This is my go to for the absolute best Asian food in Greensboro. Even when I just want a little bite this place is perfect. Stopped in today after Christmas shopping and had an egg roll and some amazing wonton soup. The best in town. Don't just take my word. Try them.
Since my first visit/review a month ago, I've been here once a week. My goal is to try new things every time I come. So far we've had the sesame chicken, crab Rangoon, (another) general tso, and tonight was chicken shrimp in garlic sauce with lo mein. 10/10 for everything, every time. My friend got chicken lo mein and said it was the best one she ever had. Consistently the best place. See you next week, thank you!
Best Chinese food in the city! We don't get to come here as often since moving out of town but grab some food here whenever we can! Basic diner vibe but friendly staff and outstanding food!
It's good. My first try with them last night I'd probably rare 3 stars but I'm granting that there would be a bit of a decline in quality from traveling a half hour home from work and sitting a bit. Good flavor, but I wouldn't say they're as good as Jade Garden, so that still has my lead. Solid though if you live closer by. Food was done quickly, even despite being dinner rush on a Friday. Food is packed in tin foil containers, so I'm not sure what that other reviewer is talking about with not being wasteful. Good egg rolls. Wish they still did shrimp toast and had chow fun with the thick noodles. Hard to find those around here. I'd get them again if I was gonna have locally, but otherwise I wouldn't call it my go-to spot.
Just got home from vacation and made sure to call ahead as I came in town. Perfect and amazing food as always!
The food is fantastic. I had house fried rice without chicken but with extra pork and additional eggs (extra charge). It was delicious and there the number of shrimp was generous. The pork egg roll was tasty, too, and they're larger than the average pork egg rolls at other restaurants, and fresher tasting. I took away one star because they offer an inferior "soy sauce" in those ugly little clear packets. I tried to tell the guy at the cashier and he had no clue. It's not even soy sauce...it's made of water, corn syrup and caramel color! There probably isn't a soybean within miles of the manufacturing plant where they make these awful things. So the message from Golden Wok is, "Here's your delicious food. Now enjoy it by drizzling it with water and corn syrup." They need to get some Kikkoman packets in there. For that reason, I'll always order takeout OR bring my own SOY sauce with me.
Golden Wok Restaurant is an amazing hole-in-the-wall spot to satisfy your Asian food cravings. I decided to give them a try around 10 PM, and despite the late hour, the place was packed inside and super busy. It's clear that this restaurant is a local favorite, and for good reason. I initially ordered chow mein, but the server quickly informed me that it was just boiled veggies, which wasn't what I had in mind. They helped me out and suggested the lo mein instead. The service was quick, and I was soon enjoying a delicious meal. The lo mein was flavorful, with perfectly cooked noodles and a generous amount of fresh veggies and meat. The portion size was impressive, especially considering the reasonable price. The interior of Golden Wok is pretty basic, but it adds to the charm of the place. It's clear that the focus here is on delivering great food rather than fancy decor. The simple setting makes it feel like a hidden gem, and the bustling atmosphere adds to the dining experience. If you're looking for delicious Asian cuisine with quick service and great value, Golden Wok is the place to go.
This place has been a favorite for Chinese food in this area as long as I've been in Greensboro, since 1994. Family run and they will roll out the red carpet for you for sure. They will all remember your order, your name and how you like your food prepared, if any special requests. The food is always fresh and flavorful. The prices are very reasonable for what to get. My fave is the diced chicken and shrimp with broccoli and the general Tso's chicken. Just come in and see John or Eddie at the front and their hospitality and food will make you want to come back. The restaurant is clean and simple. Seating is good for a quick dinner or lunch. It can get quite busy so I prefer carry-out Check the hours as they do try and have a life outside the restaurant Treat yourself!
I was in the plaza doing some shopping and decided to grab something in before calling it a night. As I departed from Ross, Golden Wok caught my eye so I decided to hear over! Before walking in, you could see the cleanliness of the restaurant from the outside. It's super bright with vibrant colors which adds to the curb appeal and draws you in. Upon arriving at the county I was immediately greeted and presented with a menu. As I figured out what I wanted, the aromas of fresh garlic and the sounds of rice being fried captured my attention and made me even more hungry. LoL!!! Deciding on the General Tso Chicken combo and substituting the Vegetable Fried Rice for Pork Fried Rice, I placed my order and took a seat, paid, and took a seat. As I was waiting for my food, I could tell it was going to be a good dish. People were in and out picking up their orders and you could tell by how they interacted with the cashier that they were repeat customers. This is always a good sign. Upon receiving my food I was once again captured by the aroma. This time it was the aromas of General Tso Chicken and a fresh out of the grease Pork Egg Roll!! Oh yeah... Let's Eat!!! Upon opening my tray the visual alone let me know this was going to be a good eat. LoL. The General Tso Chicken was perfectly made. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The sauce has a perfect level of spice with a hint of sweet. I'm talking goooooooddddddddd. Truly a 10 out of 10. The Pork Fried Rice wasn't dry, had the perfect golden fried color and tender meaty chunks of pork. The Pork Egg Roll was packed full of fresh fixings and fried to golden egg roll perfection. I truly enjoyed my Golden Wok experience. If you're in the area and looking for something with great quality, great flavors, and filling... You must stop in.
