I have to say, Golden Chopsticks absolutely blew me away. From the moment we sat down, everything about our experience was fantastic. The food was just on another level. Every single dish we ordered was spot on. The sweet and sour chicken had the perfect crunch with just the right amount of tangy sweet sauce, the cream cheese wontons were golden, crispy, and bursting with flavor, the broccoli beef was tender and seasoned beautifully, and the orange chicken was one of the best I have had in years, crispy, flavorful, and not overly heavy. The fried rice was so good it could have been a meal all by itself, and even the tea was comforting and perfect.
My wife and my granddaughter both raved about it just as much as I did. We all agreed this was hands down one of the best meals we have shared in a long time, and it felt extra special because we were all enjoying it together. The portions were huge, more than enough to leave us full and still have a huge amount to bring home to enjoy the next day. It was just as delicious when we heated it up. The prices were shockingly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. It is rare these days to find a place that serves such high quality food while still being very economical, but Golden Chopsticks nailed it.
On top of the food, the people there were absolutely amazing. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make sure we had a great experience. I honestly have not had Chinese food this good in over 15 years, back when a close friend of ours owned a restaurant in Portland. This meal brought me right back to those days, and I could not be happier that we found this place.
This was, without a doubt, one of the best Chinese restaurant experiences I have ever had. Between the incredible flavors, the huge portions, the great prices, and the wonderful people, I cannot recommend Golden Chopsticks enough. We will definitely be back, and next time we will be bringing more family and friends to share in this amazing find

Went here with the family (5 of us) on a Sunday night. I think we got there close to 6pm and had the pick of the house as far as seating. I’ve never been here before, it’s not much to look at, but I noticed it was spacious and clean. I was surprised to see so many large tables – seating from 6-12.
We ordered:
Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings
House Special Beef
Orange Chicken
Beef Broccoli
The food came out super quick!
Man, the portions are generous! I thought we’d ordered WAY too much, but between my hubby and 2 sons in their 20’s, we did pretty good and had some to spare.
My favorite: the chicken wings. I think I measure many of the Asian restaurants by their chicken wings these days (haha). First of all, they piled ’em so high, then when I crunched into one … YUM! They’re sooo crunchy and juicy. I could have just eaten these!
The other plates were wonderful as well. I’ll definitely go back.
When I got up to leave and looked around I was shocked – the place was completely filled with large 6+ groups. My back was to the room, so I hadn’t noticed it fill up. Haha. As we walked out I chuckled to myself – I think every table had that gigantic pile of chicken wings as well! Guess we made the right choice.
Yep, I’ll be back ….

I tried the famous wings, and the crisp was genuinely impressive. Unfortunately, the chicken itself didn’t match the hype. The inside was surprisingly plain and lacked seasoning, which felt unusual since many Asian restaurants excel at well-marinated dishes.
I also noticed that the prices listed on the menu didn’t match what I was charged. The total on the receipt was almost 20% higher.

Honey walnut shrimp was deep fry with some kind of thick breading!?
Pork Egg Foo Yong, has no pork to be found in the mixed, full of fried flour, Orange Chicken – sliver of chicken, I can guess deep in flour twice to make it bigger. I’ve been eating here, taking take out orders for years. But today horrible, I spent about $130 something and I just couldn’t eat it. The real cook has probably not shown up today.
They might say, why haven’t you brought it back ? I ordered today to address my craving for Chinese food, and has no time to cook so I ordered, drove and pick it up. Im heading to work now and has no time to bring it back.
One photo attached of The Shrimp Walnut, sauce was on the side. The breading on the shrimp? Not what I remember

Had to see if the Mira Mesa location was as good as the National City location. Came here specifically for the salt and pepper chicken wings and they did not disappoint! Ordered some pork fried rice and house special chow mein to round out the meal and fed three hungry people with enough leftovers for one more meal. You definitely get your money’s worth here.

Salt and pepper wings lack flavor. Good for those without a palate.
I’ve visited nearly every single highly regarded Chinese restaurant serving S&P wings. It’s just something you do when you are a San Diego native and Chinese.
Texture wise these are solid, good crunch etc. The problem is you aren’t licking the outside of the wing, you are taking an actual bite. That’s where it all falls apart. Most of the better wing places will brine or use some sort of rub to get the flavor into the flesh of the wings before they actually get to frying them. Evidenly Golden Chopsticks does not do this. Also this applies to the one in National City (OG).
They look great and present well because they have green onions, chili flakes and garlic but those flavors are only on the surface at best. They hold more moisture and just end up soggy on top. You know what they should have added? Fresh chilis like serrano or jalapeno slices, many of the better places will add those.
No place is perfect but I noticed this place got a lot of random hype. There’s even some Instagram guy shilling for this restaurant over exaggerating every moment.
Royal Mandarin has this place beat and I’m not saying it’s always worth the drive but when it comes to party platters where you are paying premium, take the time to pick better.
Service wise, you came to a Chinese restaurant. If you ain’t at some gentrified restaurant don’t expect much. I say this as somebody who goes to and in the past worked in restaurants.
Honestly these shills got me thinking I should go around and debunk them.

Decide to take my coworkers to this newer Chinese restaurant around the area. I haven’t been but saw their salt and pepper chicken wings on ads…so I was sold. Most dishes are good but not amazing to SD standard. But those wings were so crispy and seasoned properly. I might come back just for those wings haha

Did a take out order right before they closed. Food was amazing with huge portions!! Definitely on the pricier side, but typical for SD standards ($73 for everything). Had the Mongolian beef which was yummy but not that spicy. The lo mein was to die for, my favorite. The wings were meaty and crispy, even for take out which was a plus. The fried rice was fantastic, even with no protein. They close promptly at 9:50 so be aware!
Docked a star because I called and they said they didn’t do take out orders, walk in only (odd). And then my male friend called immediately afterwards and they took his to go order. Rude!

The first time I went here it wasn’t very good, and they weren’t very good at explaining their “specials” and when they were applicable. Anyway, yesterday I went to sushi next door with my boyfriend. We spend a lot of money there for barely any food. It was disappointing. I decided to go to golden chopsticks and take out something actually filling. And let me tell you the only thing you EVER need to order here is the salt and pepper chicken with a side of rice. Hits Every. Single. Time. Delicious! Also not a fan of their fried rice so I’d stick with the plain rice if I were you. Also the egg drop soup is pretty good too. Thank you!!
