    THE AROMA!!!! Smells so good in here! This is such a beautiful place and it was so nice and quiet until one of the customers came in here hollering at the lady behind the desk I swear she has to have the upmost amount of patience because this lady was literally talking to her as if she couldn't understand what she was saying saw the lady was literally sitting there explaining how she could understand her.... Then the customer proceeded to change your order for different times and got mad because there was a lot of confusion on why her order was $30.... That lady definitely has more patience than I do because I would've told that customer to decide her meal highlight or some thing and then come back...smh some people are so difficult for no reason... after she ordered she proceeded to talk on her phone on speakerphone...smh Anyway! Other than her (lady behind the counter) fantastic patients.... The restaurant was clean and every table had salt pepper and soy sauce there was no shortage of condiments that you may have needed or straws or napkins! I also was in love with the decor my favorite one was the giant blue orchid painting that was on the wall. As far as how the food tasted I ordered the vegetable seafood soup and it was very flavorful and definitely had an abundance jampacked of vegetables and some seafood. My daughter ordered the wonton soup and it was delicious she had absolutely no complaints. My son ordered the sesame chicken and fried rice lunch special and his only complaint was the eggroll was a little soggy with oil but that's normal. Definitely a good place to eat, beware the ignorant customers. Great staff, great customer service!

    Look how fresh and golden these wings are !!!!! Fresh

    I wanted to provide an update as it has been 3 years. We still visit Golden China as our go to Chinese restaurant. I still think it is a good go to option, but I still feel like they are not 5 star amazing. On our recent visit, we called in our order early as every time we go, it is busy. We were told a 10-15 minute wait. We left shortly after the call as we are about a 10-12 minute drive from this location. Unfortunately when we got there, it was still a wait, about 10 minutes. Not bad, but still not on with what was quoted. This time we got: 1. Beef and Broccoli - we always get this one as we really enjoy this one 2. Garlic Chicken - this is another one we always now get. The flavor is very good and the veggies (broccoli, mini corn, peppers, zucchini, are great! 3. General Tso's Chicken - a small - like very small, kick to it. But that extra spice adds the extra flavor. Very good! 4. Sesame Chicken - I like this one, but I also wanted to order this with the General Tso's Chicken that we have been ordering previously to see which I liked better. I've always loved Sesame Chicken, but here, the Tso's is so much better, just has that extra kick. The Sesame Chicken is good, but I'm just going to prefer us to get the previous 3 dishes each time going forward. 5. Egg Rolls - standard, but good. Another enjoyable experience. They are still busy during COVID just like they were before. Only difference is that they are only doing take out and not allowing dine in at this time.

    Plain lo-mein , egg rolls sweet &sour chicken and fried rice w 2 drinks. We ate for just under 25$ a ton of food and it was great.

    Golden China was my go to place here and there. Are the previous owners gone? Saw many new faces and the food was different in flavor. Not bad at all just not what I was used to having.

    Our usual Chinese food restaurant was closed, so I looked around and find Lee Cafe on Yelp…read more It was almost 20 minutes away, but the reviews were good and it looked worth a shot. We ordered the sesame chicken, pork fried rice, and Kung Pao chicken. All were good, and we would go here again. I would definitely recommend calling in your take it order. They don't have the ability to take it on their website, and their online delivery and takeout is through doordash. The markup DoorDash is putting on the menu here is obscene. Calling in the order and picking it up the total was $50. DoorDash price for pickup was a little over $60, and DoorDash price for "free delivery" was over $70.

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

I'll start by saying that while we've routinely had delivery from Spice, until this recent visit we had never actually eaten there. Our goal was to enjoy a late afternoon on the rooftop bar. Unfortunately, it was busier than we anticipated and the only open tables were unshaded. No problem, we went back downstairs and helped ourselves to seats at the bar. Our drinks were well-made and thirst-quenching - it was honestly hard to pick the best among the Japanese Old-Fashioned, Asian Pear Martini and Lychee Martini (confession, I'm not a lychee fan but if I was I'd have two of these). By now we've had most of the items on the menu and have never received a bad meal. My favorite Small Plate is the Spicy Tuna Rice Crisps. Fresh tuna served on Japanese style crisped rice cakes with a hint of spicy mayo. I could eat these every week - and yet, we didn't order them this visit. Instead, we had the Roti Canai, edamame, vegan fresh spring rolls and seared scallops. All were devoured, so good! Among the other menu items, my recommendations are the Green Curry and the Short Rib. The rib in particular is fall-off-the-bone tender and served with a flavorful au jus sauce. I was very impressed by the service (especially compared to that of several other restaurants in the area). Our bartender was busy, yet still cheerful and attentive (and she made great drinks), Definitely in my overall Top Five among restaurants in the Fort Mill / Rock Hill area. Highly recommended!

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I didn't expect myself to like it since I generally do not appreciate Asian fusion. However, this place was honestly quite good, along with excellent service and wonderful decor. Two of us started with some Edamame and Tom Kha Soup, which were both just alright. Where the meal started to shine was they brought the perfectly Seared Scallops w/ Vermicelli. I have been to Michelin starred restaurants that didn't have such a beautiful sear on their scallops. What a tasty treat! As for the entrees, the Braised Beef Short Rib was another spectacular dish. Falling off the bone tender and a rich savory sauce. However, the Bibimbap was nowhere near the quality we have in NYC. I honestly didn't expect to like this restaurant, but I really did enjoy the meal way more than anticipated. I will gladly return for those Seared Scallops and Braised Beef Short Rib again.

It's very rare for me to do a review and not have pics to accompany it but from entrance to exit I don't think I liked my phone up once. Coworker's company was great but the food really made for a great experience. In addition to that having my coworker speak to the culture of the food made it all the more appreciated.

    Great authentic Chinese Hot Pot place! The food is fantastic and the service fast and efficient…read moreplus the atmosphere is cool! 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!

The pork lo mein, while also generally bland in the noodle and sauce department, had generous helpings of roast char siu pork that were decently flavorful. This was the only saving grace of the meal. ==The Bad== The wonton soup was lacking a bit in salt, which i understand may be a personal taste preference, but there also wasn't any particularly strong flavor from the wontons so the whole dish just felt dissatisfying. The sauce in the Mongolian beef wasn't very savory so it, too, came off a bit bland. To their credit, the cuts of beef were actually quite good and the vegetables were decent, but without a solid tasting sauce the whole thing falls a part. ==The Ugly== The teriyaki chicken skewers were just chicken with teriyaki sauce poured over them. It seems almost heretical that they didn't bbq these skewers in the sauce. This was the most disappointing part of the meal. Overall, pretty on par for restaurants that have long lost their passion for this game. If you've never had Chinese in Boston, LA or New York, you'll probably like this place. More well-traveled patrons should look elsewhere.
