I'm always in the market for a nice Chinese restaurant. So when I was running some errands last week and drove by Golden Place it was like, Hmm I just had to give them a try asap. Upon entering I was immediately impressed with the cleanliness and lovely oriental decor. After perusing their menu, which was loaded with many delicious choices for app and main entrées I decided on some Egg Rolls, and some spicy Kung Pao Shrimp. Egg Rolls were crispy on the outside and warm and tender on the inside and their dipping sauces were delicious. Sweet and oh so spicy (which I love). The Kung Pao shrimp was amazing. Fresh veggies, perfect seasoning and the shrimp were excellent. And I can't remember the last time my food came out this hot. . (as in temperature). Very refreshing. Flavorful tea and the standard fortune cookie made for a very pleasant and tasty experience. read more

Had lunch and really enjoyed it. Service with a smile and well as timely. Beef and broccoli was spot on as was the soup.

Very delicious food server was so friendly very pretty environment. I will definitely go back.

For 15 years, I have visited this place. The owners have since retired and the new family are have taken over with still the same flavor, warm smiles and crazy accents. Love this place and is my favorite Chinese restaurant. I often try to compare other places when traveling and yearning for Asian persuasion but always come short of the Golden Dragon in Cumming, Ga. Worthy of a visit when in the area for sure. Remember to support your local grub persuasions so we all don't starve... read more

They are under new ownership and the food is much better. I really like their hot n sour soup and they have many other good dishes. The service is excellent and the food gets out quickly. The restaurant is beautiful inside. Nice place to meet friends for lunch. read more

I wanted to get chow mein noodles (specifically noodles) got a whole plate of vegetables instead with these hard as rock in a little baggie that i mistook it for chips on First glance terrible 16$ for vegetables and 5 mini shrimps read more

Family has enjoyed this restaurant since it opened. New ownership transition was great and food is always hot for us. Great egg rolls.

Been in this area since 96, and Golden Palace opened a few years later when the shopping center was created. Been a customer on and off since it opened..gosh must have been 98-ish??. Noticed quality going down in later years and stopped going around '22 after bad eat in experiance. Went back today Dec 2025 for 1st time in a while. Ate in. My usual pork EggFooYoung was very good, wifes shrimp fried rice and all the sides we ordered were also excellent and hot. Service was good and friendly. Last we went in 22, the guy serving almost seemed annoyed we were there..lol. I didn't know they had new owners until I googled while eating. New owners and staff are doing great job. read more

Some people have been raving about this place. Food was fair at best. Food was tepid in temperature. But the big miss was no sauces.... No soy, no mustard, no duck sauces. And no fortune cookie. I think this is the first time in my very long life that I did not receive fortune cookies when ordering chinese good. read more

I lived in the area for 23 years. Tired of our usual go to's, we decided that we shop right next store at Kroger, we finally gave them a try. What a surprise. Great food. Great service. Super friendly. Don't wait 20 years like I did. read more

Great Chinese restaurant in Cuming, and so clean even soy sauce bottle on the table, and the price is so good, around $12, including snacks, soup and main meal, and owner is so clean people and so nice and so pretty, I had great meal with my lunch today, I will come back often. read more

Let me start off by saying I haven't e at Chinese food in some time. We really liked the soup, San Shan was delicious. The rest of the dInner was average, pork ribs and rest of the met was on the chewy side, not great flavors, but not bad overall. We ate in, although it looks like they have a consistent take-away following. The service was attentive and polite. Parking is easy as it's located inside a shopping plaza. Atmosphere has the hint of more upscale experience as you walk in and take in the space, traditional decor, linen napkins etc., but as you are there you start to notice the wear on things,the plates are worn, a little chipped at times, placemats were a piece of paper, white copy paper etc. could use a little updating. All in all. We'll stick with a take-away soup when the hankering hits. read more

Nothing to see here. Awful. Food is blah and service is worse. Apparently, getting the order correct is asking too much. We won't be coming back. read more

Fresh delicious soup, my husband picked up for me. It was perfect on my sick day, I will order more tonight! The soup was amazing and the fried won ton strips were equally delicious and quality. read more

Golden Palace - Delicious fresh Egg Drop Soup - Chinese Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

BEWARE!!! If you like high prices, poor service and food that is terrible...this place is for you. Their Cashew Chicken had more onions and peppers in it than chicken, and most of that was dark meat. Called the front desk woman part owner who does the take-out orders...she speaks broken English and clearly could care less about customer satisfaction. Terrible - threw it out. read more

Yes, so bad!!! . Please do not waist your time or money coming here. Immediately the man who sat us was short in his questions and very rude. Did not want to spend any time at the table. Never asked if we wanted anything to drink. Then another family came in and sat beside us. He was just as negative towards them and even took the menu away from the man's son because he was taping on it. The man looked at us and at the same time we all said "rude". I got the shrimp and broccoli and I couldn't even eat the shrimp because it was like rubber. WARNING to stay away! read more

Stay away from here. From the unhappy woman answering the phone to the tasteless food. Had to ask for sauces. Fried rice appears to be out of a box. No vegetables. Egg rolls overcooked and tasteless. read more

The Beef Fried Rice and Vegetable Fried Rice is the best I have ever had. So glad my sister went to a party where they served food from here. She couldn't stop talking and raving about how amazing it was and I have confirmed it is delicious. Will be order more soon. read more

The food is terrific and the service is so great. Tonight we had the Moo Shu Pork, but I like so many other dishes. I think they recently changed ownership. read more

If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. They are a sorry excuse for a restaurant. I've given them two opportunities to prove me wrong. Once my wife and I were seated, we were never asked for our drink order. Once we did, they only brought out one tea cup for two people. I had to ask another server for an additional cup. Finally after we ordered and waited, the hostess brought out one entree without bringing our soup first. They took the meal back, and a server was bringing out soup and another server said it was another tables soup for a party that had come in later. It's evident they do not know what they're doing and are not making an attempt to be any better. read more

The new management has made a huge positive impact. Our out of town guests enjoyed their food as well. The food was fresh, tasty and our order was fulfilled correctly...we will definitely be back! read more

The food is okay, but they like to update the tip you give them. I gave them a 23% tip and apparently that wasn't good enough for them and they updated the tip and charged my card more then it was supposed to be. read more

Absolutely poor service got my order wrong twice then tried to overcharge me then left out part of my order. I will never come there again. It seems like it's under new management and it is very poor and the quality of the food has gone downhill. read more

If y'all appreciate reviews.. listen to these below! This place should not be able to serve edible food. The management is awful, servers don't get the tips and the food is horrible + expensive as all get out! Just save yourself the money and the stomach ache and go anywhere but here. read more

Wow this place deserves negative stars. The service was horrible! Server told me to go to Kroger to get my own vinegar and told me I was trouble for asking. I told them my scallops were raw (slimy and translucent). They argued that it was cooked and I didn't know what I was talking about. To top it off, they charged me another 2.50 for a refill on sweet tea. I seriously don't think I've ever experience such rude service. Avoid!! read more

The worst food ever !!! Nothing was fresh must have made it last week and just reheated it . Never go back !

I ate here twice. Tastes good. Price isn't bad. Will eat here again. Spoiled brat food snobs can shut up. read more

Good food, great price. Had a to go order that was ready fast and it was correct! Bravo

Three ribs to an order, and Peking duck with four legs and minimal other meat! Go elsewhere!

I went to get 3 lunch specials. I was totally disappointed. I got pork with vegetables and they gave me 4 tiny pieces of meat. I got the happy family... the shrimp was like mashed potatoes (rotten), the 1 scallop I got was rotten too. The chicken and beef tasted old and spoilt too. The general Tso's chicken was a bunch of itty bitty pieces of chicken covered in batter. I even had to throw all the fried rice from the 3 meals back in a pan and re-fry it to make it edible. Don't come here, the food is totally disgusting and if I could give it a 0 stars, I would. Waste of $30!!! read more

This restaurant has really great food and good customer service! They have always gotten our order right!!

I wish this place had good food but it doesn't. I was surprised, for a restaurant to have been open for so long, it's food was very disappointing. The sweet and sour pork was not edible. The pork nuggets were hard and dry like they had freezer burn. The sea food were tough and rubbery. The sweet and sour sauce tasted watered down and old. The whole meal was lacking freshness and flavor. read more

I've been eating here and bringing home food for my family for almost 20 years. People seem upset that the waiter and the lady who take orders aren't more chatty and friendly. They are the owners of the restaurant and speak Chinese. Are you fluent in Mandarin? Feel free to chat them up. This isn't a chain restaurant where your teenage kids work. So if they don't stand around and talk to you it isn't because they are being rude. Another thing about this restaurant is its business is probably 90% take out. You will never find more than 1 or 2 groups of people eating inside. Usually you will find none. But just sit by the front door for 20 minutes and watch the dozens of people come in and out of there picking up food orders. The lady at the front desk (or man if she's off that day) are busy the entire time answering the phone and taking orders. So even if they were fluent in English they wouldn't have time to talk to you more than 30 seconds. There are no waitresses or waiters here. So if you sit down at a table don't expect the "waiter" to pay a lot of attention to you. He or she is busy at the front taking orders. Like I said this is mostly a take out place. If you WANT to eat inside be patient with THEM. If you want a Coke or tea ask for it otherwise they'll assume you just want water. If you're high maintenance and demand lots of attention and special orders and stuff on the side and extra to go cups and happy meals for the kids, sorry, you are at the wrong place. This is not Chucky Cheese. But if you are nice to the owners and have been going there for years they WILL talk to you and will ask about your kids and ask how you are doing, they might even remember your name. Try being nice to them for a change. It makes a huge difference when you are nice to people, especially when they are doing all the work to prepare your meal and serve you. As for the food. It's Chinese-American food. If you want more Americanish Chinese food go to Panda Express, that's the McDonalds of Chinese food. They run you through there like an assembly line. You want Authentic Chinese food, well, go to Chamblee or Doraville. You can get 100% authentic Chinese food there, if you can read Mandarin. But if you just want Chinese-American food then this is the place. There are about a half dozen things I get their all the time. There are a lot of things I've tried that I wasn't impressed with. Everyone's taste is different. If you try something and don't like it, don't order it again. Don't get angry and write a nasty review. Try something else. The Mongolian Beef is good. I don't like onions so I order without. You might find the onions overwhelming, so do like I do and order without onions. The Egg Drop soup is good. The Hong Kong Noodle Soup is good. The Sesame Chicken is good. The General Tso's Chicken is good. There Po Po Platter is a good variety. Their fried rice is good, especially the Shrimp Fried Rice and Chicken Fried Rice. Once you find a handful of favorites you don't need to look at the rest of the menu unless you're bored. Is the quality always 100%? Once in a while the Mongolian Beef might not have quite as strong a flavor. Maybe they used less sauce. Depends on the chef I suppose. But is your steak cooked to perfection every time you go to Outback or is it sometimes a little dry? Of course not. Nobody's perfect. But most of the time their food is perfectly satisfactory and worth getting. Again, just be patient and nice to the owners. Being rude to the owners isn't going to get you anywhere. read more

Will not eat here anymore. My wife and I order at least 2x a week and made a conscious effort to give them more business during this pandemic. No more!! Yesterday we order the same order as we do WEEKLY but got home to find the order was wrong. My wife returns there to get the order corrected and is told we have to pay a minor (and petty ) difference because the RUDE person taking the order was certain he heard the order correct. Well, if I had not have left a generous tip (on a take out order) well exceeding the order I'd understand. Nope, these people showed they don't really value the business we gave them regularly - so no more. My wife likes a local competitor better anyway. So much for trying to support your local restaurants read more

I think they changed ownership. Not friendly at all. When we complained about the awful KungPao Chicken they told us to go away! So we will. No one finished their meals. Terrible food and equally terrible service....I would give zero stars if I could. read more

I wanted to like it, I truly did. I love Asian dishes and the proximity of this restaurant to the UPS store that I have to go to daily (literally 2 doors down) made me want to love it so that I could get take-out often for lunch. I tried, but no dice, sorry! The chicken was riddled with gristle and fat and that is a no-no for me since your prep crew should be trimming the proteins before they are ever cooked. It literally takes a matter of seconds to do so. Most of all...dun dun dun...the infamous HAIR IN THE FOOD! Just a blatant lack of food safety control. Sorry, I reserve the right to remove the chance of a third strike and I am playing that card here. read more

Portions are great and prices is cheap. Could work on flavoring but the food was more than good to be picky especially when given a lot. Never sat down to eat, only ordered for take out but I love that everything is extremely hot and fresh as soon as I come home. Lady in the front is extremely nice and answers questions I have about the food. She knows Im a soup lover. They have much more to go orders than people dining in. read more

Poor service and high prices. Nothing included with meal. Wanted to charge for to go cup.
