Food was good, servers were attentive. A classic and consistent over several many visits.

This review would have been five stars 15 years ago....this place has definitely changed and it is very disappointing....we used to dine here once a week now it's like maybe once every three months....they used to make their own egg rolls which were absolutely amazing now they are premade ....they have changed recipes of some dishes and it is very noticeable and the same owner is there but I think she has had a significant staff change which is resulting in sub par food the food seems to be moving away from the authentic Chinese flavors they used to have...this very reason is why I stopped pointing people in the direction of this restaurant....RIP to the golden fountain I used to know and love read more

Visiting from Arizona and let me just start with the fact that the customer service was amazing. My wife ordered the chicken chow mein and she loved it. I got the orange chicken and it was so crunchy and good level of spice. We shared the spring rolls and they were amazing. The decor of the restaurant was very nice and a great ambiance all around as well! read more

Typical small-town Chin-Amer fare, not memorable, but not bad either. Very generous with fresh vegs, and decent use of spices--that can be absent in these farming communities. It seemed to be run by an Hispanic family, which is not unusual if you are familiar with Othello, WA. As stated by the late Anthony Bourdain, Mex chefs are the most versatile on the planet, and can duplicate any type of cuisine. Wifey wanted Asian, and this is the only game in town for that. Made her happy, and I was fine with it all. Never did find a fountain of gold, though... ;) read more

Good Food @ Golden Fountain in Othello, WA. ! First time patrons on a Tuesday for an early dinner. Awkward start, standing at the small entrance area with others until servers appeared to guide us to a nearby booth. Booths were comfortable enough. Minimal wait time to order. Spring rolls were not my 'cup of tea', but 5 of 6 were eaten between the both of us. The two entrees we ordered to share were tasty and we would enjoy them again. The stand outs of our meal included lots of fresh veggies in the King Pao Chicken and tender thin sliced pork in the Pork Chow Mein, the noodles were cooked perfectly. Service was not as great as our dinner. We felt forgotten after the food was served and had to wait longer than we wanted when we were ready to pay and leave. Overall, we would dine here again and see how it goes or just pick up to go orders, as the food was pretty good. Bathroom was clean and had all necessary toiletries. read more

Was not that impressed with the food not what it use to be, the noodles did not taste very good. Small and very dry, the chicken was packed into one container that couldn't be closed up and I could make better fried rice than what was served. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I've never been more ashamed of customer service in my life ( and I've worked customer service. ) My family & I came here for a late lunch early dinner we were greeted in a friendly manner and seated quickly. We all agreed on the family meal #A. & the orange chicken we were informed about the spice levels and ordered mild. We received 2 of the egg drop which we had no issue with since only 2 people wanted. I took one bite of the soup and a few minutes later had a reaction ( no gallbladder) which I had to run to the ladies room. Once I was back at the table the food had arrived to which I noticed the orange chicken was red not orange which I knew wouldn't be what I would consider mild. My aunt proceeded to inform the waitress that Noone (other that our teenager which didn'tlike it ) of at the table could eat the orange chicken due to the spice level. The waitress told us that this was the wild orange chicken & that once we had a bite of the food we couldn't exchange it for anything else. She even called her supervisor over which told us its what the chef made and didn't even offer to resolve the issue. Im very disappointed that we had to pay for an item we couldn't eat. Upon letting another waitress informed us that there was a no spice option which we were not given at the time of ordering read more

Chicken with hot garlic sauce is my favorite! My son loves the orange chicken. They let you pick the spice level too!

The food was pretty good, kind of on the expensive side, but the portion sizes are pretty big. Except there was shrimp mixed in with my boyfriend's pork, and he's very allergic to shellfish, thankfully he did not have a reaction. The service was not anything special. But the place itself.... OMG WHAT A DUMP. I honestly would've had a better experience if I didn't look around the place or go to the restroom. read more

Moved here missing Chinese food, I ordered the veggie deluxe and beef chow mein. It was good and the portions are the greatest. read more

Golden Fountain - Beef chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Othello, Washington

The food here is delicious! Almost everything I try I end up loving! My favorite is the golden fountain chow mein noodles, egg rolls, fried rice, almond chicken and crab puffs. Prices are a little high compared to pre-Covid. I would order about 5-6 items for the whole family (4 people) it was like $45 now it's well over $65-80. read more

Where to start: first of all, if you're looking for Chinese food that's so authentic that you can't even read the menu unless you know Mandarin, that's not this place. However - If you like "Chinese-American" fusion, this is a wonderful nosh spot in Othello, WA. First of all, it's pretty economical - the lunch specials range from about 5 and a half to somewhere in the 7 dollar range... and you get a LOT of food. Seriously, do yourself a favor, and just ask for a to-go box right up front, and then when you get your overflowing platter, just load half of it into the box straight up. Once that's done, you'll be left with (in my wife's case) a platter that's still full of crispy sweet-and-sour chicken, where the chicken pieces audibly crunch from across the table, and the red sauce is pretty standard. My mother-in-law had the almond chicken special, and the almond sauce was a rich deep brown. I've had it before; a good flavor and a very generous portion. I had the curry beef lunch special; (a picture is here at http://imgur.com/daEO3.jpg) it was $6.95 if I remember correctly. I asked for it to be very hot; when it came, it was exactly that: piping hot. It had obviously come *right* out of the wok, and it was very hot. NOT spicy, mind you - that's what I had been hoping for - but hot. The beef was very tender, the curry sauce quite mild... but the waitress brought me some chili sauce on the side to kick it up a few notches. I've taken one of my kids here on a previous occasion, and it was a hit with the younger set as well. Dinner service was a bit slow on the evening I went, but lunch service was very fast, with our soup getting to the table within 2 minutes of placing our order. If you like Chinese-American, and you're in Othello, give these guys a try. read more

The food is as good as bad is the service. Definitely the price is very affordable. But the plate has broken edges. The waitress was in a hurry that she spilled some hot sauce on my wife pants. She did not speak good English so it was hard to discuss the menu with her. So I had to google the menu items. I will come definitely here again, my wife probably will not. After all everybody likes cheap and delicious food. read more

Everybody leaves such good reviews, yet when I come by this place on a Wednesday @ 5:50pm it is closed. Lame!!

We called ahead of time asking if we needed reservations because we had a large party for dinner and we're coming from 40 minutes away. We arrived were seated rather rudely Menus were on the table and when we opened them everything was crossed out. They had no combination plates available only family style with a minimum of 4 orders. Needless to say we got up and left. Restaurant was dirty. Very disappointed as they came recommended. read more

Absolutely the best Chinese food around, highly recommend Orange Chicken, Vegetable Lo Mein, and Egg Foo Yung. Service is nice and doenst take long to get food, I will always continue to go back here again and again. read more

Boy, did this place exceed my expectations! I was surprised to find it's almost identical to my fav. Chinese place in Kennewick. I mean, IDENTICAL, right down to the to-go menus (even use same color paper and ship design on the front). Since I live in the Tri Cities and work in Othello, this is good news for me. Love the sweet and sour chicken, lemon chicken, pork fried rice, spring rolls, BBQ pork, etc. It's all good. And the portion sizes are huge. So, for $9, you can have two big meals. Service was good also. Not a long wait for food. read more

Fabulous service, outstanding food and worth the drive if you don't live in Othello. We've been here for lunch three times and our picky taste-buds left happy each time. Five Stars: The sheer amount of food. For a $25 bill, we got 6-meals out of dining here with our leftovers! The service. The waitress brought us boxes for our leftovers without even being asked and then made sure we had sauces to go too! Golden Fountain Chow Mein (Pan-Fried Noodle) 7.25 General Tso's Chicken combo 6.75 Orange Chicken and Shrimp Special Mandarin Beef combo 6.75 Appetizer Plate 7.95 Crab Puffs Pork Egg Roll BBQ Pork Three Stars: Chicken Subgum Chow Mein (meh) Spring Rolls (just average...not enough filling) Fried Shrimp (small shrimp and a tad bit overcooked) Two Stars: Mar Far Chicken (no Mar Far sauce...a must in my book) You won't be disappointed. Trust me on this: the leftovers taste even better! read more

We were craving Chinese food and have been to the golden fountain a few times. The takeout setup is nice and our food was ready when we arrived to pick it up. The food was hot and really good. Beats cooking for our selves at home like we have been for too many months. Try the Golden Fountain for some good Chinese food. read more

Wow, what a great find in little Othello! Amazingly good food and lots of it, plus it's cheap- $8 for a combo plate that'll feed you for three meals! No joke! Service was a bit slow, and the actual building is super sketch-a-rific, but the food was great so that didn't really matter to me. It made for a more relaxed atmosphere for my large family. read more

This place has been hit/miss. Sometimes the food is fresh and so good, but other times - you can tell it's been sitting all day long. The hot and sour soup is normally good, but the last time I ate it, I got very sick. They need to work on fresher food, but otherwise the pricing/portions are good. read more

Well, there's sure IS better Chinese food in the Tri Cities! Our soup was delicious, but alas like warm, as were the greasy noodles we were served later. We specifically asked about one of the meal menu options, since we have small appetites and are traveling. I said "so if we order one of these meals that will service two people or more". She said it would. When we got our bill we paid for TWO of those meals, an untouched dish of rice, 1/2 a dish of noodles stayed behind. We did take 3/4 of the sweet & sour mystery meat and a few pieces of bbq pork. That food will likely be fed to the dogs. To pay twice as much for food we did not want and tried not to order is disappointing. The food over all was good. We've had as good or better other places, and only bought and paid for the quantity we wanted. Doubt if we will be back. read more

Typical Chinese/American food. A little greasy, but fits the bill for eating out or takeout. If I gave stars based on the relativity of Chinese food in Othello it would get a 4 -star. But I'm going to try and judge it based on a my relative experience. I recommend this restaurant, if I'm driving home and picking up dinner, this is the place. They definitely live my the motto, "More is better." The quality is where I need it, but not life-changing. The quantity is above average for sure, and that is nice - good value. If you are hungry for soup - order the War-wonton soup, it's a man-killer. I'm not sure what's going on with their deep fryer, but everything that is deep fried is very greasy and doesn't sit in the stomach well. In conclusion, I'm grateful that it in Othello, not too many creative options there. read more

Really good food for the price!! Golden fountain lomein is what I always get here. Get your food in good time too. read more

Golden Fountain - Golden fountain lomein - Chinese Near Me - Othello, Washington

It is cheap, that's for sure. I think this business believes in quantity over quality. The sauce for my sweet and sour chicken has so much red dye 5, it looks like jello, it is just jiggly as well. My expectations were not too high, but maybe skip this place. read more

Golden Fountain - Pork "chow mein", sweet and sour chicken, pork fried rice and "egg rolls" on my plate. Got the #5 - Chinese Near Me - Othello, Washington

I'm going to start with I haven't found a good Chinese restaurant in a very long time, but this place is delicious!!!!! They have great food with large portions! The house fried rice is super delicious, as is the house yakisoba. Don't miss the sizzling anything. The chicken, beef, pork you can't go wrong with this dish. I haven't tried the breaded foods because they aren't gluten free, but my family liked the sweet sour pork. Their egg flower soup and hot n sour soup are pretty darn good too. This place has great food, large portions, and not too expensive! read more

First time I have ever been. Drove 45 min to try it out. Got a fly in my soup. Not worth trying in my opinion, they didn't even seem surprised, and offered me a new soup but I'm not going to let them get me twice in a row Til: They got me read more

You wouldn't expext to find spectacular Chinese food in a small town like Othello but this place is awesome. We Order the family style combo C for $13.00 per person. You will leave with at LEAST 4 boxes of leftovers. Food tastes great and theres enough to feed a horse. We come here whenever we are in Othello. Lunch menu doesn't have anything over $8.00. I challenge you to find better Chinese food any any of the surrounding larger cities like tri cities or Moses Lake or Spokane, you won't I guarantee it. read more

Not the best Chinese food. The service was good but the food tasted like it had been fried in oil that was really old. The sweet and sour chicken was almost inedible. The ham fried rice tasted old. Unless your starving go to the tri cities for better Chinese. read more

I have eaten here many time, and had good food every time. It is the only Chinese Restaurant the has authentic Hong Kong style Chow Mein. The serving sizes are too much and taste are great. One flaw is it is not a fast food restaurant. read more

Food is great and enough for tomorrow's lunch lol. Is anybody else intimidated by the lady up front (I think she's the owner). Ever time it talk to her I get nervous. Lol. Order the happy family and large egg flower soup! read more

This place reminds me of Chinese take out with my grabdparents. Nothing fancy or earth shattering, but hot and delicious. If my boyfriend left me tragically, this is where I would come eat my bad feelings. "Foodies" would scorn this, place. I scorn them for calling themselves foodies. read more

For a small town the food here is pretty good. The atmosphere is casual and if you want to get full for a good price this is your spot.

Yummmm!!!! Great food, cheap prices !! Lunch for 2 for $17 and a bucket full of leftovers!! read more

Never hav I ever been to a Chinese restaurant with absolutely no tofu on the menu. Then I hear her talking crap about my wanting tofu to the cook. Oh and it was $4 extra to add tofu to a vegetable plate. WOW I can buy a block of tofu for less than $2.... this was a adventure in eating at a small town restaurant. read more

Absolutely horrendous. From the hot and sour soup, to the bbq pork, it was really bad. I definitely didn't finish my meal and obviously got sick later. Never returning. My friend got sick as well read more

I live in othello and have been here plenty of times. The food is no joke. The portions are large and at an affordable price. My only problem is the service is slow and I always have a problem ordering on the phone because the lady has a heavy Asian accent. I would recommend this place for families and large groups. read more

Delicious and large portions. Low prices=great value. Service can be slow and inaccurate, but we keep going back for the food.

Order take out instead of eating inside. The food is great but very low maintenance and unorganized with their service.

Not good. I'm not one to complain ever. I got the food home, and the orange chicken was so red and bland. It didn't taste like orange at all. Medium spicy isn't spicy at all. I tried to call to get a refund, wouldn't help me out with that. Even told them none of the $43 (which is expensive for 2 people) worth of food we got was good aside from the rice. My dog was hesitant to eat some bland noodles. The rice was good, but its white rice. I asked for noodles, and I got noodles. Plain noodles, no sauce or seasoning, in water in a container. I've had a lot of Chinese food in probably 10 different states. This is the only one that wasn't good. Maybe if you don't order the wonton soup (it had 3 wontons in it and was a large) then maybe you'll like it. I don't know. read more
