When I lived closer to Red Hook, I always had a great experience at Golden Wok for Chinese food. I was traveling through Red Hook today and decided to stop and get Chinese food and again they did not disappoint!!!! Absolutely amazing Chinese food!! Very well prepared and the staff is beyond friendly!! Thank you read more

Since the business has changed hands, the food is still great, but our order has been wrong every time. Our first few times back we were missing food items consistently. And with our Mother's Day order, for some reason instead of the few different combo meals we ordered, we all got sweet and sour chicken? Food is still delicious, but it's not what we ordered. We miss the old owners. read more

Food is great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]place is clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the service is awesome! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice place for lunch[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Will definitely come back and spend the day here in Red Hook NY! read more

Golden Wok - Chicken broccoli with garlic sauce... delicious - Dim Sum Near Me - Red Hook, New York

I recently tried golden wok for the first time. I was blown away by the beautiful bold flavors and the variety of dishes. The service - you order at the counter and don't have any table service. It is very easy to go back up to the counter if you need any assistance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is pretty small and does offer some tables for seating. It was clean and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was great. We ordered the clams and goose neck dishes. Both were incredibly delicious, well flavored, and a large portion. I am a firm believer that good Chinese food needs to be eaten on site. When you stick it in a container, it tends to experience condensation and moisture can ruin some of the crispy textures and flavors. I will definitely be back and I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Golden Wok - Clams - Dim Sum Near Me - Red Hook, New York

See all

I ordered multiple dishes at a spicy level of 4 and below and everything was SO spicy. I ordered tofu at a spicy level of 1 and it was shockingly spicy, inedible for my kids that love Chinese tofu. read more

Food used to be really good here. It must be under new management. I've gone about 3 times over the past few months and have been disappointed each time. The beef with broccoli is MOSTLY broccoli and by no means do they have good prices - so this is just them being cheap with their customers. The sweet and sour pork is so overcooked and tastes terrible. Frankly, the taste of all the dishes is bland, and they are so expensive. Bring your business somewhere else. Not worth the price tag at all. I've officially given up. read more

Wow ! I'm not sure what to say ...... it's basically a scam . flavored pork fried rice with tiny bits of what seems to be bacon bits in it , I'm not really sure . Dumplings were doughy and undercooked and the wonton soup is dishwater at best . The wontons are poorly constructed almost sloppy . I'll never go there again , it was theft . The people that run it are nice but maybe they were just laughing at me . Zero stars & and totally gross . Do better ! read more

Always a favorite! Sweet & Sour Chicken and Spare Ribs, & Donuts are our family's go to. Also love the Seaweed salad and Bubble tea! Our family loves ordering from the Golden Wok as a treat! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a wonderful Chinese restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was introducted to Golden Wok a few years ago by a good friend who lives in Rhinebeck. Now every time I visit him, we eat there. You'd never guess the quality of the food by its humble exterior. The food is just incredible, and has been so since I first visitied it. It's the real deal. If you're anywhere near its vicinity do yourself a favor and stop in. Everything is so good, I don't think it's fair to single any particular items for praise. read more

Food is very good. Takeout takes 15 minutes to be completed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very friendly place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very busy with local customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have been going to Golden Wok since I was very very young, they are some of the best around. Their food is delicious and consistent, while their service can be a tad distant, they will ALWAYS have your food ready on time, and piping hot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I very rarely sit in, but when I do it's nice to bring someone and enjoy the calm atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food was delicious, on par with any thing from NYC, 11/10 would recommend. Great food, amazing prices, and fast service! read more

Golden Wok - Dim Sum Near Me - Red Hook, New York

It must have been a fluke that my last order in 2022 was so spicy, but when I came in a few days past a month ago and ordered "in person," things seemed to have changed. I was by myself and having walked down to this place (being my only transport method these past few months), placed my order. Only it took me a little bit longer to figure out what I wanted but couldn't seem to find simple "chicken & cashews" on their take-out menu, when I relayed what I wanted (and not by any number), this place responded. However, it took me a few seconds after the employee (who just so happened to be a co-owner of the store) asked for my payment when I realized I forgot to get my drink (they have Boylan soda here). It seemed like she remembered me, though no longer by name in this semi-small town. However, while I don't remember which Boylan I got, I don't think that matters. They have a vast selection of those here from colas to root beer to ginger ale to I believe even grape soda (but don't quote me on that one 100%). I brought it over and before the glass bottle could even touch onto the counter, the female employee placed it into the order and I paid. I waited a few moments as I walked over the 10 feet to the open table by the window on a warmer day () I tried to pop open the drink while I waited. However, the drink didn't open and when I went looking for napkins or secondary methods, began getting oral in my request. The same woman who went to sit down again at a nearby chair then finally responded and brought over a napkin - sweat was pouring down my face literally - yet with that napkin, I got it open. While I waited for my food to be made, I people-watched. A few people came in, while some of those also left. A few minutes went by and out my food came. She never asked where I was eating it, and immediately bagged it. Although she did include napkins, one thing I found missing where I tried to eat it was utensils - and not even chopsticks were included (peeps might want to ask for those right now). However, I had walked to the Red Hook Eat n' Go - a short distance away, so couldn't just go back for them. I walked to Stewarts to rectify it, and they came through with at least a ice-cream spoon. Now, the food wasn't too bad. Less spicy than it used to be in 2022, and I didn't even have to ask. Seemed that there was a different cook on, though that really shouldn't have mattered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is rather friendly, though not overly decorative. Things are placed now too wide between tables, and very few sets of tables exist (all thanks to 2020's pandemic precautions).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did remember them having more tables prior to that, but I wasn't bickering because it's crowd is "different". I still don't know what happened behind the scenes from that 2022 order, but things have changed. I'm not part of the "in" crowd anymore in my town. Without I car, I seemed to have walked away from being "in." read more

Consistently great food and service for over 20 years, family run. Large menu. Fast, reasonable.

terrible service. I told the owner their food was cold when delivered and they scolded the kitchen and then brought back the same cold food

Love this place! Great food, friendly people. Chinese is my favorite food, and this place rivals them all. read more

best chinese food for the price in this area! thus is not Hong Kong , Singapore or NYC but it's as good as it gets for this area! Big portions for the price! Good Deal !!! read more

I only order their Spicy Chinese Dishes. I'm happy with the authenticity and spice level "bold". Otherwise need to go 7 miles out for authentic cooking and ingredients. Good seating. read more

Five alarm chicken! The very nice lady at the register offered to make it hotter (10X hotter) for me! So nice! It still was not hot enough for me, but oh it was so yummy! =) Not everyone can get something hot enough for my taste, but this was really tasty & made up for it! Definitely ordering again the next time I'm in town! read more

Delicious, authentic food. Be sure not to miss out on the specials on the back wall-and to use the 1-10 spicy rating if you really know what's up. Hands down the best Chinese cuisine in the valley. read more

Like having a Chinese mother to take care of me. Hot and sour soup is great, plus she is very good at making suggestions.

I'm giving two stars because the food has been good when I have eaten here but I haven't gone back in almost two years because I have a fear of getting sick from the food again. When we first moved here almost 4 years ago we went here and it was great. We went back with my family a second time and I believe it was the dumplings or pork buns but I got horribly sick. In the shower, vomiting and other unpleasant symptoms. Months later while I was pregnant I ordered from them again because I wanted to give them another shot and I got very sick again! So I haven't ordered from them in a while and I'm nervous too but I hope they may see this and make sure nothing like that happens to anyone else. read more

So driving back to NYC (rushing home to my fur child) I decided to stop and get something to eat (I didn't stay for the reception). I stopped at a Chinese Restaurant named the, "Golden Wok" located at 7479 South Broadway, Red Hook NY. Tele: 845-758-6868. I ordered my food and waited (I paid with a card). As I waited, two white gentleman entered the restaurant. I assume that they orderded their food prior to my arrival. The woman behind the country happily (and eagerly might I add) bought their food to their table on a tray. She was also excited as she greeted all of the white patrons that entered her establishment. One black gentleman who entered to pick up his food was not treated with the same level of excitement or enthusiasm as the white patrons. He appeared happy to see me (another person of color in a town that is a predominantly white affluent area). We shared pleasantries. When my food was ready... I was called to pick up the two hot plates from the counter. I asked (because I was confused), "Is there no customer service? No tray to be bought to my table?" The woman yelled out, "Did you pay tip for customer service for me to bring the food to you?!" I asked, "Isn't the tip included in the end and paid and paid in correlation to the service provided?" The gentleman behind the counter proceeded to assist me with carrying my plates to my table. Turned off... I left the food there after having paid $22 for it. I don't have the energy for an exchange or further encounter. People who have eaten out with me know that I will usually clean up the table after myself and tip nicely... but nah... not this go round... I left that shit on the table. Did I tip? Not after that encounter... Will I come back when visiting? No. Do I recommend this place? Not to anyone of color. But she will cheerfully greet and serve you if you're white. read more

Not sure what's going on pandemic staff shortage whatever reasons can't get products unfortunately quality seems to of gone downhill, General Tso's doesn't even taste like General Tso's doesn't look like general Tao's. Used to be a dark sauce with a pepper here and there now this is a very light sauce with no peppers. And was missing a rice. Come on Golden wok get it back up to standards..... read more

Golden Wok is one of the very few Chinese restaurants on this side of the Hudson in the Dutchess County area. It is not at all anything to write home about - the food is abysmally average in terms of Chinese food. Spiciness and flavor changes randomly. While I have not been subject to this, many of my associates who frequent this restaurant report feeling ill the day after eating from Golden Wok. There are plenty of great Chinese Restaurants in downtown Kingston, NY. It is a 10 minute drive away, so don't waste your money here when you can get much better quality along the way. Maybe if you're in a pinch for Chinese food it's not bad, but not recommendable. read more

Best Chinese I've had in the area. Fresh and tasty. Dishes have a nice variety of vegetables. Definitely recommend

Most authentic Chinese food you'll find in our area. Reviewers have complained about bad service and such, have they ever been to a Chinese restaurant? Just because there's a difference of culture doesn't mean these folks aren't lovely. They care about the food they make and it shows. Very good. They're also not shy with heat when they mean it. Get the Dandan noodles. Also, here's the list of the back wall as of February 2019. Top down from left to right. Some folks think these are not on the printed menu, but it seems that for the most part they are, they're just all over the place.

Best chinese lunch special in the area. I have always got chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce or eggplant in garlic sauce. Never dissapoints! You have to be careful at chinese takeouts, but this place is amazing. Only thing that can be a turnoff is the owner can be very short and come off mean...if she could have a more friendly personality, this would be a 5/5....lucjy the food here is great! read more

Golden Wok - Eggplant in garlic sauce lunch special - Dim Sum Near Me - Red Hook, New York

We decided to eat here before food shopping at Hannafords. The portions are ample, flavors are nice, service is pleasant Nice drinks selection. Ambiance is meh, but the calendar pix on the wall are funny and the virtual aquarium is amusing. Note: they don't have a bathroom. Plan ahead. Fortunately Hannafords does and right in front. Interesting observation: they have HUGE jade plants, bushes really, and they're in bloom! read more

If you want a big, smiley "Welcome to the Wok, how are you today?" forget it. It's pretty much, Whaddya want? Here's your stuff. G'bye. Don't be offended. They treat everyone the same way. If you want a warm welcome, get a dog. This place is about the food. Sure, you can find better Chinese food - maybe in New York and for a lot more money. But you won't find better fresh, well-prepared Chinese around here at any price. Not even close. read more

I noticed a Change in taste Pork Fried rice VERY little PORK blander taste Egg drop soup quite bland. Do they have a new cook ?

G-Wok has gone to the next level and deserves more stars!!! The owners and I have made an agreement that ANYTHING on the menu I want to learn how to cook, they will teach me. I have been learning in their kitchen and using up to 3 woks at a time!!! I have mastered Beef w/ Broccoli in Garlic Sauce and Schezwan Chicken. Call me Master BLACK WOK!! Back to the menu.... read more

The food is pretty good for this area. The duck is probably the best dish. Don't misunderstand the server, she is actually pretty nice. This place gets extremely busy and overwhelmed. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is, it's the best you can get around here. read more

Ordered from this restaurant today. Woman who answered the phone .took my order was rude and short with me Food wasn't that good.. Don't waste your time. Go somewhere else. read more

THIS FOOD IS TRASH AS IT GETS!!! Not only are they beyond rude and nasty but they screw up almost every order I've had from here! The place is filthy and unwelcoming and it smells like wet dog .very gross would never want anyone to have to experience this ! THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN ASAP before their food makes anyone else sick . I wouldn't even want this for my worst enemy read more

always a favorite in my house. we love the staff and food. price is amazing. only bad thing is they're closed on tuesdays :(

It's pretty damn decent for local takeout you can't go wrong-- especially around here.

The BEST. Delicious, consistent, quick. Large menu with more traditional dishes as well.

They tanked BIG time - I went there 2/2/2018 with my husband because we remembered we enjoyed their food and hospitality . WOW! changed . The woman taking orders was in a grumpy mood. Slamming counter . Dumplings were nasty. Food was cold . They did not bring the food to us , yelled at us to us " Hey YOU come here ! to get it - rather than bring it to us to table ..like they used to - I asked for two take home containers and she handed me two small rice holders to put mine and my husbands dinners in . NOT what they were ! Get rid of the lady at the counter and get some manners please !!! read more

Do I think I can one up my man Will's review? Hells no! But I think we can both tell you that this is some of the best Americanized Chinese food you will ever have. I've been to places both in LA and in NY, and you will STILL be hard pressed to find a place better than Golden Wok. The 1 to 10 scale on spice always holds true (I've had up to a eight, and wouldn't mind venturing up a notch), so they are definitely willing to accommodate the taste for heat. The service rates from vaguely rude (but only if can't handle someone being curt toward you), to quirky, to very friendly. Unless otherwise stated, never have I once had to wait longer than 10 minutes for my food and the order is ALWAYS correct. What more could you want from a Chinese food place in the hook? read more
