Takeout order went smoothly, everything was ready on time. Food tasted good, and the portions were HUGE!

Food was not very fresh or high quality Chinese. Emphasis more on plate quantity for people who prefer that. Prices were reasonable though. Service and ambience were unremarkable. read more

Mediocre food at extreme prices. Not many combos for dinner, I think only three? Sauce's are extra - 50c each for pickup. Today was my first time here and I spent almost 70 dollars for one side or rice and three orders of different types of chicken. On the plus side they didn't ask for a tip and service was fast. I will absolutely not be returning. read more

We have gone to Golden Spring for many years, off and on. Tonight we got potstickers, Lemon Chicken, and Ginger Beef and it was delicious. They never disappoint, but tonight's meal was exceptional. Highly recommended. read more

I first went here in 2008. And returned so many times as I made my way home from work after many long grueling days. I live an hour and a half away now but recently stopped in after a visit to Sonoma. I was happy I did. I think the name drew me in but the food kept me coming back along with the kind and helpful staff. If you haven't tried this place be sure to check it out. read more

Golden Spring Mandarin Cuisine is unspectacular, but not terrible. Hoping for a glimmer in the otherwise barren Asian food landscape of Sonoma, Golden Spring seemed a good lunch bet. Lunch specials range from $10.65 to $11.95, depending on your choice of protein. Each includes a cup of hot and sour soup, which was neither spicy nor astringent, and some sad fried wontons, which were not worth the oily calories. Also not spicy, the "Mongolian" beef should have been called beef with green and white onions. Devoid of any ambiance, the dining room is equipped with Formica topped tables that sport paper placemats with the Chinese zodiac (Year of the Dog, Horse, Dragon, etc.). Right out of a 1960s standard issue Chinese restaurant manual. If you have a desire for Chinese cuisine, save yourself the trouble: skip Golden Spring Mandarin Cuisine and just drive to Clement Street in The City. read more

New go to spot for Chinese food. Napa Valley Chinese food leaves a lot to be desired dated interior but they've been in business for 25 years all the dishes I've tried have been great a lot of people order to go read more

This is our go to Chinese food restaurant. Everything that we like is so good at this restaurant. We love the Chicken with plum sauce and sweet and sour pork! read more

Review for take out order only. Called in our order and it was ready in 15 minutes. The owners are super nice and I love that the whole family helps out in the restaurant. Food was hot when we got it. Flavor is good and not to salty which I enjoy. We got fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour pork and beef and broccoli. I did not really like the sweet and sour pork because it was to soft and not crispy but I am sure it was we got it to go. Prices are very reasonable and portions are a good size. We will definitely be back maybe dine in next time. read more

The Best Spring Rolls around! The Egg Flower's soup is also worth driving there. Give them a try you won't be disappointed. We have been enjoying their cuisine for over 12 years and counting. read more

BEST Chinese cuisine in Sonoma, hands down. The hostess is always very kind in her greetings. I haven't had the opportunity to eat in the restaurant but from what I've experienced when picking up my orders, it's specious, clean and quiet. read more

We had a great lunch yesterday. The Pork Fried Rice is the best of my life - and I've had a lot! The Szechuan Beef was perfect too - so delicious. Same for the Twice Cooked Pork. Very nice dining room - plenty of space. Lovely family service. Highly recommended! read more

This restaurant is a local gem. We have been living in Sonoma more than 20 years... Golden Springs feels like home to us- we have even felt adopted into their family. Not only is their food spectacular, This family is The Best!!! They are friendly, funny, talented , smart, and honest...and almost all grown up now!!!! . Everything is super clean, super fresh. I just always look forward to returning. My favorites are the combination egg foo young the hot and sour soup , Hong Kong noodles , sizzling plates three happiness, crab Rangoon, spring rolls, MuShu whatever for sure!!! Need to go there for their Peking Duck- best to let them know ahead of time. Definitely give this family establishment your business. We love them and they are some of the most dedicated owners we know. Congrats Chef Ken and Mama Michelle. Honestly, I can't believe this is my first review....Everyone please go and enjoy yourself!!!! read more

We sadly discovered Golden Spring late in our time in Sonoma, but it became a staple for us. We've just moved, and I ordered from here more times that I care to admit while our kitchen was packed up. My favorite dish was the Garlic pork with eggplant. The eggplant was always done perfectly and the sauce was this awesome combination of savory and sweet. We'll really miss this place and want it to flourish, so check it out! read more

Thought we would give them another try. Arrived at noon on Friday, 11/22/24, and found a sign on the door CLOSED. So, we went to Amy's which everything there was atrocious. read more

This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant! I wish I would have known about this GEM years ago. The pot stickers were cooked to perfection and everything else I ordered was bursting with flavor. My wife even mentioned how she didn't feel bloated after, which had been the norm for us after we would eat Chinese food. Maybe it's the oil they cook with? We have only got take out but the restaurant itself is very clean and has a charming atmosphere. Try this place out. Youll be stoked you did... read more

Wonderful food and great service! I am a weekly customer and am always surprised by how good the food is...

This place in my opinion is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever gone to! It's the real deal! True authentic food that is probably one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area easily hands down!! Enjoy it's a true perfection yummy food!! read more

Him: Sorry, I would give this place one star but the woman working there was very kind. The food is just plain bad and to top it off, it's WAY overpriced, even for Sonoma. The beef, the chicken, the rangoons-- all of it was subpar quality if you were ordering from Panda Express (which is practically right across the street). I'm not sure it was even meat, the quality was so low. Almost $100 went into the trash can and we didn't feel too great shortly after eating the small amount we did consume. read more

Yummmmy. Such kind staff. Great hrs. Easy to park and delicious foods. My favorite is the black mushroom with baby bok choy.

We love them. Great food, good service and always fresh. The sesame chicken is served dry, it's great!

I've been coming to Golden Springs for over almost two decades at this point and thought it was due time to write up some of the great dishes this sweet little spot serves. They're timely, delicious, and very accommodating. Crispy Hunan Beef - Sweet, salty, and deliciously crispy - they serve them with small side of crispy wonton slices as well. SO good! Potstickers - Again one of their best - juicy and packed with flavor, best dipped in a combination of their chili oil, vinegar, and splash of soy sauce. YUM! General Tso's Chicken - Extremely flavorful with a slight crisp bite. A must have over some steamed rice. Szechaun Chicken - This is a favorite of my brother's and also another flavor hit. I will say the takeout version can tend to be a little bit soggy (due to steam in the box on the way home) but is superb if you're going to dine in. Any of their Won Ton soups - the broth is very delicate and flavorful and you can't go wrong with the seasoning of the wonton fillings. My personal favorite is the BBQ Pork Won Ton soup - perfect for when you need something hot and cozy. Chow Mein and Lo Noodles - Always a hit, especially any of their meat options. If you're looking for more of a 'wet' or saucy noodle, Lo Noodles are your best bet! Don't let some of the reviews here deter you too much as I think some are either just unfortunate one-off experiences or commentary made for the sake of getting a few laughs. Ken and his family have poured so much of their love into this restaurant for the many years they've been here and truly love Sonoma. I hope you'll give them a try. read more

First and last visit here. My husband's chow mein noodles were hard and old tasting. He said he's never had worse. The Szechuan pork was ok, but not much pork. The hot sour soup was tasty. The romantic prawns were the romance of an old tired couple about to divorce. read more

Really good for the price & for being in Sonoma. They were quick, it only took 15 min to get my food. I got the Hong Kong style Chow mein (the noodles in this are supposed to be hard, they fry them then the sauce softens it all back up as you eat with just a bit of satisfying crunch, don't order the Hong Kong style if that's not what you want) and it was just what I expected and wanted, lots of fresh vegetables and good quality meat. The Peking duck is not really Peking duck, it's more like the roast duck you'd get at ranch 99 but so is the price, so that works out fine if you go in with the right expectation, also pretty yummy. The pancakes that came with the duck wasn't great though. The bbq pork spare ribs were great, very sticky and sweet and savory. I will come back! read more

We love this family & restaurant! Our favs are bbq pork chow mein, cashew chicken, Phoenix & dragon!

Always fresh ingredients, lots of flavor, definitely the best Chinese Food in Sonoma. Five stars and owners are so kind, Happy New Year!! Support local and eat here!! read more

This place is filthy and disgusting and there is bugs in the food. The noodles taste old and hard, barley edible without the fruit flys.

Called late on a Friday, made a huge order for 12 people and they were great with helping me with how mich to order, the wait was 45 minutes but they even called me as soon as it was ready and the food was AMAZING!!! read more

Love this place! Best Chinese food in Sonoma, in my opinion. Love there chow mein and fried wantons! Very nice people there.

Really, really great food! We had the Delight Dinner for two. The wonton soup was particularly good. I also liked the decor, it reminded me of my great aunt's house but in a comfortable and clean way. read more

Should be busier, huge menu, great appetizers. I cannot come here without the Spring Roll. Usually get takeout but prefer to order when I get there to sit and enjoy Chinese beer. Romantic Prawns is honey walnut prawns anywhere else and they are awesome! Lunch specials make this a quick place to stop. read more

Tried this place and though the food was ok, they forgot multiple items and didn't give an itemized receipt so we couldn't get any refunds. Be sure to double check your order if you call in a pickup, they will leave things out and you can't do anything about it. read more

After Black Friday shopping in Petaluma, we were hungry for some Chinese. Not familiar with the area, we saw a great review for this place and decided to try it. Yum! Reminds me of the suburban Chinese food of my youth. General Tao's chicken - sauce was delicious, but not too thick. Green peppers, onions and broccoli were perfectly cooked. Chicken could have been more plentiful. Side of white rice was just right. Chicken fried rice - was flavorful on its own! Nice chunks of chicken, fresh peas and carrots mixed with tender bits of egg. Wish it was closer so we can do takeout. read more

When the Napa Line Crew comes to town, we always stop by for lunch and have General Tao's Chicken. This is the best sweet and spicy chicken disk we have found in our turf. That's from the Benicia and Carquinez bridges, NW parts of Solano county, all of Napa county, SE parts of Sonoma county, and the SW parts of Yolo county. That's a big area for six guys! A couple guys have had other lunch specials which were deemed excellent, but the Generals is the best! One things for sure when hungry linemen sit down to eat, if the food sucks we won't be back. read more

Golden Spring Mandarin Cuisine - General Tao's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Sonoma, California

Sorry. No obvious ability to order online (Covid). Online menu has NO PRICES! Totally unacceptable.

I cannot believe that Sonoma Magazine rated this Chinese restaurant as #10 of the top Chinese restaurants in Sonoma county by Sonoma Magazine. We had vegetable chow mien, fried won tons and sesame chicken. The chow mien was bland with a strange odor, the wontons were oily, the sweet and sour sauce pale in color, and the sesame chicken, although OK with flavor, had no sesame seeds. Overall, a terrible meal that found its way to the compost bucket. read more

Bad service, worst attitude. Not friendly at all. Rude with costumers. Really the worst experience with them.

The best place for Chinese in Sonoma is here. I have several dishes over three visits. The General Tao's chicken was spicy and sweet, the ginger beef was tender with oodles of onions and all deliciously fragrant, and the prawns in lobster sauce had large pieces of firm and flavorful shrimp. These have been good meals! read more

The hot and sour soup was not sour and the other dishes were bland. I can not recommend this restaurant.
