Lo Mein
Clancy K.

We all know that customer service these days is abysmal in most places, but Golden Dragon evidently didn't get the memo. After a 9 hour drive, I had a special request and they bent over backward to accommodate me. Every staff member I interacted with was relaxed, polite, authentic. Ordered lo mein and it came with the right amount of a tasty sauce, fresh vegetables, piping hot. I'm traveling through from south Texas, but I will certainly come again if my travels bring me back. A can't miss experience!

I've been told this was one of the best Asian restaurants in Stillwater, if not the best. Stillwater is a southern/lower Midwestern College town, so the bar is not exactly high. I went in the summertime when flies were plentiful. My food came out hot, fastand what might expect from a more Americanized Asian restaurant. That being said, I expected a layered medley of flavors. I did not get that. I could also tell where they cut corners with certain ingredients. I think the average Oklahoma will like this restaurant, but I am always leery of Asian restaurants that don't have any Asian customers in them. However , Stillwater does not have a sizable Asian population, so they have to play to their American clientele. For what it is, I would say the food is pretty fair. The service was top-notch. It was nice and quiet in there. Good for a decent lunch, and definitely friendly for a big crowd.

The outside is deceiving but, I was pleasantly surprised when we walked into this place for dinner tonight. It reminds me of a nicer Wahaha (favorite Asian food in Edmond). The air is struggling so it was hot but a very clean and eye appealing atmosphere. The waitress we had was again perfectly attentive (I'm starting to remember what a great waiting staff looks like everywhere we go) and the good quality for the price I thought was very fair. Not cheap but not grossly expensive. My kids loved their meals and the scoop of ice cream at the end was icing on the cake (they had strawberry, vanilla or chocolate). I had the Panang curry and it was good but definitely not the best I've ever had. I would try another curry dish next time I come. My husband has beef and broccoli and the vegetables were cooked nicely. Overall good stop.

I love the place and the service as well. For the food is delicious. I gonna come back for another foods.

Basil Fried rice

While in Stillwater for the 2023 Special Olympics, The Wife and I needed a chinese fix, and Golden Dragon Cafe popped up as being both highly rated and close to our hotel. We arrived around 6 and were promptly seated. Drink and app orders were taken and we were left to check out the offerings. There are a lot of seriously good looking items on the menu, but in the end, we played it a little safe and stayed with what we were familiar with, albeit at other locations, this being our first outing to the Golden Dragon. Egg rolls and egg drop soup me, and fried dumplings for The Wife, which were shared. The egg rolls were the disappointment of the evening. They weren't bad, they just had nothing going for them. The dumplings were fantastic, and the sorta hot sauce on the side the perfect accompaniment. The egg drop soup had a rich flavor and good body to it. Soup is something often overlooked in restaurants, and if you get a good one for an app, you can almost always be the cooks are attentive and care about what they're doing, which proved to be the case. The Basil Fried Rice was nothing short of phenomenal. As a fried rice snob, I exist in a vertiable wasteland of fried rice in the Tulsa area. How no one can seem to make such a simple dish worth eating escapes me completely. This stuff tho.... man, it was great. Well seasoned, the rice was textured perfectly and balanced with the right amount of additions. Had we not also ordered two other entrees to share, I would have cleaned house on it. The Beef Lo Mein was also well done. A little more saucy than I prefer, it was nonetheless a great offering. Noodles cooked properly, tender slices of beef and celery. I would have liked to see some onion, scallion and bean sprouts, but that's a personal preference, and in no way a criticism of the dish. The Chicken Chow Mein arrived late to the table, but when it got there it was well received. Tender pieces of dark meat chicken surrounded by properly sized bites of vegetables (lots of places seem to cut their veg too big) in a rich sauce. Nothing at all wrong with this one. Wait staff were on point, friendly and courteous. If I had one of these places close to home, I'd be a regular.

This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT IN STILLWATER!…read more I always order the small ribeye with the sweet broth. I smother it in the sweet sauce given to you once your meat is served and wrap it in cabbage, and it's just to die for. I always leave having eaten too much food, but incredibly satisfied. This place is definitely an acquired taste, and you have to find the meat (and broth/sauce combos) that's right for you. I love that they give cabbage instead of lettuce (unlike many hotpot places). You can also reorder rice and not be charged for it! So great!! The environment is low-lit and comfy; it looks a little old in there. The service has always been so great, with waiters/waitresses that are so patient and more than willing to walk you through the menu. I've never waited for very long there, either. It's always been a great and positive experience. The pricing is on the higher side, and for a college student, that isn't ideal. I usually eat here once a month, or more if I can afford it. I'd eat it daily if I could, seriously. That would be my only complaint about the restaurant. But in this economy, I don't blame them. Overall, if I could eat this place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I would. Seriously, it's that good.

Incredible food; abysmal service. Stillwater has the luck of enjoying a kitchen staff that…read moreunderstands how to execute shabu shabu well. They also have somehow paired this lovely kitchen staff with some of the worst servers in existence (the bar for quality service is already low in a college town and someone Tokyo Pot has found people that can't even meet that low standard). During a 70 minute dinner this past week, we saw our emotionless server a complete total of two times. Once, when we were able to place a drink and food order, and then again, when they came by to ask if we were done and unceremoniously leave the machine we could pay our check with. The kitchen staff did a fantastic job of bringing our food (which was wonderfully prepared and tasty), but we really could have used another round of drinks, at a minimum. If you're going to hire people who only do the bare minimum, don't expect much repeat business

I was prepared to love this restaurant, but I was disappointed. To be fair, they just opened a…read morecouple of days ago and we got there at the tail end of their rush hour. They had a sign up welcoming customers to their soft opening and asking for constructive criticism. The biggest disappointment was the calamari. It tasted like frozen onion rings. The thick batter was identical to the batter of frozen onion rings. When I bit into the first one, the calamari came out, revealing what a tiny sliver of calamari was inside the thick breading. I would definitely recommend choosing a different appetizer. I like that they have lunch specials which include eggroll, choice of rice, and choice of soup. Dan and I both got Pad Thai with shrimp, egg drop soup, and fried rice. Our grandson got lo Mein with beef, won ton soup, and fried rice. He liked his soup and entree. The egg rolls were a little greasy and we didn't get a sauce for them. We did not like the fried rice. It was dry and had an unpleasant flavor. I couldn't tell what spice I was tasting, but it seemed to belong in an Indian restaurant instead of an Asian restaurant. The dry and underdone texture added to the unpleasantness. Dan and I both love Pad Thai, but we didn't enjoy this. We ordered it around 2:00. It might have been fresher earlier. The sauce seemed too thick and a little sweet. As the sign said, this was a soft opening. I will try them again after they've been open awhile.

A nice spot if you're looking for a variety of different Asian food for dinner. The service can be…read moreslow something when it's busy, but that says a lot about its popularity. They do a great takeout as well!
