We tried Golden Buddha after reading mixed reviews and were pleasantly surprised. The owners greeted us warmly, our order was ready in about 15 minutes, and everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. The interior is dated, but that’s not the point. It’s a long-running family spot that focuses on good food. Some reviews mentioned cold food, but ours was steaming hot, likely just a delivery issue. Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely order again!
I had been craving some General Tzo's chicken for a hot minute, and its probably been 20 years since I ate food from here. The flavor of the main fish was everything I had hoped for, I did not particularly care for the fried rice. It seemed just like white rice wirh soy sauce. Was better mixed with the dish. I haven't eaten much Chinese take out in general, and the food sat heavy with me the night I ate it and the next morning.
EDIT: This time I got the Gen Tso's Shrimp + Beef Fried Rice. The Gen Tso's Chicken is excellent, but the Shrimp was disappointing. It was 50% broccoli, and the shrimp were not really Jumbo; they were at least 30-40% breading. Also, the steamed rice tasted a little off. The Beef Fried Rice was excellent as usual (maybe just a tad too salty, but still delicious).
