This is one of the best Chinese food places in the area! I've never had a bad dish from here and would recommend this place to anyone who is nearby. There have been times where I've driven 30 minutes just for this place. I usually get the General Tso Chicken dish, but all the other food is good, too. The employees are all very nice and accommodating as well! They always have a happy tone when you call for an order and ask if you need anything when you pick up an order.
Not an eat-in place unless you really need to. There are a few tables. But it's mostly a take out type of eatery. It's your cookie cutter, just what you would expect Chinese takeout. You have all the predictable combo options and not so healthy but tasty eats. Pork, chicken, and shrimp. My latest takeout was a bit disappointing. The beef sticks were tough and the chicken wings were over fried. Really not very appealing. The fried rice was good though. Not too bland. If you like this sort of fast food all meat processed food . Bon appetit!!!
Uncle Roger would approve. Hadn't had Chinese in over a year, so I felt like it was time to break that combo and order some take out from the Golden Bird, as it is a location I pass by all the time on the way home. Ordered over the phone, going with the special of the week, Pineapple Chicken with Egg Fried Rice, a Vegetable Egg Roll, and some Crab Rangoon. All together coming to a little over $31 before tip. I feel like this was a pretty fair price, given the heft of the chicken dish alone. Order only needed 15 minutes to be done, though I was held up by traffic, and yet it was still nice and warm by the time I got everything home and set out. The crab rangoon, as I expected, was delicious. Never had bad crab rangoon before, kind of hard to mess up, but I guess you can get shorted on t
A severe allergy to anything with shellfish was discussed when we called. We were then told for delivery we could only order online. We choose carefully. Imagine our surprise when the steamed Buddha,s Delight came embedded in a thick brown sauce. And to top it all off , the pork spring roll ordered w/another’s combo order was a shrimp eggroll, and the veggie one ordered was THE SAME! The manager could not (system wouldn’t let her— ha) give a refund for over half the food that will be discarded. She told us we should order again online, and THEN call to ensure order is filled correctly! What??? The one who goes into anaphylactic shock when eating shellfish had already eaten a piece of broccoli from the supposed Buddha's Delight, when informed by manager it was OYSTER sauce. Then were to
Pros: • Excellent General Tso’s tofu - perfect for vegetarians/vegans craving classic Chinese flavors • Firm tofu, generous portion, and very flavorful • Comes with white rice and broccoli - filling and well balanced • Tastes just like traditional General Tso’s or sesame chicken, just with tofu • One of the better vegetarian/vegan-friendly Chinese options in this area • Fast service - food ready in about 15 minutes • Friendly staff • Clean space if you choose to eat in Things to know: • Limited vegan options overall - this is the main standout dish • Mostly a takeout spot with limited seating Overall: • I order from here regularly and would absolutely recommend it • Great go-to for quick, tasty Chinese food with solid vegetarian options
