I ordered the orange chicken and the happy family entrees. They were delivered to my hotel within an hour, piping hot, with the food filled to the brim of the containers. The food was absolutely delicious as well. The delivery driver was courteous as well. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you so much. My money was very well spent. $50.00 bucks could feed 4 people . Super good deal. read more

Great local Chinese restaurant that is mainly a takeout. The egg foo young is delicious and the Saint Louis fried rice is one of the best in the area. Great service and nothing spectacular for a takeout place read more

Ok for the price it's pretty decent. I mean obviously not the best quality but I can't really complain. It seems as it is a take out only place and kinda felt like eating one of those British a Chinese meals. (I've only seen the videos) Taste is prob more like 2.5-3/5 Service was friendly and it's cheap. read more

Golden Pot - Family Meal B - Chinese Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I ordered the St. Louis Chicken Fried Rice, plain. Since moving to Texas, I've been trying to find this type of rice, as I'm originally from the Midwest. I was excited to see on TikTok that this restaurant offers it. The rice was really good and met my expectations. It was made to order and fresh. However, when I walked into the restaurant, I didn't feel welcome. The lady at the front counter/register didn't greet me. It wasn't busy at all--there was only one customer waiting and another had just finished paying for their order. There was no warm, welcoming feeling and no real customer service. After I paid, she didn't thank me. When I asked for more soy sauce, she seemed annoyed and only gave me two more packs. While the rice was really good, I probably wouldn't return based on the poor service. read more

Golden Pot - St. Louis Plain Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - McKinney, Texas

We tried this place only because we are on the hunt for great Chinese food. This is tough for Texas. But this place was fairly good. My wife is a pretty simple, basic eater. She has very bland tastes. So she ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken. She liked it. I did too. I had Szechuan Beef. Loved it. It was a little bit spicy but I still loved it. I haven't had anything this close to Chinese food since we left CA over 12 years ago now. The only negative I have is that they are very far from where we live. But I will make the trek when the hunger strikes. Their food is quality, fresh and in abundance. Just the way it should be. Keep up the good work. WE will be back! read more

I didn't sit in so I can't speak much on the ambience but the food was amazing. We ordered online and I specified that I wanted my meal spicy and they delivered that plus gave me extra spice on the side. On arrival, there was no extra wait time and our food was ready which was great. The food itself was great, the portion was great and I couldn't even finish it in one sitting and the lo mein was about $10-15 (depending on protein). I will definitely be back! read more

Only place that kinda has St.Louis fried rice. They did better than any other place. Kind of expensive but worth it.

I had the house special fried rice. It was the worst fried rice I've ever had. Rice wasn't cooked thru. It had peas in it. Which mean it was frozen vegetables bag. No bean sprouts. Had 3 whole shrimp. Barely any pork. Shredded chicken. Which ok. More chicken if that's what it was. No egg? What's up with that? For $13 it was small. Do better. I should have took a . But it wasn't worth it. Sad in the area it's in. That's what served. read more

The food was overall good. My favorite was the steamed dumplings (8 pcs). They tasted fresh. Singapore Mei Fun (rice noodles) was flavorful and had good portions. I ordered scallops as an add-on. The noodles were a little spicy. My least favorite was the twice-cooked pork. It's a lot different than what I have seen on Google. The pork I got tasted as boring as what you would've got from those cheap Chinese buffet places. read more

I'm sorry. I was so looking forward to this being a great tasting Chinese food restaurant. The crab Rangoon has no kind of imitation crab in it and the filler is like a sauce not anything of any type of thickness that's inside. The spring rolls had some weird taste. I almost thought it was cinnamon, but I don't think it's cinnamon. However, St. Louis rice is something that is great. That was the saver for the meal, but you have to pay three dollars for that. I got the general TSO chicken and that was not the greatest either and that's one of my favorite dishes to get. It looks like so far in the area, the best place seems to be New York Chinese restaurant. read more

Beef Broccoli, Broccoli w/ Beef, Broccoli Beef. All the same entree with pretty much the same veggies. What makes this dish is the brown gravy. You get the real flavor of what Beef Broccoli should really taste like. The Broccoli. Never should your Broccoli not be crisp. If not crisp then at least crunchy. So why did I give Golden Pot only 3 stars? I'm going to go with inconsistencies. My first bite of the beef was toughish. First bite of broccoli great crisp. Gravy? Did not taste homemade but if it was it definitely needed a bump up of spices. Something special. Some of the beef was tender. Some of the broccoli was soft. That's a no can do. I might as well add the Crab Rangoons. If that is what they really were. They were sweet. Realizing there was nary a crab, imitation or not I wonder how they got the cream cheese that sweet. I will end this with St. Louis House Special Fried Rice. Chicken, Pork & Shrimp. Husband loved it. This is why the three stars. The saving grace. read more

Golden Pot - Beef Broccoli with added water chestnuts - Chinese Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I like this restaurant . It is reliable and tasty and the staff (I believe a family?) are always working so hard. We also get these free and delicious fried cheesy things if we spend over a certain amount. They are also open slightly later than other restaurants (which all seem to close at 8 or 9 since COVID), which is nice. read more

Outstanding food wings are the bomb , fast service reasonable prices? Great takeout food. The only negative is the inside is not very pleasing and he wouldn't want to sit and eat dinner there but other than that it's wonderful for takeout. read more

Freshest cooked and tasty Asian cuisine along with fine service and reasonable prices per portions

After living in St Louis for 15 years I MISS St Louis fried rice. This is the 2nd place I've found it in Dallas and I will be back just for that. The General Tsos chicken was not the best but the STL rice made me give it 5 stars. read more

Golden Pot - a plate of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I don't like giving bad reviews, but we ordered food for the first time last night from Golden Pot and the chicken chow mein was all gummy noodles and practically no vegetables or chicken and the wonton wrapper in the won ton soup was so thick it was inedible. We did enjoy the sweet and sour pork and the vegetables, but the white rice was mushy and flavorless. We had to throw most of it away. read more

Fast & so delicious. Only complaint is the spring rolls were mushy inside. A bit disappointing but the honey chicken, white rice and fried rice were amazing. read more

They so funny. You can't come in this place only to the hallway. With the new walls they put up to keep people out. And they really need to clean up lol. Glad that food was not for me. I definitely will not be getting nothing there read more

The best wonton soup! I have a hard time finding a Chinese place that delivers and tastes good. This is that place. Their portion sizes are what I would consider large. I usually get two or three meals out of the broccoli beef. The garlic beef is also a favorite. Don't pass this one up. read more

Ordered from DoorDash so I can't comment on restaurant or staff only the food. Which overall I found to be standard or okay. Egg drop soup was good and what you would expect but the fried wantons that come with it were stale and tasted like oil, so those got trashed. Cream cheese wantons and sweet and sour sauce also okay and the standard for what you would expect. Ordered beef fried rice and paid extra for extra beef and an extra fried egg but that did not seem to be what I received. So while that was a bummer the fried rice was also okay. Now to the over priced orange chicken. This was another item that was trashed. Chicken tasted old and dry. There was way too much breading and the sauce had ample time to sit in the chicken and so the breading was coming off. Just gross. Honestly I think I would just stick to soup and appetizers if I did order from here again. read more

This is our go-to Chinese takeout place in Mckinney. Their food is so good! Jalapeño chicken is my favorite. The portions are also very generous! read more

This is my very first time here and I've lived in the city for over 15 years. It's very good and the prices are reasonable. I had the Hunan chicken with fried rice special for dinner. I will definitely be back. read more

Do not make these people think for themselves, they do not know how to make a good shrimp and beef combo broccoli. The taste was despicable they also gave me steamed rice when I asked for fried rice. read more

Golden Pot - Steamed Shrimp Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Golden Pot doesn't miss! Everything tastes great. My favorite Asian food restaurant in the area. The only thing I miss are the pork dumplings. We used to get steamed and fried each time we'd order - they were THE best dumplings in the area without question. Now that they've switched to chicken, it's not the same :( please bring back pork dumplings, even if once a week or seasonally! The STL style fried rice is so good, sesame chicken is my husband's favorite, and the egg rolls are fabulous! Dumpling sauce is so so good. Wonton soup is also tasty. Give this place a try! read more

Ordered beef shrimp w broccoli, and it's terrible. They don't know how to make the combo. Taste good. They used a funky sauce. They also gave me steamed rice I stead of fried rice on my order when I clearly stated I wanted fried rice. Won't be ordering again. Goodys Chinese restaurant around the corner is way better read more

Golden Pot - Steamed Shrimp Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Love the special fried rice/ St. Louis style... Love the Beef lo mein..as I always have to make sure I order extra, because it's so good the second day. The beef is juicy and tender and the noodles are as well. Their General Tso is cooked perfectly, and not crunchy and hard like most places around here. The crab rangoon, is the way crab Rangoon should taste. It's so hard to find good Chinese food in this part of Texas, and so far... the Golden Pot has been the best fast food/ take out restaurant that I have found. I drive 35 miles just to come here...that should tell you how awful the Chinese food is where I live. It's worth the drive to come here and as we order and come here it a lot. read more

For a hole-in-the-wall restaurant their food is really good! It was also cool to find "St. Louis Style fried rice" being born and raised there! I never knew we had a "style" of fried rice but it made me feel like I was back home! Only 4/5 stars because of the wait time but it's still worth it! read more

Food is terrible now, service is horrible and delivery is awful! Use a credit card to pay and expect it to be sold on the dark web.

Delicious food. Always hat and fresh. Lo mein is by far the best I've had in DFW. Egg foo young is also delicious

Really enjoyed this place! Had some dumplings and spring rolls delivered and they were delicious! Very tasty and warm. Also just noticed they gave me a couple extra dumplings, thank you:) read more

We decided to give Golden Pot two more tries. This update is about our second visit after a poor review. We called our order in and picking it up is the same walled out experience. Our order consisted of Kung Pao Chicken, Vegetable Egg Foo Young and Bourbon Chicken with the sauce on the side. Got it home and everything was very good. The order was correct and we even got extra fortune cookies. read more

Very reliable neighborhood Chinese takeout place. Food is tasty and order is quick. Sometimes the phone doesn't get through or no answer, but they are probably just taking someone else's order so call again in a few minutes. The dinner specials with egg rolls are good values. read more

We had sweet and spur chicken delivered with lo mein we got so much food and tasted great only complaint we were at work and didnt get any silverware read more

We went here for the first time last night for a takeout birthday dinner. We were amazed at how good the food was and how nice the staff is! Everything was so fresh and still very hot when we got it home. We did the honey chicken, broccoli beef, pepper beef, mushroom and beef, crab wontons, fried rice, and chow mien. I would recommend all of it, especially the honey chicken! The portions were huge and you could tell the meat and vegetables were very fresh. Plus we have enough leftovers for another meal or two and it tastes just as good the next day. My kids loved it too and they are hard to please. Check them out, you won't be sorry!! read more

Just amazing! We come here a lot and today we tried their lunch specials. We dined in, The food was fresh and hot tasted delicious, hot and sour soup needed a little flavor but not bad at all for the price these are amazing big portions. If your trying to eat good Chinese food for an affordable price this place will make you very happy! Flavor is really good, we had orange chicken, vegetable fried rice, General tso, hot and sour soup and the egg rolls so far and it's always good Give this place a try you won't regret it read more

Low-quality food Today was the third time I have ordered from this establishment. I don't really care to write a review until the third time because I don't think it is fair to judge until I have given them several chances to be Bad - Good or somewhere in between. My first visit was below average, the second visit was not much better, but today the food was poor. Twice they have overcooked the noodles and made them a bit too soft, almost mushy. The orange chicken which is not that hard to make has been below average all three times. The breading separates from the chicken and the chicken is hard. The egg rolls are about average with very little flavor. The beef broccoli is less than average with low-quality beef. The sweet and sour chicken is actually decent and was a 7/10 so not a lot of complaints there but they have plenty of room for improvement. The fried rice has no flavor and is made like it is for a diabetic. I will not ever be going back to this place and I would suggest that you choose one of the other places in the area. Last, the service is a 1/10. They don't say hi, they don't say bye, and they definitely don't say Thank you. read more

If you are looking for some real good Chinese food in town I 100% recommend. Very sweet customer service. One of my favorite spots hands down. read more

Food is decent but their delivery service needs A LOT of help. After an hour of putting in my order, kid who answered the phone says my order is on the way. Waited another 30 min, called back, and now says it will take another 20 min because they are really busy tonight. Understand that but I'm getting different stories each time I call. This is all after he already said my food is on the way. Keep in my mind I live 2 min down the street and didn't have a car to go pick it up myself. I don't understand how it takes an hour and 30 min (and counting) to get my food delivered. I wouldn't be so frustrated if I didn't spend $70 for dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday. read more

Looked up this place on Yelp and drove down on a Thursday night to do takeaway... Picked up the Chicken Curry and Sweet & Sour Chicken... The food was ready within 10 minutes, quantity was good for the price tag but the taste was way off... The Chicken Curry had a peculiar taste, coming from some ingredient they had... Sweet and Sour Chicken was a disappointment as well... We struggled to finish it off, wouldn't go back since we find Panda Express or a Pei Wei much better though their price tag is a bit higher... read more

burThey were better a few years ago but they have gotten cheap. For example if your order hunan beef or wny other dish with vegetables they fill it with the cheapest ones they have like zucchini i hate zucchini.. HUNAN BEEF is not supposed to have zucchini. Yet i order it its filled with it and not a single waterchestnut or baby corn like its suppose to have.. 2 mushrooms maybe not even straw mushrooms like its suppose to be.. They have good sauce but in the end they jusy rip you off. They think we dont know better. We do.. its theirs to take if you give it to them. I say stick with the bbq and burgers read more
