“ Food was PHENOMENAL, I had the pad Thai and shrimp rolls. Everything came out promptly and super fresh. The worker was so sweet and super helpful explaining the menu. I'd highly recommend ”
“ Finally some good Chinese food! This place has been here most of my life, and I only discovered it twenty years after moving away. Oh the wasted years... On a visit back home my mom said there was no good Chinese food spots anymore. I said "challenge accepted." I knew I was in for a treat when I saw this place served 'hot braised chicken.' The last time I had hot braised chicken was from a restaurant called China Express that closed down back in the 90s, and I longed for it ever since. I placed my order and waited excitedly. An older gentleman in the restaurant said he likes coming here because it's the only place that makes Chinese food like he used to get in Chicago. You can't beat that kind of endorsement! Golden Wok did not disappoint at all! It wasn't the same hot braised chicken like China Express, but it was its own kind of delicious! I let my mom try some and we went back the next day for more! The fried rice is real fried rice. Not that yellow stuff they dip out of a big vat. This is the real deal! I will always come here when I visit home! ”
“ For a friend I picked up shrimp fried rice to go and its aroma lovingly enveloped my car. Personally I opted for the fresh spring rolls as I was about to catch a 3 hour flight home. They were delicious and sat well. So much that I'm ooking forward to a return visit. Service was quick and friendly. ”
“ If I lived in Champaign, I would get takeout from Golden Wok every night. We keep going back for the Lao pork sausage, Hainan Chicken, and eggrolls. Today, we got the pla lard prig. It was so good! We have also enjoyed the chicken wings and the beef with flat rice noodles. I would like to explore the rest of their Thai menu. The food reminds me of my childhood. The flavor profile is similar to my family's cooking. And the staff is extremely kind and courteous. They made me feel welcomed and respected every time I pick up my order. ”
“ After years of eyeing this place with interest as I drove past on the way to work, I had lunch here today. I ordered a red curry (chicken) and asked for "spicy". It was spicy enough to break a sweat and experience mild gustatory rhinitis. Thus, eminently satisfying. The place is unpretentious but the food was tasty and the value for price is very high. For what it aims at, 5 stars for sure. ”
“ FAVORITE PLACE FOR CHICKEN PAD THAI! I've tried a couple in the area and this has been the best for taste, portion, and price. The service is always really good and the one less than desirable experience I had, I called and they were happy to correct the issue. Can't wait to try more food from here - but I can't get over the pad Thai. ”
“ Great food great service and a okay dining room. Keep going back. They have this amazing Thai sausage. ”
“ Great food! Nice owners. Kung Pao chicken not like any other I've had. I love it! They are very good at altering the dish to suit your likes. ”
