    I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant this week and I will tell you best food ever. I can not wait to travel back to this town I am ordering a lot. The next morning I reheated my leftovers and I promise you it taste just like it did when I purchased it the day before. The food was amazing and even the owners were extremely nice. I will definitely be back during my travels.

    We were pleasantly surprised with the quality upgrade.. for a while it’s been poor and haven’t ordered in a year. Not sure if owner/mgmt changed but everything was perfect and fast! They offer a caramelized onion fried rice that’s awesome

    Best Chinese restaurant in the state. Nobody compares. Nobody. I wish they’d open locations in other cities.

    The food was excellent. Service very friendly. Portions were larger than expected. Atmosphere, you can eat in but very small space. Typical "to go" restaurant. Though still quaint and appealing. I recommend for portion and flavor

    I have lived in Enfield all of my life, moved to Rocky Mount in 2011 and I can honestly say that this food is the best I have ever had. Mai and her family are good people who have mastered the art of cooking Chinese food. Don't listen to negative people, try the food, promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you Golden China for all your years of service, I hope you will prosper.

    Some of the best fast Chinese I've ever had. I love this place! Everytime I come to Enfield this is a must have. The lady at the counter is super friendly, too.
