Gold Coin Restaurant

Good enough, best Chinese in Delmar though the bar is low. We enjoy take out occasionally. The odd thing about this place is the wonton soup. The broth is bland and the wontons either have almost no (or in some cases literally none at all) meat. All noodle.

We were VERY happy with our meal. Service was attentive and full of personality. We had dim sum, and orange flavored beef which were both amazing. Portuons are huge — enough for another lunch for two at home. It is a nice little gem outside of the over crowded and often overrated Albany scene.

We order from Gold Coin about twice a month, or more when we’re really busy. It is fast, friendly, and delicious. They have no problem with «special orders» like adding some extra spice or whipping up a special that might not be current. Overall the best Chinese food in the area, by a long long long shot.

i can’t believe i haven’t written a review for gold coin yet since my husband and i get takeout pretty much once a week and have been doing this for at least a couple of years now. i love this place. the food is always fresh. we always make special requests and at this point the wonderful staff knows how we request our food. the spare ribs are thick and big and juicy. the eggplant and garlic is pretty much sinful and since i usually get dishes that are heavy on the veggies i can say the veggies are fresh, bright and crispily prepared. i love the staff. they are friendly, efficient and they clearly care about their service. i SO recommend gold coin!

Four stars, for what it is. Gold Coin is not authentic Chinese food. Don’t go there and expect Shining Rainbow or Ala Shanghai. Gold Coin is the locally owned solution to PF Changs. It’s Americanized Chinese food in a swanky, clean sit down restaurant with a decent cocktail and wine list. Service is always professional and quick. The menu is not imaginative, but comforting in that it’s familiar.
What to get? We tend to get the standards but the beef and broccoli is particularly good. It had a distinct ginger flavor that many brown Chinese sauces miss. Orange beef is also great. The fried rice is really the star of the place: real rice, fried with egg and pork. It’s not yellow rice, but real and actual fried rice.
So why four stars for a restaurant every town in America has? First, the staff is friendly and over the past two years made a true effort to know us. It’s always very clean. Staff is accommodating as well. They have in the past given us lunch sized portions for dinner… And charged us for only the smaller portion. They have created combo plates for things not on the combo menu. Second, it’s reasonably priced. And finally, I just like it.

Excellent service. Fresh crunchy noodles friendly staff Food– generally good. Atmosphere pleasant. Prices very reasonable. Better than other Chinese in. Delmar.

Solid Chinese food and great for take-​out and delivery. Good American-​ized Chinese food Pay no attention to the hot pepper review and Chinese noodle translation review etc. – this place is solid. Dumplings are great, General Tso’s chicken fabulous. If you want more raw Asian food, go to Taiwan Noodle. This is for your everyday, on-​the-​way-​home-​from-​work meal.

The literal translation of chow mein (chao mian) is fried noodles. We were told if we wanted noodles we should have ordered lo mein. Odd.

Gold Coin is an excellent Chinese restaurant-​high quality food and friendly customer service. I recommend it.

This place is great if you only like fried rice. Everyone in my office really liked it, including me. However, if you want anything else to have flavor, order from someplace else. Their chicken with garlic sauce is supposed to be spicy but tasted watered down and flavorless. And don’t even bother ordering an egg roll because they are soggy. And I’ve tried them multiple times. I’ll order again if I want only fried rice.

Man, I am so close to giving this place two stars. If it was a takeout only place, that would be fine. That’s the quality of the food, basically. This is the kind of place where I need not fear the hot pepper icon. I ordered what sounded like the hottest thing on the menu (chicken with hot pepper sauce and peanuts), and it was still only mild. Flavor was okay. Companion did not like her oily eggplant and garlic dish at all. The leftovers were helped with garlic chile sauce and fish sauce at home. Other dishes at the table included some very doughy vegetable dumplings.
What annoys me most is that this is a sit-​down restaurant. It’s actually a nice place inside. That makes the food stand out even more as sub-​par. You know what? I am giving this place two stars.

Ordered delivery. Pleasant experience ordering, and the food was delivered promptly. Unfortunately that’s the all of the nice things I can say about Gold Coin. The food looked like Chinese food, but it had no flavor. To call this food bland is an understatement.

This was a fantastic find! It’s located inconspicuously next to a gas station and it really doesn’t look like much from the outside. However, the inside of the restaurant is very nice and the décor is very inviting. The menu is typical Chinese food, but it’s the quality of the food that truly stands out.
We got take-​out a few weeks back and we were blown away. The General Tso’s chicken was all white meat and very crispy in a spicy, delicious sauce; it didn’t have that super sweet, thick sauce that you typically find and I was very, very satisfied with my meal. The pork lo mein was delicious as well and the noodles were cooked perfectly. An added bonus — we got two regular fortune cookies and one chocolate one too!
Never in a million years did I think I’d find some of the best take-​out Chinese I’ve ever had in my life in little Slingerlands, NY. The food was amazing, the prices were great and on par with ordinary take-​out Chinese, and the portions were extremely generous. Bottom line — you get quality food at a great price here. I highly, highly recommend!

Very nice Chinese restaurant. The place is very clean and the food is consistently good. Staff is friendly and accommodating. We eat here frequently… You can’t go wrong here.

I am a regular at Gold Coin. My family and I eat there probably about once a week.
The ambience at Gold Coin is welcoming and comfortable. The building was remodeled a few years ago, and the interior is warm and pleasant. Bathrooms, bar and dining room are always impeccably clean and well maintained.
The employees are very friendly and attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Service is always fast, but never rushed.
The menu contains many standard american-​chinese menu items, and they have recently started having dinner and appetizer specials. I tend to want things that aren’t on the menu, and the kitchen has always been amazingly accommodating, creating tasty fresh dishes for me.
The dumplings are house made, and are among the best to be had in the area, particularly the hong-​kong dumplings they’ve had as a special recently.
There’s something very comforting about going to Gold Coin. When I want to go out and know for a fact that I’m going to have a pleasant experience, Gold Coin is where I head.
Oh yeah, and they make a mean Mai Tai :)

Typical of the genre of Chinese American restaurants, but with all the bests. Courteous owners, good eat-​in space, and a diverse menu.
I love the mooshu and the egg Fu.
