Golden Star — Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre

Some of the best Chinese food around, great price on lunch specials which is usually what I order. I order online through ChineseMenu (yep that's really the website), it's always ready within the 10 to 15 minutes it takes me to arrive, and the food is still perfectly steaming hot when I get back, whatever ancient Chinese proverb they use works. Just the right amount of salty and greasy for me personally, a sinful meal surely but it's far from bland and not "sick after 3 bites" overpowering either. Egg drop soup, pork fried rice, and a beef dish would be my recommendations. Bro at the register is really nice but always busy working so I don't make small talk. A lot of reviews mention delivery issues or the American style food there, I can't speak on either as I haven't tried. But the Chinese...

My dog didn't even want it. I feel like I should have just set my money on fire and watched it burn. It would have been more satisfying. I DO NOT RECOMMEND...

For years we have loved Golden Star— we ordered a few times a month at least. Recently, they’ve fallen off and it’s more than disappointing. The first time they ever promised a refund after we received food that was so cold, it was as if it came straight out of the refrigerator, they never followed through so we never received it. This last time, they sent the wrong order and they were actually willing to send a new plate, then requested that they wanted to swap the food out— so beware, your order might have been provided by the last person who sent it back. The quality of this place has really tanked. I’ll miss the restaurant this...
