We were welcomed…read morein right away, and after looking at the menu we asked if can order from the Dinner Combination section at noon, they said yes! There was four of us so we ordered four items from the Special Dinner: Sweet and Sour Pork, Beef with Broccoli, Chicken Chow Mein and Shrimp Chop Suey. The Special also comes with Wonton Soup, Egg Rolls, Paper Wrapped Chicken and rice. The food was delicious and the staff were amazing. They answered all of our questions and anticipated our needs. Had a great lunch and we will definitely be back :)

Both really good! The beef for us was flavorful. Good portions and had left overs for lunch. Minus the shrimp walnut, that was eaten all! Dining area was clean. Will go back again.

This location has a great tasting Wonton Soup. Assembled to order, I don't think I have seen one…read morepacked with so much meat and vegetables. The wontons were small but the filling tasted good. The proteins in the soup consisted of chicken and shrimp. There was plenty of meat for sure. The veggies were broccoli, celery, carrots, baby corn, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. The light broth had a good flavor as well. When I got this home, I found the container was 32 ounces filled to the brim. I added an avocado and lime juice to brighten the flavors but it was fine as is. It was one of the best valued wonton soups at under $10, considering the generous amount of ingredients in the soup. Highly recommended. I also ordered a Three Entree Combo meal. I had Orange Chicken, Mushroom Chicken, and BBQ Pork with sides of steamed rice and chow mein. The batter on the Orange Chicken was thick but it had a crispy crunch. Mushroom Chicken had mostly meat with just a few pieces of mushrooms and zucchini. BBQ Pork was seasoned well and tender with a few pieces of thick pork fat. These provided a textural contrast but are easily removed if desired. Not too sweet as well which is a plus. The ordered Veggie Egg Rolls were good with a ginger flavored filling. Overall, this combo was a satisfying meal with plenty of leftovers for later. Overall, a good experience with the food here. This Golden Chopstix location is on my list for a return visit, especially for the delicious Wonton Soup.

I had no idea it was even here, It used to be a sushi spot, so we figured we'd give it a try :) I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised We've been to a lot of dumpling places so I'd say we can tell good, mediocre and bad and we thought everything tasted pretty great. Everything came out fresh, hot, and really good. Spicy wontons were delicious. Our server was super sweet. She was taking care of us, another big party, and a few smaller tables but still made sure our drinks stayed full, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service. We ordered: Pot Stickers (totally forgot to take a picture) Fried Pot Stickers Soup Dumplings Spicy Wontons Cucumber Salad Glad we gave this place a try :) If you're craving dumplings, it's worth checking out. We'll definitely be back.

I don't know how people are giving this place Five star reviews. We had the shrimp rice noodle,…read moreShrimp Stir fry, Barbecue pork and broccoli, And cream cheese wontons. The barbecue pork was okay. Shrimp rice noodle had no flavor or texture, It was like eating mushy noodles. And I don't know how you mess up stir fry, but it tasted like canned water chestnuts.

Everything needs improvement. We asked for water and thy gave us the pitcher to serve ourselves. We…read moreasked for spoons and they said pass it around. Brought the water and it was pass it down. What's the point on dine in? The service sucks!!! Can't even tip for good service. Asked for siracha they said it's not on your table? Umm no and they said oh we don't when siracha only chili paste. Why question if we had it on the table ? I would not come back. Why pay $200 plus for bad service. I guess we should drive down the hill for better service.

I hate to write this, but my first time there will be the last. I ordered the Orange Chicken Rice…read moreBowl and asked if I could have fried rice instead of steamed rice. No, I could place a second order to get the fried rice. Ok, whatever, I'll take the steamed rice. The Orange Chicken was like rubber. I tried to bite a piece in half and it wouldn't pull apart, so the whole piece went in my mouth and I had to use my fingers to pull it apart which was embarrassing on a first date! It didn't taste good either. I looked for a knife in the plastic silverware, but there was none. I then went for a bite of the rice and it was so stuck together that I really had to jam my fork into it. It had no flavor at all and I was not offered any kind of sauce for it. I got some salt, but it didn't help. It had obviously been in a cup and turned over on a plate (there was no bowl) so I don't see why they couldn't have substituted the fried rice. The carrots were rubbery too. The only thing half way good was the broccoli. I opted for water to drink because I couldn't see paying over $6 for flavored ice tea. I didn't want my date to feel bad for buying me such a horrible meal, so I managed to get a couple of bites down. He asked if I wanted a box. No, but I said yes, again not wanting him to feel bad. I tried the Orange Chicken again when I got home, using my paring knife, and it was still so bad that I threw the whole thing away. There were only 6-8 people in the place, but it was so noisy that I had to keep asking my date to repeat what he said because I couldn't hear him. I was looking forward to a new place to eat and the online menu looked so great... How sad.

I love this place! Have been twice in the last two weeks. The first visit I had shrimp fried rice…read moreand crunchy tofu. Both were great! I normally do not like fried or grilled tofu but this was different. Nice crunch on the outside and super creamy on the inside. They have a pink sauce in little packets and it is really good on the crunchy tofu. Not too sweet and just the right flavor. I also had a mango green tea with Boba. Of course it was delicious just the right amount of mango but it was sweet. The second time I visited I tried the shrimp chow mein and the crunchy tofu again and I tried peach black tea with Boba. The tea was delicious and sweet but really nice. I'm not sure how you could make that horrible. The shrimp chow mein was just OK to me. The noodles seemed gummy and I'm not used to that. We also had the sautéed gyoza. The first batch came out burnt, but they were very nice and very accommodating when we brought them back and they brought us another order that was perfect and delicious. By the way we ordered vegetarian Gyoza and it was surprisingly good. I have also had the Ramen at this restaurant and it is also excellent . Many choices and they're really good about cooking what you need. This is not a fancy place but the food is great and the girls at the order desk are really sweet!

Food was super bland and left with a traumatic experience. Never coming back here again.

I have tried on several occasions to eat here but the quality of the food and taste keeps getting worse. Today, I ordered a half-and-half, rice, and noodles combo on June 10, 2026, at 1:45 p.m. at the drive-thru. The menu description mentioned BBQ pork and chicken with mushrooms. However, I received chopped-up mystery meat instead. There were mushrooms and zucchini, but no chicken. The rice was greasy, and the noodles were bland. I'm so disappointed. I threw $11.30 in the trash. I was afraid this greasy food and red dye dried mystery meat would make me sick. Definitely lots of room for improvement at this restaurant. It's really not even worth one star, but i had to rate it.

Why? Because all the flavors tasted the same regardless of what the menu description was And it was very salty. The sauces seemed to be your basic teriyaki sauce, dressed up somewhat but not enough to impress Minus 1 star because- it was a pretty dim restaurant. dark feeling, if it was meant to appear romantic? Well, I think they missed the boat For adult beverages, you would want to do wine, by the glass or bottle, doesn't matter and, so you know, they have a pretty decent, moderately priced wine list. Second would be your basic high ball or beer. Don't do craft cocktails, you may end up disappointed. Location is pretty decent. Immediately off the 15 Freeway; In a mall hidden by Kaiser Hospital BUT!!! this is where the local go so it must be decent at the very least.
