Super busy on Christmas day, but they handled it as smoothly as possible. We were told the long wait prior to ordering, so we knew what to expect. Have eaten here many times and even with how busy they were the food was the same great quality, chicken was so tender and they even got a special request of mushrooms instead of green peppers right. The kid up front was a little stressed, but still was very friendly to all and even offered to call everyone when their order was ready. They did a great job on their busiest day of the year! read more

Very authentic Chinese food. It's located in a semi-empty strip mall but don't let the location dissuade you in trying this place. It has a few tables to sit and eat but most of their customers are takeout. I ordered at the counter and picked it up and ate there; no table service or wait staff. The food was very good and reasonably priced, and the restaurant looks very clean . Will definitely come back! read more

Lots of parking, and it's not too far from my house. A win is a win. Service was very friendly. There's not a whole lot of decor to the place, but it's calm and unassuming. If you need to hold a conversation with someone, the music isn't too loud preventing that. Music was a mix, they did have "Golden" in the mix and ngl, I had to force myself not to sing along. They have lunch specials, even on Sundays. It's a great way to try a lot of options for cheaper. The lunch menu comes with a generous size entree, 2 scoops of fried rice, egg drop soup, a veggie spring roll and a fried cream cheese wonton. I got a few items, and we had so much food it's still in the fridge. Walnut shrimp was crispy, sauce wasn't overly sweet, nice crunch from the candied walnuts. You get a good portion. The shrimp was not overcooked. Yum. 8/10 Shrimp with lobster sauce, it was a little salty for me but had a nice mix of veggies, and the sauce didn't have too much cornstarch, so it wasn't gelatinous like at some places. Nice flavors though. Nothing overpowering. 6/10 Beef Chow Fun -not on the lunch menu but I literally get it at every Chinese place that has it. The rice noodles were not overcooked, beef was seasoned well and tender, not chewy. 10/10 would get that again. Hot and sour soup was pretty good. I could stand for it to have more "sour" to it. The flavors were a bit mellow for me. I like a more aggressively flavored hot and sour soup. Not bad though. 6.5/10 Mongolian beef. Nice tender beef, well cooked and seasoned. Good beef to onion ratio. 8/10. Chicken with mushrooms-saucy, full of veggies with a mild brown sauce. They had zucchini in it, and I love zucchini and mushrooms together. There was a lot of chicken, and it was seasoned well, not too salty. Definitely tasty. 8/10. Would I be back? Probably. I'm glad I found this spot. I've driven by it plenty, it's one you don't want to miss though! read more

Easy to find, park, order and short wait for fresh food take away. I needed some Wor Wonton soup before leaving the valley and my husband ordered chicken fried rice with a side of sweet and sour sauce. CFR is one size but was very good. The soup was fresh and excellent. Ordered 2 bags of wonton chips to go with the soup but really only needed one. Place is small with limited seating. Mostly take out business. Very nice people though a little rushy. I'll be back for more, for sure. read more

Got take out, got delayed by traffic. They were gracious enough to let me keep the lunch special price even though I was thirty minutes late. Yeah I just ordered from here two days ago and back. Mongolian Beef lunch special - $8.15! Better than panda and equal to PeiWei. Really like they're hot and sour soup.What you could substitute for from egg drop. The Mongolian beef was quite tasty.Service is you would expect for any take out. They did good by me. read more

Golden Dragon - Mongolian Beef lunch special - $8.15! Better than panda and equal to PeiWei. - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Came here twice- first experience was amazing. Everything was packaged perfectly either in sturdy plastic containers or the rice boxes. (If you're traveling far maybe ask for this packaging) Ordered about $80 worth of food - it took about 10 to 15 minutes to make everything - it was fresh hot & delicious!!! We ordered : Orange chicken 2 orders of combination fried rice chicken fried rice pepper steak and crab puffs This fed about 6-8ppl depending on portion sizes. My second visit on the other hand is where I would have lost a star- I did order a combo on this visit, not knowing things were packaged all together- they weren't the first time..... I should've asked- or known with a combo I guess- so this is partially of on me but... all the juices leaked out in the bottom of the bag, which then leaked out onto the seat of my car. :( Everything was smashed together. I paid extra for the house combination fried rice. I wasn't expecting it to be smooshed in the same container with the meat. Super disappointing. No napkins in the bag of course that would've been helpful. Lol Second visit was combo of combination fried rice upgraded from white rice with an entree that comes w tiny broth cup - 1 egg roll 1 crab puff and I also ordered a full side order of crab puffs- they are awesome here!!!!! Spent $30 this is enough food to feed 2-3 ppl again depending on portion sizes- the Food came out quick maybe 10 minutes for this visit. Parking is ample - restaurant is clean and quiet- it's an easy in and out off of 59th - in the same plaza as the QT. Service is great. The people here are very nice. read more

Why dies my review need to be 85 characters? Food really good. DoorDash service sucks. Rude and uninformative and unhelpful

First time getting takeout from here and was not disappointed. The Orange Beef was packed with flavor and the Kung Pao veggies were on point. Would definitely come here again. The portions are huge; it was enough for dinner and lunch the next day. read more

I hadn't eaten there since they moved across the street and stopped delivery. I decided to make the trip for carry out. Their food is still as good and their prices have not skyrocketed like many restaurants. Their portions are large and their fried rice with a combo was great! Unlike some that I wouldn't even call fried rice. Highly recommend. read more

Food is great!! Service is friendly!! I wish we could combine some things for the lunch special but I can't complain because the price is such a steal for such good food!! I have to stop myself from going every day!! Keep it up Golden Dragon!!! read more

If you are from the East Coast then finally you will have found Chinese food that you have been missing! Took me 11 years living here in AZ and finally found my fave Chinese spot! The fried rice and egg rolls are just like you remember. The staff was very friendly as well! read more

I love this place! Delicious food, huge portions, orange chicken is the go-to food. I've explored other dishes, but orange chicken is my favorite. The young gentlemen that work there are super nice, there is also a lady that always remembers me. The place is clean and you will see people eating there, they have some tables. It's a great place to check out. read more

Very, very, very casual and low key. You might even say they are cut from the old school Chinese restaurants. But if you're craving Chinese, not looking to make a big deal out of the dining experience and better yet need a go-to takeout Chinese restaurant, you've found it. We had the Kung Pow Chicken (level 5 which was not at all challenging if you are hesitant), Hot & Sour soup, spring rolls and Orange Chicken. All of it was delicious. We definitely will be going back especially for take out. Served right on time and fresh. read more

First time here, was a good choice! Service was excellent and so was the food! I had the chicken lo mein and my son had the combo lo mein, both were very tasty! So were the egg rolls. It was very clean and a nice place to enjoy lunch. Definitely will come back read more

this was one of the worst Chinese rest. yet. born & raised NYC, and this food is horrible, i was recommended by another NYC but i guess he didn't know what real Chinese food is. i ordered shrimp with lobster sauce, it should have shrimp, scallions, peas & carrots in a thick white sauce with egg. I got shrimp, mushrooms, green peppers, onions in a thin grayish color sauce, the only that was correct was the shrimp. we got egg fu young, another disaster the eggs were dry and looked they were pre-made. i could go on with the rest, but i think you get the idea. if you're from NYC and know real Chinese food, don't do it. we ate some the rest in the garbage $50 bucks down the drain read more

We read reviews so we checked it out and honestly....not impressed. I've accepted the fact that Phoenix just doesn't have the type of Chinese food I'm used to from back east but we have been looking for a decent place since Covid took out our old go to spot. We "dined in" for lunch and food was brought to us in styrofoam to go boxes which we ate from (which isn't a deal breaker) but..not even paper plates which was hard since we were sharing apps and lo mein in addition to our personal meals. The pupu platter included "Chinese barbecue ribs " which are normally my favorite. They were practically dehydrated and the meat tasted "gamey" for lack of a better word, (so much so I spit it back into my napkin which I NEVER do). Fried rice was wet and flavorless. The reason I gave two stars instead of one: My husband did enjoy the Kung Pao chicken and the food was hot and reasonable lunch prices (but then again..you get what you pay for). No drinks except canned soda. We had quite a bit of food left and it went in the trash (and I love Chinese left overs) If you want a cheap Chinese meal and aren't worried at all about quality ..then this is your place. read more

I am so bummed to make this review because this was our go to take out spot for YEARS. Last night we ordered a Pupu tray for 3 and the Sesame chicken and I was so disappointed in the quality compared to previous orders from them. The PuPu appetizer- The dumplings were bad-seemed boxed and microwaved or something. The eggrolls and crab puffs were not crispy. HOWEVER the ribs were better than ever! When it came to the entree it was incredibly lacking in flavor and mushy. I was so looking forward to this meal because it had been about 5 months since we had it last. The prices went up but the quality went down. read more

Food is fantastic. The service is very good. And they have affordable prices. I live far so I grab two meals and the pu pu platter when I am close. read more

Ordered House Special Chicken---great sauce, lots of chicken, good flavor. Husband ordered Seafood Combination and loved the variety and great taste--veggies were done, not 1/2 raw. We will be back! read more

First time and will be back. This is a no-frills place mostly geared towards take-out. There are 5 tables for eat-in, however. The food is served in all styrofoam, which is becoming quite common. Ordered beef & broccoli lunch combo for LESS than $9! Hearty portion of beef and of broccoli in a tasty sauce with two large scoops of fried rice. The combo includes a spring roll, crab puff and egg drop soup. The soup was also kind of bland, but the other sides were good. The fried rice was also pretty bland, but the main course made up for the shortcomings. Again, will certainly be back. read more

Love the food here took the family and everyone enjoyed. Love the selection of food always very accommodating.

It's hard to find good Chinese food in suburban Phoenix. I'm from Chicago where we have good food. This place is very good, the food delicious , big portions , great price. Buying for one and having enough for three.... read more

Loved this place. we go Golden Dragon every week. Best lunches and Best prices 7 days a week. Foods are made fresh to orders. Not like panda express the Foods under heat lamps for hour and hour. Super friendly staffs. So happy we found this place. read more

The food was awesome. I had the sweet and sour pork lunch special that came with a spring roll, crab puff, soup, and white rice with soy sauce (which they called fried rice). The portion/amount of food was generous, and the price was reasonable. You have to order at the counter, and if you eat in, they bring your food on a tray. The restaurant is very clean, and the person who took my order was nice. The only thing that I would have liked to have was real fried rice, but almost all places that serve fried rice in a combo serve white rice with soy sauce, so I can live with that. I have been making a tour of Chinese food in the North Valley, and this has been the best so far. read more

Golden Dragon - Lunch special served 11AM to 3 PM - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Quick service, but average food. A classic take-out Chinese place that's a step above chain restaurants.

I went here for their lunch special and got general tao's / tso's (unsure which one they call it) chicken. it was really good! came with soup, crab rangoon, spring egg roll, rice & the chicken for $13. i give 4 stars bc it was nothing like super spectacular.. its definitely good dont get me wrong, it tastes like that mall chinese food you crave without all the msg and whatnot. the service was good too. read more

Food way too oily and greasy. This is NOT worth your money. To go Panda Express way better...

We got the lunch special and the prices were low, the portions were big, the food was good, and the appetizers are amazing. The service was quick and the food was fresh. We would eat here every day if we lived closer. read more

The service and food here is amazing and you can tell everyone is a hard worker. I've come here since I was 13 with my family, and I'm 21 now. I have to say I've had many memories with this place, and It's definitely worth making it your new lunch spot read more

We got there at lunch time. There was no one there. Should have been a clue. Lots of food but wasn't the flavor or quality I was looking for. Wasted my money on a substandard meal. Won't go back. read more

We have loved everything we've tried. We've done takeout at least 6 times now and this is our new go-to place.

Four out of five perfect dishes! Shrimp in lobster sauce Orange Chicken Chicken LoMein Chicken fried rice Egg Foo Yung . The patties for the egg foo yung were just dense and flavorless. I like mine with a lot of vegetables mixed in the patties and fluffy egg. I am quite pleased with this place though and will keep ordering on the regular! read more

So my wife and I have been on a search for good egg rolls since we moved here from NY. Most of the time they're tiny, super greasy, and just overall not very good. So we decided to try here. These egg rolls are amazing. They're a good size, nice and crispy without being greasy and the cabbage on the inside is seasoned great and tastes fresh. We will definitely be returning here! read more

Craving Chinese food and this was nearby my work & had good reviews. Called in and made a pickup order. Bought a lunch special chicken teryiaki plate. There was ample amount of chicken. But the fried rice was burned. The chicken was rubbery and very little flavor to the teriyaki sauce. The rangoons were soaked in old-tasting oil and not crispy. read more

Food, portions and service is amazing. We order to go all the time. My favorite is the walnut shrimp and friend rice. My only complaint is I wish they had delivery! read more

Always good value for the price. If you're getting fried rice, skip the shrimp - you only get a few. But the chicken fried rice is solid. And the general tso's chicken is excellent read more

I can't understand the positive reviews. I went here because I was in the area and read on another review that it's just like New York style Chinese food. Maybe they had a different cook when they went, but it is nothing at all like New York Chinese food. The quality of the food was awful and it was tasteless. The egg roll was overcooked. There is no ambience at all, but what really surprised me is they do not give out cups of water. I asked for a cup of water, and was told they have no water and I would need to purchase a store brand one for $1. When a restaurant in the desert doesn't give out a complimentary cup of tap water, it tells you something. I went to eat inside there, and they gave the food in styrofoam. To add insult to injury, my son didn't like his food and didn't want it and they would not take it back for something else. I took his to-go and it leaked out because it was so watery. My son then was sick from the food when we got home. I wouldn't eat here again if it were free. You've been warned. read more

10/10 recommend! This family-run restaurant has good quality, authentic Chinese food! Every dish is full of flavor & comes out fresh. All the staff is so kind & takes such great care of their customers. The restaurant itself is in a small plaza but is very modern & clean inside. Overall great experience here & will definitely be returning! read more

This is the best Chinese fast food that you will find in the area. The house special chicken, Thai spicy noodles, and sweet and sour chicken were all spot on and for a price that you can't beat. I think I'll skip the egg foo young because it was just okay and I can't wait to see what else they have to offer. Again this is the best Chinese takeout in the area. read more

The staff is all sooo friendly! The food was super delicious and was quickly prepared, the only thing I'll say is the Mushroom chicken was a drop too salty and was more mushroom then chicken and I had to add some extra sauce to give the Cantonese Mei Fun noodles some more flavor :) but we will be back for sure as we appreciate great service, plus the prices where just right ! read more
