Golden Wok

Awesome dim sum. I thought the service and ambiance were only okay, but the dim sum made up for it.

people who have no experience with real Chinese food would suck this shit hole hard.

Better than most of the other Chinese restaurants in the area. Still not one of my favorites but it was good.
I had the sesame chicken which had a good sauce. I also had a chicken egg roll which I probably would not get again.
Decent prices.

Tried dim sum and it was the worst dim sum i ever had.
It tasted so sour and weird… I had to ask waitress if it was okay to consume.
They brought out new one and it tasted okay.
I am afraid i might get food poison eating at this place.
Never go back and don’t recommend to anyone. I will stick with everyday restaurant down the street where serves good dim sum !!!

meh is right. i went for dim sum with some friends and we thought it was average to below par. the pork buns, sticky rice in banana leaf, and chinese broccoli with garlic sauce were good (but not great), but pretty much everything else disappointed. shu mai and dumplings were way oversteamed and mushy and bland, roast duck with rice noodle soup literally had zero flavor, hunan chicken was chewy, rice seemed like it hadn’t been rinsed and had sat in the rice cooker for a few days. blah.

Well some bad news here. We had good memories of this place yrs ago. Came back for dim sum. Some was good and some was bad. We had too many people waiting on us. Told them that one fried roll was Terrible take it away and they acted like we had the plauge! Brother. (I think they thought we wanted it off our bill) so we ate the rest and told another girl we didn’t expect them to take it off our bill just take it awayyyy. They showed up with the bill and no one came around again… Lmao like the plauge! Oh well dummies. No more eating here. U are officially un book marked! Too much attitude

best dim sum experience. The chicken congee was so clean tasting and floral almost. It was a pleasant surprise. It was my first time trying the turnip cake, taro dumpling and they are now my favorites.

Lovely Dim Sum lunch but the items that were not on the metal carts were not hot enough. They should rotate the dishes more. Tasty food and the service was wonderful.

Good American-​Chinese food. I’ve tried the Szechuan vegetables (meh: so-​so), the Hunan tofu (good, but they sometimes have a heavy hand with the fermented black bean) and the veggie lo mein (phenomenal). The only problem for me with the Szechan vegetables was they were super salty and hard to taste anything but the chilis. I LOVE chilis and Szechuan peppercorn, but they were just over-​emphasized here. The Hunan tofu comes with bamboo shoots, button mushrooms, water chestnuts, and broccoli. It’s balanced nicely with a great kick, but like I said they can be a little heavy-​handed with the fermented black bean. The lo mein, though — oh, wow. Noodles perfectly done, veggies like pea pods, onions, sprouts, carrot, baby corn perfectly crisp-​tender, and WONDERFUL wok hay! Such a great smoky depth! You just don’t get that everywhere.

This review is mainly for their dim sum. The craving for dim sum hit, and Unilocal helped me find this place as one of the only ones that seems to serve it. We went on a Friday evening, and you can order it a la carte off a separate menu. Very likely these items are pre-​made and frozen, but they were still enjoyable. I liked that it was all cooked to order. They have pictures of every item with the name, so it was very easy to point out what we wanted as would normally happen with the steaming carts at traditional dim sum. We had the steamed bbq pork buns, crystal shrimp dumplings, taro cakes, shrimp in noodles, stuffed tofu rolls, congee with century egg, Singapore noodles, and sautéed sweet pea leaves. We knew we were taking leftovers home! The dim sum and veggies were good. Mostly tasty and not too fatty. The noodles and congee we probably wouldn’t order again. They were kind of bland but better than being too salty and greasy. Service was good in the beginning but spotty later when we asked for more drinks and sauces. Overall, pleased there is a decent option for dim sum any time, but probably wouldn’t come here for regular Chinese food.

I do not plan to return. Although the service was very good, the food was not. Wonton soup was a single piece of folded noodle in thin beef broth with no visible meat. Their idea of fried rice in egg was undercooked rice in soy sauce heated up — no egg was visible. Ordered Hunan Triple and it was covered in a sticky, overly sweet sauce and the beef and chicken both tasted «old». Reminded me of «Kitchen Nightmares». Again the service was fine-​this however is neither good Chinese nor Chinese-​American cuisine.

Foods good usually I have had a few times where the food was for sure not fresh but average its good. Servers are pretty on top of things but tend to be a bit rude. Was offered a plate that’s not on the menu once it was pretty good but not $ 20 good. There dim sum is good if you get it on the week day or in the morning of the weekends never get it weekend nights as its been sitting there since the morning and is gross.

I experience pretty intense Asian cravings, aaaand I’m a total sucker for dim sum carts. A few weeks ago I needed a fix, and Golden Wok had been on my To Try list for awhile. I arrived at the restaurant on Saturday morning, about five minutes after they opened. In a world where there are a limited number of bbq buns, I’m not taking any chances. When the steamer baskets rolled up to our table, piping hot and giving me that come hither look, I was smitten. The only «problem» we encountered while eating was the ol’ Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Stomach. After 5 baskets of various dumplings and desserts, my roommate practically had to roll me out of here. I *almost* passed on the free coffee and tea bar at Horrock’s later on in the afternoon, I was that full. YEAH. THAT FULL. I’ll definitely be back for more #baobrunch soon.

This is a terrible palace. If you want real Chinese food, please do not come to this palace. Their food taste really bad, and just a few portion.

Famous for its hot pot. But I guess most of local resident would not want to try and most of Chinese customer would not want to try twice. There are some reports and rumors from my friends about the poor hygiene condition. Try the Beijing duck, it is even better than Beijing express 2 miles away. Not bad service, free wifi, poor health condition. Average cooking skill. Recommended to try once or two if you like it.

Bad attitude, u have to pay tips when u have the hot pot without agreement and notice

Came here for dim sum on a Saturday morning with some friends. As a California girl, I can say that this dim sum was fairly good. Better than I expected for the Midwest!
My favorites were the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce (cooked with just the right amount of crunch left in the stems), shu mai, and steamed shrimp dumpling. My favorite dim sum dish is rice rolls with shrimp, and these were unfortunately cold. The baked and steamed barbecue pork buns were good, too (it’s really hard to mess up the filling). Although they brought the steam cart around, nothing was «steaming hot.» I wonder if this was because we were some of the first customers and the items had been sitting out. I didn’t try the chicken feet and egg tart, but according to my friends, they were tasty. Next time, I would like to try some of the fried items, like spring rolls and sesame balls, and stir fry noodle dishes.
Service was attentive and friendly. The hot tea was good and refilled promptly when we asked for more.
They have a menu with pictures and the names of the dishes to help you know what the dishes are. We didn’t necessarily have to wait for the cart – our waiter was happy to get the dish for us.
Overall, I would definitely come back. Total with tip was about $ 11 per person.
Oh yes, and if you are one of those big groups… they have round tables with lazy susans, and they let us split up the bill on our credit cards.

Guess i’m yet another Californian trying asian food in the midwest…
Ambiance: Clean with the stereotypical plethora of auspicious red and black. The staff was friendly and did well with my sub-​par attempts at cantonese mixed with english.
Food: We ordered the typical shumai, har-​gao dumplings, and rolled rice noodles which were all solid. My other favorite dishes such as the bbq pork bun and its pastry-​brother were both tasty. I was sad the fried chive bun wasn’t that great with a thick skin and lackluster chive/​shrimp filling. The sticky rice (lo mai gai) was also pretty what-​evs with a general lack of filling, although it wasn’t dry and flavorless like may other places i’ve been.
Overall the food was pretty decent, especially considering it is the midwest. Nothing was dessicated from sitting out too long and all the staples were there and tasty. Some ancillary dishes had some issues but I just won’t get those things next time. I would say this place probably is a 3 – 3.5 in terms of food but considering other asian places i’ve been in the midwest, this is one of the better ones for dim sum and warrants a visit.

This review and rating are mainly based on my experiences for Dim Sum on weekdays. I was very very hesitant when we decided to try this place for the very first time because of the mixed reviews, but we took the chance anyways. I have now been here at least 5 – 7 times for Dim Sum and every time it has been wonderful!
Our favorite items to get are: fried pork potstickers (they are HUGE and so good), baby curried squid (love this so much), fried pork dumplings (sweet & meat, the guys love this stuff), shumai, shrimp & chives dumpling, beef meatballs, shrimp ball (warning: do not dip it in the red sauce-​that stuff is fishy and just unpleasant), & shrimp rice roll. You must get the shumai and potstickers. Both have tasty and moist chunks of pork and shrimp and seasoned perfectly!
Sometimes the sticky wrapped rice can be good, but other times it’s just bland and not steamed long enough. The bean curd roll is okay here, but not great.
I’ve only ordered off the Hong Kong Menu since the waitress steered me to it. She flat out said it was better food haha. I think she could tell I was not in the mood for American-​Chinese that day. I got a Beef Fried Noodles with bok choy dish and this was yummy as well.
There have been some mishaps here and there with Golden Wok, but overall, it is pretty darn good. I’d definitely say come here for dim sum on the weekdays for lunch with a few co-​workers or friends! It does seem that they are better for dim sum on the weekdays than on weekends, which is kind of odd. Maybe it is because it is slower on weekdays and that they are able to take their time to make the food right and it seems fresher too.

I’ve been here numerous times for dinner, and food has been largely pretty consistent; nothing amazing, but nothing terribly repulsive. Service, like others have mentioned, are really hit or miss. It really depends on who you get. If you value service, then this might not be the place for you, but yet again, at most Chinese establishments, service isn’t a #1 priority.
The last time I was here was for dim sum. It was Husband and I’s first time trying out their dim sum. We don’t live that far, but somehow, it took us quite some time to make it out here to try out their dim sum.
The verdict? Not bad, really just A-​OK. The standouts were the pork and mushroom tofu bean curd roll, pork dumplings (shao mai), fried shrimp balls. The pan-​fried turnip radish cake (luo bo gao) was terrible, so don’t order that. Dry and too stiff with no flavor, it tasted like you were eating chalk. I cringe just thinking about it. The shrimp dumplings (xia jiao) while good in size and filling, the outside skin was too thick and fell apart once you picked it up. There were also no bamboo shoots mixed in with the shrimp filling, so that made the taste of it have less dimension and texture.
I’d be willing to try out their other dim sum options another time, but it’s not something I’m rushing back for. It’s a good place if you happen to be in the area.
