Best Chinese and service around. It’s a staple for Chinese food— they’ve been around longer than I’ve been alive.
We’ve Have had birthdays here and a wedding first dance! Waitstaff is amazing - bartenders are awesome— true family atmosphere but elevated. Outside seating in the summer - amazing Chinese New Year celebration - don’t miss it.
Take out /delivery is amazing too!

I went here last night for my birthday and my husband and I had a wonderful time. The service was great. The atmosphere was great. The food was delicious and then we went to the E bar room and had more drinks and listen to music. The bartender was great. He gave us free shots. It was the best time we’ve had in a long time. Thank you for taking care of us.

My girlfriend introduced me to this place. The crowd was a little off early in the night but makes more sense later on. The service was everything. The bartenders put on a show the host does a walk by handing out samples the DJ knows exactly what to play. The food is better than the drinks though.

Always a great time for a group of friends to get together. Food and service is consistently good (although they need to improve their crab Rangoon recipe)

Disappointed after many years coming to Golden Temple. Our waiter served cold food,we sent back to be heated. Never received part of order,asked a few times and charged us. Things were definitely off .

I have been going there for over 20 years and this is the first time the service was extremely slow. I had to flag down someone to take our order. Otherwise everything was great.

I love Golden Temple. I went there to celebrate my birthday and the service was great. They gave a sweet treat and gave a rose to those who attended. The food was awesome and overall the vibes were great.

Been dining here for over 5 years. Consistent food and service. Favorites are Golden Temple Ribs (the best Ribs hands down!), Golden Cloud Noodles (crispy and light), Clams and Black Bean, GT Mai Tai or Stoli Doli. Great atmosphere for dining or head over to E Room bar for music and drinks. I also use the delivery service which is open after midnight. I should mention they cook with quality ingredients including olive and canola oil which is a big plus for me! Great for hanging with friends for a late night out. Had a b'day dance party in E room - Fun great vibe

Mild, under-seasoned food with high prices. Even our cocktails weren't that tasty. Wanted to like it more as it is a favorite of two friends, but just disappointed.

I spent $196.00 on food and there wasn’t one item in the order that I would buy again! The famous spareribs were so dry, the chow mein was like slop, beef lo mein noodles were raw and the beef was slimy. I was even disappointed in the scallion pancakes which were soaked with oil. And how do you mess up an egg roll? I can’t believe how overpriced they are and such low quality food!
Years ago Golden Temple was one of the better places to buy Chinese food. I could not believe they serve this food. Will be sure to let others know how this place has went downhill. Maybe by skimping on good quality ingredients and highly trained cooks they are paying for the renovations.
Sorry about the rant but I am pretty upset about spending all the money on food that I will be feeding to my trash can!!!

I honestly don’t understand how this place remains in business. This was by far the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. It was so bad I wouldn’t even give it to my dog. Save yourself the disappointment and spend your money elsewhere.

I haven't been here in a long while but I have been going to Golden Temple since I was a kid. The BBQ Spareribs are the just as I remember them if not better, the ambiance is light and airy and the service is spot on.
