They have decent food. My "go to" items are low mein, fried rice or pad Thai. Hubby likes General Tso. The noodles are great. The later hours are convenient. read more

The food was beyond delicious! The food was hot and the portions were a good size for the price.

Easy to place a carryout order; we were in the area for a night and needed to get some food before we went to our destination. We ordered "crispy" beef; "szechuan" chicken, 2 egg rolls, and chicken fried rice. The beef was not crispy and very, very sweet, the chicken was not spicy at all, 5 times the veggies than chicken, covered in a red "jelly" (It was gross), the rice was very tasteless and the chicken was not integrated into the rice just plopped on top, and even the white rice that came with it smelled weird. The egg roll we shared was ok, nothing to say. The service was quick and the lady at the counter was nice and gave us extra soy sauce and hot mustard like we asked. It cost $48 and I left them a 20% tip. We could hardly eat any of it, and dumped it. Expensive lesson, but Front Royal is hardly a destination spot for good food. read more

The hospitality is great!! So nice and the food is delicious. Best Chinese in the area!!

Popped in here for lunch after a doctor's appointment. Really quick service and great food. The owner was very nice and friendly. I got the shrimp Lo mein lunch special and it was so much food that I had to get a take home box. You won't be disappointed if you stop in! read more

Great and very friendly staff. Food always taste great. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants I have had.

Sometime the sauce and hot and sour soup is really thick and really gross, a consistency of jelly. I just cant eat it anymore turn my stomach upside down. If they fixed that issue, its fine. read more

I love the number 17 lunch the fried rice is delicious and the egg rolls are delicious and they are great people working there I'm handy caped so they bring the food out to my car for me also the fried wonton are fabulous full with meat let me know what you like from there Thanks read more

We got some takeout this week. Very disappointing. We ordered 4 items. They gave us the same "sauce" with 3 of them. The "sauce" was WAY too thick! It was more like the consistency of jelly. And it wasn't very good. They do get 1 star because the egg rolls were good. read more

The best Chinese that Front Royal has to offer. Sometimes they are really great. If they were a little more consistent they would be great.

Carryout only now, got lunch yesterday and it was tasteless and boring. Kung Pao chicken should have flavor! The Triple Delight was also tasteless. You can do better GC read more

Waited 30 min to pick up food that was stone cold. Cashier at the front went to hide backroom, instead of informing guests that their food wasn't ready and helping the next guest. Terrible service read more

Dirty windows should have been the first tip off, interior didn't get any better. A good cleaning inside this place would be a great place to start. Food on the buffet was not hot (not even warm) many of the selections on the buffet were gone, or almost gone and nothing was replenished. Anything fried was way over cooked. This was quite frankly awful, they seemed to have a very big call for carry out (service was also poor because the one person on the floor was on the phone taking orders for the majority of the time) This place needs to get it's act together in a huge way. read more

Very good! Definitely give it a try, we had low mein, fried rice, egg roll and general tso.

My family operates a local food establishment and when we are done for the week this is one of our go to places for a quality deserved meal. Our Chinese food spot. read more

Went there for lunch today. They arent open for indoor dining anymore which is lame. The food was good but the order was incomplete. If all you're going to do is takeout you gottah get the order right. read more

The negative reviews here are clearly from customers who enjoy Americanized Chinese food. This restaurant offers delicious, authentic Chinese dishes at very affordable prices (especially affordable for me because my brother and his wife paid for mine on my first trip) and wonderful service. The waitress was so kind and attentive. Definitely order off of the menu as this is the best way to enjoy their entrees. My favorites were the rice noodles and General Tso's chicken. Don't miss out on this delightful, little place. read more

This place is not getting the attention it deserves. My family dines here a few times a month and it is always consistently good and the portions are huge and very reasonably priced! Our usual orders are "Hunan chicken" "General Tso's" and The house special "mei fun" (rice noodles with pork, shrimp, and Veggies) its absolutely delicious. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Give Golden China a chance! You wont be disappointed:) read more

Went in for table service. I'm sure the server got our food off the buffet line. Wasn't hot and the service was very poor. Never return to this place again. Not at all satisfied. I feel like I was punked. read more

Over covid we have gotten take out here a few times a months. I'm always very pleasantly surprised. The flavors are on point and being a pescatarian, they have multiple options for me which isn't always the case. read more

I used to work in town and ate here a couple times a week for a couple years. Always had the lunch buffet. If you get the food right as it's put out, it's fantastic. If it's been sitting there a while, it's mediocre. Veggies were always overcooked/soggy. Heavy on the sauces. There was never any variety/always the same thing. The hot and sour soup was supurb IF you didn't get a bite of the nasty beef in it. Excellent fried dumplings. If you get the salt and black pepper chicken as it's put out, that's to die for... and it's so unhealthy that it'll take a couple days off your life, but it's worth it because it's so delish. A very good deal for the price and the best Chinese food in Front Royal, but all in all, a very average restaurant with average food. That doesn't say a lot about the Chinese dining options in town, as the rest are BELOW average. I do recommend anyone try the lunch buffet once and decide for yourself. read more

Pros: Clean Food in buffet is fresh and refreshed regularly (I have only had it during peek times) Staff is courteous and attentive Prices are reasonable Cons typical Chinese place, nothing fancy Synopsis: In Front Royal this is the Chinese place to go to for the buffet and takeout. Excellent lunch specials and buffet rates. I eat here whenever I crave Chinese, it is the cleanest and friendliest Chinese restaurant in Front Royal. Nothing spectacular about the food, it is typical Chinese takeout and it is good. Not the best I have ever had, but it is the best in Front Royal and it will not disappoint you. read more

The ONLY Chinese restaurant I will order from locally. Lunch/Dinner Buffet is good, just be sure you don't go close to their end time. I usually prefer take-out and its quick and consistent! I like to add items to my favorite entree and they are always glad to do so! There are quite a few options for true Chinese food in this small town. Golden China is a family owned restaurant and they have been in this community for over 15 years. The owner is usually always there and always says hello. I don't think I've ever had a bad visit. read more

They messed up on my order and wouldn't even Reimburse me of it. Called them after I noticed and they didn't care about it!

Need all day buffet by the time I get off there always closed I love there food but they close to early can never make it

I always order take out from this place and it's great. Every time I've gone in to pick up an order during lunch time the buffet was fresh and looked good so I decided to try the buffet. There was only one table in use and the lady chose to sit my daughter and I at a table where the table and bench slanted. Not to mention it was right next to the already occupied table. I've never understood why in an empty restaurant you sit people literally right next to each other smh....my apologies, I digressed lol. Anyway, we moved to another table, I ordered water and to the buffet we went for our first plate. The lady's son was running around so she wasn't paying too much attention to the buffet. I had to request they replenish a couple of items and they quickly complied. Some of the dishes were better than others. The meat was tougher and drier than I'm used to with them and the water tasted like a garden hose. The little boy was playing around the fruit/dessert table and touching the plates (which she never removed) so I didn't get anything from that side. She came to clear the table; without saying excuse me she reached across me as I was eating. At that point I put my fork down and was ready to go. Considering I enjoy their food and usually order lunch combos I was HIGHLY disappointed with my eating in experience. Needless to say I will never eat in again! Stick to ordering take out, the food is fresher and for whatever reason it tastes better. read more

I usually give a place a chance or two before I completely write them off and I am glad I do. I have not even thought about this establishment in 5 or so years. One night after my daughters football practice I decided to come here for dinner with two of my children. I am glad we did the food was hot and fresh. The only down was the decor was outdated, the place was definitely showing it's age, but that had no affect on the food. The waitress middle aged asian lady she wasn't very nice, but wasn't very rude so kind of middle of the road in personality. I would come back again if I was craving chinese food. read more

A group of six of us ate here yesterday with all of us getting the buffet. It was the typical Chinese buffet. Mediocre at best. The food was pretty bland and typical. The waittress was good and kept our drinks filled nicely. I doubt I'll be back. read more

I absolutely love this place! I have yet to order something that I don't like. I'm just about the worlds pickiest eater, too.

They had NO food at this place and we showed up right around noon. The servers were cleaning green beans on one of the tables which seems unsanitary to me. The one server actually working followed us up to the buffet and asked what we would like them to make, um, I go to a buffet for choices, if I wanted to tell you what to bring me I would have gone somewhere else. Will not go back ever. read more

Super friendly service, super fast delivery. My fav dish is the Pepper Chicken with the Green Beans. Nice combo of sweet and spicy. Pot Stickers are yummy and the Combo Lo Mein is very good. The menu that's posted on Yelp isn't up to date, it's recommended to stop by and grab a menu - lots more options. Some reviews are critical about the restaurant, I've had great Chinese in San Francisco, Chicago, NY...If you are in Front Royal, Golden China is well worth checking out. Promise. read more

We love this place! The food is always hot and fresh, and if there's something that's not on the buffet that you want, they'll make a fresh batch if you ask. Friendly owners and waitresses. The restaurant itself needs some cosmetic work, but the food is absolutely delicious! Beef tips and mushrooms...mmm, SO good! read more

Yelp really needs a rating below one star because that is what I would give this dump. Do not eat here. Not only was the food dried out, old, and bland at 12:30 when we went for lunch, We were the only people there eating. That should have tipped us off. When I told her at the register that the food was terrible she then told me that I was rude. I paid for our meal in full and explained to her that she should be able to take feedback from their customers. I found a hair in my fried rice and she wanted me to go find it and show it to her. I do think that you can tell the cleanliness of a restaurant by its restrooms and theirs were filthy. Do yourself a favor and find another place to eat. read more

The restaurant was so clean and the food smelled great. The taste was just okay- nothing spectacular but it still satisfied our craving for the night. The fried rice was great but seemed to be missing the egg. read more

I love Chinese food, I just moved to town not to long ago and tired a lot of the restaurant's out, this is definitely the best Chinese food in town, I haven't tried the buffet, I have never been disappointed. And the portions they give you are definitely worth the money. read more

We ordered from the menu and it was good (for Front Royal standard). I give it a 4 stars because the price is very reasonable. I do not know about the buffet, however. read more

Best Chinese food in town in my opinion.

The price is right only 10.93 with tax for the buffet. If a dish is finished on the buffet you need to ask for more. The food quality is mediocre although the service was good. I wouldn't go back. read more

I ate here a few times, and did enjoy it. The food looks good, and everything I ate tasted great. The workers were pleasant, and it's actually in the town. If you're a buffet person, this place will do fine by you. read more

Just passing through on our way home and found this place a few steps away from the motel 6. Delicious food and huge portions! Highly recommend. We will be back on our next visit! read more
