What User likes about Golden Island Chinese:
the taste is so wonderful, it's the best dinner I've been getting since I come to New Zealand. they are very traditional and suits for everyone. my friends like them too. they said they hadn't tasted better. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Golden Island Chinese:
I loved their roast duck! It's the only meal I found to have an authentic Chinese taste. I tried other dishes but didn't find them authentic and quite tasteless. However, if you go there on Friday around 6:30-7pm, there is no way you get served as there is a huge group of tourists coming from a bus trip coming to have dinner. I waited for 30 min and nobody took my order so we left! View all feedback.

Must visit the Chinese restaurant, the chef is made of seuan, so if they like spicy food, that is a must!

The woman at the front counter cannot be faulted and did her best as well as apologising for our long wait. However, the sweet and sour fish dish was simply 2 p...
