We are definitely adding their menu to our take-out list and are happy to drive a bit out of the way to pick it up or eat inside. Pros: Many Chinese takeouts are kind of a dump inside, with piles of supplies, papers, boxes, and a few sticky tables because it seems they really don't want you to stay in and eat. This is not the case with Golden China, the dining room is clean bright, and roomy. The food was all great and a bit original. Many of the traditional items we normally order had little twists that elevated them beyond the norm. better dipping sauces, better gravies, and fresher vegetables that were not overcooked. We liked everything we ordered. Cons: They have a soda fountain and a drink fridge. please add Zeo Coke or Zero Pepsi to the fountain drinks. A bit salty for our tastes, we may not come as often as we like just to avoid the saltiness. It wasn't terrible, just a bit heavy for us.

We usually go to another Chinese buffet in town, but we always go there! I recommended Mai Tai because we needed something different that day. Plus, there were rows and rows of food. I just knew we would find something even better than the other buffet. Meh. I think they had this coconut chicken or something. I don't remember the exact name, but it was deep-fried chicken pieces covered in a spicy mayonnaise-based sauce. That and the egg drop soup were the only things I enjoyed. Mom liked the corn and the string beans. Of all the food there, that's all we ate. We tried other things, but something was off about the flavor or the way they were cooked. I have no idea. Our server was nice, but obviously in a bad way. We overheard that she had been working for a month and hadn't received her first check. I would be upset, too! Thank goodness she didn't take it out on us. Even if she had, I wouldn't have blamed her. We left a nice tip. Apparently, a lot of family I have no knowledge of visit Mai Tai. A relative, whom I've never met before, walked up to me and asked me if I was so-and-so's granddaughter. I said yes and asked how they could tell. "By your walk." My w a l k.

The food bar was long and had many choices but the meat dishes had almost no meat in them. Staple items like broccoli and beef had no meat in it that I could see. Most of the food was fired out and some of the dishes that should be hot were very cold. The only dish either of us liked was the thinly sliced BBQ pork which was kind of like jerky but it was still good. They even got my drink messed up, I asked if they had Coke ZERO, and they said yes. What they served could not even be described as a cola, more like when kids dump in a bit over everything because they think it's funny but won't drink it because it's gross, it tasted like that. Positives: The fruit was fresh and well-displayed. The sushi area was fresh and had several interesting options. The hibachi grill looked okay, I should have focused on that because at least it would have been freshly prepared.

the sesame chicken was gooey and sour and the orange chicken was squishy and spicy and not sweet at all. the rice tasted and smelt like wet dog. the only good thing I consumed was the egg roll. steak and chicken hibachi was weird and slimy. wasted $40 on this because it had good yelp reviews. I'm just trying to do you a favor and hope that you don't waste your money here like we did. read more
