    Bok Choi Pork
    Binio L.

    6.11.20 they are allowing limited capacity social distancing eat inside now. Great flavors and value! Very good value dishes. Good prices and portion size. Good different flavors on different entrees, not like some others that everything taste the same even though name and protein is different. Golden buddha has a different flavor for each dish. REALLY GOOD! Quick and friendly service with easy parking and good convenient location.

    The Golden Buddha is a staple in the Okolona community for many years. It has been here for as long as I can remember and I live in Okolona since I was five years old so I've always wanted to try this place and I never got around to it. And now unfortunately I wish I still didn't try it to be honest. I ordered the chicken and rice Kom pow style and it was supposed to be spicy with chicken and rice instead I've basically got a plate full of vegetables unfortunately There was hardly any chicken at all it was just a bunch of vegetables not very spicy at all and just did not come with it. I'm very disappointed and I really had high hopes for this.

    Hot and sour soup
    Karen C.

    My sister and I live this place. Whenever we are in that area together, we eat there. We always get hot and sour soup and egg rolls, but vary our entrees. The soup and egg rolls are great! The egg rolls are very crispy and fresh. The hot and sour soup is both hot and sour! A lot of places mis out on the sour aspect, but Golden Buddha does it perfectly. I have had a variety of entrews there and never had anything bad. Their serving sizes are huge usually. I like their fried rice dishes and lo mein a lot. One of the best features of this place is their prices, they are VERY reasonable. Because the prices are low, they charge for drink refills or crispy noodles for the soup. So, don't be surprised by the up charge. It allows them to keep other costs low. I definitely recommend this place for reasonable and good Chinese. It isn't fancy, just good.

    Twice Cooked Pork
    Jeremy W.

    I have been patronizing this restaurant for years. It's not the best Chinese in the area but is convenient to where I live. I normally just get rice because I'm not a big veggie eater. Well today was the day I tried something new. Today I got the Twice Cooked Pork. When I say off the chain!!!!!!!! I don't know why it took me so long to find this dish. Now I'm sad I didn't try something new sooner.

    Sweet and Sour Chicken

    Long time local favorite. Family business that has been around for as long as I can remember. Ordered four different meals and some noodles. Everything came out fresh, hot , and correct. 1.Gentleman in front of us spilled his tray of drinks - complete accident. It happened at the counter. The lady behind the counter didn't help him or even make him new drinks. Young family with 2 small kids. 2.Lady comes back in after getting a to go order saying an egg roll was missing - Again same lady from behind the counter Argues with her loudly instead of just getting another damn egg-roll. You lost my business again for a long time over that. 3. Older man in the lobby waiting on his to go order - on his phone and she yells Sir at him several times! Seriously how rude, how embarrassing,how disrespectful! We went because this is what my daughter picked for her 19th birthday meal. Hopefully we won't be back again until after she's 20.

    This was the worst Chinese I've ever had. The rice was mushy, food bland, and didn't following instructions on order.

Like... they do not play about portions. And those egg rolls?? Absolutely to die for. Crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The food is consistently hot, which I love, and I can never stay away from the lo mein. My go-to is the Peking chicken--it has the perfect balance of crispiness and sweetness every time. I've tried the honey chicken too, and when it's made right it's really good... but it can be hit or miss. Sometimes it's too hard or doesn't have enough sauce, so I usually stick with the Peking chicken to be safe. Overall, it's one of those spots that just hits every time--especially when you're shopping and need something quick, filling, and actually worth the money

We walked right up but still waited a good 2 minutes to be waited on. Finally a young man asked for here or to go. We said for here. I told him I needed a kids meal and he said "you mean panda cub meal" the correction seemed unnecessary but I said yes. I told him white rice and chicken. He proceeded to put fried rice. I told him white rice and he seemed annoyed but put it back and got white rice. I then asked for a bowl with white rice and once again I needed to correct him because he added fried rice. So he proceeded to make the bowl which is filled completely to the brim with white rice and I kid you not, 5 pieces of orange chicken. I had to add on a side of chicken. I understand that a bowl comes with less meat than a plate but the rice to chicken ration was ridiculous. From the time we walked in to the time we got our food and paid it was every bit of 15 minutes. We finally got to sit and eat and the chicken egg roll my husband ordered was soggy and cold. I went to ask to exchange it for a veggie spring roll and the girl was so rude. Upon my request she said nothing walked over put the spring rolls in a bag and handed them to me. I said thank you and apologized for being an inconvenience and asked if she wanted the chicken egg roll back and she said do whatever you want, rolled her eyes and walked away. On another note I guess panda does not have a break room for their employees. In the middle of our meal an employee took their break and got on their phone like full blast practically screaming. It was rude and made the experience even that much worse. The customer service was rude, the young man clearly was not listening and the food quality was poor. We will not be coming back to this location

Fried Rice with Orange Chicken... and Chow Mein with Black Pepper Steak... Both was delicious.. not wowed but definitely satisfactory... My one complaint would be the vegetables in the Steak mix was slightly too big and the steak ratio was off a little. But that wouldn't stop me from ordering that again. Can't say I have a favorite yet, as I saw other flavors I want to try.

    Storming Crab - Pick 3 Combo

    I went to Storming Crab for the first time in a couple of years (since getting my braces), and let…read moreme just say -- it did not disappoint. We started off with a few appetizers to share between four of us, and they were actually really interesting. I tried this crab cake that had what tasted like another type of crab cake inside of it -- I've never had anything like that before, but it was really good and definitely unique. The honey barbecue wings though? Those were TO DIE FOR. Easily one of my favorite things we ordered. The hushpuppies, on the other hand, were small and pretty mid -- definitely something I could've done without. For the main, we went with the seafood deal, which came out to about $163, and honestly it was still a solid value for how much food you get. It included about a pound each of two different types of crab, two pounds of shrimp, a pound of sausage, corn, potatoes, and two lobsters. And let me tell you -- those lobsters were so juicy and meaty. I've never had lobster like that before. Easily one of the highlights of the whole meal. Just a heads up -- it does not come with eggs, which we didn't realize until we were already eating, so definitely add that if you want it. We got the Cajun seasoning with a hot level, and it was SO good. I learned their house Cajun is basically a mix of all their seasonings, which makes sense because the flavor was hitting. Everything came out super hot and fresh, and we even had leftovers. They say it feeds 4-6 people, but realistically, I'd say it's perfect for about 4 people if you're actually hungry. Drinks were also a highlight. They have $5 lemon drops specifically on Thursdays, which is a great deal. The mango lemon drop was AMAZING -- hands down the best flavor. The passionfruit and strawberry didn't hit the same for me, and just a heads up, some flavors cost an extra dollar, which we weren't told upfront. But I will say -- after a mango and a passionfruit one, it definitely hit. Service overall was good, and you honestly couldn't tell our server was new, but we did have one issue -- we asked multiple times for eggs and they were forgotten. Between the missing add-on, the inconsistency with some of the lemon drop flavors, and that small service slip, it was enough for me to knock off a star. That said, the food, portions, and overall experience were still really strong.

I am not happy with the overall cleanliness and now I have wasted money because I can't even finish this!!
