Golden Chopsticks

National City Chinese Icon Golden Chopsticks Expanding to Mira Mesa | Eater San Diego

"Long a fixture in National City, I consider Golden Chopsticks my neighborhood go-to Chinese restaurant; its multi-page menu ranges from American-Chinese staples like egg foo young and chop suey to Peking duck and steamed whole fish. Open since 1995, it consistently draws weekend crowds and does bustling business selling party trays of many popular dishes, including the justly-famous salt and pepper chicken wings. Closed temporarily at the start of the pandemic, the family-run restaurant has operated in takeout-only mode since April 2020 but will likely reopen for indoor dining next month. After more than 25 years in its original spot, it's expanding to Mira Mesa, where the second location will be part of the same complex as Menya Ultra Ramen, Raising Cane’s, and Golden Island; a manager told Eater by phone that it should open by late September." - Candice Woo
