Not fantastic. Not bad. Okay. I'd go again if I had the craving. Service was good. Ambience was nice and casual.

Service is extremely slow the food was excellent the food came in a timely manner but the waitress was very unorganized to say the least we will not be coming back instead we will take out business to canton restaurant down the street read more

Service could be better. But the food here is always delicious . Every-time I visit Idaho I make a spot here first

This place is awesome!!! Like stepping back in time , very clean , Service was impeccable and the food was wonderful!!! Their Hot sake is the Best... read more

Not worth a penny from your wallet. Chicken noodles: broth tastes like water, noodles are flavorless, chicken is processed and inedible. Took almost an hour to get our food, service is horrible. Stir-fry veggies are disappointing as it was frozen and completely unseasoned. Even rice is bad. Hope this saves you an unfortunate experience. read more

Ordered Breaded Veal Cutlets And Fries. The Breaded Veal was tough and dry and little gravy . I went out of my way too. Lesson learned. Lost this customer. read more

This place was absolutely terrible. It was all a gooey mess. The chicken? If even that was completely breaded and barely any chicken. Yet still got charged 1.25$ more for "white chicken." It was so disappointing because I had been wanting to go here for so long. With the "daily special" it was supposed to pay 13.25 per plate. Between my husband and I, we paid $52. Make it make sense. Nothing was good, it was flavorless and mushy. 10/10 do not recommend. read more

Not good. Poor service and the food is not fresh. Chicken noodles were served with cubed, processed chicken. Inedible, sorry.

I know it's Christmas Eve but waiting 3 hours for take is bullshit I don't know what their schedule was like or how many people are working tonight You are running a business you should know that tonight is going to be your busiest night of the year POOR PLANING read more

I love golden palace! It has been my all time favorite since I was a kid! Best place in Caldwell for Chinese food- my all time favorite pork fried rice and all white meat chicken- mmmmmm!!0 read more

The Mandarin and/or Orange chicken (all white meat) with fried rice is a solid choice.

Over the years we have eaten here a lot. Yes it is age dated. But it is clean the staff is friendly and the food was very good. Their lunch special is a better value than any fast food place in the area. Do yourself a favor and don't pass this place up if you are in the area. read more

Food here is a sad excuse for Chinese. Just go to Panda Express. It's so flavorless. The orange chicken was just chicken tenders with sweet chili sauce on the side. The lo mein was not any better. It's hard to get to downtown, just save your time and go to a Panda... read more

Golden Palace - Fried rice, lo mein, orange chicken, beef & broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

if i could give this place a zero star review, i would. horrible, nasty, evil, old, food that gave us all agonizing abdominal pain followed with severe nausea and liquid shit pouring and dumping out of my rectum. i now have hemorrhoids and a prolapsed colon. the service was so bad and wait time was insane for a restaurant with no customers. The food we received was basically just deep fried, no food, just deep fried batter and breading. 0/10 would not recommend unless you're suicidal read more

My parents love this place! The food is very good and the service is great. Always pretty packed so clearly not a secret

Best food ever! If you want really good Chinese food this is the place. We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. read more

I just love the Shrimp and pea pods!!! It was ordered and picked up! So very delicious!!! The cashier was super nice!!! You also can't go wrong with read more

Wow, I haven't had Chinese food this bad in decades! First (and last) time visit. The wife ordered some pot stickers which had the usual appearance, but once sampled were very bland. Heavy on the dough with a pulverized meat (pork?) mixture in the center that was not seasoned at all. It doesn't help that I don't like salty soy sauce I guess. But neither of us tried a second one. We offered one to another in our party and she didn't even finish hers. The wife also ordered the Special Fried Rice with shrimp. Between the canned mushroom smell and the canned popcorn shrimp smell, and the bland starchy taste it was totally unappetizing, even repulsive. A huge plate of (dark) fried rice with only two bites taken out (mine and hers) was not taken to-go. She asked for a to-go box right away just to contain the odor but never got one. I ordered a spicy(?) entree, the Curry Chicken. It had no spice at all and no curry taste for that matter; I thought someone had substituted chow mein for my order, at least that is what it tasted like. The real insult came when the waitress came back and cleared the table. Noticing the huge pile of uneaten fried rice she then proceeded to ask my wife where she was from (we have lived all over the country). The implication was clear that she did not know what good Chinese food should taste like. Then she asked the rest of the group where they were from. Instead of offering to comp the meal we got a social scolding about how ignorant we were. We had a large, diverse group (8) and service was not particularly attentive; once the order was delivered the server moved on until it was time to pay. There were other large groups coming in as well on a Sunday. Decor was old and dirty. Even the menu covers looked worn but I found the date of 2014 in a lower corner. However the prices inside were 2024 prices; it appears that they unwound the spiral binding to replace the menu pages inside. Overall, I think this restaurant has been in business so long at this location that the management has become complacent. But they seem to have enough locals who like the restaurant that they remain profitable, and the location is excellent now with the rebirth of downtown Caldwell. Only one person out of the eight was satisfied with their food; seven different entrees, one duplicate. read more

Not sure where the 4 &5 star reviews are coming from. Husband and I went there, got overcharged for basically plates of huge chunks of peppers, onions and greasy mushrooms. We each ordered the $15 choose your own food dinners. 1 pepsi, 1 coffee and added ONE side to dinner and it was $49???? Before the tip! Wasn't good. I don't want to even give one star. Never going back. read more

Slow service. Fried rice had no taste. Noodles were different and had crunchy stuff in them which I am not used to in the type of noodles I ordered. Ambiance good. read more

Great food great price very eclectic place. We love it. Every time we go we have a very good time.

THE WORST FOOD IN MY 76 YEARS...Ordered $43.00 worth of egg foo young, BBQ pork fried rice, rice lo mein, shrimp lo mein take out...ALL covered in a tan, thick "gloppy" sauce that had no actual flavor, and the texture was of liquid library paste, and all dishes looked remarkably the same. Seriously, we (4 adults) just threw 90% in the trash. I have been in the wine industry for 40 year...been around lots of food...this was the worst experience any of us have ever had, and we 1) wonder how this place stays in business?, 2) wonder how this hot mess got any positive reviews, and 3) how this place remains in business. This is not a "hit piece"...this is exactly what we experienced. We could not stomach this thick, tasteless, artery clogging excuse for food of any kind. From this experience...the positive reviews are a sham. Wish there was a zero star. read more

We ordered Chinese food to go Chicken chow mein, pork fried rice, chicken fried rice, and cashew chicken. Everything had minimal taste to almost tasteless. The Wong tongs were completely over fried. The people working there were very nice but I would not recommend eating Chinese food here. It was not good at all. Disappointed in so many ways. read more

We've been looking for a great chinese restaurant for years! Literally stumbled into the Golden Palace when the wait for another restaurant nearby had a long wait. It's so good!!!! Don't skip the pineapple pork and egg rolls, and make sure you ask for the chili sauce! read more

Where to even begin? I wish it were possible to give zero stars, alas that is not possible. I also wish we had read the yelp reviews before deciding to dine here. At first, we were very excited. There were fish, a nice casual ambiance, all seemingly perfection for the night out. The lovely evening came to an end when our server, bless her heart, took 30 minutes to get our drink order (keep in mind, we were one of four tables filled). After receiving our drinks, it took maybe 20ish minutes for her to come back to take our food order. We ordered the shrimp chow mein and the beef chow mein. It took far longer than necessary for our food to arrive to the table, and the sight before us was abysmal. Our chow mein was chow lame! It was a pile of mostly celery, bamboo shoots, and meat chunks brought together in one culinary tragedy by brownish-grey gelatinous sauce. Not to mention, we knew the chow mein noodles were pan fried, but we were appalled when we saw brown crunchy sticks under the sludge. We were hesitant, but didn't want to judge before tasting. Then we tasted it. It was dreadful. We couldn't help but laugh at how absurd the whole situation was. We scarfed down three bites before giving up. I had ordered chicken and rice soup on the side, and despite how offensive it looked, I was hoping it would be better than the disaster in front of us. It was not. It was chicken logs and undercooked rice in lukewarm water! How appetizing! At this point, we decided to cut our loses and asked for the check and two boxes, in an effort to be polite about the food. Our server, surprise surprise, took a very long amount of time to bring us our check, and after bringing us the wrong receipt before finding ours, didn't tell us we had to bring it up to the front (we came in from the side entrance) so we sat for maybe fifteen minutes waiting for someone to take the check before I waved her down and asked. She then told us to go to the front and brought us the forgotten boxes. We paid our check and after an encounter with a creepy customer, hurried about to get on our way. Over all, it was a monstrous experience and we would not recommend going here read more

Golden Palace - Supposedly beef chow mein and chicken and rice soup. - Chinese Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Ok, this place has me cracking up... this is like a time capsule. If you are older, (35+) this is like walking back in time. You can tell the place has been there for a long time. Not that it is dirty or anything, just the decor. They really haven't changed anything in decades, and that is the charm. The food was 100% old school American-Chinese food. None of the fancy funky fusion stuff, but good old sweet and sour chicken with the neon pink sauce... it was crazy sitting there, eating in a place that reminded me of my first experience as a kid in an old Chinese restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I don't see this is a bad thing. I took my mom and my son, the total bill for main courses and appetizers was about $35. We all were chuckling the whole time. I will go back... read more

Definitely not the Chinese food you're hoping for. General's chicken is 75% celery/onions, 20% bamboo shoots, broccoli, carrots, 5% chicken. And good luck with the service. read more

This is the BEST Chinese food in the valley. Vivian the waitress is awesome always making sure you have everything you want and need. Highly recommend the restaurant. read more

Omg! How do they stay in business? The food was awful! This dish was supposed to be Chicken Chow Mein. What I saw was a gooey mess .Where are the wonderful noodles and Fresh chicken? read more

Golden Palace - Chicken Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

We enjoyed our meal and everyone got enough to eat. Food tasted comparable to other local Chinese restaurants. Process of checking out took some time as people who were picking up an order were coming in at the same time as those who were paying their bill. During busier times it would be nice to have two cashier lines. Overall it was a good experience. read more

I called 10 times trying to get through while being driven to Golden Palace restaurant as we were 20 minutes away. We were hoping to call in the order for carryout. We couldn't get the phone to ring, the message kept saying "Sorry, the line is busy right now.". We were discussing perhaps they were super busy and maybe we should plan to call in an order elsewhere. When we arrived the place had like 27-28 tables in front and there were only FIVE booths occupied. I peeked into the conference room thinking maybe they have a huge party in there, nope! There is a table in the conference room that they place the carryout orders on, there were three orders sitting there for pickup. In the conference room there was a table of 10 people seated, other than that crickets in this place. I placed my order and now have a 20 minute wait for carry out. One couple read the menu and walked out. I have now been here 10 minutes and the phone has only rang twice. Oh, and so far I have counted 4 waitresses including a hostess. Hmm. My conclusion is, the workers must be unsupervised by the people who own and care about making a profit around here. This is really unfortunate because the food usually is very good. When I waitressed I hustled customers in as the more I served the more money I made. read more

Food poisoning for all of us after eating the family style meal on 04/11/2021. Still sick the next day!

Been eating here for 20+ years and it's still great every time we go or grab take-out. The low ratings and negative reviews are perplexing to me because we've always had friendly service, and the rice, noodles, meats, fried items and veggies are always good tasting with the right textures, freshness and quantities. Maybe I'm missing something but my family and I have never had a sub-par experience with this place. read more

Amazing food you just have to know what to get try the Pork fried rice mandarin chicken all white meat and a egg roll

The food is so good and the owner is very sweet. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for good Chinese takeout.

Potstickers were very tasty, just not hot enough... My General Ching's Chicken was very good, the boyfriend has to send his shrimp chow mein back as he asked for 'pan fried noodles' and they came soggy - be sure you are specific if you want them crispy! read more

Golden Palace - General Ching's Chicken - stir fry, not fried! Very good ;) - Chinese Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Just not good ... our dinner was below mediocre to say the least. Very disappointing

Best in the Valley. Fresh and always filling. I order pickup and always ready in 15 minutes. Grubhub has the menu wrong so call to order.

Food was soggy and just not good. We tried and won't be back. For the price of the meal, it should have been so much better!!
