Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I love coming here for lunch or dinner. My family and I have been going to this restaurant for over 15 years. It's a great place to go you're treated like family the prices are reasonable the portions are large Tom and Lisa are so friendly !!! The eggrolls are the best I've ever had. The orange chicken is amazing. Everything on the menu is great

This is a old favorite! I have been coming here since I was in High School and I am never disappointed. Fried rice and the fan favorite Orange Chicken are amazing

I ordered the sweet and sour shrimp and egg foo young and was dissapointed with the lack of flavor, the dry texture and the overall quality. I have good interactions with an employee there, so I added a star. The egg foo young was a dry, flavorless, seemingly premade patty. The sauce was alright, the chicken and veggies were good. Part of my disappointment is that I prefer a freshly made patty with the veggies and meat mixed in and a slightly thinner sauce. The sweet and sour shrimp wasn't high in flavor and was dry and could have used some more sauce. I believe I was dissapointed with the food the last time I ordered there as well, so I'm going to have to scratch this restaurant off of my list. It seems a lot of people like this place, so maybe it's just that my preferences don't mesh with this restaurant's output.

Huge portions and friendly staff! Will definitely come back the cashew chicken was the best I've ever had!

Ridiculously delicious! I haven't had Chinese food this good in the valley for a very long time. I'd given up on the category in lieu of much tastier Thai options, but Golden Valley has put Chinese takeout back on my menu. I've eaten here twice now for lunch and each time I've been blown away. On my first trip I tried the Yu Shing beef, which was a risky option since I haven't really liked it at other restaurants but felt like something spicy and usually this dish includes eggplant (at least where I've tried it). This is the best version of this dish I have ever tasted. They don't use eggplant but I quickly got over it as the beef was perfect, not chewy and full of flavor. The sauce wasn't gummy and the vegetables were nice and crisp (one of the factors that has drawn me to Thai cuisine as I hate mushy vegetables). I also chose the egg drop soup and it was very good, perhaps not the best I've ever had but certainly near the top. Eggrolls are also one of my "Litmus Foods" that I use to judge the quality of a restaurant, and the eggroll that came with my lunch special was one of the better eggrolls I've had in awhile (I think Jack-in-the-Box eggrolls are among the best around if that gives you a baseline on my tastes). The eggrolls at Golden Valley have a good selection of vegetables with a slightly sweet flavor that I really enjoy. On my second trip I ordered the Mongolian BBQ Beef lunch special on takeout. Takeout doesn't include the soup but that's pretty common among oriental restaurants that offer a lunch special so I won't dock them points for that. I ordered a tea to go and the to-go cup they gave me was a good 32oz size. The Mongolian Beef was so good it was ridiculous. I almost think my tongue was dreaming and reporting something unreal because that's how good this Mongolian Beef was. THE BEST Mongolian Beef I've ever had and that includes PF Chang's. The onions were crispy and the beef full of flavor. All the lunch menus comes with pork fried rice which is pretty average but I appreciated it better than plain white rice. It was good enough to mix in with the meals and sauces. It's the kind of fried rice you'd get on a side though, so I won't judge it as their entree version. Value is certainly the most surprising aspect of Golden Valley. Their lunch portions are huge. I usually skip the lunch menu because the portions are too small to do me justice but in this case they provide plenty of food for the money. If you sit down, order anything off the lunch menu that doesn't include seafood and a drink, the whole experience will set you back $7.75 (incl tax) plus tip. For that you get a cup of soup, an entree, fried rice and an eggroll. As an example of the portion size, when I ordered to go, the Mongolian Beef completely filled the entree section of the standard size styrofoam clamshell. Needless to say: I am full! All for about the same price as a large Double Quarter Pounder combo at McDonald's and with about ten times the flavor. The atmosphere is comfortable. It's clean, modest, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I was really surprised given the location and outward appearance of the building. It's really hit or miss when you step into a strip-mall restaurant what you're going to get but this location is a testament to hole-in-the-wall dining. Simply a pleasure. I think I've found my go-to place for a quick lunch to go.

Great food, excellent prices. Friendly service, and large portions. This may be a little place and not to fancy but excellent food. I love the garlic chicken
(5)Celeste S.
love this place . Tommy is awesome, treats you like family. the food is amazingly good and so much in a serving. lunch is a super deal, soup, entree, rice and egg roll, for like six bucks. and there was enough for lunch at work the next day too!
(5)Saul F.
This place is so good it's Mesa hidden treasure . The last time I was here was like back in..07 I think..and came back and the food is still awesome!. The only thing is the service that they gave us was not to good. She was probably having a bad day but when your serving customers you should try to but all your stuff aside and try to give the best service you can. Other than that this place is still very good I will come back again for sure. Won't let it last to long to come back
(4)Aaron S.
Tommy is really nice and the food is awesome! The service is amazing as well. The portions are big so you can feed two or take it as left over for lunch the next day! Amazing place to eat!
(5)Alexis R.
Been going here since I was little! It's a hole in the wall! We don't even call it golden valley, we call it toms (the owner) he's so amazing! He knows us by name and knows our drinks! He doesn't even have to ask! Always start of with pot stickers and won ton soup! Orange chicken, lo mien, fried rice, beef broccoli...I've been here 13 times since 2015...we don't ever go to any other Chinese place
(5)Tiffani L.
Golden Valley has been a family favorite for over 15 years. Tommy is amazing, he remembers repeat customers. Each time we come in my daughter is asked if she still would like unsweetened iced tea and if my sister would like low sodium soy sauce. The food, *sigh*. I swear I dream about it.. don't judge! Super good, super fast and plenty of food for 2 meals on each plate. There is a reason that we have been visiting Golden Valley for 15 years... it's just THAT good.
(5)KingMat T.
I have to say that for the money this may be the best bang for your buck! A huge plate of QUALITY Chinese food for under $6.00??? That's exactly what it is. I recommend this place to everyone I know and every time they say the same thing..... Simply the best!
(5)Lisa G.
Went here again recently with family, was again amazing! So worth the price! No noise for one was awesome Nice quiet meal with family. :)
(5)Mark D.
This place is awesome big portions for a great price. Tom the owner is a very down to earth person tries to get to know every one of his customers as best as he can I've been going there for quite a while and always treated with respect I went there when I was sick to get a bowl of egg soup and he gave it to me for free great neighborhood restaurant.
(5)Valerie A.
Somewhat surprised by this place. Placed to go order over the phone and food was ready in 10-15 mins. General location is left to be desirable-- run down strip mall that seems like a ghost town. But food was ok for a local Chinese restaurant. Not spectacular by any means but you get what you pay for. Host was friendly and welcomed us to the neighborhood as we mentioned we had just moved to the area.
(3)Tim M.
Overall a very good Chinese restaurant. The Orange chicken, Beef broccoli and Triple delight a very good. The Teriyaki chicken was just ok and the egg roll was good, but not great. Very reasonably priced very good food.
(4)Lauren G.
Just found this place last week and my husband and I have already been twice. They have the BEST fried rice we have ever had and their food has been great both times! Definitely try the sweet and sour chicken and fried rice. We always carry out and it's fast and easy but they are always super friendly in there! I'm so happy I found this place on yelp!
(5)Sole B.
Fabulous food! Never disappointed! Amazing people, your glass is never empty and your plate is loaded with freshly prepared deliciousness! Family owned - a diamond!
(5)Blair W.
I loved this place! I am picky about Chinese food, and the food I received here was delicious and quick. The servers were extremely polite and friendly. I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. I will definitely return next time I am in Mesa!
(5)Marilynn L.
Surprisingly not bad...and super cheap for the portion size and service. I liked that it wasn't too greasy. Recommend the vegetarian options (soup with tofu was clean and bright tasting and the mushroom/tofu/chestnuts dish was tasty as well. The standards like General Tso's and the Peppered Beef were also good.
(3)Patrick G.
The previous reviews are all accurate, especially about the egg roll. After so many years of panda express I almost felt guilty with the amount of food for the price. If you are looking for old school Chinese food, this is the place.
(5)Sara C.
The food was no bueno, and I'm a little terrified that the only two diners robbed the place after I left. Very nice staff...and the prepackaged fortune cookie was tasty!

Ugh, my first night in mesa I went and picked this food up. I had no internet and no food in my house so I had to use proximity as my only judgment of where to eat. There were a lot of people eating here, so that made me feel hopeful for a minute. When I got the food home it was some of the worst food I've had in a long time. I ordered chicken chow mein and it came with those noodles from a bag. The crispy ones used to dip in sweet sauce, not pan fried noodles. Now that may have been my mistake, but what wasn't was that the chicken that was supposed to go over top was poor quality and had this weird white gooey tasteless 'sauce' on it. I couldn't eat it. My boyfriend got sweet and sour chicken which also was poor quality and was not good. I would not recommend this place.

I have been going to Golden Valley for 10 years and (admittedly) I have brought quite a string of boyfriends through there! Tom (the owner) is always friendly, ready to meet someone new, and impresses EVERYONE by remembering what they order to drink, what level of spice they like, and what they typically order. Their waitstaff is always outstanding. If you show up 15 minutes 'til close you are still more than welcome to dine-in. The portion sizes are phenomenal, the prices are great, and this is THE best eggroll you will ever have - hands down.
(5)Brianna M.
This is probably not my favorite Chinese restaurant but wow they are cheap and the service is GREAT! The food is good and I always walk out with a smile. I will keep coming back for more :)
(4)Adrian T.
Very nice friendly service. Food very good and prices really reasonable. Big portions

Let me start by saying I am very picky when it comes to dining out. Chinese food is about the only dining experience I ever look forward to going to, so I'm always looking for the next best place to get Chinese. Let me also say that I frequented a Chinese restaurant back in Pennsylvania that was absolutely the best, so my expectations are high and I've been trying to find one that can maybe please me here in Arizona. Golden Valley comes pretty damn close to being as good as my favorite place back home. Don't let the looks fool you, I went with a friend and its in a tiny run down strip mall and you can barely tell its open. As the old saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Once we got in, it kind of smells and looks like a pizza shop, but all the Chinese authenticies your used to are present here. This restaurant is actually run by Asian people as well, as one of my pet peeves is when you go to a Chinese restaurant that's basically an American restaurant that just serves poor interpretations of Chinese good. At Golden Valley, its very authentic. Let me avoid rambling though and get to the point. Food is priced great, with entrees ranging from $7-$9. You get an absolute ton of food as well, and while I'm accustomed to getting enough for two meals, they give you a plate so big and so overflowing its enough for 3 FULL meals and perhaps even 4 smaller ones. It's definitely a great value. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. The owner Tom is very friendly, and I have even had some great conversations with him when the restaurant is less busy and I was eating by myself. Even when I had not visited the restaurant in two months, Tom remembered my name, and recalled stuff we talked about 2 months ago. It was a very nice hospitable feeling. The food comes fast too. Most entrees took only 5-10 minutes to come out. The food itself also tastes pretty damn good, and I would definitely go back again. Not the best by far, but certainly somewhere I would like to go again. I give this review 4 of 5 stars because everything was perfect except the meat used in the dishes. I got a chicken dish, and my friend a beef dish, and the meat in both our dishes was definitely "mystery meat" The meat was a little fattier than I expected. and had tiny bits of cartilage in it. The meal would have been next to perfect if I wasn't swallowing or having to spit out crunchy cartilage or fat deposits every few bites or so. I can't speak for the beef, but the chicken was obviously just very poor thigh, wing, and leg meat, and very fatty ones at that. I will go back though as while not the best, it was a good meal, and hopefully they will get better quality meat. Food and service is still so good though that despite this, it's worth checking this place out.

This is my favorite restaurant in the whole world. The owner Tom is truly a great friend of me and my family. We have been going there since they opened in 1998. The food is great and the prices are very affordable, especially for the amount of food you receive. This one place where the odds slim that you will ever reach the half way point of your glass before they refill it. I've have taken loads of friends and colleagues here and have yet to hear a bad comment. I notice during the lunch hours that Golden Valley is a hit for folks who are taking lunch breaks with their co-workers. I have also seen plenty of families gather to celebrate a special occasions. This a simply a wonderful family oriented restaurant with a good personality and warm atmosphere. And we all lived happily ever after..... THE END! :-) ha ha

Read a couple of reviews about this place and since i didn't live to far from the place, I decided to check it out. My first impression was meeting the nice waiter and i think the owner. Very polite and and happy. Most places usually just sit you down and walk away. But this guy was wanting to know how the day went and always had conversation. When he gave me the menu, I was delighted to see a open type letter inside the menu that introduced the owner and chef and his experience. I tried the chicken chow mein and some tea. I don't know the traditional way of a good chow mein but from where i come from, the place that i grew up eating chow mein used lots and lots of bean sprouts. I've been to many asian eateries and found only one in the valley that compares to what i grew up eating. I must say the the chow mein here is pretty comparible to what i am used to!! Great flavor and huge portion. I am going to be visiting this place more often. Thanks for the great food!!
(5)Michelle S.
Tried this place for the first time today for lunch. It was OK. Not spectacular. We had the chicken chow mein lunch special. Prices are good. I found it odd that this particular lunch special comes with a side of egg foo yung. I'd prefer almost anything but that - considering the egg foo yung wasn't at all like others I've had. But an egg roll, chicken wing or finger or boneless ribs make much better side items. And the amount of rice you get was pitiful! One small scoop the size of an ice cream scoop. Rice is the filler - there should have been more of it. The chow Mein tasted ok - it wasn't bad or anything. We've just had better.
(2)Bennett M.
I have been going to Golden Valley since I was a kid, and it's always been fantastic. The food is great, extra cheap, and can be cooked just how you want it. I love their hot and sour soup and lemon chicken especially. Your water glass is never empty! Service is good. Norah is right, Tom is the shiznit. Fantastically nice service, and it's genuine. if you go there more than a couple of times, it's a good chance he will remember you. On busy nights he isn't so much waiting tables as running around talking with friends. Highly recommended.
(5)MomOf 2.
It was okay. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken which was totally bland, didn't even have peppers in it. The egg rolls were so so, and the Egg Foo Young was so so. Not the worst, not the best. I'm from Chicago and have yet to find a decent egg roll in this state.
(2)Victor R.
This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Mesa. They give you pretty good sized dishes. The owner is really nice and always attentive. We haven't been there in a while but he still remembers our family! The Orange Beef is my favorite but everything on their menu is really well done!
