Golden China is a golden gem hidden next to Lowes on the Nothshore. The food is consistently excellent and the vibe in the restaurant is really chill. My favorite dishes are the MaPo Tufu spicy and the beef with scallions in seafood sauce. The hot and sour soup is a standout. Service is excellent. Best Chinese food around. Highly recommended. read more

Golden China Chinese Restaurant - Lovely cherry blossoms - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Dropped in on Sunday for a first-time lunch at Golden China in Covington. The location is attractive, but although neat and tidy, interior decor and ambiance is quite dark and somewhat dated. A refresh needed, perhaps? Service was friendly, efficient, and extremely personable. My wife and I had the sweet and sour chicken snd garlic chicken, respectively. Both were quite good, although accompanying egg rolls were a little overdone. Egg drop soup and sweet and sour soup were both quite good. All in all, Golden China is a good spot for traditional Chinese-American food. read more

Every single dish my family had was terrible. The beef and broccoli tasted old and had canned mushrooms. It says everything is made fresh. Doubtful. My son had BBQ pork which was dry and had no flavor. The crab rangoon tasted off like the cream cheese went bad. I threw almost everything away after a few bites except the egg drop which had no color and I refused to eat because my husband said it tasted like hard boiled soup in dishwater. Total for everything was $80. Should have just gone to Trey Yuen. Save your money. Whoever writes the other reviews doesn't know good Chinese food. read more

Golden China Chinese Restaurant - Egg foo young - don't do it. - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Restaurant looks clean and dining room looks nice, staff were friendly. I ordered general tso chicken and was given a plate less than 2 minutes later with full of fried chicken half submerged in a pool of sauce. The chicken was not fresh and the sauce was sweet and sour. The employee told me the chicken would be spicy, it was not. The chicken was not fully coated in the sauce either. The fried rice was a little bland but overall good once I added their chili sauce. read more

Golden China Chinese Restaurant - 6. General Tso Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

We have been here twice in the past month or so and it has been amazing. We brought some friends for date because it was quiet and we could have a conversation without yelling. The food is fresh and delicious with a lot of flavor. The waitress is great with recommendations so if you need help deciding they are more than willing to help you decide. We loved the Mandarin Duck and the Mongolian Beef. read more

Absolutely love the "Lemon Chicken" they make with fresh chicken breast (not premade round chicken nuggets). One of my favorite dishes May always takes our order and knows exactly what we want. read more

Pork egg rolls are all cabbage. No meat. Pork appetizer overcooked. Beef n broccoli 90% broccoli

First, I wanna say thank you, Amy, the service was impeccable...it's like you we're reading my mind. Thank you so much for serving up a great meal! We ordered the kid's chicken and fries for the little dudes and, of course, I had to try the chicken. It was delicious! Perfectly fried and the batter was flaky and delicious. The little dudes rarely eat all of the chicken on their plates, but they were fighting over the last bite tonight. Or was that me? Whatever, it was good stuff. The appetizer sampler came out hot, fresh, and piled high. I tore through my chicken wing first and would go back just for an order of these babies. The Cho Cho, Crab Rangoon, and Temoura Shrimp were all pretty standard, but it is definitely a high standard. The egg rolls, too, were done well and were hot and crispy. The sauce is sweet and tangy, but I like mine spicy, so I kicked it up with some mustard. I would have really enjoyed some chili oil in it, though. Still, it was good and went fast! We ordered the Mongolian Beef entree. It comes with either white rice or combination fried rice; we got the fried rice. This was the only part of the meal I didn't care for. There wasn't much flavor and the rice was overcooked. Of course, it was the last half hour of the day, so I imagine they probably do a pretty good job most of the time, but most of the rice was left in the bowl when we were done. The Mongolian Beef, though, what a knock out! Fresh and crunchy vegetables, perfectly cooked strips of beef, with a sauce that was just spicy enough to make the Petunia and me smile big big. A dash of soy sauce and we were off and chomping. I wish there had been more beef, but that isn't the chef's fault; Petunia was on a roll with her fork. To be fair, we worked in the yard all day and this was our first meal, but I am writing this with a watering mouth thinking about that dish and wishing I had some more beef! First time here, but we will definitely be back; good food and great service are hallmarks of a good restaurant, and these guys are really good. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE They make you sit outside and wait for your food which is fine but when I called to let her know I was here she yelled at me not to call and that she knew I was here! I was outside with 4 other people so that seems suspicious that she would know my order when I don't normally come here. Then from other customers standing there I was told don't call because she gets mad, don't knock (the door is locked) because she gets mad, and don't question her because she gets mad. WILL NOT BE BACK I'm sure I can get food and hospitality somewhere else. read more

Golden China Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Let me begin with you NEVER put fried food directly into a Styrofoam container. All that does is melt carcinogenic plastics onto the food. So much of the order was not eaten, period! Now that said, NOTHING had flavor. Nothing! We normally do not use soy sauce or aminos on our Chinese food. All but the Sweet and Sour chicken we all drowned with soy sauce to get some semblance of flavor. HORRIBLE food. Will make the trip back to Slidell and get real food that is edible and cheaper as well. We had: Egg Fried Rice, nothing but egg that looked like ground meat it was so ground up, RAW onion and had no taste. Looked like caramel coloring was added to sort of make it look browned. Chicken Lo Mein, overcooked noodles, and flavorless sauce. RAW white onion I think this one had 2 pea pods in it. Crawfish Lo Mein, this must have flavor, right? Nope. Again mushy noodles, RAW white onion and tada ONE pea pod. Sweet and Sour Chicken, grandchild liked it, didn't want the RAW onion and bell pepper thrown on top and I really again must say, I bet the out of fryer chicken was thrown in a Styrofoam container BEFORE the sauce was poured over it...grand never said. Fried dumplings , sauce was brown vinegar with a bit of soy sauce added. Egg rolls, again fried and put into a Styrofoam container Fried chicken wings, thrown into a Styrofoam container as well. Wings, egg rolls, not eaten due to melted plastic in food. Bottome line after this lengthy review...NEVER AGAIN! read more

I was craving some general tso's so i stopped in for dinner. The staff are friendly and and the ambiance was nice. Our order came out fast and hot. But as you can see from my picture, that is not the General. It was some kind of mix of sweet and sour and orange chicken. It was not good. Maybe other things on the menu are good, but I won't be coming back to find out :( read more

Golden China Chinese Restaurant - Tiniest side of uncle ben's rice I've ever seen and a pre-crushed fortune cookie. - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Really good Chinese food that's made to order. Very clean inside and pretty decor. There is no buffet so it takes a few minutes for your food to come out. Came out hot and fresh. The Cashew Chicken had a great flavor and nice lunch portion. The Sweet and Sour Chicken wasn't my favorite. It had an odd batter and a yellow sauce with a slight lemon flavor. They do not have the traditional red sauce. The egg rolls were decent. I would recommend and go again but keep trying other dishes. read more

Best egg drop soup anywhere and the only Chinese place that has beef and snow peas. Been going for years and still love it

Ordered food here last night and all three of us that ate the food got very very sick from the Lo Main or the dumplings. The food quality was very bad and the prices were high. I spent the night in the bathroom only because of this place. I wish I could have my money back. read more

Golden China Chinese Restaurant - Singapore noodles with shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Very pretty place. Menu is varied. All Chinese food. No vietnamese or Japanese. Noodle selection was sparse but the did have Singapore noodles which I love. They also have fruit boba teas. Too sweet for me but I am sure most people here will like them. Good quality and quantity. Will definitely go back. read more

We get take out from here almost once a week. My husband and I always split a combination platter. We either get the general tso chicken or the lo mein noodle with chicken which are always delicious! It comes with a soup, fried rice, and an eggroll so it's enough for us to split. Try this place out if you're looking for good Chinese in the Covington/Mandeville area. read more

Terrible food, bad service, they never answer the phone, what else do you want? They suck.

I have NEVER been treated so poorly by a restaurant employee!! The woman hung up on me when I called, then when I called again, she actually yelled "WHAAAAAT? I'M BUSY!" My daughter heard it & her jaw dropped! I will absolutely NEVER be back here! read more

This is the only Chinese restaurant that I will eat at. They don't use MSG so I don't get a migraine the next day...food is freshly prepared each time I order...it's not sitting around like the buffet restaurants. Friendly staff too...offers recommendations although I usually stick to my tried and true favorites. read more

I've had this place twice. Same order both times: Mandarin Chicken, sauce on side, with fried rice and an egg roll. First time, my food was extraordinarily over salted. I did get through about half of it, but it was actually giving me a burning sensation in my mouth from the salt. I had never experienced over salted to this degree before and I love salt, especially considering it enhances every aspect of a dish. Second time, the food had ZERO salt. While this was better than too salty to eat, it was still just unusual. Seems just like an inconsistency, or maybe a different chef between the two times? read more

Had Mandarin chicken. Excellent, Fabulous!!!!! Only Chinese restaurant I'll go back to on Northshore. Huge portion. Tender and delicious. They only use white meat. Egg roll is homemade and huge. read more

Golden China Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Good solid old school Chinese American restaurant. They have a good menu with all the usual suspects that are cooked to order and served up hot and fresh. Their lunch specials are a bargain and come out of the kitchen fairly quickly during lunch time. Interesting take on General Chicken, instead of that sticky, sweet, goo, covered, gelatinous mess (which I do crave on occasion) these guys serve a lightly sweet and tangy sauce over freshly fried pieces of chicken that is nice change from the usual. read more

I cannot understand why this place does not get the attention that the other Chinese restaurants get in town. The food here is always fresh, msg free and tasty. My picky husband said it was the best Chinese food he had in a long time. Plus he's cheap, so he was satisfied with the prices. A plus, plus is there is no waiting for a table. He said we can go back, woohoo! read more

This is absolutely my new favorite Chinese restaurant in my area ! I happen to be shopping at a local store and decided to go ahead and order some Chinese takeout for dinner first of all I called about 15 minutes before the website said they closed and made sure it was OK the owner I guess said sure go ahead and order . Well let me tell you it was phenomenal number one there egg drop soup was amazing their general chicken oh my goodness of light Lee fried not heavy at all and the combination rice wise so fluffy amazing! When I got there to pick up the food I went inside paid the bill and just as I was in there another lady came and picked up her mail and she had nothing but great things to say about this restaurant she's informed me they have no MSG I can pick it up from them for years while she was right about how amazing the food was I had to write this review when I got back home everyone love the dinner so on that note I recommend their general chicken and their sweet-and-sour chicken their egg drop soup oh my goodness I forgot to say their shrimp toast amazing will be ordering again thanks so much read more

Went for lunch, food was hot and had a decent flavor. Good service , hard to see feom the road.

am not sure how long this place has been in business, but it is a Monet. It seems great at first glance but, up close, what a mess. When my family first moved to the area this was our favorite takeout place. It seemed clean and the food seemed fresh. The owner was friendly, and it appeared to be a family owned business which we try to support. We did stop going here after an inexcusable experience that led to me contacting the health department. One day I was sick, and my husband got me my favorite chicken noodle soup from there and this time it came with a flying bug in it. It was packaged in a clear container sealed tightly so it was at the restaurant for sure since I did not even open the container. So, apparently the kitchen is not as clean as I thought, and they don't pay attention to the bug in the soup in a clear container where it is very visible. We told the owner, drove across town to show her and her only response was, do you want a new soup? I told her no thanks I would prefer a new restaurant instead. read more

Went here for the first time after seeing the great reviews on yelp and I definitely have to agree!

I just walked in to eat lunch. The person behind the bar reached across the bar, handed me a menu and *pointed* to a table. I asked if I could have a booth (there were only a few people in the place so it didn't seem like that big of a request). She rolled her eyes at me tho. So I said: thanks, I'll go somewhere else. I won't be back. That's about the worst customer service I've experienced. read more

My wife and I came here try this place out. We are both fans of Chinese food. What liked first off was the atmosphere. Quaint and quiet. The service was quick and easy. The food was very fresh. You could tell that from the crab Rangoon appetizer to the stir fry vegetable with beef to the hot n spicy chicken dish. Every vegetable fresh and crunchy and tasty, and nuances of the dishes you could taste and you just can't beat fresh! We will be coming back here most definitely! read more
