Golden China Hakka Restaurant

excellent

We go to Golden China often nor matter good or bad comments people gave. When coming to customer service you don't expect 100% in North America. Probably home cooking will be best to satisfy your stomach and expectancy.
We would rate this restaurant excellent food.

We go to many Hakka and Chinese places, as this is our preferred cuisine and of all of them Golden China is our favourite. I find no fault with the service, but as with many busy restaurants of this size and type it is the food and not the service that keeps you coming back (i.e. Lin Gardens). The food keeps us coming back here again and again and although we still visit many of the other restaurants I would give Golden China the highest rating.

The food is tast as it is full of MSG, be ready for quick washroom visits and upset stomachs. Not a place to go!

Looking for halal foods, not this place to go, they are not halal at all!

Golden China by far has the best Chili Chicken that I have had anywhere, and I've eaten at all the well knowns (Lin Garden, Federicks, SinoPino, Imperial Garden etc.). Try it on the fried rice with extra chili, you won't be disappointed!

Not surprised - the recent comments are self explanatory!

very bad food - even the chinese fried rice was horrible. the american chop suey was not sweet and sour, total disappointment and a waste of money. sorry we decided to try this place out on family day

The food from this restaurant was very disappointing! so much for family day dinner (

Is this restaurant still open!

Have you been recently - try it again! Too less a people, bad behavoir persists!

After seeing all the reviews recently, I'm not going anymore!

Too much MSG - more the reason for upset stomach. Upon enquiry, they get very upset and their customer service is real bad!

their service sucked *****

We bought manchurian chicken, hakka noodle and soup - the quality was bad and had upset stomach for 2 days!

We personally went to Golden China, asked them to produce receipt for their claim that they serve Halal Foods, they didn't had one handy! Makes you wonder why?

I'm totally disappointed by their claim that they server Halal Food - when asked to produce the receipt, they were unable to! Halal Food consumers are advised not to go to any Hakka Chinese restaurant as a good majority (90%) of them claims, but in reality they don't, while charging the premium price - enjoying the double dip, while they could!

Excellent hakka food. The best I have tasted. Clean restaurant and very good service. Excellent restaurant

We are not going there at all - obvious reason! Halal food is on display only, they are not buying halal meat at all!

They just claim about halal food - they do not serve halal meat! Please be aware if you really want to eat halal meat!

Excellent food

Outstanding customer service

Best restaurant thus far !!!!!!

I think the Islamic Society is looking into the claims by the owner that it's Halal, infact they DON'T server halal at all just the display on the Windows only. They mentioned that they buy from Sargent Farms and upon enquiring, it was revealed that they never bought from them.

This restaurant doesn't serve Halal at all and it's time for them to remove the display!

The quality of the food has gone down in the recent past, as well as the customer service!

Something has gone wrong with their menu, it doesn't taste good anymore and you can see the frustration on the owners face - annoyance!

Exellent food

Exellent service

Keep it up folks !!!!!!

Very poor customer service!

HALAL FOOD ADMIRERS

Golden China claims that they serve HALAL Foods - consumers beaware. I called them and they said they get all the meat from Sargent Farms and if you ask them for the phone no., this is where they get very rude. In a very un-polite manner they either say 'go to internet' or being very dumb, they hang-up! Wow, what a courtesy!

Anyway, I called Sargent Farms (905) 878-4401 and they mentioned that Golden China is not a customer.

Friends - if you want to eat Halal Foods, please don't go them at all. For that matter Tangerine is also a big cheat - according to Sargent Farms, they dealt with them last in 2007.

All these Chinese Hakka Restaurants are fake in terms of Halal Food. Do not go to them unless they display a certified and upto date Halal Certificate.

Good luck.

Very bad customer service

Enjoyed the food there... pakoras are just sooo good....

Their Crispy Beef is very very good!...

Their soup is good as well ... try thier Speacial soup... is full of seafood ... REAL CRABMEAT AND SHRIMPS... IT'S REALLY GOOD...
Try their stir fried green beans, it's absolutely great... crunchy and spicy.

Their service is average. OK! compared to others... so no complaints.

Recently I had a big catering done from Golden China and I must say their food

tasted the best so far, very satisfied and appreciated their cordial

hospitality.

Good job well done

Way to go !!!!!

Golden china has the best crab corn soup (made with fake crab) and chicken pakoras. That's all I order when I go because they make it so well.

I've had several of their meat dishes as well and they're also very good.
Tangerine has better chili chicken though.

I don't understand the complaints about the people.
They're very nice people (unlike tangerine), although the service lacks because of the lack of staff.

We recently had dinner at this restaurant and were very disappointed. The soup didn't tase anything like soup. This is nothing compared to Lin Garden or Federicks. I will avoid it.

Good Food

Especially their Pakoras,

Crispy beef

Chilli Chicken

Manchurian or Szechuan Chowmein

Fried rice

HOt garlic Chicken/shrimp/Fish

Their Fish dishes are awesome.

Good service

Neat


Clean


... and Comfy.

Loved the food, very fresh, quality and quantity was good for the price I paid. If the food is good for a reasonalbe price why complain about the service. I would go there again and again. Best in Town!

best hakka food in town, second to none !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hakka food at its best. Two thumps ups.

Very friendly service, on my second visit the male server recognised

me and even remembered my food order before I ordered.

Now every time I go for lunch they know exactly what I want to

order. Must say I felt Very impressive.



When I took some of my friends to dine in, they made me feel


very welcome. All my friends enjoyed the food. And they thanked


me for introducing them to such a nice restaurant.

excellent food and service, highly recommended. Good Hakka restaurant for dine-in or take out A+++++

The Best Pakoras... Cripsy beef and Hakka chow mein... in Town!..

Beware!! Picked up take-out today they packed it so badly and blamed it on me!I parked my car lifted the plastic bag while all the gravy starting spilling out the bottom in my car!! Called them and they said there is nothing they can do about it. They placed a heavy item on something full of gravy it all leaked out!! They hung up on me when I called to complain. Horrible customer service!!!

simply the best..chilli chicken, manchurian chicken and chicken chow mein is the best!! really recommend it!!! Price is good. very clean and polite staff

I am from the same place as these owners are from, Calcutta and I have to admit that in the 5 years I have lived here, there is no Indian Hakka restaurant that even comes close to this restaurants authenticity of Indian Hakka cuisine. These guys are basically imports from India. There are many restaurants that try to conjure up this cuisine, but dont too close to the real deal. Over the few visits I have had shrimp fried rice, seafood soup, chicken pakora, sweet corn soup, chicken chow mein, hot garlic shrimp, chilli chicken, shrimp with mixed vegetables, chicken with vegetables. All were unbelievably perfect. Honestly, as I was jotting down those dishes, I could hear my stomach murmur!!

The service was not too pleasant. The food came before the plates and bowls! It seems like they are always short on staff. I dont think they even have waiters. They get their kitchen people to do the front end work too. I think if they hire even one waiter, the service could improve trifold.

The service lacks, I can sympathize that cuz this is just a hole in the restaurant hakka joint which serves the best Indian hakka food in North America. You dont come here to be pampered with maitre-d's and waiters, you come here to revisit your favorite Hakka Chinese restaurant in Tangra.

excellent food
good value for money
courteous service
A ++++++

Excellent food and friendly service.
Amazing staff they speak impeccable english and fluent hindi. Made me feel like home.

Dined there last week with family and friends. The food was delicious, very fresh and the quantity is very good therefore the price is very reasonable. enjoyed their crispy beef, Manchurian chicken and the pakoras are really good freshly fried (not frozen and prefried), Speacial stir fried bean is really good. A MUST TRY!

Good food... lunch specials very reasonable and good... service is average. Very neat and clean.

good food but service without smile spoiles the taste!!!! Lot of attitude!!

AWESOME HAKKA RESTAURANT EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Today tried their BOMBAY CHICKEN!... it's terrific...good blend of chinese and indian flavor!... it' was just sooooo delicious a MUST TRY!...noooobody makes it like them... highly recommended!

Today,I had their Lunch special...it's very very good!..for the price $ 5.99+tax..you get a main course along with a free pop and soup...very affordable. I could go there for lunch more often.

The food here is delicious and fresh and the service is good... will go there again and again...and the restaurant is very neat and clean!...just love it!

Food is absolutely fabulous, delicious and very fresh....their Chick/fish/shrimp Pakoras are very very good!... Hot garlic fish/shrimp is awesome and the Crispy beef is the best!..will go there again and again...best of all the restaurant is very clean!...service is average.

Excellent service and food. Dry chilli fish is awesome.

I go there all the time.

I agree that the service is bad. For example, I shouldn't have to ask 3 times to get a glass a water, especially when there are only two parties in the restaurant.
The service is horrible.

However, the food is excellent.

Which is why I usually order take-out.

I highly recommend their chicken pakoras, they're so good.
I always get them along with chili chicken and fried rice.
It's excellent.

Execellent food, good service and warm ambience! Definetly a thumbs up !!!!
Glad we found a good hakka restaurant in Markham. A must visit and will recommend friends.

The Food and service is awesome here, definitely will go again and again! ...what's with that comment!... Go to ... Tangerine!..it's worse there and the food is horrible!...guys I would definetly go to Golden china for the their food!...have you tried their pakoras...especially the Cripy beef!..it's havenly tasteful!

Visited golden china restaurant first time with friends and family of 16. Must say the selection of food was good and the quality was immense. Service was also attentive as the servers spoke excellent english and hindi with good sense of humour.Definitely will visit again and we were glad we found a good place to go when craving for real hakka food. Prices are decent and you get great value.
Some dishes I must mention were awesome chicken pakora, special fried shrimps,crispy ginger beef,manchurian veg pakora, chilli chicken dry,and spicy chow mein, cantonese chow mein

My experience with This restaurant's service, ambiance, and especially the food is just awesome. I would go there again and again...I wouldn't let the chilli sauce tray incedent...stop me! by the way, all hakka restaurant service is bad...so why complain...just eat the delicious food and be happy. And it's very neat and CLEAN!

I love it it is probably the best chinese resturant i have ever been to it may not look all nice but i will assure you it is excellent

AWESOME FOOD,,,AWESOME AMBIANCE.......AWESOME SERVICE

always good service and great food .

I LOVEE Golden China food, i even had my birthday party there BUT the waitress (or the owner) needs to learn FLIPPING HECK OF MANNERS!!!

SHE TOOK OUR PLATE OF CHILI SAUCES WHILE WE WERE EATING AND PUT IT ON THE NEXT TABLE FOR SOME OTHER CUSTOMER. WHEN I ASKED HER SHE SAID OH I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE EATING...THE TRUTH IS SHE GAVE US OUR PLATES 5 MINUTES AGO!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? IS SHE A RACIST OR JUST SOME PERSON WHO NEEDS A DIPLOMA IN MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE... WHEN I ASKED HER TO APOLOGIZE SHE DIDNT EVEN DO THAT PROPERLY...

SO PEOPLE PLEASE DONT GO THERE IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED BADLY...THE FOOD IS AMAZING BUT ITS NOT WORTH YOUR SELF ESTEEM. GO TO TANGERINES INSTEAD, ITS IN THE SAME PLAZA, SAME QUALITY OF FOOD WITH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! FIGHT DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM!

Good food, good service, good overall atmosphere )
