Well, really. I simply cannot believe that I have never taken the time to review Golden Wok, whom I've patronized for many, many years. How tacky of me. Let's just go ahead and fix that now, shall we? To my mind, some of the best dishes at GW (yes, I called it that) are the ones that are just a bit out of the ordinary. The offering of plump scallops in a white wine reduction proves my point rather vividly doesn't it? Or how about a plentiful serving of tofu with five-spice sauce? (For those playing along at home, the spices in question are fennel, star anise, cloves, Sichuan peppercorn, and the cinnamon relative known as cassia). Sssssssssssssssssss! No, I'm not casting aspersions - I was in fact just reminded of their black-pepper strip steak served on a sizzling platter! Then again, how often do you see a soup made with pork and Zha Cai (pickled mustard greens) at your usual Chinese restaurant? Yes, that's what I thought you'd say. To sum up, if you're looking for a little diversion from the everyday with regards to Chinese cuisine, I think Golden Wok will suit you just fine. And then again (it's vacillation time people), there's something to be said for the old favorites, and Lord knows GW has them in large numbers (abbondanza!) as well. The yellow curry-kissed, mixed-meat extravaganza often known as "Singapore noodles" (although it's about as Singaporean as I am) is a standout dish in this regard, as are the plentiful (in terms of both variety and size) egg fu yung offerings. Oh, you're in a poultry kind of mood today? Then may I suggest a little ginger duck, or almond chicken? I think you'll approve. Don't worry, vegetable fans, I wouldn't dream of leaving you out - see if a little Yuxiang (garlic-sauce) eggplant or a snowpea/black mushroom stirfry will ring those culinary chimes for you. I think it's pretty safe to say that Golden Wok will suit a wide range of palates - and in fact, I just said exactly that, so how much more motivation do you need to try them out already?

The staff was friendly, however, they were eating when we arrived and I feel like we interrupted their meal. We were the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered chicken and broccoli and hot and sour soup. The soup was good, but the chicken was flavorless. It tasted like they took chicken stock and thickened it with a slurry. Definitely not up to my standards.

Been looking for a good Chinese Restaurant in my area. I believe I have found it. Food was very good and service was great. Love the decor and good vibes that the place gives out. Will be back.

Had food delivered from here the other night. Wasn't the worst, wasn't the best. Hubby and I both had the sesame chicken and I added some veggies to it. It was nice they catered to my wants. The sesame chicken was good but a little mooshy. The snap peas were so thin and also mooshy. Hot and sour soup was good. Egg drop was not - very bland with no tofu and hardly and veggies. One of the worst I've had. Egg roll was good and but but very greasy on the outside. All in all I'm a bit unimpressed. I think I would rather try my luck trying to find something a little better nearby.

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.

One of my favorite places to eat with the wifey. Today we did the family dinner special which comes with; your choice of a soup, a pupu platter that includes : 1 beef skewer, 1 shrimp, 1 egg roll, 1 crab cheese wonton, 1 chicken wing & 1 BBQ rib per person dining as well as an entrée of your choice with rice. We chose the Szechwan Chicken & Sesame Chicken as entrées and split them. Absolutely delicious! The special is $16.95 per person ams worth every cent. Our server was fantastic and this place is spotlessly cleaned.
