2023-05-01 22:48:17I had lunch special on Sunday (they charge additional $2 for weekends.) I got good food for a reasonable price: shrimp, soup, and egg roll. The food was tasty. Would go back again.

2023-11-06 02:18:37Hey guys I ordered orange chicken was falling apart (literally the breaded part of it was just hanging off like literally peeled), broccoli beef (drenched in oil and broccoli was overdone), fried rice ( no flavor) and shrimp vegetables (drenched in oil and maybe like 4 shrimp on the dish). Also, I ordered the chicken nugget combo meal with fries (Big disappointment, couldn’t even make the chicken nuggets right). Will definitely not be buying or coming back ever again. So much for Sunday take out. They said wait time was 10-15 min, try more like 30-45minute wait. If I could give 0 as a score, I would.

2023-02-14 19:18:14Food was ok. Nothing that special. Soup was scalding hot. Great on a cold windy day. The chow mein was with those thick noodles, that personally, I don’t care for. Kung Pao chicken was spicy and flavorful. All in all, not a bad place for Chinese in Salinas, but not my favorite Chinese food.

2023-09-14 20:53:07It was a take out order, so service and atmosphere doesn’t really apply.I used to love this place and had high hopes for when it changed hands, but dude! What happened to your Egg Fu Yung?? It was once your “go to” dish is now a deep fried bready brick. The gravy is still excellent, but are you guys ok?? The lemon chicken has agree flavor, but instead of clusters, they are cutlets that breading falls apart. The flavor and vegs are great for Kung Pow, but had a weird texture. The Mongolian beef is improved but isn’t amazing. Please go back to your previous cook or recipe!! I’d rather sit in a dated dinning room and enjoy delicious Chinese food, than a nice dinning room with over priced mediocre menu. I really want to continue to support you. I’ll try again in 6 months for lunch. Not doing this again for dinner.

2023-08-27 01:51:30Sweet and sour chicken is sweet and sour breading. If there is any chicken in there its dried out & taste like the dry overcooked breading. Beef broccoli you get 90% broccoli 10% beef. Only good thing was the fortune cookie.

2023-06-14 17:32:10Love the food here- large portions too! Easier to order over the phone than online though if you’re trying to figure out what deal to get. Best Egg Foo Young around.. used to get free order of sesame balls with large order but not anymore..

2023-01-24 03:54:00Excellent experience. We took our 10 yr old grandson. We all loved it; the food, hot tea, the service, the comfortable seating. The waiter couldnt have been more attentive and the cook even came out to see how we were doing. My husband didnt stop talking about how it was the best Chinese food hed ever had and my grandson tried to remember the name so his parents would take him there. Thank you Golden Star. Well be back, even though we dont live in Salinas. Its worth the 40 minute drive though.

2023-01-24 04:00:04Best Chinese food I have ever eaten. Ordered the single person plate dinner and was stuffed; so good that I ate every bit. Tony, our waiter was excellent and very attentive. He was always smiling and making sure we were happy with our meal and the service. The cook even came to our table to see how we liked our food. I highly recommend it.
