Gold City Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Queensland

Just awful. Hot sour soup tasted like stock thickened with corn starch with a bit of lemon juice thrown in and looked like dishwater. Just woeful. Mixed entree was an overcooked greasy mess. Sweet and sour chicken was possibly the worst Chinese dish my wife or I have ever tried. A thin soupy sauce which was indistinguishable from the juice from tinned pineapple. Sickly sweetness was all we could taste. Fried rice was ok, but no more. It just seemed like Steamed rice with a small amount of veges tossed through. It was difficult to see if it had actually been fried. Steamed duck in mushroom was at least edible, but bland and dull. All restaurants have the occasional bad day, but this food was just awful. This wasn't a bad day, this is just poor food...

It pains me to give a bad review but this was honestly the worst Chinese we've ever eaten. We paid $65 for family pack with 2 extra entrees and unfortunately not even 1 item was nice. My family was so disappointed with the entire meal. The Chicken and Cashew went into the bin - insipid bland mess. Sweet and sour pork was at least edible but not overly enjoyable with watery tasteless sauce. Only thing worse than the food was the "20 mins" (which was well over an hour) delivery time and the multiple calls to reconfirm incorrect order information (new staff member was reason given) and my follow up call to see if our order was actually arriving tonight. Think my son's comment "should have got...

Prices are higher than the menu advertised. Not surprising since the cost of food has raised, though it would have been nice to know. $81 later and the food was extremely disappointing. Spring rolls and dim sims with no sauces at all. Soggy sweet and sour pork that was similar to eating a sponge soaked in sugar water. I am not sure what meat was in the steak and black bean sauce, but it didn’t smell or taste like beef or lamb??? The fried rice tasted more like boiled rice. I wouldn’t normally bother to leave a review like this, but we can rarely afford take away food and we feel sad that we wasted...
