    Visiting from California. Food is not good, nor fresh. -it looks like the food has been sitting for hours. All food items are empty . Service - is horrible. I understand why the place is empty. Ambiance- is okay. Pic's below provided...

    Bowl with orange chicken and white rice.

    Lately the portions have been terrible. 10 dollars for 5 pieces of chicken if you're lucky. Too expensive for the portions.

    I uh ate the Walnut shrimp too fast....looooool

    I'm generally not a huge fan of junk food but it does hit the spot. It's really the staff that does it. They're super friendly and give you samples of everything which is super cool. But I generally know what I want. I can probably live off the Walnut shrimp forever. Manager here is extremely courteous and professional while running the joint. I'd definitely come back and I have...really for the staff. They all need raises!

    Always get good service here. However they need to keep up with cleaning the tables after patrons leave.

    First of all, this restaurant is a good time. I saw the owner and he has tons of energy, will greet…read moreyou upon arrival, and is always smiling. However, I feel like they've completely branded it the wrong way. This is clearly a tiki bar in the middle of McHenry, Illinois. I would come here solely based on their drinks and appetizers. Classic dishes, such as Pork Chop Suey or Shrimp in Lobster Sauce were not listed on the menu. I think the menu was designed to cater to the McHenry County palate and not necessarily Chicagoland masses. The classic fried boneless chicken pieces tossed in sauce and placed over rice were available. To be specific, General Tszo's chicken and sesame chicken seem to be popular. There are also chicken and steak dishes which I thought were sorta appetizing. I ended up getting the chef's pot stickers, an eggroll, and the Bird of Paradise meal. It's true, the eggroll was pretty delicious. So were the potstickers. My meal seemed to be very carb forward, and the beef was generally tasteless. I took my meal to go after having maybe two bites out of it. Today I took about half of it and reheated it in a large pan with scrambled eggs. I also added the hot mustard and stirred it into the dish so it could spread out. Paired with soy sauce, it really made the dish have so much more flavor. I'm used to eating at restaurants in Chicago that are really challenging my pallet. This place is very safe for people who are generally not adventurous eaters but do want to get an introduction into Chinese food. Again, I can't stress enough that if you're home from college for the summer break, or you are a 30 something working individual looking for somewhere to let off some steam in the middle of McHenry (when it seems like there is nowhere to go) -- come here. It has the best vibes. The Staff and the owner are super friendly and very accommodating. I got everything necessary to package up my food to take home. Although most places operate this way, it was nice to be able to just give my card at the table and have it run through while the waiter was standing right in front of me. Come here to party. This is the perfect venue and the tiki drinks are fire!

    Has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Fox Lake. It might be the only one. Golden Dragon…read moreis a pretty old looking place that may look like it could be closed, but it's still open for business. Pretty dank inside, but every Chinese restaurant like this it seems to have food better than it looks, and the same thing for here. The prices are pretty good for portions. At lunch we came in and got a table with no wait at all. It only had a couple other tables occupied, and one of those was by a few employees. The atmosphere is pretty lame to be honest. Got a couple orders anyway. There's a few things for vegetarians. It's about $10 for an entree. I got the Golden Tofu. This item was actually unfamiliar. I had never heard of this before. This had a thick kind of soy sauce that was quite salty. Lots of vegetables in it. There was broccoli, carrots, and onions. Got to say it was better than expected. It may look crappy inside and outside, but the food holds up. There's plenty of meaty options, as well as things for vegetarians.

    My general opinion on this place still stands, it's good from time to time but it's inconsistent…read more Today was a pretty good day here, everything was done correctly although it was all luke warm at best. Sometimes my fried dumplings are hardly fried at all but today they had great texture. Those are my must have item, I order them every time. The white rice is... white rice. Can't mess that up. The fried rice had plenty of vegetables, I find the color a bit unnatural but the flavor was good enough. The wonton soup was good but really should have been hotter, I live very close by and always pick up on time so the drive time isn't an issue. The egg roll was decent and the warmest item we got. The Tso's chicken had a great sauce and decent texture but given how hot the container was and how luke warm the meat was its obviously pre made (I'm guessing everything is here, unless your lucky). The place itself is a dingy hole in the wall spot. They do have a few tables but it's not an environment I'd want to hang out in so it's mostly a take out joint. The service hurts their score more than anything else. Their phone etiquette needs a lot of work, today they did a good job but normally they rush through the process and you feel like they don't even want your business. They might ask for your name or phone number or even give you an order number but the language barrier can complicate the pick up process so they often figure out which order is yours by asking what's in your order. A concrete system that the workers understand would go a long way to fixing this issue. Most orders take no more than 10 minutes to prepare so make sure your close by before you call or your luke warm food will end up cold by the time it hits your table. Overall this place is hit and miss but it's somehow the best bet for Chinese in this area.

There was a bag of oil on the sesame balls. There were soaked in oil, not crunchy and sweet sour shrimp. All shrimp. We tour one apart, and the shrimp was as big as dime. Very disappointed. Very dry eggrolls, I've ordered before and been very satisfied, but I don't know what happened before and been very satisfied, but I don't know what happened to their fried rice? were dark brown fried rice. I ordered shrimp fried rice with no flavor and dark rice,Very unsatisfied, took menu to pass to my family. They threw them away.
