The Ghost of Reviews Past are talking about what? - they're talking about slow service, personal manacure performance, chicken tenders on Christmas Eve (who the F orders Chinese food on 12/24) let's talk about something important - value. Has the food flavors tipped the scale towards the bland side? Maybe - one visit won't tell - but we're over spiced and seasoned anyway - blandness might just be what we need for a stint, give the tired taste buds a little vacay. My Pork Chop Suey did fit that a bit - but it saved San Francisco - way back when it was worth saving - now I wish no less than a deep dive into the dystopian abyss of Atlantis upon it's highways and byways. Inside is a fair attempt to recreate the Chinese experience thru appearance - there was effort taken to capture a little imagination of us Americans. The cusine reminded me a bit of my grandmother's Hungarian goulash -red & white onion & green and red bell peppers (it's available in Beef) all of which could have been cooked a bit longer to release their natural juices. In slight contrast with Lo Mein, Chinese foods more common dish, Chop Suey is made with rice or noodles - Americanized with the multitude of additional ingredients pea pods, chopped carrots, mushrooms & sprouts in a sweet thin glaze lurking below and giving a little float to the rice I poured in - a little pinchy blast of salt and lil red pepper flake with the cooking might just have been seasoning enough. read more

Golden Chopsticks - Pork Chop Suey - Chinese Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

With having always gone to China Rose down the road and then now being shut down I wanted to try a new Chinese spot and chose Golden Chopsticks. I ordered through DoorDash and the food came right on time and nice and hot. I ordered the General Tso Dinner Combination. The chicken was packed with flavor and delicious and is some of the best I've had around, I would definitely recommend this dish as it left me very satisfied! The rice and egg roll that came with it were decent. I also got the Boneless Spare Ribs which were delicious and the steamed dumplings which were decent. Not the best Chinese I've had but I will definitely be going back there since it's probably the best spot in the area if you don't want to drive all the way to Portland for Chinese food. read more

Golden Chopsticks is conveniently located on Cooks Corner just off the exit making it a quick stop on the way to a friend's house when in the area. Staff has always been friendly and they created a to-go pickup window to avoid customers from having to enter the restaurant to get their food. Very convenient given our current COVID circumstances. They do not skimp when it comes to portion size (see photo) and I am a creature of habit hence the ordering of General Tso chicken once again. It's also a way for me to effectively compare all the different variations I have tried across all the Chinese restaurants I have stopped at in order to give you, the Yelp community, a fair and honest opinion from someone who loves General Tso chicken. The Egg roll and friend rice were your typical Chinese complements to the overall dish. I would give them 5-stars for their food, but their choice of container does not hold up well when you have several items that are hot as well. The container tends to deform due to the intense heat from the other containers and in some cases caused it to partially collapse breaking the seal around the container letting steam into the bag. read more

Golden Chopsticks - General Tso Chicken with egg roll and fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Solid take out for Chinese food. Not much space for indoor dining. Huge menu selections. Very fast preparation time and they aren't stingy with the duck sauce which is a good thing. I ordered a lot of food and they gave me huge portion and servings which was a bonus for next day leftovers. In addition, got about 6 fortune cookies perhaps they didn't realize I was just eating for myself and not a family 6. read more

Ordered for the first time today and will definitely be back. I expected a few things to be not up to par it is a holiday and I'm sure they were busy but nothing was good and several things were missing from my large order($160). The rice was very bland and undercooked/crunchy. The duck and sweet and sour sauce did not taste right. Both were very thin and watery not the normal consistency you would expect for both. The boneless ribs were basically tiny pieces or plain pork. Pict a normal piece cute into 3 or 4 pieces. The eggroll had little to no pork it was all large pieces of veggies. The four seasons was nothing like the menu said or I was given the wrong thing. it was all boiled peanuts and celery. The hot and sour soup was more broth than anything else and was not spicy at all. Overall very disappointed and will not be back. read more

In Maine we have very few good asian restaurants, especially in Brunswick. Golden Chopsticks has decent food, and is a take out entity. The breading on fried items is usually too much, but it is a good value for the money compared with other restaurants. The people that work there are nice. Finding good Asian food usually requires a drive to Portland and the other local establishments are generally worse than Golden Chopsticks. My only gripe was last Saturday night I ordered sweet and sour shrimp but they only provided a tiny amount of sauce, (unlike the usual larger size for dipping). Egg rolls are not authentic but they taste very good. Fried rice portion is large. The bottom line is the food is decent, service is good, but it is take out only. read more

Ok food but new prices are way out of line. A 25% increase is to much Much better food and service just down the street for a lot less money I will miss going here because they are close to me but not 25% more Hope they reduce prices to something reasonable read more

There is no ambiance as it does a big take out business. There are a few tables so you wouldn't go for a date , but you should go for the food, it was fresh and delicious. read more

Once in awhile my family gets an urge to eat Americanized Chinese food. You know the type..... egg rolls, combo plates, fortune cookies, etc. It reminds me of my youth when getting Chinese food and going to a movie on a Saturday night was a special treat. Tonight was one of those nights for my family. We all had an urge for takeout. I decided to check out Yelp and ended up here based on some really good reviews. We have never been here before so we decided to give it a try. Overall, it was decent food but we were left underwhelmed. Maybe it was an off night and we might give it another chance, but in general I had hoped for better. read more

Golden Chopsticks - Lunch menu - Chinese Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

If zero was an option, it would be clicked. Yesterday was my first and will be my only time ever going here. Disgusting doesn't even fit the description of how incredibly nasty this food is. The rice, bland as eating cardboard. The boneless ribs were by far the most gross and fatty thing in the history of food. I didnt even dare give my dog any of it in fear that she would disown me. All n all, if you enjoy the most disturbing form of chinese food, then this place is for you. If you would rather save yourself the bitter taste of chinese defeat, go elsewhere. read more

Our Chinese food of choice in the Brunswick area! Whenever we have a hankering for some crab rangoons and egg drop soup, this is the place we call. We have never had a bad meal from them. They are always pleasant on the phone and when picking up. They also have a few tables to eat-in but we like to dive in to our to go boxes while watching a movie. It's the best! As many people will say there is always an item on the menu for different ethnic foods that tell whether it's worthy or not. Crab rangoons is the food of choice when it comes to Chinese restaurants, at least for me it is. They had me a first bite. Crispy, crunchy outside and perfect amount of crab mixture inside that actually tastes like crab. Woo hoo. Their spring rolls, egg rolls are also pretty nice. Of course I meant to get the spring rolls steamed and not fried but they were still amazing. The rest of our meals usually consists of General Tso's Chicken (extra spicy), egg drop soup, the pineapple delight, and if I'm being good- steamed veggies. All our amazing and worthy of the caloric intake. read more

"I am on a business trip and came here when I saw the ratijgs , it's an awesome little place and I went there for dinner and let's just say it was so good that I went to the next day for lunch I order the sweet and sour chicken and it was super delicious with beef fried rice and I got the crab. I went there for lunch the next day and got the kung pao chicken and that was amazing it was suggested by the girl up in front overall this place gets 5 stars for being awesome and their tea is amazing read more

Golden Chopsticks - Sweet and sour chicken - Chinese Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Chinese fast-food. Cheap, you get a LOT for your money! Not high quality, but it fulfills your Chinese cravings.

We have been customers of Golden Chopsticks for many years and have been satisfied until recently. We ordered three meals on December 31st. The charge was over $40.00 ! Reason given, it was a holiday. What? Also, fried rice was not the same as they used to make it. In other words they have cheapened their product and raised their prices! I will not deal with any business that does this. GOODBYE. read more

my L3 Tofu and garlic sauce came without utensils, napkins, soy sauce or duck sauce. The tofu was so over fried that it tasted like a dirty sponge. the egg roll was greasy but good. it would have been better with some duck sauce to dip it in. No excuse that this was so sloppy. Sorry, not sorry. read more

I was very disappointed tonight in my order. I ordered sweet and sour shrimp, got sweet and sour chicken..... The breading so thick that I peeled it to eat just the chicken. The fried rice was horrible. The crab rangoon was delicious as well as the egg drop soup. I have been here many times and have not been as disappointed as I was tonight. Not sure if they have a new cook or if their spices were off, but I was horribly disappointed tonight. I don't know if I will go back. read more

Blah... something changed and it's not for the better... didn't have the flavor that it used to. Customer service was awesome and friendly but the food is nowhere near what it used to be. Hopeful it was just a fluke but reviews have been trending downward lately read more

I have had okay meals here...but Christmas Eve was seriously the last straw. We called our order in and they told us it would be ready in an hour (I actually expected longer given that it was Christmas Eve) my husband arrived and literally waited a whole second hour to get our food. When he got home and we hungrily started eating it was very disappointing. The orange chicken was sooo over cooked, I took three separate bites and had to spit them out. They had sooooo much sauce they were drowning. The lo Melin was so soft and overcooked it was sad. And the fried rice was underwhelming. In addition, our egg rolls had ZERO FLAVOR...they tasted like unflavored, boiled cabbage. I thought maybe I was overreacting...but my husband, who loves all food, was so upset about how bad it was. If we waited two hours for good food it would have been okay...but $45 and two hours later, it was upsetting. read more

Golden Chopsticks is not like it use to be! Food was very very bland. Not a lot of flavor at all. We got the Crab Rangoon for an appetizer and they were very generic and probably the best part of the meal. The combo platters however was where Golden lacked. We had the Beef Lo Mein which tasted like absolutely nothing. No spice, no flavor, just bland. Had to add our own sauce to make it worth it. We also had the Sesame Chicken. This was ever so slightly better than the Lo Mein with just a dash of more flavor. Both dishes came with wonton soup, which was overly salted, and a spring roll which wasn't bad. The Pork Fried Rice which came with both dishes had zero flavor. Uncle Bens fried rice has more flavor. Luckily the food wasn't over priced, as it was $30 for the meal. read more

This is a mostly takeout and delivery spot. We ate inside on our way home. A friendly and smiling woman patiently took our order. The food was ready in about ten minutes bit was hot and cooked to order. The orange chicken was flavorful and mildly spicy with a delicious crunchy exterior. It was with choice of pork fried rice soup and a side. The egg rolls were cooked well but the flavor was average. The crab rangoons were excellent, fried to perfection and bursting with creamy crab goodness. The hot and sour soup was thick and had a nice kick of spice. The woman working even offered us container to take the rest home with it. The service was wonderful. read more

Nope. Definitely not what it used to be. Bland.. bland.. bland. Don't think we'll be back. Yuck.

Foods pretty good compared to other local Chinese places in the area and they give large portions so you have left overs

They were rushed the order. 7 hours after I ate I am experiencing food poisoning. This was the only meal I ate this day.

Would not recommend. Im visiting Maine from RI and let me just tell y'all that this restaurant is scamming. I paid $14 for a small order of rice and wings, this would have been $7 and a bigger portion at home. Egg rolls are also included, they tried to charge me $5 for the rolls. My wings were also NOT fully cooked... read more

I've had take out from here so many times in the past years. The food quality has gone downhill. The fried rice is so dry. My kids don't like it anymore either. read more

Amazing Place The two i saw Today 7/7/17 was the two super nicest people so far i met when i was so late they willing reheated my food for me great price i will be back once a week golden chopsticks is best tasting food i have ever tasted read more

This use to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. I don't know what has changed the past year but the quality , quantity and service has gone down hill. I would always recommend this place to everyone. Not anymore. Chicken fingers are small un crispy pancake batter. Dumplings are huge. Rice is bland with nothing added to it. Even the sweet and sour sauce is different. We now go out of town to get good Chinese read more

More than likely this will be one of the best Chinese food places you will ever eat. Inside is a little drab and location is bad. But do not let that deter you. Call your order in 30 mins ahead of time. It's all fresh. So takes time. Also order the Crab Rangoons. I promise you will never find a better place. I travel a lot for work all over the U.S. And glad I have this close to home. read more

I have eaten a lot of take out in my life, a lot of it being Chinese (heart attack here I come), but out of all the places I have been too, this place is definitely top 5. Hidden Gem of a spot up in the heart of Maine. Everything tasted so fresh and had loads of flavor. Plus, your money goes a long way here! You will not go Hungry getting the combinations plates. read more

The restaurant is clean but dilapidated to the point of being scary. I hoped this would mean they're putting it all into the food, but it didn't really. My order smelled good as I was driving home but tasted just barely OK. Next time I'll have to pass. read more

I love the lo "Maine" from this place! SOOOO good! It was the first time I'd ever tried it before and I've been trying to find a place that does it like they do ever since. Too bad I only get to have it when I visit! read more

Doesn't get any better if you are looking for Chinese food at Cooks Corner. Just avoid the moo shoo pork.

Well I was pleasantly surprised on how well the food tasted..trust me when I say I have tried others hear in the bath Brunswick area and was not happy at all. This was my last try at finding good Chinese in this area...and it is very tasty and not greasy read more

This Chinese restaurant has only a few tables and is mostly geared towards takeout customers. The tables, floor and walls were dirty. We are not from the area and decided to eat in. Styrofoam plates and plasticware is what we were given to eat in. The food was fresh but very sweet even on a bed of white rice. Wish I had gone to 5 guys just down the road. read more

Stopped here for my Chinese food craving and it was worth it. I had the house fried rice and it was filled with meats and vegetables. I recommend this place to anyone passing through this area! read more

This place is terrible food tastes like the place smells. Awful. Pretty sure they just don't change their oil. I almost turned around and left when I walked in to pick up my food because of the smell. If it wasn't so far from my house I would go back and ask for a refund. If you like this place you should go eat at Ming lee in Waterville then eat the food at golden chopsticks and tell me it's not horrendous. read more

Good. Not great, not bad. Customer service was a little odd. The man and woman were arguing in another language while I waited for my food lol read more

This place got me really sick! The food is not that good the only good thing I can say is that I didn't have to go to work because I got sick lol read more

I really hate to ring their bell because it will just make the lines longer. Chinese food is usally salty to hide the lack of freshness, Golden Chopsticks is the opposite, and that is why I like them. read more

we were a walk in order and ended up waiting over an hour in their store to get our food, asked about what was taking so long at the 30 min mark, was told the order would be right out waited another 30 mins, food finely came out, got it home the chicken was way under cooked to the point of being raw, egg rolls were cold as ice. if I could give them zero stars I would. read more
