BEST FRIES AROUND!! Odd to hear that the best fries around are from a Chinese restaurant, haha. If you think you're a French fry connoisseur tell me if I'm off base here. Lightly salted, krispy outside, moist inside, hot, with a nice potato flavor. These are what French fries are supposed to be! And to those other reviewers who complained about bad service and bad food. I get just the opposite every time I visit. Along with the fries I got an order of beef chow mein Hong Kong style (crispy noodles). Amazing. read more

Golden China - The perfect French fry. - Chinese Near Me - Lodi, California

We give this place 5 stars for great food and service. The lady in the front was so nice to accomodate us. She let me, my hubby, and son dine-in even they're only accepting take out. (We didn't know ) The service was quick and food also taste good. We enjoyed our first time here. Wish they could re-open for dine-in and business keeps doing well. We recommend this place. read more

Love this restaurant. The pork fried rice is the best no matter what time you get it. The sweet and sour pork is very good and the service and help is beyond expectations. I highly recommend Golden China. Best in town for sure. . read more

We have ordered here for more than 12 years. Since the new people [chef/cook] took over the food is bland, plain tasting. We have tried several different dishes and the problem is the same. Some thing has changed. It was the go-to place whenever the kids or friends came to Lodi. Now have stopped ordering unless we hear different read more

The worse sweet and sour pork ever......beef chow mein had no flavor......pork fried rice was decent.....I will not return to Golden China

Under new management. The food quality is not the same. The salt and pepper pork has a completely different batter.

This was my favorite Chinese restaurant in Lodi for the longest time and I'm so disappointed in the new ownership. I stopped by for my favorite meal today, Mongolian beef with steamed rice, and figured it would be a little different due to change in ownership but my god! I got about half the amount of meat as I would usually get, so the meal was 80% steamed rice and the Mongolian beef was bland, colorless and barely spicy. It's so disappointing and heartbreaking. This used to be such a great place. I'm hoping they do other dishes better, but I won't be back. read more

This was our go to spot for awesome food for the last 20 yrs but that changed tonight. Lady who took order on phone was rude and had no idea on proper phone etiquette. When walked in and noticed all new staff I was nervous and my fears were realized when brought food home to our hungry bunch and very disappointed to say the least. It even looked different and tasted worse, I didn't bother with a 2nd helping having trouble finishing the first and nobody really wanted the left overs. The search for a new spot just began, well after I get the bad taste out of my mouth. read more

I ordered fried asparagus and potstickers for dinner. The asparagus was sooooo good!!! Highly recommend!!

Chow mein is incredible there! We have been going here for years and absolutely love it.

The food looked amazing but was terrible! I had the fried garlic chicken and soon as i took my first bite i spit it out! Chicken has no flavor and just gross in general! I started to feel sick right after. I will never go back to this place ever again. Thanks read more

This place is a hole in the wall, and everyone knows if it's a hole in the wall most likely it's good, and it's absolutely TRUE! If you like beef. My BF recommends the Mongolian Beef. I'm more of a veggie pescatarian person. I personally would recommend the sczechwan shrimp. Yumm! Good size portions, and it's only Take Out. read more

Food and service was terrible. The only things that was eatable was the deep fried gran beans

Worst Chinese food I've ever had, it was tasteless. I got the combo with the BBQ Beef, Chow Mien and Sweet & Sour pork with an order of pot stickers. The Beef was tough and flavorless, like chewing an old piece of leather. The pot stickers were fried, yet still gummy. The coating on the Sweet and Sour Pork had a weird texture to it, and the sauce had no flavor. I ended up tossing most of the meal in the garbage. I tried to find something positive to say about the food, but I can't. This was my first visit and will be my last. read more

My favorite Chinese place in lodi. I use to frequent an other local restaurant until the owners sold and the food wasn't as good. The. I found this place. Their sweet and sour pork is always crispy, not soggy. The chow mein seems to have a tad to much garlic for me but my husband loves it. My go tops are pork fried rice, sweet and sour pork and beef broccoli read more

Delicious food. Tried many places in Lodi and this is one of my top 3 favorites. They give tons of food w/ the lunch combo., aprox. $10 but well worth it. Will return again. Oh.. I don't need any hello's when I walk in (not looking for any new friends) just good food. read more

Way to expensive not enough food for price and wait is way to long 4 people ordered after me and Chicken Or Pork Fried Ricegot there's first it wasn't even pick up either read more

The worst customer service ever!! This lady is beyond rude.. Don't try and order what she would think is to be too much or you will get the worst service and disgusted looks from her. This has happened multiple (3x) times and has even said things like, "you already ate(soup), and that's too much (dinner special)." I'm the customer paying with my hard earned money and you are going to turn away my business because you think my FAT A$$ don't need it?? How does that make any sense??? I'm bringing my money to this establishment so this local business stays around and she could have a paycheck, but its not good enough? So, to all my (thick, fat, chubby, skinny, average) foodies be forewarned that you dinner might not be as comfortable as you'd like it to be. read more

So since they know have a new owner with same cooks I'll start coming by more often! Right now, it's only to go but the lady working the counter is super nice. Hoping they open up for dine in soon. Love the chicken chow mein with Mongolian beef, super good. read more

Lady who takes orders and serves the tables can APPEAR rude but she's just very busy keeping everyone happy. The food is fresh, hot, delicious and always leftovers to take home. There are probably 4-5 other Chinese or Asian restaurants closer to where we live, but we always go out of our way to Golden China. (We used to do the same for Pizza Works when it was open ) read more

I had been going to Golden China since I've been working in Lodi. Food was good, reasonably priced, However after today i will no longer be dining in this place anymore. read more

Golden China - This is why i will not be dining here ever again. - Chinese Near Me - Lodi, California

Food was fantastic, service was ehh, had walked in and seen my order was ready for pickup behind the counter, & the lady immediately asks if I'm here for pick up, I tell her yes... & right after that she takes two phone call orders instead of ringing up my food. I had waited about 10 mins when I should've been In and out since I ordered ahead of time read more

This place has very delicious food however terrible service especially the woman who is the main hostess/server/waitress there. WARNING!!!!! This woman can be rude/ not customer friendly. Sad because the food is great! read more

Golden China - Combination # 1 delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Lodi, California

I was looking forward to eating here, but when I drove up, there was a big sign in the window of the door saying "Take out ONLY". Disappointed read more

We ordered dinner from here the other night. It was very good. We had the house chow mein, house fried rice, kung pao prawns, mongolian beef, orange chicken, and sweet and sour pork. It is very rare that everyone in our house agrees that the food is good. There were clean plates all around this night though. read more

Horrible horrible horrible!! The waitress basically called my friend fat, touched her plate, pushed her chair back did everything she could to make her uncomfortable Then had the audacity to ask for a tip!! Let's just say they wont be going back read more

First off I miss Grace the new lady is totally not nice and completely rude. Food was good the 3 of us all had different items Hot and sour soup good flavor it's my favorite soup Sweet and sour pork - was good but I'm generally not a fan Pork fried rice - good flavor not overly salty like some I've had. Over all service was lacking she didn't check on us at all. Brought us the bills and boxed the food and that was that . Food is always good can't complain read more

Went here with my daughter and she didn't finish all her food, so when the waitress came by, she asked for a box to take the rest home. The waitress copped and attitude and said "next time get your order to go." Everything including the food was good up until that point. Very disappointed at how rude she became. First and last time I ever go here. Sad.. truly sad. read more

Holy crap they need to make this a fast food joint. Then again as soon as you walk in it looks like fast food joint but go into the room to your left for a sit down meal. Our food was done within five minutes of ordering! I ordered the lemon chicken lunch special which was nice and lemony, just the way I like it. I can never seem to find a place that makes lemon chicken to taste like lemon! They gave me a ton of rice, kinda hoping they gave me more chicken than rice. My husbands food looked pretty good, I think he had chow mein with fried rice and fried garlic friend chicken. The service was prompt and we were greeted right away. -2 stars for their nasty bathroom. Can someone come in here with some Ajax and a toilet scrubber please? read more

Chow mein and fried rice are always amazing so is there Mongo beef lemon chicken chicken asparagus black bean and the garlic shrimp all hits...this is my main Chinese take out when im craving it their honey walnut shrimp ams salt and pepper squid are also gave of mine..... read more

Pros: none sorry to say this, but this place sucks ;( Cons: everything lol I have been here twice nd this last time I was here, the only reason I went was because I was starving :p. First problem with this place is their costumer service Oh my God they sooo rude nd No smiles, I felt like their costumers don't matter to them, Second the food is super super greasy I order a few egg rolls and they were dripping in grease Oh yeah nd for take out orders they don't provide napkins or forks so u mite want to grab a fork nd napkins from ur house before you go here lol. Third and major problem with this place is that the food will give u stomach cramps so stay away, oh yeah nd their food is not very tasty ;p I will never, ever ever come back here even if I'm starving to dead like I was today:) read more

Wait for it... The food was great and very fresh, the chicken chow mein was my favorite prob the best I've had all around , broccoli beef was fresh and crunchy and the slices of beef they add in are moist and have a great flavor, fried rice also delicious it looked greasy but it didn't taste like it, and then the orange chicken.. it's the make or break for me and Chinese food restaurants I'm used to crunchy and orange flavor (panda) theirs is not too crunchy and the sauce could have been better tasting but overall it was good. read more

Good Chinese food, very reasonably priced. Good service and I have no idea how they get the food out so quickly, it tastes freshly made to order. They are happy to box up your leftovers for you. We dined in, but in a pinch I would order take out here over any other in town!! Yummy! read more

The food is fantastic, not greasy as reported by some other reviewers. Grace is the lady at the counter most days. She speaks English but is not confident in it. The language barrier is probably why some think she is rude. I have been visiting this place for almost 2 years. It is a quick and tasty lunch spot and the ONLY Chinese food in the area I can get my husband to eat. All four of my kids are fans. I would give Golden China a 5 star except that I wish it was a little updated. A better entry could do wonders for this otherwise perfect place. read more

The fried green beans were the best everything was good and the lady that served us was very nice

I agree with Jose, avoid the prawns at all costs. Other than that, Golden China has the most robust Chinese Food in the greater Lodi area. That doesn't mean its a must -see, but they're still above average. The Mongolian Beef has a nice kick to it. The curry-flavored Singapore chow mein was a hit-or-miss; however, I was in the minority among my group by not liking it. For the price, they really pile on the food. I mean reallllllly. They give you a vast cardboard box to carry it in. Bring an Olympic weightlifter with you if you pick up your order. Overall not bad, but for Chinese food a cut above the rest, a trip to the Bay Area would be required. read more
