    Hair

    I ordered a to-go plate from here and was completely grossed out to find a hair in my food. Finding foreign objects in a meal ruins the experience and raises serious questions about kitchen sanitation and quality control. I won't be coming back.

    Everything... except my wife's Orange Chicken...

    I am a long time fan of this Abacus Inn (59th Ave Location)... lately it seems the food is going the wrong direction and attention to detail is suffering. Tonight we ordered take-out... The hot & Sour Soup was cold and very skimpy on the protein. The Egg Food Young is horrible now... I don't know why I keep ordering it, thinking it will change.... Remember when these joints would make it fresh with the ingredients cooked into the patty?? Now the over cook something and top it with a couple pieces of protein and charge $20, calling it Egg Food Young... What happened?? Lastly, the restaurant completely forgot our Orange Chicken. I felt terrible for my wife... UGH!! They check stuff off on the kitchen receipt and it wasn't even checked off!!! Come on people, do better!!! For as much as you are charging, mistakes like these are unacceptable... If anyone knows of a decent Chinese joint, message me!!! Bonus if they make real Egg Food Young Young...

    Orange beef lunch special

    First off, their website is janky as their menu page is a poorly taken picture of their actual menu instead of it being actually listed out like every other restaurant menu. They really need to change that. Note that despite its small nature, it's a sit down restaurant. So we sat down and never got service. So instead, I just went to the front desk to order to-go. They have lunch specials from 11:00am-4:00pm. I got the orange beef with no onions; lunch specials come with two fried wontons, a small cup of fried rice, and an egg roll. This cost me $13.17. The fortune cookie, fried wontons, and egg roll all tasted stale. The orange beef (which somehow still tasted like chicken) was the best part of the meal and the fried rice was average. Just like the workers forgot that we were customers when we sat down, I too feel like the food here is forgettable.

    BRING BACK THE GOOD EGG ROLLS!! i am so disappointed with this remodel and "revamp". as soon as i walked in and it had weird art and modern style decor i know it was going to be a trip. we have been coming here for at least 15 years... the hot and sour soup was goopy and not very hot or sour. all of our plates were mostly onions. the only positive i have is that the fried rice is an improvement in my opinion. now the egg rolls... my family and i would come here and just get the eggs rolls and soup. the eggs rolls were half the size and complete mush in the middle. honestly it looked like weird chicken salad in the middle. won't be coming back here again. and it hurts my soul to say that.

    I had the Singapore Rice Noodle dish and it was spot on. So, so good. I only wish they had the banana crisp like the other location but I can't get the Singapore Mei Fun at the 35th Ave location. Hard to decide which one is better! Service was flawless. I will forever alternate between their 2 locations.

    beef broccoli, chicken chow mein and large side of rice  we had crab puffs too but we ate that

    Golden Dragon is a small very casual take out type Chinese Restaurant located in Glendale. It is…read moreextra casual here. You order, pay at the counter and grab your beverage from the refrigerator. Your meal is packed in styrofoam so you either take out or eat in at one of the few tables inside. Parking is very easy because they are at the end of a strip mall in a big parking lot. Our food was very fresh. Portions were very large. The chicken in our dishes was masterfully moist and very tender. The food is a very good value if you like it. We ordered the yui shan chicken and the garlic chicken combos (only around $1. more to get soup, crab puff, egg roll and an upgrade from white rice to fried rice.) Based on only trying two dishes my conclusion is that they serve Arizona Style American Chinese Food. It is far less complex, less flavorful, and much less spicy than east coast American take out Chinese Food. It's not bad food in anyway so if you are from Arizona it is very good food. We started eating at the restaurant but I got the idea that I could take the food home and improve it for my taste. The food stayed piping hot and it did taste much better with just a spoonful of chili crisp added more flavors and some needed heat. The people working there seemed very nice and the restaurant looked sparkling clean. 3 stars is a positive review and means A-OK on Yelp. Give this place a try if you are good with Arizona Style Take Out Chinese Food.

The service is quick and convenient for a pick up. People are constantly picking up orders. I've eaten there as well, it's a very clean place. I just rather order ahead and take it home with large portions. The people are very nice. I recommend this place for Chinese food.

    Lots of parking, and it's not too far from my house. A win is a win…read more Service was very friendly. There's not a whole lot of decor to the place, but it's calm and unassuming. If you need to hold a conversation with someone, the music isn't too loud preventing that. Music was a mix, they did have "Golden" in the mix and ngl, I had to force myself not to sing along. They have lunch specials, even on Sundays. It's a great way to try a lot of options for cheaper. The lunch menu comes with a generous size entree, 2 scoops of fried rice, egg drop soup, a veggie spring roll and a fried cream cheese wonton. I got a few items, and we had so much food it's still in the fridge. Walnut shrimp was crispy, sauce wasn't overly sweet, nice crunch from the candied walnuts. You get a good portion. The shrimp was not overcooked. Yum. 8/10 Shrimp with lobster sauce, it was a little salty for me but had a nice mix of veggies, and the sauce didn't have too much cornstarch, so it wasn't gelatinous like at some places. Nice flavors though. Nothing overpowering. 6/10 Beef Chow Fun -not on the lunch menu but I literally get it at every Chinese place that has it. The rice noodles were not overcooked, beef was seasoned well and tender, not chewy. 10/10 would get that again. Hot and sour soup was pretty good. I could stand for it to have more "sour" to it. The flavors were a bit mellow for me. I like a more aggressively flavored hot and sour soup. Not bad though. 6.5/10 Mongolian beef. Nice tender beef, well cooked and seasoned. Good beef to onion ratio. 8/10. Chicken with mushrooms-saucy, full of veggies with a mild brown sauce. They had zucchini in it, and I love zucchini and mushrooms together. There was a lot of chicken, and it was seasoned well, not too salty. Definitely tasty. 8/10. Would I be back? Probably. I'm glad I found this spot. I've driven by it plenty, it's one you don't want to miss though!
