Golden China Restaurant — Restaurant in Salinas

We need to made a stop at Salina on the way to SF so we are searching for chinese food dinner.

Once I look at the Golden China food picture in Yelp I told my husband use must try this restaurant.

First my husband was skeptical about the restaurant but once the dishes arrived our table he immediately change his mind.

We order West Lake Soup : this is a very traditional Cantonese style soup, minced beef, peas and carrot in a starchy egg white soup base, you can ask with or without cilantro garnish , or on the side. We usually will add tiny bit vinegar and pepper Fried Chicken Wing House Special Chow Fun Walnut Shrimp ( should have order a veggie dish but we know that we won't be finish all and at can't it the left over since we are traveling)

Their portion of each plate is HUGE! Every dish we ordered we enjoy it so much!

Fast and friendly service, clean environment, delicious food !

One more happy and satisfied customer I am highly recommended for...

Our family frequent this restaurant. Their food is really good all the time! But today I dined by myself on 4th of July. I had the Seafood combo w/veggies. It was great as usual but as I was finishing up the food I looked on my plate and there was this brown looking little bug 🐛 I thought maybe it was some kind of spice but as I examined what was left of my food I didn’t see any more looking like that! So I took out my iphone camera and took a picture of it to magnify it. It did have little spiky prongs! Yuck 🤢 I called over the waiter and showed him it. He said it might be a burnt rice took my plates and didn’t return to my table with the bill. I walked over to pay expecting some compensation and much to my dismay he charged me full price for meal. I stated you’re charging me full price for a meal that surely had a bug in it?! He said “I don’t know that it was a bug”. Very bad customer service. I will also be reporting...

For $35 we got sweet and sour pork, cashew chicken, pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, 2 servings of wonton soup, plus 2 egg rolls and 2 fried prawns. HUGE portions. An unbelievable amount of food for the price, and it was all delicious. (With 2 sodas and tax it came to $46, still a steal). This was the "family dinner #3" for 2 people. If you want to order specific entrees instead, it is a lot more money, they seemed to average close to $15 each. Still would be worth it, but the family dinners are insanely affordable. You can see everything in the photo except the appetizers. Service was very good, with two strange exceptions. We had to ask for plates once the food started coming out, and I heard the table behind us do the same. Also, at the end we were brought the check, but then he never came back for my card as you would expect. Still, service was very good over all. Polite and attentive....
