Golden China
Reviews

The only time in my life that I have refused to leave a tip. I love chinese food, always have, but I have never in my life been so turned off to it, even old deli chinese has more appeal the slop they serve here. I am only taking the time on this review to WARN YOU that you shouldn't waste a single cent at this place. I read some bad reviews on yelp but my friend convinced me to try it out. Extremely regrettable decision. Please, please, PLEASE take my advice on this, do not let the good reviews sway you into going here... I ordered the number one with special chow mien instead of pork chow mien. The soup was a goopy, clear liquid with a little bit of cabbage and a carrot/pea combo (looks like the veggies in cheap cup noodle) floating around in it, I spotted about 2 tiny strings of egg. The chow mien was alright, but only compared to the rest of the food. The sweet & sour pork was chewie and flavorless, covered in a dark sauce that genuinely looked poured straight from a can. Also, bare of any veggies besides one piece of pineapple garnish. The almond chicken looked and tasted like microwaved frozen chicken, smothered in what I can only describe as a "gravy". Thick, grey, disgusting, garnished with what looked like bread crumbs? Pork rice didn't taste good, the pink, shredded "pork" on top was the only accessory. That's it for the food, on to the terrible service. The food took 35 minutes, restaurant was not that busy, and considering our food looked like it was scooped out of old take out boxes and microwaved, shouldn't have taken that long. I adked for chop sticks & didn't receive them, had to ask again. We weren't asked once how our food was. I finished my water within the first ten minutes, multiple times servers walked by, including our waitress, my cup stayed dry. I decided to wait and see how long it would take to get a refill. Food arrived, food forced down, still dry. I ended up asking and waited 10 minutes for it. We had ordered a meal to go, told the waitress we were ready for our check, took a bit to finish up some & put the leftovers I could only hope to find appetizing later into go boxes. Then waited another 20 minutes for our check & to go order. Finally went to pay, had to make a slight change on our separate bills, our waitress did the math in her head, or tried to. She took forever and kept saying "opps, that's not right" and starting over. Finally able to leave... And all of this with 2 kids under 5, waiting to go for 25/30 minutes with nothing to do. You can imagine... Also, to put a rotten cherry on the moldy cake, my fortune cookie was stale. I will never set foot in the Golden China again.

Best Sweet & Sour Chicken I've ever had at any restaurant. The Chicken Fried Rice is also amazing. If you are looking for sub par Chinese food try PF CHANG'S because you wont find it here. Anyone that would write a bad review for this place must be an owner for another Chinese restaurant.

I am always skeptical about trying "Chinese" places especially in small towns. But after reading the other reviews, I figured why not? The staff was very friendly, and the food was prepared in a reasonable time. All of the food was delicious, and by far exceeded my expectations. I only wish we had a Chinese Restaurant this good in my city of 50k people. I highly recommend this one.

We eat here regularly, and we love it. Great food and excellent service. Prices are fair too. Anyone who lives in the area or is just passing through should definitely give it a try.

Eat here regularly and love the food. Even get a chance for more "heat" when I ask :)
