Golden China - Apache Junction

This is by far the best Chinese I’ve been able to find in the area. Sssoooo so so yummy. I’ve had the chicken fried rice, the pepper beef, and the garlic chicken so far. ALL fabulous but the garlic chicken is TO DIE FOR So glad to have found this little joint. Oh, and prices are so reasonable I think I might just go ahead and live off Chinese food from this place entirely lol. Only minor complaint would be that the egg rolls are teeny but def no biggie when the food is so amazing. Also- friendly people both times I’ve been in, and very fast service from the kitchen. Hardly takes longer than stopping at a fast food window and you get a real meal. Can’t say enough good-try them.

My server, Eric, welcomed me and told me to sit anywhere I liked. I opted for a booth, but the seat was in rough shape and left me sitting about 2 to 3 inches lower than the table, so I decided to switch to a regular table instead. The tables and chairs were made of sturdy wood with a rich dark brown finish. Eric quickly took my drink order and returned promptly with my beverage. I asked him about a few dishes on the menu, and he provided detailed explanations. I ordered the Mo Tofu, which consists of mixed vegetables and tofu in a brown sauce, while my son chose the veggie fried rice, omitting the egg and adding tofu. Both dishes were delicious, with the tofu being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The portion sizes were quite generous, and I ended up needing a doggy bag to take some home. The drinks were also excellent, and I found the prices to be reasonable—just a little over $20 for both meals. I will definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant for an unforgettable meal, whether it's lunch or dinner. The cozy spot is always bustling, with patrons waiting for a table as soon as others finish. The food is served piping hot and is visually appealing. I've visited many times, including twice in the last two weeks. For lunch, their prices are unbeatable—just $3.55 for Egg Drop soup and fried rice with a choice of protein. I particularly love the Orange Chicken; it's a bit spicy, but incredibly flavorful. The service is quick, and the value is unmatched. While it's a small establishment, be prepared to wait if you arrive after 11:45 a.m., as there will likely be a line.

This restaurant offers Chinese cuisine that you can proudly share with others. If you're looking for exceptional Chinese dining in the area, look no further. The lunch portions are fantastic, and the dinner portions are even more generous. If you're seeking authentic Chinese food, Golden China is the place to go—your dining experience will truly be enjoyable. I give it five stars!

The food was fantastic, which is fortunate because we nearly left after waiting 20 minutes for service, even though we already had a table. So, in summary, the food is excellent, but the service was quite slow.
