Golden China Restaurant — Restaurant in St. Marys

The first red flag was being told to only sign my name on the receipt and to leave the tip and total sections blank because I placed the order online and I already factored in the tip. Note: when you place an order online, you cannot pay online. You only get the option to pay via cash or pay with card in store when you go to pick up the food.

The second red flag was the receipt total I got in my email after placing my order did not match what they charged when I came to pick up my food. Their answer was basically "yeah, our online prices can be different." Granted, it was only about $2 more, but that's still not ok to do.

The third red flag was the food quality. I'm pretty sure the dinner I received was just leftovers from the lunch buffet. The chicken was extremely dry, the lo mein had absolutely no flavor, and the wontons were very hard in some parts while chewy in others. Now don't get me wrong, I like eating at Chinese buffets every once in a while, but when my meal is double the cost of a buffet and it's the same exact food just aged an extra few hours, then we have a problem.

Needless to say, I won't be returning to this establishment. Unfortunately they were the only Chinese restaurant opened on Monday. But, just like how we can't get Chick-fil-A on Sundays, we probably shouldn't get...

I placed my order online and was told my order would be available for pickup at 6:01 p.m. When I arrived at 6:10 p.m. to dirty tables,dirty floors, and dairy products being left on the counter, and paid $60+ for my four meals I was told it would be a short wait. I waited approximately 45 minutes for my food with no less than five people receiving their order and leaving before I was plainly asked "Who are you?" and being handed my food unceremoniously to leave. The food was TERRIBLE. The sesame chicken was overcooked and every piece was a stringy, gristled, texture. I gave up after trying half of every piece of "chicken" in my styrofoam container. The lo mein was bland and undercooked. The sweet and sour chicken was close to burnt,dry,and cold.(How?!?). This was the worst experience I've had at a food establishment in St.Marys EVER. While I eat Chinese 2-3 times a month, I will be sure to drive literally...

Better than other places. The girl at the front, also seems to almost be the only employee, is a nice friendly face. The food itself is great, served hot and with a smile. I've visited here and other local restaurants but this is the spot for Chinese food. It's close to the movie theater so you can have a quick bite after a movie. I am most impressed by the customer service. Not only are they getting orders for delivery and pickup but they take care of everyone with the same manner. It is difficult to find a place with good customer service and good food. I did edit this review. I felt that I needed to try various menu items including appetizers. I'm am satisfied and would recommend Golden China to locals, visitors, and our military service members nearby. I will recommend sesame balls ... I think that what they are called. Try them you will not be...
