Ordered over the phone for chicken lo mein, orange chicken and two sets of crab rangoon. the orange chicken did not have much in the container. The lo mein had no sauce and needed salt which i didn't think possible for chinese food. I was either over charged or there is forced gratuity. Paid $50.55 for the order. read more

I've been going here for years. Their pho is absolutely banging. it's my comfort food.

Just not a good pick up order experience. Got a vegetable lo mein order wrong - they put meat in it :( so had to call and pick up an order done right. Food is just mid too especially for the 15+ dollar prices for what yah get. Idk i don't like doing bad reviews but this wasn't it, chief. read more

I enjoyed the food and the service was quick. The shrimp was yummy and not overcooked. Good flavors and spices. Rice was nice and good consistency. They delivered in a timely way and it was pretty reasonable in price. My chicken dish was great too. We also enjoyed the eggrolls and sauce. read more

Got the mussels and pho. Mussels were great tasting but small for the price. Pho was great tasting but lacked content for the price. There were maybe a total of 4 meatballs all cut up in the bowl and it was a $12 bowl of pho. Not really worth it in my opinion. We also had to wipe the table ourselves. Mediocre overall. won't be back. read more

I love the Pho and the Vietnamese egg rolls! Best I've had to date. It's usually a pretty quiet atmosphere, which is nice. Lots of regulars. Friendly and helpful staff. Consistently great food and service. read more

I'm annoyed at my Chinese restaurant right now and my Co-worker swears by this place so I decided to try it out. Carryout takes a little longer here due to the chef is a perfectionist. If it isn't perfect it'll be scrapped and started over. So make sure you plan for 35 minutes for your food. I ordered General Tso chicken and some Crab Ragoons. The General Tso was very good. A little spicier than my normal place but very very good. The crab ragoons were also very good. My only complaint was not enough sweet and Sour sauce with it. Overall I'd give 5 stars. Would I return? Yes, very soon. Well this revoew changed fast. I ordered the General Tso and an eggroll. About half of the chicken was super tough. The good half tasted very good though. Also the eggroll is nowhere near as good as my normal place. I am dropping my rating down to 3 1/2 stars. I am going to give them the benefit of doubt and round up to 4. read more

My eternal quest for quality Pho Ga led me to Golden 28 one evening for dinner. I was thrilled when I saw all of the 4 and 5 star reviews on Yelp. Alas, my experience and their Pho Ga leave much to be desired. As far as I could tell, their Pho Ga is served with a beef broth - not a chicken broth. And as far as broth goes - it just was not that flavorful. The chicken was tender and the noodles were not clumped, and the veggies/aromatics were fresh. I did have to request sliced Jalapeños as they did not provide any on the dish. So they did bring some out - although they were some of the mildest I've had in a long time - not much heat. I ended up applying a lot Sriracha sauce to individual bites and to the broth to give it some real flavor. They have a wide range of other menu items. Service was very good. read more

Been too long since I've been back here. Use to frequent this spot all the time for Pho. Came back randomly the other day and I'm gonna be honest when I say you can't get a better bowl of pho in GR. And if you know a place please let me know. Broth is clear and aromatic. First sip and it's nostalgic. You know it's gonna be a good bowl. Nothing else is needed to be added u to the bowl. Service however could be faster and in the two times I've went back in past week, both times plates came out dirty to us. read more

I was recently told that Golden 28 has better Pho than Far East Restaurant. I would have to agree. The Pho has a more fresh taste, possibly due to the broth or ingredients. Also excellent on the menu are the spring rolls and vietnamese egg rolls. The service a good and food comes out pretty quick. If you are looking for great Vietnamese food, try the Golden 28 restaurant. read more

This is not a bad place but with so many choices, it's not at the top of any list. Too many other good options. The food was rather bland. All tofu and vegetarian dishes are served in beef or chicken sauce. That means there are no vegetarian options. The restaurant was generally dirty as were our dishes. Vegetables were fresh as was the chicken and fish dishes. We had Vegetable Delight, Chicken and Broccoli and Shrimp and Scallops. All three dishes were in the same sauce. I did pick up a hint of mint leaf in the vegetable delight but other than that, mostly bland. read more

We were in Grand Rapids for the day and we wanted something that we didn't have in Ann Arbor, which is good Vietnamese food. Golden 28 popped up first on Yelp and the reviews were helpful in making a sound decision to come here for lunch. My boyfriend had a vermicelli dish with pork chop, shrimp, and an egg roll. I had a rice plate with pork chop, an egg, and shredded pork (#140). I was thrilled when the server asked me if I wanted plain white rice or broken rice. Broken rice? For real? That's an option IN Michigan? In addition, we also ordered a bowl of pho to share (#9) and it was also very good. I can't express how happy the food made me. I grew up in Cali and am used to having places like Golden 28 lining up busy streets and for a moment I was temporarily transported back again. No major complaints about this place at all except that it's on the west side of the state. I wish there was one in Ann Arbor... read more

Golden 28 - #140: Rice with grilled pork chop, egg, pickled veggies, and shredded pork. - Vietnamese Near Me - Wyoming, Michigan

A warning here, don't go by the Website prices. I realize that food costs have risen, and restaurants have struggled to stay open; however, I believe in complete transparency with pricing. We ordered off this restaurant's Website and thought the prices listed would be what we would pay. Our order cost about $30.00 more than the prices listed. I called to ask why and the owner/manager said the website prices are about 20 years old. They haven't had time to update. Food was marginal, and I received one scallop in my soup. We like to support local, but I also want to know how much I am paying upfront and good food. Many other places have much better food and upfront pricing. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! This place is a rip off not to mention rude and they don't give you hardly any food. Lunch for 3 just cost me $50. Their online prices are almost double what they say. I ordered Broccoli and beef. I got 3 pieces of broccoli and 2 pieces of beef and about 2 lbs of white rice (not fried as advertised) No soup as advertised either. I called they hung up on me. I called back and they blew me off. If i wasn't at work I'd throw the food right back at them and demand a refund! read more

I visited this restaurant based on yelp reviews. I moved to Grand Rapids 3 years ago from San Francisco and have been missing delicious Asian food so much. I finally found an Asian restaurant that knows how to make delicious food. I had an egg roll and pho. It was served very hot and was so delicious. My spouse had vietnamese egg rolls and a spicy noodle dish that was amazing. This place does not look like much from the outside, but don't let that bother you, it is without a doubt the best asian food you will find in GR. This will be my go-to for Asian cuisine. Update: The last time I was in here, it smelled like cat urine. It was so unpleasant that I could not enjoy my dinner. I won't be returning. read more

Yelp says this restaurant delivers, but it actually doesn't. DO NOT use Yelp, Grub Hub, or Uber Eats to get your food "delivered" to you. Those services take money from the business and they end up losing money. read more

Love the food, every time we order food or dine in, the staff is wonderful and the food is fresh and fabulous. My husband and I enjoy their Pho. Every bowl comes with fresh veggies. Each dish keeps you coming back for more. read more

I should have known better than to eat here. Nobody was in the parking lot and even less people inside of the restaurant. The food was so terrible. I do not recommend read more

Pho,my weakness,my love. It's so amazingly good here,I find myself visiting way more than I should. I actually can only review the pho because I haven't tried anything else. The add on's are always so fresh too. I've dined in numerous times & the employees are very kind every time. Not a bad experience yet. Most of the time I get it to go without calling ahead and the wait is never long. No complaints from me,keep it up! read more

The best Pho in town (especially the Pho Ga). I go there for Vietnamese food often - love the owners - my wife and I usually get Chinese Broccoli, Spring Rolls, and large Pho Ga with all the trimmings. Go, Enjoy. Haiku: Basil, culantro, lime, sprouts, Sriracha , chopsticks and a big spoon, - okay, bring it on read more

I love going here, nice pho, spring rolls, and vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da). You definitely get your money's worth. I don't know what the other people are complaining about but I got great customer service. Maybe they hired new people. read more

We ordered to go. The food was really good. Flavorful and fresh. I hate when my broccoli is over cooked and they did a perfect job on making it just right which a slight crunch. I will say this, they don't have to go menus and online it says Tuesday-Friday you get a soup, egg roll and fried rice but this is not an option for to go orders. I will definitely been going back during the week to try out the freebies!!!! read more

Golden 28 - Shrimp and broccoli - Vietnamese Near Me - Wyoming, Michigan

Absolutely PHENOMENAL! Ever since I tried their pho.. I can't stay away from this place! If you've never had pho.. and you find yourself in this restaurant.. ORDER IT! I promise you, it will not disappoint even the pickiest of eaters. (It is an absolute MUST to add a little of the sriracha sauce to your pho). They have many different variations, but I always get the #7 (the rare stake pho). Portions are huge, and at a mere $5.95... you can't beat a lunch or dinner at that price! The broth is intoxicating and the ingredients are extremely fresh and delicious. If you are a chinese food lover, they have an extensive menu - I've only taken a bite of a few different things, and all were very good and fresh tasting. Highly reccomend! read more

Now, I'm a Sou. Cal local stuck in what is mostly a mono-cultured Grand Rapids. (I mean the best "restaurants" happens to be mostly bars in this town) And, yes being a Sou Cal local I've probably tried more Pho Ga than I can count, and Golden 28 comes to par with all these other places. Is it the best Pho I've ever had, no. Is it one of the only few Pho places in the West Michigan area that does it decently? Yes. It's probably why I'll be going back. As well, it helps me when the restaurant has that air of authenticity to it, they give chop sticks to their customers (instead of forks and knifes first), and on Sundays there are entire Vietnamese families lined up outside the restaurant waiting to get in. read more

Lets start off by saying I never like to leave a bad review. I genuinely appreciate the blood, sweat and tears that go into opening and running your own business, and the thought of breaking down anyones spirit saddens me. That be said, there would be no sense in having a Yelp account if I would not state my honest opinion. I have actually had two different Vietnamese families live on my block, and any time I get the chance, I try out a different restaurant in hopes of finding another favorite. My point is, I know Vietnamese food pretty well and I know what to expect. This restaurant appears clean, with several tables and booths and a brown colorscheme on the walls it slightly reminds me of a *nice* diner/family-coney restaurant. Which is not bad, but it certainly doesnt scream Vietnamese. We ordered the fresh springrolls, which I thought were pretty decent..however, my husband had to stop eating after a few bites as he stated it smelled funky. I believe the term he used was `rotten crotch`. Onto the entrees, I ordered rice with a porkchop, egg and shredded pork. DH went for a dish described as chicken with lemongrass and a spicy sauce with peanuts over noodles. Unfortuntely the chicken was very dry, there was absolutely no lemongrass to be detected and the sauce was..lacking. Combine these factors and he was left with bland, rubbery chicken over dry noodles. He kept asking me where the peanuts were so i pulled out my utensils to dig a few up from the bottom of his bowl. These couple of peanuts were the highlight of his dinner. For real. My dinner was just that, rice with shredded pork, a fried egg and a pork chop. The rice was..well, rice, and the shredded pork was dry and bland. The reason I "awarded" the restaurant two stars, is because the pork chop was actually enjoyable. read more

Pho tai here is pretty decent. It is better than getting pho at Far East.

The menu is nearly overwhelming. Golden 28 specializes in Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese food. There are many pages but everything is clearly explained. My mouth is watering. It takes more than a few minutes before we see our waitress again; she is busily working other lunchtime tables. Finally, she delivers water and takes our order. Unwisely, we opt to start with the Appetizer Tray for Two, hoping it will be a panacea to our grumbling stomachs. A platter arrives with fried wonton, fried crab rangoon, fried egg rolls, and fried Vietnamese egg rolls. Do you get the picture? It is our own fault for not examining the individual appetizers more closely. I wanted those light spring rolls wrapped in rice paper, not a deep fried smorgasbord! Still, each of the items is quite tasty, and when dipped into the bowl of sweet-n-sour plum sauce, even more so. I even enjoy the crab rangoon, from which I typically shy away. For our main dishes, we each choose a different variety of Pho (there are over 20 different varieties on the menu). Ever since seeing Anthony Bourdain wax poetic about this dish on No Reservations, I've been dying to try it. Juliet goes with the Dac Biet and Bo Vien, which is steak, brisket, tendon, trip and beef ball. The beef ball isn't what you think; it's a kind of meat sausage formed by hand into little balls. I decide to try the Beef and Chicken (which I think is Dac Biet and Dac Ga, if I remember correctly). Each comes in a very large bowl, thin slices of meat swimming in a fatty, savory broth, steeped in hand-cut rice noodles. Another plate sits between us with fresh Thai basil (still on the stems), lime wedges, bean sprouts, and tiny whole green chilies. I quickly dress up my Pho, mixing everything and preparing to take a bite when... Oh no! The waitress mixed our two dishes! No worries; we quickly swap. I bravely wield the chopsticks (not my strong suit), snagging bits of chicken and beef, along with long strands of dripping, spattering noodles. My first couple tastes are underwhelming. It just tastes like soup, really, with some thin, dry cuts of meat. This is what Tony loves so much? I feel disappointment encroaching. Good things come to those who wait. I think I read that somewhere. As I forge ahead, it becomes clear the Pho is only just started to come alive. The broth becomes more tantalizing; the fresh chili and Sriracha elevate the heat; the meat is rendered tender, and the thin, bumpy slices of tripe (cut thin to mimic the noodles) lose their disconcerting crunch. Though I had gone haltingly into that bowl of Pho, now my chopsticks clicked like chef's blades sharpening. I bring the ladle-spoon utensil to bear now, scooping up great steaming puddles of the broth, drinking it down. Wow. Just wow. I finish my iced Vietnamese coffee and gaze forlornly at the remainder of the unfinished Pho. My belly is full. I am content. So while the appetizer tray was definitely a mistake, the Pho is worth waiting for. Fresh ingredients and authentic preparation more than make up for slightly slow service and typical Asian restaurant decor. I will be enjoying Pho for lunch more often. Don't take my word for it, though; check out video and what my better half has to say about our culinary adventure on our website (linked in my profile)! read more

Excellent Pho! Got the number 3 and finished every drop of the huge portion. They have about 40 types of Pho and a huge menu with all your favorite Chinese dishes. The staff was very nice, the service was fast, and the food was excellent. I'd highly recommend it. read more

Golden 28 - Vietnamese Near Me - Wyoming, Michigan

Golden 28 has been stepping up their game! I used to dine at this spot regularly back then but I was noticing the pho broth becoming saltier each time I went and thus not returning until recently. My friend recommended Golden 28 when I was looking for a pho place to eat since I wanted to try something new. Before coming here, I used to go to Pho Anh Trang until my parents noticed that their broth was tasting different. I haven't been to Golden 28 for YEARS and so I decided to return to see if they were still the same or not. The soup was great! Not too bland, not too salty, but just right! If you're looking for a spot to eat authentic viet food then I HIGHLY recommend this spot! read more

So I have been going here pretty religiously for the past two years, and decided it was time for a review. I've only ordered the pho and kimchi from here, because I loooooove me some good pho. And this is the best place for pho I've been too in western Michigan, this place is just so good this has become a popular hangout spot for me and my friends. The service is good, a pretty chill and quiet atmosphere. And overall, some mind blowing pho. I will always keep coming back to this place and always leave happy. read more

As many say. Yes best Pho, I've had so far. I always order too much, but that's my own fault. General Chicken and Pho is what I usually get and both are really good. Too big of portions to finish but still. I try. read more

Unfortunately I had to put a star. It doesn't deserve one. This is the absolute worst food I've ever eaten. I took 1 bite of the chicken and broccoli, one bite of the beef and vegetables, one bite of the chicken fried rice, ate 1 crab Rangoon and threw all 30$ worth of this junk in the trash. This place is way over priced and is not cooked well at all. They should pay you to eat this food it is so bad. read more

Golden 28 - Where it belongs. - Vietnamese Near Me - Wyoming, Michigan

Well I guess it was just a bad day or something from the other reviews, but I had a horrible time here. We came in as a group of 5 ( all of us are Vietnamese mind you ) and I would say that we were treated like we weren't even there. So service was already bad for us, but to make matters worse we came in an hour before they're closing time and they have stopped making anything with rice in it. So for any dish that came with rice they replaced it with noodles. Talk about disappointing... The waitress was a friend of mine so we planned on tipping her well. Only to find that the owner charged us extra for the noodles that was substituted for the rice. Food was mediocre at best. Service was almost nowhere to be found. If you're looking for great Pho and other Vietnamese/Chinese cuisine I encourage you to go elsewhere. read more

Golden 28 is my go to place when I'm looking for take-out while I'm at home and dont' want to drive far. They have a very large menu and I have not been dissapointed when I have ordered. My wife and son like it and he is kinda picky. They have great pho. read more

Golden 28 is very good. It is reasonably priced, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious. It is probably my second favorite chinese place that I have been to in Grand Rapids. I have only had their chinese, but it is very good. The service can be on the slower side, but it is always friendly. read more

So this place has awesome pho. So last week I brought a friend and slit a bowl ,plus got some orange chicken. Half way through the soup the famous cliche happened. There was a fly in my soup! I was horrified. I called the waitress over and showed her. She took the soup off the bill , but still charged us for the other dish. It's a shame because this place is close to my house, but I will not be returning. read more
