I never write reviews, but I’m just so bothered by my experience. I ordered over the phone, orange chicken, veggie fried rice and an egg roll. I had a paper menu at home that I ordered off of. I went to pick it up, he tells me the price $45. I said “excuse me?” I ordered orange chicken fried rice and an egg roll. We had a miscommunication about the egg roll order. I thought I was ordering one single egg roll. I said ok we had a miscommunication. He continued to rant at me. So I said assertively, “ sir, I said we had a miscommunication “ so he stopped talking. He then offered to take the egg roll out. I said yes please. So now, my bill was $35. Which is still insane for rice and chicken. I said the menu I have must be wrong then. Bc that doesn’t calculate to what’s on the paper menu. Either way, whatever. I took the food home. Now I’m infuriated. The fried rice was flavorless and basically soggy white rice with veggies and scrambled egg. I tried to dr them up, add soy sauce and fry them in a pan. Now, I try the orange chicken. The smell of burnt sauce oozed out of the container. I took a bite, the chicken was chewy yet had a sandy crunch when bit into with an intense burnt flavor. Maybe work on the quality of food before upping every item 5 more bucks. And no one needs a sob story about gas prices when a customer brings up how insane the prices are. I’ll literally never order from here again. Please work on your quality before over charging. Now I’ve wasted 35 bucks, and food is wasted and going in the trash. Super disappointed.

We love Chinese very much because they use fresh ingredients to make the dishes unique with flavors and spices making Chinese cuisine popular with everybody who enjoy it. I took my wife for lunch to the Golden China restaurant in South Pasadena this restaurant have been in the same location for many years. They have lunch special that everybody comes for their lunch deal. We have been here before but it's been a long time I haven't been there. We step in we were surprise it pack but the host found a table. Then the host hand us the menu then we look at their lunch deal. My wife order the cashew chicken and I order the chicken chop suey it comes with rice with salad and a egg roll and soup. We try the soup it was really good and rice with salad and egg roll. The salad was good but more vegetables or color to the salad and also need more dressing. The waiter brought our meal my chicken chop suey look good I took a bite it was good but I notice every Chinese restaurants have their own version of Chop suey. My wife enjoy her cashew chicken great flavors she say. The staff are very friendly.

Friendly restaurant celebrating its 40th anniversary! We had a lunch gathering there and everyone picked a dish from the lunch special- it was served with Eggdrop or Hot& Sour soup, 1 spring roll, a small portion of crisp lettuce (can use a dressing..), and 1 scoop of white / fried rice. The main course served on a separate plate and the portion was quite generous! I got my all-time favorite—garlic sauce chicken. We also shared twice-cooked pork, eggplant, classic kaopao chicken, fish fillet in black bean sauce, and scallops with veggies. Everyone enjoyed the food and was surprised by the variety of fresh veggies! I love their creative marketing approach in the Membership drive. Once you join the free membership, you will receive a delicious 8-inch boba milk cake on your birthday! I do plan to visit again and try their dinner options!

This once glorious staple of my friends and family has fallen so far beyond the bar of what I expect when paying the prices to eat there !!!

The food is eh for the price like really the portions are so far out of what we are paying i can pay less and get more and an all you can eat restaurant!! Or a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant!!! But the kicker was not our over priced dog food!!

It was the server and her attitude and hovering!!! All she did was bring out drinks and food and never saw her again accept when it was time to tip ... her service was that of homeless peasant her attitude was like a teenager getting her first monthly cycle and she was just all over a horrible server and person !!! I use to work at this location when the old owners were there and this is sad to say but when I was paying I opted out of tipping because there was no reason to and I was leaving and I get and excuse me from the waiter she asked me "why you no tip " I said that her service was not worthy of one she called the manager and they both stated having a yelling match with Me infrot of customers!!

I'm not obligated to tipp it's a choice and they said it's a service fee that's a joke !!!

I've been band from a restaurant me my friends and family have been going to since i was a child 33 now sorry to say selling to new owners was the worst thing you could have done because the servers and...
