If your local Chinese carryout had a baby with Panda Express, this would be the result. Better value and larger portions... & I do like the Panda. Give these guys a try, maybe not for the pickiest amongst us.. (& they have the Hot Oil! That P.E. doesnt offer!)

The food smelled like cleaning product/chemicals especially the sweet and sour sauce and tasted gross. Did not feel safe eating it and threw it out. Never going to buy anything from this place again.

This place is in Lake Elsinore, California. This is the first time Ive been to this establishment. After looking at the Big Advertised menu Items I ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice, and asked for a small stack of napkins, Was only given three (3).When my order was ready, which came out Hot 🔥, I asked the same young counter order taker for more napkins, and explained that with having a beard, I need more food debris removal tools. The young girl, put me off, by saying, shed get me more in a few minutes. Thankfully, the seasoned, and Honorable lady who was quick to provide me with what I had requested.The Shrimp Fried Rice was good, having nine (9) Shrimp that are devained, and peaked, and has a multitude of vegetables, which remained hot while I was writing this review, and eating.

Been a costumer for a decade and won’t go anywhere else!! The eggplant tofu is the most delicious ever.

Food is terrible. Specially the orange chicken I didnt find a single piece of chicken. Its only fried flour with orange flavor. The other chicken items look way too dark to be chicken. Makes you think is something else. I ordered it to go and had to dump it in the trash can. Rice is under cooked. I will never go back there again.

I’ve been coming here for years it’s always hot, fresh and flavorful. I am a vegetarian, so I typically get eggplant tofu, but they have made me tofu, vegetable special order as well. If I get it in the dinner with rice and noodles it is an extra dollar per serving of the special order but it’s worth it. It can also be ordered à la cart.

This was my first visit to Golden Chopstix. I ordered fried rice. As I carried the food to my car, the pungent odor of the food was awful. It didn’t have that usual sweet, delicious fragrance of fried rice. When I tried to eat it, the rice was deeply saturated with garlic and soy and tasted quite vinegary. I really tried to eat the rice because I didn’t want to waste it, but after maybe ten bites I couldn’t tolerate the bitter taste and smell of the food, and I threw the entire serving down the garbage disposal. (There goes $11, right down the drain!) I’ve enjoyed Chinese food all over the world and USA, and I’ve never before stuffed fried rice down a garbage disposal. Until now.

Super yummy, like really yummy!! We had the orange chicken, wings, BBQ pork, pineapple beef with the rice and chow mein. Really fresh and we came in the early afternoon. We’ve been craving Chinese food for months and this hit the spot. Looking forward to coming back here again!

The food was okay and so was the service. Nothing stood out as either exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. The price is good for what you get. The place was clean considering it was busy during my visit. They have limited dine-in capacity.

Best Chinese Food in Lake Elsinore. Hands down! Their food is always fresh. Their service is on point as well. Further, if you ask, theyll have the cooks customize your order the way you specify to the detail. The place is always clean (which is a big factor for me in choosing to eat Chinese food). Even their kitchen is really clean. You can see it while youre ordering. Its family owned and operated, so you know the quality is on point. Everyone is very friendly. Been going here for years. If youre in Lake Elsinore and in the mood for Chinese food, this is your place. Their Shrimp Chow Main is the best Ive ever had!

Worst Chinese food I ever tasted.. I ordered the entree dinner.. teriyaki chicken, broccoli beef, Kung pao chicken.. it is all trash.. the flavors are not what any of it is supposed to taste like.. Save your money.. I wish I had..

Yesterday my mom went to this restaurant and ordered a plate of rice and green bean chicken.. when she took a bite of the chicken it smelled bad, and when she opened the chicken it was rotten . The staff knew because when my mom went to go complain the cashier got scared and red. and the chefs also got very nervous and offered her new cooked food and my mom refuse anymore food and got a full refund.

I actually give this place a 5-star rating. The place is clean, the food tastes really good, and the price is reasonable, especially considering how they pile on the food. I am placing one star here in case anyone is concerned about COVID-19 practices (otherwise, no one would see it). The employees upfront do not wear face masks all the time; last time I went one had nothing at all and the other had a face shield. Just as a heads up for those who really need to know before visiting because of health concerns. I am not aware of the guidelines or policies for restaurant employees.

Food was pretty good especially for coming in 15 minutes before they closed. The lady thar worked there was nice the younger girl was rude and refused tip of 8 quarters and handful of dimes.. The POS system didnt allow for a tip and I didnt have any paper money.

Really good chinese food at reasonable prices. For example, 1-item combo is only $6.50. rice and/or noodles. Simple, easy, fast, great service. They occasionally get lines during lunch or dinner hours -- but they still manage to get you out quickly. Dine-in is available. A little oily, sometimes, on the fried rice and noodles. Good entree selection. Also good soup selections.

Best Chinese that tastes like the places at LA!Ive gone here with my gf and our families many times and the food has always been so good here. The staff almost always have smiles on their faces and take their customers seriously. They can talk in their own language often but they mostly chatter and its usually things they ask each other. Some customers are dramatic thinking they talk rudely about them but its sad to say that theyre only trying their best to serve every order they get.Egg Chow Mein is a bomb must try! (Ignore the smell, its worth it!)Personally the best special at the place and its a whole days meal! :) its Chinese food, not some grease free food! Cant complain about it if thats what the food is!

I love that they always accommodate my crazy requests. I never order off the line. I like the fun chow. Or the combination fried rice spicy. The egg foo young is amazing.

We like to get the house combination fried rice or shrimp fried rice. The portions are ample and the customer service is great. Clean place, good food and order something on the menu because its worth it.Elton B

The food is okay (chowmein, rice, teriyaki) but the service keeps getting worse. My family and I have gone for years, and it’s always the same the older female (maybe the owner/management) is always ANGRY and the tall cashier with the glasses ANNOYED and ignores you. There is a shorter (maybe 4’11) server who is very nice other than her is very uncomfortable. (sorry no name tags) We wont BE COMING BACK to their Lake Elsinore location to tolerate their moody faces and horrible attitude.

A few days ago I had to getA delivery for door dashAnd it was the worst experience Ive ever had there. There were 3 people ahead of me and when the last person was done, nobody even looked at me while I was still standing there. I had to say, AM I iNVISIBLE? Im here to get that door dashright thrre . The little girl got the bag and then started listening to another conversation and stopped walking over to me. I had to go and rip the bag out of her hands. Whrre us the management? You need to teach these incompetent workers to be professional and alert and do their job. Its unbelievable how they can even be employed!

I ordered a beef and broccoli for pick up and I received a little container that normally rice would come in and no rice! $6.99 for a tiny container of beef and broccoli and no rice at that price is ridiculous. I have ordered beef and broccoli from other restaurants around the world and have never been given an order without the rice.

This was similar to the Panda Express and let you pick your items. The servings are much bigger and the price was a lot less. The food was also delicious. They were very friendly. The facility was clean as a whistle.

I went in to get food the young lady behind The counter was very rude I asked her for a extra bowl and she yelled at me saying thats a extra fifty cents so I said ok then when she ringed up my food she snatched the money out of my hand. I Told her she was rude and to give me my money back she threw the money at me. Words exchanged before I could leave she branched a silver chopping knife police was called she admitted to pulling the knife on me and I dont want to say what happened next I hope shes not on a visa or trying to getcitizenship because shell never get it. Because now your a crimal. No Im not dropping the charges

A pretty good area if you want to get some Chinese food and get on the run. Not as good as Chinese buffets or restaurants but still pretty good. Especially since you could stop by, get some Chinese food,.and continue on your trip, kind of like a fast food restaurant.
