As an Asian I find it very difficult to find decent Asian cuisine in the USA but Golden River is my go-to and I'm glad I found it in 2014. Even my mother, when visiting me from abroad, was impressed with the dishes she ordered. The prices are very fair too. I recommend the thin shell wonton soup and the chicken/beef with broccoli.

Absolutely a place worth trying, the food is excellent and fresh, the rates are reasonable and it is regularly well kept there. Highly recommended.

The lunch was really bad. General Toes chicken tasted like toes. Smallest lunch portion. Half of a pint of soup instead of a pint. Don't bother, go anywhere instead.

This restaurant provides fantastic service and tasty menu. One of the best place around town. The drinks and food arrived quick and the rates are affordable. Highly recommended.

I've been eating here for decades. Used to be cash only. Now they accept credit cards. Cool ! They never used to deliver. Looks like they do now (delivery services) although I still go pick it up as I'm in the habit of doing so. Plenty of parking available. It's good delicious food 90% of the time. So I keep coming back ! :-) I've tried all the other Chinese places in the area. This is the best. Some places really suck and some are decent but this one has consistently outperformed them all for years and years. I would say, if you don't know, try it out. Personally, I can easily recommend it because I've had great success here most of the time. Pan fried Dumplings and dumpling sauce are great. Spring rolls hit the spot. Noodles are good. Chicken dishes are good. Veggies are delightful - Broccoli and eggplant dishes are so delicious. Nearly all the dishes are pretty good. I've had almost all of the menu over the years and I'm pretty happy and satisfied. I must be since I've been eating here what seems like forever. I've only had a hit or miss relationship with two dishes over the years - General Tso's chicken and Mongolian beef. A few times, the meats were simply not great. Chewy inedible beef is a tragic and horrible thing. Dry chicken just makes me so angry because it is completely unnecessary. For some reason, I've had these particular bad experience at many many Chinese places. I have no idea why. Maybe the supplier sold subpar or bad or outdated food or maybe the restaurant didn't check. Or perhaps it's prepackaged frozen freeze dried meat (General Tso's chicken nuggets) and it wasn't cooked / prepared correctly after they took it out of the freezer ?!?!? Honestly, I don't know why but I do know that I am absolutely not happy when it ends up on my fork. Fortunately, here, it has only occurred a handful of times. I just chalk it up to karma ! (Since this has happened to me at almost every restaurant where I have ordered these dishes) You can imagine my joy and happiness when I order these dishes and they are well done and the meats are perfect !!! Oh yeah - love it ! So, to sum up, I will continue to eat here as long as I live around here - I love it and my family loves it, and when we have guests, they love the food. I'm mostly quite satisfied with the quality of the food and the quick and friendly service, the convenience of the location and the easy parking, and of course, the very reasonable pricing. Overall, I can easily say that this is my go to place whenever I am hungry for delicious Chinese cuisine. It is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area, and it will remain as such for the foreseeable future ! By the way, I'm not the only one who digs this place and the food and the friendly service - from my personal experience, and in fact, every time I've been there, they are ALWAYS busy with walk-ins and with people calling in their orders. Come on, there's a reason for that. The reason is that folks know good food and this restaurant is serving it up hot and fresh every day of the week and even every hour of every day, with no signs of slowing down, thank goodness !!! I'm already looking forward to my next order. Thank you and keep up the good work, guys... :-)

My wife and I ordered orange beef the chefs special. Let me tell you there was nothing special about it. It actually looked like bunch of slop. I wish I took a picture. The quality of the beef was so low. I couldn’t even tell it was beef. slop

Everything was great! First time going to Golden River and we were more than satisfied. We didn't think they would deliver to where we live in Huntington, but they did. Next time we are craving Chinese food we will definitely be calling Golden River. Egg rolls were fresh and not over fried like you'll get at other Chinese food places. Boneless Short ribs were fresh, not fatty at all and perfectly sauced. We enjoyed it all, Thanks Tony!

I ordered 6 chicken wings and received 6 little chicken thighs. I went inside to inform them of the mishaps, the worker claimed that the chicken thighs were chicken wings. The chicken was overcooked on the outside and the skin inside was still yellow, in which tasted horrible
I just ordered from this place through door dash. I ordered the general tso's chicken. Each piece was almost entirely BATTER, hardly any meat. I uploaded a picture with a piece cut in half so you can see the lack of meat. That was the most disgusting food I've ever eaten. Never again.

Singapore mai fun was the best i have had. Egg rolls and lo mein were a tad salty. Wings are cooked very well. Moist and also crispy. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

went there on a whim , don't think i'll be going back ! food was sub par at best. I love this soup called yat-gaw-mein , pork noodle soup . so that's what I ordered , I should have looked at the menu because they put shrimp in it . when I said "pork" maybe they should have said something ? so , okay , maybe my bad , I eat it anyway . not sure what else was in there ? had a funny taste and I think it may have had sand in it , maybe came off the shrimp ? not going back to find out !

I was in the area because I had to drop off my son at school. I said let me give them one last chance to prove me wrong about reviews I read on this site. I ordered boneless spareribs combination. The boneless spareribs were so over cooked they were literally BLACK! Like shoe leather. I called up to complain and the person that answered the phone seemed like he didn’t even care. I was waiting for him to say I’ll credit you on your credit card. But he didn’t! If you’re looking for a good Chinese restaurant this is not the place. If the owner reads this review he needs to start listening to his customers when they say on the phone please don’t over cook the boneless spareribs. I was totally ignored. Bad choice!
