Golden Star, Wilkes-Barre PA

I was having trouble with an order and had to cancel and re order and the person on the phone have a major attitude and said “don’t cancel your order this time” there was no need for that this person should not be working here!

Some of the best Chinese food around, great price on lunch specials which is usually what I order. I order online through ChineseMenu (yep that's really the website), it's always ready within the 10 to 15 minutes it takes me to arrive, and the food is still perfectly steaming hot when I get back, whatever ancient Chinese proverb they use works. Just the right amount of salty and greasy for me personally, a sinful meal surely but it's far from bland and not "sick after 3 bites" overpowering either. Egg drop soup, pork fried rice, and a beef dish would be my recommendations. Bro at the register is really nice but always busy working so I don't make small talk. A lot of reviews mention delivery issues or the American style food there, I can't speak on either as I haven't tried. But the Chinese takeout is

Normally when I order from here there are no issues and the food is great. But not tonight it tasted terrible. It was so spicy we couldn’t even eat it and instead of egg rolls they gave two spring rolls that I don’t like. The driver demanded I put a tip on the receipt even though they got a $4 delivery fee.

The boys made the best Sesame Chicken I ate in a min. Best in the area!

Food is fantastic, some of the best in the area, and they work with you when an error is made.

Everything I ordered was delicious
The online ordering is a great feature
Service was grear

Not the worst Chinese food out there but they still have the germ door up you know the kind where they put your food in a bin and slide it through another plastic opening.

For years we have loved Golden Star— we ordered a few times a month at least. Recently, they’ve fallen off and it’s more than disappointing. The first time they ever promised a refund after we received food that was so cold, it was as if it came straight out of the refrigerator, they never followed through so we never received it. This last time, they sent the wrong order and they were actually willing to send a new plate, then requested that they wanted to swap the food out— so beware, your order might have been provided by the last person who sent it back. The quality of this place has really tanked. I’ll miss the restaurant this place used to be.
