Golden Buddha Restaurant is a hidden gem for Chinese take-out. Despite its unassuming appearance, the food is fantastic with huge portion sizes. The fresh spring rolls are a standout, not greasy. Customers appreciate the personal service, with orders brought out to the car. Popular dishes like General Tsao's and wonton soup are generously portioned and reasonably priced, making it a go-to spot for many locals. The restaurant offers authentic food with real ingredients, not frozen mass-produced spring and egg rolls. The fried rice is full of veggies and chunks of meat, though some find it less satisfying. The dumplings are hand-crimped in-house. The interior is eclectic and a bit dated, but visitors come for the delicious food rather than ambiance. The owners are very nice and greet customers warmly, contributing to a friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is known for fast service despite being busy, with orders ready in about 15 minutes. Parking can be tricky, but the location is convenient once found. This long-running family spot is a must-try for affordable and tasty Chinese cuisine, with many customers planning to return.
