Golden Chicken Inn in Oxnard

I wish the company would change the name. The new owners have completely changed the original recipes. The one weve all known and love for decades.They no longer have combo meals. Everything you order has to be by el a carte. And it gets insanely expensive. 75 dollars for ordering 4 items to share with a family of 3.God Im gonna miss golden chicken inns yummy eggrolls they use to make.The egg flower soup was okay but too much pepper, made it taste spicy.The crunchy noodles for our soup was stale.Given water with no ice.Their sweet and sour pork are no longer those little soft breaded balls. But I do admit it was still pretty good. Just differentTheir Pork fried rice was pretty great. Just differentTheir green beans was pretty good!And their beef chow fun was great as well.Over all, the food was pretty good, but too expensive to be spending 11 to 16 dollars a plate to share.Also the service was absolutely horrendous. Our waiter, some young woman with black hair had zero personality. She aggressively tossed our menus on our table and walked away. Took a while for her to come back and when she walks in she just stares at you and doesnt say anything. Even everytime we said thank you, she never responds. When we paid she didnt thank us for coming in. Didnt say goodbye or have a good day. Just rude and didnt make us feel welcomed at all. She looked like she was dead inside and hated her job. For that reason alone we probably wont come back, food was good tho not gonna lie. Good service is everything and if you dont got it, it makes you not wanna go back. Maybe well order take out lol. One day.

Its a hole in the wall u dont want to miss! The service was excellent! However, these are new owners for the past few years & it shows in the flavor & presentation not better not worse just different.

No access ♿ you have to walk up the stairs for dine in or to order. Its a cute little spot you get your private dining table. Service was great, very attentive, fast and friendly

We were a little disappointed that our food didn’t look and taste the same as it used to. We got take out and had no idea there was new owners until we saw our food and realized it looked different and the taste was different. The egg flower soup was thick and had no flavor. The pork fried rice is not the same pork fried rice it was before and didn’t taste as good as it used to be. The shrimp chop suey didn’t have all the veggies it used to have but the taste was good. The Kung pao chicken was good a little spicier.I grew up eating at this restaurant.We will miss the old restaurant!

Fresh made always delicious and fast serving and the lowest prices in town this is our weekly resturant we go to. All the food you see was less than $20.00 for the meal for two.

I actually thought this little hole in the wall joint may have been a hidden gem walking in on my way to pick up a delivery order. But after sitting up there for over 20 minutes waiting for the food, with only one other table of two in the entire place, my hopes and dreams were dashed. I don’t think they even started my order until after I arrived and no one communicated with me about how long it was going to take. I was sadly disappointed and after that experience I won’t be trying this place.

Since the owner change over the food is not good and the prices are way too high. I know the cost of food has gone up, but its not worth it for what you get. Its a shame since I had been eating there since the 70s and my grandparents since the 40s. An end of an era!

Extremely disappointed. The chicken chow mein with soft noodles was palatable. It lacked flavor, but was okay. Spring rolls were good. The wonton soup was absolutely horrific and unedible. There was absolutely no chicken stock in there, it looked as if they poured hot water over stale tasting wontons. I was unable to eat this and had to discard it. Waste of money for overpriced food. Its a shame because the young man behind the counter was super nice. Will not be back.

Mom, who is 96yrs young considers this one of her best restaurants, great choices for meals, portions are good & satisfying, on 2nd floor with stair access only, parking is an issue.

Great food.The places from my understanding is been here for a few generations. And they keep putting out great food. Its a family run business and the main owners might not be there but family members keep on trying to make sure they put out the best possible food and service for their customers. Thank you fot the great food & service.
