    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.

    Super solid spot when you're craving seafood! We came in for dinner on a Tuesday and were seated…read moreright away in a booth. Service was friendly and attentive. We got the snow crab legs & shrimp combo (which comes with corn and potatoes) and added on a 1/2 lb of sausage - which I highly recommend! This was the perfect amount of food for the 2 of us. We got our combo with garlic butter, and the puffed up plastic bag came with plenty inside! They provide a plastic bib along with gloves, but since the gloves were so large on me, I was having trouble getting to the meat in the crab legs and shrimp, so I ended up taking them off. This worked better for me during dinner, but I will say even after washing my hands, they did smell like garlic and seafood for a while after. This is a fun, interactive meal and the prices feel aligned with the quality and quantity. I'll be back to shake shake some more seafood soon!

    Unfortunately We didn't even get the chance to eat here but will not be returning when much better…read moretreatment is 2 minutes away. When we walked in, the restaurant was nearly empty....literally only two tables were occupied. We specifically asked the host whether we could still order from the lunch menu since it was getting close to 3:00 p.m., and we were told yes. After being seated and waiting for our drinks, it was 3:18 p.m. When we went to order, our waitress informed us that we could no longer order from the lunch menu because it was after 3:00. If the cutoff was strict, we should have been told that before being seated, especially since we asked about it upfront. Instead, we wasted our time only to be given completely different information by another employee. The lack of communication between the staff was frustrating and unprofessional. We chose to leave rather than order from the regular menu. Hopefully management can improve communication so future guests don't have the same experience.

    This place is a disaster. Initial impression for ambiance…read morewas good and we were greeted immediately. Those are the highlights We had a reservation for 11 people and arrived on time...not one place was set for us (they were almost empty) and they tried to stick us in the bar with 3 kids....so we changed to the main part of the restaurant where we were 1 of 2 tables with patrons. This is a seafood restaurant that specializes in shell fish but has a few other offerings. This is where it got real interesting. BUT FIRST out of 12 beers offered only 3 were available. 1 of our party has a shell fish allergy and we were informed they have no grill and all food is fried and prepared in the same area and friers so they cannot guarantee no cross contamination. Even the steamers are used to make pasta and they are also used for steamed shellfish and obviously they do not clean or change the water. After the beers, not being ready for the large party and now this bit of news I was ready to get up and leave. But was convinced by everyone to stay and order....the person with the allergies ordered a Ceasar salad...the food arrived and then the salad was last....at which time he was informed that they had no Ceasar dressing so they delivered chopped lettuce with cheese on top...they then asked if he would like Blue Cheese, Ranch or Italian instead. I wonder how this place can stay open with inventory, service and offerings like this. Everyone finished their food and it was deemed "OK" and our friend with the salad ate the salad (small dish) and watched his wife eat with everything making his share of the bill $100.00 - for a salad an a dinner, For the safety of you and your guests if anyone has any type of allergy to a seafood product DO NOT DINE HERE. 11 of us talked after dinner and decided never again as it just was not worth the price aggrevation or the inconvenience to one of our party.

From the moment we walked in, the hostess was smug. No friendliness and no warmth. Just cold. It was not until she sat us down, that she gave us a small smile. The table she sat us at was disgusting. The napkin holder was so filthy and sticky, the wall by the window looked like it never got wiped ave the window and window sill was filthy too. So we moved ourselves to another table. That table was little better, but the window sill and wall was filthy. Our waitress cane to us and she had a nasty stain on her shirt. I didn't understand why when it was literally like 12 pm in the afternoon. It was early and there was only a few amount of ppl dining here. She explained how the all-you-can-eat menu works. We ordered our appetizers. We only had a certain amount of time to dine and or tune was wasted waiting for our food to come. When my food came, my wings were burnt. The clam chowder lacked abs the calamari was rubbery. I was displeased. I decided to not reorder. My aunt's drink was water down, but because of how long the waitress came back to our table..I couldn't even request it to be made over. I had to doctor it myself Do you know that charge you for lemon and cherries, if requested??? They charge for everything. That's ridiculous . The appetizers were okay. The flounder and catfish taste the same though. Our crab boils finally arrived. The sauce lacked flavor so very much that my wife's had to add Old Bay seasoning. Even the butter was nasty!!! We had to wait for the waitress again. Thankfully, she extended the time due to her knowing that we waited longer than we were served. I will not be reccomending this spot to anyone. They have decent pricing... but it the place is filthy and they nickel and dime you for everything.

We were welcomed and seated, having dinner with a friend. The menu is extensive and focused on seafood with lots of crab legs and shrimp and such. I'm not one to usually trust seafood this far from the coastline so I chose the Carne Asada which was very good. A nice portion with plenty of skirt steak cooked medium rare as requested with rice and beans and a little pico and a roasted pepper. Main complaint is that it was not very hot. I think these plastic plates are inexpensive for the restaurant but they make it hard to keep it hot from the kitchen and on the table. Otherwise, the service was good and the drinks were strong. We would (and will) return to Las Palmas. [Review 99 of 2025 - 4069 in North Carolina - 23666 overall]

It ended with my husband and I escaping to our car in the rain and then 4 of them chasing each other in the parking lot outside in the pouring rain. $5 Margarita and $1 Tacos on a Tuesday or Thursday anyone ? Thankfully we had finished eating before the fight broke out. The place is nicely decorated and clean men & women's restrooms. They even have a place to take photos with cute Angel's wings in lights. The food was pretty good too. They brought out salmon ceviche, salsa, and chips for free to the table and it was excellent ! I got their carne asada taco and taco pastor for $1 each and a $5 Margarita since it was Thursday. The taco meat was a bit overcooked and dry. The tacos also were not authentic in that they did not come with a roasted jalapeno and onion. I had to ask for them after my plain tacos were brought to the table. They charged me an extra $2 to add them. I also got the shrimp enchiladas and they were very good. It was served with rice, refried beans, lettuce, and guacamole. Hubby got a lime jarrito soda to drink and enchiladas gringas (ground beef). He liked it. But the beef didn't have alot of flavor. It was served with sour creme, guacamole, lettuce, refried beans, and rice. I was going to order an appetizer, but they did not have any descriptions of them on the menu. I tried to order something that I THOUGHT was baked potato topped with scallop and chili from the photo, The label directly above it said papa something so I figured I was correctly interpreting the photo. Nope, the label went with the item on the left, which were basically French fries. When my app was deliverered to the table, it was a CUCUMBER, not a potato. I explained my confusion to the waitress. I would advise placing descriptions on the menu so the customer is not left guessing what they are ordering solely from a photo. The waitresses were all very nice. I was not charged for the appetizer I sent back. NOTE : THERE IS AN EXTRA CHARGE / FEE FOR USING A CREDIT CARD. Not sure about coming back. Food was good, but I didn't feel safe. I almost called the police but hubby said there were enough people there to call the police if they wanted to, so we just left.

    We had such an incredible experience here. By far the best sushi we have ever had. Everything from…read morethe service to the quality of the food was outstanding and exceeded every expectation. Being from California, we did not think our sushi standards could be topped, but this place completely proved us wrong. Some of our favorites were the salmon belly, the red snapper sampler, the yellowtail, and the slam on hand rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. We also loved that they had Echigo beer, which is not easy to find and was a great addition to the meal. One thing that really stood out was how well balanced everything was. Nothing felt overwhelming or heavy, and every dish felt thoughtfully put together. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any of the rolls here. I could not recommend this place more. An amazing experience from start to finish.

    I want to preface this review by saying that I am a sushi connoisseur. I've eaten sushi all over…read morethe world so I know good sushi. I had high expectations when I walked in with my husband. It had a Michelin 2025 sticker on the front door so I thought it would be amazing. I want to say that the service was excellent. Very attentive servers, very professional, very friendly. The service was 5-stars for sure. Next, the food. We started with the miso soup and ginger salad. Miso soup was bland and the ginger dressing on the salad was super bland. We ordered the crispy spicy tuna and the steamed shumai next. The crispy spicy tuna was weird. The first taste bud stimuli was fishy and the last thing you tasted was McDonald's hashbrowns. Also, the chopsticks were very cheap and when you picked up the piece it basically fell apart. The presentation for the steamed shumai was horrible. It was served in a bowl with the chili garlic sauce in a tiny bowl on the side. The pieces were wayyy too big to pick up with the chopsticks and for the mouth. But if you managed to get the thing in your mouth, it was super hot and basically burned your mouth. Like there was no option to take a bite it was either shove the whole thing in your mouth or not eat it at all. The rolls we ordered were the Mr Crabby, which was the only good thing we ordered. The Naruto, which had too many layers of cucumber wrapped around it and the pieces were mini. The villain, a $25 roll with caviar on top, but the caviar was so sparse, it could barely be seen with the naked eye. Rainbow roll was ok but again, the pieces were tiny. Every roll was flavorless and the price point was stupid. $122 plus tip for a bland lunch was retarded. Super disappointed.
