TLDR – Good prices, poor/No service or drink refills, food not bad but not as advertised (all sweet, no spice).
Small but nice, quiet place though some light music would have been nice instead of the Chinese language cooking show on TV.
The hostess/server handed us menues then walked away to stand behind the register where she spent most of her time while we were there only interacting with patrons if they came to her or it was time to collect payment.
There were 3 other parties there, all already eating but we didn’t see her interact with anyone or us unless they went to the register to request takeout boxes. We had to do the same.
We ordered beef with garlic sauce & Mongolian beef, both of which were supposed to be spicy but were both very sweet as were the “crab” rangoond. I asked the server about it and she claimed they were supposed to be sweet even after I pointed out they are marked on the menus as spicy dishes. The food wasn’t bad but not what we ordered or expected.
I had to refill my husband’s drink from my own because there was no service from the server or hostess though she was very quick to bring our check when we were done. Then she asked my husband if he needed a refill and I told her I’d already refilled him from my own drink since she provided no service whatsoever.
Honestly, the food was okay, reasonably priced, nice location, etc but I still don’t know if we will return.
My husband is far kinder than me and gave the woman a 16% tip for doing nothing whatsoever. She would have been lucky to get 5% from me.
If the server/hostess can’t or won’t provide drink refills at least put out a damn tea urn and let us refill it ourselves but do not expect a tip!

Food was very hot, fresh and flavorful! Wasn’t oily or overly sweet/salty like some other places but rather well balanced- plus they have 3+ sauces at the table if you’d like to customize it. Attentive and polite service, didn’t have to ask for water or to go boxes. The restaurant was clean and tidy. They also have paper menus to take home in the front. Will be coming back in the future!

We love this restaurant and were so glad when it reopened just down the way from it’s previous location. We order TAKE-OUT regularly and love the food. The portion sizes are huge so I get 2 huge meals out of each entre. One for dinner and one for lunch the next day – or we share an entre. The food is excellent quality. Tender lean meat and the shrimp in my shrimp with garlic sauce are huge. We never eat in the restaurant, so I can’t comment on the service, but when we order for pick up, it’s always ready on time and packed really well with lots of sauces. Highly recommend.

They try to scam me by charging me dinner price at lunch hour, almost double the price!
Ordered 2 pepper steak lunches to go.
Literally under 10 pcs of meat and packed with cheap rice. Do not eat here, the food taste like cheap buffet food!

The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. Every dish came out fresh, hot, and beautifully prepared. The service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for both family dinners and casual nights out. Portion sizes were generous, and everything was reasonably priced for the quality. This is by far one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I was thrilled when Golden Chopsticks reopened recently, and I’m happy to say it’s even better than before. The dining space is small but inviting with attentive service. I especially appreciated that whether I’m there to eat in or to take away, the food remains consistently excellent. Favorites like General Tso’s chicken and kung pao chicken taste as authentic and delicious as ever. The menu even has a wonderful lunch special that is trying! A solid 5-star experience—highly recommend for both sit-down meals and convenient takeout. Looking forward to returning soon!

I went to try this place after they reopened their new location closer to Herrera’s and was very disappointed the first two times I ordered from them. The first time I ordered the veggie plate and was kind of surprised at the the lack of variety of veggies (there was maybe 3, I think), I expected more of a stir fry type dish but instead, the vegetables were sitting in a thick light colored liquid. I was a little too thrown off by it so, I just ate the white rice. The second time I tried them, I ordered the sweet and sour chicken but could only eat 2 pieces as the chicken tasted like FISH. I figured that maybe they used the same oil to fry both? I gave them a third try because their lunch plates are VERY cheap (they include a bowl of soup and an egg roll) and was glad I did because their beef and broccoli was MUCH better than the chicken and veggies. My plate came with two scoops of rice (I went with the fried rice) and a very tasty egg roll! I chose not to have the soup as I didn’t like it the first time I got it (dumpling) and didn’t want to waste it. The young man who works the counter is very friendly and helpful, while the female is cold and rude, so the 4 stars in service are really for the young man. My opinion is that their lunch plate prices (about 10 bucks) are fair for the quality and taste of the food they serve but I definitely would not pay dinner prices.

First time here. I had the seafood casserole with steamed rice – yum! Cleaned my plate and it was a generous portion. Excellent service and a variety of selections.
