I decided to check this place out because I saw the high rating it got on multiple sites. I am always down to try a new Chinese food spot. It is one of those things where one place might have great fried rice, one has great egg rolls, and another has great lo mein. Overall the food was good as I went with the General Tsos combo that comes with regular fried rice but for a small upcharge if you want to change the rice to pork or shrimp. To me it is still unusual as I thought ham fried rice was just a normal thing that comes with a dinner combo along with an egg roll. Not anymore. I ordered an eggroll (2 per order) to go with the meal along with a teriyaki stick. The teriyaki stick (you get 2 per order) was pretty good and not dried out to the point where it could pass for jerky. The chicken in the dinner was good and not overly breaded. It was supposedly spicy but trust me anyone could handle this spice. Good spot to quench your hankering for some American Chinese food. Parking can be a bit iffy with a few spaces in the front on the street shared with other restaurants but the same holds true for the spaces behind the building.

Solid Chinese carry-out spot. After spending an hour looking at seemingly every Chinese restaurant in Norfolk, mostly comparing pictures of the Crab Rangoons ("Cheese Wontons" here) and fried rice, I landed on this along with the help of some recommendations from our neighborhood Facebook page. We ordered carry out, which around 5 on a Saturday evening was ready in about 20 minutes. Our order consisted of "Cheese Wontons" (the menu does list crab, and the overall filling was pretty run of the mill for a local rangoon, maybe slightly less sweet which we like, but the wonton itself was so bubbly and crispy and delicious!), Mushu Pork, and a General Tso's combination plate with shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. The General Tso's had good flavor with a solid spice to it, and the fried rice and egg roll were satisfactory. The Mushu Pork was good as well!When I'm looking for Chinese carry out or delivery, I don't have extreme expectations. Ideally I'd just like edible, flavorful food at a reasonable price and this absolutely hit the mark! So many places seem to have continued to raise prices as quality suffers, and that isn't the case here. This is probably our new go to.I forgot to take a picture of anything but the "Cheese Wontons" but that's mostly what I'm looking at when picking an inexpensive Chinese restaurant anyways.

Good, quick, priced right, tasty!I needed some takeout for Friday night. I had the General Tso chicken, pork fried rice, and crab Rangoon, which they call cheese wonton.The dinner combo special also comes with an egg roll.For starters, the place is takeout only. So, know that before you get hungry. You wouldn't want to go there thinking you are sitting down to eat and be disappointed. Second, due to staff shortages, sushi is not available. The sign saying that looked pretty old. I'm guessing sushi isn't coming back.The pork fried rice was pretty good. A-/B+. Others complain it is bland, but I think they might have ordered regular fried rice instead of pork. I thought the rice was the right texture, with a little veggies, and the correct amount of pork.Egg roll was okay, not great, but not bad. A little bland, needed some salt. C+.The cheese wonton - crab Rangoon - was a solid B+. Right size, flavorful cheese. It's not crabby, but the word crab isn't in the name. There is a little imitation crab in there, but not a lot. Could maybe us a little green onion? Still, I'm glad I ordered it.The general tso was a solid A-/A. Quality chicken. No gristle or yucky pieces. Perfect flavor profile. Just a little heat. If you want it hotter, make sure you ask.The dinner combo was about 10.75 for egg roll, fried rice, and general Tso chicken. I'm a big guy with a healthy appetite, and I still didn't finish it.I'll be back ... soon!

Golden China - First View, Norfolk is the best place for Chinese food around. Don't be fooled by other Golden China's - they're not all the same.I order from here at least once every other week, and am always impressed with the quality of whatever I get. It's definitely worth trying everything on the menu.They offer Chinese, Sushi, Hibachi, Poke, Udon and Teriyaki dishes.I am a huge fan of their Singapore Chow Mei Fun- a curried pancit rice noodle dish full of chicken, beef, pork and shrimp. (Tip: if you love heat like i do, ask for them to prepare your dishes spicy, whether its indicated as spicy or not). I've tried this dish elsewhere and Golden China prepares it the best, hands down. Another fave is Sesame Shrimp (add spicy). The dish is full of HUGE fried shrimp tossed in a delicious sweet/tangy sauce. With nearly every order, we also add House Fried Rice and House LoMein which are equally as good.I could go on and on about this place...but if you want REALLY GREAT Asian food, pass by the other Chinese restaurants, even the PF Chang's, and order from here. Your best meal will be ready in 10 minutes.

They got a bug verity of Asian food and so far I've tried the Chinese donuts, shrimp toast, egg drop soup, teriyaki chicken, hibachi noodles with shrimp, hibachi chicken, Singapore mei fun(rice noodles), (hopebI didn't miss any lol)Only the shrimp toast and hibachi chicken are not my favorite, and the rest are pretty decent. The hibachi chicken looks like boiled sliced chicken and the sauce tasted weird to me. The shrimp toast was way too greasy and burnt.Back to the good stuff. The Chinese donuts is a whole new level, it's my meth. It's hot and crispy, the inside is soft and full of egg flavor. I don't like too sweet so I can dust the excessive sugar off of them and for $5 you get 10 of them. TEN OF THEM! FIVE WHOLE DOLLARS! (4.95 to be exact).The Singapore mei fun is very good too. Very flavorful and has a little kick. The portion is generous for the price (around $10 or 11).The sauce of teriyaki chicken and hibachi noodles with shrimp tasted the same to me but it was not bad. The noodles tasted like pasta but aye it's noodles lol. The ingredients are fresh and they're all $7-11 so I can't complain much.The egg drop soup has too much msg cuz it makes me thirsty everytime I had it but it tasted fine. Overall the prices are unbeatable. One meal from them is 2 meals for me. You just needa order the right foood and not the shrimp toast lol. Definitely get the Chinese donuts, watch out for that too or else you gonna gaun some pounds!

Went here for dinner, food came out very hot but smelled very poorly, the baby corn smelled like sewage in the veggie fried rice, and the sweet and sour shrimp was incredibly doughy and not good whatsoever. Highly recommend avoiding this place

A hole in the wall place squeezed in between a pizza place and a coffee cafe. Warning they don't currently have seating. Only orders to go. Two people came in to order after us. Prices are cheap: everyday $7.65 lunch combo. The chicken and green beans made to order. Very good, garlicky and tasty. The green beans were fresh, still crunchy. The chicken was tender. The sweet and sour chicken was "good," according to my husband. Nothing to rave about, just tempura and fried. The sauce had no pineapple or bell pepper. The fried rice was good, just rice sauce and onions-green and white onions. Overall, I'd go here over Panda Express. Would have been nicer to have been able to sit in the restaurant instead of the car.
