Golds had chances to score more but Kew was denied by a brilliant save and the hosts also missed a couple of one-on-one opportunities.
Littlehampton gave a debut to youth-team player Jack Pierce in the second half.
Golds will entertain Chichester in the last eight and manager Mark Bennett said: “It was pretty straight forward, to be honest, and it was good to get through.
