We thought in tourist season that things would be freshly cooked. Sadly no. $60 on food tonight and none of it was edible. Everything was "mushy" and over cooked. Spicy foods were bland as could be. Hate to see local businesses get rated poorly, but this one seems to be doing everything in their power to earn it. So this is goodbye Golden Gate, I'm sure the tourists will keep you afloat because they won't know any better. I do. Ciao

In the same shopping center as Nick's produce and the Miracle Pub. Nick's has the freshest breads at 10am each day. It feels like a store in Hell's Kitchen, NY. Very good Asian market. The food quality is very good and affordable at Golden Dragon. Portions are hearty. Very good ribs and I like their shrimp and Chinese eggplant. You will not find duck here sadly, I think they would make it great. We have take out nearly once a week from here. Make sure if they are using white meat or dark meat chicken - my wife assumed a dish had breast, it was mostly thigh - I ended up eating it. Good fried rices too.

The romaine in the salad was a bit tough, needed more carrot slivers, but the sesame dressing was delicious. The glazed salmon was moist and flavorful but the spinach, broccoli and mushrooms sautéed in garlic underneath had obviously been sitting on the plate before the salmon was plated, because the vegetables weren't hot. We had to ask for the rice because it was forgotten when our entrees were delivered.

As a family friend of China Express, I have to say that Nicolle C's review is highly vulgar. I have been eating at this place for over 20+ years and no such thing has happened I almost always order at peak hours when Tiffany may be really busy. Nicolle C would you like me to tell the news that you committed chargeback fraud against China Express and how racist you were being towards China Express? Would you tell everyone how you're a white supremacist? I have the video of you yelling racist insults toward Tiffany! read more

A small but amazing Chinese takeout place. Love the owners and the food. I have been coming here for the past 10 years and they never let me down. Nicolle C should be ashamed of the vile and disgusting language she used in her defamation 1-star review. Obviously, she doesn't know how to act in public or represent her entire family what a shame. I will report her review because there is no need for hate like that. read more

Already wrote one review regard the owner Tiffany and she deleted it. Fuvk her and this place. Rudest person in the funking world. Don't spent your money with an owner that doesn't care about her customers. She yelled at my family never again. Next time I go there if I ever do she will be curse out for treating my elderly grandparents like shit. read more
