Ordered takeout many times. The best Chinese food in Greensboro. Sesame chicken and General Tso always great.

C18. Sesame Chicken Combo with Vegetable Lo Mein
Emily C.

Golden Wok is a solid choice for Chinese-American food, but the prices are a bit steeper than average for the area. I got sesame chicken, vegetable lo mein, and an egg roll. It came out to $17, which is pretty steep for takeout, but could be worth it for superb quality. Unfortunately, my meal simply was not "superb." It was good, but not much different than other local places. The sesame chicken was good, no complaints, but not something I would pay a premium price for. There are simply other places that serve the exact same thing, at a much lower price. The egg roll was very good, very large, perfectly filled, but very greasy. I would order it again. The lo mein, on the other hand, tasted flat and dull, and I actually added salt to it when I got home. With the added salt, it was delicious, but again, nothing particularly special. Whats more, I expect takeout food, particularly Chinese-American food, to come adequately salted. Umami is the name of the game, and between soy sauce and MSG, I shouldn't have to doctor my food up when I get it. When we ordered, it was pretty crowded inside, and they quoted us 17 minutes. However, they're pretty speedy, and the food came out in around 10. All in all, I'm not upset about the experience by any stretch, but this won't be replacing my regular place.

Great Chicken Wings
Fred B.

This is one of the best Chinese American spots I've ever been to - Greensboro is very lucky to have them, along with Golden Dragon, which has been serving great take out since the 60's - started by Der Hong Hanson, a native of China and a graduate of Greensboro Senior High. But to this restaurant - begun in 1998 and still in control of the same family. It is primarily take out, though inside seating is available. This place gets busy and it is best to call in your order, park a bit away, and plunge in. I have ordered from here often, probably 25 times or more. In fact, we would plan out our Super Bowl meal, and we would go Chinese American much more often than wings. We would order certain items from here, certain from Golden Dragon ( Chicken Wings, Pepper Steak, and Pork Fried Rice) and some from China Express (Black Pepper Chicken) Here we would go with Shrimp Egg Rolls, Pork Fried Rice, and Vegetable Lo Mein. Not a single dish would disappoint. I ordered those three plus Crispy Scallion Chicken, and that knocked it out of the park again. Their Crispy Scallion is the very best I've had.

Been coming to get Chinese takeout here for as long as I can remember. The guys running it has a a great process going and orders come out fast, ready, and correct. The nicest guys too and make sure you get what you want/need. Food has stayed good throughout the years and glad nothings really changed. Recommend.

Orange chicken
Jasmine B.

Anytime I'm on this side of town I have to go Golden wok! The sesame chicken is my absolute favorite! It's crunchy and sweet. The flavor never misses and the packaging stays hot until I get home. I also tried the orange chicken and the general tso. The general tso on my go to from here now. Still crunchy how I like and it's spicy and sweet. The service is always pleasant. The store is small and always clean. Usually there is always a line so it's best to order ahead if possible. Overall, this place is my favorite!

General tso's chicken with an egg roll
Mark D.

Still as good as advertised. Always a solid option in the area for quick Chinese food. There's always a crowd in here, and rightfully so. I can usually get here around lunch time so get the special. Nice size portion that I always have leftovers to eat later. Prices are very reasonable. You have to get an order of the crab rations. Perfect compliment to your meal.

Best chinese in the Triad!

This a visit based on a recent yelp review of Golden Wok. I order the Chow Mein to see what the complaint was. The poster had complained about it coming over rice. After trying the dish I understand the confusion. I had to do some research but yes, on the east coast it is not unheard of to have chow mein over rice. When the order was taken I was asked if I would like that with noodles. But wanted it as the poster had received. At first glance, a very white meal. Chicken, bok choy, onions celery and snow peas. The sauce was plenty for the dish and it was served with white rice. It was as described. A good dish. I personally would have liked it over the noodles as well but this is what I ordered. I got an egg roll (as always). Hand made egg rolls are hard to pass up. Of course I got the dumpling sauce to go with it. Great service and good as always.

Sesame Tofu with Vegetable Fried Rice
Daniele V.

This place is amazing! I go here quite often and the guy at the counter already knows my order lol. The food is always fresh and delicious! I always get the sesame tofu with the vegetable fried rice which isnt on the menu, but if you ask for it they'll know exactly what you're talking about! As a vegan this is super convenient for me! They also always play great music :)

I moved states 3 months ago (if you're wondering where your biweekly regular went) and every time I want Chineese food I get so sad I can't go down the street to golden wok. Craving the egg rolls and general tso chicken

Fantastic huge egg rolls
Leslie B.

This is my go to for the absolute best Asian food in Greensboro. Even when I just want a little bite this place is perfect. Stopped in today after Christmas shopping and had an egg roll and some amazing wonton soup. The best in town. Don't just take my word. Try them.

House fried rice with no chicken, extra pork and additional eggs (extra charge)...delicious.

Is chow fun available?

Sorry. Only chow may fun is available.

Do they have sesame tofu? I could swear we got some here years ago but I don't see it on the menu unless I'm just missing it?

Sophia, yeah. You can get almost any regular dish but with tofu you just have to ask since it's not listed on the menu. I get General Tso's Tofu all the time. SO GOOD.

Stopped in today for a late lunch. First impression: This isn't your typical Chinese food joint. I…read morewas impressed by the visuals. Plus it was super clean. Not sure how old the interior photos are on their Yelp reviews but looks better in person. Dude running the place was waiting on tables, answering the phones, taking orders at the front, bossing people around in the back and bringing the food out of the kitchen and serving it HOT! He was a one man show today and killing it! Plus he was so nice. About the food. I ordered an Eggroll and Curry Chicken with fried rice. The eggroll was not the best I've had but it was good. It tasted fresh and no signs of the red pork that you sometimes get (thumbs up).The Curry Chicken sauce was really good. The chicken was nice and tender, the vegetables were fresh and crisp. My only complaint would be to not serve green peppers with the yellow curry sauce. It's my own personal preference because peppers give me heartburn. I will go back for sure to try some other dishes and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for relaxing ambiance and fresh, delicious Chinese cuisine.

We didn't order them this time, but they're definitely on the list for a future visit. Everything we did get was packed with flavor. The crab rangoons and pork dumplings arrived hot and fresh, and the Dan Dan noodles, orange chicken, chicken chow fun, and garlic beef were all very tasty. One of the biggest positives here is consistency of flavor, something that's been surprisingly hard to find with a lot of Chinese takeout spots we've tried in the area. The only real miss for us is that egg foo young isn't on the menu, which my wife loves and always hopes to find. That aside, this is a super solid takeout option for flavorful, authentic, and fresh Chinese food.

In all the years we have been getting takeout, never had an issue with the accuracy of our orders. They have nice sized crispy breaded wings. Their fried wontons and crab rangoons are also good picks. I chuck them in the air fryer because the sweaty containers do make them a bit flat by the time you make it home. Egg rolls are what you expect. Hunan chicken is not very spicy but has a good flavor. Lo meins are good, too. Food cost are up everywhere. 2 combo plates, small order of wings, and wontons set me back $42. The extra $4.00 upcharge on the combo for house lo mein versus chicken was unexpected (dinner combo is already $10.75) but I didn't ask and the girl answering the phone didn't offer so that's on me. Lesson learned. Next time, I will stick with the chicken. If you liked Mr. Wonton back in the 90's you will like them, too. Similar cooking style and portions.

I'll be honest--I avoided China Cafe for a while because of the older Yelp reviews. But last night…read moreI needed something quick, ordered on DoorDash, and I'm really glad I gave them a chance. Everything I ordered was actually solid. The lo mein? Chef's kiss. The noodles were cooked perfectly, nice and saucy, and they even offered it spicy--which I've never been offered before. The meat was tender and well-seasoned. Personally, I wouldn't mind a little more cabbage in it, but that's just preference. The fried chicken wings really surprised me. Usually I end up throwing wings in the air fryer to crisp them up more--but not these. They were already crispy, fresh, and flavorful straight out the container. Now let me talk about the sweet and sour chicken... I've NEVER been a fan. I always thought it looked too breaded and soggy, so I avoided it for years. When I opened my order and realized that's what I got, I was low-key annoyed but decided to try it anyway. And wow--that ended up being my favorite item. The sauce was perfect, and once I dipped it myself, it completely changed my mind about sweet and sour chicken. The soup was also really good--super flavorful with that rich broth and those sesame oil "gold spots" on top (you know it's good when you see that). The only thing I wasn't big on was the plain fried rice--but that's more of a personal preference since I usually don't go for plain fried rice anyway. Next time I'll try the house fried rice. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised. This was a great experience, especially for a last-minute order. I'll definitely be ordering again--and next time I'll come back with pictures because this was a spur-of-the-moment decision. China Cafe, you proved me wrong
