Golden Rice Take-away

This place is fine for takeaway. <br/ <br/ Haven’t been here since 2017 to be honest, and last I remember the food was pretty good.<br/ <br/ The complex always seemed a bit weird... just this place and the Phoenix cafe open after office hours. But yeah we used to order takeout here regularly and never had any qualms... call them before and pick up in 20minutes. <br/ <br/ The actual dine in experience is a bit cramp and ordinary, but so what, the foods food if you eat in or eat it at home watching Netflix.

As the same as Joe K, I drove past this restaurant many times but never thought about to give it go. Not until I read Kee's review, then I bookmarked this restaurant and finally had a dinner last night. Honestly, the dining area is not that spacious so it is easily packed with diners and you really need to push your luck to have a table. I was lucky to have the last table for two near the entrance. Ordered the steamed pork dumplings (20 pieces), the Mixed Vegetable with pork egg and their signature dish Sesame Chicken Soup. The first dish came to the table was the mixed veg that was exactly the same to match my mental image of it. The egg was absolutely fascinated to sit on top of the mixed vegetables like a hat. Vegetables were braised to perfection with vermicelli and shredded pork. The technique of the egg omelette earned my appreciation due to the fact that it is not easy to control the timing and temperature of the oil for such effect. Well, only this dish will be worth for people to die for. Next came to the table was the Sesame Chicken Soup. I loved the tenderised chicken shimmered in the soup to make it so tasteful. Texture of chicken pieces were all good as well. However, the pork dumplings were just average and they were not as good as what I had in the Golden Dumplings of Sunnypark. Overall, this restaurant really deliveries authentic Taiwanese cuisine, however, the dining area is so small with lots of diners so you really need to speak loudly otherwise your partner won't be able to hear what you said....

My friends had kept talking about this place for its home style cooking; finally I was brought there. Before stepping in, my friends had warned me not to expect a good service and mentioned that the owner was sort of rude. <br/ <br/ The owner rushed us to place our order probably because there were people waiting for their tables. It's such a small restaurant; that's why the seats were limited. Not only the owner was serving, but also a waiter. He was actually quite nice and efficient. The service was adequate. <br/ <br/ <br/ My friends managed to order:<br/ • Three cups chicken: rich in flavours and the chicken was perfectly cooked. <br/ • Mapo Tofu: the dish didn't come out with a thick coating of hot chili oil covering its surface which I heard keeping the contents underneath hot, and lacked a little flavour.<br/ • chicken soup: my friends quite liked this soup, but personally it was too oily. <br/ • stir fry glass noodle with vegetable coated with omelette: loved the creation and perfect mixture and texture.<br/ <br/ Take away seemed to be popular as I saw many people came in to pick up their food. My friends sometime did takeaway here for the reason that the food was nice and good valued.

This restaurant has survived for more than 20 years for some reasons. One of the reason is that it was one of the very few restaurants with Taiwanese style cooking back then. Still think of it when we're considering to have takeaways or Taiwanese dishes. Many of their Taiwanese home-cooking dishes are still irreplaceable for many people that I know despite the dining environment and sometimes slow service.

Decided to come here after reading all the good reviews about it. The shop comes with no frills but def delivered everything I wanted: simple good home food. Ordered the mapo tofu and pickled omelette and was given a free bowl of soup by the lady. Her attitude was really good too. Def returning back for more.
