Gold Lion Chinese Restaurant

Has quickly become my favorite Chinese restaurant in town. Roast pork fried rice is incredibly good to the point that I have to get it every time. Spicy dishes are genuinely spicy, and if you're like me where you need that extra heat, they'll happily make it extra spicy. Portions are generous, with a nice menu selection, I find myself trying a new dish every time. Staff has always been kind and courteous to me. Give it a try, they won't disappoint!

My family and I have eaten Gold Lion for years. Food is always consistent, good size portions, reasonably priced, and always ready in less than 15 minutes. They have great lunch specials. We love the Lo Mein and General Tso’s. They have the best Hot and Sour Soup. If you are looking for a good Chinese restaurant this is it.

The pricing for lunch was quite reasonable; however, I found the sesame chicken to be somewhat dry, and the rice had the distinct flavor of being prepared in a rice cooker. Additionally, I noticed that the restaurant had an extension cord tied to the door, and the overall cleanliness and organization left much to be desired, with boxes and clutter present throughout the space. I would not plan to dine inside until these organizational issues are addressed. Based on the visible disarray, I am hesitant to trust the kitchen and likely will not return.

This place has the best hot and sour soup and orange chicken I've had in the area,however the Springfield chicken is most definitely NOT Springfield style cashew chicken. It's not bad cashew chicken but if you're looking for the OG Springfield style cashew chicken this isn't it.other than that is was a great meal at a great price

This might not be the biggest Chinese joint in independence, but it is one of the best. The food is amazing, the people are nice, there is sitdown areas. My favorite is the general sauce is chicken not spicy. It is delicious. One lunch plate is pretty good to divide between two people actually. The prices are great. We ate for less than $20 between us too, and that was with two meals that we could take one home! If you’d like Chinese, definitely give this place a shot before anywhere else!! Soup, egg roll Or crab Raccoon and the entrée that you pick are around eight or nine dollars and they are well worth it. The portion is very good sized. My mother and I could honestly have split one plate… Like I said, give this a shot. Let’s Get this small family owned business a lot of business coming
