Food use to be good I always got the sesame chicken and beef lo mein. Went to the this location on Monday to order sesame chicken and it wasn’t cooked thoroughly. Told the owner about it and she tried convincing me it was cooked. I reminded her I had her food many times and it never tasted weird or was chewy with translucent. She tried to convince me it would be pink if it wasn’t which is not true considering she was using chicken breast. She made me another order and it tasted like she put cleaner in the food. Of course later that night and for a few days I had food poisoning.

My usual Chinese spot is closed on Mondays, so I figured I would try this place after getting a menu. Had the shrimp lo mein with a side of soy in a container. Well, I don't know if it was the shrimp or the sauce, but within half hour of finishing I got violently sick. I have never had such a quick and virulent reaction to Chinese food, or any other meal, in my life. My daughter had just the noodles and thankfully was ok. Will never order from here again!

Had an interesting experience ordering here for the first time. Told the lady my order and I asked for light oil on the shrimp and broccoli but she didn’t respond. So before the call ended, I asked “did you hear what I mentioned about the light oil” she rudely goes “I heard you, I know you. I know what you always order”….well thing is I was a first time customer so hardly likely that she knew me. The food itself was sub par. The shrimp had a smell and an aftertaste that was not pleasant. The shrimp rolls were very good though.

Ordered broccoli and shrimp. Dish had no flavor. First time I didn’t like rice from a Chinese restaurant. Seemed over cooked. Spring rolls were good.

My mother went into golden river not even 15 minutes ago and was profiled. She greeted the person behind the counter very pleasantly and as she was looking at menu they stared at her. She went to order Vegetable egg foo young and they proceeded to say “egg foo young is sold out” and also “we’re closing soon” while other people are sitting down and enjoying they’re meal but when it came to my mother a person of color she was dismissed. Very rude and unfortunate when this place is spoken highly of. So sad she couldn’t eat this establishment. Wouldn’t waste my time going back.

The general Tso sauce strikes the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and umami. And they give you so much chicken. Pork egg roll was 2 bucks so why not??

A no frills kinda place, but perfect for a quick meal. We always do takeout, but there are a couple of tables inside.

This restaurant most closely resembles the chinese food you get in nyc, it's good. The food is tastes great. They have a lunch special. It's affordable compared to other "Chinese" restaurants in town. They also deliver.Parking: Parking along Bloomfield Ave is always tough. I wouldn't recommend double parking. There are paid lots in town.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the street leve
