Golden China Chinese Restaurant

Dropped in on Sunday for a first-time lunch at Golden China in Covington. The location is attractive, 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. Both were quite good, although accompanying egg rolls were a little overdone. Egg drop soup and sweet and sour soup were both quite good. All in all, Golden China is a good spot for traditional Chinese-American food.

Great food! In Covington on business and stopped in for lunch! Probably the best quality of food I have had at a Chinese restaurant!

We got takeout from here( because our normal go to down the road was closed) and it was SO MUCH BETTER...Our new favorite Chinese place...Thanks Golden China:)

Let me begin with you NEVER put fried food directly into a Styrofoam container. All that does is melt carcinogenic plastics onto the food. So much of the order was not eaten, period!Now that said, NOTHING had flavor. Nothing! We normally do not use soy sauce or aminos on our Chinese food. All but the Sweet and Sour chicken we all drowned with soy sauce to get some semblance of flavor. HORRIBLE food. Will make the trip back to Slidell and get real food that is edible and cheaper as well.We had:Egg Fried Rice, nothing but egg that looked like ground meat it was so ground up, RAW onion and had no taste. Looked like caramel coloring was added to sort of make it look browned.Chicken Lo Mein, overcooked noodles, and flavorless sauce. RAW white onion I think this one had 2 pea pods in it.Crawfish Lo Mein, this must have flavor, right? Nope. Again mushy noodles, RAW white onion and tada ONE pea pod.Sweet and Sour Chicken, grandchild liked it, didn't want the RAW onion and bell pepper thrown on top and I really again must say, I bet the out of fryer chicken was thrown in a Styrofoam container BEFORE the sauce was poured over it...grand never said.Fried dumplings , sauce was brown vinegar with a bit of soy sauce added.Egg rolls, again fried and put into a Styrofoam container Fried chicken wings, thrown into a Styrofoam container as well. Wings, egg rolls, not eaten due to melted plastic in food.Bottome line after this lengthy review...NEVER AGAIN!

Best hot and sour soup in forever! Mandarin chicken was excellent. Best Chinese on the Northshore by far. Shrimp in lobster sauce is great too

First, I wanna say thank you, Amy, the service was impeccable...it's like you we're reading my mind. Thank you so much for serving up a great meal!We ordered the kid's chicken and fries for the little dudes and, of course, I had to try the chicken. It was delicious! Perfectly fried and the batter was flaky and delicious. The little dudes rarely eat all of the chicken on their plates, but they were fighting over the last bite tonight. Or was that me? Whatever, it was good stuff.The appetizer sampler came out hot, fresh, and piled high. I tore through my chicken wing first and would go back just for an order of these babies. The Cho Cho, Crab Rangoon, and Temoura Shrimp were all pretty standard, but it is definitely a high standard. The egg rolls, too, were done well and were hot and crispy. The sauce is sweet and tangy, but I like mine spicy, so I kicked it up with some mustard. I would have really enjoyed some chili oil in it, though. Still, it was good and went fast!We ordered the Mongolian Beef entree. It comes with either white rice or combination fried rice; we got the fried rice. This was the only part of the meal I didn't care for. There wasn't much flavor and the rice was overcooked. Of course, it was the last half hour of the day, so I imagine they probably do a pretty good job most of the time, but most of the rice was left in the bowl when we were done. The Mongolian Beef, though, what a knock out! Fresh and crunchy vegetables, perfectly cooked strips of beef, with a sauce that was just spicy enough to make the Petunia and me smile big big. A dash of soy sauce and we were off and chomping. I wish there had been more beef, but that isn't the chef's fault; Petunia was on a roll with her fork. To be fair, we worked in the yard all day and this was our first meal, but I am writing this with a watering mouth thinking about that dish and wishing I had some more beef!First time here, but we will definitely be back; good food and great service are hallmarks of a good restaurant, and these guys are really good.

RUDE RUDE RUDE They make you sit outside and wait for your food which is fine but when I called to let her know I was here she yelled at me not to call and that she knew I was here! I was outside with 4 other people so that seems suspicious that she would know my order when I don't normally come here. Then from other customers standing there I was told don't call because she gets mad, don't knock (the door is locked) because she gets mad, and don't question her because she gets mad. WILL NOT BE BACK I'm sure I can get food and hospitality somewhere else.

Walked in and sat. Ordered quick, drinks came right out. Service was good all the way through the meal. The restaurant felt inviting everyone was friendly. Just average Chinese food quality, portions were okay.

Usually get our order to go but the food is always very good and the staff is friendly.

Best egg drop soup anywhere and the only Chinese place that has beef and snow peas. Been going for years and still love it
