Really good and consistent. I’ve never really had a bad experience.
The Social Conscience
I've had Chinese Food from over 30 restaurants on the east coast, and this one may have just lowered the bar.
Food was soggy and bland, got the usual to be fair and consistent, but my basic order just did not make the cut.
I wanted to like it since they were close, but the basic menu items (Rice, Orange Chicken, Shrimp, chicken, vegetables) will need to improve for me to come back

Really good. Ok prices. Unique flavor and home made. Workers seem like they know many of the customers

Let's get this out of the way: I have been coming here for almost 18 years! Even when the place was on it's old location on 202. Now.... it's been so terrible of late, I can't come back. 1) the service Very unfriendly, hardly any words exchanged. During my entire lunch, the only sentence produced by one of the wait staff was "are you ready to order". No other word. They sullenly walk around the room, dragging the heels of they flip flops across the room as they shuffle by with a light frown on their faces. They must hate their job, their life - or both. 2) The food Out of three items I had, only one was nice (the dumplings in spicy broth, my go-to-dish in all those years). The sweet-sour soup was so thick with (MSG? Gluten?) that you almost felt you could stick a spoon in there and it won't fall over. The General Tsao chicken was rubbery, the fried rice bland.... I couldn't eat half of it. 3) Atmosphere The USED to have real silverware, porcelain plates... like a "real" restaurant. Now: my food was served in to-go containers! All of it. The soup, the dumplings, the chicken: all in plastic to go containers, just without the lid. I guess saves them money for dish-washing. Horrible.
Sorry guys, whoever the (new?) owner is, your take-out rate appeared good (5 to-go orders were picked up while I had lunch) but I won't be back. It's time to say good bye.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but Golden Wok, as my local Chinese food place, deserves it. They’re prompt and they always get the order right and the food is delicious and consistent. It’s also quick; a 15 or 20 min wait at most. You can’t go wrong!!

Went there for family holiday dinner. Food was absolutely delicious. Portion size were large and such a good value for the price. Dined in use of paper plates and plastic cups were not fancy, but it was absolutely fine with me! Highly recommend!
Switched to here after our prior place changed owners. Very happy with the taste. We get takeout rather than eating in.

They are busy because they are the best! In my honest opinion, this is the best Chinese food I’ve had in NJ. They have both American and traditional Chinese options. Really good!!

Get from here weekly. Quality white meat chicken was the big seller for me. Nice staff as well. Surprisingly reasonable prices considering the quality of everything is so good.

Recently they purposely removed their lunch menu from all the online ordering menus. I can give you one good reason why they did that, but I'm sure you can figure out why! That's greed! Its not right in any way! They would of got 5 stars if it wasn't for that!!LUNCH MENUTuesday-Saturday 11am-3pmLook for a picture I took of the lunch menu. Prices might have changed.
