" Golden Wok has been my go-to for years. The prices have become slightly higher, but the quality of food is still top-notch. Despite this, my recent experience was a bit off. The crab rangoon was burnt and the sweet and sour chicken lacked flavor. On the other hand, their pho is still a hit, and I appreciate how they remember my usual order. I just wish they would pay more attention to the consistency of the dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Who knew a small family-run place could whip up such incredible dishes? I decided to try the basil fried rice and it has completely surpassed my expectations. The freshness of the ingredients is evident, and the seasoning was spot on. The atmosphere is simple and casual, but that does not take away from the wonderful experience. Great service too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot rave enough about their service! When they saw me struggling to find a place to sit, one of the owners immediately cleared a table for me and offered me a drink while I waited. The green curry was exceptional, and the red curry was just as good. It's places like Golden Wok that truly appreciate their customers. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most amazing meal at Golden Wok! The pad kra pow was incredibly flavorful and filled with fresh ingredients. Enjoyed my conversation with the friendly staff too, who were super attentive. The portion size was more than adequate for the price. The restaurant’s atmosphere is simple but cozy. I can’t imagine a better spot for authentic Thai food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Golden Wok and I loved it! We ordered a variety of dishes and they all tasted remarkably fresh. The service was top-notch, and we felt very welcome during our dinner. The restaurant itself is pretty small, so I would recommend going during off-peak hours. Next time, I'll definitely try their famous Pad Thai! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Wok serves a variety of delicious dishes, but I found the sweet and sour chicken overly sweet for my liking. The ambiance could definitely use a bit of a facelift, but the service was prompt, and the staff were all very friendly. Their prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are decent. I'll likely keep coming back for other options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience at Golden Wok was not what I expected. The pho lacked depth in flavor, and the service felt a bit rushed. However, I cannot deny that the portion sizes were commendable, and the dessert was rather nice. I might consider giving them another chance, just to see if it was a one-time issue.
