Golden China Restaurant

This is an experience you should not pass on. So far this is the best Chinese restaurant we have eaten at in Salinas, CA. Limited parking. Staff is friendly and attentive. Wonton soup was flavorful with soft wonton. The chow mein noodles were soft and chewy (not for everyone) but the flavor was amazing. The fried rice did not have peas and carrots in it, as it should be. They did use green onions. The fried prawns were crunchy and non greasy but hot, same with the egg rolls. The sweet and sour pork was had hand dipped quality and cooked. The breading on the outside was not traditional like what you would find at a buffet. They seem to take pride in the food they serve and it shows. We will be going back as this is a place that is save on our phone and in our stomachs.

Great food with very tasty vegan options (including a sesame ball dessert with red bean filling), fabulous quick, pleasant service from the host Wayne & kitchen staff. Thank you so much!

I'm so impressed with this restaurant. The food and flavors are extraordinary. Highly recommend you try it everything we've tried is amazing.

Sunday around noon, place to ourselves. Ordered dinner #3 for 2. Food +price, great all around.

62 dollars for orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and 2 dry meins. Both chickens were soggy and chewy. Dry mein was also soggy and under flavored. Very disappointing for the price. Service was fine, but the food was some of the worst chinese ive had unfortunately.
