Golden China

We live in Alaska, but my mother still lives in Gadsden. We’re used to a lot of great Asian restaurants and were pleased to find Golden China in Gadsden.
The menu included PAGES of selections, all moderately priced (from an Alaskan perspective). Service was as friendly as one could wish, personable, and helpful. Dinners that are hot for the normal American are marked as such and I ordered a hot Szechwan Beef with some extra fire. Wow! It was as hot as I can eat and delicious! Portions are large. We can’t complete a dish each and an appetizer as well. Including a pot of hot tea, one can enjoy a fine Chinese meal in the Deep South.
They are a fairly traditional Chinese restaurant and do offer chopsticks if one wishes. There’s the mandatory (for the American audience) «fortune cookie» as well.
We are especially pleased that it’s a family-​owned restaurant so the entire family is working somewhere in the restaurant. How cool is that?
If you wish a fast, reasonably-​priced Chinese meal, you simply can’t do better without a long drive from Gadsden, and you’d pay more as well. Eat locally, support a great local family, and a fine Chinese meal.

I’m currently sitting in golden China. The food is okay, they don’t have good selection at all. The service is terrible. And the outside and inside of the building is disgusting. I would not recommend anyone to even look at this «Chinese buffet». I didn’t not see my waiter but 1 time. Overall this restaurant is not a good one at all.

I came up from Birmingham for dinner — my date felt like something Chinese, so we came here, to Golden China, over the competition. He had the Mongolian Combination and it was delicious — everything good about Mongolian food on one plate. I had the Crispy Shrimp — Hunan Style, and I wasn’t as much a fan. The sauce tasted like sweet and sour sauce with a dash of red pepper — and the shrimp was overmuch battered, I think. BUT — because of the friendly service and the one dish that was excellent, I’m a fan :)

Stopped by in Gadsden, AL for a night and checked out this Chinese place because it had three five star reviews.
Got three dishes from here: garlic chicken, shrimp with lobster sauce, and chicken chow mien.
The first dish was the best out of the three and had good flavor. The chicken was also tasty.
The second dish (shrimp) had good shrimp, but was super bland. The lobster sauce had no flavor at all. Usually there is some flavor, but this literally had none.
The last dish (chow mien) was straight up bad. Granted we ordered 20 mins before the place closed and all the food was ready in like 7 minutes, so it probably wasn’t fresh.
However, the chow mien was in a wet sauce and tasted as if it had been soaking in there for the whole day. It was mushy and gross. My wife and I took one bite and couldn’t eat more.
The chicken pieces in the chow mien were at least ok to eat, so we took those out and ate them with rice.
Overall, the food was ok and probably would have been better during the day or in the morning.

Best service ever! And Chinese food! really good!

We had Valentine’s Supper tonight.
Egg rolls, Sizzlin rice soup and Semame Chicken with fried rice !
Exceptionally Good ! We eat there occasionally and it’s ALWAYS good !
If you like Chinese food, you’ll enjoy it !
They have a lunch buffet, but it’s menu only after lunch.

This is, by far, the best Chinese food in the area! You might not think so from the outside (as another reviewer mentioned) but you will not be disappointed by the food, service, or pricing. Lunch is a steal, and the dinner portions are family style — you’ll have plenty of leftovers! I’ve yet to try anything on the menu that I didn’t like, and I’ve tried almost all of it. You can’t go wrong here, and there is a lot of variety too! They even have tofu dishes (hidden in the «vegetables» section of the menu), and will make dishes extra spicy if you ask!
