Wild Chinese Buffet

We wanted to try something different and we're driving over from Stokton. I went on Yelp and saw…read morethat this place had great reviews so why not give it a shot. We had the honey walnut shrimp, and the Mongolian chicken and a bowl of hot and sour soup. The food was extremely tasty and the prices are very reasonable. The service was fabulous. The staff is so friendly can't believe we've never been here but we will now put it in our monthly rotation. I very highly recommend this place if you haven't tried it.

I really wanted to like this place. The first time I had it,…read moreI was left wanting more and couldn't wait to return. However, the next few times at this restaurant were a bit disappointing. I usually get the lunch specials ( the portions are quite large) and I ordered the prawns with sweet and sour chicken and chow mein. I also got an order of wonton soup. The chow mein was greasy, the prawns look smashed and hardly resembled prawns, and the sweet and sour chicken had some really tough bits in there, as if reheated too long. The wonton soup was also flavorless, with huge cuts of vegetables, and dumplings were flimsy with barely any meat. I see the potential this restaurant has and hope it can improve with time. The place was packed when I went, so I'm sure it's doing right by some patrons.

December 13, 2025 - Approx. 6:25 PM…read more On the way back to Stockton from Jackson, was in the mood for Chinese food and Google Maps suggested this restaurant. SUMMARY: Good deal for take/out food in this era of high inflation. PROS: Was impressed with how fresh the vegetables were in my Beef w/Broccoli order. Plus a nice balance of flavors. Also, was surprised with the Yen Ching Fried Rice, as it was both filling & flavorful. Finally, the served portions equaled, if not exceeded, the charged prices. CONS: While I was waiting in the dining room for my orders, I was freezing. I don't think they even bothered to turn the heater on, or maybe it just wasn't working. But you can imagine that if you ate in the restaurant, your meal would go cold in a matter of minutes. It's a total shame, since the interior decor is rather nice. Also, while I enjoyed the aforementioned Yen Ching Fried Rice, I felt that the Yen Ching Chow Mein was not on the same level. While the flavors and ingredients were basically the same, I felt that the noodles chosen by the chefs were not top quality, especially taking into account that this is supposed to be one of their signature dishes. SUGGESTION TO MANAGEMENT: Sprinkle some fresh Sesame Seeds on the Dry Fried Chicken, and the dish will look visually appealing. And please turn on the heating in the restaurant during Winter. SUMMARY: If you want good Chinese food at reasonable prices, this place is definitely worth a try.

Came to Golden China as a spur of the moment dinner idea and tbh I'm super disappointed…read more Located off Geer in the Turlock Town Center, Golden China serves typical no frills Chinese fare. The inside is decked out in lucky red and reminded me of those mom-n-pop Chinese restaurants of yore. There's a walk-up counter to place to-go orders. I ordered: Salt n pepper shrimp - I counted 14 head OFF shrimp with 60% onions, NO jalapenos for almost $17. The shrimp looked like the kind you find in a frozen bag at Costco - small and... shrimpy. I get this may be a bastardized version to appeal to the general demographic in Turlock, but I was not impressed. It's what made me write my review right away, I was so shocked by the small amount I got. Chicken chow mein - this was ordered at the counter for the SO after placing my original order over the phone. When he dug into it, it was 40% bean sprouts and barely any chicken, maybe 5 or 6 small pieces... Beef chow fun - same issue of overcompensating with hella bean sprouts. The beef wasn't velveted enough and a bit tough. Taste was fine. Chili oil spilled over in my to-go bag and didn't have much spice at all. All three entrees came in the leftover to-go sized boxes, totaling almost $50 after tax and tip. I understand inflation and all, but cannot justify returning due to the negative value for the amount of food received. It's unfortunate because the service is probably some of the best for a Chinese restaurant. Super friendly over the phone and just as friendly in-person. As Gordon Ramsay would say, "Damn. What a shame."

I tried the following for dinner: - Tomato Beef w/ White Rice - Siu Mai Dumplings In terms of the Tomato Beef with rice, I wasn't personally a fan of the dish. I wanted to be adventurous with trying something new, since I typically default to Beef & Broccoli, Chow Mein, Mongolian Beef, Walnut Shrimp, etc. I will say that I did consume the beef pieces along with the rice (not too many of the tomato pieces, though). The dish was an acquired taste. I'm glad I tried it, but it's something I will not get again. The Siu Mai Dumplings (shrimp & pork filling) were INCREDIBLE! They were so palatable and delicious to enjoy in every single bite. I usually pair soy sauce with dumplings. They were so good that soy sauce was not even needed! I look forward to trying more dishes from Oriental Chef. I will definitely get the dumplings again in the near future.

Their entire menu is incredibly affordable (a la carte dishes are ~$12 and lunch special combination plates are ~$11 on average) with generous portion sizes. The general chicken is a MUST! Such a flavorful sauce. My order is not complete without this dish, there's really just nothing like it. I also highly recommend their spicy pepper ribs and mongolian beef. I'm pretty picky about chow mein and theirs is unmatched; I love the flavor and especially the thicker noodles they use. Service is always really quick, the staff truly treats customers like family, and the food comes out hot and fresh every time. It's an unassuming hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but such a gem!

I ordered take out, one order of house fried rice, one order of orange chicken, and one order of sweet and sour pork. Everything was tasty and looked like it was made from scratch. Was it freshly prepared? Not likely. I was in and out the door in less than ten minutes. No way they could prepare this food that fast. Portions were big enough to serve 3-4 people no problem. The bill was a bit of a sticker shock, about $54 for everything. Would I go back? Probably not. Panda is about a mile from us and the two of us can eat there for $20-ish.

The orange chicken is a bit too candy like for me, and yes I know that it is pretty much candy anywhere you go. I haven't tried much else. Onions and jalapeños on most everything else, not a fan. And the fried rice has pork in it. I'd love to see this place level up a bit, and I'd be in here all the time. I think they need to stand out a bit, not just with their prices, to compete with the other two Chinese places within just a couple blocks. I appreciate that they offer combo meals all day. I don't know why other places in town only have them during limited hours. I'm one person that wants a meal, not a huge portion of one item. No brainer. I also don't understand the idea of the takeout family meals, where they choose the dishes. Just let people choose what they want, right? They're not the only place that does this. In fact I think almost all Chinese places do this in Lodi. I still don't get it. This wasn't a thing where I grew up. I want to say that they have some growing to do, but since this is a "local" chain, I feel like they probably have a formula that they stick with. Another Chinese place was here before. They were ok. Took a long time with orders, and had weird menu limitations. I think that if Sherman's wants any kind of longevity here, they will need to adapt a bit. Also, if people want onions and jalapeños on their food, let them choose. Don't impose them on us.

The fried rice was just okay, pretty plain and nothing memorable. The coconut shrimp was the best part: crispy, flavorful, and something I'd come back for. Overall, I'd call the food mid, especially the chicken dishes. The place is small, staff seemed a little laid-back, but I liked that they accept credit card with a quick digital scan. I'd rate it around 3 stars, mostly for the shrimp.

We ordered garlic fried chicken, house chow mein, hot and sour soup, and what was supposed to be an order of cha siu. The chow mein had thinner noodles and I love that, but there was very little veggies and meat and it didn't have a lot of flavor. The garlic fried chicken was fantastic! I like that they only put legs in the order and the flavor and crunch was perfect. The hot and sour soup was also really good and full of sour hot pepper flavor (and tons of tofu chicken and veggies.) the cha siu was a bit of a disappointment at first but the flavor ended up being great, just not what we expected. Cha siu as an appetizer isn't listed on the menu but we like to eat it with hot mustard so we asked if it was possible to charge us for a box of it. They said yes, but what we got was a huge box of stir fry veggies with about 6 pieces of cha siu. The veggies ended up having the most flavor out of everything we ordered, I'm just not sure how to order them again. Over all this is a decent and very affordable Chinese takeout spot.

If you're starving and not picky at all (and I mean not picky at all), you might feel like you got your money's worth. But quality? That's a completely different story. The food was some of the blandest I've ever had. I even added soy sauce to the rice and it still tasted flat and off. The chicken didn't even really taste like chicken, which was concerning. The orange chicken had this strange flavor -- almost like it had been sitting on orange peels too long, with an odd aftertaste I couldn't ignore. The teriyaki chicken was probably the most tolerable, but it was really fatty. The salt and pepper chicken was just okay -- nothing special. What really says it all: I threw the food away. I've never done that before in my life, especially not with fast food. I didn't even want to save it or share it -- it was that unpleasant. I actually came here because someone at Panda Express recommended "Sherman's," but I think they meant a different location. This one on Pershing completely missed the mark for me. Huge portions, low price... but not worth it.
