" Dining at Chen Golden Palace was an experience! The staff is attentive and the menu is expansive. Each dish was prepared with care and the ingredients were fresh! I often go for takeout, and they always get my order right! Can't recommend it enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic little family-owned place! The dishes are always ample, bursting with homemade flavors, and the staff is the absolute best. I got the sweet and sour pork, and I couldn't stop munching! Make sure to try the shrimp spring rolls, too; they’re wonderful! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience last night! The orange chicken didn’t taste right, and the fried rice was just regular rice with some soy sauce. The atmosphere was nice, but the food lacked the authentic taste I expect from a Chinese restaurant. I might not be returning anytime soon after this. Friendly service, but the food needs work. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is one of my favorites! I adore their garlic chicken, which is always made fresh and has great flavor; they also have wonderful options for vegetarians! The owner is delightful and always makes the effort to remember customers’ names and orders. Will keep returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely family dinner here last week! The portions were more than enough for us to share, and everything was delicious. The staff was attentive, and it was evident that they take pride in their restaurant. The ambiance felt like a cozy corner in an old home. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a hearty meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was hoping for something special, but the food turned out to be mediocre. My kung pao chicken was missing some zing, and the rice was underwhelming. On the upside, the staff was eager to help and very pleasant, enhancing the dining experience a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a nice find! I walked in for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. The beef lo mein was delicious, with juicy pieces of meat and flavorful sauce. Service was quick, which is always a plus during lunch breaks. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
