I ordered the moo goo gai pan which is my usual test of whether I put it on my list or not. The place isnt much on the inside, with a couple of people hanging around talking on their phones. You can't see the kitchen at all. They even draw a little curtain so there's no peeking, which is a turn off. However, the food was good. Lots of mushrooms, but nothing exotic. No baby corn, which may be in the chicken and vegetables. But overall good. The white rice was as expected and there wasn't a lot of oil. read more

We haven't had this place in a long time and now I know why. Fried rice and general tso was ok. The kung pao was not good at all, it was so mushy. The cheese wontons were so fishy tasting. read more

The food was hot and delicious. I called my order in and it was ready in a timely manner. I had shrimp fried rice and sesame chicken. The food was plentiful and cooked well. read more

I've decided all Chinese restaurants taste the same, this one is no different. Located behind Ollie's; this location was not serving dine-in but has tables perhaps pre-Covid. The most memorable point was the goldfish tank in lobby. The food was small Gen Tai chicken & spicy shrimp small for $13.98. Good price for amount but if someone gave me taste test couldn't distinguish between all others. read more

Great food and service every single time. Always a must stop when I visit. If you're looking for great food go there.

Food is not bad. SERVICE horrible. They need someone else to take the orders. The inside is a mess and needs cleaned. How they get any kind of rating is beyond me. Very strange place. read more

I ordered a egg drop soup and a combination meal and everything was hot and very tasty. The prices are very reasonable with great counter service. If you are looking for ambiance this I not it. Just great food and a lot of it whit very reasonable prices. Absolutely I would come back but not twice in the same week. The scale would be talking to me. read more

When I lived in Florence, Golden Dragon was my favorite place for Chinese. I no longer live there, but I was recently in the area and my husband and I decided to pick up some plates of food and remember just how much we loved it. If you like a lot of food for a cheap price, Golden Dragon is the best value in town. Is it the best Chinese food I've ever had? No, but it's as good as you'll get in Florence. The "lunch specials" are applicable all day long, and you can customize them. Normally, they include pork fried rice, 2 wings, and an egg roll. Want a spring roll instead of an egg roll? You got it. Want an extra spring roll instead of 2 wings? You got it. Want plain fried rice instead of pork? That's right, you can do that too. Two people can easily eat for under $20 here and have leftovers on the plate- or you can share a lunch special and possibly have enough food. I really like the shrimp in lobster sauce and the spring rolls, but you just can't go wrong with Golden Dragon. We usually did take out but always had great service inside the restaurant too. read more

Ever since this restaurant changed ownership they have really turned the business around. Without a doubt my go to place. Our family just had their house wonton soup and regular wonton and it was the very best we have ever had. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN FLORENCE! Need I say more? Having grown up in the NJ/NY area, we had great Chinese food....this is exactly like that. From the Chow Mein, Lo Mein, Egg Foo Young, Mongolian Beef, and all the specialty dishes to the Hot and Sour Soup, it's just delicious. The Crab Wontons, seemed dumplings are outstanding. We have eaten in the restaurant and had take out..the quality is the same. The only con I can add is, if you are mobility challenged, it is hard getting in to the restaurant, the stairs are terrible. read more

Yes, very much do recommend Golden Dragon. Will keep going back many times. Yeah they make small mistakes once in awhile. But is still good

We ordered delivery for 9 people and everyone got different stuff and none of it was labeled and a lot of it spilled everywhere on other stuff. The food was poor to mediocre. The moo shu was exceptionally disappointing because it was very soggy with no egg whatsoever. The donuts were great but the crab rangoons were not. The volume of food was huge though. Please label takeout next time. read more

Okay the Boneless Chicken and the fried pork wontons are awesome . But the service is terrible. We didn't get checked on after our food arrived. We even had to call her over and when she got to the table all she said was "boxes?" We actually needed more drinks and rice. And our table didn't cleared until another server cam to get some of our empty dishes out of the way. We literally had them stacked up and rice bowls at the corner of the booth because we had so much dirty dishes on our table. Worst service ever. Tips:boneless chicken and fried pork wontons are great read more

Really interesting pickup system because of Covid19. Don't let this stop you from ordering and doing pick up / take out. I think the Chinese food here is well done for small city. I had the General Tso's chicken lunch combo with house fried rice, a springroll and 2 wings. The large amount of food for a lunch portion will easily make 2+ meals for me. I will be back for more read more

The best Chinese food I've had in years! I grew up on Chinese food, but South Carolina is a black hole for Chinese cuisine. We were traveling through Florence and my wife really wanted some, so we found this place on Yelp. What a tremendous surprise! I was skeptical-despite the good reviews-given my previous experiences with Asian food in SC, but I was hungry. The ambiance is very pleasant and a little old school, not like the crappy places where you walk up to the counter and there are pictures of the dishes. The service was excellent! Very accommodating and very warm. The food was phenomenal and we fed our family with small children for a little over $40 and we probably have 2-3 more meals of leftovers. The chicken low mein, sweet and sour chicken and Sesame chicken were all delicious! Very moist, very well flavored without the MSG you sometimes find at places. The wings and egg rolls were not greasy and the fried rice was not over done. Get the shrimp fried rice. It's worth the upgrade. The wonton soup is a great way to warm up and the hot tea washed down our meals splendidly. Great for families, too! I'll be back! read more

This restaurant was a great find for me. I had almost given up on my weekend routine of getting Chinese takeout. I was about to just give up on good Chinese food in the area and become a taco aficionado, because as we all know, where there's a taco, there's tequila. Something has to take the edge off of the office. I ordered before leaving the office and picked up my order on the way home. I admit that I'm not very complicated when it comes to Chinese food. Just give me a good Cashew Chicken and some wanton soup and I'm happy. That's exactly what this place did. The portions were generous, the food was hot and fresh, and they even threw in extra fortune cookies. The takeout portions made two good meals for me. I also ordered the Teriyaki Chicken as an appetizer. It was equally impressive. If the food is great, then I put a restaurant in rotation. I like being a creature of habit. This restaurant provides me with the perfect comfort food. I have been back at least once every other week since my first visit. I have not tried dining in so I can't say anything about the service. There is always a line at the takeout register, which for me says good things about the repeat business here. One thing I would say is that you definitely want to pick up your order. I tried Delivery Doctor once and the experience was terrible. This was not a reflection on the restaurant. They are completely independent of the delivery service. Writing this review actually made me hungry again. It's time for another takeout order. read more

This hole in the wall was a small blessing in disguise. We were doing a pit stop here on our way back to Raleigh, NC. The building itself was very old, but the food made up for it. They let you order lunch specials all day which is a perk because they are low in price. I got the egg drop soup which was relish and huge! I also got the schezuan shrimp extra spicy and it comes with a Shrimp spring roll and 2 wings and ham fried rice which was different. The portions were huge, I wanted to box it up but we were driving 4 hours home! read more

Golden Dragon Restaurant - Lunch Kung pao shrimp with the Ham fried rice, spring roll and wings and a side of egg drop - Chinese Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

The food quality is a 5. Egg rolls and soup very fresh, the entrees we had were very tasty. My wife is a Lemon Chicken fan, said it was one of the best she had. Light batter and tart lemon. Service was fast and friendly. If your looking for the latest decor, thiss won't be your place, but it was tidy, clean and well spaced to not have to compete with the neighbors conversation. read more

I've been here a few times and also ordered take out from here a few times. I prefer ordering take out because the service can be a little slow sometimes. The staff is exceptionally friendly so I didn't really mind having to wait so much but if you were in a hurry you'd probably want to consider just ordering food to go. The building they're in is fairly old and I wouldn't really recommend using their restrooms unless you have to. They're clean, just very old (the toilet takes a few tries to actually flush). Their menu is ridiculously huge (in a good way unless you're super indecisive). They offer their lunch menu all day which is great because you can get an entree, fried rice, an egg roll and 2 chicken wings all for 6-8 dollars. I generally order their Chicken with Cashew Nuts (amazingly delicious) with white rice and I usually have enough food left over for another meal the next day. They offer healthy menu options too that usually include steamed vegetables and meats. I've had their chicken and broccoli and it was delicious. Their egg rolls are fairly average and their ham fried rice isn't spectacular which is why I order the white rice when I get their lunch combos. I personally really enjoyed their dumplings. There are a lot of things I still want to try from here so I'll be going back, just likely for take out rather than dining in. read more

If you just go here for the food it's average Americanized Chinese food. It's fairly cheap and or reasonable. The quality of the food can be on the greasy side. The wings are always good but small in size. I always get my food to go because the inside of the restaurant is in need of repair. The building has changed hands throughout the years with no construction over halls which are desperately needed. I avoid the bathrooms for the smell and disrepair when I'm onsite. Definitely an eat at your own risk place. read more

First time going here. Wait staff very nice. Food bad. Lemon chicken was breaded and fried like a piece of shoe leather. The owner was rude and unapologetic-- she tried to explain it was the breading--I'm not sure it was even chicken but certainly not something that should not have come out of the kitchen read more

I'll keep this one short & sweet but ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!??!?! For about $7 I got my main entree (picked the General Tso's), two fried chicken wings, a shrimp roll and ham fried rice. Not only that, it was some of the best Americanized Chinese food I've ever eaten!! I ate way too much and only had a few bites left, but couldn't bear to let it go to waste so took a snack home. Service was okay, it was pretty dead inside I guess because it was still pretty early on New Year's Day (around 1pm) so I'm sure most were still recovering haha but I look forward to returning next time I'm in the area. If you're reading this review, considering trying Golden Dragon, do yourself a favor and GO EAT! Yum! read more

Got my order wrong and refused to fix it. I'm allergic to pork which keeps me from eating a lot so I ordered shrimp fried rice and because they were wrong they refused to even fix it. I'll never go here again. Customer service is everything!!!! If you won't fix your mistake that I paid for. read more

Dined in with partner. Waitress had the personality of a cold sore. My beef was overcooked and difficult to chew. We ordered an appetizer of crab Rangoon which was very good but my partners chicken was very average and not much better than my spicy beef. My advice, go to China King and steer clear of the Golden Dragon in Florence. read more

Nice restaurant for Chinese cuisine in town reasonable prices and delicious but the management is kinda disappointing they don't have the ethics of customer service. Thats the only issue other than that this is a wonderful restaurant. read more

Decent restaurant with a wide selection of dishes, mostly good for American families interested in some solid Chinese food. There's four stars because our waitress could have done better service. We asked her what a dish pictured on the menu was and she didn't know. read more

The restaurant was clean enough and had a decent lunch business going at the time I stopped in . I ordered the Kung po chicken and the wait was about 10 to 15 minutes. The order came out and the waiter was friendly . The food was mostly rice and the the vegetables and chicken made up very little of the meal. The flavor was ok but nothing special. Overall the food was underwhelming , I would give this business a C-, food taste and preparation, and a B for cleanliness and the server. read more

Stopped here while passing through the area. I ordered takeout: for me, i got the Mongolian beef special, hubby had the sesame chicken, kids got wings. The service was less than desirable. The lady had a Bluetooth in her ear and did not stop her conversation to greet me other than to ask "last name?" She completed my transaction without offering napkins or sauce. I had to "interrupt" her personal call to ask for those things along with a drink. As for the food, I found it to be just....ok. Nothing tasted great, I've had better other places for less. The one good thing I guess, is that you do get plenty of food with your order. I don't think I'll seek this place out again...not with better tasting and more professional options nearby. read more

Food was good. Lost my appetite when a Hugh cockroach looking bug ran across the wall I was done. Gross. Very nice waitress.

Gruff woman at register. Hours said open until 1030 pm. We came at 10. They refused to seat us and said "take out only." The mens room was filthy. We drove a block and realized they hadn't given us plasticware. Food was mediocre. Do not recommend. read more

Friendly staff, great prices, and satisfying, healthy, vegetarian food.

Love love love the food. Moved here from NJ 4 years ago. Chinese food in SC has been disappointing to say the least. Never went into Golden Dragon because of outside appearance is blah. Finally tried it and the food is the best. We go at least twice a month now. Never judge a book by its cover. read more
