Just picked up food for the family since new management took over, not realizing there was new management and it is not the same. I will not be ordering from here again and sad to see it changed. read more

Another great dinner! Broccoli chicken with fried rice and pork lo mein were on the menu. Fantastic egg roll! Quick and easy to pick up.

I ordered a Postmates delivery for soft noodles, 2 egg rolls and an order of sesame chicken. I was really craving some classic Chinese cuisine and was excited to get my food this evening. However, I was expecting more quality than I got. The sauce on the sesame chicken was thick and syrupy, and the noodles had no flavor and were much too soft and rubbery. The egg rolls were dry and crusty and lacked that classic egg roll flavor that I was craving. Definitely won't be ordering from here when I'm craving good Chinese. Disappointed on nearly all fronts. The chicken itself was nicely cooked but the thick, sweet sauce really turned it off for me. Not a satisfying experience at all. Most of it went into the trash in the end. read more

Love this place! We order from here often. Great prices and wonderful food. The people are super nice too. I highly recommend it!

So we ordered food from this location this evening. The food arrives and the Shrimp in the Lo Main smelled like it was almost spoiled. We called the establishment and requested to have the meal replaced. I even said I would give back the food they originally delivered since it is not edible. About 20 mins later the driver arrives and I handed him the lo main and he gave me the replacement at that point the driver asked for payment!! I said that this was a replacement he didn't seem to understand and at that point he left with the smelly lo main and did not leave the replacement meal. I wouldn't recommend this establishment nor would I order from again. read more

Golden Rice Express is one of our absolute favorites. I have been eating there for about 12 years or more. They are reasonably priced. Most rice bowls are less than $5. The food is delicious! ! My current favorite is the curry chicken rice bowl - it's spicy and I like it that way. My husband loves #816, which is shrimp, chicken, & beef on fried noodles with a delicious sauce. Their egg rolls are the best and so is their teriyaki chicken rice bowl. We always ask for chopsticks : ). It adds to the occasion of it all. I only have one negative and that is the cleanliness of their bathroom. I can personally overlook that detail knowing how good their food is, how friendly their service is and affordable their prices; but to be fair to those that might visit their bathroom, it probably won't meet your approval. read more

Golden Rice Express has become my favorite go-to Chinese restaurant! I was referred here a couple of years ago, and have been going ever since. It's a small place great for grabbing a quick bite or ordering take out and the food is always ready within 10 - 15 minutes. They also do delivery, but I've never experienced their delivery service since I live close by and am not lazy. Portions are large, food is really good and authentic, and the prices are cheap. They also get 5 stars from me for their excellent service - the guy who is always there (who I think is the owner) is super nice. I'd recommend trying their chicken with garlic sauce or sesame chicken. read more

I do have to say this place is great. You get so much for your money. It's so delicious. All the food is fresh and and prepared to your liking. I also have to say there's know MSG in there food. My favorite dish there is the beef and broccoli. As we all know the dollar doesn't go very far anymore. At this place you get enough for today and tomorrow. That's how great it is. Try it today. read more

Ordered food for delivery. The driver came and tried to add more money for an out of area delivery. Their website clearly states we are in their delivery area. I scratched it out and made it the correct price. When we sat down to eat our food I bit into a dumpling and the meat was raw. We were missing food items. The food was terrible I was disgusted. I called back and the "manager" called us liars. She was extremely rude. I asked for a full refund and offered to take their food back. They sent a driver to pick it up and when he got here he took the food and called us fat liars. This was the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant. If you want terrible service and possible food poisoning from raw or undercooked food this is your place. read more

The food is great and cheap. Cheaper than panda. You can't go wrong with the rice bowls, they're around $5. I always pick up so I dont know about deliveries. I recommend it. read more

I've gone to this place several times for their 3 combination plate. I always get the seseame chicken with the fried rice and add $2.00 worth of shrimp. It's the best I've had since I've been here in Phoenix. I've also order shrimp fried rice and love it. Great place, decor not that great but very good food. Will continue going there. read more

Inexpensive and reliable Chinese take-out. Most dishes are around $7 and the most expensive dish is $9. It's in strip mall right next to Fry's Grocery so the atmosphere is very basic, but clean. The Hong Kong style pan fried noodles were authentic--crispy noodles and the sauce was neither too heavy nor too sweet. The lemon chicken and the lemon sauce tends to be too sweet and gooey and most Chinese restaurants, but this was not the case here. W. likes the mince beef fried rice here as well. read more

The pork egg foo young was fantastic and the service is quick and friendly a must try again.

I ordered using the Yelp Eat24 app. My order confirmation for pick up from the location was 6:36pm. I arrived at the restraunt at 6:46pm for them to tell me they did not start the order yet. This is beyond ridiculous and inconvenient. I even went to the grocery store in same plaza to kill time. This is not good customer service and I definitely won't return. read more

Love the fresh steamed broccoli and chicken at this place! The food is always piping hot and neatly packed up when I pick up my to-go order. Food is always ready fast. The owners are sweethearts too :) read more

Ordered chicken chow fun for lunch today. Flavor was good but a little lacking as well as a bit on the greasy side. Came out to about $8 and the serving size could probably feed two. read more

My wife and i have ordered here twice, first time i wasnt hungry and i didnt order anything but as soon as my wife answered the door i smelt the food and it was amazing. They have an extremely tasty sauce they put on the general tzo that is sooo good. The texture of the chicken is a little chewy and mushy but its not bad at all. Their serving sizes are really large so we actually shared the dinner entree and the rice and made two little dishes out of it. Next time we ordered there the food took an 1 hr 1/2 to arrive, and we had to call 2 times to check where our food was. The owner then said he was going to bring it personally. We live 5 min up the road so we had no idea what happened. I think it was a thursday night. But regardless things do happen the food was good i got the house chicken special and it was really good. Flavors were nice but a little mushy texture. A bit pricey also read more

The food here is amazing now! The old owners sold the restaurant to new owners, who have changed the quality of the food by tenfold. The restaurant is more of a Chinese/Grill now. I ordered the eel over bowl for 9.59 and it was one of the best things I've tasted(really recommend it). 5 star for the reasonable price and amount of you you get along with friendly service. read more

Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Been coming to this place for 20+ years and the food and service has always been exceptional. Highly recommend the teriyaki chicken rice bowl! Amazing!! read more

For being basic as it gets. Great value for the money, excellent service, and the food was great. My only complaint is there's no soda fountain. Boo... read more

Not good. I remember my parents complaining about the chicken tasting rubbery here and that food did not taste good.. I still ended up trying this place anyways and my friend and I both got sick from it.. read more

I've been going to Golden Rice for quite some time. My Mom introduced me while she worked nearby back when I was in high school. She used to order me the sweet and sour chicken noodle bowl. Freaking amazing. How do they get their chicken fried like that? I eventually started ordering other things. Their egg foo yong is the best I've tasted. You can't really go wrong with anything on their menu. Their fried rices are really good. read more

This is the second time I have eaten here. It is just ok. It accomplished what I set out to do...eat fast, eat cheap, eat Chinese, and counter-service. Mission accomplished. I order the 2 item lunch combo of Chicken w/ veggies, S/S Chicken and white rice. There was no soda fountain, only canned soda. I opted for water. I was give a 6 oz styrofoam coffee cup filled with ice and water poured from a plastic bottle. The total was like $5 or $6 bucks plus I tipped a $1. Bathroom is ok...light switch was dirty and seat was left up. Food came out ok time wise; piping hot and this place had NO A/C. So I lost weight sweating while eating lunch. ugh. The food tasted ok. Not great; not the worst (like buffet). I like the S/S sauce, so that was a plus. I got a HUGE mound of white rice, which I could not eat all of, and all but one piece of broccoli could not be chewed though. A knife might have been a nice to have, but none was offered. I would probably go back in WINTER for my next visit. read more

The food is awful! And very confusing. My husband's order came with a tortilla? We were very confused about the tortilla lol my orange chicken came with the sauce separately, which I thought was neat at first but the chicken was very hard and ended up tasting like rubber. The low mein did not taste like low mein. The only thing I liked was the white rice. read more

We did take out. I ordered from their on-line menu, and said when I 'd be there to pick it up. It was hot, ready, and exactly what we ordered, and it tasted as expected. For the amount of food we got, we were able to make 5 meals, which means that the $25.00 price was a fair bargain. read more

Have to say how disappointed I was with my whole experience. Went in on a Sunday night with my 2 teenage girls, ( who eat everything), ordered 3 meals that each included... 2 main entrees, rice & lo mein, an egg Roll and crab puffs. We added an order of pot stickers (dumplings). The cost was $34.oo. Much more than Panda Express. Strike 1 was that We waited 45 mins to get our order and the place was empty. Strike 2 was how dirty the place was. Strike 3 was how horrible the food was. Honestly, it was so bad that not even the rice was edible. The teriyaki chicken was disgusting. I think it is a prepackaged and frozen type thing. We even joked that it wasnt chicken at all. Needles to say, none of us ate our food. We ended up eating cereal for dinner. Had it not been so late I would have driven back to get a refund. Because of my first and only experience being so bad I was only able to give 1 star instead of none due to how sweet the counter lady was. I truly couldn't be paid to ever go back here. read more

Me and my wife love this place the food is always good and hot. I have recommended this place to all my friends and family.

This restaurant is the BEST!! The garlic chicken and orange chicken are delicious. The good is prepared when u order, always great tasting and staff friendly. Excellent customer service and safe food handling. The restaurant was remodeled so very modern. The prices are great too. This is the best chinese food! read more

When I used to live around the area years ago this place was really handy. Cheap and reasonably good food for what I paid. It was never OMG I can't wait to get certain things out of this place. I was recently around the area and amazed the place is still open. I was hungry and wasn't feeling like eating salads so I ordered mixed veggies and rice. The food is ok just like before nothing special but it's hot so I know they cook it then when I ordered. The other thing that is a bit of a put off for me is the location around the restaurant. It feels a bit grungy. read more

The sesame chicken was covered in a brown sauce that was so sweet it was like candy. Yes sesame chicken is supposed to be sweet, but not this sweet. The curry chicken was spicy without the flavor profile of a good curry. The crab puffs were barely edible and the wontons were not edible at all. The only decent thing we got were egg rolls. Won't be back. read more

How many of you out there are a fan of sweet and sour pork ? You probably then know how its is supposed to look and most importantly how it is supposed to taste. Well the sweet and sour pork I got from this joint tasted like " a la the old built up grease off the grill".Look please relize i'm not getting paid for this, therefore would not lie, I call em like i see em in this case like I taste em. When I got home and started grubbing I thought maybe I got caught in a time/space warp continuem or some shit and got the food from Waffle house in 1953.It was barely edible. The vegetables were not crisp and i always thought bell peppers were med to dark green in color. I ASKED FOR and paid the man for extra vegetables and he acted like he had to put me through college, cmon bell pepper, pineapple, onion, and carrots are cheap I know it and you know it.So on to the special house fried rice....what part of the house did it come from ? Survey said, " under the house". I didnt exactly have to fight my way in through the entrance, down one of two lanes and up to counter to place my order. Wasnt anyone there when i arrived as when i left. With that being stated would it place the restaurant in bankruptcy to put a little more meat in the so called "special house" rice. Rice is cheaper than a ass kicking. I been up to the asian market, you can buy a 50 lb sack for probably under 20.00. Unless you were a cook in the armed sevices or the midnight mission very few of you all can fathom just how much a 50 lb bag of rice can actually produce. Probably enough to fill the bed of your XL350 OR G3500, I dont really wanna think about it. Anyhow the cook needs to get with that "brutha"... what's his name ? Oh yeah Uncle Ben. The texture of the rice was clumpy, for lack of a better world and to me it had no flavor. Lastly, lets talk about the spring rolls. Normally springs that I've bought else where in N. Glendale where inch and half in diameter 4 to 5 inches long. The once i bought from express where big around as your pinky. I could live with the size if they tasted good, again l tasted old grill grease. Probably the worst portion of this whole dining experince was the return. I actually dreaded having to go back because 1- I knew we would communicate poorly and 2- I knew that the man would think I was just trying to get over on him. Being a seeker of truth not always justice I had to go back. I kept it cool as he ran down his speel and we agreed on HALF ORDER OF EACH to compensate me. A couple of minutes later the lady handed me a bag it contained a pint of fried rice and one packet of soy sauce. Now let's see how your reading absorbtion and comprehension levels are currently ? Do you think I'll be going back to G.R.E. ? read more

This place is nothing to get too excited about. I ordered the sweet and sour pork dinner size and teriyaki chicken combo, which came up to be around 17 bucks. The teriyaki chicken was bathed in a watered down sauce and lacked some flavor. The rice that came in the combo was a poor excuse for fried egg fried rice. The sweet and sour pork came in a much smaller portion that what I expected. The breading-to-pork ratio was way off, I'd take a bite and would get a mouthful of oily breading with a small chunk of pork burrowed inside. The sweet and sour sauce was a lot more sour than sweet in my opinion also. What I did really like about this place is the communication between the restaurant and customer. I myself work at a Chinese place down the street and am impressed with their transparency. As soon as you walk into the dining area, there are signs posted everywhere and pictures of dishes, which is rare for a Chinese restaurant. The lady working the register was very friendly. AND they serve you filtered water rather than tap water, always a plus in my book. read more

The worst I have had. Then I read in the New Times they received a D rating on their last inspection. Looked it up and sure enough they did. Never again. read more

Seriously overpriced Chinese food, which is not as good as any random Chinese buffet food in Phoenix. The fried rice was just way below my expectation. Won't go back even it is a lot cheaper. read more

I stumbled across this place while looking for nearby Chinese takeout - I'm a student at the university nearby and was looking for something with good prices that wasn't too far. And oh did I find it! I love that I can order online, I get an email telling me when my food will be ready and then I just hop in my car to drive the 5 minutes to pick it up. The lo mein and egg drop soup are my favorites, but next time I plan on trying a few other things. Oh, and the owners are super nice! When I went in earlier for some dinner, they said they were trying to remember my name since I come in so often and usually order the same couple things. I was so touched! read more

If I could give 0 starts I would! This is the worst Chinese Food I have EVER had in my life. I asked them how long they have been around and the manager said they had been around for 25 years or more. I guess people around 59th Ave and Thunderbird Road enjoy eating lousy Chinese Food! I ordered Singapore Rice Noodles and it was by far the worst excuse for Singapore Rice Noodles I have ever eaten! Completely disgusting! The only thing that was good was the egg rolls and crab puffs. Avoid this SHIT hole at all costs! read more

I've lived in this area 16 years and was afraid to try this place bc I have tried other chinese restaurants that were not taste appealing. I ordered the Moo Shu Chicken it was very good and probably way better than the other Chinese restaurants such as Big Heng which it has gone downhill. Golden Rice Express Restaurant has been here as long as I lived here probably longer. It is a clean and decent fast food takeout. They do take their time which tells me it's not sitting in the corner somewhere like most Chinese restaurants around here. The service is awesome and most of the other Chinese restaurants the service staff are rude, not GRE they are hospitable and have a friendly smile. read more

The food is excellent and always delivered exactly as ordered and I customize everything. Sometimes delivery takes a while but as a frequent customer I know when that happens it is because they are busy. Hard to criticize a place because they are busy. To me that is a good sign when a restaurant is busy. Also regardless of time of delivery food always hot and fresh . I normally have delivery but when have stopped in for carry out Sandy has given me a ride home! read more

Worst food ever This is the worst food I ever had, but why is my post always being filtered? Seems they keep all the good posts and filter the bad ones. Tastes terrible. read more

Ordered for delivery, they got to the house within the time stated on the order but the food is incredibly subpar. The chicken is the dry crispy kind that you add sauce to yourself and they pay no attention to adapting the orders. I asked for absolutely no mushrooms in the egg drop soup and they put many mushrooms in it. If they couldn't separate them they should have called to inform me so I could cancel my order. I would never recommend. read more
