A pretty average place for Chinese in downtown Joliet and it might just be the best around here. Golden Dragon is fairly cheap and it has big portions. It certainly isn't very good but it's still not that bad though. Basic Chinese American menu items. The food is about as good as the price so it's pretty okay for what it's like. It has some basic Americanized Chinese. Pretty much about what you expect. The prices are pretty acceptable for this. Has a few healthier choices among the vegetarian friendly items. There's a few to get that are big portions. Bean Curd With Country Style is the actual name. It's $8.95 for the lunch portion. This has lots of broccoli and not many other vegetables. Flavor is okay. This isn't like others how it could be overly salty. Good for cheap tasting Chinese food. If better is available get it but this isn't as bad as expected upon seeing the cheap looking exterior of the building it's in. The food is fast too. read more

Amazing my kids loved everything Orange chicken, spicy chicken fried rice and crab ragoons were the best read more

So glad to see you opened today. Missed you all. Great food for the money. We tried somewhere different when you were closed and didn't like it. Stay safe and welcome back. Your loyal customers, Gina and bruce read more

The food here is your basic chinese Americanized cuisine. The egg rolls are probably the worst thing I had here. They were terrible and tasted old. I ordered the peoper steak with onions which was reay damn good. The general chicken I had was pretty decent as well. Beef fried rice could have been better. It was extremely oily. They also forgot to put my two drinks in with my order. read more

I moved to Joliet from Chicago, 3 months ago and have experienced a food desert. Seriously, this town sucks for great food alternatives. I've lived in Chicago South Loop, just 3 blocks from Chinatown and was CERTAIN I would never get good Chinese food in Joliet. Boy was I wrong! It wasn't good, it was awesome! I had the orange chicken, beef and vegetables, and the Peking duck. Every dish was extremely flavorful and prepared to perfection. Even the steamed rice is real jasmine: like what is served in Chicago's Chinatown. I'm happy!!! read more

A hidden gem. But one I'm glad is close to home! Their food is much better than I expected it to be and the prices are great for what you order! Their pot stickers are huge and delicious! Also my favorite from anywhere! read more

Food is good. I order from here very often and unlike other people in the reviews I haven't had a bad experience and I've been ordering from here about 1-3 times a month for the past I don't even know how many years. Reasonably priced as well read more

This restaurant has the worst customer service. The woman at the front who takes the orders was extremely rude to me several times and has a horrible disposition. I will not be giving them anymore of my business. I'll take me money elsewhere to another place who knows how to treat their customers. read more

Do NOT order here ever! This is NOT GOLDEN DRAGON! that you expect!!! Just a cheap Chinese place that is infringing on the Golden Dragon Name to give you bad service and shit as a side order! I placed a $40 dollar delivery order and was missing 2 extra scallops and 3 extra jumbo shrimps from my soup, I specifically ordered 5 extra jumbo shrimp and five extra scallops at a dollar a piece extra that were charged on the order at a $10 upgrade. Also. I requested extra dipping sauce for the steamed dumplings times two. When the order arrived I was missing four dollars in extra shrimps and scallops and the dipping sauce for the dumplings was not there at all. I decided to give the place a chance and not say anything that night since I had guests to entertain. I just poured regular soy sauce on the dumplings and forgot the missing jumbo shrimp and scallops that I paid for that night. The next day I called this place up only to explain their mistakes from the night before just to let them know what happened with the delivery. I got put on hold twice, and after waiting to speak to them, I got a really rude woman who yelled at me over the phone, and screamed that everything was placed in my order and delivered fine. After a 10 minute one way hostile conversation with her, I finally gave up and told her; This is not how you run a business, only to be told screw you and to get hung up on. Sad, Will never again eat here or even try to call up and talk to these people. CONSUMERS, STAY AWAY! NASTY PEOPLE, NASTY FOOD, NASTY SERVICE, Go somewhere else and save your time and money. read more

Five years ago this place was pretty good, but it has really gone downhill. We ordered a pupu platter and what wasn't burnt or over cooked was equally unpleasant - instead of two chicken wings, we got one, broken in half, the shrimp toast was black, and the battered shrimp was lost inside a heavy winter blanket of gummy dough. I've kept trying them, hoping each time that it was a bad cook or off night, but, no. read more

Best Chinese in Town! I've ordered practically everything on this menu and it is all perfection:)

Disgusting is an understatement! I ordered the shrimp with lobster sauce and I have no words! Gross!!! Even the fried rice was disgusting. I normally don't leave reviews but I had to warn people of the disgusting shrimp with lobster sauce. read more

Disappointed to say the very least!!! I've gotten food from them in the past and this was just not up to par. Our work lunch was delivered very quick, but ... L1 it appeared that iceberg lettuce had been boiled with only onions, 5 straws of carrots & ?able meat substance. Pork? fried rice was favorless. L22 -- lots of veggies, but little sauce. Dish was requested without MSG ... I now have a headache so I'm certain it was there! H18 Was extremely heavy on onions and contained very small portion of beef and white rice was gummy. L10 was very light on veggies. Egg rolls contained lots of "dehydrated bacon bits" and the fortune cookies were STALE!!! Don't think we'll do this again!! read more

Great food, fast service, this is my go to spot when i need my chinese fix. The combination deals are the best. Good size portions, can get about 3 meals out of combo portion size. Personal favorite is the Kung Pao Chicken. read more

Food is reasonably priced and good. The lady who takes phone in orders can't speak english tho lol ..but she always gets my order right....eventually lol read more

I REALLY dont like chinese food but this was delicious. I would absolutely eat here again. The woman on the phone sounds like she has an attitude but it's only becasue of the slight language barrier. In person they are very nice. The food was honestly amazing. My wife and I got the garlic chicken combo and the mongolian beef combo and wolfed them down. The only other place that could even possibly compete is China kitchen, but for $14.00 on a full size mongolian beef, full size garlic chicken with chicken fried rice and two eggrolls there is no competition. Try this place and you'll be a continuing customer guaranteed!! read more

Carryout or delivery only here. I wish they had a few more beef options for the lunch specials but the price is right ($4.60 with soup or eggroll) so I deal with it. Tried the man's curry chicken last week and it was fantastic. Huge regular menu with plenty of yummy options. The Mongolian beef (my fave Chinese dish) is fabulous. I hate chewy beef and happily theirs is nice and tender. Haven't gone wrong with anything here yet and it's as good or better than the Chinese places I used to frequent in Chicago. read more

Tried placing an order for delivery and I was told they don't deliver in my area. Then I was told I can go pick it up. I mentioned I had previously order from another place around their location which I had no problem with delivery then I was told "Then you can order from them" with an attitude. Bad customer service read more

Placed our delivery order at 5:36pm. It's 7:12 pm and still no food even though we called 3 times. Ridiculous. At this point, I don't care what the food tastes like. NEVER AGAIN read more

Great Chinese food at incredibly low prices. Ample portions, authentic taste and greasy in a good way. Pick it up, take it home, fill your belly happily. read more

This is coming from a local that has eaten at this place about three times. Ordering a different item everytime. I gave the place one to many chances. The last time I thought I was going to get food poisoning. The employees are nasty as fuck, the chicken last time was really questionable. I mean I can go on about this place all day. One time the food was alright, but its a risky place to eat at for sure. The best place I have found is the China House off of Theodore st. Where you'll get good Chinese just about everytime you go. read more

I wish I could give this plave zero stars. Ordered the lemon chicken, it made me sick. My fiance got egg rolls and it had a chunk of something that should not have been in there. read more

I gave this location four stars, it may not be a dine in location but I guarantee it has great food, ordered a shrimp fried rice which was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. I also had their sesame chicken and beef curry which were both mouth watering goodness! It has great prices and it stands as very good competition for the other local Asian restaurants. read more

Good place located on the edge of a strip mall. The staff is very kind and helpful. Golden dragon is definitely the route to go when ordering Chinese food. Plus they have plenty of choices on the menu. read more

Love the ham fried rice and orange chicken!! This is the only Chinese restaurant in Joliet I'll eat at!

although the people are really nice, I will not go back to the establishment again. After putting in my order, I noticed one of the cooks coming in from outside. Just before he walked into the door he picked to nose. and without washing his hands he proceeded to go and cook. I was very disappointed by that and that was the determining factor of me not going back to the establishment ever again. Their level of cleanliness, is definitely not where it should be read more

Food is delicious. Prices are reasonable. Great place for quick Chinese takeout. I recommend that you come in and order personally since ordering through the phone is a bit difficult. They sometimes don't answer or it is hard for them to understand you or you understand them. read more

The one star, I guess you could say is because it was so cheap. I tried this place after not being too wowed with anything closer. I should have stuck to the old places. It was one of the worst Chinese restaurants I have ever ordered from. I got the dinner special which comes with pork fried rice and a rather large egg roll. The chicken was really greasy, very bland. The sweet and sour sauce was a bit sweet but had no other flavor at all. The fried rice was really dark for whatever reason. It had what looked like frozen vegetables (cubed pieces of carrot and old shriveled peas) in it. The meal looked like something straight out of a school cafeteria or frozen dinner. The egg roll size was impressive and it almost looked tasty.... Then I bit into it. It was no better than a frozen one from the grocery store, filled with God only knows what. It had an unrecognizable bright red meat of some sort inside. The color was really unappetizing. I guess I'm used to chicken or shrimp in my egg rolls. I don't understand why it is so hard to find a decent Chinese restaurant in the area. It's a shame the 3 closest places to me can't do better than the local supermarket's freezer section. read more

In town on business from Wisconsin, I love Chinese food, eat it at least once a week & I know ALL the good Chinese restaurants in a 30 mile radius from Milwaukee, had a craving for Chinese, and I found this place on the web, the food was Great! Great prices! & large generous portions! (Need more like this back home) Will definitely go back here next time I'm in Joliet! read more
