The place had plenty of simple, but clean seating indoors. They also seemed to do a good bit of both drive through and take away business. Placed my order at the counter (General Tso's chicken) and it was brought out to me pretty quickly. The food itself was piping hot, and was good, not great. It seemed heavily seasoned (slat, MSG?) which was a bit overpowering. It worked for me, but I don't think I'd seek out China City again.

THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY! CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!…read more 8/20/2026 was my first and last visit to Nam Fong. The experience started off poorly. Before I even paid, the woman at the counter asked if I wanted a receipt, which I found unusual. I said yes, but after charging my card $54.64 (plus the tip I added, bringing the total to $60), she never gave me one. While waiting for my takeout order, I started thinking the total seemed unusually high. I grabbed a menu and added up my order myself, only to realize I had been overcharged. When she brought my food out, I asked if the receipt was in the bag. She said yes and essentially rushed me out the door. When I got to my car, there was no receipt in the bag, so I went back inside and asked for an itemized receipt. I explained that I had been overcharged. She then said she had accidentally charged me twice for a beef and broccoli plate. I only received one beef and broccoli in my order. She offered to give me the difference in cash, but when I asked what my card would ultimately be charged, she became confused again and wouldn't give me a straight answer. She continued trying to rush me out, which made the situation even more frustrating. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable leaving the tip I had originally written on the receipt. I had to take the store copy and cross out the tip before finally leaving. Unfortunately, the food itself was also disappointing. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience from start to finish, and I regret not going to my usual Chinese takeout spot, China One on Cortez Road, which I highly recommend.

The Golden Wok restaurant is an embarrassment to Asian Cuisine and Asian Culture. The food is disgusting and the staff is rude. The best New York Style Chinese restaurants in Manatee County are: 1) China Express 7428 Cortez Rd W, Bradenton, FL 34210-2444 2) Chung Shing 8951 US Hwy 301 N Parrish, FL 34219 Take it from a Native NewYorker. read more

The taste is ok, with a hint of sweetness. Despite the name 'chicken cubes', the chicken is sliced. The short ribs are fine. The last bite of a green bell pepper tasted weird. When we got there at 5, the place was rather empty. After waiting for a minute, we sat ourselves by the cashier and directed traffic till the place was packed and humming 30 minutes later, and an additional lady in a black dress joined. Two ladies serve the room in red tops; both speak Cantonese. One really looks like a Cantonese. Their take-out is popular too, non-stop. Cantonese pop is playing in the background. We walked the strip mall before heading to the opera. The area is full of bars, restaurants, and more.
