Chinese Restaurant

I was there for dinner on Saturday. The location is good, parking is easy to find. The restaurant looks clean, which is important for dining. The food I ordered was delicious overall. Only the #123 fried rice was tasted kind of flat, compared to other dishes. Their service were pretty good. No complaints at all.

Delicious food! Quick service! We never mind joining the wait-list; they get to you super fast! We love bringing our friends to this spot. Any excuse to come back 🤣👍

I was pleasantly surprised when the food came to our table. The smells and tastes were lovely and the staff seemed very attuned to the atmosphere. Do take note if you have something against oily foods, it seemed pretty oily. Other than that, I like the experience, would come again to try some other savory sounding foods in the menu. 9/30/24: Came back to this place a second time. The food still tasted as great as before. This time I ordered the honey walnut prawn and general tsou's chicken. The honey walnut prawns were surprisingly different with interesting addition of sesame seeds. I couldn't believe the taste afterwards. Best honey walnut prawn I've had

Discovering Golden Chopstick in Dublin, California, was a true culinary revelation. The absence of a noteworthy Chinese restaurant in Stockton led me to venture all the way to Dublin, and it defined an experience beyond expectations. While it's undeniable that the prices lean towards the higher side, this is justified by the demographics of the location. Investing around a hundred bucks for four dishes might seem steep, but the portions are not only substantial but also incredibly delectable. The flavors are a testament to the care and skill invested in the culinary artistry. What truly sets Golden Chopstick apart is not just the food but the outstanding service. Maggie, our gracious host, ensured every aspect of our dining experience was impeccable. The attention to detail in making sure the food arrived piping hot, delicious, and ready was a testament to the commitment to customer satisfaction. Now, let's delve into the gastronomic journey itself. The Mongolian lamb was a symphony of flavors, each bite offering a delightful combination of tender meat and robust spices. The Lover's Promise lived up to its name, providing a divine experience that tantalized the taste buds. The salt pepper fish was an unbelievable culinary adventure, elevated further by the addition of a homemade chili sauce that allowed for a personalized spice level. When I come across something that defies a conventional rating scale of 1 to 10, and ventures into the realm of extraordinary, Golden Chopstick undoubtedly falls into that category. This is not just a restaurant; it's an experience that deserves a permanent place in your phonebook, contacts, or even a business card for seamless and delightful orders. Prepare for a genuine surprise with each visit to this culinary haven.

What a wonderful find!! Thanks Reddit for leading me here on a whim while searching for good JJM's in bay area. Ok, it was so good, like when u watch ppl in kdrama slurp down their JJM and u thinking that looks absolutely delicious, well it was that!!! There's alot of ingredients in the saucy bowl, a generous amount of protein mixed in with crunchiness of onions, great balance of flavors. Yummm Portion is big, had to take leftovers to go. Staff is friendly and sociable, restroom super clean. Lol I will be back to try their other dishes for sure! Thanks! *They have been around since 1987 😱💪

This is the best Chinese American* food I've ever had, hands down, no contest. Every dish is cooked fresh to order and you can taste the love and passion in every bite. The quality is unmatched: crispy, perfectly fried entrees and flavors that truly stand out. While the price might seem high at first, the portions are incredibly generous and the protein-to-price ratio is simply unbeatable. I've had the kung pao chicken and orange chicken last me for four meals before! So when is it a good time to eat here? Lunch service comes with smaller entrees, but includes a choice of fried, brown, or white rice, plus spring rolls. At dinner, the entrees are enormous and we've frequently been treated to free crab rangoons and spring rolls! But trust me: dining in is the way to go. There’s always plenty of seating, and the experience of having your food fried just minutes before it reaches your table is unforgettable. Is it worth eating in? Because nothing beats the freshness. That freshly fried crunch for their orange chicken or honey walnut prawns, which disappears within minutes, is on an entirely different level and something I haven't tasted anywhere else. Everything on the menu is fantastic, but the honey walnut prawnsa re truly to die for. My go-to order is the jiajiang mien (5th picture, the black bean paste with noodles), honey walnut prawns (3rd picture), and kung pao chicken. The fried rice with chicken is also a great safe option and the Chinese chicken salad is a great option for someone more calorie conscious. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Pleasanton and it would be a tragedy to lose it! They deserve our support, so come out and try it while you still can! * Note that I say it's Chinese American. While the name seems to suggest Sichuan food, the items on the menu are closer to Panda Express than what you'd see at a Hai Di Lao or Din Tai Fung. I haven't seen a single Szechuan pepper in any of the food 😅, but who cares, the food tastes incredible and that's what really matters!

Dropped by here over a weekend. Haven't been here since the pandemic. We went early so there was plenty of parking, but when we left there were car circling the parking lot. The service was good and we're checked in often by the staff. The food was okay. They came out hot and was tasty. But the prices made it hard to swallow. I'm guessing it's due to the area and inflation. Overall a good place to visit with the family.

Monday dinner treated by my son here. Good flavorful dishes which did not disappoint. Service was impartial. We arrived around 5pm and the restaurant is relatively empty yet the service staff tend to rush us out at the end when we were still chatting over food. Overall, the impression was good, especially the food which I'd give 5 stars for what you could find in the area for quality Chinese food.

Love the huge serving sizes, how quickly the food comes out, and the reasonable prices! Really extensive menu and enjoyed all the dishes we tried. My favorite were the crispy beef, fried rice, and the crispy noodles.

We order from here quite frequently and have enjoyed the food in the past, but our takeout food today was pretty gross. The chicken was bland and oddly very round in shape and the garlic noodles were undercooked and extremely peppery (with two pieces of shrimp in the whole dish). This leads me to believe that the owners might’ve switched suppliers due to cost, etc, but nonetheless, whatever they have been doing differently has not been good at all. Their food is way too expensive to taste as bland and old as it did today. Not sure when / if we will be back, which is a shame because this was our favorite Chinese food place. 😕

I have mostly dined at either the PF Chang's at Sunnyvale or the Stanford Mall. After moving to the east bay I wanted to try out the one at Pleasanton given that the one in Fremont had permanently closed. I went out there for our anniversary dinner with my wife and daughter. We had a great server who helped us in ordering Pork Egg rolls, Singapore street noodles and Chang's spicy chicken. The pork egg rolls were a delight and an absolute recommendation. The noodles and the spicy chicken went very well together and tasted perfect. The portion sizes are quite proportional to the price. I think during busy dinner days it's better to reserve before heading out. Overall, a great experience.

Top notch PF Chang's experience. Both the front desk and our server were very friendly and cordial. The space is upscale and clean. Food tasted amazing and they honored my request to double fry the special lo mein noodles. With Walnut Creek location closed permanently I would say this is one and only really nice PFC around East Bay.

I tried this Chinese restaurant for the first time last week, and must say they had the best potstickers I’ve ever had! That’s an awesome accomplishment! Their egg flower soup on the other hand was very bland and came scorching hot. It was so hot that it burned the plastic container it came with!! I had to wait 30 minutes just to be able to eat the soup… they need to fix that.

If you like classic 80s/90s Chinese food, this is the place! It's predictable in a good way, and the prices are really great. The service is friendly. Really, one of the best Chinese restaurants in Sonoma County.

The food is EXCELLENT. Definitely come here for the food. Especially the clay pot dishes. Service was also attentive and prompt. However, our experience was knocked down several notches due to the front door that was constantly either being blown open by the wind (they need to fix the hydraulic hinges to keep the door closed properly) or by patrons who ignored the "PULL/PUSH" signs on either side of the door and kept opening the door inward which further aided the wind pushing the door open. If you eat here (which I highly suggest you do, as the food is delicious), I suggest you do so on a day that is not windy or sit at a table not near the entrance.

Located on Geary Blvd near 4th Avenue in the Richmond District San Francisco. The owner is very nice. Unfortunately the wait staff could use some customer service training. What we ordered: 1.) Winter Melon Soup not bad could use a bit more seasoning. 2.) Ginger Chicken. The waitress messed this up by putting a Gravy over the chicken which is not what we wanted. Tasted ok chicken was right… 3.) Beef Chow Fun this was very good beef was tender. 4.) Fried pork spareribs this was not bad. 5.) Seafood Tofu Clay Pot again this was not prepared the way it was ordered. So did not great tasting. 6.) Pea spouts in ginger garlic. The taste was good but the sprouts were chewy.

BBQ duck on demand

New spot for a lunch special. Comes with a bed of rice and 3 items. Since I came with other people, I was able to try a lot of the options. Most notable was the soft tofu and fish balls and the chicken curry. I like that there is a variety of vegetables. The special is a great amount of food. It is also nice that they have a dine in option which has been clean each time.

Lunch specials. 3 entrances + rice = $8.50. This got to be the cheapest in the area. It’s traditional Chinese food. So most customers are Chinese. But, if you come with an open heart and open stomach. It may be a good surprise.

Had the whole restaurant for ourselves on a quiet weekday lunch hour. First time dining here and pretty impressed with what we ordered! Would skip Calamari, didn’t taste fresh! Fried rice and cumin lamb were some of the best dishes we had in a while!

Their iron pot is one of my favorite comfort foods in the city. It's perfect for when I want to feel full of warmth and joy while craving something spicy and flavorful. The portion size of the vegetarian small iron pot ($30.99) is generous and can easily be shared between 2-3 people, or enjoyed solo and split into multiple meals! Pairs well with rice.

I love this place, favorite bbq shop on Clement. I only wish they were open Mondays because that’s the easiest day for me to get there. Been going for years when I can, service has always been just fine. As for atmosphere, it’s takeout so what do you expect.

I popped in for some quick Chinese takeout, and it seemed like they were undergoing partial construction. I ordered the deep-fried salt and pepper shrimp, chicken wings (which were a bit under-seasoned and greasy), and their Chinese sticky rice, which lacked flavor and needed soy sauce to enhance it. Surprisingly, these three dishes at half a pound each totaled $32, which was a bit higher than expected. They accept credit cards but require a minimum of $15 minimum. The parking in the area is always an issue. No free lots. While convenient for locals, it's not worth going out of the way for given the many other comparable options nearby.
