I genuinely don't understand how a restaurant can operate like this and still have the audacity to answer the phone. Not only did they send the completely wrong order -- like, not-even-close wrong -- but when I called to calmly explain the mistake, I was met with pure hostility. The person on the phone was rude from the first sentence. No apology. No accountability. Just attitude. I was talked over, dismissed, and made to feel like I had committed a crime by expecting the food I actually paid for. But wait -- it gets worse. They also flat-out lied about how far away we were to justify charging a higher delivery fee. I know exactly how far my own address is. We are not in another dimension. Yet somehow, according to them, we were apparently located at the edge of civilization. The distance magically "increased" when it came time to calculate the delivery cost. Convenient. And then they charged an absolutely insane rate for the delivery fee. Not slightly high. Not mildly overpriced. Unhinged. The kind of number that makes you check your receipt three times to make sure it isn't a typo. For what? To deliver the wrong food and then be rude about it? So to recap: * Sent the wrong order. * Rude and dismissive on the phone. * Lied about distance to inflate the delivery fee. * Charged an outrageous delivery rate. * Offered zero solution. If chaos had a customer service department, this would be it. I have never experienced such a combination of incompetence and attitude in my life. Truly diabolical. Not even normal. read more

Crab Rangoon and Wonton soup were good. Pork lomein was tasty but I don't care for the pork fried rice... where's the pork? I would have given a higher rating but they are more expensive than other ones nearby read more

I am so thrilled to have come across this place! I've lived in the area for about a year and have struggled with finding my "go-to" Chinese spot (+ delivery). I decided to order from here tonight via online and was beyond impressed!! Everything was so fresh and amazing. Bonus points for having a "white meat" option when ordering the General Tsos Chicken (I'm very picky about my chicken). My new go to!! read more

Our 1st time visiting and Golden Kitchen did not disappoint! Our food came out fast, fresh and hot! The house lo mein was meaty and delicious! I wish it would have had more onions but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed! My son had the chicken wings and shrimp fried rice which he says was good but not enough shrimp in the rice. He said he only counted 7. My nephew had the sesame chicken and he enjoyed. I tasted both of their chicken and I found them to be pretty good as well. The place was clean and the service was very good! I recommend giving them a try and I plan to visit again when I'm in town! read more

Great food served with excellent service!! Very friendly and lovely staff!! We had the General Tsao's chicken and beef Lo Mein, both were delicious!! read more

The food Needs more flavoring. Broccoli was overcooked on the chicken w broccoli I ordered.

I think the good reviews has generated a LOT more business because when we dropped in on a Friday they were hopping! Lots of food delivery drivers in/out too. A few tables in the dining room, nothing fancy. We were the only ones staying to eat, they do a big takeout business. The front person was very nice, but overwhelmed. Our food came out separately but worked for sharing. Our order: Fried dumplings, a good value! There were several, large dumplings for $7+ and they were delicious. Chicken Lo Mein, also excellent. But the best was Happy Family, hands down the best I can remember! Overall, no frills but really food! read more

Delicious ! As a local we've tried a dozen Chinese places in the area and none even come close. We've ordered every Sat for 4 wks in a row now l, maybe a little obsessed lol Chen is very friendly when taking your order and so polite when you pick up your order. The food taste great. Egg rolls, wontons really anything fried is super crispy and NOT greasy at all even traveling the 10-15min home. Moo shu pork is excellent the only negative is they use tortillas not the traditional pancakes but a lot of other Chinese places here do that. Still very good tho. And I'm a sucker for wonton soup and it's great not doughy like some places. Definitely give them a try you will not be disappointed. read more

Golden Kitchen - four different types of food - Chinese Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Three of us had lunch there in early January 2023. My chicken was breaded and covered in a sauce similar to that of my two companions. My chicken consisted of part white meat and part dark meat heavily rolled in batter and overcooked (often done to mask otherwise uneatable chicken parts). My companions' meals were,at best) acceptable. We will continue to search for a quality oriental restaurant near us. read more

Just can't say I liked anything. Teriyaki chicken skewers tasted more like chicken jerky. The general Taos was more sweet and sour sauce. Extremely underwhelming. read more

The sesame chicken was not good, lots of dark meat, chewy meat, hard crusty breading. The egg roll was mushy, the chips not so bad. Also, it took 15 minutes after the food was due for the credit card transaction to go through. So total time from order to getting my food was 45-50 minutes. read more

My girlfriend's family got take out from here while we were visiting and I gotta say that it was pretty tasty. I had the General Tsos Chicken. The chicken was flavorful and tasted fresh. read more

Tried to call and order food. Barely speak English. Doesn't even know their menu. Then went to try to order and it was the same thing! So I will never be back. Wish the old owners were still there.. read more

Disappointing compared to the 4.5 stars. Our seafood, vegetable special was too salty to complete. The service was good and prompt. Eating in was like grade school with light plastic utensils, served in takeout containers on old tables. Mostly takeout business. read more

I looked on Yelp for the top ten Chinese restaurants and picked this one for takeout. I was so tired of other restaurants passing off big stalks of celery and big carrots as 'Chinese vegetables' and the way they can't seem to make anything actually spicy. Golden Kitchen was a real surprise -- yummy really spicy and actual Chinese vegetables. I got Kung Pao Chicken and the peanuts were so fresh and crunchy. My husband got Chicken in Garlic Sauce which was really spicy too. The chicken was tender and tasted like chicken. Eggrolls were tasty too. Overall it's not the cheapest but worth it. We'll definite be back. read more

I have been hear a year ago the food was great. I was disappointed this time the beef lomein when got home was gritty taste like it had sand in it How could you not wash your vegetables. Never will go back. Even if the daughter is a master chef. She is not there and it went downhill read more

Fantastic restaurant! I ordered the sesame chicken and it came out hot and fast! Everyone wears masks, socially distances, and they will come out to your car if they're not busy. Such kind people with an amazing business model. It's also crazy to think that they opened during covid-19! I will be returning anytime I come to visit! read more

I'm quite surprised at the great reviews for this place. The family & I were excited to have some really good Chinese food while on vacation. It was mediocre at best. The shrimp with lobster sauce had 3 actual shrimp in it. The rest was artificial crab sticks cut up. Nothing was great. I won't be back and recommend looking elsewhere for good Chinese food. read more

Always so kind, accommodating, and make great food!!! I enjoy mixing the soups and a bunch of the specials so able to always have a variety! read more

This place is awesome! I eat there at least once a week and it's the best kung pao chicken I've found in the area!

Okay food but not outstanding! The food was typical Americanized Chinese food and the portion sizes were generous. Our order was; pork lo-mein was short on pork and very oily, schezuan shrimp was good with a decent number of shrimp, steamed dumplings were a bit chewey and bland tasting and the hot & sour soup was really very good. There are better options for take out nearby so we will likely go back to China Hau however if I was staying in Surfside and wanting Chinese food I would give it a try. read more

Sorry, if you really want good Chinese, keep looking--this isn't it. My family eats a lot of authentic Asian food and after all the great reviews we were excited to try. Turned out to be just another "any town in America" strip mall Chinese take out. I was excited to see chicken with bok choy as an entree. When I got home we found were just given chicken in the standard brown sauce with mixed vegetables--no bok choy! I could understand if they ran out, but they should've told us since it wasn't what we ordered. All in all we ordered close to $80 take out and I tried almost everything and NOTHING stood out, just edible. I realize expectations are very different but so far we have not found any good Chinese food in the area. read more

This place is soooooo good! Fresh, cooked to order Chinese food. Glad we finally have a go-to Chinese food place close to the house. Check it out, you will not be disappointed! read more

Golden Kitchen - General Tso Chicken. Steamed Dumplings. Sweet and Sour Chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

This is our daughter and her family's go to Chinese restaurant, and she's always telling us how good it is, so after a day of fishing on the pier at Myrtle Beach State Park, we stopped here to get supper on the way back to her place. Wife and I got Kung Pao chicken, one of my favorites with some egg drop soup and an extra egg roll. Generous portion sizes as my wife and I were able to make two meals off of this one order, so I don't understand the review that says this place has small portions. Food was hot and very good. My daughter is a frequent flier here and the owner knew her as soon as we walked in. The owner is very sweet and friendly. When she brought our food out, my daughter introduced us and she gave a us all a big hug and wished us a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. WOW! friendly service like that is hard to find any more in todays world and I will always give my business to a place that treats it's customers like family. From now on we will be going to Golden Kitchen at least once each time we come to the beach to visit our daughter. read more

Food is consistently good and ready when it's supposed to be. Order taker was efficient and easily understandable. Portions are large. Parking can sometimes be tough. read more

Food was good, however we requested extra duck sauce with our combos and only received 2 packets and 2 fortune cookies with our 4 combos. That and it originally said 20-35 mins for delivery and it took 50. I would still order from them again if I wanted a Chinese night in. read more

This is the very best Chinese food I have had in the area. The steamed dumplings are handmade and the best! The restaurant is very clean and the staff is very respectful. I highly recommend this gem. read more

Soooooo, I had never heard of this place before. I started using door dash.... was wanting a late night Chinese meal.....ordered this amazingly delicious food. Not kidding. Hands down best I ever had. Packaged perfectly and always hot and fresh. Forget the diet.....Golden Kitchen rocks!!!!! read more

My family and I love this place! Inside is quaint and has nice decor, and wonderful customer service. Everything that we have tried so far is soooo good! Some of our favorites are mai fun noodles, spring rolls, and the fried rice is delicious. Definitely stop by if you want some good Chinese. (: read more

Great Chinese food and hospitality from a lost time! The owner is so courteous as is the staff. They automatically put hot tea and water on your table as well as fried noodles. The food we ordered was so delicious. I would recommend a daily special as it is a good bargain. I ordered salt and pepper shrimp and it was full of flavor and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Everyone else was very happy at the table. Please try it when you are in Ft. Lauderdale. You will not be disappointed read more

First time getting take out from this location. The food was very good, happy we found this spot! We shall return !! A+++++

This place has the typical Chinese menu but the food is good. Portions are a bit on the smaller side, and prices are higher than other Chinese places in the area. Seating area is limited, so not really suitable for large groups. Parking is limited at this location. We have tried many different entrees and all have been good. The hot and sour soup is some of the best we have tried. We didn't like that the only way to have water with our meal was to buy bottled water. People are always friendly here, which is not the case at a lot of places these days. read more

Dishes were great! Extra Spicy was spicy! Very clean and appropriate precautions taken for COVID. Vegetables were fresh and not overcooked. The food, even fried food, was not excessively oily. Roast Pork Lo Mein and Kung pao dishes were tasty. Egg rolls were fresh and appeared cooked to order. read more

New owners. I had egg foo young and egg roll. Had a funny taste to everything. I really liked the other owners...food was excellent then. Won't go back. read more

This was amazing. Not greasy. Full of flavor. Real authentic Chinese food. Will definitely be ordering again.

Their food is great! We have take out from them on a regular basis when we are in Surfside!

Fresh food, great customer service, short wait time, welcoming and clean environment. Curry shrimp lunch special and fried dumplings are amazing! read more

Friendly, quick, had good tofu options. Food tasted great. Dining area was bright and clean. Fried dumplings were awesome.

Was it there 6/27. Lots of people waiting for their orders which made me feel good since it was my first time here. The food did not disappoint. Everything was very delicious. Soups, wontons, egg roll, dinners were all very good! Woman at front counter was super friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I would have posted a picture but I ate it all. Delicious. I am a local and this is definitely one of the best, if not the best, take out chinese food around. Curry chicken and wonton soup are my go to. Egg roll was not greasy. A big plus. read more
