Love this place. their takeout is awesome. Cheap but you get a ton of food. My tried and true in Boulder for Chinese.

Not sure why the rating is so low but I will say it was an excellent experience for us. We went fairly late, around 9pm. No one was there when we got there but two tables were full when we left. The food was excellent and big portions. We ordered 2 apps and 3 entrees. There was 3 of us and we had extra for two more people. We ordered chicken dumplings, cream cheese wontons, Shanghai noodles, orange chicken and Mongolian beef. Everything was really good!!! Service was great. Booth seating is very uncomfortable lol. we will definitely be back and our son at CU boulder will definitely be coming back. read more

This is a great little local, family-owned spot in Boulder for classic Chinese food. Nothing fancy -- just solid, familiar dishes done well. The lo mein is standard Chinese lo mein. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it absolutely hits the spot, and my daughter loves it (which honestly counts for a lot). The service is always great -- friendly, welcoming, and efficient -- and the prices are just right. It's the kind of place you come back to because it's easy, reliable, and feels local in the best way. read more

This place isn't too busy in the actual restaurant, but every 10 minutes you can see multiple Uber eats drivers picking up orders. Extremely affordable and has a very authentic Chinese menu for those that can read Chinese. Owners are lovely. read more

Food and service are amazing! I don't understand how this place doesn't have higher reviews. Food is amazing!

I have no idea why this place is rated so low. It is a bit minimal on the decor, but the prices and quantity of food are AMAZING. The food also tastes incredible. It's pretty clear that it is a family owned business, but they seem to recognize their regulars and are incredibly kind. read more

Goated food, especially if you order off of the chinese menu. Recommend spicy chicken, twice cooked pork, braised pork ribs, and kung pao chicken. read more

Best egg drop soup of my life. There is no close second. No third. Only a paltry fourth because other people deserve some recognition too. But this stuff? Ambrosia. It would be worth the wait if there was a wait, but I think I got my food 10 minutes after I ordered, which is lightning fast. I got takeout and it was ready quickly, so I didn't stay inside long, but the restaurant seemed clean and well tended. read more

There was a long dark hair cooked into my orange chicken. Really ruined this experience for me as I was really excited to try this restaurant. read more

The food is definitely worth it. I ordered the scallion pancakes and I saw the chefs make it from scratch. The lo mein is so good and so is the beef fried rice. For the portion size and the price this place is great for Chinese takeout. The lady working there was really nice and helpful too. Will definitely go again read more

Excellent food! Very tasty and I was especially impressed with how fast they made it. And they keep their kitchen open until the last minute they are open. Very good restaurant- highly recommend! read more

The food is very good for the price you pay. The owner operators are the nicest, hardest working people. Seems to be mostly a take out place. Food comes quickly and you can order on line. Convenient location. Give them a try. read more

the food was great. the taste reminds me of when I visited China. The service was good too. They are a mom and pop restaurant and seem to really enjoy what they do. read more

Tofu is so so soggy and the cream cheese wonton thing was disgusting I have no idea how it has high ratings Uber eats

Best Chinese we've had in town so far, so much that I don't want to try other places cause I am always happy with their quality. Thank you so much Golden Sun!! The Best in Town!!! read more

Cheap, super generic, uninspired food and lots of it. The onion has a canned, after-taste to it. They deliver fast.

This place is unmatched in friendliness and hospitality. The food is good and for very cheap. Every person you talk to will be super friendly and try their best to help you. The vibe in there is amazing and the flavor is great. read more

10/10 best place if you're looking for a delectable college meal. Prices are great for SO MUCH food. And the food is good! Perfect take out for a fun night in. read more

Extremely friendly staff, a quaint little restaurant in the corner of a shopping center with lots of character, prices are the same as anywhere and the food is at times a bit more plain than I would expect from a Chinese takeout place but perhaps I ordered the wrong thing! Give it a try! read more

I've only been here once and I plan to keep coming!! Amazing service everyone is very kind and patient. The food was absolutely amazing with lots of flavor, great portion sizing, and excellent prices. Totally recommend to anyone!! Keep up the good work read more

This place is super quaint! The two workers were very kind to me and my friends. I ordered the shrimp lo mein and it was delicious! My friend ordered the orange chicken (not pictured) but i swear they cooked a whole chicken! Good proportions and good prices. read more

Was on a work trip, looking for some nearby Chinese food after happy hour. Didn't expect it to hit the spot, so good for what it was -- affordable and fast. Service is pretty good, and ambiance was nothing different than other chinese fast food restaurant. read more

Yummy Chinese food. The servings are huge and the owners are very nice. Check out the scallion pancakes.

The is so good and the price is excellent personal is very kind to us and I love the taste in each plate!!

They do sea same tofu better than anywhere else in town. So good!! Especially for the price! "Fried rice" is just white rice though - that was disappointing read more

Outstanding take-out or delivery, and they're open super late if you want to visit their headquarters. Love their Mongolian Beef, Chicken with Snow Peas, Garlic Pork. Great veggie egg rolls. Really like their fried dumplings, but their steamed dumplings are incredible. Delivered quickly, and amazingly warm!!!!( Open on major holidays too! read more

I normally like to visit a place more than once before writing a bad review, but I don't want to pay to come back here. The food and service were awful and it's just not a thing I'm inclined to do. I'm pretty sure the curry sauce on my Vegetable Curry dish was just curry powder mixed into warm water and I feel that if we hadn't gone to the counter to ask about our bill, we'd still be waiting for it. According to their website, they offer free delivery and their hours are good, especially for Boulder, so I can see how there could be an allure. Some dishes may well be better than the one I had. My husband ordered the combination fried rice and it was ok. Not great, but better than mine. Also, the portions were large, so that's something. There will be plenty of average leftovers for later. If you need an affordable place with good hours and free delivery, I will cautiously recommend this place, but only then, and one should keep their expectations low. read more

My boyfriend and I order the same thing for delivery each time: Pan Fried Noodles, Pork Dumplings, and Vegetable Egg Rolls. Although we haven't tried other dishes because we're only in Boulder during the school semester (and have since graduated), this meal is perfect whenever we're craving Asian food. For us, our entire delivery experience was fast and excellent. They were responsive with our delivery order and always call us to ask if we want the sauce for the noodles on the side (since pouring the sauce over fried noodles will just make it soggy). There are so much noodles that we're able to split it between two people! The Pork Dumplings are an absolute game changer. The dipping sauce is the perfect blend of savory and spice. The texture of the dumplings remained crispy even during delivery. read more

My favorite Chinese food restaurant in Boulder! Great food, sweet people and customer service. highly recommend!

Went there late Thanksgiving night. Seemed to have only two to three people working. Had very prompt service. Food was excellent. Had Mongolian Beef, Garlic Chicken, Curry Chicken, Vegetable Lo Mein and the chicken potstickers. All were good and very fresh. They had three tables and four to five carry out orders during the time they'll we were there, and they handled things very well. Great experience. Would go there again! read more

Good food at great price. This food while being very inexpensive is really tasty. They don't even charge extra for combination fried rice vs. pork fried rice. Lots is meat in fried rice. Mine had more pork than I have ever had before anywhere. read more

Went on Christmas. Every Chinese food restaurant knows what's up on Christmas. Even though they should have been HEAVING with guests, they had like 3 tables. We were stoked to find a place that wasn't busy. Oh it was me, my wife, and my tiny little 7 year old buddy. We were given the cheapest menus printable and told to sit wherever. White paper, black text, inside office max binder sleeves. Not a problem! We're not picky! Let's grub it up. We sat at an empty table as an employee slurped broth and dumplings from a large serving dish about 4 feet away. Whatever, we all gotta eat sometime, no big deal! Let's just get a beverage? Ignored. My super well mannered 7 year old was friendly and waved to the passing staff. Ghosted. Let me reiterate; this was not a slammed busy restaurant on Christmas that I'm lampooning unfairly. They were practically empty. Carry out wasn't doing much either. Phone wasn't ringing. Other tables were pretty neglected too. They had enough staff walking about that it's a bit insulting to have been ignored that hard. I honestly think that maybe they realized that they were about to get more business than normal, and they didn't mind losing an eat-in table so they just ignored us until we took the hint and left. So, not to be dissuaded, we ordered via grub hub. It's been just over two hours now, and still no food. I've been in the industry for 15+ years, and I'm totally cool with waiting for service on holidays. I salute all of you who work in service on holidays, and do so with pride. But when you turn or your open sign and start seating guests, we expect you to be somewhat interested in our business. We were excited and ready to over look all the red flags. Hopefully the delivery arrives at some point. I'm losing hope! Good night! Got the food! Not bad! Would have liked to eat it at the restaurant read more

Love this place very affordable and the portions are more then generous and always tasty!!

My go to place for delicious college town late night (or at least later than most places) takeout of items that hit the spot, like lo mein, singapore noodles, kung pao chicken. So glad this place has held up before, during, and after the pandemic without too many changes. read more

Favorite place -- big helpings for pretty cheap and spicy chicken lomein is so good :)

As far as Chinese food goes in the Boulder area, this has become out primary go to location for lunch at my work. We are averaging at least 2 times a week at this point, and the food is consistently good for us. WE order about for 3 to 7 people every time from the lunch menu, and everyone usually gets the same thing they did last time because of how much they enjoy it. The delivery is usually consistent as well as we order for a 12:00 delivery the food gets here between 12 & 12:15 which to us is acceptable given the lunch rush for Boulder. Some of the times we do have special requests with the food for things like making it spicy or no vegetables given some of our employees food allergies and they have always gotten the orders correct. The lunch portions are fairly huge which usually lets us take at least half of it home for dinner or to save for lunch tomorrow. On the occasion that we did order the dinner portion it too was large filling one of those standard black rectangular containers completely to the top. We find the sauces to be rich and full of flavor with very little need for salt or pepper, or any other modification to the sauce. The meats for beef and chicken have never been overcooked and are tender and flavorful. The fried rice is one of our favorites and has a really good flavor to it that isn't just wok oil and isn't dried out and crunchy. The only negatives that we wish would be improved is with their breaded dishes like sesame or sweet and sour. The breading is kind of generic and doesn't stick to the meat at all. Feels like a really thin pancake batter type of texture and usually contains a decent amount of oil in it. The batter itself adds a weird flavoring to whatever else is with it and honestly could use some improvement. read more

As far as Chinese food goes this is not good by any standard. The rice tasted old. Almost every product seemed like it had been sitting out all day. It's not that authentic and it's not that cheap and it's not that delicious. Why go? Also this place suffers from the eternal problem of giving white peoples super mild food due to stereotypes, instead of just asking people how spicy they want their food. Very lame. read more

This place has great food, wasn't expecting the food when it was delivered to be that good! Friendly delivery guy and also the gentleman that answered the phone. Prices are great and not expensive, plus gives a good amount of food too! Will definitely eat here again. read more
