, satay beef over rice, creamy corn over rice, filet fish over rice, etc, etc, etc. Their all good, but you'll just have to wait a bit if you order any of these, so call it in ahead of time if you can. Golden Z is not without some missteps though. One thing I have ordered and would avoid going forward is the pan fried noodles here. Don't get me wrong, I loveeeee pan fried noodles, but some restaurants get it right and some just don't. Golden Z is on the wrong side of that discussion. The noodles aren't very crispy and are actually quite soggy. In addition, flavor-wise, the sauce doesn't taste good. It might have something to do with the noodles, but the combination here has never worked. Despite the pan fried noodles being a no go, do come here for the rice boxes. The portions are huge and they satisfy my craving every single time. The fatty roast pork and roast pig plate is THE item to order, but if you're not into pork, they have more than enough items on their menu to make your head spin. read more

A old school hole in the wall. Makes pretty good Cantonese dishes. At lunchtime you can stuff yourself silly with the lunch specials for only $5-7. Lots of homey, old-fashioned comfort dishes like beef with tomato over rice, and fish filet with bitter melon. Wow, they even have squid with sour cabbage over rice. I haven't had that since I was a little kid. One of the ultimate comfort foods is congee $5. They have that here too. Even with frog legs for $7. An all-time favorite is getting roasted meats over rice. The roast duck is pretty good, but I find the soy sauce chicken a bit dry. They give you a very generous portion of meat with a side of veggies. All for under $7. Two more old home-style dishes are Steamed minced pork with salted fish, also Steamed tri-egg custard with minced pork. Very few places make these dishes. There is complimentary soup before the meal. The main language spoken here Cantonese but they also speak some English. Final note: It's not the best Cantonese food but its quick and decent enough to be good! read more

Got this place with my whole office and I was more than halfway through my General Tso's when a dead cockroach floated up. On taking the food back, we were told we were wrong, they don't have cockroaches and it must have been something else like a dried shrimp. The picture is part of the review, it is not a shrimp. We ended up getting a refund, but not before they asked if we wanted something else instead. I wasn't about to gamble on another dish based on their track record, but you have to respect the hustle in trying to avoid a refund. Would have left zero stars if possible. read more

Golden Z - Cockroach in General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

When you first walk in, you see that dine-in is no longer an option at this restaurant. Which is unfortunate because the takeout was tasty. Came in to order some roast park. Asked for half a pound. I didn't know what to expect until I got home in the evening. I opened up the box to sample and it was juicy sweet tenderness. I have to say I was surprised given the appearance of Golden Z. read more

They really should've gotten 0 stars being that they were so ill-prepared that we had to wait 1 extra hour for our order. We sat there like idiots after our order was placed only to realize 1 hour later that they'd totally forgotten our order. In fact they'd forgotten so many people that we couldn't even be mad because we were all hungry, wet (rainy outside) and just really want our food for Mother's Day. Eventually we made it out with our food. The lamb stew was undercooked and tofu skin still tough. The salt and pepper squid was overly salty. The Peking pork chop was requisite. And the other dishes nothing special but if u like Singapore- this is one place that doesn't dry out the shrimp. At $85 for 5 dishes- averaging $15.60 per dish- this was hardly a bargain. Honestly, if there were more choices on the Avenue U strip we'd prolly never come here again. read more

Not sure if normal but we bought 1 LB of Cha Siu, pretty standard stuff. However, it wasn't until we got home and opening the box did we notice the color and texture looked really off. It seemed old and stale. The texture was almost like beef jerky and it did not have much taste. It was really disappointing and I did not enjoy or want to leave this review. To be fair, the manager/owner did offer us refund or exchange if we brought it back to them, but we live far away and can not make the roundtrip there. (Extra star for that) We tried to eat it but it is textured like dry beef jerky and tastes nothing like cha siu. It's like old stale meat. read more

the worst food ever , I don't even know what this place sells but this is not cook food is more like a poultry shop. I went in to ask for some fried chicken to have for dinner and when I got home and open up the container the whole chicken was raw, I try to take a bite from a piece and it was so hard and the taste of raw meet was horrible, hard to shew .waited for the next day to call , So I called and asked for a refund. Since it was a long commute from brooklyn to north jersey . So I called them and trying to explain the situation the lady hang up on me the first time and called a second time and asked to speak to a manger or the owner and they say it wasn't there so they transfer me with a guy and xplained what was the situation so I asked for the money back and that I wanted to get the same chicken but well done and he wasn't sure giving back both so after some argument he finally said that he'll be given the money and the chicken the 2 days after so when I get to the place and I greeted and trying explaining why I was there she started to scream and the look in her face said it all .shes the cashier lady was so mean and rood and disrespectful not to mention the rest of the crew they were mad screaming and cursing in their language like crazy . So i had to ask for my money back and they weren't nice same amount of chicken but cook , but for some reason they ended up giving a much worse raw chicken as it shows in the picture I added. So had to take that raw chicken again and my money back cause I came all the way from Jersey and just wasted more money on transit but such a horrible experience with people so unprofessional and no manners they were all screaming all over the place from the youngest to the oldest . And that lady cashier should go and find something else to do cause she has no talent to be in the front she needs a husband desperately cause she was so mad when it was their fault. So people I will definitely not recommend this place in the entire planet . WORST PLACE EVER! EVER! Zero start if was an option. read more

Golden Z is a smallish neighborhood restaurant specializing in Cantonese meats and noodles. We generally choose Golden Z over Season Restaurant across the street when we want to avoid weekend dim sum crowds. The portions here are tasty, large, and the prices reasonable. Food: OK (3.5 of 5). Very Good, actually, but very salty. Most of the food that we've had at Golden Z is well-executed but the restaurant seems to use salt a little too liberally to both enhance and ameliorate different flavors. For example, you'll notice the natural bitterness in bitter melon and in mustard greens less at Golden Z than at other places, because of the salt. The latter dish does have ginger to further nuance the taste of the mustard greens. Service and Atmosphere: OK (3 of 5). Service is friendly and prompt. Tea is complimentary. Complimentary daily soup (lai tong; 例湯) during lunch -- a pork-bone based soup that is flavorful, though noticeably salty. There is one small unisex bathroom that is adequately clean but could be better maintained. Value: Very Good (4 of 5). Overall: Good (3.5 of 5). read more

Fast, easy, cheap, local and amazingly good. Can't get this good chinese local food anywhere else in the area for the unbeatable price. Whenever I miss a nice home cooked meal, this is my go to spot. They also have congee here which hits the spot whenever I'm sick or it's cold outside. read more

I would like to thank Jonathan T. for introducing me to this place. I don't think I've ever been out in this neighborhood in my life so the odds of my being here regularly are incredibly slim. But after a few beers at Coney Island brewery we were both starving and I was under a very limited budget. Insert - "I know a place that serves Chinese food for like $5". Really it's Cantonese Chinese and I rarely have tried that or legit hole in the wall mom and pop old school chinese places. But he was right. You can get a full meal here for $5.50. Oddly most of their americanized dishes are twice as expensive. I thought about noodles and those were like $8-10. Egg rolls - like $5 for two of them. Dumplings - higher than normal (you get the picture). But if you order any of their delicious meats and treats over white rice - $5.50-6.50. They first bring out a bowl of some kind of fragrant broth with chinese cabbage I think and complimentary salted peanuts and a pot of tea. If my $5.50 meal starts off with free food, this has already become a huge winner for me. I went with shrimp and some kind of egg sauce and I think my friend got beef intestines with peppers? I tried it. It wasn't actually too bad. It just tasted like fatty beef. The shrimp and egg sauce was a little too runny for me and bland but they give a copious amount of food for the value and I went home with leftovers. So really my meal was $2.75, hotdog. The desert they also gave us in the end was a really nice touch. However, I personally thought it was disgusting. It tasted like beans and tapioca and fructose corn syrup and I was having none of that. But I totally appreciated the gesture from the kind restaurant people. read more

This place was my go-to spot for takeout. Keyword is "was" because I'm not sure if Covid or their start of online ordering, but the quality and value is gone. Two meats + rice is now $8! Pre-covid price was $5.50. Also, I was given day old, reheated char siew (can clearly tell bc I hate reheated char siew). In the 10+ years of eating their food, they never served reheated char siew or any roast meats. Not gonna be going here anymore. Feels like they sold out. read more

I love this place! I have been coming here for years. Hands down, favorite authentic Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. After trying this place, I have not since stepped into an American-Chinese takeout place or restaurant. The place is relatively small, but I rarely have to wait for a table. The staff is also very nice and welcoming. Their duck soup is absolutely to die for. I dream about it. Also their chicken fried rice, Wonton soup, beef with ginger is great! Highly, highly recommended!! read more

The only reason I went to this place is due to the positive reviews. I decided to try it out. 1) They charged me over $25 for an order of Lomein and Chicken Broccoli. The menu did not reflect the prices charged. I was over charged. 2) The chicken and broccoli was tasteless to say the least. The meat was gamey and had a funny aftertaste, almost as if it was mixed with a seafood dish when cooking. I threw it in the garbage after a few bites. 3) the Lomein was even worse. Absolutely tasteless and dry with light and dark colored meat. The biggest waste of $25 dollars. I will never go to this place again. The cherry on top was the 1 tiny little container of soy sauce that I was given when I asked for soy sauce. read more

I placed a first time order for pick up, which I picked up as soon as it was ready. I ordered all the most popular meat dishes to give them a good try. $80 worth of ICE COLD food! AWFUL. I had to reheat the food myself just to make it edible. The duck was even cold, and the skin was SOFT. I couldn't believe it. Ended up throwing that away. I don't know what happened. They have such great reviews, but I will never eat from here again. read more

My favorite hole-the-wall Cantonese restaurant. I love the roast duck, soy sauce chicken, roast suckling pig, and roast pork. The pork and preserved egg congee is wonderful, especially on a cold day or with an upset tummy. Other favorites here are the hot peppers stuffed with minced shrimp, the BBQ wings, the sautéed mustard greens, and a dish not on the menu that they make on request - steamed tofu with black mushrooms. No one there speaks very good English, which really irks my husband, but I don't mind and can always make myself understood. Good to eat in or take out. CASH ONLY. read more

I love the diversity of items for delivery available. Of course it may take some time tasting what they are offering for delivery.

I don't know who's rating this restaurant, but "Do Not Be Mislead" their food is the is the worst I have ever eaten in sixty-five years. The Egg Foo Young was just scattered in a plastic container. I went to serve it and could not find one whole patty. It was so light and so filled with bean sprouts and pieces of pork there was hardly any eggs. I also had the Peaking Duck and it was not all it was Quacked up to be. Looked and taste good, but it was so tough you could only suck on that duck. Pork fried Rice had more hard peas then I have ever seen. I could go on but for what. I should have listen to a few of the bad reports I read, but the pictures was so tempting and irresistible. Save yourself time and money and don't be taken like myself. My whole family was disappointed. read more

This place is so amazing that I had to leave my first yelp review for it. I was on the Ave for some errands and was craving Chinese food so I decided to come in here. An American-Chinese man was behind the counter who spoke fluent English and was extremely friendly and helpful. I was worried upon entering I would have a hard time communicating with them as it is extremely authentic. I ordered the Shrimp Balls & Plain Rice Noodles ( both for under $10 which is AMAZING.) which is a MUST TRY!! My mother loved them as well and she even has a very basic palette. We are super happy and will definitely be returning. Thank you! read more

I am pretty sure I wrote a review for this place last week or so but the review looks like it disappeared. So I am writing the review again. I have been to this Chinese restaurant many times both as sit down customer and as take out. As you might know already I have high standards for Chinese food. With that said I give this place 4.5 stars. This is probably as good as it gets in Ave U Brooklyn. My go to Chinese restaurant in Ave U. Recently went here last week or two with my mom for lunch. The food never disappoints. My favorite are their salt and pepper pork on rice, eggplant and slice chicken on rice, three precious ingredients on rice, egg with lobster sauce on rice. But I am sure just about any thing you order from there will taste amazing. The place is small and only have a couple of big tables with some small tables but if you don't have a big party of people it's worth going to. The prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place if you are ever around Ave U near the Q Train station. read more
