5% for using a card, food is over priced, service was horrible (rude and we got up to ask for napkins and refills on water). When bringing the pitcher of water she turned around and took a spoon and scooped something out then proceeded to come fill our drinks.

It was the only Chinese place open so we tried it. We should’ve read the reviews before, but we didn’t. The sauce was OK. The rice was OK. The meat was disgusting. The chicken was like rubber. I couldn’t even chew it. We will not be going there again and yes They were not very friendly

We just order from here tonight. I ordered C2 combination plate (shrimp chow mein). I don’t even know what I got, but it’s definitely not chow mein.. and it looks to me as there is mold all over the cabbage.

Food was horrible, the orange chicken was literally ORANGE, the taste was sour. Rice was “ok” and it was the only think we could eat. Egg rolls had orange meat inside, my mom could not eat them.

Service is BAD, personal is rude, but they hope you give them a tip. ?

Atmosphere, the lady in charge stared at us the whole time, checking how much we ate.

✨ NO RECOMMEND ✨

I have been going here more than 15 years and always enjoy an opportunity to return. I look for consistency in food taste and that is why I enjoy it. I know what I'm getting always especially on the buffet. I can't speak to take out but be patient for food to be refilled on buffet and you can't go wrong. More food coming as former owner Bill would say. Best hot and sour soup anywhere.

I may think this way because I’ve grown up eating from here almost every week, but this is the best place to get Chinese food hands down. Because of traveling jobs, I’ve eaten Chinese food all over. Nothing compares to golden garden.

Front step/entrance is dangerous, particularly for the elderly or people with mobility issues. It's a clear ADA violation. Perhaps the State, or County folks need to get involved, as clearly the City and owner of the building have done nothing to address this. I wouldn't go back there. Food was so so, prices were reasonable. It was the only place open downtown the day we were there.

Wheelchair accessibility: Non existent. Really shameful. ADA violation that should be reported to State or County officials and remedied.

I cannot recommend the lunch buffet. The food was extremely dried out, and most bins were empty. The rice was too hard & crunchy to eat. Perhaps ordering from their regular menu will be better and more fresh.

My daughter and her friend Got there Buffet and got stared at the whole entire time. Before my daughter was done eating I ordered three egg rolls as I was taking to go. When I got back to the table I sat down and took a small drink of my daughter's Mountain Dew as we continued to talk my daughter got up to get a refill and was denied because I took a drinkn??‍♀️ I was Shoocked as we order food here all the time and I tip very well and was literally a tiny sip as it was about gone as it was. I had a $10 tip on the table but definitely took that with me after she was so rude. We will NEVER BE BACK!!!
