    General Tso's lunch special
    Rebecca W.

    I tried the garlic chicken for the 1st time today. I am a lover of garlic. Although this dish was tasty, I did not detect any garlic in it. The fried dumplings were huge and filled just right. They were very good. I still say that my favorite dish here so far is the general Tso's chicken. The family who own and run this place is very friendly. The service is always fast. Great place to stop and grab lunch or get dinner to take home.

    The most difficult thing for my family to find is decent Chinese food. Unfortunately I am hard to please when it comes to chicken and it really tasting like chicken to me. I struggle with mystery meat ... however this place was pretty good. We must have read 30 reviews before choosing this place and that is how I discovered that we are just VERY cautious about where we order from out of fear of disappointment.... I will say it was refreshing to encounter a place that makes the food fresh and you can tell. The food was not salty and they got it ready pretty quick. This is mainly a small take out spot. If they had chairs, they may have been put up. The restaurant was busy and the parking lot was full .... This was a great find and a pleasant surprise

    I grew up living near Golden Dragon and it was the place we would always get our Chinese food from. It is comfort food. And I know that every time I order, it will be consistent. That's what I like the most - consistency. On this particular order, I got the shrimp with Chinese vegetables combo, which came with an egg roll (dinner combo.) This was my first time getting this dish, and I chose it because it wasn't fried. I don't know if I would get it again, but it was something different. FYI - They are not open on Mondays. So do not crave Chinese food on Mondays if you would like to get take out from here.

    This restaurant is always busy, though the workers do an outstanding job filing all the orders. Their food is also very good, as one can tell from the reviews. The employees are friendlier than normal too. The prices tend to be a dollar or so higher than the cost of each food item for the other Chinese restaurants in the area.

    Last seen wearing a white sweater, ordering Lo Mein. Should be considered armed with a fork and extremely full.

    Wanna see my golden dragon? OK it's really not gold. Kinda brown ish. Tan colour. This is a pretty cool and extremely cheap Chinese restaurant, with pretty good Curry Shrimp (though not spicy enough) that they sell by the small or large order. Small orders of everything are cheap as a motherf*****. The lady is friendly, the orders take around 7 minutes at most, and it's pretty good across the board. Not the best place to sit in and eat, but there's a few tables if that's your thing. I can't give 5 stars because there are so many Chinese places up in Amherst that sell real Chinese food, such as Gin Gin, China King on Maple, Peking Quick One, Home Taste, Mandarin Garden, Wok N Roll and others. I much prefer real authentic Home Style Chinese. I know this review has managed to Drag-on. So I'll end it.

    Golden Dragon is your typical fast food Chinese food. What makes them different though from alot of other restaurants, is that their food always taste fresh. I always enjoyed their shrimp egg Fu young (3 patties), it's a simple dish but it taste really good. It also comes with a side of gravy. Their chicken lo mein is also good. The restaurant has 3 tables if you care to eat in. I normally just order take out

    I've been craving Chinese food. And I stopped here , I was really impressed the food was ready quick and smelled amazing the ride home was tourture ......one home I was surprised as I haven't always had good experience with Chinese food But the food was soooo good everything tasted buttery, the Fried rice had big pieces of shrimp throughout , the chicken was cooked to perfection with a tangy sauce , the portion was filling........very satisfying

    Hectic-day lazy takeout pickup.
    Tara K.

    At the end of a hectic day, we had one more errand to run. It happened to go by, and pass back by Golden Dragon on the way home. So this tired old mom ordered takeout to grab on the way back after we completed our errand. No website for Golden Dragon, so we reviewed recent menu photos in Yelp to choose our foods. We are a mostly meatless fam', and Golden Dragon's vegetarian menu is fairly limited compared to some other Chinese takeouts we frequent. Even so, exhaustion won, and we went with a few of their available meat-free options: an order of Szechuan bean curd, an order of broccoli in garlic sauce, and a large order of vegetable lo mein. I called to place the order, which was easy enough. Foods were ready in fifteen minutes, which was good timing for us. The total bill for the three dishes was about $30, about ten bucks an entrée, comparable to most Chinese takeout. Pickup was smooth, with easy parking in the little strip mall lot where the restaurant is located. The food itself was okay. The Szechuan bean curd was maybe half tofu if that, mostly vegetables. It tasted good enough, but I like when the tofu proportion is more generous. The broccoli in garlic sauce was actually mixed vegetables in garlic sauce, with not all that much broccoli. Both dishes were marked spicy in the menu, and I'm usually sensitive to fairly mild spice, but these were not spicy at all. They tasted fine, but definitely not spicy as the menu suggested. The vegetable lo mein was alright too, just a typical lo mein. Overall our order from Golden Dragon was okay. Not bad, not great, just middle-of-the-road Chinese takeout. I won't go out of my way to order from here again since their vegetarian options are fewer than other places we like, but if I'm going by and want to grab fast Chinese dinner in a pinch, it is good enough for that scenario.

    Finally had the chance to dine in. Walked in at 1:45pm on a Monday and there was soft music playing…read morein the dining room. I was seated and immediately served complimentary tea, and fried wontons with sweet and sour sauce. I ordered the Kung Pao lunch special which comes with a choice of egg roll or soup, and white or vegetable friend rice. I chose the wonton soup and fried rice, and I ordered an egg roll as well. The egg roll came out quickly, and the lunch special was served right when I finished that. The food was good and the dish was spicy (Kung Pao is supposed to be spicy but it never is-- not for me) and the service was polite. When the check came it was accompanied by a plate with two slices of orange and a fortune cookie. The only thing I didn't like about the visit was that there was an advertisement for a big commercial law firm on the back of the fortune slip and the "lucky number" was the phone number. I thought that was tacky. I walked out at 1:15pm. Great, quick lunch.

    Nice people, good food, pleasant atmosphere: because I can never decide which is more important,…read morethey are equally important factors when rating a restaurant. Golden Hill has all three. And a lunch menu. Wow! I just gave my receipt another look and the people are nicer than I thought. I thought they were pleasant, friendly, happy we were there, concerned that we would enjoy our visit. The lunch menu offerings were each $10.95 and included eggroll OR soup, and white or vegetable fried rice. Daughter ordered the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus an appetizer order of steamed dumplings. I ordered Eggplant with Pork in Garlic sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus a small bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. The soup on the appetizer menu was $3.95. My receipt shows the server put the soup as my lunch choice and charged $2.95 for the eggroll. She never said a word, didn't point out that I could save a dollar by switching the sides around. So the people are all I thought plus kind and conscientious. Marvelous. I was delighted with everything I ate. The entree was enough for two, so supper came home with me. The eggroll was fresh and crisp and non-greasy, seemed homemade. Excellent. The eggplant was perfectly prepared and cooked, as was the pork. Delicious. The hot and sour soup was easily one of the best I've had, and I'm always looking for a great hot and sour soup. Coming from downtown Buffalo, we'd been in Williamsville because I had an appointment on Essjay Rd. Afterward, we looked for a place to have lunch before shopping. Finding Golden Hill at 4001 Sheridan Dr. in Amherst was pure serendipity. You can bet, though, that I will visit again after next appointment.

    We've been back to Golden Dragon twice very recently and were quite happy with most items. The menu…read moreis huge, so we expect we'll find a lot more to like. Their lo mein is totally different than when they first opened and I love it now. I got beef the first time, but it comes with very little, so I opted for vegetable the second time. Not a lot of vegetables throughout (mostly on top, as you can see in the photo), but it was really delicious! Both times the lo mein noodles were the perfect firmness and had great flavor. I want it again and again! Matt didn't enjoy his sesame beef. The batter is too thick, and the beef gets completely lost. I like that they will do sauce on the side. We like to toss it ourselves last minute so that it doesn't get soggy. Better for leftovers, too. They do charge an extra $1.50, but they give you a lot of the sauce. The wonton soup is amazing! A small is only $3.95 and it comes with five big pork wontons. Makes me happy because I get wonton soup cravings. I'll definitely be getting this again. The General Tso's Chicken is spot on. The pork egg rolls are good, your typical egg roll. The crab rangoons are also quite good. Their prices are great and the service has always been friendly. I'm so glad we tried again, they're really close by, makes it very convenient. We're definitely going to be frequently returning regular customers. Thanks Golden Dragon!!

We got a bunch of stuff and everything was delicious. Literally the best beef lo mein I've had since I moved here six years ago. I've been just settling with it at other places so this was an exciting discovery! We also ordered sesame shrimp. It wasn't like other sesame dishes we've gotten. It was a pink sauce that was similar to sweet and sour, but it was very good and the shrimp were large and plump and cooked perfectly. We tried their fried dough just on a whim and it's like nothing I've had before... it's a nice little add on for $3.50. They have American Chinese and also authentic dishes, which is fun. Prices are in line with other Chinese food restaurants and portions are pretty generous. We'll definitely be back...like, hopefully very soon!

I only had their American style Chinese food, but they also had a large menu of authentic Chinese cuisine on the weekend. The interior is simple but very clean, with lots of booths. I highly recommend Crystal Asian for great Chinese food!
