Golden Dragon

This place to me was just ok when it came to the general Tso chicken. The pork fried rice was good and the sauce for the chicken was good as well, however it could have used had a little more spice to it and the chicken could have been cooked a few minutes longer, I’d give it a 6 outta 10

I have to admit I never had much of a reason to go to the Eden Square strip mall, where Golden Dragon is located. Now that Lowe’s is gone, I have even less of a reason to be here. But Golden Dragon was one of the last Chinese takeouts that I hadn’t tried, so I had to do it. One thing we noticed is this place doesn’t get much business either. On a Friday evening, we were the only customers that whole time. Perhaps it’s the result of a major anchor tenant like Lowe’s leaving. Service was pretty good and reasonably fast. However, one wouldn’t expect to wait too long anyway if there were no other customers.
The food, however, left something to be desired. The fried rice wasn’t the best. It was only a shade better than the horrid yellow rice at some other takeout places. The egg rolls weren’t fresh. They were oily and hard, as though they had been kept overnight and refried. On the plus side, the sesame chicken was just fine. However, I’d look elsewhere for better egg foo young.

For the most part, we eat Chinese food at least once a month. This is the only place we’ve tried since we’ve moved to Bear. It’s close and the food is delicious, especially the won ton soup. The girl that works there is great and always is pleasant. They give you a free soda if you order over a certain amount. There’s room to sit in and eat at their tables and chairs in the dining area. It seems to be more like a take out than a restaurant atmosphere to me. We’ve never eaten in the dining room.
Food is done super fast and the place seems clean. They cook it in front of you. They do take special orders like no vegetables or no sauce but on the downside, they don’t deliver. We will continue to frequent this establishment.

Got the Singapore noodles which were average, nothing special. Noodles were mass produced but well cooked. Vegetable and other additions were a little on the light side compared to the volume of noodles, but acceptable for a take out fast food place.
However, the fried rice was terrible. The grains were soggy, light on the char siu, and the flavor was a bit «off». Can’t really describe the flavor better since once the mouth feel was bad and the flavor poor it went in the trash.
Not going back.

Best chinese in the area! Love the steamed dumplings!
