“Feels Like Home – Amazing Cantonese Food! Golden Palace in Connecticut is hands down one of the best Cantonese restaurants I’ve been to. Their dim sum is so authentic — just like the kind you’d get in Hong Kong or southern China. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. What really makes this place special is the people. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming — every time I come here, I feel like I’m back home in China. It’s that kind of warm, family-style hospitality that’s hard to find these days. Whether you’re craving dim sum or a comforting Cantonese meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“This place was impeccable. everything from the service to the decor was on point. When walking in I thought that the food would make me need to use the toilet for 3 hours straight but when I walked in I felt this strange aura as if God himself was trying to give me a sign that this restaurant will wash me of my sins and boy, that’s what I experienced alright! When the server spoke to me, I started blushing and thought he was the most gorgeous person I’ve ever seen. Even though I have a girlfriend(obviously), I went straight ahead and dumped her right then and there. When I stuffed my mouth with the food, it felt like fireworks exploded and melted in my mouth. It was just soooo good that it surpassed every restaurant I’ve ever went to in my life. I’d literally give up my children in order to just have a nibble of the food again. The only downside to this place would be that I can’t ever go to any other restaurant again because they can’t even begin to match the pure satisfaction of just being in the presence of these amazing, good-looking chefs. If I could, I would rate this infinite stars since this place was sent down from God himself. It’s as if the angels came together to lead me to this wonderful place. This is truly the second Garden Of Eden. I believe this is truly the place pure hearted people go when they die. Now I gotta finish this review before my dad comes home to beat me again cause my mom just cheated and he needs someone to let his anger out so byeeeeeee!!!!! ☺️“

“Wok expressWhere do I even begin. I was a weak, lonely boy with nothing in my life to provide any sort of stimulation or reason to live. Everything changed when I decided to miserably stop by at this seemingly inconspicous, orthodox mall restaurant. Life could not have been any worse for me at the time, but it all changed as soon as I caught a whiff of the sweet, juicy, delicious orange chicken. Sitting on a sample platter was the shiny, golden, beautifully glazed piece of delectable chicken meat that had ever touched my mouth. I immediately passed out from how delicious the food was. I could not fathom how scrumptious that Chinese food tasted. I still think about it all the time. Back to when i first tasted the deliciousness of Wok Express. All day, every day, I think of wok express and the flavorful food. Anyway, I woke up on the floor of the mall and saw the Chinese man staring down at me, while still holding the platter of food. “Sir, you ok?” He asked me. But I didn’t not realize that he had spoken. In fact, I did not realize anything at all, except for Wok Express. It seemed like the Chinese food turned on some sort of hidden switch in my brain, where I finally understood why I was alive on this great green earth. To eat at Wok Express. Oblivious to everyone and everything but Wok Express, I staggered over to the counter, and saw the heaps of delicious treats waiting for me. My mouth watered as I stared down into the piles of Chicken, noodles, and various other delicacies. My dopamine levels were skyrocketing. My salivary glands were working overtime. My intestinal system was preparing for the boatloads of food I was about to shovel down. The lady at the counter looked confused as I ravenously stared down at the sources of sustenance. Quickly, I whipped out my wallet and took out a 100 dollar bill. “Give me the best you got,” I told them, still eyeing the gleaming glaze that sat upon the lightly fried, perfectly seasoned general Tao’s chicken. The delectable lo mein sat next to the chicken, waiting for me to devour their slippery, salty, sweet, appetizing golden brown deliciousness in a few quick moments. I loudly slammed the 100 dollar bill as the lady loaded up my plate with Mile high stacks of various different foods. Time seemed to slow down, as if fate was trying to stop me from consuming the life fuel that lay in front of me. My stomach growled with agony as I watched the lady pile up more and more food. The cosmic entities are playing with me, I thought. They didn’t want me to achieve enlightenment through Wok Express! Anger soon formed in the pit of my chest as I waited for the food. So far it seemed, but so close. After an eternity, I finally had my food ready. All my emotions dissipated as I later my hands on the side of the plate. Finally, after living all my life empty and without any motivation, finally, I found why I was alive. Why I was born into this world. My purpose in life. Every second I was not getting ready to munch on the heavenly Chinese food, my anticipation and dopamine would go berserk. I sat down as fast as lightning, set down the plate, and immediately started to eat. First, one at a time, a smal piece of orange chicken, a wonton, a dumpling, but gradually, the speed at which I engorged myself exponentially expanded. Oh, sweet delicious food! Why couldn’t I find you earlier in my life? Why did I have to live and wait so long to finally achieve what I needed in my miserable, wretched life? The taste was heavenly. That is the only way to describe it. Dropping the utensils, I resorted to using my bare hands to gobble down more food. I plunged my hands into the mixed colors of orange, golden, brown, and other of Chinese food. Pulling my fists out, I threw the food vigorously down my mouth, chomping like a wild beast feasting on his first meal of the winter. As I ate, I felt a connection in my brain. Everything made sense now. I felt as if I was hovering out of my body. I could see everybody bustling around the mall, people shopping. I had achieved omnipotence through Wok Express.“

“I love Chinese food, and the quality of the ingredients are top of the line, unlike any other place. When I want Chinese food I will only come here.“

“Good food every time we order. Pleasant owners. We keep returning..“

“This food was delicious, not greasy and fresh. The donuts were delicious and the eggs tastes fresh every thing was a 5 star rating. I'm always iffy about ordering from the right place, you can tell these people have a clean and respectful familly and there food shows. I work in restaurants for over 20 years I only orders delivery but everything was an amazing experience. Definitely order from this place you will be happy you did. Worth the price. I was very satisfied. I live in New London and I'm happy I didn't ordered from a place near my house. This is the best, you will be happy.“

“We have found this place about 2 years ago and won’t go anywhere else! We started out apprehensive due to some reviews about the quality of service. We have never had an issue and everyone has been lovely. Their boneless spare ribs, general Taos, and crab rangoons are our go tos but they also have Phenomenal sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli and egg drop soup. Honestly I could list a ton more because we haven’t had anything bad there ever! So glad we found this place!“

“I been coming here for 2 years, absolutely the best Chinese food !“

“The quality of the food exceptional, great spare rib bone in without being overly thick and nasty and overly greasy or too much sauce. The general tsos chicken is exceptional. Not too salty or oversaturated in sauce and the fried rice is tasty“

“I decided to get take out for dinner since it was rainy. I picked up fried rice & dumplings, and it was delicious! There are 8 dumplings per order so it's very filling. Service was fast. This restaurant accepts credit cards and offers parking out front! Overall 10/10 experience no compliments ☺️“
