Such a vibe!! I've been wanting to go here so we arrived right around 5 and got seated right away. Food was great! 10/10 American Chinese it's so good and great quality, definitely elevated from a classic take out operation. My sister is vegan and they were able to make a few items vegan and gave us some options that she could choose! Overall great food, great service, great atmosphere !

Such a fun night. Once we got our table they sat us near the fire feature and it very cool we had ordered Fried rice, Orange chicken, Egg Rolls & deep fried tofu. Very large portions and a great value. The interior decor was well done.

Wow! Just wow!. Great service. Fresh, beautiful and delicious food.🤤 I'm 100% coming back and recommended. Boiled, stemmed or pan fried options. A highlight for anti-pork eaters....Beef dumplings too! 🥰 💥Easy parking too. Way better than the convoy district!

Perfectly made comfort chinese food at very reasonable price. The quantity and taste is more than good enough.The noodles with chili oil was so good,that I forgot to take instant pics and later took the leftover pics..highly recommended!

This is an old run down outdated place which depending on the person can be a good thing or not. I think the loyal customers who have been coming for years are what keeps this place going. First off it's cash only we missed the small sign on our way in and had to go to an ATM mid meal to get cash out . The chow mein is mostly bean sprouts and onion. I can tell that the customers there were the usuals because they all seemed to know each other. The fried rice and BBQ pork were ok the sauces on the chicken were bland. the place didn't seem very clean, the upholstery on the chairs were ripped. The service was decent. They do have a small parking lot or street parking

Delicious food and wonderful service. Gets busy on the weekends, but it's worth the wait.

I like the fried rice and chili oil. prices are pretty good parking pretty good. They could work on the atmosphere like cleaning tables more a redesign would be nice over all good if you don't got a lot of money.

Amazing egg rolls, and noodles. The chicken can change sometimes but the Egg rolls and Lo Mein noodles never change, always delicious, I dipped them in the soy sauce they provide. Very good!!!

Absolutely Disgusted – Found a Worm in My Food! I’m beyond appalled by my experience at Nation City South Bay Plaza Panda Express After taking just a few bites of my meal, I discovered a worm inside the food on my plate. I was shocked and horrified. This is not only unsanitary but also completely unacceptable in any food establishment. I tried to remain calm, but after seeing something like that, it’s hard to ignore how utterly careless this is. I can’t imagine how something like that could have slipped past kitchen staff or quality control, especially given that it was noticeable immediately. To find something so vile in my meal has completely ruined my appetite and trust in this place. I am deeply concerned about the hygiene standards here and am seriously questioning how this was allowed to happen. I don’t want anyone else to experience what I did – it’s both disgusting and unsafe. I am requesting a full refund and for the restaurant to take immediate action to improve their food safety procedures. This was a completely unacceptable experience, and I will not be returning

I make an orden for pickup and when they tell me was ready, when i was there they make me wait like 25 min and when they finally come whit me they said " The order is missing, we need to do it rigth now, bro i been driving 4 hours" and after that they didn't put the full order on both plates, they forgot the sauces, forks... come on! I know there's some time they got a lot people on line, but I'm not here to evaluate the food, because I like Panda Express, but I'm telling you if you want a good service... I recommend you another location.

The Wings Live Up to the Hype! Stopped by Royal Mandarin in National City and finally tried the famous wings with fried rice—and wow, they did not disappoint. The wings are crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. Perfectly seasoned and just the right amount of sticky, they definitely live up to their legendary status. The fried rice was a perfect match—savory, not too greasy, and full of that classic wok flavor. Portions were generous, and the service was quick and friendly. If you're in the area, this spot is a must. Go for the wings—you’ll be thinking about them long after you leave.

Delicious home-style Chinese food. This unassuming restaurant serves very tasty dishes. We ordered the crispy noodles with beef and chicken and it was the largest serving of noodles that we've ever encountered! The rest of our dishes (fried dumplings, wonton soup, and BBQ pork) were delectable. The BBQ pork might have been the best of that dish that we have eaten. I was pleasantly surprised that dumplings came with a hot chili sauce. Additionally, the food came out extremely fast -- all plates within 10 minutes. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want good Chinese food.

My all time favorite Chinese restaurant in Southbay. My daughter decided to treat me out for lunch and as always, has to order an army full of dishes. That’s her! Golden Chopstix has never disappointed, even 30 plus years later. And, what better way in honoring my parents and their spirit, we continue to dine in at Chopstix. It was their favorite Chinese restaurant too. In past decades, our family had celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries and just because. Even when relatives from out of state or out of country would visit, Golden Chopstix was usually our go-to. The food is always served hot, fresh, and delicious. Side note, the salted pepper chicken wings were not so tasty, it was missing the seasoning(s)we’re use to. The crunch and crispiness was still there. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with cooks having an “off” day, right. We didn’t bring this up to the server, as we felt it was minor issue. The rest of the dishes were on point and delicious, as always. The staff are more friendlier and accommodating than other local Chinese restaurants in Southbay. Servers are usually attentive and good about clearing dirty dishes and making sure kids are taken care of (hi chairs, baby cups, etc). The restaurant’s decor is set in traditional Chinese style and color. The place is spacious and kept clean. Before closing, I do want to highlight the fried crispy green beans. They were extra delicious, generously portioned, and cooked to perfection. Im not a fan of green beans, but I am now. It’s a must-try dish at Golden Chopstix. If you haven’t tried Golden Chopstix, it’s time to make it over and enjoy the variety of dishes. There has to be one to several delectable dishes you will end up liking 👍🏼

So there are tons of Chinese spots in SD. My favorite is Golden Chopsticks!! They are In my top five places to get salt and pepper chicken wings in the U.S. and I stand by that 100% The wings are crispy on the outside but tender and juicy in the middle. They are seasoned to perfection. Everything else is great but you come for the salt and pepper chicken wings!!

pretty good, another chinese food spot. a little dalty on the dishes, esp the chow mein/lo mein and salted pepper chicken wings, but overall decent as long as they keep their cheaper price against other popular chinese food in the area.

I love the food here! It's a South Bay staple. The salt and pepper wings are the favorite, they never disappoint. We also ordered Mongolian beef, cream cheese wontons, and the orange chicken. Everything was on point. Also, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and kept our water full. You won't leave hungry if you order a family meal. I can't wait to come back. Eat up!!!

This was my first time ever trying this establishment and I was absolutely not disappointed! The food was delicious. The service was impeccable! The waiter was very attentive. I got two of the combo plates and I'm so excited to try more! I also got the salt and pepper chicken wings, one of my favorites! The atmosphere is good , it was nice for casual dining.

Kim’s has been a staple for me. Anytime I’m in the neighborhood it’s the perfect time for a monster plate of food at the best price in town.

Mine and my wife's favorite Chinese food spot. We take everyone here when they come visit us in SD and it's always a hit! The food is delicious, the portions are large, and the service is impeccable. The staff leaves you feeling welcome and the cooks make sure your bellies are full. 10/10 would recommend. I can't say enough good things about Bistro City.

I've eaten here for the last 6 years and it's never disappointed. Friendly and attentive service only overshadowed by the quality of their food and generous portion sizes.

This is a great Chinese buffet restaurant. Prices are reasonable. As you see from the photos, the food is fresh. As I sat and ate, I watched the kitchen staff multiple times refilling the food line. Nothing was ever cold or semi warm that was supposed to be served hot. The fish options were plentiful. I love the fried shrimp and in my home town, sadly, I rarely see this served anymore. This restaurant delivers all expectations for a Chinese buffet restaurant. The establishment is clean, service is fast, A must visit place.

I had not been here for at least 10 years and the food continues to be surprisingly good. They have great soups and a variety of options/dishes that include seafood, chicken, beef, as one expects from a buffet. Everything is very tasty. They are not monitoring how much you eat as in other restaurants. Sushi does not disappoint. Please stay away from french fries, pizza, chicken nuggets, and mac&cheese, as these are quick fillers and not worth eating at a Chinese buffet. I will definitely come back. Price per person has increased slightly, but what has not here in Cali. Recommend.

Worst cutomer service! MAKING EXCUSE and Blaming custome for their slowness! I have to wait for my 8 roll of sushi in 50 mins. After waiting for 20 mins, i asked if my order is ready, they should have said it should take a while more instead it should be done soon, making me to wait for 50 mins. The girl didn't even say sorry and took responsibility. Instead, she told me that it s my fault. I should have called before? So if a customer who came in and order to eat in store, are they supposed to wait 50 mins as well? Should I call first to order stuff before eating at their restaurant instead of taking out? DO NOT COME HERE! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!

The food is good. I like the Teriyaki chicken, but will NO LONGER buy Or Eat it. The Excessive CHAR on the meat is CANCEROUS! There's More CHAR than Meat. This applies to ANY grilled Meat. Look it up. Its just not Healthy.
