Golden Sun — Restaurant in Lemont

The food USED to be very good, but there must be new owners. Aug.2023: Ordered an egg roll & small beef fried rice for a quick lunch while on the road. It was $9.20!!! Decided to eat at the one table in the empty foyer, rather than in my car. My small beef fried rice was dry & totally tasteless + lacking green onion, bean sprouts or egg, (as others have noted.) Just dry beef slivers & dry rice & some peas & carrot cubes. Had to request hot mustard & only received 1 sweet & sour & 1 soy sauce. Both packaged egg roll sauces were subpar—watery, cheaply made, w/a wierd taste & color so I did not enjoy the egg roll tho it was at least hot. Never saw egg roll sauces this watery & cheaply made (& tasting) in my life.

My first job was w/a very popular & reasonably priced Chinese takeout place in the Bogan H.S. Area. The chef was an incredible cook & taught me to make & appreciate GOOD Chinese food! He sold & eventually owned a successful & fancy place in NY before he died. Now THAT was good Chinese food—both near Bogan & in NY!

The SouthWest Suburbs have few Chinese restaurants—especially for good carryout. I hate to criticize a restaurant during post-pandemic hard times, but if you cant stand the heat—get out of the kitchen! The previous owners probably sold you their recipes when you bought the place, but if so, you are obviously not using them as the food & quality have greatly declined. Golden Sun is now overpriced & tasteless. I arrived famished—so I reluctantly finished my egg roll, but threw most of my beef fried rice away when I got home. Sorry, but I will...

The food is good, but the deliveries take almost two hours even if you only live a few minutes away. Today they lost our order so I had to call them and give them the order again, then they had to call back a few minutes later to confirm the order and they were missing the appetizer. This is the only place around here that delivers sushi and Pagoda House doesn't deliver anymore, otherwise we wouldn't be ordering from here again. Like I said the food is good, but they lost our order today and always take a long time to deliver. They did throw in crab rangoon at no charge, but we don't like crab rangoon. We would have rather had a few bucks taken off the bill and they didn't give...

The old owners were so sweet and cooked very good food. It now seems that they sold out to some sort of franchise that uses a centralized ordering office and all I have had are mistakes on my orders lately and they owed me 6 egg rolls on my last order and refuse to honor them because of “new ownership” sounds like a common excuse for them now. The quality have the food has been below average on my last few orders as well. I used to recommend golden sun to everyone but I will be ordering from and recommending other local places...
