    hibachi shrimp with white rice, mushrooms, zucchini, and onions.
    Crystal W.

    I stopped in on a whim and enjoyed my meal. The staff was very friendly, the place was clean and had lots of seating, and my order didn't take too long. I ordered the hibachi shrimp with white rice, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini. The portion was a good amount (especially the shrimp), and my only dislike was the shrimp sauce. I'll definitely go back and try their other items on the menu!

    Horrible Bourbon Chicken !!! Wrong flavor and poorly executed.
    Christian B.

    Highly disappointed with the poor representation of what they called Chinese food. It was flavorless, seemed like it was water downed as far as flavor and lacked any freshness. It seemed like it was pre made a day before we got it it. Stay away please so you can enjoy Chinese food else where with real flavor... this place sucks!!!

    3. Egg Roll

    Starting this with a disclaimer that if you are originally from a bigger city or metro, we are from Fort Lauderdale FL, that your standards are going to be high. This is a small(er) town and I imagine that for a period of time maybe more authentic ingredients maybe weren't available. That being said this is purely constructive criticism and it's intention is for the owners in hopes of building a bigger customer base and supporting local business. Timing- I live 8 minutes away, they said it would be ready in 15. By the time I got there the food was bagged and ready. As this may appear to be a good thing, it usually means the food was made before hand and is simply being warmed up. Which is fine for certain items but definitely not everything. I would have rather waited an extra 10 minutes for better over all quality. Tonight we got crab rangoon, egg rolls, pork fried dumplings, egg drop wonton soup, pork fried rice, bourbon chicken and szechuan beef. Crab Rangoon- someone said it in an earlier review. The filling is great, unfortunately we wish there was more of it. Probably one of the better fillings I've ever had. Egg rolls- hot, crunchy and thick. These were good. Pork fried dumplings- Normally when you think of a pork fried dumpling you think of a moist outside casing, I can't think of what it is at the moment, with pan/wok seared sides. That way you achieve different flavor textures. These dumplings appear to have been thrown into a deep fryer. Egg drop wonton soup-The wife said the soup was very tasty, exactly as expected. Pork fried rice(small)- I believe pork is the cheapest meat you can buy and it's packed with flavor. With that being said, as seen in the photo, there might be two small spoon fulls of pork in the fried rice. I get when a business needs to be frugal with certain things especially when it comes to proteins but this was a bit too frugal and disappointing considering we got this for the kid to eat and it was more or less just a serving of rice. Bourbon chicken- To be blunt, I can't tell if they actually gave me bourbon chicken or something else lol. The sauce tastes nothing like bourbon chicken which very wet and thin. This was the consistency of a sweet/sour sauce or even like duck sauce. The chicken looked and tasted very bland. There was no texture to it at all. When you think of bourbon chicken you think of a wet, coating of a semi-sweet/salty sauce that's seared in a wok and there's bits of crust of it or something. I hate to say it but this was disappointing and I would probably go with something else next time. I ended up throwing the chicken in a hot pan and getting a nice sear on it, but still not the same. Szechaun beef- The wife said it tasted like pre packaged beef with spicy tomatoe sauce poured on top. I've never had this before so I can't really gauge what may have been right or wrong with it. While I was there I did see a few people and in out and obviously they get business but I would LOVE to see that business multiply over time and thrive. If that means taking a look at what's going on in the kitchen, reorganization, or new procedure I just want to see local business expand. As I'm sure if the owners see the review they may be a little upset, it's not my intention to hurt feelings but give helpful feedback. I'm on multiple social food pages in the area and everyone is saying how they are craving a new level of Chinese cuisine in Fort Mill/Indian land and this place could provide it for sure with small changes.

    Wonton Soup (I had the hot sauce)
    Liz S.

    Hard to understand if my order was received on phone. However it was ready when my husband got there. Basing it on wonton soup and egg roll, I was very pleased. Nothing fancy- just my go to 'sick' meal and it delivered. Speaking of delivered... wish this place delivered!

    Pretty good Chinese food! I would definitely go back! Courteous service! Good prices. Food was ready in 20 min. Alright with me.

    Super clean restaurant. The owner is very nice. Food is fantastic. You must to try Lo Mein!!! I ordered beef Lo Mein added shrimp.

    Bourbon chicken
    Shaun P.

    Started out with one of the longest waits I've experienced for something as simple as bourbon chicken. One of the appeals of Chinese food is the quickness with which the order is normally completed. This wasn't the case here. For the lunch special being only 5.95 (including a drink) it could be a good deal - but only if your time isn't valuable. For me, waiting in excess of 20 minutes and still not having the food yet is a bit much. The food was about as good as you'd expect an unimpressive Chinese food place to be. If you've never had truly good Chinese food an are used to a mall food court, it will probably taste acceptable. 5.95 for a drink, two semi-okay crab Rangoon and a dish is the draw.

    Honey Chicken Lunch Special with pork fried rice. Egg roll and crab Rangoon.

    My first visit here and I got the lunch special honey chicken with pork fried rice. This seems to be one of the better Chinese places in Fort Mill in my opinion. The honey chicken did taste more like sweet n sour chicken none the less but it was good. The portion is the same as any of the other Chinese restaurants lunch specials. After my husband got food poisoning at Golden China we had to find a new Chinese restaurant. Our go to is Dragon Express in Rock Hill, but this place is good as well and closer to home. The egg roll wasn't the best I've had but cheap. The crab Rangoon was meh, very light on the filling. I'm looking to forward to trying some of their other dishes!

I ordered the sesame chicken dinner, wonton soup and an egg roll. The egg roll was soooooo small...super lint and little. I co my s from a place where one egg roll can be shared by two people. Thick and super stuffed. Forget that. It doesn't exist here. The mini egg roll was dry and you couldn't even tell what was in it. The wonton soup broth had a great flavor but the wontons were not fresh. They were gummy in a creepy kinda way. Frozen with freezer burn was my best guess. The sesame chicken was super super super OVERFRIED. Dry as a bone inside. This had clearly been pre fried and then fried again and dipped in a sticky sauce with weird texture. Kind of tasted like sesame chicken but the texture of the sauce and the dry chicken were disgusting. I spit it out. This place is a nicer version of Panda Express. If you like Panda Express .....bless your hearts than you might love this place. Those of us who have been exposed to amazing Chinese food at super cheap prices are not loving the Chinese food offerrings here in the Carolina's. Yuck

We got there early and the place was already packed with folks ordering take out, as well as starting to sit for dinner. The service was not impacted whatsoever. We ordered appetizers of edamame, miso soup, and crab Rangoon which all came out quickly and was delicious. The kids easily split the sweet and sour chicken and chicken lo mein which is their absolute favorite. My husband ordered the super boost roll and said it was incredible. I ordered the rainbow roll and it was also perfectly done. We were all stuffed, and my kids are already begging us to come back again soon. We will certainly be back again soon to try something else since the menu has so many options.

Are they really reviews or simply comments? When friends/family talk to me about Yelp and being an Elite reviewer, I have a simple response. Read the reviews of Elite level reviewers FIRST. These are individuals who have traveled on business or pleasure and used the reviews to select where they want to eat while traveling. Typically you will get a reviews that's based on a wide range of previous experience across the State or States and even Internationality. I've been living in Fort Mill/Rock Hill area going on 5 years and I have tried dozens of chinese, japanese, korean and asian fusion restaurants and markets. I can now say that Golden China has the best quality of food. They also excel in price, selection and service. They are family owned and operated.

All the ingredients; chicken, beef, shrimp and broccoli are fresh and taste great! They have a great selection on their menu, reasonable prices, great portion sizes and the place is clean and the Staff is professional and friendly.

The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served! I have eaten here many times and I have tried virtually everything on the menu. With that said, here is my take on it. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! For cold appetizers, I am a big fan of the Black Fungus W. Vinegar Sauce, Cold Spicy Sour Cucumber and the Spicy Beef Tendon. For hot appetizers, everyone raves about the Popcorn Chicken and I concur that it's very good! I really like the Frled Pork Gyoza too. For the main course, they have some rice dishes, but the main focus is the hot pot soups. They bring out a 300°F Stone bowl of broth (in an insulated pot holder) and the ingredients to put in it. You put the meat and lettuce in first, then the other ingredients and the noodles last then wait for "10 seconds"thus the name of the restaurant. I have tried all of the broths and they are all good depending on your tastes. The original broth is the bass broth. Then they add things to the other others to differentiate them. My favorites are the Tomato Soup (especially with Beef Flank) and Spicy Soup. If you like things VERY spicy, they can bring you some cut Thai peppers. The wait staff are patient are very helpful in guiding patrons. They understand that this is a new experience for them. They also pay attention to their customers eating habits. One time when I went in, they noticed that I added lots of chili peppers and chili oil to my food. That's when she said she could bring me some very hot fresh chili peppers. Charlotte is truly blessed to have so many great authentic Chinese body shops popping up all over town! I highly recommend this place! Cheers!
