Dropped in on Sunday for a first-time lunch at Golden China in Covington. The location is…read moreattractive, but although neat and tidy, interior decor and ambiance is quite dark and somewhat dated. A refresh needed, perhaps? Service was friendly, efficient, and extremely personable. My wife and I had the sweet and sour chicken snd garlic chicken, respectively. Both were quite good, although accompanying egg rolls were a little overdone. Egg drop soup and sweet and sour soup were both quite good. All in all, Golden China is a good spot for traditional Chinese-American food.

Every single dish my family had was terrible…read more The beef and broccoli tasted old and had canned mushrooms. It says everything is made fresh. Doubtful. My son had BBQ pork which was dry and had no flavor. The crab rangoon tasted off like the cream cheese went bad. I threw almost everything away after a few bites except the egg drop which had no color and I refused to eat because my husband said it tasted like hard boiled soup in dishwater. Total for everything was $80. Should have just gone to Trey Yuen. Save your money. Whoever writes the other reviews doesn't know good Chinese food.

It's been quite a while since I've been in here, but my friends all tell me I gotta come back...and…read morethe one I had dinner with tonight insisted on it! My buddy and his wife asked me out to dine - I had my heart set on some pho, but when I got here, I had a hankering for vermicelli. I like mine with egg roll AND grilled pork - if you haven't done it, do it - for real. The presentation was different from what I was used to - a flatter, wider bowl, the pork thin sliced, almost julienned, but everything was fresh - crunchy where it was supposed to be, hot and charred/fried when needed, and it really hit the spot. Fish sauce and a generous serving of sriracha, and I was home. Steve's wife got the dumplings, and he had a giant plate of something or other with soup, but he also polished off some of Alicia's food while we were there. I remember this dude from college - I was the fat kid, but I sure couldn't hang with this dude's stomach! Our server was so super awesome and cute, but I forgot to get her name. She couldn't say Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, but neither could I, so there. Very attentive, got our food out hot and delicious, and was a wonderful host. If you're hankering for some Vietnamese or Chinese food, but can't decide - here's your sign! Seriously, though - excellent food, terrific service, amazing company, and a full belly made for the perfect night. Can't wait to see where you pick next, my friend!

Our waitress was fantastic--she offered us water, gave us thoughtful recommendations, and really seemed to care about making sure we enjoyed our meal. The food I ordered ended up being amazing--fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the best dishes I've had in a while. But what really set this visit apart was the owner. Not only did he come out to greet us, but when we accidentally spilled a drink (embarrassingly), he made a light-hearted joke, turned the moment into a laugh, and insisted on cleaning it up himself even though we tried to take care of it. To top it all off, he offered us 10% off the next time we come in. I even joked that I'd buy him lunch for all the trouble, and he just laughed and said, "No--lunch will be on us next time!" You really don't get that kind of hospitality everywhere. Amazing people, incredible food, and a genuinely memorable night. North Empress has definitely earned a return visit!

I went in a few days ago and it was a little questionable from the start with the two small bars of food but we gave it a shot.

And i've never done this before but i couldn't justify eating and spending any money there so we left. It was also not the cleanest and the cook brought a pan out and it looked like he just put it on top of the older or threw the older out in not sure. But please do not stop here.

I ordered the Mongolian beef, honey chicken, egg rolls and fried rice. The beef was mushy and tasted so strongly of black pepper; nothing like I was expecting and hoping for. The chicken had good flavor, but there was just so much sauce, it was a soggy sponge by the time we tried it. The egg rolls were delicious I will say so I am hoping that maybe I just ordered the wrong items.
