    The coconut chicken is by far the best in Stillwater! You get a lot of food for a really good price!

    Amazing place, would greatly recommend as the best Asian restaurant in Stillwater. Pineapple rice is a classic staple that's always good.

    The lunch take out of curry chicken is very spot on. It is not overly spicy, but it has enough. Can not wait to try more of the offerings.

    Don't get the lo mein, flavorless. Chicken also tasted like leftovers from the day before.

    a few months back, my partner was visiting her sister at osu & made a stop at golden dragon cafe…read morebefore coming back to tulsa. i had the fried rice with tofu. i think the spice level was around 3. i wasn't familiar with this spot so i played it safe with the spice level (i LOVE spicy food) & level 3 did its job. it was super good & had so much left over, so much that i had it for the next 2-3 days. recently, i was in stillwater taking senior photos at osu & my partner's parents ended up getting our order. i got the same thing as last time except with chicken at level 5 with the spice. the fried rice was just as good as i had it the first time around when it was brought to me & the spice was subtle. it was a sunday, it's now tuesday & i STILL have plenty left (i plan on finishing it today). if you want food to hold you over, good food at that, this is your spot. with being leftovers, the flavor gets better & better each time i had it for the days. they have a lot to choose from between chinese & thai. soup, lo mein, fried rice, etc... maybe one day i'll actually sit in the establishment to enjoy the food instead of having my food compacted in a to-go container.

The restaurant is clean and the staff are wonderful and friendly. I ordered egg drop soup, 1 egg roll, Jasmine tea, and Cashew chicken. There was something seriously wrong with the soup. It was NOT good and the crispy noodles were very bitter. Like they haven't changed their oil in a month. Gross I spoke with possibly the owner and he said he doesn't eat the soup. He didn't sound like he was going to taste it to check. The egg roll was absolutely delicious! I could have eaten 4 of them. My entree was generic and salty. Most of the menu has the same brown sauce, so don't expect the dishes to have much difference in flavor profile. All in all, my review is generous at best.

    Ever since my son started at OSU four years ago, I've passed by this restaurant many times and…read morealways wondered what it was like. I finally tried it on this trip, and it was wonderful. Delicious! The food here isn't greasy at all. You can choose your preferred spice level when ordering, and the ingredients are fresh. The dishes are served on trays reminiscent of those used in traditional Chinese tea ceremonies. The side of rice is cooked on the firmer side, but once you mix it with the sauce, the texture becomes perfect. The prices are student‑friendly, and the portions are just right. I can't believe such a great restaurant is located right next to the OSU campus. It's been a week since I ate there, and I'm already itching to go back. I think the restaurant could be even nicer if the interior were updated with a slightly more modern touch.

    I spent six years living in China, so I feel like I have at least a halfway decent sense of what…read moreChinese food should taste like. I know that Kung Pao Chicken is the go-to safe bet on the menu, kind of like the chef's choice of Chinese food. But man, this one just didn't land. I asked for a 4 out of 5 on spice, I wanted something with some heat, but not like a dare. What I got had all the firepower of a bell pepper. Maybe someone from rural Wisconsin might've found it adventurous, but for anyone who's had the real thing, this was at the same level of bbq sauce. One of the things I genuinely enjoy about going to Chinese restaurants is keeping up my Mandarin, having a quick chat with the staff, maybe hearing a few regional accents. No dice here. The guy up front was a white dude with no idea what zhōngguó cài even is, and the kitchen staff were speaking Spanish the whole time. Which, fine, but maybe don't brand yourself like you're bringing authentic Sichuan to town when the closest you get is a laminated picture of a dragon and some questionable chicken. Food was edible. Service was fine. Place was quiet. But the whole thing felt like the ghost of a Panda Express trying to pass as something more serious. I might give it one more shot in the future just to be fair, but for now, this was a miss.

    I was prepared to love this restaurant, but I was disappointed. To be fair, they just opened a…read morecouple of days ago and we got there at the tail end of their rush hour. They had a sign up welcoming customers to their soft opening and asking for constructive criticism. The biggest disappointment was the calamari. It tasted like frozen onion rings. The thick batter was identical to the batter of frozen onion rings. When I bit into the first one, the calamari came out, revealing what a tiny sliver of calamari was inside the thick breading. I would definitely recommend choosing a different appetizer. I like that they have lunch specials which include eggroll, choice of rice, and choice of soup. Dan and I both got Pad Thai with shrimp, egg drop soup, and fried rice. Our grandson got lo Mein with beef, won ton soup, and fried rice. He liked his soup and entree. The egg rolls were a little greasy and we didn't get a sauce for them. We did not like the fried rice. It was dry and had an unpleasant flavor. I couldn't tell what spice I was tasting, but it seemed to belong in an Indian restaurant instead of an Asian restaurant. The dry and underdone texture added to the unpleasantness. Dan and I both love Pad Thai, but we didn't enjoy this. We ordered it around 2:00. It might have been fresher earlier. The sauce seemed too thick and a little sweet. As the sign said, this was a soft opening. I will try them again after they've been open awhile.
