    Sesame chicken with fried rice lunch special
    Angela S.

    I've come here a couple of times for lunch and have enjoyed everything I've tried. I honestly can't think of any feedback regarding the food that isn't positive. The menu says it is New York style. I'm not sure what that means, but the food has always been flavorful, hot, and filling. The lunch specials they offer are really affordable and you get a good size portion for what you pay. I haven't tried the dinner options yet, but I'm sure they're just as good. The few staff members I have interacted with have been really friendly. The only thing that would make it better would be if they had fountain drinks instead of just canned so you can get refills. But it's really not a deal breaker. They are set up as more of a takeout restaurant rather than a place to sit and be waited on. But they do have a few tables you can eat at if you choose to stay there.

    Food was bland and just not good at all. We ordered chicken fried rice and beef and broccoli with an egg roll. Chicken was soggy, slimy and upset my husband's stomach, beef and broccoli had also had slimy and distasteful meat, upset my stomach. Egg roll tasted like it was fried in old oil.

    I was craving some steamed dumplings and we were in the area. The place is clean and there were a couple tables inside to dine. I ordered a orange chicken dinner special with white rice and it came with an egg roll. Also ordered the steamed dumplings and an egg drop soup. The steamed dumplings only originally are served with soy sauce but there's a chili oil or dumpling sauce that I asked for. So good! The orange chicken wasn't spicy which I wish it had some spice but served with white rice and some steamed broccoli. The egg roll was crispy and so good. The egg drop soup was just broth and egg. I do prefer when it has some veggies in it but was still good. Overall everything was great! We would definitely return next time I'm craving some delish dumplings!

    Hot and Sour Soup

    The vegetable lo mein was pretty good, the hot and sour soup was ok, it tasted more sweet & sour? The orange chicken was not crispy, but I ordered it through uber eats so maybe a long drive eroded the crispiness? Idk but the breading was really soft and unappetizing, I didn't even finish it. I recommend the lo mein.

    Golden Dragon is a small very casual take out type Chinese Restaurant located in Glendale. It is…read moreextra casual here. You order, pay at the counter and grab your beverage from the refrigerator. Your meal is packed in styrofoam so you either take out or eat in at one of the few tables inside. Parking is very easy because they are at the end of a strip mall in a big parking lot. Our food was very fresh. Portions were very large. The chicken in our dishes was masterfully moist and very tender. The food is a very good value if you like it. We ordered the yui shan chicken and the garlic chicken combos (only around $1. more to get soup, crab puff, egg roll and an upgrade from white rice to fried rice.) Based on only trying two dishes my conclusion is that they serve Arizona Style American Chinese Food. It is far less complex, less flavorful, and much less spicy than east coast American take out Chinese Food. It's not bad food in anyway so if you are from Arizona it is very good food. We started eating at the restaurant but I got the idea that I could take the food home and improve it for my taste. The food stayed piping hot and it did taste much better with just a spoonful of chili crisp added more flavors and some needed heat. The people working there seemed very nice and the restaurant looked sparkling clean. 3 stars is a positive review and means A-OK on Yelp. Give this place a try if you are good with Arizona Style Take Out Chinese Food.

The service is quick and convenient for a pick up. People are constantly picking up orders. I've eaten there as well, it's a very clean place. I just rather order ahead and take it home with large portions. The people are very nice. I recommend this place for Chinese food.

    Lots of parking, and it's not too far from my house. A win is a win…read more Service was very friendly. There's not a whole lot of decor to the place, but it's calm and unassuming. If you need to hold a conversation with someone, the music isn't too loud preventing that. Music was a mix, they did have "Golden" in the mix and ngl, I had to force myself not to sing along. They have lunch specials, even on Sundays. It's a great way to try a lot of options for cheaper. The lunch menu comes with a generous size entree, 2 scoops of fried rice, egg drop soup, a veggie spring roll and a fried cream cheese wonton. I got a few items, and we had so much food it's still in the fridge. Walnut shrimp was crispy, sauce wasn't overly sweet, nice crunch from the candied walnuts. You get a good portion. The shrimp was not overcooked. Yum. 8/10 Shrimp with lobster sauce, it was a little salty for me but had a nice mix of veggies, and the sauce didn't have too much cornstarch, so it wasn't gelatinous like at some places. Nice flavors though. Nothing overpowering. 6/10 Beef Chow Fun -not on the lunch menu but I literally get it at every Chinese place that has it. The rice noodles were not overcooked, beef was seasoned well and tender, not chewy. 10/10 would get that again. Hot and sour soup was pretty good. I could stand for it to have more "sour" to it. The flavors were a bit mellow for me. I like a more aggressively flavored hot and sour soup. Not bad though. 6.5/10 Mongolian beef. Nice tender beef, well cooked and seasoned. Good beef to onion ratio. 8/10. Chicken with mushrooms-saucy, full of veggies with a mild brown sauce. They had zucchini in it, and I love zucchini and mushrooms together. There was a lot of chicken, and it was seasoned well, not too salty. Definitely tasty. 8/10. Would I be back? Probably. I'm glad I found this spot. I've driven by it plenty, it's one you don't want to miss though!
