I have been ordering food from here for over 16+ years. The food is the best take out/american style Chinese food I've ever had. As I have described it to family and friends who have also become fans, is it is like standard Chinese take out, but done fresh, by hand, and with homemade style recipes/cooking. For instance the best hot and sour soup and egg drop soup around, where most restaurants are usually overly thick and artificially yellow, Golden Garden's has a nice and normal soup consistency, natural color, and doesn't tasted processed/generic. The sweet and sour sauce is thin, not gelatinous, and tastes like it is actually made with pineapple juice instead of premade. The best pad thai Knoxville TN, better than taste of Thai when they we're open or other places I've tried. If you're expectations are your standard overly thicken/gelatinous sauces, premade/processed panda express style take out than yeah you may be disappointed, but that because the food here is a high quality and well made take on familiar dishes. The service is always great. The owners are friendly and personable. This is a true mom and pop place that has a long history of fans and good reviews for a good reason.

Got the general tso and sesame chicken. Chicken was the weirdest texture- spongy and flavorless. Fried rice was also weirdly textured and not at all what we were hoping for based on other reviews

I ordered the chicken Singapore noodles and it was definitely the best I’ve had ever. this place has fantastic atmosphere and very clean restrooms. The prices were very affordable and the portion sizes are great for one person. I took a picture of there neat sink in the restroom.

I invited 17 people there to celebrate my birthday, and it was absolutely perfect. The waiters are super friendly and quick, and the cooks always get the food out on time. Every dish is designed with care, and you can taste the energy they put into it. It’s always hot and fresh. Today, I placed an online order, and even when my food got to me (7 minute drive), it was hot. The staff is super friendly, the restaurant is beautifully adorned with statues and traditional Chinese decor, and the food tastes homemade. If you ever get the chance, you should stop by this little haven. - Zoë

Love the atmosphere at P F Chang, with a great service. The food is amazing, fried beans, crab wontons and dynamite shrimp are the must haves. The veggie lettuce wrap is delicious too. I love appetizers more than the entree but the main dishes are good. Mongolian beef is very popular.

Pan fried pork dumplings were delicious, but were lukewarm in the middle. Frozen broccoli was used in the tofu dish, the texture was somewhat soggy and watery. I ordered the brown rice, it was hard and did not seem fresh. Service was excellent!

Although Dirkos is more on the expensive side it is always worth it. Load up all the pizzas with toppings. My family and I love the BLT Pizza most. The meat lovers is also great. All the sides are pretty good. I do prefer to order the wings well done, i feel they are not typically crispy enough. The subs are decent as well. I personally have never had the Stromboli but I've always heard great things about it.

This is a mom&pop take out one a conventional corner. It is Stallings size but BIG in taste. I stopped here on a whim, just to "see" what they had to offer. I knew I was going to order SOMETHING before I went in be abuse it smelled SO GOOD even from outside. Business was steady but it still only took 15 min for my counter order of a medium Stromboli with marina sauce. It was exactly the right amount for two of us with the ends left over to go with a salad tonight. I try to remember to take pictures and I did of the store while waiting for my order but I totally forgot when it arrived. It looked so good we had to eat as soon as we finished Thanking God. I have traveled in Italy and give this a rating as authentic flavor although I can't remember which province... I did not ask about bathrooms and honestly it was too small for my friend's motorized scooter to get in. It really is designed for takeout or delivery. With only a $2 delivery fee if your total order exceeds $15 and is within a 7 mile radius, I would call it handicapped accessible. I can strongly recommend Dirko's. Next time I plan to get the lasagna!

My husband and I met some friends here a few days ago. We all shared the warm table bread and skipped on appetizers. I ordered a Babe's Mule. It was a decent cocktail. For dinner, I ordered the Rigatoni Alla Vodka and my husband got the Fettuccine Alfredo. We both added chicken to our pasta dishes. Overall everything looked and tasted great. The server was kind as well. I would definitely eat here again.

My son had the full chicken parmesian and I had the half portion. I was full and he couldn't finish his. He and I agreed it was delicious. Busy but not full on a Sunday afternoon, so you can get in quickly. Service was attentive and food arrived quickly.

I was passing through on my way to Kalahari water park and decided to give this place a chance. It did not disappoint! The food was delicious- and more than fairly priced (like lots of options under even $12). I’ve had Indian food at about 5 different places now, and this has been mine and my boyfriend’s favorite of all! The atmosphere is very cozy and you can tell the owners are truly passionate about making both delicious food and happy customers. I loved everything about this place and definitely plan on coming back next time I’m in town! The locals seemed to really enjoy it too. :) Lots of take out orders and friendly faces.

Absolutely amazing. Authentic recipes and satisfying flavors. We sampled several items and every single one of them were excellent. This family owned an operated business put a lot of heart and soul into their food. Highly recommend. Thank you for an amazing meal.

Update... 6/6/24 we are here again, and I'm here to tell you I must've been in a bad mood the first time, or I caught them on a bad day, but this time the food was fantastic. I had Gen Tso, and she had pork lo mein. Both just as good as it gets. We had pork egg rolls that were good, and one of the best hot&sour soups I've had in Knoxville. The service was speedy with courteous staff. The food was good, but not great. The chicken was good breast meat, lightly breaded and crispy, which I enjoy, but the flavor was only mediocre

We were in the area and craved Chinese food. I found this restaurant online because it had the most stars. I can see why! We ordered mixed lo mein and beef egg foo yung. Oh my! Hot and so tasty! Highly recommend!!

Ron’s Pizza: A Tragic Tale of Dough and Despair I stepped into Ron’s Pizza on a cold, drizzling evening, the kind where the streetlights flicker like dying embers and the air tastes of forgotten dreams. The neon sign buzzed overhead, its red glow reflecting in the puddles like the blood of lost hope. I hadn’t eaten all day. Not because I couldn’t, but because I wasn’t sure if I deserved to. The door creaked as I entered, a sad groan that mirrored the weight in my chest. The cashier, a hollow-eyed man with the expression of someone who has seen too much yet never enough, barely acknowledged me. I ordered a large pepperoni, a meal meant to fill the void, though I knew it never could. I sat alone, staring at the cheap plastic table, tracing the scratches left by those who had come before me—ghosts of past customers, each mark a testament to their own silent battles. The air smelled of melted cheese and mild disappointment. A child cried in the corner. His mother stared blankly ahead, chewing without passion. When my pizza arrived, I felt nothing. It was warm, sure. The crust had a decent crunch, the cheese stretched in obedient strings, the pepperoni curled like a sneer. But with every bite, I tasted something more—regret, lost time, the crushing realization that no matter how much I consumed, I would never truly be full. A man walked past the window outside, his face gaunt, his coat tattered. He peered in for a moment, eyes empty, then shuffled away. I wanted to call out, to tell him it wasn’t worth it, that nothing in here could save him. But I remained silent, just like everyone else. I finished my meal, paid my bill, and stepped back into the cold night. The neon light flickered one last time as I walked away, disappearing into the dark. Five stars. Good pizza

If you're looking for a hometown pizza place, this is it. My wife is bragged about this place for years.We come back to our hometown and there.It is ron's pizza. The crust was really good and I absolutely love the sauce. Just the right amount of toppings not to overwhelm it. Great job keep it up.

OMG delicious lunch. We aren’t from this area so had not much to choose from. Sooooo glad we picked this place they were busy. We waited awhile but we didn’t mind the food was fresh sliced and made. We got to customize our sandwiches which was nice. The bun had to be fresh made. Because that’s how it tasted. Only downfall we don’t live close to:(.

Didn't think to snap pics of food until it was too late because it was all so yummy and quality that we gobbled it all up too fast. We were passing thru on our way up to ski at SnowTrails and needed to eat ..this was a perfect stop! Note that they were QUICK!! It was a sit down experience that kept us back out onto the road. My son got the Cinnamon French toast and said that other places would have charged $8-10 for that fabulous plate of quality French toast but it was only $5!! Hubs and other son said the sausage gravy and biscuits was really good/perfect and even the biscuits were delicious plain..not too dry like some. I had the 2 egg plate with bacon which was good too! And it's a cute little general store as well so adorable all around. We were pleasantly impressed. Recommended!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really great experience late Valentines evening. We came in around 930 and were sat right away. Service was prompt throughout our time. Everything was well cooked and flavorful. Our only feedback was that the chef was not as engaging as we’ve had at other teppanyaki places. At the end of the night, they gave all the women a complimentary rose gift which was very sweet.

I've had a few negative experiences ordering here. The food is definitely overpriced for the quality. A few items in particular have been bad such as sushi, hibachi chicken, crab rangoons, side salad, side soup, and sauces/dressings. The sushi is poorly rolled and falls apart when you try to eat it despite being very small. The hibachi chicken dinner was okay. The proteins (meats) are always overcooked and chewy. The side salad/soup you get are a few pieces of old lettuce and some hot broth. The crab rangoons have no trace of crab or imitation crab in them. The dough is pale and tasteless, while the tiny amount of filling is basically just sweetened cream cheese. Usually at Hibachi restaurants they offer several sauces and dressings that can be very delicious. That is not the case at Ichiban. The salad dressing, yum-yum sauce and other side sauces tasted bad. They barely had any flavor and seemed very watered down. I've had significantly better food at several other hibachi restaurants. Ichiban Sushi & Steak House (as my receipt reads) needs to make some big changes regarding service and quality.

Since this spot is just around the corner from home, we visit frequently. Our go-to order is white rice with double teriyaki chicken and broccoli—absolutely delicious! Though, I do wish the broccoli was a bit softer. We also love the noodles with beef and vegetables, which never disappoints! Fortune cookies are always fun to read. I crack mine open before even digging into my plate.

If you're craving flavorful, well-prepared Asian cuisine, Yummy Yummy Teriyaki Express is definitely worth the wait! Egg Drop Soup – Perfectly silky with a rich, comforting broth. It’s light yet satisfying, with just the right balance of seasoning. Dumplings – Deliciously crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful filling. Whether steamed or fried, they’re a must-try! Lo Mein Noodles – A fantastic mix of soft, savory noodles tossed in a flavorful sauce with fresh veggies and protein options. Each bite is packed with umami goodness. Coconut Shrimp – Crispy, golden, and coated in a sweet coconut batter that adds a perfect crunch. The dipping sauce complements it perfectly. Overall, the food is fresh, flavorful, and well worth the wait. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great meal with bold flavors!

The server was very nice and accommodating, which I appreciated. However, the teriyaki chicken meal was a huge letdown. It was about 80% mushrooms, which wasn’t disclosed on the menu, and barely had any chicken—especially compared to the sweet and sour chicken. The portion of actual chicken was incredibly disappointing. After I brought it up, they replaced it with sweet and sour chicken, which was good. The egg rolls were also solid, and the other meals at our table looked much better. The people I was dining with seemed happy with their meals, so it seems like I just picked the wrong dish. My wife ordered the bean curd home style. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t spicy as advertised and was about 90% vegetables with very little tofu. Also, their water tastes awful. Another issue was how freezing it was inside. Everyone at our table had to keep their jackets on the entire meal, which made it pretty uncomfortable. Overall, I was really bummed about the teriyaki, but the sweet and sour and the great service helped salvage the experience.

Some of the best Chinese food I've had. The Eight Treasure Chicken was incredible! Service was good and friendly too. We went on a sunday afternoon and all meals were only $10, which was a really fair and competitive price. Will be back for sure!
