We walked in with six people on a Friday night and were treated to a great meal. Terrific service, good wine & dessert!!

Excellent service. Fresh crunchy noodles friendly staff Food- generally good. Atmosphere pleasant. Prices very reasonable. Better than other Chinese in. Delmar. read more

Two of the highest rated asian restaurants I've found on Yelp have been the most disappointing I've tried. The hot and sour soup was possibly the worst I have ever had. Everything was bland and sub par. The moo shoo pork was disappointing. The beef with broccoli was unremarkable (hard to not get me excited about eating beef with broccoli). Everything was edible, warm, and there was nothing horrible about our experience. It is just so mediocre and so highly rated I feel the need to rate it one star. read more

I had heard a lot of good things about Gold Coin and decided to place an order for pickup. While placing my order I noticed the prices were higher than I am used to paying for Chinese, but figured it might be worth a little more. We ordered, 3 egg rolls, a shrimp lo mein, General Tso's chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan and mixed vegetables. We were so disappointed! The shrimp lo mein had no sauce, the noodles were a dry clump of yuck! I will say the shrimp was good, but the dry clump of noodles really was a disappointment. The General Tso's chicken was not spicy...AT ALL, not even a hint of heat. The Moo Goo gai Pan had 3 small pieces of chicken. The egg roll was more like eating a thick chewy wonton wrap. Overall, the meal was bland and very disappointing and definitely not worth the money. read more

My favorite resturant in this area. It is an amazing sit-down Chinese place. The inside looks awesome, the decor is cultural and the service is really friendly and accommodating. The prices are fair and the food is phenomenal. I highly recommend this place! read more

Some of the best Chinese, if not the only good Chinese in the area. It's much better if you eat in-house, but delivery/take out is good as well. It's fresh, and spiced perfectly. Has made me hate most other Chinese spots. The employees are extremely kind and understanding. They also are easy to understand. They will adjust anything to your taste. Also- their delivery area is insane. They come all the way out to Clarksville, which is rare. I have since moved to East Greenbush and still make it a point to make the trip. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in the area. Food is fresh and never greasy. Very accommodating with special request.

This place is right down the street from me so I tried it once. It is the worst chinese I have ever had anywhere anytime.

Ordered for pick up. The man on the phone was very friendly and the food was right on time. The inside of the restaurant was very nice and I can see myself coming back for a sit down dinner. read more

This may be the worst chinese food I have ever had. The service was quick and the place is nice but when I got home I realized that they gave me the wrong order on one of my meals. The meat was disgusting (on more than one of our meals)...we threw most everything out. A total waste of money. read more

Ordered delivery. Pleasant experience ordering, and the food was delivered promptly. Unfortunately that's the all of the nice things I can say about Gold Coin. The food looked like Chinese food, but it had no flavor. To call this food bland is an understatement. read more

This is a great family restaurant with a very friendly proprietor. I can always trust my food is gluten free. This is my favorite restaurant for takeout. read more

The literal translation of chow mein (chao mian) is fried noodles. We were told if we wanted noodles we should have ordered lo mein. Odd.

Have been a customer since they opened about 5 years ago. Clean and great service. Nothing fancy but they have some unique entrees and they will accommodate special requests. Sometimes we eat there -- sometimes takeout. It's all good. Best Pina Coladas! read more

I ordered chicken lo mein take out, and I have to say it was the worst lo mein I've ever had. First, it was very dry - I mean, no moisture at all, no sauce to speak of. Second, it was almost tasteless, like noodles in soy sauce. Very disappointed. Maybe eating at the restaurant vs. take out is different, but I won't be going back. Also, I ordered a spring roll which I've ordered in other restaurants and for some reason, this one had shrimp in it which I don't eat. I understand that that's not their fault but I wasn't able to eat it. In the end I threw all of it in the garbage, total waste of money. read more

Solid Chinese food and great for take-out and delivery. Good American-ized Chinese food Pay no attention to the hot pepper review and Chinese noodle translation review etc.--this place is solid. Dumplings are great, General Tso's chicken fabulous. If you want more raw Asian food, go to Taiwan Noodle. This is for your everyday, on-the-way-home-from-work meal. read more

Good enough, best Chinese in Delmar though the bar is low. We enjoy take out occasionally. The odd thing about this place is the wonton soup. The broth is bland and the wontons either have almost no (or in some cases literally none at all) meat. All noodle. read more

This place is great if you only like fried rice. Everyone in my office really liked it, including me. However, if you want anything else to have flavor, order from someplace else. Their chicken with garlic sauce is supposed to be spicy but tasted watered down and flavorless. And don't even bother ordering an egg roll because they are soggy. And I've tried them multiple times. I'll order again if I want only fried rice. read more

Theres not many places that serve sit-down chinese in this area, so I am automatically impressed. Food is good, service is good, everything is clean. Prices could be a bit better (a little expensive for chinese) but thats the only downfall. read more

This was to the apartment within 15 minutes... not thinking anything about it because i was hungry ... tried to eat this food ... honestly save your money ... nothing about this food is chinese ... only thing i liked was the egg in the rice... food must have been sitting there to come that fast... crab rangoons we small and the sweet and sour sauce was disgusting ...the sweet and sour chicken had no chicken really mostly air ...general sals wasn't even close to good ... don't waste your money ... we ate barely anything threw out $31 of my money ... i will be definitely letting everybody know that this food is bad and don't waste your money ... for the record i was a cook for awhile and don't usually blast people or places like this but i downloaded yelp just to say this ... that's how bad it was ... read more

I have Celiacs and this is the only safe place I can actually eat Chinese food at. They prepare everything to order which makes it easy for them to ensure the safety of my food and they are willing to make anything on the menu gluten free. So grateful for this restaurant and their accommodating staff. They're always friendly; we have never had bad service. My husband (who does not have to eat gluten free) also loves it here. Definitely worthy of 5 stars in my book! read more

I honestly don't know how this place stays in business. Every time I ordered food from them it tastes different, even though I always order the same thing. Last time I ordered, and I will never order again, they gave me hot and sour soup that only had the sour component - it's like they forgot half of the ingredients. The only reason I didn't give it one star is because the bar is a fun place to hang out-great vibe and the bartender will let you watch whatever you want on television. read more

Higher quality ingredients and food than local takeout. Nice decor, only complaint is limited parking

We order from Gold Coin about twice a month, or more when we're really busy. It is fast, friendly, and delicious. They have no problem with "special orders" like adding some extra spice or whipping up a special that might not be current. Overall the best Chinese food in the area, by a long long long shot. read more

The best Sesame and general Tsos chicken I've ever had. Tried hundreds and this is still #1

My family and I enjoy this restaurant. The bathrooms are clean and dining area is comfortable.It has the typical Chinese entrees that are all very good, however the soups I would pass on. They are either bland or so doused with hot pepper that they are not enjoyable. If you want a nice dining experience, definitely go here...just don't order the soup. read more

We have been patrons of the Gold Coin for about 15 years, both to eat in or take out, and have always been more than satisfied with the quality of food and always excellent service. But, last night we placed an order for take out and had nothing but regrets. The sub gum wonton soup was bland and tasteless, the broccoli and garlic vegetables virtually inedible (and had to thrown out) due to the almost bitter taste of the broccoli itself, and then found out that they had failed to include a small order of pork fried rice, although charged for it. The crab Rangoon is no longer the same as they once were, at one time being large, light and delicious. Now they are small and run of the mill, like those found in so many typical Chinese take-outs. One small comment on the plus side, the sweet & sour pork was at the very least, passable. Too bad, this was once a very good restaurant. Now it's over rated and over priced. Will never make this mistake again. read more

I have lived in Bethlehem my entire life I've always eaten at Gold Coin I've never had a problem and I've also never complained about food in my life. But after my experience NEVER AGAIN. I ordered sweet and sour chicken sweet and sour on the side and plain lo mein the same order I've been getting for 30 years without a problem. So I picked up my order and got it home and was disgusted. The lo mein was not seasoned at all it was just noodles that weren't even cooked all the way and then the chicken was saturated with grease to the point that the outside skin was soggy and the rice was very overcooked. I saved some for my husband who was working late and ended up throwing the rest of it away. I immediately called the restaurant and told them the situation and they said they would call me back and I never received a call back. So I called first thing this morning when they opened, again explained the situation and spoke with a very nice worker who took my information and told me the owner would call me back. So he called me back I explained the situation the owner told me that I couldn't receive a refund because i didn't bring the food back. I explained I threw the food away I only had the leftovers I hadn't gotten a chance to throw away because my husband didn't want it when he got home he was going to eat it but after I told him not too Because it was disgusting so the owner said that's fine bring it in even though it wasn't the full amount I ordered I threw most of it away and I'll refund you. So I drove down to the restaurant with a zip lock bag filled with the gross food and I spoke with the owner. He again asked me infront if customers who were sitting at the bar what was wrong with the food I explain to him what was wrong with it and how I didn't like how the chicken was very greasy and how the lo mein had absolutely no flavor he proceeded to open the Ziploc bag and eat the disgusting lo mein right in front of other customers I was absolutely disgusted and then he tried to not give me back my full amount of money back that he told me he would give me because when I brought him the Ziploc bag filled with the leftover food he says it wasn't the full amount that I paid for and I was absolutely livid at that point and said you told me to bring what I had I wasn't going to pick the rest of the disgusting food out of the garbage and bring it to you. Long story short I ended up getting my full refund back I paid 21.47 for the food and the owner actually only gave me back 21.14 so he tried to screw me on a couple cents but come on now talk about absolutely disgusting customer service, unprofessionalism, and rude. I will NEVER be ordering from there again and will make everyone very aware of my bad experience. If I could give negative stars I would absolutely do so. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more

Second time we tried to get take out from them. What a mistake that was. Overpriced compared to any other Chinese food I've had, and half of what we got was overcooked and quite nasty tasting. Wont be going back, don't let the nice building fool you! read more

I have been eating in Chinese restaurants for over 60 years and Gold Coin is by far the best. The food is always fresh and tasty, the restaurant is neat and very clean and the staff are courteous, polite and helpful. It's always a pleasure to eat there or get take out. George read more

Very good quality food. We had egg drop soup, steamed veggie dumplings, shrimp mei fun, and broccoli in garlic sauce. The first three dishes were excellent, fresh, tasty and loaded with fresh veggies and prepared perfectly. The shrimp tastes fresh and light, with none if the after taste of frozen shrimp. The bean sprouts in the mein fun were translucent and tender-crisp, and the sauce full flavored and not oily or greasy. I disliked the broccoli in garlic sauce though. The broccoli was pale, limp, over cooked, lack texture and tasted very strange. I did ask for it to not be spicy (for my kids) and that may be why it was too sweet and lacked garlic flavor. Maybe the broccoli was not very fresh or twice cooked. Other wise, great food and beautiful decor inside! read more

Really great spot! Have heard many good things and it stood up to the hype I've heard! The seafood hot and sour soup is soooo good would totally recommend it, it's not your traditional dark hot and sour it was a light color with LOTS of spice so yummy... hubby got Hawaii 5 o and he loved it I got the pan fried noodles also great lots of food next time we would get just the soup and share an entree there was that much! We'll be back soon! read more

We don't have to shlep out to Plum Blossom in Troy (we live in Delmar) for decent Chinese food anymore. Reasonable prices, good portions, and tasty food, especially the steamed dumplings, keep us coming back. I hated this place for years, but tried again recently. Pleasantly surprised! The staff, especially when we have my boyfriend's 7 yr old with us, is wonderful. read more

Building was nice.. but the food was horrendous. I didnt/couldnt even eat more then 3 bites. Wound up throwing the whole meal out. When I first saw the prices on the menu, I thought it was too expensive and i'll just go someplace else. Then I thought, well this place is right by my house, it looks fancy.. the food will probably be pretty good, let me try it.. Oh boy did I wish I didnt.. The chicken tasted like it was overcooked a week ago and then microwaved when I ordered it.. dry as a bone.. It was not chinese like your used to at all (more like popcorn chicken scraps). The fried rice was white & tasteless. Hopefully the restaurant reads this because the cooking needs an overhaul.. the place has potential to be a nice regular spot but the food could use a lot of improvement. Staff was nice though :) read more

We were VERY happy with our meal. Service was attentive and full of personality. We had dim sum, and orange flavored beef which were both amazing. Portuons are huge - enough for another lunch for two at home. It is a nice little gem outside of the over crowded and often overrated Albany scene. read more

This is a good quality Chinese restaurant. Not the best I have ever had, but definitely above average. It is very clean and the staff are very nice and helpful. They do mostly take out, but the dine in area is very nice. Would go back! read more

Gold Coin is the only place I order Chinese from. Growing up my parents always ordered from Gold Coin and because it was my first impression of Chinese food I havent ever found another place thats even close or that I would even consider ordering from. Staff is friendly and amazing at getting your food quick whether its for pickup or delivery. Bottom line is if your getting Chinese in the Albany area and its not from Gold Coin, you are doing it wrong read more

I visited this place about a week ago, largely based upon tales from it's Delmar fan-base. This restaurant has been in Delmar for quite some time, apparently, and I was eager to discover what keeps the customers coming back. Sadly, I didn't find any answers. So far as my assessment of this restaurant goes, I'd venture that the word "meh" kind of says it all. The food is bland, at best. Not bad; just bland. That's really all that I can say about it. It should be noted, however, that the customer service is top-notch. The restaurant messed up my order, did not hesitate to make a second trip out to correct their mistake, and did so without complaint. This is the reason that I awarded this establishment with three stars, as opposed to two stars - if there's anything that this place has right, it's their stellar customer service. . . Now, if only they could wield that service in a manner that would improve the taste of their cuisine . . . Given this place's longevity, I'd like to think that it is either generally better or used to be better. Perhaps it will take one more trip in order to ascertain the answer to my original question, after all. read more

my daughter loves this restaurant. i don't eat much Chinese food--the msg and other ingredients really bother me, but my daughter LOVES the dumplings here. Service is excellent and atmosphere very nice. read more

We are regulars at the Gold Coin. 2 to 3 times a month. Food is always served quickly and everything is fresh. Staff is excellent and friendly. John the waiter is the best. Entire staff is excellent. read more
