Beef brisket was outstanding as well as the fried dumplings and Rice noodles. Not the most upbeat environment, but I didn't come to make friends and what I did come for didn't disappoint, very flavorful and filling. Getting the bill delivered was a bit of a challenge, but if you're looking to be left alone and have the time. This is the place to be in Chinatown!

FOOD Stir-Fried Dried Green Beans ($19.95) The winner is this category would be Tropical Island Restaurant on Shelbourne; however, The Cozy Place offering would be close behind it. Decent with some crunch still; you can get it spicy or not. Ma Po Tofu ($19.95) You can order it meatless or minced pork; it's somewhat authentic. It does have some heat to it (for those sensitive to spice); however, it's pretty solid! === 3. SERVICE Service was good and professional on call-in, payment, wait, questions around the menu, and when the order was ready. English was fluently spoken by the lady working the front and the man cooking the dishes behind her. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a long, narrow restaurant - your group of 6, maybe 8 could fit at one table in the front. For everyone else, you're accommodated in tables of 2's or 4's along the wall. If bringing a wheelchair or baby stroller, I would stick to the table in the front. Parking is all metered on the street - note that the city has their parking enforcement office basically across the way working until 8pm, so put payment into the meters upfront even if you're coming by to do a quick pickup!

Fresh, crisp vegetables in all of the dishes we got. We ordered two items and brought home enough food for another meal. (So sorry I didn't snap photos of the overflowing plates of food--next time! For now see photos on the menu pictures I snapped.) We wanted loads of veggies and got them with the Chicken Chop Sue and the Cantonese Chrissy Noodles. Where we live it is impossible to get pan fried chow mein noodles, so these were such a treat with bbq pork, shrimp, squid and chicken plus veggies. Both dishes came with a brown sauce, though both unique in flavor. I so thrilled we found this place and I am already making plans to take family and friends back. My only issue was I did not care for the squid on the noodle dish; the shrimp were fabulous though.

Golden City is a real good place to dine: - Hot & Sour soup: This place has about the absolute best hot & sour we've ever had anywhere. - bbq pork: a traditionally prepared dish that was very good. - Fried dumplings: Not the greatest dumpling I've ever had...but good enough. They had a real good dipping sauce to accompany. - duck: This duck dish was real good. We certainly we like this place. Oh...and it's open later than most any restaurants around in the area!

It was our first time in Victoria and we were looking for good Chinese food, luckily we found…read moreGolden City! When we arrived around 7pm the restaurant was not busy at all! I think it would probably be busier at lunch since they do have a dim sum menu. We ordered off the dim sum menu because I was hungry for it and they still offered it. From the regular menu I just got stir fry pea vines. The pea vines were crunchy and garlicky. They were to my liking. On the dim sum menu we got tripe, Xiao long Bao, omasum, har gow, chicken feet, and ham sui gok. My favorites on the dim sum menu were the tripe, Xiao long Bao, and chicken feet. The omasum was a bit too chewy and needed to be cooked long because I also had a hard time eating it. Everything else filled me up quickly and they were a great late night eat! Overall, Golden City is a standard place for Chinese food. The employees were nice but it's easier to talk to them if you have another mandarin speaker with you. My partner speaks mandarin so he helped me order.

Unlike Vietnamese bun which is thin like vermicelli, these were quite a bit thicker, almost like a round fettuccine. As appetizers, we had the duck egg rolls. We managed to eat them before taking a picture.... they were finally ground duck in egg roll wrappers. We also had the sliced pork belly with garlic sauce. I remembered to take a picture before it was completely gone! It was one of the most amazing things I've had. It's cooked and thinly sliced pork served cold, with crisp and refreshing julienne carrots and cucumber. It's served with a thin dressing that includes fresh garlic. The whole thing is cool, sharp, refreshing, and satisfying. Finally, I had the noodles. I borrowed somebody else's picture, because I forgot to take it before I dumped the toppings in. It comes with two or three different kinds of pickles, toasted soybeans, and green onions. The idea is to stir those into the noodles and eat them first, like a cool noodle salad. Then... you dump the broth on top and enjoy them like a Ramen or a noodle soup. It was absolutely amazing. As a Texan, I'm no stranger to spicy food, but somehow the spicy broth caught me at the back of my throat rather than just the tongue. You should definitely give this place a try!
