    S2. Orange Flavor Chicken
    Betty R.

    Great portion, the chicken is crispy and saucy. It is a little chewy, but I do enjoy the sweet orangey sauce. But the star is the chow fun. Such a good portion and so saucy and well cooked. Definitely worth a try! I would recommend getting the lunch specials when available cause you get an eggroll and soup for less of a price. I have also been to the restaurant and they are always clean. There is usually only one person doing everything front of the house so the service is a little slow, but not like anything getting upset about.

    Always delicious.... even though they took away my favorite item, sesame chicken. Staff is friendly and the place is clean.

    Now this place is an amazing find! Been going to Cerritos College for sports and never saw this place. It was busy at 1030 AM. Great menu. Large portions. Friendly service. Food is flavorful and my son and I crushed it. The only reason it is not five stars is because of the canned sodas. We will definitely go back

    60.00 dollars worth? Hell nah!

    They are extremely pricey for the little they give you. I ordered 4 things that came in a meal prep container 60 dollars. I get more food with in-n-out. I will never come here again. You shouldn't either

    Chicken Pho

    Quick service and generous portions! I ordered the chicken noodle pho and some orange chicken and both were delicious. The pho had great flavor and was packed with plenty of chicken. The orange chicken was super saucy (in a good way!) and the broccoli added a nice, fresh touch! Definitely coming back!

    I normally come here for the curry chicken to go. Today . I decided to bring my family wife and two kids 12 and nine years old for dine in. I ordered the chicken and broccoli. The chicken was undercooked. Broccoli was good. Rice was good order two brisket bowls it was just OK service was terrible. They brought us Our food never came back to check on us! Lousy service. If you go here get it to go.

    Chicken dumplings

    Good place to have some great Pho. Only reason I gave the 4 stars is because you don't have table service. Even if you eat there you have to pay as you order. So basically tip if you want and service might be ok. The pho was very tasty, chicken dumplings were good also. The house noodles have a little of everything which makes it convenient.

    I was watching YouTube of someone eating Chinese food and I instantly started craving it. Found Golden Pho on Yelp and decided to place a delivery order. My driver stopped twice before he got to me, but my food was surprisingly still hot. The bbq pork fried rice was full of flavor, fresh and delicious. The cream cheese wontons were crunchy and added with the sweet & sour, it was delightful! I had leftovers which I ate the next day and it was still delicious. I'll definitely order here again

    First time at this restaurant and placed a to go order…read more Food was very good, even after travel. The service was fast and great. The guy who helped was pleasant and had me in and out without hassle. The restaurant is clean and spacious for the area. I'll definitely be back to eat at the restaurant next time.

    Updated Review: Disappointing Experience…read more I'm updating my previous review because our most recent visit unfortunately changed my overall impression of this place. I've always liked this spot as a late-night eatery, and the food itself is still good, the broth is flavorful, and the noodles and other dishes have generally been enjoyable. That's why I was especially disappointed by how our most recent visit was handled. We arrived around midnight and put our name on the waitlist. There were a few parties ahead of us, and around 12:30 AM, the host came out and explained that at that point, seating was no longer guaranteed, despite the restaurant being scheduled to close at 1:30 AM. We decided to continue waiting and were eventually seated around 1:00 AM. We ordered immediately, and our food came out shortly afterward around 1:15 AM. At exactly 1:30 AM, while we were still finishing our meal, our server came over and said that they were closing and asked if we wanted boxes for the remaining food. Technically, it was phrased as a reminder and an offer to provide boxes for our food, but the implication was very clear: we needed to leave. That was what made the situation particularly uncomfortable. We completely understood that the restaurant was closing and had no intention of staying past closing to socialize or linger. We were literally still eating the food we had just ordered around 1:15 AM. We had only been seated for about 30 minutes, ordered immediately, and were already nearly finished when the server approached us. We had also already paid our bill. The timing just left an awkward feeling. If the restaurant closes at 1:30 AM and customers who are seated close to closing are expected to be completely finished and out by that time, I think that should be communicated before seating them. It would have allowed us to decide whether waiting until 1:00 AM was worthwhile. I also understand that employees need to finish their shifts and close the restaurant on time, and I respect that. My issue is more with the overall communication and the way the situation was handled. Being seated at 1:00 AM, ordering immediately, receiving our food around 1:15 AM, and then essentially being told at 1:30 AM that it was time to leave made the experience feel rushed and uncomfortable. This isn't a review based on the food, the food is still good. It's about the overall experience and customer service during this particular visit. Unfortunately, what should have been a nice late night meal ended with an awkward feeling that stayed with us after we left. Because of this experience, I can no longer give this location the five stars I previously gave it. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback, because I do think the situation could have been handled much more smoothly and with clearer communication upfront.

The place seems to really show its age with the floors really dirty and the wood floors are showing a lot of wear and tear. We got there for an early dinner and the place was empty. The lady seemed tired or just not in a friendly mood. The food was still reasonably priced. Much better than the Tofu Chain's and food as good as I remember. I went with the short rib Tofu soup and it came with two nice size beef short ribs and the meat peeling off the bone. Ban Chan was good but could not eat a few of them because they had bean sprouts in it. Nice to see Chodang doing strong. Hopefully the next time back won't be a 3-4 year gap.

The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently great. The service is usually very good, depending on the day and time you visit. I often come late at night, and there's a woman who occasionally works those shifts whose customer service is outstanding. She's always friendly, attentive, and makes every visit enjoyable. Unfortunately, my experience has been different with one of the night employees, a tall gentleman. On multiple occasions, he has come across as rude and often stays in the back without acknowledging customers, even when you're clearly trying to get his attention for assistance. It can make the experience feel unwelcoming. Overall, I still highly recommend this place because the food is excellent. I just hope management can address the inconsistency in customer service so every visit is as enjoyable as the food.

    What I Ordered: Juicy Pork Dumplings ($11.99)…read morePan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp dumplings ($12.99) Wonton in Spicy Sauce ($11.50) Chicken Fried Rice ($12.99) Dry fried string bean ($13.50) Orange Chicken ($14.99) Kung Pao Shrimp ($18.99) Dan dan noodle ($13.99) Beef roll pancake ($12.99) Spring rolls ($3.50) Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba Food: The Pan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp Dumplings. I absolutely loved the crispy bottom layer because it added such a satisfying crunch to every bite. The inside stayed really juicy and flavorful with a good balance of pork, shrimp, and chives. The Juicy Pork Dumplings had soup inside, which was rich and savory. I've had soup dumplings before where the wrapper breaks apart too easily, but these held together nicely while still staying soft and delicate. The Wonton in Spicy Sauce was my personal favorite from the entire meal. The spicy sauce flavor was savory with a little sweetness. I'm typically not good with spice, so this is at a spice level that should be very manageable for everyone. I absolutely loved the spicy sauce, so I started putting it on everything. Definitely put the sauce on the chicken fried rice! The Chicken Fried Rice was a great dish to pair with everything else that we ordered. With several orders of entrees, a solid rice dish is a must order for any Chinese meal. The rice had a nice savory flavor that I enjoyed, and there was a generous amount of chicken mixed throughout the dish. I even asked the waitress if they do anything special with the fried rice because it tasted better than many other restaurants. It felt comforting and balanced compared to some of the heavier dishes. The Dry Fried String Beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crispness while still being tender. The garlic and seasoning gave them so much flavor that it honestly didn't even feel like I was eating vegetables. I do have to note that these were very much on the salty side, so if you don't like foods that are too salty, I would choose a different dish. The Orange Chicken was really crispy and juicy, which I appreciated because soggy orange chicken is always disappointing to me. The sauce had a nice citrus flavor while still keeping that classic sweet savory taste. The Spring Rolls were simple with vegetable filling on the inside with a crispy outside. I would try a different appetizer next time. The Kung Pao Shrimp was packed with flavor and had a really satisfying combination of textures. The shrimp were tender, and the peanuts added a great crunch to the dish. I thought the sauce had a really nice balance of spice and savoriness without becoming overwhelming. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Beef Roll Pancake. The pancake itself was nice and chewy throughout each bite. The sliced beef with green onions and sauce all wrapped together made every bite really flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba. I really liked that the jasmine tea flavor was noticeable instead of being overly sweet like some milk teas can be. The boba had a soft chewy texture, and the drink itself paired perfectly with the spicy and savory dishes from the meal. Staff: All of the staff members were quick and friendly Ambiance: Indoor seating only. A good amount of parking in the parking lot that is shared with other shops in the plaza.

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the overall experience was better than I anticipated. The seasoning was a little strong, and some dishes had a fairly familiar, standardized taste. Nothing was bad, and everything was prepared well, but I do feel a little disappointed when the authentic flavors of traditional Chinese food become less noticeable. There were four of us, and we ordered about eight or nine of their most popular dishes. My parents really enjoyed the food. I have worked in China before, so I may be a little more sensitive and particular when it comes to Chinese food. Overall, the restaurant has good reviews, the prices are reasonable, and it was a pretty good dining experience.
