The staff and owners here are very friendly and accommodate the needs of their guests. Fresh, hot, homemade food with attention to detail! Could not have a better and more enjoyable experience! That's why I've been going since they opened and will continue to patronize this family owned business. They treat you like family! And they bring us delectable Dong Phuong king cakes during Carnival season which they take the time to pick up fresh! Thank you Pho Cong from my family to yours! Bravo! May your business have a lifelong legacy with many blessings.

And let me tell you guys, even if they didn't have delicious yummys on the menu, the folks here are just the best. I always leave feeling a little more loved, no matter when I go, or what's happening - that's some real good, feel good love right there. Come in and say hi and get yourself a pork-pork, you won't regret it.

Don't let the somewhat mundane strip mall location fool you, as there are some very good things going on here! We shared the fried calamari and crispy pork dumpling appetizers, while she followed with hot and sour soup and I, with the tasty Japanese pepper beef. All were very good, but the star may have been the dumplings, which were some of the best I've ever had. Service was friendly and efficient and prices were extremely competitive. If you like contemporary Asian fusion, you should really try Non La in Covington.

It's been quite a while since I've been in here, but my friends all tell me I gotta come back...and…read morethe one I had dinner with tonight insisted on it! My buddy and his wife asked me out to dine - I had my heart set on some pho, but when I got here, I had a hankering for vermicelli. I like mine with egg roll AND grilled pork - if you haven't done it, do it - for real. The presentation was different from what I was used to - a flatter, wider bowl, the pork thin sliced, almost julienned, but everything was fresh - crunchy where it was supposed to be, hot and charred/fried when needed, and it really hit the spot. Fish sauce and a generous serving of sriracha, and I was home. Steve's wife got the dumplings, and he had a giant plate of something or other with soup, but he also polished off some of Alicia's food while we were there. I remember this dude from college - I was the fat kid, but I sure couldn't hang with this dude's stomach! Our server was so super awesome and cute, but I forgot to get her name. She couldn't say Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, but neither could I, so there. Very attentive, got our food out hot and delicious, and was a wonderful host. If you're hankering for some Vietnamese or Chinese food, but can't decide - here's your sign! Seriously, though - excellent food, terrific service, amazing company, and a full belly made for the perfect night. Can't wait to see where you pick next, my friend!

Our waitress was fantastic--she offered us water, gave us thoughtful recommendations, and really seemed to care about making sure we enjoyed our meal. The food I ordered ended up being amazing--fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the best dishes I've had in a while. But what really set this visit apart was the owner. Not only did he come out to greet us, but when we accidentally spilled a drink (embarrassingly), he made a light-hearted joke, turned the moment into a laugh, and insisted on cleaning it up himself even though we tried to take care of it. To top it all off, he offered us 10% off the next time we come in. I even joked that I'd buy him lunch for all the trouble, and he just laughed and said, "No--lunch will be on us next time!" You really don't get that kind of hospitality everywhere. Amazing people, incredible food, and a genuinely memorable night. North Empress has definitely earned a return visit!

The location is…read moreattractive, but although neat and tidy, interior decor and ambiance is quite dark and somewhat dated. A refresh needed, perhaps? Service was friendly, efficient, and extremely personable. My wife and I had the sweet and sour chicken snd garlic chicken, respectively.

All in all, Golden China is a good spot for traditional Chinese-American food.

Total for everything was $80. Should have just gone to Trey Yuen. Save your money. Whoever writes the other reviews doesn't know good Chinese food.
