Golden Restaurant

I took my family on a Saturday night for dinner. When we got there, it was jam packed (an indication that it has good food). We had to wait a bit to be seated (Duh, there are a lot of people), but it was worth it because the food was great. It was our first time, so we asked the neighboring table for some recommendations. We took their advice and ordered some special fried rice, lemon chicken, special chow mein, egg foo young (not sure if that's spelled correctly), and walnut shrimp (because it is our favorite). We didn't know this, but they brought everyone of us a small, complimentary bowl of egg flower soup and it was so delicious. Initially I thought they made a mistake and were going to charge us for the soup, but the neighboring table ensured us it was complimentary and agreed that it was one of the bright spots eating at The Golden. When the food came, it was more than I expected and more than me, my wife, and two young children can handle (we had to take it to-go). The food was more

I can't really say anything in this Chinese restaurant is special. It is designed for people who really don't know what good quality Chinese food tastes like. I came here at the good review I read. I came on a Sunday night with the family while we were on a vacation outing, passing through Fresno. We arrived at around 6:00 pm on Sunday 12/20/09. There were 5 of us and we were seated on a table for 4. Waitress took about 24 minutes before coming over to take our order. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken without peanuts because my son is allergic to it, Seafood Combination Hot Plate, Szechuan tofu, BBQ Pork, and white steam rice. The waitress that took our order appeared to be tired and didn't want to work. On the seafood plate, it was $15 on the menu and included Shrimp, Clam, Squid or Scallop. I didn't care for clams, so I asked the waitress to substitute the squids for the clams. Pros: Read-able Menu Cons: Poor Quality and Service, Salty Food, and Not priced well more

after being all over california i found a chinese restaurant that i can greatly enjoy. my fresno friends brought me to this restaurant after convincing me to go from years of great experiences. i was reluctant at first because i've been to chinese places that were less than acceptable but i changed my mind after spending a few seconds into the appetizer soup and fried wonton. our group ordered a family-sized selection of dishes (i forgot what it was called, sorry) and each portion was wonderful! the orange chicken and lemon chicken was a burst of citrus flavors that just melt in your mouth. the fried rice was exemplary and it wasn't dry, crunchy and didnt' scratch your throat like other chinese restaurants. the potstickers was prepared with precision that had contrasting textures (one side was crunchy and the other soft) that was a match out of this world. Noodles can be described in the same manner with a combination of crunchy and soft textures. the service was helpful, nice and always kept an eye out for any service that was needed and was pretty quick. the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing with a very calming contrast of colors. the bathroom was very clean to my surprise; like that of many gourmet restaurants! the prices were more than reasonable for the portions we received. overall great experience and highly recommended! i can go further to compliment the soda if it wasn't actually made by pepsi haha. Pros: excellent food, warm-welcoming environment Cons: N/A more

I absolutely love their Kung Pao Chicken! And their fried rice is amazing. They have very friendly servers there and fast service. Dine in or take out, either way it's great food! more

I absolutely love this restaurant and have been for years. The Chinese food here is great and the people there are very nice, especially if you can pull one aside when it's not during busy hours. I have been eating here since I was a child and I still enjoy it the same today. The dishes are plentiful, especially for the very affordable price, and is filled with a good balance of color and flavor. I have been recommending this place to my friends and they too enjoy the food with great delight. I used to live in the northern part of Fresno and it would take my about ten minutes to travel to the Golden Restaurant, but I still make the trip because it's one of a kind and incomparable to others in town. I don't live in Fresno anymore, but I always make time to take a trip to the Golden Restaurant whenever I travel back to see my parents. I highly recommend and I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Mmmmm mmmm delicious! Pros: excellent food, nice people, and friendly environment Cons: there's nothing significantly negative that can be said about this place more

I like golden restaurant because the way the prepare their Chinese food remind me of my mother's family cooking. I had the chance to talk to the owner lady, she told me that they made all their broth from scratch. Now, broth is a big deal in Chinese cooking...in case if you don't know. I recommend their won ton soup. Delicious won ton serve with fresh Chinese vegetables and BBQ pork. mmmmmmmmmm, that's what I am having right now... more
