Delicious food!!!!!!!!!!! They can pack the spicy stick below 5 on scale 1-10 trust me unless u wanna breath fire. They also got bubble tea! I grew up living on bubble tea and their tea taste like home. They also have coconut or tea flavors i went with traditional tea flavor it is a MUST GET BUBBLE TEA! Only problem they sell tons each days and at night around 8 o clock they usually sell out. They also got cheesecake which is not heavy as New York cheesecake is just enough to taste the cheese and a good blend. i order steamed pork dumplings, Peking duck cream cheese spring roll, and a lunch special chicken broccoli. the bill was around $20 not so bad for appetizer,drink,desert, and meal. I even got leftovers for lunch!! Overall it was great. Fast, Friendly, Fantastic!!
Review Source:Inedible. This food doesn't even qualify as "greasy takeout" - the chinese at the Kingston mall is far superior, if that gives you an idea of the gravity of this rating. Haven't been there in the last several months, but haven't heard it's changed from anyone else. The last time I ordered take-out from there (and this is why it was the last time), the noodles tasted like kerosene. No joke.
Review Source:As a college student, I enjoy cheap and delicious food. Golden Wok is your best bet to encompass both of those elements. However, the best part about this place is the entertainment value. Go here during their busy period, and eat in. The anxiety the main lady experiences (along with her sassy and hilariously rude son) is amusing to no end to watch. Dinner and a show??? Count me in!
Review Source:Yes, this is greasy chinese take out, but who doesn't love golden wok. Locals will tell you this is their #1 guilty pleasure, because the food is always served on time, the price is reasonable, and it's addicting! I don't know if it's msg or what, but the food here always keeps you coming back. I love the young chow fried rice, they also give you an option about how spicy you want your food, from 1-10. Word of advice, stick to anything below 5 because they can definitely pack on the spice. The staff is great, they are always nice and takes everyone's order. They have some great vegetarian options too, tofu is yummy! Compared to other greasy chinese take out I've had, this place is a little bit better about easing up on the grease.
Great place for groups! and they can cater larger events too.
Really hit or miss/inconsistent from menu item to menu item/visit to visit. I'm from Red Hook, you should count your lucky stars Golden Wok moved in. The previous Chinese restaurant, Hunan Dynasty, was a cruel joke played on the town for years; one of the most disgusting restaurants I have ever encountered. Golden Wok is ok, nothing special. Note what items on the menu were good last time, so you have an idea for the future.
Review Source:I've had the best meal of Chinese food in my entire life (order included Sesame Tofu, Garlic String Beans, Steamed Vegetable Dumplings) at Golden Wok. I highly recommend ordering Sesame Tofu (it's not on the menu, but vegetarians rejoice-- it's lightly breaded tofu, fried and cooked in the delicious sauce of Sesame Chicken). The family who owns Golden Wok is nice, if frequently rushed, and will take the care to make your order the way you want it. It's a great neighborhood Chinese food restaurant, but just note that when they are busy, quality of food declines a little bit. Your best bet is to go a little early (5pm) or for lunch. When on top of their game, they really are one of the "Top 100 Chinese Food Places in America." (Signs all over the place let you know about this award)
90% Hit, 10% Miss.
This is a great little Chinese restaurant with a very nice family running it. Â We've been going here the past couple of years all the way from New Paltz because there aren't many good Chinese food restaurants in this area.
This one beats food we've had in big cities. Â Mango chicken is very good. Â So is pork with bean sprouts. Â Crab rangoons and cold sesame noodles are very good appetizers.
The family is always helpful and friendly, and it's very clean.
We look with doubt on some of the reviews on this page which claim "food poisoning", or bad tasting "greasy" food, or bad service.
These reviews look more to me like a bunch of snotty, spoiled college kids who dorm at the schools around here and don't know how to behave. Â Many of them are obnoxious and we've seen them behaving so at this restaurant.
Just finished moving in. Wanted some classic Chinese -- Â 3 colors of plastic sauce packets (possibly a 4th red one), crunchy noodles, cardboard in the bottom of the paper bag, possible availability of fried chicken wings with french fries or fried rice in Styrofoam.
What I got was:
General Tso's -- no heat at all and no flavor other than sweet, minimal amount of sauce made from orange-whip and corn starch with no extraneous flavors.
Pork Fried Rice -- thought it was plain brown rice when I opened the container. Seriously. Not much of anything at all going on here. Flavor-free.
Hot and Sour soup -- OK
Beef Chow Fun -- Total Fail. Threw it out.
Pork Lo Mein -- OK but minimal sauce, minimal flavor.
Was it a bad night? I read other reviews. Maybe I'll try one thing on another night.
===================
OK, tried it another time: It was way better and it seems like my first visit was on a bad night.
Chow fun was better -- still light on flavor and sauce but there was some flavor this time. The noodles were cooked closer to right this time and didn't form a fused noodle mass. We ate it and felt like we did indeed have chow fun and finished it but we didn't celebrate.
Hot and sour soup was among the best we've had in the Valley. Lots of mushrooms, veggies and just the exact right amount of heat. Nicely done.
The family that owns this place are really nice (my first time here I was in a hurry and didn't get to talk) I feel like I could ask them to go heavy on the flavor and they would.
Yes, there are concerns about consistency but they're trying and they seem to care. It's worth working with them. Give it a try..
Good neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Food is well prepared and ready for quick takeout. They also have a few tables for dining at the restaurant.
While the menu doesn't break any new culinary ground, the food is an excellent representation of American Chinese cooking with all the expected favorites such as General Tsos chicken, moo shoo pork, egg foo young, fried rice, etc. The owners are also happy to cook special request items tailored to your preferences. I have ordered food from this restaurant for years and have enjoyed their cooking.
Pros:
Tasty well prepared food
Food is piping hot when you get it home
Large portions
Healthy steamed options available
They will prepare off-menu items on request
Economical
Fast (they respect your time & get you on your way with a friendly smile)
Cons:
High in sodium (like just about every Chinese restaurant in the US)
Fast (which means they can be rushed and sometimes abrupt)
HOORY!!! Ten years they have been in service and they are making it big with new dishes! The Peking Duck Spring Roll...i'm drooling already just thinking about it. Pretty much a piece of duck skin and meat with hoisin sauce and cream cheese...yes, that's right, CREAM CHEESE!!! THAT'S WHY I'M DROOLING!!!
anyways...they also now have Miso Soup on that special white board. Roasted Salmon...served boneless. It's a tasty treat!
And finally, congratz on the award for being the top 100 take out restaurants of america!
G-Wok has gone to the next level and deserves more stars!!! Â The owners and I have made an agreement that ANYTHING on the menu I want to learn how to cook, they will teach me. Â I have been learning in their kitchen and using up to 3 woks at a time!!! Â I have mastered Beef w/ Broccoli in Garlic Sauce and Schezwan Chicken. Â Call me Master BLACK WOK!!
Back to the menu....
I'm visiting Bard College from New York City and this review is based on my one and only visit. I had a vastly different experience than the 5 star reviews here.
I was craving what I call "egg roll" chinese food (americanized/non-authentic chinese food) and this place looked like it fit the bill. The place looks like it's owned and run by a family. In fact, a teenager took my order and there was an even younger son running around helping with taking orders from the chef to the front between homework equations.
I ordered crispy orange beef with brown rice. It took a little over 20 minutes from order to mouth! In fact, 2 people who came in 5 minutes after me were served first and "the family" that ran the place, sat down to eat dinner all before my order came up! I asked if it would be up soon and the woman behind the counter says "yes, crispy takes longer."
Well, when I got the order, it was crispy all right. Almost like crisp pieces of flavorless - "something?!?!" I couldn't figure out what cut of beef they used. After taking one apart, it looked like they opened a can of beef stew, took out the beef chunks, battered it, and fried it up. That's the most accurate description I can give. The "orange sauce" was not even orange flavored except for the raw bitter zest or more like RINDS that were thrown in with everything. It wasn't sweet nor tart. Just lightly bitter and bland.
I was starving so I ate about a third of it but couldn't continue.
Now, I wasn't going for "authentic." I would have been perfectly happy with a well fried piece of flank or skirt steak in a simple lightly sweet orange sauce. But - I didn't get that.
I felt bad because "the family" really seemed nice. All the kids were around helping with the family biz (it looked like the uncle was in the back cooking). I want to support small businesses, but this place was just not good! Ultimately, the problem is: they just didn't know how to cook!
Do I think I can one up my man Will's review?
Hells no!
But I think we can both tell you that this is some of the best Americanized Chinese food you will ever have. I've been to places both in LA and in NY, and you will STILL be hard pressed to find a place better than Golden Wok. The 1 to 10 scale on spice always holds true (I've had up to a eight, and wouldn't mind venturing up a notch), so they are definitely willing to accommodate the taste for heat. The service rates from vaguely rude (but only if can't handle someone being curt toward you), to quirky, to very friendly. Unless otherwise stated, never have I once had to wait longer than 10 minutes for my food and the order is ALWAYS correct. What more could you want from a Chinese food place in the hook?
