Golden Crane Express is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and quick service. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned—you can really tell they use quality ingredients. The Teriyaki Chicken was super flavorful—perfectly grilled with a nice char, and the sauce had just the right balance of sweet and savory. The Broccoli Beef was just as good, with tender beef and fresh, crunchy broccoli in a rich, savory sauce. The Chow Mein tied everything together—noodles were cooked just right, slightly crispy in some spots, and full of flavor from the sauce and veggies. The portions were generous, and the prices are really reasonable for the quality you get. The friendly and efficient staff ensured my order was prepared quickly without sacrificing quality. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or looking for a satisfying meal, this place delivers! I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Golden Crane Express to anyone craving delicious Chinese food at an affordable price!

I used to come here all the time in person with my girlfriend and we loved the food and I must say this place has really gone downhill. Today my girlfriend ordered two combos and since rice noodles aren't listed as an option on uber eats she called. The lady she spoke to was very rude to her and kept cutting her off while she tried to ask for rice noodles. Uber eats drops our food off and I notice there's only one combo. We ended up calling in to see if our other combo got left behind and right away the employee I talked to blew up on me and saying I only ordered one (our app and bank says we were charged for two). I was simply just asking a question and she was not having it. After receiving a refund through uber eats we decided to share the combo and I will say everything tasted bland and not enjoyable. I'm typing this and still have a bad aftertaste in my mouth. Sadly, I will not be ordering from Golden Crane Express ever again.

Delicious Chinese food in a Seattle landmark! This beautiful venue has sweeping views of Lake Union. Good prices, plenty of parking and easy walking access. New ownership is very friendly and are experienced restauranteurs. You have every reason to come here and feast!

Wonderful experience! Delicious food! We went here for my husband's birthday dinner. So yummy 😋. We had the almond fried chicken, broccoli beef, pot stickers, and shrimp with honey walnuts. The potsticker wrappers were light, not too doughy, and just the right balance of tender and crispy! The view is the best part though. Gorgeous views of Lake Union! And they have an event hall upstairs with amazing views too. Wish I had an excuse to rent it! Excellent service and prices are surprisingly reasonable (especially for Seattle). The only negative I can find is that there is a bit of shabbiness to the building -- but it sure didn't decrease my enjoyment of the evening. Hope to be back soon! FYI, there are cute areas to explore near the building, like various marinas and an ice cream shop.

Excellent customer service, the food is freshly made, nice and hot. It's delicious. I had a great experience eating here. Great job 👍 👏👏👏👏👏

In the past: The food tastes fine, but the workers are ALWAYS somewhat rude in that they are NOT friendly at all. I don't like their attitude of not being friendly. No hello. No thank you. No goodbye. Nothing. It's like they're prisoners. I rarely buy their food, because the workers appear to be sad, unfriendly, & there against their will. 1/15/20: I went back today. The workers were all happy & polite this time. This was the 1st time I engaged with positive attitude workers there. The food was fresh. I was happy!!! 10/10/20: the food was good & so was the service. 5/13/21: Always tasty. Polite service. 5/27/21: Their food was good the next day for breakfast. June, 2021: The workers were polite & smiled. The food was consistently very good. 10/13/22: Their new fake orange 🍊 chicken 🐔 is incredibly tasty! It tastes just like chicken 🐔! I'll choose it each time!

Food always fresh 🤌🤌me and my friend always go and the prices are very low

I arrived around 8:20 pm. Was told it was 9.00 for one protein item with rice and noodles. And the last charged 10.00. it's this Chinese older lady from the back that came out (short hair and glasses) and took over the service of the server in front.

To start off, you go to the counter to order and pay before you are seated if there is no tables or come in during rush hour just FYI. The food was amazing to start off with the beef noodles, the steak was tender, and the noodles were flavorful. The wings were some of the freshest and crispiest wings I’ve ever had, add some tableside chili oil to the wings… the fried rice was really solid…. The pork belly boa was by for the best item of the menu we had. The pickled carrots and pickles with the savory and tender pork belly went delicious with the soft bread. I totally recommend this for all four plates, I spent $61 before tip.

Our friend group supper club chose this spot on a Sunday night and weren’t disappointed. It’s a casual vibe with a nice outdoor patio. You order at the counter but don’t let the line of people deter you from stopping by, because the food comes out incredibly fast. I have to say, everything we tried was complex and savory. They also have organic wines to pair with your meal. Between the five of us, we were able to order multiple entrees and appetizers to share. The prices are very reasonable and it was great to try multiple dishes. I definitely recommend this spot for a date night or if you want to bring your dog because the patio had lots of furry friends. Parking can be tricky since it’s tucked into a neighborhood but worth circling to find a spot!

We used to come here all the time to order shrimp fried rice no peas and no carrots. They were always so sweet and the food was always good. We returned for the first time since moving out of LA several years ago and once we placed the order the lady remembered us. It was as good as I remembered and it’s a great value restaurant. Location isn’t fancy but inside the staff is great and the food is good, inexpensive and offered with a smile.

Friendly service， food is delicious, and fast service, I like getting their soup and the new orange chicken and jalapeño chicken, yummy!!!

The meat selection here is pretty good. I've eaten here a handful of times already and it's always worth it. It's a good spot if you're in the area and need a quick bite. 4 stars cuz it's in front of MacArthur park lol

Really good Chinese food at a great price ($5.99/lb). Cleanliness is satisfactory. Horrendous neighborhood, and limited street parking only.

I came to get some Chinese food because I was craving for some chow mine and orange chicken and the food was cold and barely taste like anything only the orange chicken was pretty good , the workers were very nice though 👍🏽

Saw an ad on the street for Chili Cheese Fries and said to myself don't do this to me. But since I love Chili Cheese Fries I went to order some. It is annoying to assume everyone speaks Spanish to the point they have to ask again in English but that isn't the point. The good part is they made a fresh batch of fries but right when the worker was bringing it out to me, he takes a phone call and rather than put it on hold for a minute, had me waiting for my fresh fries that are now getting cold. I had to get up a few minutes later to retrieve them from other working who of course speaks Spanish at first to me. I guess they don't know how to prioritize with their in person customers and phone customers.

Great food, service and price. I love it here. I’ll come back for sure. Delicious food brings more people. I’m so satisfied. Thank you for your business!

Got the kung pao chicken. It had more walnuts and cashews than meat… paid 8$ for the nastiest egg rolls I’ve ever had. Overall overpriced, poor taste, no flavor, soul…. Chinese on the east coast is a lot better and very different

This place is just amazing i would go here as a kid and 20 years later I returned everything was still amazing it doesn’t get any better the food and atmosphere is authentic and the prices you just can’t beat you get your moneys worth and you’ll walk out without regrets don’t let the chain link fence places by the city discourage you it’s easy access just walk in the place is cash only so bring cash if not there’s a atm down the block at a check cash place

The food is authentic Cantonese Chinese food. It’s freshly made to order. The flavor is scrumptious. My Mom and Dad went there before I was even conceived. Now Iv taken my family. The decor has never changed nor been upgrade or kept up. Visually it’s unpleasing and very tight space. It’s a hole in the wall. If you only care about the food then definitely come here.

Me and my family always come here. The guy who always serves us is so nice and generous. This time the person who served us was a woman. She is so stingy with the chow mein. Let me tell you I was 🤔. So I asked for more and she had the worst attitude. I never had a problem before regarding portions. We love coming here for Chinese food. Maybe next time we get the guy hopefully or someone else. I took away my 5 star.

The lineup seemed promising: teriyaki chicken, beef and broccoli, white rice, chow mein, and some spicy wings to add a kick. The teriyaki chicken looked pretty unappetizing and tasted as gross as it looked—salty overload! The beef in the beef and broccoli? Too salty. Broccoli was surprisingly good, though. Then came the spicy wings... or should I say, not-so-spicy and yet again, too salty. Talk about a trend here! Chow mein? Overcooked noodles swimming in the sea of salt. Thank goodness the white rice was alright. If I'm honest, I wouldn't bother giving it another shot. Photos might make it look appealing but it was not at all.

Great, fresh Chinese & Latin cuisine at reasonable prices. No indoor dining during Covid-19 pandemic.

Lots of food for the money. Steam table items did not look fresh or hot or stirred in a while. The rice was oily. The fish fillet I had lacked seasoning. I think they're trying to be too many things and nothing seems to be excellent.
