" I've been a fan of Golden Dragon for quite a long time. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, with generous portions that leave me full after a meal. The owners, Kevin and Sue, are genuinely sweet people who care about their customers, which makes each visit feel special. I've tried various dishes over the years, and while my favorites have remained the same, I love that they regularly update their menu! If you're in search of solid Chinese food that won't break the bank, this is the spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Dragon appeals to me because of the welcoming environment and attentive service. I ordered the egg rolls, and they were perfect; crispy on the outside and tender inside. However, my main course was standard and didn't particularly wow me, leaving me wanting more in terms of flavor. I hope on my next visit I can discover some dishes that truly impress. I appreciate being able to support a local family business. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Golden Dragon was a mixed experience. The atmosphere was fine, a bit casual, which I don’t mind, but I was hoping for something a bit more inviting based on the reviews. The food came out quickly, and the flavors were decent, but I found my meal to be slightly underwhelming compared to what I had anticipated. The service was good – friendly staff and all, but I feel like there are better options in town. I might give it another shot in the future but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant after hearing rave reviews from friends, and I absolutely loved it! Walking in, the cozy atmosphere hit me instantly. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and was blown away by the flavor and freshness. It's clear they pride themselves on cooking everything from scratch rather than reheating pre-packaged meals like some chains. I'll definitely be back and encouraging others to give it a try too! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Golden Dragon last week and I was blown away. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The staff was incredibly friendly and prompt with service. I ordered the fried rice with shrimp and it was bursting with flavor. The quality was a level above what I've typically found at other Chinese restaurants in this area. I also loved that they use fresh vegetables. I can't wait to return and try more of their dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent visit, I experienced great service from the staff on shift. However, I found that the food, while cooked well, lacked the punch I typically crave from Chinese cuisine. The egg foo young was decent but rather plain. I would have liked a more vibrant flavor profile. Overall, my experience was average, but I would be open to giving them another shot later on. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express enough how disappointed I was during my last visit. My order for sweet-and-sour chicken didn't live up to the hype. The chicken was soggy, and the sauce tasted overly processed. I appreciated the speed of the service, but if the food isn't good, what’s the point? I hope my next experience will be better, as many people rave about Golden Dragon. " (*Curated Review*)
