Golden Wok

I drove past this place a number of times and thought is that a hidden gem! The place has a old, kind of a local haunt feeling. Small bar area that seems comfy! Table clothes were a bit dirty, but over all place seemed okay! The reviews were good, with a common theme .this Chinese place was best this area has to offer! The menu has lots of options. We visited at lunch time and ordered a lunch portion of Szechuan chicken and beef and broccoli. Both had pork fried rice as a side. I ordered the crab Rangoon and my wife ordered chicken fingers. For starters we both had hot and sour soup. The soup was a bit sweet which was helped with some soy sauce. The main dishes were real good with lots of flavor! Rice was great! I found the crab Rangoon lacking flavor but not bad and the chicken fingers having the same issues! If in the area … this place is a good option when craving Chinese food!

Stopped here after a bicycle ride, was looking for a drink and a snack, ok it’s been a month and I still can’t stop talking about there crab Rangoons, they are by far best I have ever had !!! I will stop there next time by for sure, we had steamed dumplings, were yummy and Scorpion bowl was refreshing. We sat at the bar. All the tables were dirty, or had dirty plates left on them. Looked a little short staffed In the dinning area !!! Yummmm crab Rangoons !

One does not expect world class Chinese food (or ANY ethnic food, for that matter) in a tiny, lily-​white town in the middle of nowhere… given those realistically low expectations, I was quite happy with this place. After all, it was the only Asian restaurant we could find after a day spent hiking up and down nearby Mt. Monadnock, working up quite an appetite.
If you have a TomTom GPS like I do, it will be off by about a mile from where the place acually is. Luckily, a very friendly and nice local pointed us in the right direction… it’s smack downtown… well, «downtown» as in central Jaffrey.
Service was slow at first but after we placed our order the food came very fast. The food was bland as one would expect in this kind of locale, but the prices were quite reasonable and the portion size huge. We ordered two dishes that were allegedly «spicy» according to the menu… next time we’ll know to request «extra spicy» and hope to get even close to «medium» on the heat scale.
Ingredients were fine, the waitress was nice, the bill came promptly, and we left feeling full and happy that we managed to avoid going to any fast food chains or tourist trap restaurants (you know the type: overpriced for mediocre food that is claimed to be «authentic local»).
They have a full bar, but the beer list is your typical dismal American corporate water-​beers, with Heineken being the least-​gross option. Saw lots of people coming in to pick up phoned in orders, which I imagine accounts for a large chunk of their business.

My wife and I have been eating here roughly every two weeks for the past few years. This is a very good Chinese restaurant with friendly waitresses that recognize us and remember what we like to order.
My favorites include dinner specials #4 and #10 (one of them is cashew chicken, the other is lo mein), the pu pu platter for two, and moo goo gai pan. The soup they serve first is good; I usually get the egg drop, which has a nice touch since they add bits of peas, carrots and water chestnut in it (most places just have egg). Crab rangoon, egg rolls, beef/​chicken teriyaki, all delicious. Sometimes we get margaritas, also yummy. Note that the Jaffrey tap water tastes not so good, so you may not want to just have water to drink, although we usually do. We usually have leftovers enough for another complete meal.
The waitresses and the Chinese family who owns the place are all terrific. It is common to see two of their little children helping out.
Yeah, it is not some kind of award winning fine dining, but it is good stuff, and your choices in rural NH are limited. It’s my favorite restaurant in Jaffrey. There are no other Chinese restaurants unless you head north on 202 into Peterborough… Yen Yen is a similar style of Chinese food with nice folks but a bit of a dumpy building, and Mt. Fuji nearby has more high-​end fancy food (and higher price), but in the end Golden Wok is our favorite.

Its Chinese food, and its the closest place that is dicent for about 15 miles. In a larger city with more options I would rate this a 3 star restaurant but for the area it is good. I can’t complain about the food, but at times it does seem they are a bit overwhelmed. I have never sat at the bar, or even ate in the restaurant but always get take out. The family that runs the place is very nice and helpful. If you want Chinese around this area go here.

If you love blandness, this is the place for you. However, there’s paucity of Chinese joints hugging the Monadnock, so this might be your best bet.
(+) Man is this place clean. Its like a hospital room with a bar.
(+) Unlike most places in the Monadnock ‘hood, they clean their fryers. Yay for clean grease!
(+) The crab rangoons were crunchy, and not rank or sour! (but otherwise unremarkable)
(-) The pork fried rice, though some of the darkest I’ve ever seen (which would indicate soy sauce one would think), were somehow bland, lacking salt, and kind of crunchy.
(-) The egg rolls were very bland as well: A deep fried roll of wet sawdust.
(-) The General Tso’s Chicken was a mixed bag: They used dark meat, and created a a crispy coating (both good signs), but the sauce was too sweet and devoid of the usual spicy kick to the teeth that I look for.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
(+) Despite the blandness, its still the best option for several miles around. Just ask for extra sides of hot mustard, and make sure you have salt in your house.

We’ve only ever gotten take-​out here. When they first opened they had, hands-​down, the best crab rangoon I’ve ever had. Since then we’ve noticed they REALLY skimp on the crab — like 95% cream cheese, 5% crab, so that’s a bummer, but I don’t do dairy any more anyway so it doesn’t affect me, & the kid’s still like it. It was really hopping the first few weeks after they opened but since then it’s petered off quite a bit. They put out coupons when they first opened & one of them was for 50% off your order of $ 35 or more. We ordered $ 70 of Chinese food expecting to get 50% off & they said THEY worded the coupon incorrectly — they meant you could get $ 35 of Chinese food for 50% off, not 50% $ 35 or MORE & they refused to honor the coupon even though THEY messed up! That left a bad taste in my mouth. The veggie lo mein is too dry for my tastes. We still eat there but we’re not crazy about it.

I really like the food here, I was glad to find a decent chinese place when we moved to Jaffrey. The Moo Goo Gai Pan is excellent and I love their chicken lo mein. I can’t speak to the dining experience in house, because we always do take out. However, they are always really quick with the orders and the food is hot and always tasty.

I really enjoy there food & the wait staff friendly & attentive! The karaōke night was an absolute blast.

Just recently opened. ok food for not too many options for chinese in the area. pork fried rice is TERRIBLE. pupu plater is decent size (i bet in 6 months its not as big) food in it is average, most likely generic usfoods or sysco food since it taste exactly the same as majority of other chinese foods.
