Admittedly, I could be totally biased because it's my "regular" Chinese place, but that's only because I genuinely have an enjoyable dining experience every time I eat at Golden China. It's decor is typical strip mall (complete with News TV for lunchtime diners), and the service is quick, but the food (offering both Chinese and Japanese dishes)is definitely the star. The veggies are always super-fresh with just the right amount of crunch; they add a lot of life and flavor to almost every dish. Their sauces all have good flavor, especially the brown and red sauces. (I really like the Hunan dishes). The old stand-bys, General Tsao's and Sesame chicken, are crowd pleasers. Their Sweet&Sour chicken is a good choice for children or picky diners. Curries are variable (sometimes outstanding, sometimes only average), but the Hibachi entrees are always lovely- in presentation and fresh flavor. If you want a new appetizer addiction, try the steamed dumplings.
SERVICE: Quick and efficient, not too chatty
PRICE: Good overall, lunch menu is a bargain
FOOD: *****! Lovely, fresh, and flavorful
This family owned business also offers quick TAKE-OUT (which I get at least twice a week).
Happy dining!

My second time here and wondered why I don't come here more often. I ordered the Vietnamese PHO soup and it was pretty good for a fast food place. If you want authentic taste then you must visit an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. However if you are ...

What can I say... it's PF Chang's! Service was excellent even though we showed up half hour before closing. Their food was good as usual. I had the short ribs for appetizers which was excellent! The seabass was as tender as ever and their desserts wa ...
