Golden Star Restaurant — Restaurant in Salinas

My wife Debbie was feeling under the weather, she had to take the day off. She asked me to drive across town to get her some "egg flower soup" So when i arrived to Golden Star Restaurant to place my order i was greeted with a very warm greeting & when it came to paying i was a little in embarrassed because i was a few cents short, she had said don't worry about it, i was thankful. When i arrived back home my wife still feeling under the weather had said to me "the soup was superb." To see my wife being lifted up from feeling under the weather was pleasing to me. Thanks for making our day. May God continue blessing Golden Star Restaurant & the workers. I'm appreciative for the great service & can't forget making my wife day with your delicious egg flower soup. My wife ordering me a #2 on the menu do it and it was very delicious sweet and sour pork chow mein with shrimp fried rice egg foo young and egg soup thank you Tony for preparing my dinner plate friday July 15...

The Park Row place you call-in, they say 10 min, and you walk in and food is sitting there ready...EVERY time. And it...

This used to be our favorite Chinese food. We had heard that it was under new management but tried it last night anyway. Called in a takeout order of our usual favorites, was told it would be 15 minutes. Arrived 30 minutes later and still waited 15 minutes for our food. The young man at the counter was very pleasant and professional. Everything was hot and smelled good. We ate the sesame balls in the car, delicious. We got home to our entrees and everything went downhill. Vegetable chow mein was flavorless and greasy. Hunan chicken was so flavorless it didnt even taste like chicken. Orange beef had a decent flavor but was overcooked and mostly crunchy breading. My jalapeño rice was actually pretty good but not spicy at all despite there being ample jalapeños. Service was decent but food was terrible. Very disappointed in the...
