Great food, Great service, and perfect environment. Not super overwhelming when you walk in just the right amount of stuff. Food was super tasteful and probably the best chinese food ive ever had. The young waiter with the curly hair was super quick and cool. My girlfriend and I got the spicy orange chicken and the spicy mongolian beef with wonton soup and hot & sour drop soup. The soups were delicious and the egg rolls were nice and crunchy. The fried rice was the cherry on top. read more

Came in for lunch. Traditional and typical offerings. Rice was not so good but the chicken was good and there was a good amount of vegetables in my dish. Prices are good. read more

This is a hidden gem! Tucked away inside a plaza, but well worth the find! The waitress Steffanie was absolutely amazing! She was tentative, friendly, and engaging. I will definitely look for her in the future when I come into this restaurant again. I had chicken lo mein, and it was very good! The serving was massive! The plate probably could've fed 2 to 3 people Along with some white rice. Definitely coming back here! If you haven't tried this little gem, I suggest you get there today! read more

Place has changed hands and the food is not quite what it was in the past. We ordered only appetizers, so can comment on any entrees. The dipping sauce for the Pot Stickers is much sweeter than in the past and lacks the large amount of crushed red pepper that made it so good. Hot & Sour Soup is not anywhere as good as in the past. Sweet & Sour Sauce looks and tastes like the bright orange/yellow stuff in a jar from the grocery store. Crab Puff filling was annoyingly sweet I was assured they had the same cook, but am not a believer. The food was OK, not as good as in the past. read more

Our first time here. I would rate the food between a 3 and 4 star. Not great, not terrible. The real turn off was the $1.00 "service charge". read more

My husband and I have had a tradition ever since we started dating of trying different Chinese restaurants for their lunch specials. We always order the same dish so we can really compare how each place does it, and it has become one of our favorite traditions. We went to Golden Valley today, and it is safe to say they had the best version of my favorite dish so far. It really stood out from everywhere else we have tried. Another thing that impressed me was the egg roll. Most lunch specials come with one, and honestly, they are usually not up to my standards. I almost always end up giving mine to my husband. But Golden Valley's egg roll was to die for. It was crispy, flavorful, and actually something I wanted to finish myself. The service was also perfect. They were attentive without being overbearing, and they kept my water filled constantly, which is a huge thing for me when I am dining out. If you are looking for a cheap, delicious lunch option, Golden Valley is definitely the place to go. We will absolutely be adding this one to the top of our list. read more

Super nice and quick service, very affordable as well. The food was delicious way better than any chain restaurant. I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. read more

Favorite Chinese food spot in AZ. Love taking my family there for the lunch specials. 10 out of the 10 here at Tom's.

Can't wait to go back this place e has the best Chinese Food around. The service was spectacular. Pricing was great and the portions were massive. I met the owner Amanda and she was so gracious and thanks us for coming in. read more

When you walk in, it is a small mom and pop type feel. We were greeted by the sweetest older man who was so welcoming. There was also a lady working as well. We were treated like queens, literally! The man put our plates in front of us and had the brightest smile the entire time!! we started with the spring rolls and they were so delicious and crunchy, they were $1.45 each which was an amazing deal. We ordered the orange chicken with fried rice. The orange chicken had an amazing crunch and was soooo flavorful!!! The rice itself had an odd taste to it, almost a sink water taste. It also was not very fluffy, but it did the job. We also ordered the beef low main, it was very tasty as well. It just lacked a bit of flavor. For the portions and price, an amazing service we will be back!! We spent 37$ before too and got 2 huge plates and a soft drink along with an appetizer. read more

Great food. Great service. Tommy the owner always remembers my name. I have been a customer for over 20 years. Great prices too!!

Well, you can definitely tell that Tom does not own the restaurant anymore. We had orange chicken and walnut shrimp with two eggrolls. It was terrible such a disappointment for a place that we've been going to for so many years. The orange chicken was very generic something like what you would get down the street at the other Chinese food place. The walnut shrimp tasted like something straight out of a box not flavorful and super crunchy. The sweet-and-sour sauce is now called their home sauce and it taste like straight vinegar your choice but it's not the same. Has been TOM on the restaurant totally different ingredients and menu. read more

Honest review myself and partners review: I haven't been here since I was a kid , However I gave it a go the prices alright.. My review : I got the sesame chicken, 4.5/10 , The chicken was mid lacked taste and the sesame seeds were sprinkled in one corner. Sides I ordered pork egg roll and small egg drop soup, The pork egg roll 5/10 was very cold and tasted off egg drop soup 7/10 was cold and had no taste however compared it to dragon express , Dragon took the W and once I got home was missing my fried rice. Overall rating 3/5 My parters review: General Tao chicken: 4.5 Decent flavor Basicly was a copy and paste from the Sesame chicken side fried rice 3/10 too much bean sprouts and , small egg drop soup 3/10 lacked flavor and too much diced onions and was cold and Egg 10/10 loved it Overall walked into the store it was dead dead but there was a family of 20 sitting in the dining room Once I walked in no music dead silence and the whole family stared at me once I locked eyes with owner or greeter he said pick up or dine in I said pick up then stared at my order with my name on it overall it was a way different experience then from what I remember years years ago. read more

Golden Valley Chinese Restaurant - What I ordered. From my review . - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Picked Golden Valley as a central place to meet a friend and was pleasantly surprised. Great food, prices and service

I recently ordered some take out from here and it didn't disappoint. I got a new dish other than my usual and I loved it. It was a chicken and much room dish with spice. I would definitely order it again. I also ordered crab Rangoons, egg drop soup, wonton soup, two egg rolls, and teriyaki chicken. My dishes were very good. I do wish the egg rolls were more custom made. These seemed to be manufactured/frozen but I could be wrong. I also wish the soups came with the wonton strips as well. Other than that, I have no issues. I would definitely order from here again. read more

Egg fu young was the worst. Every thing else was great I have been going to golden valley for over 10 year always has been great! First time ordered egg fu young not good read more

Great Chinese place for those big portions you're used to but don't find at the Asian market

This was my wife and my first and last time here. I ordered the shrimp and got 5 of them the chicken couldn't have been thinner the pork was ok and there were enough pieces of this. My wife had cashew chicken very few cashews and not much chicken but it had plenty of frozen peas and carrots . My dish had been plenty of broccoli and the sauce didn't taste good. This was the worst Chinese food we ever had read more

I ordered 2 lunch specials. The shrimp order had 4 small shrimps one scoop of fried rice tons of onions and green peppers and the egg roll tasted like 2 or 3 days ago. Not worth the price. Do not eat here. read more

Great price, instant service for late night takeout, and great food! Very much recommended to those in need of some authentic chinese food after hours read more

I came here for lunch for the first time and was really impressed with the value and the price! The owner was hustling with the lunch rush and did an amazing job. She recommended which meal I should get from the lunch special menu ($8.95) and it did not disappoint! If you're in the area this is a great place for inexpensive lunch with huge portions! read more

Really great Chinese food. I order Kung Pao Chicken all the time and IMHO this was in the top 3 Kung Pao Chicken dishes I've tasted in the valley. Hot/ sour soup also very good. Service was courteous and fast. Highly recommended! read more

Food constantly good. Special adjustments to my order have always been accommodated. Service is polite and kind. Portions are amazing, enough for two meals. I go here regularly because it is worth the return. read more

My first time eating here, my daughter ordered to be delivered, I ordered egg drop soup and chicken wings, when I opened up that lid on those chicken wings I was like WTH, they were wayyy over cooked, dried out and cold to the touch, they didn't even look like chicken wings (Trash) egg drop soup had more than eggs in there, taste like little pieces of hard rice, I was very disappointed, my daughter had a lot more different items but I dare not try anything else, I won't be ordering here ever, if it's not good the first time I'm done! Panda Express would have been a better option compared to this mess, money wasted!! read more

The couple that runs this place is amazing and the food is always delicious. Takeout is super fast.

This is our GO TO Chinese place. A+++ every time. Fried rice is bomb, and the egg rolls are the best I have ever tasted. read more

So this place is situated in an old kind of run down strip mall, hiding between some empty spaces. My family has been dining here for the last 16+ years, and there's a reason they've been here so long. You walk in, and yes you can tell it's got that old school feel and hasn't been updated in who knows how long, but it's clean! They have a great menu selection and the food is prepared fresh & hot right to your table. Staff and service are also great & attentive. Because of Covid, they're only offering take out right now, but great place to stop for your next meal. You won't regret it. read more

Just fine, and in my book fine is a four letter word that begins with f. I ordered the shrimp in lobster sauce that was so soupy the scoop of rice ran out long before the soup did. There were also MORE mushrooms THAN SHRIMP. I DON'T DO MUSHROOMS. NOWHERE does it say mushrooms are part of this entree. I WOULD NOT HAVE ORDERED IT. It's a good thing I'm not ALLERGIC or I would be in the HOSPITAL right now. The crab puffs are fine, pretty flavorless unless dredged in the sweet and sour sauce. There are a lot of Asian restaurants in this neighborhood...next. read more

The food is always amazing. The owners and staff are really nice and quick with service. It definitely a favorite

2.9/5: Average, fine tasting Chinese food. Had sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice, garlic chicken, egg rolls and crab puffs. Crab puffs seem generic and not like other photos on Yelp. Garlic chicken had good flavor not bland. All in all I find it hard to fine tastebuds blasting Chinese food in the valley. Always meh or ugh. I will order again tho. read more

Haven't found a really good Chinese restaurant in Arizona. This one is better than most.

This place is BOMB - especially if you're vegan or vegetarian. The owner is always smiling and so so kind. Always a pleasant experience!

Had dinner on New Year's Eve take out. Chicken and broccoli was very good. Veggies and beef was awesome. Egg rolls were a little greasy but full of flavor. Had sweet and sour pork but had to much breading for me. House fried rice was great. Overall good Chinese food. Would rate it at a B. read more
