I ordered through doordash and was genuinely surprised by the portion of the shrimp and broccoli and the rice. Maybe it's just been a long time since I've gotten takeout from a Chinese restaurant. But this does not seem like the right amount of food ... Nor does it look anything like the pictures other people have posted of their portions. I put the order beside a normal 750 bottle of wine for scale. The food tasted good but I ordered fully expecting to have more leftovers for another meal. I also ordered some wonton soup in a pint which came in at the right size but was a little saltier than I would have liked. Again, the food was good, I'm just kind of shocked by the portion sizes.

I had not eaten all day, and it was already past the time when everything food-related closes here on a weekday in Raleigh. On a bit of a tight budget and fighting the laziness of a Wednesday night, I reminisced on similar nights from my freshman year of college, when the dining halls had closed, and I needed a break from my studio work. Back in the days before grand changes, like the Raisin Cane’s opening or that new glass building in the brickyard. Back when campus felt infinite, and I was certain I would never change. That I was final. In those days, facing my future and just as hungry as I was earlier today, I would frequent Golden Dragon. I would typically go alone, preferring to eat my meal listening to music in a space away from people. It has been around three and a half years since I last ate here. Maybe four? How wrong I was, yet how incredibly certain and proud. I am nothing like I was back then, but it takes liminal places like these for one to realize what a strange thing it is to change. I wonder if Heraclitus sat at a similar place when he thought about change being permanent; he would love the egg rolls here. I ordered the same dish as I routinely did back then—t

Ordered for the first time and had it delivered by door dash. The food arrived on time and nothing was spilled. (We had a few liquids.) Everything was delicious. Shrimp rolls were big and plump. Shrimp Hunan had medium size shrimp and plenty for two to share and was the right amount of spicy we asked for. House lo mein was FULL of meat and shrimp. Sweet and sour chicken was enough for 4! The only thing that could have been better was the little bag of fried noodles. They are one of my favorite things. They were very light in color so could have been cooked a little longer and there was hardly any in the bag. I think we’ve found our new Chinese place! Definitely order again.

I came here and ordered takeout because I heard it was good, and it looked like they make their dumplings in-house which is very important to me. I'm getting tired of places using manufactured frozen dumplings. They all taste the same and it's not worth the money. So when I went in to order, I asked the person taking my order if the dumplings are made in-house. I was informed that a lot of their items are made in-house, which I was pleased with. I ordered an order of fried dumplings, and then I got a special dinner combo of chicken with broccoli, and I paid extra to have lo mein as the side instead of rice. The special dinner combo also comes with an egg roll. I realized that I ordered a lot of food, but I had been craving good Chinese takeout, and I could make the food stretch for multiple meals. The fried dumplings were definitely homemade. The meat inside was very juicy and had an interesting taste to it. It was more sweet than savory, which was interesting, but not completely a terrible thing. The chicken with broccoli was good, but had a light brown sauce instead of a dark brown sauce that I like. The dark brown sauces tend to be more flavorful and savory. The chicken and broc
