My new favorite china place in Hilliard. Stays open no matter what and has good qualities food. Owner is very nice and they give big portions . I love their sweet barbecue ribs. read more

I've told the owner and people working here, on numerous occasions, that they have the best Chinese carry out in the area. I've not only eaten Chinese prepared food quite a bit throughout Ohio, but all over the country, I've eaten Chinese food. What makes them the best? Consistently good tasting food, cleanliness, great service, and value for your dollar. There may be other Chinese restaurants equally assessed, but there is none other which surpasses Golden China Express! Oh, and did I mention they have the best Chinese carry out in the area? read more

I am editing this review but not updating from before. My view stayed the same as I gave it another try and walked away feeling ehh. This place could be lower depending on what you grade them on. Food seems to be of quality and cooked properly (chicken pieces were nice sized and not stringy) but everything I ate tasted just average. Not spicy, sweet, salty, or savory. Curry Chicken: basically chicken with onions, carrots, water chestnuts, and a few snow peas. I tasted very little curry spice except in my first bite. maybe they make chicken with veggies and then just sprinkle a little on it to make it Curry chicken. General Tso's: average taste with little to no spice. Nice pieces of chicken. $7.25 for combo. Crab Rangoon: Not the overly sweet taste that some do and it seemed to be more real crab than other places. Only 5 for $4.25 seems pricey. Prior trip below: My wife and I ordered two dishes that we thought be different from each other. When we got home, we couldn't tell if we got the same dish or something different. My wife ordered Black Pepper Chicken while I ordered Hunan Chicken. I thought they were the same thing from taste and look. We called them to see if they made a mistake. They said that they made the two different dishes but i still have doubts. They offered to make another dish for free but I didn't feel like driving back up. The Hunan Chicken was decent. The Black pepper was not like some places Black pepper where it is a dry rub. This was a sauce very similar to Hunan. My wife didn't like it so I received leftovers for lunch since she preferred to eat something else. The egg rolls were ok but not as great as I have read on other reviews. I would try this place again because they were very friendly and the food wasn't bad. I know of better Chinese places on the west side. read more

Always fast delivery, piping hot food and a delicious meal. If they tell you it'll be a 45 minute wait, I guarantee you it'll only be around 20. read more

Best chinese takeout in all of Columbus/Hilliard! Super high quality and great for the price.

My and my boyfriend's go-to for Chinese take out. Food is always good and everyone is super friendly!

Always great service and food is consistently the same great quality every time! We love the fried rice and lo mein.

This place has one of the dishes that I love but isn't always available at other Chinese restaurants. Boneless spare ribs. Food is always fresh, they ALWAYS get my order right (even if all I asked for was extra duck sauce) and delivery is always speedy. It's a little pricy (not by much) which is why they didn't get 5 stars but it's my go to when I have a craving for Chinese food and will be until I move or they close down. I definitely recommend them if you're in the Hilliard area. read more

I had the Pad Thai with chicken. It had too much heat and virtually no flavor. It had slices of green Chili's in it, which I've never seen in Pad Thai at any of the other dozen or so restaurants where I've had it. I won't be going back. read more

Love how quick they were in processing my order and they were very nice to my daughters when we went inside to pickup our food :]

Worth the drive to Hilliard! I would even say the best Chinese takeout quality wise in Columbus. The portions are huge and filled with quality ingredients. Based on Yelp reviews, I ordered General Tsos chicken, vegetable lo mein (large) and a vegetable egg roll. For a little over $20 it fed my boyfriend and I for 3 meals. The quality of the meat wasn't questionable like a lot of Chinese places. Takeout was fast and efficient. I will happily drive 15 minutes to pick up Chinese from this Golden China Express! read more

I've been here twice and had their sweet and sour chicken and also had their shrimp fried rice...it was good. It's not the most of glamorous places from the outside but you will get quality food and value for your money. read more

Hilliard is a weird place. The Chinese restaurant in town that has a modern, attractive building, updated interior and looks like it would be a high-quality establishment (Golden Chopsticks) is actually just a notch above your average mall food-court Chinese fast-food joint. Golden China, on the other hand, looks like a complete dive. Based solely on appearance, you would expect greasy mass-produced mall food from Golden China, but in reality, it's the best I've had in Hilliard so far. (note: will update if I find something better) They didn't drown the food in a sea of oil. The rice was perfectly cooked. The broccoli was al-dente and not the over-cooked mush you get most other places. The egg rolls were fried to crispy perfection and not soggy. The won-ton soup tasted like chicken broth and not salt water. The shrimps were huge! It was a very pleasant meal. Please note that the portion sizes seem small in their take-out containers. They don't use the traditional white buckets but instead use covered plastic trays. However, don't let the presentation fool you-- there's two days worth of dinner in one tray. Though the food is fantastic, I would not dine-in. The interior is kinda depressing. Florescent lights illuminate a sterile white-and-green themed interior with lanolium floors. They also have the usual rear-lit panoramas of a river valley and the Great Wall where the middle of the picture sags backwards because it's become unglued over time. Take all that, add flimsy tables and chairs and the female owner screaming at her chefs in Mandarin and you'll want to order take-out. They hired two gringo's to run the counter, but they kept talking about their go-carts and lawn mowers. Dirty and rough, they looked like they had just finished repairing a small engine. So in a nutshell:. This place serves awesome food cooked by real Asians in a family run establishment. This is the best Chinese restaurant for takeout in Hilliard I've reviewed so far. I will update this review if I find better. They even have a "diet" menu where the meals are steamed instead of stir-fried. I can't wait to try that. read more

We were traveling home from Dayton to Cleveland on 71. I was hungry for Lemon Chicken and asked Siri to find places to eat. We chose Golden China because their website said Best Chinese in Ohio. I chuckled and thought of the scene in Elf where he visits the restaurant with the "Best Coffee." It was a bit far from exiting the highway and we passed several places to eat but so glad we ate at Golden China!! It IS the best Chinese food in Ohio, best and nicest service, and we received our fresh delicious food quickly! Would go out of our way again to eat here. read more

Decent, fast Chinese. A strip mall location, of course... The sesame chicken was good, and had some nice fresh steamed broccoli with it. The lunch specials are a great deal, and the service was very friendly. They only had flimsy plasticware. read more

It's as standard as it gets at Golden China Express. And I mean that in a good way. As far as Americanized Chinese restaurants go, I really only look for the place to be clean, the staff to be friendly, and, of course, the hanging paper lanterns, lit-up pictures of a Chinese landscape, and an interesting color scheme. GCE does not disappoint. Of course, the biggest deal breaker is the food. It's hot, fresh, and tasty. It's amazing how many places don't get the standard fare right: lo mein, soup, egg rolls, etc. It's not gourmet. It's nothing unique. It's just done correctly. What more can you ask for? read more

Golden China has very good food. One of our daughters picked up takeout for dinner while she was out in Hilliard. I was very pleased with her choice. The food quality was high, and the flavor profiles great, the portion size large and the price point very agreeable. We had sesame chicken, Kung pao chicken, egg rolls, crab rangoons and steamed dumplings. I found all of the dishes to be very good, but one thing stood out above the rest, the dumplings. Excellent dumplings! The texture, the flavor and the amount of filling in the dumplings was outstanding. Truly some of the best in Columbus. If you find yourself out in Hilliard, I highly recommend you try Golden China. read more

We had the sweet and sour chicken, steamed pot stickers, crab Rangoon, and egg rolls to go. YUM! I recommend all that we listed especially the pot stickers. Like other reviewers mentioned the food is not greasy, is fresh, and what you would expect from a Chinese take out place! This is your go to Chinese spot in Hilliard if you need one and don't want Panda Express. I'm very happy we tried it and will be back again! read more

I did not realize what a gem this place was when we lived closer. After having takeout from so many other delivery places across the city, nothing measures up to Golden China. Portions are generous, the food is always very clean and fresh tasting, and the delivery time has always exceeded expectations. read more

I was told 1 hour for delivery. It was 2-1/2. I couldn't reach the restaurant to even get an update on ETA in between placing the order and finally getting delivery. I would say terrible customer service but there was no customer service. Food was cold. read more

I have been ordering from this excellent establishment now for several months (6 months) and have been satisfied each time. I have not visited this restaurant yet, and have ordered delivery each time. Although we are pretty far away, we are very lucky to get our food delivered here in Dublin - 43016 Zip Code. So if you read this and live in this zip code call them and check them out. Why because we don't have any other Chinese restaurant that delivers here - yeah you could do it with a Courier but this is the real thing. Especially at this quality and price! The quality that I am talking about is almost every aspect of their business. First off, their food preparation is unbelievable, why? Their food is not greasy AT ALL - everything is fresh and delicious! It's awesome. I normally order the #75. Scallops with Garlic Sauce - OMG. The scallops are nice size with a large portion of vegetables in a brown sauce - accompanied with your choice and style of rice. The taste is excellent - it is seasoned perfectly. If you want it hot spicey, just ask them. I normally get a an order of Spring Rolls (2 comes with the order) and split them with my wife. She orders #51. House Special Chow Mei Fun - also another excellent dish, she says it is "absolutely delicious". I think it is as well. When I have called in the past, the phone has been answered by a very nice people who have taken my order quickly and courteous - very nice people! I don't think anyone eating any dish here will be anything but pleased, as I have been each time! Try them you won't be displeased. I love the fact that we can order from this restaurant and they always delivery very quickly even though we are far away. They are the best and we feel very lucky to be able to get delivery from them! read more

This is my boyfriend and I's staple Chinese delivery place. They have the lowest prices I've seen, we usually get a smorgasbord of food (egg rolls, wonton soup, lo mein, general tso's chicken, crab Rangoon, and steamed dumplings), and we only pay about 30 bucks for all that delivered. The food is always super hot and delicious. They have GREAT sauces and their food is always flavorful. I've never been disappointed with quality or portion either. For the prices you get 8 dumplings compared to a tradional 6, and 5 crab Rangoon compared to 4. Steal. I did have one issue, which was that they forgot an order of crab Rangoon once on a Friday night. We usually order during the week so we just took it with a grain of salt as they appeared to be very busy. The owner was the one to bring it to us (although it took almost as long as the original order to get there). Wouldn't stop me from ordering again! read more

Tried this for the first time this weekend and was very impressed. Stopped in for carry out without ordering ahead and the service was so quick! I think we waited a total of 5 minutes, while we waited the inside looked clean and kept up. When we arrived home and started digging in the food was packaged in nice containers and so hot. Not one complaint on the food- the pepper steak was sooooo good and I am usually very hesitant to order it at new places. The spicy pad Thai was also on point and actually spicy, yay. This is our new spot! read more

This is one of the best mom and pop Chinese place around this area. They have great lunch specials, the food is quality and the staff is friendly. They are fairly quick with service! Try this place out for lunch or carry out!!! You will not be disappointed at all!! read more

I order regularly from here. Pros: The food is usually hot, fresh and the portions are good. The fact that they deliver to my house is why we order frequently. Cons: Customer service when talking to them on the phone has zero charisma. Maybe someone who doesn't mind speaking in a more polite manner should answer... It might make more people want to call and order. Every time I call, it feels like a chore on both ends and I'm not even sure they care to have my business. Fried rice needs work. Almost looks and tastes like its out of the frozen food section. If that and the customer service were of a higher standard I would def being giving this place 5 star read more

Great "old school" place for takeout. Mu Shu, Egg Foo Yung, Egg Rolls, Hot and Sour soup, etc. Not authentic but excellent Chinese-American favorites. Huge portions. read more

This place is ALWAYS solid, called a delivery order in tonight told me 30-45 minutes. We received our food in 20-25 minutes. Haven't eaten the food yet but I'm sure it's GREAT as usual. read more

By far, the best dumplings in Columbus and some of the best ive had. I dont order anything besides the dumplings. I get them Steamed, and I would be very surprised if these were frozen and not hand made. If they come frozen then I need to find the store they get them from. read more

I was actually blown away by this place. In terms of taste, quantity and price, I can't imagine that I'll find a better place than this. They even did a great job with my request for the spiciest dish by offering to really turn the heat up. Mission accomplished!! I don't know if there's a better place near me but I'm 99% certain that I won't waste my time trying to find it. This is my new go-to place for Chinese takeout. read more

WOW!! Love their egg rolls and crab rangoon! The shrimp egg rolls had full pieces of shrimp and the crab rangoon was so delicious. My office orders from them 2-3 times a week and on certain occasions twice a day(for each shift). They are courteous and get the food to us quickly. Really enjoy their food and service. read more

Very quick service. Better than your average fast food Chinese. Most of the time when I call they already know what I want by my phone number. read more

Picked up a carry out order while running a tournament at the pool hall next door. Service was polite and quick. We ordered Curry chicken, General tso chicken, and some plain lo mien noodles. The Curry chicken was very tender and cooked well. Had a nice surprise of heat to it as well. The general tso was not overally breaded and also cooked well. The sauce was a little odd. To be honest when I tried it the first thought I kept getting was "ketchupy". The noodles were very good. hot and just the right level of oil on them. Would probably order from again. read more

This is a simple little place best for takeout, not a sit-down dinner. Although there are tables and booths if you need them, it's not set up for that kind of dining experience. The food is fast (10 minutes for pick up), affordable, large portions, and reliably good. The house lo mein and spring rolls are both delicious, and the Szechuan tofu was excellent with lots of perfectly cooked fresh vegetables and a great sauce. Grab a menu on your way out the door. You're sure to use it! read more

Holy deliciousness! My roommate and I just moved to Hilliard this year and are still discovering new restaurants at least once a month. A few weeks ago, we got the immense craving for Chinese food and decided to browse Yelp to see what we could find. You see, we've already tried a few other Chinese restaurants in Hilliard, and let me just say....we were not impressed. The other places tasted like pure grease and always made me feel sick. That's why I like this restaurant. Their food isn't too greasy, their delivery is fast, and their customer service is decent. I highly recommend trying their steamed dumplings. YUM! read more

Update as of 3/10/18: Ordered two dishes tonight with mixed vegetables. The veggies were extremely fresh and seasoning was on the mark. Love this little place. Family is always happy with their meals. Prices remain reasonable and serving size is large. read more

This is the best for the price point in the area that I've found so far. My only complaint is that the crab Rangoon could have been stuffed more fully (some of them had a lot of "crust"). It never takes them more than 15 minutes to get our order together & we have never experienced any issues with our order. This is my choice for Chinese food in the Hilliard area! read more

Everything was bland. Egg rolls, crab Rangoon, pork fried rice, even the general tso chicken. I wasn't really impressed.

Best in Hilliard for sure, quick deliveries and food was very tasty. Hot and sour soup was awesome, fried rice was perfect add egg foo young was some of the best I've had. Only complaint was lo-mein was very bland, otherwise pretty incredible read more

This is good, inexpensive, Chinese delivery in Hilliard. I got the house fried rice and it was enough for two meals. The fried dumplings were tasty but on the greasy side. This was our first time trying it and I'm sure we will be ordering from here again soon. read more

I was promised the Singapore noodles contains no nuts of any kind in cumin sauce or elsewhere. Liars. 20 mins later I get hives and loss of breath. Allergy pills came for the rescue. I don't care how tasty everyone thinks this place is. When they unintentionally sanction a hit on your life, even though I asked! They may as well shoot at me with a Shanghai made bazooka. Not cool Golden China. Not cool. read more
