About Golden Crane Express

Welcome to Golden Crane Express, a Chinese Restaurant located at 808 S Alvarado St suite a, Los Angeles, CA 90057, USA. You can contact us at (213) 739-8728 or +1 213-739-8728.

Initial impressions from one customer describe Golden Crane Express as an "absolute gem," praising the warm hospitality and quick service upon arrival. The food was highlighted for being fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, suggesting the use of quality ingredients. Specific dishes like the Teriyaki Chicken (flavorful, perfectly grilled with a balanced sweet and savory sauce), Broccoli Beef (tender beef, fresh crunchy broccoli in a rich savory sauce), and Chow Mein (noodles cooked just right, slightly crispy, and flavorful with sauce and veggies) were commended. The portions were noted as generous, and the prices reasonable for the quality.

This positive reviewer also appreciated the friendly and efficient staff who prepared the order quickly without compromising quality, recommending Golden Crane Express for both quick bites and satisfying meals, and expressing intent to return.

However, a more recent review presents a contrasting experience. A former regular customer reported a significant decline in quality and service. They described an issue with ordering rice noodles via Uber Eats, where the employee answering the phone was rude and unhelpful. Furthermore, their order was incomplete (one combo missing), and when they called to inquire, the employee was confrontational, insisting only one was ordered despite evidence of being charged for two. The customer received a refund through Uber Eats but found the shared combo to be bland and unpleasant, leaving a bad aftertaste. Due to this negative experience, this customer stated they would not order from Golden Crane Express again.

Golden Crane Express is a Chinese Restaurant in Los Angeles that appears to offer delicious and affordable food, with some standout dishes. However, recent feedback indicates potential issues with customer service and order accuracy, which prospective customers may want to consider.

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.

When I was little, this place had two arcade machines. Dig Dug and mrs. pacman. The food hasn't changed it's still top-notch.

I love their orange chicken—crispy and just the right amount of sweet. Prices are fair, and the portions are big.
