Always so delicious and consistent in the quality of their food. Huge portions at a fair price considering what other places charge for smaller portions. Always super friendly and fast as well!

Ordered Double Phoenix which included Bourbon Chicken and Orange Chicken. Very delicious and arrived hot and fresh. The fried rice was also very delicious.

Takeout Jalapeno Chicken, & Cashew Chicken w/ fried rice and Spring Eggrolls. Absolutely EXCELLENT! I modify my order of Jalapeno Chicken with "soft" chicken instead of the chicken that is the actual Dish. This dish is so large, it's three meals for me! Allan's Cashew Chicken is perfection with an abundance of cashews. He loves it! The Spring Rolls are so tasty, we usually order 3 orders (2 per), but we decided to start ordering 4 orders from now on. I ordered a side of brown sauce, and it's unlike any brown sauce I've ever had! It's the BEST! I can't even describe it, so try it. If you like brown sauce, you will LOVE the Golden Pot brown sauce! We've ordered takeout several times and have never been disappointed. Allan & I are thrilled to have The Golden Pot as our local Chinese food. We hit the jackpot!

This is one of my favorite takeout places... Very hot, fresh and they pack the containers full. This is my favorite place to get hot n sour soup. It's not watered down like some places, it's hearty. They are busy every time I go pickup my order because the food is good. I love the Hunan beef and Hunan chicken... Sooo good.

The food is really good. The atmosphere needs a little more attention but other than that the people that work there are nice! It’s definitely a huge plus that the restaurant is open till 10:30 pm!

Usually, we just get take out. I think that is 90% or more of the business. All the food we have ever ordered there is fantastic. We'll cooked and seasoned packaged nicely and very delicious. Portions are huge, so watch how much you order. We have been going there for 10 years and the food has also been consistent. You can tell there is a lot of culture ans.love.when they make this.
