Golden City - Santa Cruz

This was the family go-to for many years. It was fine for Americanized Chinese food and we enjoyed it. I believe they changed ownership because the last and FINAL time we went for takeout there it was HORRIBLE, literally inedible and not at all what we were used to. The worst was the Honey Walnut Prawns which were heavily breaded fried with a drizzle of some strange pink sauce before it was lightly deep fried and tossed with a delicious sauce! . We ate the pot stickers which were burnt but threw the rest away.

Food is great, it is well seasoned and not bland. Portions and pricing are good as well. Would highly recommend eating here.

I love Golden China. Their food is fresh, hot and tastes out of this world.. and they have never let me down. Ive been going here fot over 20 years. They are generous with their portion size. I always have enough left over to have another meal, the following day. Keep up the good work, and a big thank you. If you love chinese food, come to Golden China. You wont be dissapointed. I will be going there tomorrow and its all your fault. Lol

Great food here. There is a pleasant, clean dining room, but not much atmosphere. So it's especially good for takeout. Nice folks.

I did not realize they have new owners. I've been getting food here for years and it was always good. The service was good but the restaurant itself looked like it was in the middle of an unfinished remodel. The food we got was also very bland. Unfortunately their prices skyrocketed under the new ownership and at the new prices I expect food with much more flavor. Too bad.
