The Golden China Restaurant has a lot of 5 star reviews so we decided to stop there on our way back from Lake Topaz. We had a mixed experience. The easy part is cleanliness which I rated as 5 star under 'Atmosphere'. Golden China is as clean as restaurant can be. Both bathrooms were operating table spotless on a busy Sunday afternoon.
Our expectations for the food may have been too high from the previous reviews. It's standard Chinese-American food. I am a fan of this style of cuisine, but I am not sure how you make it '5 Star'. I had Seafood Chow Fun. (This was not on their menu, but they were happy to make it when I requested it.) It was good (pictured). I would have liked a few more scallops, but I always want more scallops.
Price for 2 with 1 beer was $45.15 after tax. I would eat at the Golden China again, but I would not drive out of my way to do so.
Although this restaurant is very clean and they have very good customer service, I rarely order the garlic chicken. It shouldn’t be called garlic chicken since there’s no chicken in it. 90% of it is deep-fried chicken skin with garlic sauce on it. It’s so frustrating. I don’t like to drive all the way to Modesto for my Chinese food. I ordered this just to see if it has changed. It’s still the same. Very little chicken, but tons of fat and skin deep-fried. I wish someone would talk to the owner and change this process of making spicy garlic chicken.

Noodles was Greesy. I ordered 3 kind of chickens but all of chickens taste very bad. One more thing, they charge 2 kind of tax from customer. If u visit with 5 people's or more then they charge state tax or 15% extra charge for service. My first or last visit in this restaurant. M never suggest that restaurant to anyone. Big Zero Star...

Clean, comfortable, quiet & a wide ranging menu. I am from out of town & was passing through Turlock, this excellent place was open late, so that guided my choice along with other reviews. I'm super happy I stopped. My Egg Rolls were crisp & tasty, as was my entrée of Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. If I am in the area, I will gladly eat here again.

The only dish that was really good was the fried rice, everything else was okay. Oh and the chow mein didnt have much chicken.

Appetisers here are amazing, especially the fried prawns. Portion sizes are also very generous. Chow mein has that delicious wok-char flavour, so tasty! Sweet & sour pork was a little too sweet for my liking but still yummy. Unfortunately the roast duck was way over cooked and very dry. Golden China beef a bit tasteless and beef was a bit stringy/gristly.
If you want decent Chinese food worth the price this is your best option. I recently move to turlock and finding good to decent chinese food has been a challenge but this place is decent its worth what you pay.
We have been coming here for almost 6 years, it is the BEST Chinese food in town we love it & I am sure you will too.
