Golden Mountain Restaurant is my go to for Chinese food takeout and has been for years. No matter how far I move away, it's worth the drive. It has been a part of Willoughby Hills community for years and has been handed down generations. It only keeps getting better. The restaurant is decorated with Chinese motifs such as gorgeous carved red and gold woodwork. It is spacious, has a lot of seating including booths and tables. Nowadays most diners take their food to go and the restaurant is mostly empty. Now let me brag about the food. The food tastes very authentic and more flavorful than other restaurants. It's not even comparable to any other local restaurants in quality. You can't go wrong with any dishes. There's a lot of combos and standalone dishes. Today I ordered roast pork fried rice and BBQ spare ribs. These are some of my favorites! Both were perfect as always, and the servings were huge! It's really a great value! Spare ribs have a lot of meat and are just amazing! Employees at the restaurant are very friendly, will strike up a conversation with you especially if you are a regular. You can place an order online, via phone call, or food delivery (Uber). It may take a little while but is absolutely worth the wait! read more

First time here, order family dinner for 3. Soup was very good, appetizers came next, egg rolls, shrimp and bbq ribs all were delicious. Service is very fast and friendly. Atmosphere was Asian themed but could use a refresher. All in all we will come back. read more

food used to be good. not anymore . Salty allot of msg. Food was not fresh. I will never eat again

Haven't been there in about two years and the food was good, did not disappoint. It was to go.

Several years ago I left a bad review & decided not to eat there again. However, we gave it another chance. We ordered takeout hot & sour soup, chicken egg foo young & a combo meal with chicken chow mein. The woman who answered the phone was very pleasant. Our food was delicious! I will definitely do takeout or dine in again soon. read more

We haven't eaten here in a few years for no particular reason, we just haven't. We went for lunch. The menus has been downsized and looks more manageable for the back of the house. We were able to turn 2 main courses into combo platters. The wonton soup and the egg rolls were excellent. Who doesn't love crab rangoon! We shared the entrees and each one was delicious. We're glad we went back to The Golden Mountain. Lunch again next week! JB. read more

Haven't been to this place in well over 10 years. Arrived to pick carry out and should have just left based on the cleanliness. Rotten carrot was in our soup. War Sue Gai breading was gummy and tasteless. The sweet and sour chicken has nothing other than deep fried bites of chicken (no veggies) and a thick bright pink sauce. We threw it all out and considered the expense a donation. read more

Golden Mountain Restaurant - Rotten carrot in the soup - Chinese Near Me - Willoughby Hills, Ohio

The is my me and my wife's favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. I'm very picky on pork fried rice, and this place nails it. I have tried a ton of different Chinese restaurants and this is the best and most consistent. Pick up is always easy with minimal wait times. read more

very large porations and excellent food!! we were pleasantly impressed with the service and would recommend to stop and enjoy for yourself!!

Solid lunch spot the egg roll were awesome and sweet and sour sauce homemade was almost as good as Dragon Gate.

Only good thing about it was there was parking right out front, This place is not what it was several years ago and we will not be coming back. read more

I ordered the Hunan Beef via DoorDash with a couple egg rolls. Attention to detail was amazing, ordered it mild and it wasn't too spicy but still had the zing from the sauce. Egg rolls were delicious. And you guys included a soda for free that I didn't order! Very satisfied with my order and will continue to order from here. read more

The service was very poor. I had to go to the desk to pick up the menu myself. The curry chicken was full of onions and only a few slices of chicken. The Szechuan chicken tasted sweet instead of hot, was a completely different style. The Hunan shrimp tasted terribly. The portion all of the entrees were very small. The whole restaurant was very poorly ventilated and full of greasy /oily smell deeply stained all our clothes. read more

I grew up coming here regularly and have since moved further away. Was in the area and decided to give it a try. It used to be fantastic but was by far the worst chinese food I've had in a long time. Shrimp chips stale, rubbery dumplings in soup. The potstickers used to be thin, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Now they're fried and not at all what they used to be. Quality of food was questionable at best. The restaurant is half closed down with dimly lit lights, no music. It was a far cry from its former past. Saddened to say we will not be back. read more

Great food. Have ordered takeout from here often. Food is ready and hot. Family dinners are plentiful for big appetites.

This was my childhood favorite. So many good memories of my grand parents taking us here...but not sure I'll ever go back. Food was stale, chicken (war sue gai) was rubbery, and worst of all, there were flies all over our booth. I told the server, and she seemed surprised, however, not overly concerned. She moved our table, but still very concerning that there were 5 or more flies at my table. So disgusting and disappointing. No plans to return!! read more

Our favorite Cantonese restaurant. We've been regulars for years. Best spring rolls on town. For dining in we have the Chicken and Broccoli or the chicken and pea pods. Beef and broccoli is another favorite. The vegetables are fresh and just stir fried to doneness but not limp. Great takeout service the food is ready when promised and hot, tea included. The younger generation have kept up the tradition and the family recipes. read more

Best Cantonese food in the area!!! A little pricy BUT you get what you pay for and it's worth it!!!

I really want to give Golden Mountain a 3 star review but have really struggled with the food here. The service is good, restaurant is clean, open, and inviting but the food really does struggle. My 3-5 staples that I base Chinese restaurant reviews on, as you would see with Hunan East, are 1) Egg Drop, 2) Hot and Sour, 3) Lo Mein, 4) Crab Rangoons, 5) Egg Rolls or a standard dish such as Beef w/ Broccoli. I have never gotten consistency here. You might be asking why do I base my review on those items, well its simple. Think of the percentage of all customers going into a Chinese restaurant that are going to order one or more of the items above......pretty high huh. Now if those items do not come out of the kitchen hot, consistently delicious, and spot on to expectations, what would that say about their other food, specifically their dinner plates? Ex. I have a place in Grand Rapids Michigan that I would drive an hour just for their egg rolls, they are that good. Those alone made me go back again and again. Am I being too anal?? Food review is below. Their egg drop CAN be good; once it was like jello, once was cold with no salt added, and the other it was perfect. Their lo mein has really skinny noodles, almost like rice noodles that just stick together and have no flavor (comparing to the standard lo mein noodle). Where are the ingredients? Crab rangoons have little stuffing, can be really oily, and just can't compare to Hunan East. As for the other items listed, its just no up to snuff in my eyes. But they do have a following and it seems to busy on most days, but I think that's only because the patrons there haven't tried my favorite on Richmond Rd. read more

The stir fry is hot and crisp tender.perfectly cooked. The service is fast and friendly. We like cushioned seats and they all were, both booths and tables. Atmosphere is nice. The lighting is art deco meets asian. read more

Food is good. People are nice. Family owned. Three things that you look for when dining out. read more

The food is really good. It's served quick, and polite. It smells and tasted fresh. Restaurant clean and peek in kitchen, it's clean as well. Have I had better? Yes sure I have. In this price range however it's excellent. read more

Golden Mountain Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Willoughby Hills, Ohio

My favorite old school Cantonese style restaurant in the city of Cleveland. I have been a customer for over 30 years. The family is very friendly the food is fresh and the service is fast. The menu and flavors are true to form and never disappoints. This is a must eat place every time I come home to Cleveland. I crave their wonton soup when I am away from home for very long! read more

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Last night we got dinner for two and really didn't like anything that was served. The wonton soup was lukewarm and tasted stale. The eggrolls were not hot either and nothing to brag about. The main course consisted of sweet-and-sour chicken, Moo goo gai-pan, and fried rice. As soon as the food came out my husband and I both thought something smelled bad. No surprise nothing tasted good! Nothing was fresh and I honestly think the food was old. Beside the fact the food was bad, the restaurant looked dirty. Will never go back again! read more

Food was just ok nothing to brag about. General Soa chicken the meat was very tender but very lil sauce and the vegetables were raw. Egg Rolls were a plus crispy. The fried rice tasted scorched I ended up tossing it out. 24$ was not worth it. Oh well read more

Love this old school Chinese place. Best pork subgum. The service is good. The food is delish and plentiful! Highly reccommend!

My favorite Chinese place around - and I've been to many. I've dined in and ordered take out and I have never been disappointed. The portion sizes are fantastic and the prices reasonable. My favorites are the egg rolls, governors chicken, and the wonton soup! read more

This was once our favorite spot for take out. After today we will not return. Potstickers we're freezer burned, egg rolls were stale and the chicken Lo mein was a pile of glued together noodles - literally they poured out of the container in one piece the shape of the container. Upon calling to let them know, looking for partial refund we were told no because we threw the lo mein away and couldn't bring it in. Thankfully the pork fried rice and beef with broccoli were good. Sadly our favorite spot has been taken over by a new owner with poor food standards and poor customer service skills. read more

I have enjoyed Golden Mountain for years, until the last couple of years. Every time I have gone for dinner, it has not been good. Yesterday was awful. When I called in the order the phone was answered by what was clearly a child. The food was not hot, and didn't taste very good. My husband's first comment when he got home was, with all the people out of work, there was a 10 year old answering the phone and taking the money. I was very disappointed in the food, I have been waiting to get Golden Mountain since the quarantine started. Never again. read more

I ate lunch there today and almost threw up. The smell upon entering reminded me of rotten garbage mixed with Chinese food. I got my food and the chicken was mediocre at best. The fried rice made me literally dry heave at the table. It tasted like burnt rotting spoiled rice. Then I tried the egg roll and it tasted like the rice. I paid and left with all my food on the table. Keep looking! read more

Not my favorite place to dine. More of Taco Bell for Americans. Food is so so. Nothing authentic at all.

Not the friendliest people, definite reflection their food. Only went cause it's close to my house. Egg roll was inedible, taste like fried rotten cabbage. Never going back, willing to drive further for better food for less. read more

Golden Mountain is the single best chinese food place i have ever eaten from. Friendly, fast people providing you with real 5 star food. Could not be better. read more

Great food! Best wonton soup hands. The orange chicken combo is the way to go! Highly recommend this place!!!!

I used to live near Golden Mountain 15 years ago and I've been a fan ever since. I now live semi-close by, but every time I want Chinese food, I drive to GM, even though there are 7-8 other Chinese restaurants closer to my home. Best Eggrolls in Cleveland, without exception. REAL hot mustard (not the packet crap). An order of Pork Fried rice has probably a pound of pork. Sometimes they have to use saran wrap over the container because it is so full they cant close it. Pon Pon Chicken is my favorite entree (kind of a spicy, honey, teriyaki thing going on). Wonton soup is on point. Prices are fantastic considering the quantity and quality, especially compared to other Chines restaurants. read more

I have been going to this restaraunt for over 26 years. The food has been far above that of any other family style chineese eatery around the area. Consistancy has been above average. You dont have the same cooks working 7 days a week which they happen to be open. So you may expect that there may be a slight difference in the same dish with a different cook. After all it's not hamburgers and fries. We have taken many couples here and they all love this place. The Prices are reasonable and food portions are exceptional. The food here does not struggle at all as someone else writes. If you really want to know food that struggles go to a chineese buffet, or a chineese mostly carryout only. To Jeff T. Next time try the Governors Chicken it is the most popular and always consistant dish among family and friends. Best Ever! read more

Best American Chinese Food ever. I've lived in a few places over the years and I still can't find a Chinese Restaurant that matches the taste of Golden Mountain. My family and I have been coming here for years. Every time I visit home I demand that we have at least one Golden Mountain dinner. The food is much better quality than what you find at a Peking Chef or Panda Express. The prices are also very affordable. read more

This place was extremely disappointing. First of all, it was cold both in temperature and the way we were treated. Stood around a good 10 minutes before we were acknowledged and then the service was extremely slow. I love Chinese but this was just your average American Chinese. I suggest you go elsewhere. read more

The fastest service, best tasting chinese food in the area! The dining room is a nice place to enjoy your meal also. Wished they delivered.
