So the food has gone down hill and the prices are beyond jacked! We got 2 menu items and it was close to $40 ( last time we got these same items less than 8 months ago the price was $24-$26 so I have no idea what happened.) I didn't get a receipt nor was I told the items went up in price. I have no idea what happened. when I was online the prices were $11.50 and $14. I'm beyond butt hurt about it because we used to be able to afford it but now with whatever increase happened there's just no way, and it's one of my son's favorite places. It's just not practical anymore. I wouldn't be able to comment on the service other than we got in and out quickly this time because it was a to go order, and because it was sooo slow. As for ambiance, it is less than satisfactory it seems too run down and sad these days. read more

There are a few Chinese restaurants in town, but as far as I'm concerned, they can pack it in. No one can touch Golden Fountain when it comes to American Chinese. read more

We were passing thru town for one night and wanted some Chinese food. We found this place on line and decided to give it a try. Glad we did. The food was very good, portions were large and the prices were reasonable. Would defiantly recommend. read more

We aren't going back. The food was cold and not very good. I just wish we had a good Chinese food option in this town.

We ordered takeout and it was really good! Great General Tso chicken, lemon chicken, eggrolls and the broccoli beef with cooked perfectly -bright, vibrantly green broccoli and tender steak. We had plenty for two people and leftovers for lunch the next day. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going here for over a decade... maybe even 2 decades..? As long as I have been going, it's been the same family running it. They're so kind and their food is great. By far the most consistent Chinese cuisine in town for food and customer service. I always go for the "choose your own adventure plate," that's not what they call it, but you get the idea. Last night I had spring rolls, pork fried rice, BBQ pork, and sweet & sour chicken. All of it was perfect and made in an appropriate time. I also like their hot mustard more than the other places in town. read more

Golden Fountain is easily the best Chinese place in town, probably my favorite Chinese place ever. The best deal is pick 4 items and that comes w choice of soup. Always hot, wonderful tasting food :) read more

Delicious food! Anything you order is well worth it, glad they're back open for inside dinning as well. Recommend if you're in town. I ordered the lo main the last time I went which was different than what is usually order. Very pleased with my dinner! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a grade schooler... I'm now 30! The food hasn't changed a bit even with different people working however I think the biggest issue I had was wait staff! Menu is somewhat confusing. If you order a certain tray and you say "shrimp" it's already in the box of items to choose from BUT they charge you an extra dollar for picking that item... NOT 100% sure why I'm getting charged for an item that's already in the list of items I can choose from! read more

Great food just don't expect when you order food to go that it will be ready when you get there. Also even if it is ready be ready to wait while it sits in the back getting cold. read more

I was a little hesitant at first the restaurant seems a little run-down. But then I ordered their house lo mein with shrimp and it was amazing. The barbecue pork it was just roasted pork with plum sauce. But we'll go back to try other things read more

Golden Fountain - Chinese Near Me - Pendleton, Oregon

We got the orange chicken, pork fried rice, egg flower soup, and pork egg rolls. The chicken was dry tough and gritty, the rice was dry and bland. The soup would have been fine if it weren't for what I think were finely chopped water chestnuts which felt more like chewing on pebbles and the egg rolls had almost no meat and were soggy. This was our first time trying this place and it will most definitely be our last. Just stick with kwongs. read more

For the price this is a pretty good place to chow down on some good Chinese food. However I have noticed that depending on the day and time of the day the food is either good, or not so good. If you get in there when they are not to busy the food is really good. If your going in while they are busy then your taking a gamble. Best bet, is to go on there non busy hours. read more

Golden Fountain - Inside - Chinese Near Me - Pendleton, Oregon

The food was great with the portions and taste. I also appreciate how the waitresses were kind and attentive. The prices are amazing here. You can easily find a plentiful dish under $10. I highly recommend the Golden Fountain fried rice. The hot and sour soup was tasty! read more

Was pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant. The waitress was really nice, attentive, and fair. The food portions were great and really reasonable prices. This is the only restaurant we stopped in while driving through Pendleton, and we would actually stop in the town on a future trip. read more

Best food in town excellent service. High quality food and delicious hot tea. Great customer service very friendly and welcoming. I will came visit again soon in the near future. Thank You read more

The portions a big but the quality was lacking. We ordered the appetizer plate, didn't taste and crab in the crab puffs and the spring roll was huge and not too appetizing. The meals were big and there's no kids menu. Flavors are kind of bland. The price is decent. The restroom was not available to use. The rest of the building seems kind of run down too. The service was good though. read more

They charge me for chicken white rice and chow mein only got chow mein and could not get the rest of my order food is usually good though

I've been a loyal patron of Golden Fountain for 34 years. 3 weeks ago I was hired there as a server and instantly overwhelmed with the work load. I'm the only server for half my shifts, and have no others who share the load of what's usually 10 tables. Working there was so grueling and Qi Ruan (owner) telling me to be faster even though I was already taking more than my prescribed dosage for Adderall just to keep up. This business offers no legal breaks. Twice I worked 5.5 hours without so much as one 15 minute break. Servers (and back kitchen and dishwashers) never received proper breaks. After 3 weeks of such mistreatment I approached the owner Qi Ruan about my need for a 15 minute break every 4 hours, according to Oregon Law "The law requires workers to take all required breaks in the middle of each four hour (or major part thereof) work segment." I politely and privately explained how hard I was working and that I was dehydrated and holding in my pee, drinking insufficient water, sweat dripping into my eyes and speed walking everywhere in the restaurant just to keep up. She told me "Nobody else complains" to which I replied "That is because everyone working here is your family" (this is a family owned business that uses underage children to provide the majority of back-of-house duties other than cooking. Two underage children work there as young as 11 years old). She told me I was only allowed to take a break if there were no customers present in the restaurant (which never happens) or at the end of my shift when all my duties were completed. She told me "You only work 4 hours" and after explicitly asking her "Do you have any intention of following the law?" Qi Ruan stayed silent and turned her head away from me. Four times I stated "I need a break in the middle of my shift to sit down and urinate and drink water" and each time she would reply "four hours is not that long." This business exploits its workers and uses child labor. I will never dine there again. read more

Ordered chicken chow mein, and Mongolian beef. Got a box full of bean sprouts, and a box full of onions with five pieces of beef. Paid 35 dollars for it too. I highly suggest a pizza, or anything else really. Consider your options before picking this place. Also heads up the pork fried rice doesn't include vegetables, or pork. Just rice cooked in soy sauce. You could buy white rice, and accomplish the same dish at home; while saving 11 dollars. read more

Our favorite Chinese restaurant by far. The food is always good and the service is top notch. I highly recommend it.

Came here starving and craving Chinese food. Definitely worth the price! I ordered the spicy sesame chicken! You have to order it hot though!! WoW definitely coming back again. read more

Food was good, portions were generous, and food was ready quickly.

Absolutely great. Great service, nice people. We were just traveling threw and glad we stopped. It's off the highway on Main Street but worth driving a minute to get to read more

If you want good only slightly Amercanized Chinese food try this place out. I've eaten here several times. The portions are generous, prices are good, food is tasty, and service is great. I have heard that they aren't as friendly with takeout customers but I haven't experienced this. read more

Good food however very slow service... if ordering call way a head otherwise you are sitting waiting for 30 minutes or more

We used to always go here for chinese since we moved to Pendleton. Before they closed their food quality and service had been getting poorer and poorer. Now after they're reopened, it's gotten worse. We ordered food to go and they not only messed it up badly but when we went back to them to fix it they said if we brought all of the food back untouched, they would think about it. I'm not gonna return 45$ of food for you to think about fixing it or think about giving me my money back. No. We will never go here again. read more

I went here yesterday after being told it was the best Chinese food in town by a coworker. The food was alright however the service was terrible. We ordered to go for three people and waited almost an hour. In the meantime the servers completely ignored us waiting there. In addition to that, they wouldn't allow a substitution for chicken fried rice instead of pork fried rice...which I found pretty ridiculous. When we finally got home to eat, the chow mein looked disgusting. I wasn't even willing to try it. The sweet and sour sauce was standard. None of the food was anything to write home about. I'm not sure we'll ever go back. We were all very irked that we had to wait so long for mediocre food. read more

We have eaten here 25x. Food is good, portions are generous. Staff is friendly, service for sit-down customers is usually very good. Take-out orders usually take considerably longer than what you are quoted over the phone (ie: it'll be ready in 20 minutes, it usually takes at least 30). Pricing is reasonable, and it's a good value. Nothing fancy, but we think the best place in town for Chinese Food. read more

Tonight I happened upon, once again, one of the worst restaurants (Chinese or otherwise) in Pendleton. Why this sorry state of dining occurs constantly in Pendleton restaurants is beyond my comprehension. Whether it's laziness on the owners'/managers'/staffs' part, or just plain incompetence, nothing ever seems to improve, even after they receive really bad reviews on social media. First, at Golden Fountain you cannot substitute lo mein noodles for rice. You can, however substitute overcooked pan-fried noodles (which we got with our order) for rice. My wife ordered the sweet and sour chicken and told me it was overly sweet. I'll take her word for it. I got the "hot" Mongolian beef and it was anything but spicy hot. But this worst thing was not the food but the really bad service. What should have been a 20-minute order turned into a 35-minute order. And I ordered take-out IN the restaurant! Others who ordered over the phone at around the same time I did were complaining about the wait as well. Low and behold, one of the servers came out with a big tray of orders. Rather than giving me mine when it was (apparently) ready 15 minutes earlier, she held all of the to-go orders to distribute all at once! Unbelievable. I, for one, will never go back to Golden Fountain. They proved with their mediocre food and extremely poor service that they do not deserve my patronage. read more

if excellent chinese food is what you crave at damn good prices, look no further. located on main street a block away from the movie theater and other attractions such as the underground tours and the heritage museum. the friendly atmosphere will draw you in while the smells of delicous chinese food is being prepared will make you come back for more. prices are fair, $8.75 for my personal favorite, the number 10, giving you pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, bbq pork, and shrimp. $16.50 can feed a family of 4 dinner and then leftovers when you call in your order to go. if your wondering if it's a good place to bring friends and family, even little ones the answer is yes. the employment is friendly and the joint has a certain calming effect. if you don't trust me then i supose you will have to check it out for yourselfs. i leave this review with one last thing to say, live long Golden Fountain!!!! read more
