Located right on Hillside Ave, it was easy to park in the evening and made this a very convenient stop. It was late and quiet, I ordered from a nice woman and within a few minutes my food was ready to go home with me. This is a small take out shop with some seating available. I had my regular combination meal that I always get... Roast Port Egg Foo Young with Fried Rice and Egg drop wonton mixed soup. I was extremely impressed with this food. Soup was thick and delicious with a nice tasty broth and four tasty wontons. I also enjoyed the Egg Foo Yong which was well cooked with nice large pieces of pork, just like the fried rice. They also give you a nice gravy to go with this. I will happliy go back if i'm in the area. There food was really good and I would like to try other meals. KUDOs to the team at Chen's Kitchen

This was my first time getting take-out from Golden Wok and I chose this place based off Yelp…read morereviews. The place itself looks clean, but I have mixed feelings about the food. The shrimp lo mien was very tasty and a good portion size. The fried chicken wings were decent too. BUT, I also ordered General Tso chicken and it was disgusting! It was fried entirely too hard, in old oil, and was covered in a red sauce- red red like food coloring- see pic. General Tso usually comes with broccoli- this order came with **TWO** small broccoli florets with lots of carrots, celery and green peppers--- YUK! I also ordered egg rolls and was given all pork! I guess if you don't specify no meat- they automatically give pork. Finding good Chinese takeout nowadays is a hard task but this place is definitely NOT it.

This restaurant is always clean, and the retro, eclectic décor gives it a lot of character. The service has consistently been excellent. We never have to ask for anything beyond placing our order because our server always anticipates what we need, and every member of the staff has been friendly and polite. As for the food, this is easily the best American-Chinese restaurant I've had on Long Island. Our favorites are the General Tso's chicken, which is perfectly crispy and coated in just the right amount of sauce, the crab rangoons, which are generously filled with crab and cream cheese, and the house fried rice, loaded with a great mix of proteins and plenty of egg. If you haven't been here yet, I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try. I'd put much more weight on your own experience than on a handful of reviews that seem wildly out of step with what we've experienced.

My favorites are the dim sum dishes of beef or pork rice rolls ,rib tips ,and the beef chow fun is amazingly delicious. They have a greater choice of Dim Sum dishes brought to you in carts only on weekends. But you can still get some dishes during the week. The interior is very spacious and makes you feel You are actually in Hong Kong. They have a big party room in the rear that sits 100 guests. With a full bar just outside of the room. And also another bar near the main entrance . (Both not sit down bars) And inside main areas can sit another approximately 150 to 200 guests. Their is decent amount of parking out front with a designated handi cap spot to the left of lot with a ramp and parking to the side and to the rear of the restaurant.
