“We’ve been regulars here for years and for good reason. The facility is impressively clean, and the service is some of the best in town—friendly, attentive, and fast.
I’ve tried a bit of everything: the lunch specials (Shrimp/Combo), soups, and Lo Mein. The food is consistently delicious, well-portioned, and very fairly priced. The egg drop soup is my favorite in town. If you're looking for fresh food and a team that actually cares about their customers, this is the place. This is not a buffet but individually prepared dishes. You will find a favorite.“

“I don't live in Independence anymore, but even from the West Coast where Asian cuisine is supposed to be top notch, I still think about Golden Rice almost everyday. I love their chicken, and their green beans are so damn good that I forget how much I hated green beans as a kid. Like... I HATED green beans.
I'm visiting soon, and I'm going to make it a point to visit this time.“

Drive through only. I appreciate that. This is probably the best Chinese food I've ever had. The orange chicken is top notch. The chicken is good quality, no gristle pieces that usually come in Chinese food. The rice is so flavorful, it's even a yellowish color like it's cooked in something. My new favorite spot.“

“Good food, they give you a TON of rice but not enough shrimp
Fast forward to today (1/1/2026): I ordered my usual, Shrimp fried rice. I got home, and counted EIGHT DAMN SHRIMP in my order!! But enough rice to feed a small family. And to top it off, the shrimp were not cooked enough and I had to cook them some more. If this is not resolved by giving me a free meal, or at least at a discount off another meal I’ll never eat there again.
*in response to your response: me and my mother have eaten at your restaurant numerous times and there have been way more than 8 shrimp in previous orders. Maybe all the chefs should stick to the same amounts of shrimp & time they cook them so no one has to complain when they notice the difference. No worries, I just will not return as a customer.“

“The staff is always courteous and kind. I'm shy so I don't talk well, and so I can't ask her name, but she's always cool, and if you've been here before, you know.
Parking is always kinda crazy, but plenty of spaces.
Orange chicken, general tsos chicken, chicken fried rice...always great.“

They have a good amount of meat and vegetables in the food. The portion sizes are big. The food tastes fresh. I get the tofu. The sesame chicken is great, too.

“Food is great! Service is mediocre at best, almost makes you not want to order from there. Never a friendly smile when picking up food, spent over $80 and the owner tried to charge me for extra sweet and sour sauce while giving me one small cup for 5 meals.“

“Wow! We have eaten here many times and been very delighted with the food. Today however was a different story. This is the first time we have ever ordered on a Sunday. Maybe the lower quality was because they were trying to use up food because they are closed tomorrow? We ordered general's chicken chicken lo mein and egg rolls. The egg rolls were obviously reheated in the microwave and so chewy that we could not even invite them. The chicken lo mein was awful. I guess the low main part was okay but the chicken tasted like chicken that had been in someone's refrigerator for three or four days and been reheated. Although the general's chicken the chicken was good, you could not even bite through the onions and the broccoli was hard as a rock. Because we have had good prior experiences I will try to order here again but maybe not on a sunday?“

“Went here for Dim Sum and it was delicious! Sadly it wasn't traditional where they come around with items on cart anymore so most items are served together and it can get overwhelming on the table. There is a large menu to choose from when ordering and the wait was minimal.
Most servers were friendly and personable except one girl who barely acknowledged you when asked what item she was throwing down onto the table.
*Beware that they have regular priced entree items on their Dim Sum menu and they are a lot more $$.
Not sure why they do this when they also give you an actual menu?? It totally threw off our bill as many in our party were dupped when ordering off the Dim Sum menu and didn't realize special pricing until it was too late. Sly tactic on restaurants' part so patrons be alert!
Besides that, our party enjoyed the food and private dining area.“

“This is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants! The dine-in experience is always fresh and hot, with generous portions at excellent prices. The service is top-notch, and the scallops are impressive—large and perfectly cooked, not the small ones you find elsewhere. Highly recommend!“

“The buffet is small but it's an insane deal. The hot and sour soup and egg drop are so good. Full of meat/veggies and eggs respectively unlike other places where it is mostly broth. Chicken on a stick and green beans are other favorites. Recommend trying it out as a low key nice spot!“

“We live about 10 minutes away and this has become our favorite local takeout spot. The sesame chicken is my daughter’s favorite, my husband always gets the chicken skewers, and I switch between the General Tso’s and Kung Pao. It’s always good, portions are big, and the staff remember our faces now which is nice.“

“Food and service was amazing for what me and my wife got they were also willing to give her a different dish she forgot to tell them she didn't want vegetables with no arguing they were quick to change music was loud hard to hear over it and also the setting was nice
Parking: Getting a parking space is easy backing out and driving to the street is a little more difficult when parking lot is full“

“excellent food! Some of the best Chinese takeout I’ve had in this area. They have a different take on the pork fried rice. It’s not roast pork. They cook the pork differently, giving the rice a altogether improved flavor. I went basic with the chicken wings and they are to die for. This place is a hidden gem.“

“Hands down the BEST Crab Rangoon you'll find anywhere!! Not bland at all!! And the fried rice is amazing! They actually give you extra broccoli if you ask! Sorry but everywhere else we've tried I've never received the extra broccoli when I ask! You won't regret ordering or eating in from here!“

“First time there. Ordered pork lomein, it was decent, full of flavor and the fact it had broccoli was a plus. My only thing was it was the tenderloin style pork, and I prefer the regular sliced/strip meat. The portion size was very good, enough for at least 2 or 3 meals. Next time I will try the fried rice.“

“Foods good! Its just pretty expensive! I do believe it is family owned tho and they are always very friendly and welcoming. Food is made fresh, I've never once gotten food that wasn't straight out of the oven here. If you can afford to spend like $50 for two people to eat, definitely do. I'd rather my money go to a family owned place than a corporation anyway“

“One of my favorite sushi spots! The location is convenient, the staff are always friendly, and the food is wonderful! I live very nearby, so being able to walk to a nice restaurant without needing a vehicle is very nice. They also offer very reasonable and affordable prices on their menu, as well as some more expensive items for a bit more luxury if you so desire!
They have a lot of good options, and I never worry about the freshness of their fish. Although, my favorites are the Hokkaido roll and the Kyoto roll, usually with a small bottle of their green apple or white peach sake.
The atmosphere is lovely with their easy seating, colorful banners, and art decor. And they have a wonderful service as well.
This last time tonight when my girlfriend and I ordered, they also gave us an extra bottle of sake on the house! I was very touched by this.
Overall, I will continue to be a customer to this lovely little sushi spot! It's not in the biggest area, but please give it the love it deserves!“
