Golden City III — Restaurant in Hampton

I used to get food from Golden City often when I lived off King Street and worked at Fort Monroe. They used to have the best Moo Goo Gai Pan -- one of my favorite dishes.

This is the first time I went to Golden City since moving back to Hampton in 2019. I wanted some Moo Goo Gai Pai and thought I would go back to Golden CIty.

The Moo Goo Gai Pan was not anything like what I expected. It was nothing like any other Moo Goo Gai Pan I have ever eaten and not in a good way. The diss was almost all mushrooms and only 2 baby corn, 4 pieces of cabbage and 3 slivers of carrots. The dish was almost all mushrooms and a small amount of thinly sliced chicken. The sauce was brown which I never saw in this dish before. All I could taste was the mushrooms and they had obviously been more than a few days old. I once left cooked mushrooms in the fridge for a week and then cooked with them. These mushrooms were worse than those week-old ones I ate. I bit into one of the baby corn and gagged. It had a very sour taste not sweet like baby corn normally is. I smelled the other baby corn and it smelled like a dirty sock.

This was the worse Moo Goo Gai Pan I have ever had. In fact, it was the worse Chinese carry out meal I have ever had, I don't understand all the good reviews for this place. The food sure changed since I was last there and $24 dollars for Moo Goo Gai Pan and small Chow Mei Fun. Not even a good deal if the food had been okay. The Chow Mei Fun was good but does not merit giving this place more than 2 stars. Definitely not worth the...

… I stopped by here on my way to Williamsburg.. I’m not from the area.. but I really had my heart set on some Chinese food.. I was drawn to this spot because they have 4.4 stars.. and I have no clue why.. this was one of the worse Chinese food places I’ve ever had in my life. I ordered 2 large shrimp fried rice, 4 chicken wings, 1 small shrimp and broccoli, and 2 egg rolls for my 3 kids and I. We love shrimp fried rice.. and we started with that, and the chicken.. the rice was over cooked, mushy, and dry… the shrimp actually seemed fresh.. the added egg tasted weird, the chicken was fatty, and did not taste fresh AT ALL.. the egg rolls were ok.. and after all 4 of us collectively confirmed how disgusting the shrimp fried rice and chicken was, I had no desire to even try the shrimp and broccoli.. I ended up throwing the shrimp n broccoli away without even tasting it. Not long after my kids and I ate the shrimp friend rice and chicken, our stomachs started to hurt. You would think after buying all that food from this establishment, they would make sure I enjoyed it. Big mistake , $40 WASTED,...

This place is the closest thing to a NY Chinese food place. Everything is always consistently good at a decent price.

Updates as of 02/25/22: I’m more than sad to say this but the quality of the food here has definitely gone downhill. Our regular order of 4 wings and fried rice have been changed completely— the sizes of the wings are comparable to pigeon-sized wings plus they don’t fill out the entire plate when giving rice anymore. Our last 2 visits, the fried rice also tasted a bit burnt and the texture of the onions were a bit mushier than normal. I don’t know if they changed their supplier or cooks but I’m sad to say this this place isn’t our normal go-to anymore.

I still love y’all but quality needs to be...
