Golden City

Golden City (currently trading as New Golden City) is the long-running Chinese takeaway sat directly next door to Polash on the Princes Road parade, the row of small shops that anchors the residential streets running off East Hill out towards Darenth and the M25 junction. The shop runs a Peking and Cantonese menu — sweet-and-sour chicken, salt-and-chilli ribs, pancake rolls, and a long set-dinner section consistently picked out by reviewers as the strongest items — with collection and short-radius delivery both supported. The opening shift is the unusual evening-only Chinese rota with Tuesdays closed, opening from five through to ten. Several local guides describe the shop as among the better-regarded Chinese takeaways in the town and aggregated review scores sit in the upper bracket of the Princes Road cluster. The shop and Polash next door give the parade a useful pairing of long-tenured ethnic-cuisine takeaways serving the same residential catchment.
