The Golden Coast II

Good, cheap, consistent, and fast! I came here while getting my oil changed and I will again!

The only reason i used to get take-​out from this place was it is conveniently located within the shopping area i frequent. I always knew food was below standards, the place was not hygienic, but still continued for years. Eventually i stopped ordering from them after i came across a pubic hair in my food (literally, i am not exaggerating). In fact, i did not have Chinese food for couple of month before going to other Chinese restaurants

GOT TOE MIGHTY!
I’m not sure why people eat here. But I can tell you the reason why I did. Because I was starving. If you’re not picky about how your meat taste or how fatty it is, then this is the place for you. My meal had chicken and beef in it. That was the most disgusting crap I’ve ever eaten. The beef was chewy. It had been the lowest grade of meet I’ve ever eaten. I was going to get the beef ribs but that was the reason I didn’t get them was because they may be too fatty or too chewy. I guess this is why I always eat vegetables when I eat at Chinese restaurants because their meat sucks.
So please, don’t be spontaneous and try this place you’ll be pis-​ssed and waste your money.

Really general delight? You had some extra general chicken and some maybe? Orange shrimp I don’t even know what that was… get it together.

Happened to be in the area and was craving Chinese at the time, so I thought I’d try this place. «How bad could it be», you can’t really go wrong with Chinese… Boy was I wrong. The food was awful. I had the Won Ton soup which was very bland, and it didn’t have green onions, like the typical Won Ton soup. I also had the beef fried rice, which lacked in flavor and was more of a steamed brown rice. The beef wasn’t edible being that I couldn’t chew it. Lastly the spring roll was cold and tasted as if it had been sitting for awhile. I hate giving bad reviews, but this place was horrible. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I’ve ordered delivery a few times and its been… mediocre at best. Every single time. Today’s order just sucked and its my last straw. Every dish we ordered has the same taste. I’ve ordered Lo Mein in the past and its always either chewy or soggy. I’ve ordered General Tso’s chicken and it never fails to be so hard that its inedible and all fried breading with very little chicken.
The great reviews must be from the owners or their friends and family because this place is not Chinese food… it doesn’t even pass for American Chinese food. And I doubt many people actually have high standards when it comes to American Chinese food but this place is the WORST. They don’t even get the basic staples right. Unfortunately, they are also one of the few places that deliver in the University area. Don’t waste your money. Go someplace else. I had yet to find another Chinese place… delivery and/​or takeout that doesn’t suck in the University area.
If you want appetizer items, you will be fine. The egg rolls, and wontons, and donuts are always okay but trust me… don’t waste your money. This place is below mediocre. Find somewhere else. I won’t be ordering from this place ever again.

These delivery drivers are the nicest but not always the quickest. Pretty average time, but I live at the back of a suburb, so I get it. The fried rice is yummy and so are the spring rolls. I always get the sesame tofu, which is good the first time around but don’t bother trying to reheat leftovers. They were giving out chinese calendars with delivery orders for a while and that was a thoughtful advertising tool.

This is my go-​to Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood. The food is always pretty good and cheap. It’s your standard Chinese restaurant, all of the different entrees that I have ever ordered have been decent. I always get a combination plate so it comes with fried rice and an egg roll. The fried rice that they serve with your main entrée is ONLY rice and the egg they used when they fry it. There are no vegetables or pork or anything how most other Chinese restaurants serve their standard fried rice. It doesn’t bother me, but others may be surprised by it.
You can order online now. I always worried about showing up and them «not getting my order» but have not had any issues with ordering online which is very convenient. It’s on the Beyond Menu app or website. I usually pick it up because it’s so close, but have gotten delivery a couple of times and it usually comes around 30 – 45 mins after ordering.

Is this the best Chinese restaurant in the area? No. but is it the best Chinese restaurant that delivers in the area? Definitely. If you want a Chinese take out in the University area that has better than average food and speedy service this is definitely the one to choose. Now with online ordering as well? Even better. I’ve only ever ordered food delivered from them (never eaten in the restaurant) but the majority of times the food was good.
I’ve tried others that deliver in the area (with decent Unilocal ratings) and was always disappointed by things like mushy overcooked rice and lukewarm food at best.
For this area of the city? This is the Chinese delivery that seems to have the most consistently decent food and service.

This has been our take out joint of choice for 6 years. Is it the best? No. But it’s close to home, inexpensive, and tastes good.

Typical Chinese restaurant. Stuff in brown sauce, light brown sauce, orange sauce, red sauce… ugh
