Give it a try – I have visited this restaurant many times over the years. I have never had a bad food experience here. In fact, I believe it is some of the best Chinese food on the Eastside. As other reviewers however, there were times where the service was slow or the kitchen very backed up. I last visited on July 9 and the service was much better. Perhaps they read the reviews here, I don' t know. But the service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. Since the food was very good as always, I'd recommend that people give it ... read more

I'll never go there again – Rated a 1 because 0 and negative numbers are not an option. I visited this restaurant in November of 2009 and I have to suspect that the positive reviews are planted by friends and family. My wife and I spent $100+ for our anniversary dinner here because we love chinese food (one of our most commonly purchased foot categories in the last 30 years) and expected by location and appearance we could get some spectacular food here. We got the food to go so we could enjoy our meal peacefully in a park. ... read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant! – Looking at the dates of the low-star reviews below, I encourage everyone to give Golden Chopsticks a chance... things must have changed since then! Golden Chopsticks is hands-down the best Chinese restaurant in town. A lot of the complaints below talk about terrible service, however the servers here are GREAT! There always seem to be two women who talk and joke around with us all the time... very very nice. The FOOD is why we keep coming back! The first time I went there I tried Princess Pra... read more

save your money – I was a bit reluctant to try this place. I should have trusted my instincts. We had immediate seating but there were only three other tables with customers. The water came quickly and the order was eventually taken. After reading the other reviews, I feel lucky, the food only took 35 minutes to come instead of the average 45-minute usual time. During the wait, the server never came to check on us. We ordered three dishes and were disappointed with two. We had the Honey Walnut Prawns, they were on par with o... read more

Horrific Service – My husband and I went to see a movie. Afterwards, we were hungry so we decided to go try the Golden Chopsticks which was just across from the theater. The decor was nice. The menu seemed good. The waiter took our order right away, and poured our water and tea. And then we sat. And sat. And sat. 45 minutes later, no one had even come by to check on us, nor was there so much as a bowl of soup in sight. My husband went to get our waiter who only shrugged dismissively when we asked how long the food would be. ... read more

The surroundings are stylish, but the fare doesn't rise above standard. – The Scene This modern Chinese restaurant takes its cue from current decorating trends: cement floors, sleek tables, golden walls and an open kitchen that puts the chefs--and the takeout boxes--on display. At lunchtime, shoppers and local workers fill the tables, keeping servers in formal tux shirts scurrying, but at dinner it's mostly quiet. The Food Golden Chopsticks covers all the family-style favorites, including tempting fried wontons filled with a... read more

Worst dining experience I've had in a long time – It will be easier to start out by listing the things that were done right. The rice and the hot & sour soup were acceptable. The water was good. No, I said the WATER, the WAITER was terrible. We did not have to wait long for service as we were the only two in the restaurant and were outnumbered by staff more than two to one (this at 9 on a Saturday evening...) The tea service consisted of the cutest china I've ever seen. Now the rest. I heard no complaints from my friend abou... read more

HORRIBLE Service - AVOID! – I've eaten at Golden Chopsticks twice before - both times the service very slow and inattentive - 15 minutes to even get water. During the third (and last ever) visit, we got rice and soup within 15 minutes, but 45 minutes later, the main course hadn't arrived. I hunted down a waitress (no one had even bothered stopping by during those 45 minutes), but 15 minutes later, still no food. We finally decided to leave, and instead of showing us any sort of courtesy, the proprietor angrily demanded payme... read more
