Today I ordered the Hot & Sour soup. I was surprised that the soup was very dark as if would be if it were black coffee. The ingredients have changed for the worst. I do not recommend this new recipe does not equal the previous recipe for Hot & sour soup. Dried Chinese black fungus is a common ingredient in hot and sour soup, a hearty, sour, spicy, and savory Chinese soup but is missing in new bad recipe soup at this Golden China location. Black fungus is also popular in other Asian countries, such as Japan, and can be used in soups, stir-fries, and salads. It has a crunchy texture. read more

Ordered fried noodles, they gave me fried rice. I went back to show them my receipt and the food and they refused to give me a refund and also REFUSED TO GIVE ME WHAT I ORDERED. They tried gaslighting me and telling me that I ordered fried rice even though I was literally holding the receipt that shows I ordered fried noodles. PATHETIC SCAMMERS LMAO read more

It's just okay. The staff is very kind and friendly, but the last few times the food has been mediocre at best. The sesame chicken only had a few pieces that weren't dry as a bone or deep fried like a small rock. The pork fried rice had very little pork in it. Maybe it was a busy Friday, but there are better options. I'll try again in a few months. read more

Pretty excited that this place serves great fried dumplings, I got the boneless spare ribs which were also good. Im looking forward to coming back for more dumplings and trying the other stuff on the menu which is very reasonably priced. As a heads up check the menu I posted, the ones you will find online I came to find out arent updated. read more

Very close to my house. I stop here for lunchtime food if I have a hankering for Chinese food. You can now order online. You can't pay online but ordering is easy and convenient. Hubby liked his chicken dish just fine. My chicken with veggies was kind of bland. Could of used pepper and maybe some other seasonings. We both added the red pepper hot sauce. That sauce is good if you like spicy. Next time I will try a different dish with a different sauce. We also got spring rolls. 2 rolls per order. They were OK. Not as crispy as I would like. Give them a try. We will be back. The lunch dishes are really a good value. read more

Great prices for some great food. I noticed this place when i drove by it many times, but never actually stopped in. The restaurant is mostly made for takeout, however they do have a few tables within. The tables looked newer, and compared to many take out style chinese restaurants, the tables were clean and not sticky. I ordered steamed chicken and broccoli (going for a healthier option) and without hesitation, the person behind the desk asked if i wanted the sauce on the side (rather than not asking and soaking it in the sauces). in addition, the pricing was very decent. i look forward to trying new items on their healthy menu! read more

Okay. This place is okay. For service and friendliness of the employees, its a winner. For the food, it's a tossup between "meh" and "okay". Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but I just didn't find the food to be all that memorable. The sweet and sour pork was bread-y. There was too much batter on it and it tasted like it was cooked in old oil. The pot stickers were filling, but there was way more "outside" than "inside" and it was like eating dough. Because of the other positive reviews and the steady stream of customers with take-out orders, I'm inclined to think I need to try again and order something else. Based on this experience, though, I think there are better choices for take-out Chinese than what I had here. "Okay" it is, at least for now. read more

Decent food, decent service. It's a nice alternative to Shanghai Alley it's closer to my house as well.

This is the best Chinese food in Cary, or Apex! I usually have the Kung Pao beef extra spicy with no green peppers-always very tender. The Mongolian Beef, which only comes in one size, is the best I've ever had. Instead of beef you can't chew and mostly raw green onions you get a ton of beef and perfectly cooked onion. Tonight I had the curry chicken (which I've never had anywhere) and was surprised by how great it tastes. We've never had anything that wasn't really good. Give this place a try! read more

I can clearly see why they don't have the best ratings. I didn't even have their food because their customer service was SO lousy that after waiting and waiting (and ignoring me) she said, "oh you should've told me." What? You mean read that order ticket to you that you're holding in your hand right now? You mean do your job for you? Every single order in there was an online order that got called on when ready. She just forgot and didn't admit to forgetting. My order was so simple too. There was one point where another customer looked at me and shook his head on how bad the customer service was. read more

Great Value! Great Taste! Craving something spicy; I just wasn't sure what I wanted or where I should go. I started driving and let my instincts just show me the way. I ended up at the shopping center on Old apex rd.& Cary Parkway. There's a Ace Hardware,Food Lion,H&R Block, Thrift shop,Tangerine Cafe,Golden China, Salvo's Pizza. Chinese food looked like a good choice and the $5.95 menu posted in the window,quickly made my decision. Although,there are tables and chairs inside, the take out seemed to be the most popular. Ordering was quick and easy. I loved my curry chicken! Will definitely return! read more

The workers here are super nice. The food was super tasty too! I would recommend this place!

If you want the "classic" takeout Americanized Chinese food, you can't go wrong with this place. We've been coming here since 1994 (they been here since 1993) and we always get what we expected. Authentic? They are not, just like all the takeout (mostly) Chinese restaurants, but who ever says you must be authentic to be delicious? Sometimes, you just crave for this type of food. The service is quick. I called ahead for the order and it was ready when I got there - 15 minutes. I got the lunch special for chicken with black bean sauce, and Szechuan Beef, plus hot and sour soup. The lunch specials are less than $6, a great deal! The food was tasty, the meat was tender, and it was hot off the wok. There are many restaurants of this type within 5 miles, but I think this oldie is still the best. One more thing - due to Covid, they have this plastic sheet up at the counter, with a small window to get payment and to deliver the food. This protects the works and the customers - a good sign to see during Covid times. read more

Super good food at good prices! Had the Szechuan Chicken, it was delicious! Egg rolls are very good and not greasy.

We tried this place because of the good Yelp reviews... We picked up sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken today and boy we were we disappointed. We paid extra for white meat, and when we started eating, we quickly realized it was not. Both dishes were chewy, with the outer edges extremely soft and to be honest quite disgusting. Usually these dishes have a nice crispy outer crust - but not this. Im not sure if the dish was old, or if they just don't know how to cook. I couldn't eat more than a few bites without feeling ill. Extremely disappointed. At this point I'm just hoping we don't get sick. I would avoid this place at all costs. read more

Golden China - General tsos. Worst I've ever had - Chinese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

My favorite local Chinese place. The food and service is fabulous and SUPER COVID safe.

The reviews are very misleading. I hate to say this but this was the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I think the Chinese food that you get in the mall is better. Everything is heavy and so greasy my family threw away the leftovers rather than suffering again. I will drive longer to go to the authentic restaurant in Morrisville. read more

Good food, huge portions...a nice hole-in-the-wall joint. I ordered the triple delight with black pepper sauce, extra spicy. It was mild. The cook had to have missed that note. Still, good flavor and a very large portion. Larger than I expected...good that I liked it. My wife went with three appetizers - egg drop soup, fried wontons, and an egg roll. The egg drop soup was among the best she had. As was the egg roll. The miss was the wontons. They tasted like a so-so egg roll. We did not expect that. They would do better with a cream cheese filling rather than pork. If I was reviewing on what I ate, is five them three stars. My wife's food pushed it up to four. I'll probably tell them to make their best spicy dish and see how that rolls on out next visit. Add in the excellent price - less than $19 - and you have a winner. We're definitely going back for more takeout. read more

Golden China - Triple delight with black pepper, large egg drop soup - Chinese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I feel like I was mislead by all the positive reviews. Either they were lies or folks in Cary aren't familiar with Chinese food. I had beef with broccoli. The portion was small but that was a good thing because it had the taste of Chinese food that has been in the fridge a few days. The rice was dry and there was barely any brown sauce. Definitely won't be back. read more

Tried this place hoping to find a good Chinese takeout locally. This is not it at all. The food was so bland. We got spicy shredded beef and chicken with cashew and it was horrible. No flavor whatsoever and will not be ordering from here again. read more

This little Chinese restaurant is a perfect place to stop and get a good bite to eat! First off, the service is excellent. The girl working the counter was super friendly, and offered me a plate upon me telling here I was going to eat there. Second, the food is done quickly. I ordered and got my food in under 10 minutes. Third, the food is flavorful. The Wonton Soup is some of the tastiest Wonton Soup that I have ever had, and I have been going to Chinese restaurants for a long time. The Chicken Lo Mein is a plentiful portion for a good price. The next time I am craving Chinese food in Apex, I will definitely stop here. Go check it out! read more

Chicken and Broccoli taste the smell of an old lady's house. Does that make sense to anyone like it does to me? Not good! read more

Lunch specials are super reasonable for $5.29 which comes with an entree and pork fried rice or steamed. Decent flavor and quantity, especially for the price. Nothing fancy, good option for Chinese take out for locals. read more

What Happened? I got the spicy beef with onions. The beef was barely seared...it was really raw beef with onions. The fried rice had maybe one piece of pork and not green onions. While the prices have increased, the portions have shrunk. This used to be my standard, but after waiting 10 minutes to pick up a raw meal...you lost my business. read more

This place is what hooked me on Chinese food. I was never a huge fan of the style , but I assume that's because I had never had really good Chinese cuisine. This place is within walking distance from a friend's house, it is an absolute favorite of his. I would suggest anything on the menu, it won't disappoint. read more

The absolutely worst Chinese food that I have ever eaten. Pork fried rice was dry with 2 little bits of pork. The man at the front was rude. I will never eat there again. read more

This is one of my favorite place to grab Chinese food quick. Haven't tried too much on the menu but the fried dumplings are my go to. Huge portion for the price! read more

Love this little take out place. I order online about once a month. My order is always ready when I get there. The wonton soup is amazing. The staff is always friendly. read more

This is a great little take out Chinese place with good food and pretty good service. The young ladies who work the front counter or answer the phone are always friendly and the orders are always correct. The food is good, plentiful, and reasonably cheap. I've never waited over 10 minutes for anything. The food is well prepared and flavorful. My favorites are their General Tso Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Chicken Lo Mien, and Crab Rangoon. The dining room is a few simple tables and chairs and the "atmosphere" is definitely strip-mall so it isn't likely a great place for a romantic dinner. It is perfect for a quick lunch with friends - and, naturally, for take out. Golden China maintains a good sanitation rating. All in all, good food at a good value. read more

Best Mu Shu anywhere. I ask for it as a spicy dish and they make it very spicy. Instead of giving you a few pancakes like other restaurants do, they steam and give you an entire package. The portion is huge - one portion lasts for three to four meals. I have had the vegetarian, chicken and pork mu shu and all are excellent. Golden China rates 5++ for the mu shu. I gave it a 4 because sometimes they prop open the front door and I don't think that's extremely sanitary. read more

Great American style Chinese take out. They have very flavorful food although they could stand to use a little less oil. They are always fast and courteous. Get the cashew chicken, hot and sour soup, wonton egg drop soup, house special lo mein, hunan chicken, teriyaki beef, crab rangoons, bbq ribs, and steamed dumplings...well you get the point. Oh and their chicken wings are excellent too-they have hints of curry in them. read more

I love this restaurant! It's close to my house. They have menu with a wide variety of items. They make dishes the way you ask and the food is always ready quickly and it tastes good! Price is right too! Some of our favorites include: moo shu chicken, beef with broccoli, anything lomein, General Tsao's Chicken, Sesame Chicken, egg rolls, steamed dumplings - the sauce with the dumplings and with the moo shu chicken is to die for! I am so glad they are so close to our house. read more

We've been eating at Golden China at Cary Parkway and Old Apex Rd for 20+ years. It's about as good and consistent Chinese food as you will find in Cary. The people are friendly and the portions are generous. Want good take out Chinese? Try anything on the menu. You'll love it. And you'll have leftovers for tomorrow morning and nice repeatable containers that you can re-use over and over. Best House Lo Mein in town. She loves the Moo-Goo-Gai-Pan. And Fried dumplings read more

Golden China - " To Go" containers are excellent for re-use. - Chinese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Great little place. Cashiers are always sweet. Egg rolls are a good goto and orange chicken is the bomb!

Best Chinese food in town!!! I just moved here 4 months ago and I'm a regular at this place now. They won me over with their EGG ROLLS.!! Omg best egg roll ever. You have to at least order a combo so you can taste the egg roll. You don't even need duck sauce with it, I'm telling u it's DELICIOUS lol. I always get the general tso or shrimp and broccoli both exceptional flavor. A lil pricey but worth it. And it's cheaper during lunch time. read more

Unlike other Chinese restaurants, they were able to make our meal as requested without onions and veggies. Usually places make our order wrong, so this was nice right off the bat. Plus, the food was good! It's your normal Chinese fare but it's actually good. read more

First--and last--visit. Order was ready fast, average price, pretty warm, but bland and barely average in every other regard. Can only guess we caught them on an off night (judging from the other reviews) but was way below expectations. read more

Great for take out on the way home from RDU. Quality food at fair prices

I have gotten their food for years. I have not had a menu for about 2 yrs. I called to order take out. The woman who answered the phone kept laughing as she told me they have no online menu. Then she asked me what I wanted, I responded I was not sure, since I did not know what they have. I asked her for something hot and spicy without nuts. She laughed and said she did not know. ??? OKAY...I asked her if she knew the menu, she kept laughing and told me "not really", more laughter. Ummm...maybe it's just me, but even if they are from another country, I expect the people answering the phone to know what they are taking orders for. The food is great, customer service is NON existent. At least the person answering the phone is not. read more
