Golden China

Hands down best Chinese food ever. The delivery is faster than jimmy john’s. Very good!

Despite the signs that say don’t seat yourself, they expect you to seat yourself and get your own high chair. But they are very accommodating.
Food was hot and lots of it for the price. The egg drop soup was good but a different color as it was white and not yellow. I had the cashew chicken dinner. The egg roll I personally didn’t think was very good.
The place is crowded as to the seating and tables. Service was very attentive. Overall I would come back but would not go out of my way to come here.
We had a party of 6 adults, 1 child and a baby. Everyone in our group agreed that this was an average meal

Love the orange tofu! I’ve eaten here many times, probably one of my favorite restaurants. The service is very fast and the price is cheap for the amount and quality you get. The workers here are very friendly and nice too.

I’ve eaten there many times and the food is always good-​hot, tasty and fairly priced. Soup is also good. Staff is very friendly and fast to help. I’ve never gotten bad food or service!!! A bit hidden for first timers but worth the hunt. No loud music or annoying TV to spoil the chance to talk. Christmas music played after Thanksgiving-​great!!!

First off, the place is actually called, «New Golden China», and don’t waste your time here! They never actually have anyone that speaks clear or decent English taking orders. Though I suppose if you’re looking for that extreme authenticity in Chinese food.. . Anyway, on top of that, out of the three times we’ve ordered from there, the food is only ok and tends to be on the greasy side.
Then, this last time we ordered, we were promised that the food would arrive in 45 minutes to an hour. It arrived almost 90 minutes after it was ordered, and was completely someone else’s order!
Our choices at that point, promised from the Mgr was too get it completely remade, which would take another 45 minutes to an hour! So was able to convey with the partially literate employee that I did not want that and had to argue to get a full refund, which I did finally get.

I live with two other people and we always order from here, its a great place for cheap food that delivers. Now we generally always get the orange chicken combos. Today I am very very disappointed to say that when I got my food, and started to eat, my food was so soggy. Immediately I turned to my roommate and asked if hers tasted funny, she then told me it did and that it was soggy and gross.
I told her I was going to call the place because this is to gross to even eat. When I called I explained that I wasn’t trying to make a big deal, that I order from here all the time but this time my food was really soggy and must have been sitting, she was SO rude to me.
This lady told me that «yeah, that’s what happens with delivery, that’s why you order it on the side. Okay?»
It was so rude, and then when I continued she interrupted me and said «what do you want us to remake your food» ever so rudely.
I am very very very disappointed in my service today.

Horrible, the name change to New Golden China. I was seated and rudely ask what I wanted to drink. Get my water and she throws my straw on the table and walk off. Another guy comes and takes my order and brings my soup (now waiting for my main dish). 2 other larger groups seat behind me. What?! They got their entrees before me! Waiting trying to flag my waiter while she runs around ignoring me. Finally get my meal while the other 2 tables are about ready to leave.
Oh food review?! Yeah not the greatest at all I think Panda Express has better quality (and that’s sayin a lot). But for $ 3.55 soup & entrée, you get what you pay for. On a budget this is your place! I don’t need to go back. I’d spend my $ 4 at mcdonalds

My husband and I have been SO disappointed in the service AND the food. We like to order an x-​tra rice with our regular dinner, and if the young people are there working, they get our order right. We order extra rice and pay extra. If it’s the older folks especially the older lady — she goes out of her way to mess up our order. EVERY TIME. Apparently if you want for, and pay extra for anything it’s bad. Last straw tonight– our order was completely wrong. She’s a real piece of work. We will go to the new Chinese restaurant on Brown and Power from now on. Seriously.

I was in here this evening and there were a few tables finishing up. I was standing at the counter for six and a half minutes before I decided to walk out. I mean come on, take my order and then go back to your tickets. I would have even settled for a hello one moment please. Highly and brown is the spot, they say hello lol

This place has really gone downhill. Golden China used to be my go-​to for Chinese food in AJ but the quality and service are bad bad bad right now. Perhaps when the snow birds return and business picks up they will improve, but on my last visit the food was horrible –old yucky and worse tasting than reheated cafeteria food.

Used to be my go-​to chinese place when I lived in AJ and I visited there last night after being gone 3 years and glad to say the food is still great. Love their honey walnut chicken (but I did notice the sauce was a bit different, not quite as sweet as it was but still good.) Service is always good, but when the blue hairs come in during the fall it gets very busy so expect service to be slow. Great value and yummy food! =)

Service is poor and the food is so-​so. It seems every time I call to order pickup the lady that answers is too busy. She either rushes and interrupts me or just hands the phone to somone else without telling me. When I show up to get my food she acts distracted and disinterested. Often starting conversations with her coworkers before she’s even done handing me my food.
The food is only so-​so. I like my Chinese food spicey but this place doesn’t make it’s spicey menu items with any bite at all. The portions aren’t bad for the price.

Ate takeout from here tonight. Kung pow combo was lacking flavor, no spice at all. Lo mien chicken was over cooked noodles with chewy chicken. Chicken fried rice was edible, minus the chewy chicken. Also ordered crab puffs, which were cold in the middle. Walked in to order and brought the food home to eat. Took over 30 minutes to receive our food. They were not very busy inside either. Overall, very disappointed in food and service. It’s really bad when you are thinking that Panda Express would have been a better choice for dinner. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

I love this place. The staff is always very friendly. I’ve even seen a couple people from the staff outside of the restaurant and they always say hi, because they recognize me from eating there.
The food is good, always made fresh and comes out fast.
They have fantastic lunch specials– super good prices and just the right sized portions.
And the best part is that they deliver! There is almost nothing better than chinese food delivery. They always deliver fast too and have never gotten anything wrong on my order.
It’s not fine dining, but it is good, cheap, fast and friendly.

Did not want to give one star. Horrible service, grouchy servers… Worst service ive ever had. Do your family a favor… Don’t eat at golden china… Especially if your Hispanic

Might be a good place to eat but I’ll never know they left me on hold so long I just hung up on them lousy customer service

Awesome food! All i got to say. They deliver and you also can eat in. Friendly people also! Portions are good size.

there lemon chiken is good. also the wor wonton soup is very good. this place is not fancy but for the price its a good value.

I love cheap Chinese food, however, New Golden China seems to take the «cheap» concept a bit too far…
The food is actually on par with some other truly cut-​rate Chinese joints I have experienced in the past in the sense that there really isn’t any quality or consistency to be had. Menu options are extremely standard fast-​food Chinese fare (orange chicken, mongolian beef, etc.). But, the veggies aren’t fresh, the soups taste like liquid filler and meat products used in their dishes are highly questionable at best (i.e. beef doesn’t look or taste like beef, chicken doesn’t resemble chicken, etc.).
According to the hand-​written stickers on the back of their menus, New Golden China now uses something called «chicken powder» in their food. When I questioned the owners repeatedly about this, it was explained to me that it serves the same purpose as MSG, in that it mentally «enhances» the flavor of their extremely low quality food, while also acting as a filler, so smaller portions fill you up faster! Well, I don’t know how you get powder out of a chicken, but you are certain to get plenty of it when you eat here!
Though I don’t have any real negative comments aside from hinting at the questionable cleanliness of the kitchen (and sometimes staff) or the unexplainable 60-​minute wait for a single dish when you’re the only one in the restaurant, I really can’t find much positive to say, either.
Most people will find that it’s very easy to spend too much here for what you get in return, especially if you are feeding more than just one or two people.
If you’re really in the mood for cheap Chinese, there are several other places in the immediate area that offer much better quality food for just a little more money.

This is my favorite Chinese place in the East Mesa are that is not a buffet. The pork fried rice is fantastic and they advertise no MSG.
