    Food is okay, lots of breading in every dish. They do a good job about picking up the pates of food from the table. However they start charging dinner prices before the posted time. Place looks clean.

    Saw the sign on the corner and we'd found our place for lunch. Now I'm always a bit sketch... Surprisingly new, clean, and apportioned with a good selection of Chinese and American foods. Pay as you enter Styrofoam plats & cup, plastic utensils, chop sticks too. Start with lettuce, and raw vegetables there is seasonal fruit melon. Some sushi roll, Ca roll, shell on shrimp & cray fish. looks good abit small in portion but plentyful Soda, Iced tea, water...a good selection of hot meats, chicken, mystery fish, mushrooms, broccoli etc...and chow mein noodles and two types of rice. Further down the line you'll find sliced pizza, chicken nuggets, fish sticks pot stickers, pot stickers. This is not a high quality foods but its all very fresh. Great for a large party or just us three and the price is right. Foodguy-Martin

    Very oily chow mein, mediocre fried rice and old hard chewing orange chicken.  Bad.

    This place is probably the worst Chinese buffet I've ever been to. All the food were just warm exception the potstickers were surprisingly hot. I was initially excited when the worker brought out a new batch of broccoli beef and their chicken mushrooms dish but as I scooped some on my plate and taste it as I sat down I was super annoyed. The food that just came out from the kitchen was warm, like seriously. Terrible. Never ever again..

    Came to Golden China Buffet for a reception. The restaurant can fit quite a bit of folks, and there is plenty of parking. The staff did a good job of keeping the entrees full and fresh. They also did a good job of cleaning after us hungry reception folks. Foodwise, the stuff I tried was mostly fine. They have most of the usual suspects one would expect to find at any Chinese Buffet. Nothing stood out, but we were all pleased with Golden China Buffet.

    This place should be given NO stars review but apparently I have to give it at least one to leave a review. This place is horrible, every single thing I tried was disgusting. I couldn't even eat any of the food, thats how bad it was. I really don't know how this place is even open. If you enjoy good food don't come here.

    Nice chocolate fountain that I wish had strawberries or bananas instead of marshmallows but that's okay.

    We recently visited this small grocery store and brought my mom to look around…read more Even though this store is little, we absolutely loved it. It's not very busy, but I hope and wish this store prospers through the years. The sisters that own this store are very sweet. They were very nice to my mom and helped her with all the jewelry she was interested in. As we looked around the store, it seems like they have a few regulars who visit the store since the sisters seemed to know all the customers walking in. A lot of these customers were more interested in the viral ice creams and if there were any new flavor. A lot of items sold here are very affordable. If you were to buy the same items at other nearby Asian stores, you would be able to see the price difference. They have a lot of Asian essentials here, so if you need something you should check it out because the prices are great! Staff is great and there's tons of parking too!

    I love their selection for the grocery area. They have lots of really tasty, niche, unique and fun…read moreitems. Anime buffs should go shop there for sure. As for the restaurant side, I ordered the fried chicken (Spicy) and fried dumplings. They were out of the fish balls. Definitely enjoyed them both. And the price point was spot on. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was chill. I walked around the store several times while waiting for my food and spotted new items I wanted to try at each pass. I'll be coming back whenever I'm back in town.

    The girl behind the counter, Lydia was friendly and helpful. She said hello as soon as I walked in…read more When I asked about a dish that wasn't out yet she said they could make it for me, I didn't even know that was an option, so happy to get exactly what I came for! The restaurant was clean and cool, which is nice in a warm day! Food all looked fresh and mine definitely was!

    Heard about this place on IG... So I thought I would give it a try. I was super excited to go in…read moreand try since the review on IG sounded like the food was amazing. The place is like your standard Chinese takeout restaurant, where you have premade dishes, ready to be served with white rice, fried rice, or chow mein noodles. The menu has standard items such as orange chicken, general, chicken, chicken, teriyaki, honey, walnut, shrimp, honey, chicken, mushroom chicken, and so. They also offer egg rolls, cream, cheese, wontons, and soup. What stands out about this place is that they offer a catering menu, unlike some of the other homegrown Chinese takeout places. The restaurant itself is very clean although had a strong smell of Fabuloso and the tables in the floors were a bit sticky. They have one singular bathroom and it was clean. The person who took my order was very nice, friendly, and professional. She was very eager to give me a taste of the entrées in case I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat and I thought that was very cool. I purchased a bowl with half fried rice and half chow mein, and one entrée. For my entrée chose the honey shrimp. my meal came with a fountain drink so that was good. The entrée is $9.99 however, because I got the shrimp, it was a little bit extra. I wish I had gone when the IG people were there doing their reel... Because my food didn't taste anything like how they described it. The honey shrimp was very tasty and the shrimp was cooked perfectly however, every now and then I would get a huge puffy piece. I was not impressed with the fried rice nor the chow mein. I was expecting it to have a wok-seared flavor, like how it was described by the couple doing the reel on IG. For me, it was very plain, in fact, at one point, I thought the chow mein noodles were spaghetti noodles. While the meal satisfied my hunger, since it was dinner time, I likely will not be going back... Sorry, peeps I still have not found good Chinese food in Bakersfield. I hope you have a different experience, and if you do, enjoy!

    It's on 4th and Union But don't let that scare you off…read moreThe staff was wonderful My tea was never empty The dining room is clean & comfortable The food is still amazing. Nothing was oily (way better than fast food Chinese) I went for a lunch with my sister Everything was tasty! Lots of variety of flavors. Can't wait to return for the dinner menu.

    We have been going to Great Castle for over 40 years. It's been our favorite!…read more This is our 3rd visit since they changed ownership and we were really disappointed in the food. The pan fried dumplings were fine, although the filling was reddish colored with little spice. Added the dumpling sauce, reluctantly, because the containers did not look recently cleaned. My most favorite dish, House Special Shrimp, was way off. It looked and tasted like Sweet and Sour Shrimp. The vinegar taste was strong, overwhelming any taste but sweetness. It used to have a savory brown glaze, garlic and mild spiciness. This dish did not. We also had garlic chicken, which was probably the best dish we ordered. Our plate had a few pieces of thinly sliced chicken, but the majority of chicken we were served were 'bits.' Hard to tell the minced garlic from the chicken bits. The fresh onion and bell peppers were great, but cut too big and overwhelmed the chicken bits. Prices at restaurants have gone up, up, up! Now we're being charged for tea & white rice that had been included in every meal for the last 40+ years?!?! Last but not least!, the floors are dirty and there's dust everywhere. place is dusty & dirty. I don't recall it ever being this dirty. I was looking forward to the House Special Shrimp and a delicious Chinese meal. I was very disappointed
