We've had amazing Chinese food in San Francisco Chinatown when we lived there during our post graduate studies, and have to say this place measures up! Best we've had yet in the Triad area by a long shot. First off, the online ordering process is super easy, and the estimated time for pick up was spot on. Highly recommend ordering online beforehand. The place was slammed, packed in like sardines on a Saturday evening. Everyone waiting for orders, and even if you don't order prior, the wait would still be worth it. This place was a well oiled machine, everyone knowing exactly what to do and how to pump out stellar authentic Chinese food quickly and efficiently. Flavorful dishes, authentic spices and sauces, juicy meat, perfectly cooked noodles and rice...you name it, this place does it right. Crispy scallion chicken is the bomb! Each and every other dish we had was top notch, including the pork egg foo young, chicken lo mein, house special fried rice (chicken pork and shrimp). And can't leave out the perfectly fried pork egg rolls...taste overload. Can't wait to come back and try more of this amazing and truly authentic Chinese joint. read more

Not even a foot of snow can stop me from getting to this place. When I tell you there's 30 people waiting inside for food, both phones ringing, and regardless of the weather... That kitchen is packed with people cooking up the absolute best Chinese food and takeout in the Triad. It doesn't get better than this folks. This is currently, and always has been, the best spot to get your fix. Even my family members from NY who have access to amazing Chinese takeout on every corner agree. Everything is delicious, but make sure you get enough of their scratch made pork egg rolls to have one with you meal, and one for the air fryer to go with your leftovers. They are addicting. Try the crispy scallion chicken, along with your favorites. Golden Wok forever! read more

Golden Wok - Chinese Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

The top Chinese joint in the triad! Not even close. I always do the rice test. This place does not mess up rice. I know it's silly but when you eat enough asian food, you start realizing the way a place treats their rice influences the way they cook everything else. Must try: 1) Beef with broccoli (The best because it's actual cuts of steak. Not some cheap shaved steak pucks) 2) Scallion chicken (Get the grill chicken, not the crispy chicken although I'm sure the crispy is good, I just prefer the regular chicken. The flavor is rich and if you are an onion lover as myself, this dish is absolute perfection) 3) Lemon chicken (Breaded chicken filets but the lemon sauce is insanely delicious. I save it and use it for other dishes throughout the week. Literally the lemon sauce is what makes it!) Get their steamed rice or their house special fried rice. Personally the regular fried rice is meh. Even though they stay busy. They are very quick to getting your food to you in a timely manner every time with a smile! I'll have pictures next time. I can't find them on my phone at the moment read more

Golden Wok - Chinese Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

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. read more

Golden Wok - C18. Sesame Chicken Combo with Vegetable Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This place is really really delicious .. steamed dumplings were perfect..thin dough..filling was deliciousness , no grizzle like some other places, and the sauce wasn't overpowering..just enhanced them enough with flavor ..( I have my new favorite..) The meal..Szechuan beef.. (and not stingy with it either..) was phenomenal..tender meat with veggies with just enough crisp and spices to bring heat...This was my first time here but I'm definitely happy with the food and will return to try other dishes.. Nice people too..!! read more

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. read more

It was great when I ordered it was ready 10 minutes earlier. And I got the steam dumplings and they were awesome. I really thought they were so good and delicious. Nice flavor too and I also got the wonton soup. I love wonton soup and this was the best I have ever had. Thank you. read more

I ordered Happy Family--really good. Enough food for 4 people. Delicious. Prompt service--I called ahead and always order out.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Being impressed with reviews, my husband brought home two lunches today from Golden Wok: Sesame Chicken and Crispy Scallion Chicken. Both lunches were impressively large, however the pieces were so "crispy," our stainless steel forks had trouble piercing them. My husband complained that his Crispy Scallion Chicken was inedibly tough and soon gave up on the whole thing. After cutting up several pieces of my Sesame Chicken, I finally found literally two large pieces that had tiny scatterings of actual chicken under the almost impenetrable coating. The rest was Crispy Sesame Chicken Fat in a sauce. On the plus side, both our sauces were okay. We are very puzzled about how good the reviews are on Yelp, yet our lunches were literally inedible. read more

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 :) read more

Golden Wok - Sesame Tofu with Vegetable Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

We got dinner here last night, after reading all of the reviews and we were less than impressed. For one thing - the online ordering prices were significantly higher than if I would have called in or eaten there. My online price was $11 higher than what was on the store receipt. There's NO mention of the price differences online, and I only realized once they handed me my receipt and it was 46 versus 57. This seems very deceptive to me. The sesame chicken was bland, and we only received one container of rice for all of our meals to share. We ordered chicken chow main, and instead received an order of wet, unseasoned cabbage and plain chicken with fried noodles on the side. We were very disappointed especially considering all the positive reviews. We will not be returning for subpar food, and deceptive pricing practices. read more

Always love their GF broccoli and chicken! We split the small for lunch, and are quite satisfied.

For the time I've been in Greensboro in the early 2000s until now, 20+ years, this restaurant has *never* failed on quality, quantity and service. Not once. No one has better Chinese food in the surrounding area. Eddie and Jon still remember me, even though we moved further away and it's much harder to get by as much as we would wish to. From working down the walkway at a store and coming in for lunch, to seeing me get married and my wife and I come in for dinner, adding new orders for our children that, again, even the kids won't pick another place to go. Got the General Tso's extra spicy with Pork Fried Rice and extra onion. Delivered at 100% perfection as ordered. Spicy, fresh and flavorful. My son got the Sesame Chicken with Shrimp Fried Rice. He ate more out of his combo than I've ever seen him eat anywhere else and wants more once he's no longer stuffed. Our toddler begged and begged for more of the pork fried rice, again eating more than she normally does. No one compares to them. They just simply don't. read more

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. read more

Golden Wok - Fantastic huge egg rolls - Chinese Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This is my go to place for takeout Chinese Food! The food is great, and the service is awesome!

The food is fantastic. I had house fried rice without chicken but with extra pork and additional eggs (extra charge). It was delicious and there the number of shrimp was generous. The pork egg roll was tasty, too, and they're larger than the average pork egg rolls at other restaurants, and fresher tasting. I took away one star because they offer an inferior "soy sauce" in those ugly little clear packets. I tried to tell the guy at the cashier and he had no clue. It's not even soy sauce...it's made of water, corn syrup and caramel color! There probably isn't a soybean within miles of the manufacturing plant where they make these awful things. So the message from Golden Wok is, "Here's your delicious food. Now enjoy it by drizzling it with water and corn syrup." They need to get some Kikkoman packets in there. For that reason, I'll always order takeout OR bring my own SOY sauce with me. read more

From my very 1st visit to Golden Wok several years ago, owners Eddie & John remembered my name & order preference from that visit. Which has in turn led to MANY other visits since. My favorite Chinese in the area to date! Also my favorite Kung Pao Chicken! If you haven't tried Golden Wok yet, you are definitely missing out! Thanks guys for the years of great food and even better service! You ROCK the Wok! read more

This place has made all the difference for me here in NC. There isnt any negatives about the place. The food is great , service is great they speak english ! Call ahead theres always a wait time its great food on a budget what can you expect !! Just try them read more

Strip mall restaurant in a small space, with several eat-in tables. Many take out customers evident on multiple visits. The food here is excellent. Delicious lemon chicken, fantastic Chow May Fun curried noodle dish with chicken, shrimp, roasted pork. The Chinese cuisine here is as tasty as you will find anywhere. read more

This place has been a favorite for Chinese food in this area as long as I've been in Greensboro, since 1994. Family run and they will roll out the red carpet for you for sure. They will all remember your order, your name and how you like your food prepared, if any special requests. The food is always fresh and flavorful. The prices are very reasonable for what to get. My fave is the diced chicken and shrimp with broccoli and the general Tso's chicken. Just come in and see John or Eddie at the front and their hospitality and food will make you want to come back. The restaurant is clean and simple. Seating is good for a quick dinner or lunch. It can get quite busy so I prefer carry-out Check the hours as they do try and have a life outside the restaurant Treat yourself! read more

Everything about Golden Wok was GREAT. The cleanliness and friendly greeting when you walk in the door. The healthfulness in ordering what you want. The food was EXCEPTIONAL!! The conversation was lively, and the noise level was no louder than to be expected -- well actually a little quieter. I will give this place three more stars if it was a possibility. Sorry there's no picture but the food was too good not to dig in.... read more

Amazing sweet and sour chicken. Made 45 minutes before I ate and it was still hot and fresh.

My favorite place for egg drop soup. Now I finally purchased a meal - Crispy Scallion Chicken. It is delicious!!! I purchased it for dinner and there is plenty left for lunch and/or dinner tonight. It's the best Chinese food I had in 35yrs!!!!! I say try it if you are in the fence. The best in Gbo & Raleigh ! !!!!! The staff is awesome as well...... read more

Golden Wok - General Tso Chicken combo - Chinese Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I was in the plaza doing some shopping and decided to grab something in before calling it a night. As I departed from Ross, Golden Wok caught my eye so I decided to hear over! Before walking in, you could see the cleanliness of the restaurant from the outside. It's super bright with vibrant colors which adds to the curb appeal and draws you in. Upon arriving at the county I was immediately greeted and presented with a menu. As I figured out what I wanted, the aromas of fresh garlic and the sounds of rice being fried captured my attention and made me even more hungry. LoL!!! Deciding on the General Tso Chicken combo and substituting the Vegetable Fried Rice for Pork Fried Rice, I placed my order and took a seat, paid, and took a seat. As I was waiting for my food, I could tell it was going to be a good dish. People were in and out picking up their orders and you could tell by how they interacted with the cashier that they were repeat customers. This is always a good sign. Upon receiving my food I was once again captured by the aroma. This time it was the aromas of General Tso Chicken and a fresh out of the grease Pork Egg Roll!! Oh yeah... Let's Eat!!! Upon opening my tray the visual alone let me know this was going to be a good eat. LoL. The General Tso Chicken was perfectly made. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The sauce has a perfect level of spice with a hint of sweet. I'm talking goooooooddddddddd. Truly a 10 out of 10. The Pork Fried Rice wasn't dry, had the perfect golden fried color and tender meaty chunks of pork. The Pork Egg Roll was packed full of fresh fixings and fried to golden egg roll perfection. I truly enjoyed my Golden Wok experience. If you're in the area and looking for something with great quality, great flavors, and filling... You must stop in. read more

Golden Wok is the only Chinese take out place where they're always busy, and that shows how consistently good the food is! I usually order on weekdays and grab their lunch special since it's really affordable and the wait wasn't too long, about 10-15mins. Their lunch special runs from 11-3pm Monday-Fridays and everything is under $10. Such a great deal! I ordered the general tso's chicken since I was craving something spicy. Oddly, it tasted like sesame chicken since it was on the sweeter side and I couldn't find any spice since it was missing the dry chili peppers. Nevertheless, I still ate the rest because it was still very good. My order was still fresh; Chicken had a nice slight crunch and the fried rice was great. read more

Hands down THE BEST Chinese food I have EVER had. Their steamed dumplings melt in your mouth. The beef with snow peas so flavorful and fresh... crunchy veggies. Egg rolls perfectly cooked. Not dripping in grease like some places. Crab Rangoon on point!!! Delicious!! read more

It's good. My first try with them last night I'd probably rare 3 stars but I'm granting that there would be a bit of a decline in quality from traveling a half hour home from work and sitting a bit. Good flavor, but I wouldn't say they're as good as Jade Garden, so that still has my lead. Solid though if you live closer by. Food was done quickly, even despite being dinner rush on a Friday. Food is packed in tin foil containers, so I'm not sure what that other reviewer is talking about with not being wasteful. Good egg rolls. Wish they still did shrimp toast and had chow fun with the thick noodles. Hard to find those around here. I'd get them again if I was gonna have locally, but otherwise I wouldn't call it my go-to spot. read more

Very busy with our takeout order being overloaded when paying until I went back up and asked where our order was after about 20 minutes which then they found on the takeout cart. No apologies, but the food was good and egg rolls were so-so and possibly would've been better warmer! read more

I've had the food before and it's good overall, but the recent service experience was so poor I had to review. I ordered online in advance through yelp. Arrived 20 min later and it wasn't ready. It was crowded and I was fine waiting. I gave my full name and they continued to call names. I never left the establishment. 45 minutes in my husband goes back up and the bag was just sitting off to the side. I wasn't called. I had a neon shirt on and there was no communication. When she gave over the bag she just stared. Not a great experience. read more

The quality of the food is alright, seems clean, but if you're expecting to get your food on time you'll bee waiting! Both times I've been here they told me 15 mins. Both times I waited 45 mins to an hour. All I ordered was wings & rice. Second time I called it in, came in the store after waiting 20 mins, then waited another 35 mins b/c they never called my name out or put my food on the black cart where it should have been. Get outside & my food is barely warm. read more

I realize it's been quite a long time since I updated my review so here goes (EDIT: and I am not sure why but my original review is gone -- so here is a long overdue one!) Golden Wok is my go-to for Chinese in Greensboro and beyond. It is NY Style single page menu with options for everyone. Even if you don't see it on the menu, just ask - Eddie & John will take care of your dietary needs. You don't go here for the Formica seating and linoleum floors - but rather for the food - it's plentiful, fresh, and more than filling! Do not hesitate to order. Be sure to place your Christmas day order early if you are planning to make Golden Wok part of your holiday dining options! read more

Best tasting Chinese food around. The food is fresh, crispy, and cooked to perfection. I don't mind driving 20+ minutes to eat here.

Had the best beef and broccoli I've ever had. The pan fried dumplings were also so delicious!
