  This is the best pompano/lighthouse point Chinese restaurant. We often get sesame tofu and krab Rangoon. They deliver to us within 20 minutes of ordering. (We do live pretty close) never had a complaint.

  Not a good first experience.
  Wife called to and placed an order. When it came time for payment she was told that they wouldn't take a card over the phone unless the person with the card was present (we were getting the kids food while out)...the lady on the phone said "OK, I cancel order"....they sent the food anyway and had a poor delivery guy on the phone with us for 30 minutes who eventually left WITH the food!!! We offered to take a pic of front and back of card and send it in...no bueno!
  They need to hire somebody that speaks English to handle phones!!!

  Golden China. I'd like to give it a better rating. The food is pretty good. But the service is just so slow. So freaking slow.
  
  Simply put, this place has 4 Star Food and 2 Star Service. Average the two together, you get 3 Stars. Yup seems legit.
  
  I've had their General Tso's Chicken, General Tso's Tofu (which was served to me with the sauce on the side for whatever reason), Broccoli with Garlic Sauce, their egg-rolls, the Hot and Sour Soup, and the Egg Drop Soup all at one point or another. I've also had the rice, both white and fried.
  
  All the food is pretty good. It's about what you'd expect out of Chinese restaurant in America, if not a little above-average. I've never had a bad meal, so that's pretty good. If I was just rating on food alone, this would be 4 Stars.
  
  But the service. Well it's not so great. Let me preface this - the workers (owners?) are very friendly. Everyone there usually has a smile on their face, and they seem genuinely happy that you came to their restaurant. They all mean well, and I can honestly say that I feel happy when I watch them prepare my food. They keep a well-stocked lineup of condiments, and their drinks are always nice and cold.
  
  But it's just too damn slow! Listen, I usually come in shortly after they open, around 11am, for my lunch-break at work. I work very close to this establishment, so picking up food from there should be very convenient. I'm not joking when I've experienced the following situation on multiple occasions:
  
  I place a small order for pickup. It takes me 10-15 minutes to leave work and then arrive at the restaurant. I then proceed to wait 20-25 MINUTES for my food to be prepared. When this happens, my lunch-break is shot, and I still  haven't eaten. That absolutely screws me over big time.
  
  Now, I understand. I usually call right after they've opened. They might still be getting situated and whatnot. But that's not a great excuse. I should NEVER have to wait in excess of 30 MINUTES for a small one-item order.
  
  Lately, I've been trying to accommodate to their slowness by leaving work 20-30 minutes AFTER place my order so that HOPEFULLY it will be ready in time... and I'm not gonna lie, one time it still wasn't ready.
  
  This is by far the slowest Chinese restaurant I have ever been to.
  
  If Golden China picked up the pace a little, it would be an easy 4 Stars, heck, maybe even 5 Stars if I were feeling VERY generous (but I probably wouldn't). Instead, it gets a 3 Star rating.
  
  Bottom line: The restaurant does most things right. They always serve good food, and they treat the customer right. Their prices are fair, their menu is diverse, and they provide a good experience overall. But if you're even in a hurry, definitely look elsewhere for your Chinese take-away.

  We have ordered from this place more than one occasion every single time we ask for the meal to be extra spicy it never is this last order we asked for extra vegetables in a lo mein that was a house special lo mein no extra vegetables the meat was very minimal called to speak to the restaurant the woman that always answers the phone did not care what so ever asked for a manager she said hes not there asked for anyone else to speak to she says they're not there I only take the order this restaurant clearly does not care about the quality of the food they give and they don't care if a customer is not satisfied I would not order from these people at all!

  I moved closer to this restaurant, thought I'd give it a try. Not to shabby, prices are reasonable food is edible. It's Chinese take out. Relax .. you truly get what you pay for and here you get decent portions of good Chinese food. I realize it doesn't meet some standards but it suits us and I will continue to order from here. Service could be a little quicker with delivery but who am I to complain when I don't leave my home.
