  I literally hate to write this...
  This was, emphasized was. My favorite "Asian" inspired places...
  Let me preface this with, I'm here at least 2 x a week and the school I work for orders HUNDREDS of dollars of food from them a month.
  They know how much I frequent there as an individual, bring friends, etc...
  They are all fucking lazy! LAZY!
  I'm so confused how you can run a restaurant, when your bartender in the blue shirt that pays NO attention to ANYONE, at all. Not a smile or can I get you anything, On her phone ALL the time and the wait staff wants to read the paper or watch news 12 or the Yankees game. WTF! You just opened at 11. Y'all are that tired by 1:30/3?  From what?! Take out? Maybe the paper exhausted you or News 12 stressed you out.
  Walked in yesterday for the VERY last time ever! EVER!
  No greet, no water, no nothing...
  NO ONE IS THERE...but a bumbling incoherent man about the Yankee game.
  Had to ask for drinks all the time... the cold saki is warm. It's like being involved in a joke or candid camera. I ordered Chicken lettuce wraps. They gave me the wilted lettuce from the outside with the red mold lines. Like...iceberg lettuce is .95/head.
  Really...
  They don't even check on you for anything. Back to the paper and television. How quickly can we sit down, to also talk shit about our customers?!
  The food is decent for the area, but I would not visit if your not doing take out. Too much for the type of food without any service or convenience.
  I say to them-
  BE BETTER.
  you'd have more people in there if you ALL acted professionally and attentive.

  With the exception of O Mandarin, our area and nearby towns don't have a big Chinese food scene......maybe not at all. Promised myself some time ago, we wouldn't have Chinese food- especially from our go-to spot on Knollwood Rd- because it kind of turned me off.
  
  But as luck would have it, the owner of our favorite Wine shop, referred us to come here- since her sister owns it. Located on a strip mall in Ardsley, Golden Wok was a nice surprise. Place opens up with huge Bamboo plants in the Bar then followed by their Dining area. Greeting was very nice and seated right after. Looks like people practically line up to come here- because for a Friday night, Golden was booming! So much so, we were asked to sit on a 5-seater round table instead of a 2-seater- since they were all taken. Still good.
  
  Despite reviews mentioning 'small plates' and 'overpriced' food'- honestly, we can't compare it to anything, nor did we look at price. But Golden works big, good plates of staple foods like Peking Duck, roast pork, noodles, plus more from what I noticed on their menu. Apple Martini was...good. When it comes to Chinese food- I don't venture at all and just stick to either a Vegetarian meal or seafood. My 'Seafood Family' dish was very good and Golden gets a high five for not using red dyes for their sauces. While hubby enjoyed both his Egg Drop Soup and said it's the best he's had in a long time and Kung Pao Chicken.
  
  Golden isn't a new kid on the block. History goes- they've been here on this same strip for 30 years and counting! I guess this place brings fire because the proof is right here- with taste and clientele. It's a nice hit and was worth the drive.

  I had my friend pick me up some food here tonight because I was home and not feeling well. I called in the order - General tso's chicken, nothing out of the ordinary. The food wasn't bad at all but somehow this cost $17. One small bowl of chicken & veggies with a small portion of white rice. Not impressed.

  Good not great. The portions are a little on the smaller side but the service was good and the food fresh. If the portion was a little larger and the price a little lower, they would have gotten 4 stars.
  
  Overall, I probably won't be back but that's primarily because there are hundreds of Chiense restaurants that can do it better for less. They do, however, have a solid gluten free menu, so that's always good to keep in mind.
