It's a hole in the wall restaurant, and the food is amazing and made fresh. I don't care for the smell of the restaurant but the food is great.

My husband and I have a system that usually works well in Massachusetts. If a Chinese food joint looks a little rough around the edges, the food is phenomenal. Well, this place ruined our system. The food was atrocious. Zero flavor. The cheese wontons were mouldy. The egg foo yung, boneless spare ribs, general tso's chicken, and chicken chow mein had zero flavor. It was weird. When I say zero flavor, I don't mean bland. I mean all of it tasted like nothing. Like water. It was so bazaar.We paid almost a hundy on everything only to toss it all away.

This hole in the wall, go through the back door to pick up to go orders. It is an inherent risk. But when you need to eat, it will do. Zero atmosphere.Parking: You park out back enter fro. 6th Street.

My wife get it for take out all the time and love this place. It's our go to Chinese take out in town. We usually order their giant spring rolls, general tsaos and wonton soup. It usually runs about less than $25. The portions are also real nice, it feeds both of us twice each. The don't skimp on the chicken or wontons. I believe it's run by an older couple and just them as I only ever see the two of em in there.

Golden Buddha is our favorite place in town for Chinese takeout. We always get: orange chicken with fried rice, pan-fried potstickers, and the wontons. The food never disappoints, service is always quick - we can place an order for pick up and it's usually ready in 20 minutes. The "ambiance" inside leaves a little to be desired where you pick up the food. But, we've never eaten inside to see if it's different sitting down. We love Golden Buddha!!!

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years they make good quality food and a great price. I’ve compared it to other Chinese Restaurants and they are the best. I’ve also done tree work for the owner and I do the same quality of work with the same type of atmosphere. These are great people. Great Americans.

Been ordering from here for over 10 years. Amazing food, cheap prices, and very fast delivery. The older delivery gentleman was extremely sweet, too! 5/5.For $28 I got pot sticker dumplings, beef and broccoli, the big fried tofu dish, and soup. All were piping hot! Freshly made!

Second time coming here. My husband and I ordered mooshoo pork, sesame chicken, fried rice and cream cheese wontons. Everything tasted so flavorful. Omy gosh the portion was huge too. I thought the food was really good. We saw them cooking it from the side on a flaming Wok it was kinda cool. The man that took our order and cooked our food was so nice too. I would definitely come back.

I've heard a lot about this place but hesitated because of the way the building itself looked. I was a fool. This BY FAR the best Chinese food I've ever had. Seriously. I thought everyone might be overhyping it, they're not. Its delicious. Do yourself a favor and give them a

Hello, I'm writing this review to inform you that the seafood used on our order was spoiled. I just ordered 2 Large House fried rice, 2 order wings 2 sodas and 2 egg rolls. 40.69 total. I want my refund! We can not eat this food. I'm leaving review as a note of evidence to bring up when I show up and explain.

This place looks seedy, yes.But it is hands down the best mf Chinese food I've ever had !!!!! The wonton soup was perfect !! I'm from Atlanta and I've been dreaming about it !!! I had shrimp and broccoli with fried rice (yummy!), wonton soup (to die for) and a spring roll (perfect , meaty , golden and flaky !!) For less than 8 !! It was the best food and the man who serviced us was kind and efficient. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Florida.I didn't take pictures because I was busy eating ?
