Wow, I am very pleased about this restaurant. I have ignored it for 25 years and I'm happy to now realize how incredible it is. I ordered the Singapore Mei Fun which is my favorite Chinese/Singapore dish to eat. I always ask for it to be extra spicy which the chef delivered. It was extremely spicy. It hit the spot, but no where near a point that I couldn't enjoy it. The wonton soup was good too. I was happy about the amount of wontons that were in the soup. The restaurant was not stingy on the wontons. The owner offered me the combo meal which comes with an eggroll and cheese Rangoon. there are multiple condiments like spicy mustard, sweet-and-sour sauce, and soy sauce. Plus, there is the signature fortune cookie. The service was quick. I would not eat at the restaurant because I believe after Covid many people don't come to sit and eat. There is a section for people to sit and eat, but the restaurant in the middle does not have any seating. All of the seating is on the outer rim by the windows, which is nice because of the view of the rest of the shops in the shopping mall. The owner is super cool and he gave me a little history of his Swarovski crystal collection. There's a mini pond inside that you can make wishes with your change and a really cool fish tank with an eclectic array of fish. I will definitely be going back there to eat the lunch special, which is at an affordable price of mostly $10.50. read more

The golden wok did not disappoint! From ordering our food, to picking up our food, to eating the food, we enjoyed our entire experience. We ordered on a Friday night over the phone and picked up our food within 20minutes of ordering. The food was very good and we'd go back! Great evening take out option! read more

Ken, the owner has been in business for 20+ years! Even during the COVID Pandemic, Ken continued to serve amazing Chinese food, to the community, by way of Pick/up & Delivery! The Golden Wok, is one of the last gems, serving Aurora and the surrounding cities. I no longer live in Aurora, but when I want amazing authentic Chinese food and outstanding customer service, I go to the Golden Wok! read more

Have gotten dinner here on several occasions and it was a very good experience. The food was very flavorful and done right! I have tried several different shrimp dishes and all were first rate. My wife usually gets chicken and was very happy with the dishes she tried. The quantity is great too! Enough for a dinner and lunch the next day. The complete dinners with egg roll, crab rangoon, and soup are a good value. We found our "go-to" Chinese restaurant in Aurora. Just sorry that they don't do dine in, but I understand their reasons. read more

My girlfriend suggested this place and I knew nothing about it. Ordered the dinner special for each of us. We must have seen an old menu cause it said $17.95 per person. I went in and picked up and got $54 bill. I looked at the menu they had and didn't see the dinner special listed. Aside from the bill, I went in and it looks like they had done in but moved to carry out/ delivery only. The place smelled like a sewage leak, which didn't help. Got the food and went home, I got the sesame chicken and my girlfriend got the Szechuan chicken. It comes with fried rice and apps. Sesame chicken was okay, but nothing great. My girlfriend's chicken tasted funny, like old or cooked in something strange. She was pissed off. I can deal with mediocre food, but not for what they're charging! Will not be back read more

Ordered several entrees as well as apps. The apps were solid, spring rolls and a sizzling rice chicken soup. The entrees were overly sweet and not particularly spicy hot. White rice was good. Portions were large. Service was friendly and food was on time for takeout. I would try other entrees to judge if they were sweet or not. read more

Pretty...pretty...pretty good. I work nearby so this is an easy lunch or dinner grab. Tons of food and the leftovers keep well. That being said I'm vegetarian and just get a fried rice and some spring rolls. Lots of other reviews are happy, raving, or downright disgusted. Seems the chicken or seafood protein options can be lacking at times. I've also never come here for dine in service but phoned in my order. Many phone orders with quick and accurate pickup, a fair price, and polite and friendly service. Always quoted ten to fifteen minutes for my order and it's sitting and waiting right as the counter waiting for payment. Great to be so reliable in lunch when you are pressed for time. The indoor seating looks spacious though. Various seating options from solo dining to two and up to eight people per party. Nice lighting, a fish tank, water features, and the classic Buddha statue. Fancy Aurora! Menu wise you'll find the usual offerings such as fried rice, lo mein, egg foo young, appetizers, and soups. All for fair prices and large plated portions. To go wise everything is always packed neatly with napkins, condiments, cutlery, safe and securely. Not something to trek across the state for but it's a good tasty lunch that you can eat for dinner and a few midnight snacks if you want. If you live in the area or are nearby and wanting some quick food give them a try. read more

My family has been going to Golden Wok since the (*gulp) 1980's. They are a go-to for us for simple, consistent Chinese food. No bells & whistles, nothing fancy. Just good portions using fresh ingredients and very friendly owners!! Please support local businesses! read more

This was my order of the teriyaki chicken dinner. The chicken tasted like SALTY dried up tough, chewy chicken. - all brown and red looking. They said it was "chicken." The picture doesn't show the white rice. There were three small pieces of broccoli, other veggies all in teriyaki sauce was salty brown water. read more

Great Take-Out! I'm glad I found this place! It's consistently good. I have not been dissatisfied and we've ordered take out at least 15 times now. Kung Pao Chicken Cashew Chicken Wontons Fried dumplings Hot and sour soup Orange chicken Sesame chicken Moo shoo chicken Pork fried rice Those have been our favs. Normal American Chinese food - but consistently delicious! I used to go to Formosa ... but theirs started to taste like dish water smells so that's how I can compare the flavors for ya. Choose this place. And the gentleman who answers the phone is SO nice too. Bonus . read more

Great family owned Chinese food. Because they are small and family owned dine in hours vary but always delicious & fast!

Ordered Chinese from this place for pickup. Friends insisted they had the best Chinese and drove all the way to Aurora to pick it up. Overall it was pretty decent, but I can't say that I'd make that drive for it. There was a lot of us do we ordered a ton of food as shared. 1) chicken lo mein... ok fresh, better leftover 2) combo lo mein...delicious fresh, not very good leftover 3) teriyaki chicken...cooked perfectly but not a lot of flavor 4) General Tso chicken....more like a sweet & sour then General 5) egg rolls... pretty good 6) crab cheese wantons... not a fan, and I'm a wanton fanatic 7) hot & sour soup... weirdly sweet 8) dumplings... most DELICIOUS things ever Overall, it's ok, definitely better than a lot out there, but it seems like Chinese takeout is going downhill these days read more

Super place for drivers or pickup. We get this all the time and they are so good at getting food hot too you fast at a decent price. Definitely recommend. ! read more

I ordered the sesame chicken and the chicken was a little sour. Like it tastes like the chicken is going bad. The fried rice was was nothing special either barely had any egg in it. Not a good place to eat from the sesame chicken side . Panda Express friend of rice and the orange chicken is better then this read more

If I could give it zero I really would. My sweet and sour chicken was dry and had no bread or crust. Just fried hard chicken. The lo main was tasteless. The crab wanton dough was uncooked. Far from good Chinese food I've had in my life. Save your time have pizza! read more

Golden Wok - Chinese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I have been going here for over 20 years. It's my family's most-favorite Chinese Restaurant...EVER! The food is always good, and the prices more-than-reasonable. I started going here when my daughters were small toddlers. We still love to go there! We are all creatures of habit and order our favorites every time. Mine is the Sesame Chicken. Always done to perfection. Ken the main man at the front counter is always cheerful and glad to help. BTW, they have an awesome aquarium with amazingly beautiful sea creatures to look at while you wait for your table. Service is always excellent, along with the food. Can I do six stars? read more

Ok. Service was great. Let's talk food. I started with the hot n sour soup. It was spicy, very peppery. I enjoyed it. Wonton and egg roll were good. Overall average, sauce were store quality. The main course was dragon and Phoenix. The fried rice was okay, store? The dish was ok. Overall bland. What disappointed looks like to me is using the sauces to enjoy a meal. It's ok. read more

Absolute crap. We drove here to get food because I'm in ICU and the hospital food is getting really hard to swallow. Bought Crispy Chicken. Doughy Chicken would be a better description, and flavorless. Actually soupy. Same with my wife's orange beef. Soupy and poopy. Even the white rice sucked. Before you waste your time here just throw 30-40.00 dollars in the trash and save yourself some driving. read more

I'm not one to say Chinese food is ever good but this place is very very tasty. Loved the sesame chicken. I would come back again and again. Service was good and fast. Sunday is delivery and takeout only so I was surprised that the food was still hot when we got home. Will have to come back for lunch during the week and try something else on the menu. read more

Years ago I dined here and remember how I loved the decoration and the purple painted walls. The owner's wife is a big fan of Swarovski, its crystals nicely displayed in a huge glass case. She is a very friendly woman and warms up to you in no time, she likes to chat while giving great service! This past time we came here for a dinner party presented in a five course meal. The soup was Minced Beef with Egg Whites and you don't see that on the regular menu, guess it's only for special occasions! It was OK, I've had better somewhere else, it's a tricky soup to make authentically anyway. The second course was appetizers which included Cheese Wonton and Pot Stickers, with sweet and sour and dumpling dipping sauces, respetively. Both items were very fresh and hot, the taste was standard. The main course included my favorite of Golden Wok's best dish - Sizzling Short Rib Platter. You can smell it from the kitchen and the flavor is incredible, a must try if you visit this restaurant! We also had Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, Chinese Broccoli, and Shrimp Two-Ways. I find Golden Wok makes great sauces and as a result, you can easily down a couple bowls of rices. Service was very attentive. Our water glasses always full, dirty plates constantly get switched out. It's a great dining experience! read more

A star for speedy and friendly service. And another star for adding extra cookies (almond cookies AND fortune cookies, that's cool) But.... my food tastes the way the zoo smells. And the lo mein was mushy, like turned to clay in my mouth. And the fried rice was pretty bland. I so badly wanted to love it because it's close and they were super nice over the phone, but even my kid, who eats everything, wouldn't eat the zoo food. He fed it to the dogs. :( read more

Really nice job turning this place around keep it up, everything is tasty staff is friendly

Guy was rude my friend told the guy he didn't like the Kung Pow shrimp and the guy was very rude about it my friend just wanted to change to a different entree this is our first time here and the last time. Got to another restaurant. However it looks nice in the place but it's empty probably because the people who don't use yelp stopped coming and they didn't write reviews because they don't have yelp. He did replace the food but it made our appetite vanish and left a sour taste in our mouth about this place. read more

Golden Wok - This is the food he did exchange it but the rude commentary was not except-able I drove to the restaurant to eat and support you stay away - Chinese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We ordered tonight. They do not offer any "freebies" for spending a certain amount, like some Chinese restaurants order. We had the sesame chicken, the steamed mixed veggies with shrimp, and the combo lo mein. All in all very decent. The chicken was my favorite - the sauce was great and the chicken was not overly breaded or greasy. The Lo Mein was average but there was a good amount of meat and seafood in it and it was not greasy. The steamed shrimp with mixed veggies was good also and seemed fresh, and there was a good amount of shrimp. read more

This was by far some of the best Asian food I have had in a long time! The rice was tender and flavored just right - the Sesame Chicken had a great taste, not too spicy but very flavorful! The attention to detail, the great service and atmosphere will keep me coming back! read more

I've been going to Golden Wok since the early 90's. Food is still good, service is still good and I still love the fish tank;)

Came here to have dinner with a friend. At first to celebrate it looks like a small space. Once inside it is very beautiful space and even classic and could even be considered romantic. We ordered the dinner for two which comes with an entree per adult and a poo poo platter and a soup each. It was really a lot of food. They bring it out in sections so it is really a 3 course meal. There were times we were waiting quite a bit for our next course because there was only 1 person waiting tables. The food was delicious, the service was great and the price was right on! I look forward to my next Colorado visit so I can go back again and try something else. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I RARELY give bad reviews, unless I truly feel like the food or establishment is unsanitary. And let me tell you, this food was horrendous! From the moment I opened the container, it immediately put out this horrible odor. I tried one bite and had to spit it out! It tasted like rotten seafood....except that it was chicken. Literally the only thing edible out of our $36 order was the crab Rangoon and the rice. Do not, do not, do not! read more

Worst Chinese food I have ever had. Not edible beef and broccoli smelled rancid. The beef had a slimy film on it odd. My son teared up when his orange chicken was covered in red peppers. Called the place back. The guy screamed at me saying haven't I ordered food there before, my taste buds are bad. My son ran that food back, I had to stop pay with my bank, later ordered panda. read more

Ken is a brilliant owner who runs an impressive, tight ship. I saw corrals, dimming lights and overall lots of crystal palace themed decor which blew me off a great storm. He was an amazing attendee and I felt obligated to return and give it another chance. We saw a menu with potential and understood why the average person might feel 50/50. We started off with the soup for 2! Appetizers: Hot & Sour Soup was very sweet and stuck with me. I loved the Wonton Soup, it had a pint of veggies, but not too heavy. I enjoyed the daring beef strings and the wontons itself. We originally wanted the PoPo Platter as our appetizer (Wings, Wontons, Eggrolls, Beef Stick with pineapples and cherries) but Ken recommended the "Family Dinner," which actually already included the PoPo Platter, the soups, an entree of chicken, beef or pork; with steamed or white rice! I stuck with Sesame Chicken while the other party selected Shrimp with Garlic. Mine had plenty of lettuce and lots of sweet chicken that actually tasted overall like pineapple instead of sesame. The Shrimp with Garlic was actually really good! The PoPo Platter was not so impressive. The beef stock tasted foul and I ended up not continuing with it. I didn't want to go further with the ribs, but the wontons were delicious, the fried shrimp was crunchy and the egg rolls were not greasy. The restaurant did not acquire a dessert menu, which left us feeling left out. That ended a good night. Food? Not so impressive . Service? Well Ken has a charm like no other and he will have me as a returning diner. read more

We use to frequent this restauant 3 to 5 times a month when we lived nearby. Now we moved back to the hood and here I am. One thing I did notice was this place was updated. It was clean, tacky lights and salt water fish tank to admire while waiting for your food. As soon as i walked in, thing that turned me off was the smell. Smell of the detergent similar to the restroom chemical. I ordered 3 dinners and large hot and sour soup. I was glad to hear the soup didnt have pork. It was "to go" and friendly lady told me will take about 10 minute. Food came out super fast.. 5 min? Brought it home to find out it was very well packaged. Very pleased. Found some almond cookies and also fortune cookies. However, food was quite bland. Any of the item with chilli pepper wasnt spicy at all. Szechun beef (shredded vegi and beef with specks of hot pepper) was so so. Tofu family style wasnt appetizing. Fried tofu seemed not so fresh. Hot and sour soup (no pork) was very sweet which I didnt like it at all. Prawns with garlic sauce was also disappointing. Overall, it wasnt spicy.... it wasnt flavorful, just plain boring. Good thing they give you lots of soy sauces. Pros: quick n clean Cons: close by so keep trying until I find something that they do well? read more

My family and I have been coming here for over 20 years! In my opinion, the best Chinese cuisine anywhere! Especially like to come in for the lunch specials. The fried rice is always tender and delicious! The entire's are phenomenal! We have come to know the owners and staff over the years. They know what we all individually like. My daughters automatically get Shirley Temple's without us having to ask. And we always enjoy looking at the amazing fish tank in the lobby. I would rate it better than six stars. Never, ever disappointed! read more

We visited this restaurant on Christmas Eve. It wasn't a place that we had planned on dining at. It just happened to be on our way home. Although we wanted to dine-in we weren't able to due to covid. So, we placed an order for take-out. Our order was made in the exact amount of time that it was promised, the staff was very professional and quite friendly. The food was absolutely great! We hope to be able to dine-in once covid restrictions are completely removed. My husband and I both enjoyed our dinner and will recommend this restaurant to our friends and family. read more

You know how Alice went into a hole and ended up in wonderland? That is what this place is like! Small and unassuming on the outside, spectacular on the inside. As soon as we cracked the door, we were shocked by the atmosphere. Soothing purple, lights, music, laughter, everything. However, it didn't stop there! Next we were greeted by Ken. A funny, welcoming, and smiling man. Ken made us feel at home before we ever made it to our seat. From there, he showed his confidence of the menu and we were rolling. First, hot & sour soup- fantastic. Pu pu platter gave us a taste of everything, and it was all great. Lastly, szechuan chicken!! Thank you for the great experience! read more

The food here is always DELICIOUS and the owner is really nice. Their lo mein and general tao's chicken is so tasty.
