A bunch of us came here for dinner one night and the food was great. The staff is very friendly and kept checking in on us since we were a bigger party. We all enjoyed our dishes and some in our party come to this restaurant regularly. This was my first time here but I'll be sure to go back when in town. read more

Long time customers. Always clean, never crowded. Fast service and quick food delivery. Barely enough time to finish your soup when the main course is being served. Always friendly service. Large portions. Vegetables cooked to perfection, not raw, not mushey. They changed their fried shrimp pieces for the better if you don't like heavy batter on your shrimp. Excellent light crunchy shrimp. I like the #4 combination but substitute the diced almond chicken for pork chow yuk. This has way less celery and more other vegetables. Their prices have not gone up in the past year. Still very reasonable and large portions. Predictable great experience everytime we choose this restaurant. Never feel rushed to leave and they check on you often to make sure you are satisfied. What are you guys waiting for? Try this establishment. read more

Little or no flavor. Mostly frozen or old vegetables are used with a few cheap ingredients. Doughy thick batter with more dough than meat or vegetables. For years Golden Crown was my go to for comfort food so I gave the new owners several chances but food just keeps getting worse. Dishes frequently do not have all the ingredients listed in the menu or are substituted with entirely different foods. Very poor quality ingredients and preparation. Not worth the money at any price. read more

Went into the restaurant today and it was clean and we'll decorated. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Large servings, fresh ingredients and hot when served. There was plenty on the menu to choose from. The kids ate crispy chicken burgers. They were perfectly seasoned and plenty of fries to go with it. The sweet and sour chicken was perfectly flavored. The Mongolian beef was delicious. BBQ pork was tender and juicy. This was a perfect meal, in my opinion!! The food came out fast and we never had to wait for drinks to be refilled. An absolute pleasure in both food and service. I found my new go-to place for Chinese food! read more

Would give it 5 stars but this the good was a complete miss. Usually on point but the combination B was a miss. The shrimp were definitely not the ones they make. They looked and tasted like they were from skippers. I'm hopeful this is a one time thing. Shrimp used to be good but these ones aren't worth paying for. Eaten here a lot and plan to try again. read more

The one in Beaverton Oregon closed, and they made the best sesame chicken I've ever had. I miss the big red pagoda building and their food. Chick fi a knocked that building down. So sad. read more

I've eaten at Golden Crown before and enjoyed the food. However, this time I was sorely disappointed. If this had been my first visit rather than my 10th, I would never return. We ordered takeout for a large number of people, and the service was prompt. However, the food quality was terrible. Diced almond chicken was mushy and had no flavor. Sesame chicken had no sauce. Sweet and sour chicken had sweet and sour sauce mixed in, but it had jelled and made the chicken mushy as well. I could go on, but suffice to say we were very disappointed. read more

Just chicken nuggets like he would buy at Safeway and then you pour your own sauce over the top again from Safeway. This is beyond a negative no, never ever do this to yourself. This is not General sows chicken. There is such a thing as cooking food, and there's another thing called assembling food. I have been a single man for a long time, and I know about assembling food. No one cooked us they just assembled it. read more

Food was good, service was amazing. Shout out to the women waitressing. They treated us so kindly. If there was anything wrong with the food, we didn't notice, because staff was so good to us and our 2 little girls. I just wanted to thank you again. The atmosphere was nice also, we requested to be sat in the back because we have kids, and they kindly obliged read more

Golden Crown Restaurant - Lo mein, general tsao, crab puffs, fried rice and egg foo young. - Chinese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

The place was welcoming and fun from the outside super cute and clean inside, and the staff was very welcoming. The waitress talked and joked with us, really sweet and funny, even gave us bbq pork for making us wait. They were closing soon and we were so tired from working all day, so we got most of our food Togo. It was all very good I got the mu shu pork, YUM, brother got the special lo mein, hammered most of it, bf got combo 5 I stole some bites it was really good and fresh. We are from Portland and will be back next time we work down in Salem! read more

Friendly staff, motivated to please, but the quality of food from the kitchen.... ho, hum.

Food was pretty good. There was a veg in the spring roll I didn't like, but overall it was the best Chinese we've had in four years. And believe me it was miles ahead of any takeout in a very long time.. read more

Since the new owners took over there is no big egg rolls. The food is bland!! Very disappointed. I will not return!

not good. actually it's probably worse than that. we got the sweet and sour chicken combination and almond chicken chow mein. the combination was...mediocre at best. the sweet and sour chicken and fried rice were worse quality than even Panda Express. And the chicken chow mein....lol. What a joke. Look at the picture - how is that chow mein in any language? And you can probably see the couple of crispy noodle things that I guess qualifies it as chow mein? Plus the exterior is depressing, the interior is equally depressing, even our waitress seemed depressed. The best part of the meal was probably the hot tea. Then to add insult to injury when it came time to pay, the waitress saw my card and barked, 'Do you have cash?? Too many people paying with credit card, too expensive.' Uhh, ok, so I paid in cash and left about half the tip I was planning to leave. Needless to say, I would definitely not come back here. read more

Tasteless food chow main has no noodles fried rice was brown reg rice no good I didn't even eat mine

Very dissatisfied and disappointed in our dinner of Broccoli Beef ( no flavor and meat was tough) chicken almond sub gum was flavorless and the breading on the sweet and sour chicken was very heavy. Egg flower soup was the only thing we liked. We told the server we didn't like the meal and no discount or alternative was offered. read more

Ordered Grubhub earlier in the day for an evening delivery on Christmas Eve . 15 minutes before delivery time, my order was canceled. Apparently they closed early. But they get the notification when I order. They were open. So instead of them canceling right then, the delivery driver showed up and the restaurant was closed. I went and picked up at another place. read more

Have been to many others for take out in Salem and even Portland and by far the best we've found. Great prices and very nice folks too. Our go to from now on! read more

Worst Chinese I've ever had. The only thing here that was okay was the egg flower soup. The crab puffs tasted spoiled, bbq pork had NO flavor, and my the fried rice..... if you could even call it that. Was literally boiled rice with chopped up pork and STRINGS of egg. AND MY ORDER WAS $40. Way overpriced garbage read more

I love this place but it's always a hit and miss kind of thing. They often forget things in the order or make it wrong but even then it's still good food. I ordered seared salmon this time and I usually ask for it to have a good sear but this is what I got... messy and greasy read more

Golden Crown always has amazing food, and amazing customer service. They are always so kind!! I love coming here

For about 10+ years our family has gone to one Chinese Restaurant faithfully, and on a whim we decided to try out Golden Crown for the first time last night. I was impressed from the helpful & lovely staff, the tea, the homemade dumplings, to all the food we ordered! It would almost be impossible to go to the other Chinese restaurant now, other than the fact that Golden Crown is closed on Sundays :( If you want fresh, fast, and simply DELICIOUS Chinese food, you need to give Golden Crown a try! read more

Always friendly, and the food is very good I always order a single order of pork chow mein to take home. There's enough in it for a couple days for me. Nice order. And I want to crack something the owner is not Chinese he is Vietnamese. read more

The iconic American-Chinese (not Chinese-American because this is really something we created) restaurant. Not fancy, but exactly what you would expect. The food was quick, hot and how I envision it. I had the fried shrimp and sweet n sour pork with some chow mein and pan-fried noodles. I'll repeat it was just as I expected but would have preferred if they had laid off the celery and used some other vegetables to round it off--but it was what I expected especially for the price. I grew up with egg fu yung being a little egg mixed with a small amount of chopped celery and Chinese five spice and fresh bean sprouts--very simple and light. Here it looks more like a thick veggie pattie with a brown gravy that would be perfect to slather over your traditional Thanksgiving dinner mashed potatoes. I'm not fond of it, but Lynette and our guest loved the holy heck out of it and couldn't get enough. Take that as you will. Not much else to say except to endorse other reviews that report American sized portions. If we want American-Chinese, we will come back. Thank you. read more

We dine here often but today was the first time we dined for lunch. The restaurant was quiet but still sparkling clean. Service staff was friendly, as usual. They offer a lunch menu with reduced pricing compared to dinner. But the portions are still large enough to share. We had the chicken lo mein, egg flower soup and pork fried rice. Everything was fresh as always. I see a number of reviews here that are less than stellar, but I am a particular fan of Cantonese Chinese vs. some of the other more popular "styles" commonly found in Salem and the W Coast in general. Golden Crown delivers fresh, tasty Cantonese every time and I always enjoy their atmosphere and service. We will continue to frequent the restaurant whenever the "yen" for Chinese strikes. read more

This is our family favorite place for Chinese food. Generous helpings and good prices.

We love going here for our Chinese food. Today the noodles was stale and when we told server she acknowledged that they knew they were stale. We thought after she left, Wow and you are still serving them. They did make the food taste a little off. We would have rather had the food without the noodles. Next time we will ask for the noodles on the side. Highly recommend this place if you want good Chinese food. read more

Always consistent. Food is always flavorful. This time I got it in a combo. The service here is always good too. The family is very friendly and always a pleasurable. read more

Service was good, food, alright. Chow mein had hardly any bean sprouts, and Mongolian beef had only a few pieces of beef, mostly vegetable plate. Sweet and sour looked like it wasn't in house made. read more

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Salem Oregon. The food is always fresh and the service is always fast & friendly. We ordered the dinner special for three of us and we could barely eat half because there was so much food. We will eat the rest for lunch tomorrow. Lunch specials are great too. We eat half and the other half the next day. If you are really hunger you can eat the lunch special in one sitting. Hope you enjoy this Chinese restaurant as much as we do. read more

We love Golden Crown! Always delicious and friendly. The Special Chowmein is a must try!

This is my family's favorite restaurant. We have come for 13 years when the family gathers or for a Birthday. We love pork fried rice, teriyaki chicken, egg rolls, Broccoli Beef and hot and sour soup. The taste is superb - we all share the different foods. They have take out too! read more

Delicious food, friendly staff/owner. Great family business. Pot stickers and egg rolls are sooo good!

Spent $36 on my order. General Tso chicken, pork fried rice, lo mein noodles and vegetable fried rice. I ordered both the sauces on the side. The sauce for the noodles was so salty. Everything was not good at all. A friend also got a larger order of food to go as well. Her food was awful as well. Both of us ended throwing everything out because of how awful it was. Totally a waste of our time going there and even worse, an absolute waste of money. We will never go there again. I would I could give them a rating of negative stars. read more

Wow, this place is excellent. I've travelled far and wide and this restaurant rivals if not surpasses all of the best Chinese cuisine I've had in Chinatown in Canada in both B.C. and Ontario. Nothing in Vegas or California can compare either. Highly recommend this restaurant! I've been here countless times. read more
