1 -- Do NOT eat here if you have MSG sensitivity I strongly advise anyone with an MSG allergy or sensitivity to avoid this place. The food clearly contained MSG, and after eating I experienced a severe allergic reaction that nearly progressed to anaphylaxis. This was extremely frightening and could have been life-threatening. There was no clear warning about MSG use, and staff did not indicate that the food contained it. Restaurants should be transparent about ingredients that can cause serious medical reactions. Please be cautious -- your health is not worth the risk. read more

Food was cold and the shrimp were tiny. Mostly coated bread and not really shrimp. I also didn't receive the correct amount that was supposed to come with it. Instructions weren't followed for food. read more

Golden China Restaurant - Food was cold once it arrived and was tiny and over cooked. Didn't receive the right amount either - Chinese Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

Ordered Golden China for dinner on Saturday night, per my husband's recommendation. This place might be lowkey, but the food is exceptional. My husband used to frequent this spot because he lived just 5 minutes away, and now I know why. I opted for the beef and broccoli combo with white rice, and it was a decision I didn't regret. The beef was incredibly tender, and the generous amount of sauce on the platter perfectly coated the broccoli, just how I like it. The rice was consistently well-cooked, bringing the whole dish together. I enjoyed the meal so much that I forgot to take pictures. That's how good it was. Golden China may not be a flashy place, but their food is a hidden gem. P.S. they don't accept apple pay - only card or cash! read more

This place stands out as far as your standard Chinese delivery/takeout places go. Food is always hot and fresh when I get delivery. Flavor is always there. Their Lo Mein is delicious and I haven't had a bad entree yet. Compared to most standard places who skimp on sauce or who just generally don't care, this place is a definite improvement. They're generous with the portions and sauce. Definitely my go-to for local delivery. 5 stars is relative considering it's still just a takeout/delivery Chinese place. It's no Michelin star restaurant, but it'll definitely satisfy the craving for cheap, salty, Chinese food which is one of my favorites. read more

Order food from here yesterday 3 cakes with gravy. It was ok. Paid $12 for meal. It was ready quickly. Communication on phone was a little difficult and the menu was confusing on web site. read more

Pretty standard local spot I haven't had a bad experience. I've had the shrimp and broccoli, shrimp egg roll and sweet and shout chicken. They have fast delivery too. read more

We ordered here based on the recommendations of our neighbors. It's was fine. I got hot & sour soup, which wasn't as sour as I like but not bad. The appetizers we ordered were good. The chow mein tasted good, but the vegetables were nearly all cabbage. They could have added some celery, onions, and carrots for color and variety. We also got sesame chicken, which tasted like it had been frozen and then fried. The sauce was cloyingly sweet, almost like they used ketchup as a base. I wouldn't say it was awful, but it's not something I would recommend either. The price wasn't bad for the amount of food we got. read more

Ordering online through Yelp from Golden China is quick and so easy! They're located close to my parents' house and we've ordered pick-up from them twice. The food was ready before the time that Yelp said it would be both times, and picking up was seamless. This past time we ordered chicken lo mein, General Tso's chicken, beef & broccoli, crab rangoons, and shrimp egg rolls. Everything was tasty! We are not snobs by any measure so I'm sure there is better quality out there. However, I have come here twice looking for greasy, salty, satisfying Chinese food and have not been disappointed. The convenience is an added bonus!! read more

Classic corner store Chinese food. Stick with the classics. You want lo mein not chow mein.

Possibly charged me a delivery fee that's not mentioned on the takeout menu and when I asked about it the staff is very rude and impatient. The food itself is not even as good as Panda Express, the kung pow chicken is sliced and not diced, there are no dried peppers but only their pre made sauce. I say this as a Chinese person: there's nothing authentic about the food here and it's not even good American Chinese food, what a letdown. All around a bad experience, will not order again. Their Singaporean rice noodles is also very, very, very bland AND greasy. read more

I was really craving Chinese food and was gratified to find that this place delivers. I'll admit to getting a bit nervous about the delivery time, but the order arrived only a couple of moments past the predicted window. I ordered crab rangoon, fried dumplings, a large wonton soup and the orange chicken dinner. The crab rangoons were quite larger and really tasted as I hoped they would. I received steamed dumplings instead of fried but was in no way disappointed; I usually get fried because my experience with steamed dumplings has been that they fall apart too easily but that was not an issue here at all. The flavor of the dumplings and dipping sauce was at the heart of my craving and I was so happy with what I got. The wonton soup is delicious and the orange chicken is exactly as I like it to be. The biggest "wow" factor for me was the portion size. With the exception of the orange chicken and the rice that came with it that were average in size, the soup and crab rangoons and dumplings are so much larger than I might have hoped. Even the count of the appetizers for the price charged is pretty incredible (8 dumplings & 10 crab rangoons). If you get those cravings for Chinese food like I do, then I would certainly recommend you check out - literally and figuratively - the offerings from Golden China! read more

Been eating here for 10 years, and thought i had a pretty good business relationship with this place. They misunderstood me on my order charged me over 100 dollars in food. Have sworn to never eat at this place again. If you're calling an order please have them read the order back to you slowly. Also the lack of compromise left a very sour taste in my mouth. Just telling the story to whoever will listen. read more

Food is so/so but they do make great wonton soup which is what I always order as far as the food it's a big no for me

1st off, I love the convenience of ordering online via Yelp. Sometimes I just don't want to talk to anyone and just want to put in my order and keep it moving with my anti-social self. This allows me to do so. And plus, the first time I ordered from this location the people are just not very... personable/friendly. I'm not asking you to inquire about my personal life, but sheesh. At least act like you WANT my money! This is why my rating is at 4 stars out of pure convenience. Otherwise, it'll be at 3. Day/Time: Saturday with snow flurries at 1:30pm Type of service:delivery (duh). Delivered within 30 minutes of so. Food: typical of any other carry-out joint. Ordered the general tso's, chicken fried rice, wonton soup, chicken wings and fries. Everything is average. Nothing great. Nothing horrible. However, the wings are pretty skimpy (see associated pics). Other than that, it's okay. Summary: decent typical carry-out food. I would prefer to go to New Century on Hamilton & Queens Chapel but they don't deliver. Therefore, if I'm in need of delivery carry-out food, I'll continue ordering from here. read more

I order from here fairly regularly, and it's what I expect from takeout Chinese food (in a good way). I'm a vegetarian so I'm not eating a wide range of items from here, but I love the way they do their tofu. I've eaten some sad tofu in my day, but they do it right: it's nice and crispy! I'm also a fan of their mixed vegetable dishes. The portion sizes are large so they last me through meals over a few days. Overall it's inexpensive, and the lunch deals are especially cheap! read more

Seemed they were in a slump for a while some years back, but have definitely improved! Love their double cooked pork, chow mein and oh those Gen. Tso's chicken wings with fried rice! Everything is very good, and their delivery people are always on time and super friendly. read more

I always go here during lunch hours to make sure that I get the lunch specials. I almost always get the General Tso Chicken when I am in the area. They are really good with there portions. And as an Asian I have to order more rice because I could meet have enough of it for the large amount of chicken they give me. I love this place but giving it five stars wouldn't be true to what this place is. The front desk lady(he older one) is a little Uninviting and she seems like she is in a bad mood most of the time I am there. read more

If I could give this establishment 0 stars, I would. Ordering delivery here was the worst customer service I experienced in my 26 years of life. I ordered $30 worth of food off a menu they claim to be "out of date" and never received the full order. More importantly, the delivery man failed to give me a receipt so there was no way for me to fact check what I ordered vs what I paid for. I called to explain that a part of my order was missing but was met with yelling from a woman who works here (SUPER disrespectful!) and she said we had to pay an extra $10 for a plate and beverage that we ALREADY paid for the first time around. She reluctantly agreed to return to my home to deliver the order but failed to bring us a receipt and claimed we tried to take the food THAT WE PAID FOR. Long story short, I ended up going to the establishment myself, brought the remaining food back and walked out without any food or compensation for the ordeal I went through. I have never met such rude and disrespectful people in my life and I was a manager at Starbucks for 3 years! Do yourself a favor and choose any other Chinese restaurant in the area that's not this one! (the food isn't even that good for the prices PLUS you can't trust their menu because they add random up-charges) read more

Order ahead or get delivery. Everything is made to order, which is at least nice. They were churning out delivery orders even we rolled in. Took about 20 min to get our food. Service could be a little more friendly. We got a shrimp pan fried noodles (#48), crunchy crispy chicken (#20 chef specialty) with fried rice, crabmeat rangoon, and got two shrimp rolls for free (spent over $20 and pick up). All the dishes were tasty but not "out of this world". Crunchy crispy chicken was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't at all. Serving size was great---enough that dinner can become lunch, too. Overall, an average Chinese takeout place. read more

Food is so/so but they do make great wonton soup which is what I always order as far as the food goes they can do better

Worst vegetable egg foo young ever. Swimming in tasteless lumpy gravy with only frozen peas carrots and onions inside. No broccoli no mushrooms no shoots no sprouts, nothing. Hot and sour soup was ok but not great. read more

Nothing outstanding but if you are craving some good Chinese carry out, this place meets your needs. Good sized portions, the kung pao chicken is good, so is the pork fried rice and my ahi pork. Although instead of pancakes for the my ahi, you receive egg roll wrappers to wrap up the vegetables and plum sauce. Odd but it works. Less happy with crispy beef, it just wasn't crispy so we stopped getting it. read more

The food is just gross. I ordered the hot honey wings, shrimp egg roll and chicken corn soup. The wings barely came with any sauce but I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing because the sauce tasted weird. The shrimp egg roll barely had any shrimp and the chicken corn soup is just a nasty as it sounds. Don't waste your money. read more

spare ribs and fried rice were okay. big Jumbo Cheeseburger and French Fries. fries were good. burger was NOT it was soggy and came with no cheese. no flavor in the burger. was scared to eat it. what would i order again? egg roll and maybe the spare ribs. probably not getting the spare ribs again tho. idk. i don't think i'll order again. like y no cheese on the burger. i threw it away. read more

I Really did like, GC.. In the past Service, Food, Convenient... but recently they have.. Disappointed Me the food has been "EXTREMELY SLOPPY" cold & on two previous occasions the chicken wings that use to be a favorite on mine, we're old & over cooked. I don't know what the problem is whether it is changed management or WTH.. But I am disappointed & had to request My money back twice. Definitely not up to Standard as it use to be. read more

I ordered chicken chow mein and there was hardly any chicken...lots of rice and cabbage.... that's it.....

I placed my order online and thought it was for another restaurant. Had to use GPS to find it. It is a hole in the wall in the middle of a residential area. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. West Hyattsville and Mt. Rainier haven't had much luck with Chinese places. I also like the portion sizes. The house fried rice didn't have much in the way of chicken shrimp or pork but it was still tasty. read more

Quick delivery time, pretty large portions, but overall a rather blah experience. The crab rangoon were good (I swear, I say this in every Chinese take-out review) but the veggie dumplings were cold in the middle. And green. I'm still not sure why they were green--do they add food coloring to their dough to make sure everyone knows that they are veggie? They didn't seem to have turned that color because of the veggies inside (and there are mushrooms inside, and I don't like mushrooms). The General Tso's chicken was all right. I got maybe three pieces of undercooked broccoli with it. I would try them again, but I'd stay away from the dumplings. read more

Really a 3.5 because I noticed recently that they have been stepping up their game. I've been going here for years and their food was just okay. But lately some of their food items are of better quality and entrees are tasting better. At least the ones I've ordered. Maybe because of the influx of new businesses in this area led them to make a change. I'll also mention that I've always received good service here. read more

Golden China Restaurant - Triple Delight Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

If you are looking for convenient, not-so-expensive Americanized Chinese food, this is the place. If you are looking for really good Chinese food, look elsewhere. Even still, I'll come back to this place. It's far far better than the place next to CVS in that little shopping mall I last reviewed. But I must say that the Hot and Sour soup is great and so is the General Tso's Chicken. Decent portions too. The place is pretty busy so that means the locals like it. read more

One of many, many Chinese restaurants in the area. I'm lucky I remember the name of this one, since they're all some variation on Hearty's Golden China Asian Panda Delight, or something like that. Nice because it's a very short walk from my girlfriend's house. Not-so-nice because their "Chef Specialties" are basically the absolute basic stuff you get when you think Americanized Chinese food: orange chicken, kung pao chicken, etc. And they close at an absurdly early time every single night. Also, after 18 some odd times of going there, I expect (perhaps mistakenly) that you maybe might know me by now. It gets a little frustrating saying no mustard, no plastic bag, YES fortune cookie. Otherwise, I love you, and all the greasiness you provide. read more

General Tso Chicken is what I ordered as most of the reviews mention it...it was pretty good but the egg roll I got with the combo tasted kind of bitter...my Fav. "Curry" out is still Kenny's Sub Shop on GA. ave. read more

I eat here a lot, but only because it's a 30 second walk from my house. The food isn't bad, but it's basically just like any other Chinese restaurant. They have pretty decent egg rolls and spring rolls (compared to places around here) and the garlic sauce they use is really good even though it tastes nothing like garlic sauce. read more

This is exactly what I wanted. I wanted fast American Chinese food, and I didn't want to leave the house to get it. I wanted someone to bring my food to me because I am a lazy bum. I didn't even want to talk to a human being so I ordered and paid online. The delivery guy came in about 29 or 30 minutes after I submitted my order. He was very polite and spoke Mandarin to me. What up, brother from another mother. My food came nice and hot. The sesame chicken was good, crispy and not swimming in sauce like some places. The broccoli in garlic sauce tasted good, but it was definitely swimming in the sauce. Honestly I didn't even really want the broccoli. I only ordered it to pretend that I was healthy when I really just wanted chicken with a side of chicken with a side of fried chicken. It was tasty broccoli though. Well cooked but not mushy. I'm not 200 years old, I can still chew vegetables. This was my first time ordering, and they made all my dreams come true. I dream of sesame chicken. read more

I hope this place goes out of business. We ordered delivery they got the order wrong and refused to fix it...and the food wasn't even good.

I just moved here and live within walking distance of this place. Tried it on one of those nights where I couldn't be bothered to cook, and just wanted to eat on the couch and watch Netflix. I'm the type that always orders the same thing from every Chinese take-out place (general tso's chicken or bean curd and hot and sour soup). Boring, I realize, but it is a good basis for comparing different places. The food was what you would expect for inexpensive Americanized Chinese take-out, although maybe even better than average in comparison to some of the other places in the area, which was a pleasant surprise since its in kind of a random location and would probably only be known to locals. You can order online (and pay when you pick up so you don't have to input a credit card) if you don't want to be bothered to pick up the phone or to speak to an actual person. The first time I ordered from there, I was surprised to get a free drink. Then I saw on their website that you can choose between a free drink or a free egg roll. They do deliver, but I live so absurdly close that I've never had them deliver. Usually I order and my boyfriend will pick up on his way home from work. The one time that I did pick up, the lady at the counter chatted with me while I waited for my order to be bagged up, and she was very friendly. Another customer walked in to pick up his order, and was obviously a regular. He asked how her kids were, whether she will visit China anytime soon, etc. It just seemed like a nice, local place, so consequently I'm on my way to being a regular there as well. read more

Not the worst Chinese food around. A bit better than the other Chinese takeouts around here, but nothing to write home about. It's passable, and will feed you in a pinch. It's pretty much what you would expect for cheap Chinese takeout. They have been in the neighborhood for a long time though. In the time that I've been going there the little kids that used to run around the storefront have grown into teenagers and actually work there now. There is something to be said for a long standing institution in the community that serves a needed niche. I'm happy to support this local business. read more

Price and portions can't be beat. My husband and I generally don't like Chinese food -- or at least the Americanized version of it (too sweet, salty, saucy). This place is different. I think it's that they don't overseason, though my husband wishes they did a better job of making it spicy. (We just add sriracha at home.) I love how they cook their tofu (great texture) and broccoli (still firm, good color, little bit tender). We also love to get the fried veggie dumplings. There was one time when the tofu was a bit more on the soggy side, but given how often we eat there and get homeruns, we didn't mind giving them a pass for the one "off day." Enjoy! read more

I order from this place an hour past and my food never arrived. I call the store to cancel my order and get my money back and all I got was the manager yelling at me. Very bad place and very rude. I wouldn't recommended to no body!!!!!! And I never got my money back. read more
