I bought chicken fingers on 9-25-25 and lemme tell you they completely change and the food taste soo much better than before and best of all THEY actually have REAL DUCKSAUCE 10/10, also the lady was nice great customer service read more

just got take out from this restaurant, and everything was absolutely disgusting!!! I not only couldn't eat it, but threw it away!!!! what a waste of 26.00!!!!!!!!!! read more

Not the same as it use to be. Won't be back. Had the pork fried rice, and it definitely wasn't fresh. Very disappointing because I work in the neighborhood and was hoping it be a spot I could go once in while. read more

My family likes the crab rangoons, lo mein, and beef teriyaki from here. The lo mein is a little bit smoky in just the right way and you don't feel the usual sluggish-ness that other lo meins give you after you're done eating which is a plus! The beef teriyaki is pretty yummy I just don't have it in the pic for this order. We would order trays of crab rangoons from here for gatherings and guests would ask us where we ordered them from! read more

Golden Dragon Island - Crab rangoons, Beef lo mein, Shrimp lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Wow - we have finally found our go to place for our area! The only thing that could be better - is they could deliver.... They are in a small strip center with very limited parking. The interior is very outdated but they do have a couple booths that you could eat there if you really wanted to but it is mostly setup to be a takeout place. I really like that you can see right into the kitchen and see them cooking. We ordered our typical order... lo mien, fried rice, beef and broccoli, crab rangoons and beef teriyaki. The beef and broccoli was really good and perfectly seasoned. The lo mien was very different than what I have had in the past having flat almost linguine style noodles - but it was very good. Pick up time is quick - 20 minutes during dinner time. read more

Golden Dragon Island - Very different beef lo mein... but it was good! Just pasta, beef, onions and water chestnuts - Chinese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

I really loved the food, I went there with my friends and they also liked it! The people in there is really nice too!

I've been going to this place since I was kid and never had any major problems, if they mess up your order (which they don't do a lot) just tell them and they will immediately fix it. I love their food and the people are always kind. They give you a lot of food and it's always made fresh! My favorite is their egg roles and lo mein. read more

Golden Dragon Island - Fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

This was my number 1 Chinese place to go. Now with the new management this place is going down hill. So sad the food taste so nasty, so oily and you can tell is cheap food, no quality at all. My favorite place for over 20 years and now l I'll never go again. Good luck to the new owners. read more

I used to go to this restaurant for their dinner specials and luncheon specials. New owners have taken over and the food is very bland and tastes like they cooked it in dirty grease! I have gone there twice now and there will be no third time. I had to throw each meal away because it was gross! They need to hire different cooks that know how to make a Chinese meal. Usually the car smells extremely good from the aroma of Chinese food, but not from this restaurant. My recommendation is don't take a chance, I'm sure you don't want to waste your money and still end up hungry because you had to throw away your dinner. Buyer Beware!! read more

I like that they allow to you to add more veggies into your food selection for a little price. Friendly and attentive Owners

Tried to order order this past Friday 11/2020. Phone kept ringing and nobody answered. Drove by the next day and saw a sign on the the door that they closed on 11/17/20. They closed for renovations and there is a new owner. No opening date listed. So sad---this was a great place---very clean and great owners. Hope the new owner can live up to the standards that were set. read more

After I read the reviews, I decided to try this Chinese restaurant since I was looking for a different place that makes the few things I like well. I called & told the woman I wanted to order takeout. I said I see online that...she cuts me off to say that they don't have a menu online. I told her I'm looking at the menu on Yelp. She yelled into the phone that they don't have a menu online. I said but...and she proceeded to hang up the phone in my ear without even so much as a goodbye. I hesitated calling back but decided to give it another try after a few mins. I order the #2 combo appetizer & a small house rice. The fried wings were ok but not fried crisp. The beef teriyaki was ok. The boneless ribs & house rice were good. But the crab rangoons were tasteless. It would've been nice if I was given more than one packet of soy sauce. Overall, I'd try this restaurant again. As we are in 2019, it would be nice if they had there menu online since previous Yelpers did not have the complete menu posted. read more

Anytime I make my way to New England I always make sure to make a stop to Golden Dragon Island. I literally tell the lady behind the counter every time I go there that this is the best Chinese food I ever had. I always get the lunch combo with the orange chicken, spare rib tips and the crab rangoons. The food tastes like it was actually cooked in a stir fry pan and not like the other commercial things that you get at everyday carryouts. The crab rangoons have the perfect ratio of crust to creme cheese filling which is important. You don't know the feeling of biting into a Rangoon only to be met with nothingness because there's no cheese (). If you ever find yourself in Worcester ( wos-stah) seriously make sure you pronounce it right or they'll have a fit. Stop by this diamond in the literal rough. read more

If I could have given this place a 0 star rating I would have. We understand it's under new ownership, however, it USED to be our go to place for PuPu platters and lo mein but no more. We ordered a PuPu platter last night, and the butterfly shrimp were inedible - my husband almost broke his tooth trying to eat it. The teryaki stick was not better, and what's with all the red stuff smeared on everything? I tried to talk to the owner today, brought the inedible food to show her, and she really didn't care and offered no help. There were two teenage girls there last night who were very nice, but should not have been left in charge to do the cooking. Save your money, I wouldn't get this crap if they were giving it away. So sad to take a wonderful establishment with great food and great customer service, to make it go downhill so quickly!! Never will go there again!! read more

My husband loves this place it was the only place that he would eat for Chinese food. My cat use to eat the rice from here. When the new owners took over we tried them and nope the food was so gross we will not be going there again. read more

I'm asian and eat a lot of asian cuisines. this is my favorite chinese take out place. they have the best boneless spare ribs, crab ran goons, and house special fried rice. great lunch and dinner specials also. their lomein is different from any other restaurant..flat white noodles. yummy.. read more

I've lived around this restaurant my entire life and it's my go to place for chinese food if I want take out. They have a small dining area but it's more like a pizza place on the inside than a Chinese restaurant. I've never had any problems with the food for the 20ish years I've been eating from there. The prices are reasonable and it's your standard Chinese-American cuisine. If that's what you're in the mood for and you want to eat at home I would say give this place a try. read more

Golden Dragon Island - Pu Pu for 2 with a few extras - Chinese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

First time Im here . Food not bad it's ok... I only went here because it had 4 stars. But this will be first and last, there's plenty other Chinese food restaurants is better in happen to be around this area and wanted to try.. I would've gave it 4 stars also but godddam that lady in the front who took my orders " SHEs FUCKINg RUDE" as hell!!! All I gottah say! Service very bad! read more

This place has gone downhill. I'm guessing it's changed hands again because the food was different than last time, and that wasn't great. Tonight I placed an order by phone. I spoke to a gentleman who didn't seem to be familiar with their menu because I was ordering combo plates. I walked in to get it and the woman states they don't have an order for me and I must have called someplace else. I pulled up the recent outgoing call on my phone and showed her. She apologized and took my order. The gentleman came around the corner and I asked him what happened. He shrugged and walked away. I asked for extra hot mustard and she tells me they don't have any. How does a Chinese food restaurant not have hot mustard? The food wasn't very good. I got beef and broccoli, fried rice and chicken fingers. The beef in the broccoli had a nasty slimy texture and was immediately thrown in the trash. My husband said some of his shrimp was also slimy. The rice was mushy in both of our plates. Nothing had any flavor. This is a very convenient place for us and we've gone there for years. It's not at all the place it used to be. We'll never go back there. read more

Yes this place is under new management but I do not understand the negative reviews from others. When I found out the previous owners were closing the business I thought I was losing my go-to place for Chinese take-out. When it re-opened I didn't think it would be as good. I actually think the quality of the food with the new owners is better! Had the chicken curry last night and it was absolutely delicious. The steamed dumplings and spring rolls are great as is the lo mein. I'm givingmit 4 stars because they did mess my order up once. We do miss the previous owners duck sauce and beef terryaki. All in all I've been very happy with the food under the new management. Hope they keep up the good work! read more

New owners. Food sucked been going for 30 years. So bad we wont go back ever. Wish I knew it was new owners.

This used to be my favorite Chinese food. Hands down best lo mein. Recently they have changed all there recipes and the food is totally different. Very sad I I will not be ordering again. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and have always enjoyed the food they serve. I ordered take out from there last night and the food was awful. The crab rangoons had a thick crust that was hard to chew, the beef terryaki which is usually a dark brown color didn't even look like it was cooked, chicken fingers and fried shrimp were greasy and mushy and the fried rice smelled like garbage. We took the bag of the entire order and thru it out. I found out later today they have new owners and I will never order from them again. Just AWFUL! read more

Absolutely horrible! For one.....We realized once we got home we were missing items from our order. We ordered beef on a stick and couldn't even bite into it or even tear it apart with our fingers it was so tough and they were drowning in some sauce. SO DISGUSTING!!!!! We also ordered the boneless spare ribs which were so fatty we ended up just throwing everything we ordered (and actually got) in the trash. The only thing that was decent was the egg rolls. We found out they are new owners and if we knew that prior to ordering we would have probably gone somewhere else. We will not be returning! read more

I'm so bummed out, this restaurant is under new management...and in this case, new recipes. I was so excited for my favorite lobster sauce for NYE, which used to be a thick sauce, dark brown and filled with ground pork. The new lobster sauce is more of a viscous soup, no meat to be seen. The egg rolls used to be the kind that were "dry" inside with greens and pork...now they are filled with something more cabbage-like. The Peking ravioli (ordered fried) were drenched in some sauce, and soggy. To be fair, pork fried rice and crab Rangoon were good. But it just didn't make up for the rest. read more

It was fine but not something I would feed my family on a special occasion. Fairly quick the beef and broccoli was decent.

Under new management! Unless you like yellow chinese rice and food that all taste the same. Don't go! Save yourself the trip back! Wish someone told me! read more

My family has been coming here for 30 plus years. Always great food! Once you get to know the lady behind the counter she's a sweetheart. Highly recommended. read more

So close to our house, and we never knew the food was so yummy! Definitely our new go-to place for Chinese! read more

I've been coming here for almost 15 years. It's my go to Chinese spot. I've lived in different parts of the country and no other Chinese restaurant compares, to me. I was put on to Combination E by my mom and it's my favorite meal. Complete with crispy chicken fingers, spare ribs, teriyaki sticks and pork fried rice. It's so good! The food is clean and not greasy and it's seasoned just right, not too salty. The price has gone up over the years but I always get it when I'm craving Chinese. I live in LA now and I'm always eager to come back home to try this local eatery. I'd recommend it to anyone. The service...I feel it adds to the character of the restaurant haha. I love it. read more

I retired in Phoenix, AZ. My Mom is 96 yrs. old and lives in Worcester. She can't get out, so I rely on good, honest local restaurants in Worcester to bring my Mom takeout. This restaurant is completely unreliable. THEY DO NOT DELIVER, even though their YELP ad sais that they do. I have gotten 3 different stories about delivery, 3 different times. Finally today some kid admitted that they really don't deliver. I wish they were honest to begin with. But they were not, and I'm telling on them. Their food is somewhat better than what we have out here, but there isn't any good Chinese food in Phoenix. Good luck to them !!! read more

Been ordering takeout here for years. Clean, delicious and order is always accurate. My husband is very picky about eating Chinese food. We drive a couple towns over to order from here. DELICIOUS!!! read more

If you want great chicken wings, pork fried rice, boneless spare ribs, and crab rangoons, this is the best place in Worcester to go!!!! If you want all the above, I recommend a Combo I. This is the ONLY place I will go for Chinese food. Prices aren't so bad, especially since their food is delicious. 5 stars. read more

Great Chinese take out place. I order from them every other Friday. They are quick and always on time for delivery. The food are great.

They don't deliver after 7:30, which would be fine if it made a clear note of that on their Yelp page. Where is the menu or website?

This is the best Chinese food place in the area, with Yung Shing a close second. The rice is brown, not yellow. The duck sauce is a golden yellow, not orange and the chicken fingers are amazing. Love this place. read more

I rate this place 1 star for the service, the lady is rude and shitty to all the customers. I was sitting in there for a good hour and the way she treats and talks to people is not ok. The food does get 5 stars it's delicious though, we had to wait 30 min for our food . I would recommend the food but i also recommend they get a new person to take orders and handle the front ,, not friendly and I will not return. read more

Great food. Called and told them I have a pepper allergy while ordering, she raised her voice and accused me of confusing her, and that there aren't any peppers in the things I ordered. I told her that I just wanted to make sure, and we hung up. When I went to pick up the food, while standing right next to the sign saying "please inform your server of a food allergy", she again scolded me for confusing her. Oh, well. read more

While eating the I combo, we found a fried fly in our food. We proceeded to tell the woman behind the register and she denied it was a fly when there were clearly wings and a body there. She took it to the back and ripped it up. The cook came out and tried to say we saw something else but we know what we saw. They did not give us our money back and continued to deny it was a fly. read more

Has continued to go downhill burning food. It used to be good I wish it still was now I cook my own Chinese. Good luck if you make a complaint they do not except criticism. I gave them more than enough chances im done. read more
