This review is only regarding the posted hours versus what I experienced upon arrival…read more I had a long day at work and was really looking forward to treating myself to what's rated as the best Chinese food in the area. I even drove a bit out of my way to come here, only to find a "closed" sign on the door. I truly hope everything is okay with the owners and staff, but it was disappointing that there wasn't any notice or backup plan for unexpected closures. From what I could see through the window, the restaurant looked very clean and well-kept. I'll definitely want to try again another time but will certainly call first!!!!

It is not Frankensteins intention to be negative here today. But wholly Yelp hype Batman! Yes,…read moreFrankenstein can buy into a good hype every so often which the Bride of Frankenstein enjoys pointing out. Especially when Frankenstein is wrong. Frankenstein enjoys braised beef noodle soup. A lot. Frankenstein's heart was yanked out of his huge body and crushed when Mandarin Deli went out of business during Covid. A pain he still feels even today. They had the best Braised Beef Noodle Soup ever! Frankenstein went hook, line, and sinker when he read the Yelp hype about this place. Bottom line, nice people, not as awesome as was described. Braised Beef Noodle Soup- Sorry Noodles Kitchen but it's too chili hot. About a 8.5 to 9 on Frankensteins too hot scale. Beef was okay, not great. Noodles were good. Bride of Frankenstein had one taste and pushed it away. "Mucho Caliente" Orange Chicken, fine. Let's not go overboard everyone. Pan Fried Dumplings, good. Check it out for yourself. 10/11/2025 Update- It saddens Frankenstein to see so many fake reviews over and over again. Really Noodles Kitchen? Please.

I have ordered from this restaurant many times over the years. However, I am currently awaiting the…read moredelivery of an order that was placed 1.5 hours ago. The delivery driver (John) waited for over an hour for the order to be ready. John kept me informed during the entire ordeal as he requested an update many times and continued to be told 'we are working on it'. Soup, noodles and rice. It wasn't a complicated order. But to keep the driver, and my family waiting is very unprofessional and discourteous of the restaurant. If you are slammed and experiencing an hour delay on food, you should tell your customers the truth. They will respect you more and understand (and appreciate) the situation. Unfortunately, I now feel as though I need to find a new 'go to' Chinese take away for future orders. By the time the driver delivers the food it will have been two hours since placing the order on Uber Eats. Can't risk this happening again.

So every time I come to Sam Woo it would remind me of my childhood. Since it's a bit out of the way, I would have to plan a trip to Sam Woo. So when I'm here I would stock up on the roast duck and other meats, such as the soy sauce chicken or roast pork. There is a section to purchase roasted meats and precooked food directly and a restaurant section for dining in which can get quite noisy when filled. Everything is delicious and authentic flavors. I only wish it was closer so I can come by more often.

Manage your expectations…read more.. Coming here, I already knew what to expect. I came in, was greeted, started looking at the buffet setup to see if anything looks enticing. If not, I would just leave, but some stuff looked okay, and I was ready to eat some okay "Chinese" food. The food container was heavily packed, it easily felt like more than three pounds worth of food, which comes out to less than $5 a pound, which makes it really your bang for your buck! It was not heavily greasy too, which makes is on the high side of good "Chinese" food. I know that if I have this type of craving, I would be willing to drive out of my way to come back here again. Worth the try.

Especially the chicken wings in soy sauce with chili flakes & the soy sauced pork ribs! I'm a picky eater and it's not easy to impress me.. But, this place is IMPRESSIVE!! Their beef and broccoli, orange chicken (especially when it just freshly came out from the kitchen) was SOOOO GOOOOD!! They don't cook in big batch of food, but in small batches! Which is great.. the food stays fresh and not sitting for long then probably get wasted if by closing time they weren't sold out. So.. sometimes, you might need to wait for the fresh portion to be cooked. The Lao Ban (boss) and the server/cashier; Ms. Wing (I think that's her name) were always so welcoming and friendly . They offered to cook me a fresh batch of the items I wanted. But... I like my food well done and overcooked so... I know,.. I'm a bit different LOL But I like their food!! I've been there many times in these few weeks only. Highly recommended to others

Be careful and double-check the prices you're being charged here…read more The menu board clearly lists the Special Bowl for $7.99, but I was originally charged about $3 more than the advertised price. When I pointed out the price discrepancy to the cashier, she lowered the price by $1, but she still did not charge me the advertised $7.99 price. My receipt ended up showing $9.07. What bothered me most is that even after I specifically pointed out that the price did not match what was posted on their menu board, I was still charged more. Just be aware when paying and make sure you double-check your receipt against the prices displayed on their menu. Tengan cuidado y revisen bien los precios que les están cobrando en este lugar. En el menú aparece claramente que el Special Bowl cuesta $7.99, pero originalmente me cobraron aproximadamente $3 más del precio anunciado. Cuando le señalé a la cajera que el precio no coincidía, bajó el precio $1, pero aun así no me cobró los $7.99 que aparecían en el menú. Al final, mi recibo mostraba un precio de $9.07. Lo que más me molestó fue que, incluso después de señalarle específicamente que el precio no coincidía con el que estaba anunciado en el menú, todavía me cobraron de más. Tengan esto en cuenta al momento de pagar y asegúrense de revisar su recibo y comparar lo que les cobran con los precios que aparecen en el menú

Cheap chinese food…read more You basically come when you are hungry. For the price , the food quality is decent. I definitely love watching them pack food in the box, where the lid bulges upwards when closing. It is a good deal when you just want quantity for cheap value.

We had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious and tasted just like the Thai food…read morefrom our visits to Thailand. Our favorites were the fried fish with sauce, the chicken kapow, and the Hainan chicken--the sauce that came with the Hainan chicken was especially incredible and packed with flavor. The customer service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was so attentive, friendly, and made sure our entire group was well taken care of throughout the meal. They checked on us often, made us feel welcome, and provided excellent service from start to finish. If you're looking for authentic Thai food with outstanding customer service, I highly recommend this restaurant. We'll definitely be coming back!

This restaurant used to be a great place to bring family and friends, but unfortunately my recent…read moreexperiences have been very disappointing. It seems that as the restaurant has become busier, the quality of the food and service has declined. On my most recent visit, there was an issue with my order. I contacted the restaurant, and they apologized and originally told me they would replace the order. However, when I followed up to receive the replacement, they could not locate my phone number or the notes regarding the issue and were unable to honor what was previously promised. It is frustrating when a restaurant acknowledges a mistake but then cannot follow through because the record of the resolution is somehow missing. Sadly, the food quality has not been the same, and the customer service has also declined. This used to be a restaurant I would confidently recommend, but based on my most recent experience, I can no longer do so. I hope the owners take this feedback seriously and focus on bringing back the quality, service, and customer care that made this place special in the past.

So we decided to give them a try. WORST. CHINESE FOOD. EVER!!! There are cheap Chinese fast food takeout that are way more delicious than they are. Their food is about as below average as those cheap bad Chinese fast food takeout. The noodles and steamed rice smelled like old burlap sack! The food we ordered either had no taste, not tasty at all, or it smelled. My mom and I swore we'd never go back. A couple of weeks ago, I was craving fried noodles. I don't know why I decided to give them a try again. What a waste of money!!! One thing improved, I guess... At least the noodles didn't smell like old burlap sack. As for taste... zero, nothing, bland AF and to top it all off, the noodles were over cooked so it's mushy!!! Seriously a Chinese restaurant who can't cook noodles??? WTH??? Anyway... It was disgusting! I ate a few bites, threw away the rest. What a waste of money!!! I don't know who keeps giving them praises for their food. May be those people just don't know any better and they've never had any good Chinese food. Golden City is definitely a "HELL NO! Never again!!!" for me. Perhaps it's because I'm Chinese that I hold a higher standard, but seriously... this place was disgustingly inedible!
