We've gone to this amazing little chinese restaurant since 1996 and kind of stopped when the new owners took over for no good reason. Then just the other night we had a big order of food and I have to say it was FANTASTIC. Sam (may he rest in peace) would have been proud of the food you folks served up to us that night.

The worst food experience I’ve had yet. I’ve had better food served in a mall food court after sitting under a heat lamp for hours than this salty muck.

read moreGolden Island Restaurant has received a mix of reviews, with some customers praising the fresh and perfectly sauced vegetables, friendly service, and great portions, while others have been disappointed by salty food and slow delivery service. The menu offers a variety of typical Chinese dishes, with some standout items like the soup and Singapore noodles. The owner, Sam, is highly regarded and accommodating to special requests. Overall, Golden Island Restaurant seems to offer a modest dining experience with reasonably priced, flavorful dishes that cater to both locals and visitors alike.
Simple space with good service and great food. Fair value for what I ordered. Szechuan green beans are the best!
