Golden Palace

Indeed a decent find at a strip mall in Plum. Golden Palace offers an ample amount of lunch options, from Chinese, Sushi, and Thai. I decided to get the Japanese Bento Box. My box came with Miso soup, salad, three pieces of sushi, a California roll, another salad, and two mini spring rolls all for under $ 10.00. Not bad at all.
After ordering, the waiter brought out our soups. The miso was satisfactory. Didn’t blow me away but still tasty enough. Next he brought out the salad. There isn’t much to write home about when you are served a bowl of iceberg lettuce topped with Asian dressing. Dressing had a palatable flavor nevertheless. After a few minutes passed, my box was presented to me. A very gratifying amount of food for a lunch portion. My roll was 6 select sized pieces. A hearty portion. My box contained a second salad! I didn’t eat it but hey it was there. Next the three pieces of sushi. The fish was nicely trimmed, though I felt the ratio to fish and sticky rice was a little off. Lastly in my lunch box was two mini spring rolls.
My friend opted for the lunch Maki rolls. Came with two rolls of your choice, soup and salad as well. Wow the portion was huge, especially considering all the sides. So I swapped a couple pieces of my Callie roll for a couple pieces of his spicy tuna and yellowtail roll. Overall I was decidedly pleased with our choice to dine here. The sushi was fresh, the portions were large, and the price was right. Would definitely come back for lunch or dinner especially since they are BYOB.

I found myself in Monroeville after church today looking for something quick for an early dinner. My fellow Unilocal buddies led me to this place and they did not disappoint.
The dining room was quaint and we had a choice of where we wanted to sit. We chose a booth which gave us a clear view of the sushi making going on.
We chose a triple delight and combo lo mein. Since it was lunch time, the meals came with either wonton soup or egg roll and choice of rice for the trip d. The serving sizes were crazy. I mean, easily meals for each entrée. The wonton soup was just okay for me. In a little spoiled though because I’ve had some killer wonton in my day. The lo lo mein was really good and the pork, shrimp and chicken were cooked just right. The trip d was bangin! A nice mix if crunchy veggies including a fave… zucchini. The brown sauce was pefect… thick, covering every morsel. It was very good. The shrimp eggroll was crunchy and fresh. I like it when the cabbage I still has some bite to it. The shrimp inside were surprisingly large and cooked just right. The service was friendly and attentive.
I docked a star for the tea. It was not good at all. I don’t know if it’s the water that’s used or the brand of tea. I was expecting a good hot cup of oolong or some other tea but this had some weird after taste that I just could not get past. Nevertheless, that’s an easy fix. This one is worth a stop.

The worst things about American-​Asian restaurants are the food tastes old and the flavors are all the same. However, our food at Golden Palace had neither of these qualities.
Basil chicken hot pot was the best. Really fresh veggies and unique flavors. The meat to vegetable ratio was perfect.
My sushi rolls were really good. I liked how the California roll had separate crab, avocado & cucumber (not mixed up like a crab salad which many restaurants do). My miso soup was a huge portion for only $ 2.
Another cool thing is the Thai menu, which is pretty rare for a Chinese/​Japanese restaurant. Definitely going to return soon to try the curry. The only negative of this restaurant was the atmosphere, consisting of bare walls and one TV.

You know, I’d probably go here more often if it wasn’t so close to me. I’m already past it when I’m out and thinking about food. But we stopped in again Friday for dinner and were reminded how good this place is. Good food, quality ingredients, great staff. This time we had the veggie spring rolls, the Sesame Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein. Plenty to share or take home. Or both.
Do yourself a favor and give them a try. BTW, I’d give them 5 stars, but nobody gets 5 stars.

Excellent! I enjoyed the shrimp egg roll immensely and the triple crown was delicious.

The food was fresh but lacking in flavor. We ordered the tuna tempura roll, general tso chicken and Mongolian beef. Everything looked great but the flavor was very bland. I wish they offered a vegetable tempura roll. Service was good but the wait was a little long considering we were the only people there.

Just tried this place because it’s new and wow! Unbelievably good. Just wow! The spring rolls are huge and taste great! I had the triple delight– all 3 meats (chicken, beef and shrimp) were perfectly cooked. Just a great surprise. Definitely recommend this!

So glad this place opened. From the outside it looks uninviting but t inside is so nice! Always great service and excellent food. Tastes fresh each time.

Very good pricing, very good portions, very good flavor/​cooking, very good service. This is my go-​to spot for lunch.

I have been wanting to try this place since they opened. Today was the day. Stopped in to place a take out order of Thai green chilli curry, oh my goodness, it was delicious! We ordered the tofu, a slight heat, a delicious flavor! Really sweet people work there and we can’t wait to try other dishes. I placed my order, grocery shopped at Aldi, then stopped in to pick up dinner. We will be back soon.

I do not believe the other reviews on this place. It’s not anywhere near 4.5 stars. The food is mediocre, at best. we tried both Thai and sushi. The service is friendly but unprofessional, not at all familiar with the menu. I do not recommend.

I love this place! It’s close to my work and my home and everyone at the office goes here for lunch almost daily.
I’ve been here for both dinner and lunch and loved it both times. The presentation is spectacular! All the veggies are vibrant, fresh and arranged around the plate so beautifully. The lunch specials are killer and will attract me a lot in the summer :). The dinner prices are a lot higher but portion size is decent. Staff members are very friendly and attentive.
I judge Chinese places by the house chili sauce they serve. I always ask for hot sauce on the side and this place did not disappoint. Their chili sauce was flavorful and authentic – chili oil base instead of paste.
The reason I take 1 star off is because I ordered the Beijing/​Peking duck. As one of its priciest menu items, I expected more. The duck was a particularly skinny one and rather dry. If you didn’t dip it into the sweet sauce, the meat itself was flavorless. Step up your duck game and I will order again! Otherwise, the best roast duck I’ve ever had will still be in Cleveland Chinatown.

This place is a GREAT find! So happy to have high quality, delicious sushi in the East Suburban area of Pittsburgh!
Not to forget, they have Chinese and Thai cuisine to offer as well… so varying palates of Asian food are accommodated.
That said, I can only speak for the sushi… for now… which was scrumptulescent! They offer a wide variety of specialty rolls along with the traditional rolls found at your typical sushi joint. The ingredients were clearly fresh, the service was super friendly, and the portions were ample.
This place has instantly become my «go to» sushi spot in the area. Give it a try… you’ll be glad you did!

Went to the Golden Palace recently to try out the new Asian place in town. Glad to have an Asian place that delivers and will certainly use them for that. We went on a Friday around 5 and the place was dead… one other table was filled when we got there, they left and not a soul came in. I’m not a fan of eating in restaurants when I’m the only one eating there.
The atmosphere was ok… a little too bright, they could probably lower the recessed lighting… the lanterns above the tables seemed fairly bright. Sushi bar in the back with a big screen TV in front… I’m also not a fan of a TV’s in restaurants unless it’s in the bar. Really takes away from the atmosphere.
The food was good. Fresh and plentiful. We ordered the dumpling combo which were all good. I tried my first deep fried tempura roll… it was good, but I like the traditional cold sushi better. Just personal preference. For our mains we ordered the Walnut Shrimp and the Massaman Curry (was SO excited to see this on the menu… my favorite Thai curry). The Walnut Shrimp was very good, Maybe a little too sweet. The shrimp however were beautiful really large shrimp and they weren’t stingy with them. Beautiful broccoli and crispy walnuts and other veggies. Very fresh. Two disappointments though… even though it had the spicy sign next to it I did not find it spicy at all (and they don’t ask how spicy you want it), but more disappointing was that it wasn’t hot (temperature hot). Our waitress asked us how everything was and I told her it wasn’t hot and she just said «oh, ok» but did not offer to reheat it. The Massaman was very good as well, lots (LOTS) of tender chicken breast in a sauce with some veggies. No potatoes? My favorite part of Massaman — and I truly missed them — they soak up that delicious sauce. The flavor of the sauce was very good though, but again, it had the spicy sign next to it and it wasn’t enough for me.
I will definitely give them another try, especially with the delivery service, but they need to spice up their spicy entrees, or at least ask you how spicy you’d like them. They need to serve the food hot, and dim the lights a little.

I had high expectations for this new neighborhood Asian restaurant (offering Chinese/​Thai/​Sushi dishes), but after my third order I decided to not explore the menu any further. The bad experience came with over-​sweetening the entrees (vegetarian dishes); although tasting fresh with good ingredients, the preparation was just not delectable. Luckily we have several good options nearby, if not just down the street.

Very nice surprise! Ordered delivery from here. Pad Thai and General Tsos. Arrived hot, tasted wonderful, very nice delivery driver at a reasonable price. This will definitely become our favorite choice for great food that’s delivered!

Service was very good and the food was very good too. Willing staff was willing to do things exactly as we wanted them and the prices were reasonable

I am excited to have this new chinese restaurant in my neck of the woods. Even more excited to see that they do delivery (with a minimum order and for a fee).
They still advertise their «grand opening» but they have been open over a month now.
The menu includes sushi and traditional chinese dishes. We ordered two sushi rolls, two different soups and two chinese entrees.
The sushi was beautifully presented. Even more important, it tasted fresh and fantastic. They had a great combination of flavors. The entrees didn’t disappoint either. I was extremely impressed with the presentation. Most chinese places just sort of throw things on a plate, but here there was great care taken to have beautiful presentation. The taste didn’t disappoint either. My husband had a beef dish and I had kung pao chicken. The veggies used were fresh and crisp and the meat was tender and flavorful.
Staff was attentive but not in your face. They were eager to answer questions and tell you about special dishes or answer ingredient questions.
Overall, a great experience and a welcome addition to the Plum/​Monroeville area.

I stopped in for lunch and had the General Tso’s Chicken. It was served with chinese noodles and a choice of soup or egg roll. I had the Sweet and Sour soup and it was very tasty, very hot. As soon as I finished the soup, the General Tso’s Chicken was set in front of me and it was delicious. The service was a bit spotty — I had to ask twice to get chopsticks and I don’t think anyone ever came by to check my tea — but I think that might have been a matter of early staffing jitters.
Prices seemed pretty decent on the lunch menu, about $ 6 – 9 depending on what you got, more if you went for the sushi courses.

Amazing, high quality food. We started with sushi, they clearly use fresh high quality ingredients which always makes me feel good about eating raw fish. Recommend the volcano roll (shrimp tempura with spicy tuna)
We all loved our main courses. Lemon chicken is my favorite dish and I’d say this was far and away the best lemon chicken that I ever had. My sister got pineapple chicken, served in a pineapple — really cool! Very delicious, not overly sweet like a lot of pineapple chicken — just right. My dad has a hard time finding sweet and sour pork that he likes and he loved the sweet and sour pork at Golden Palace.
Definitely give this place a try, you’ll be back
