Very good Chinese, best I've found in the neighborhood.
Chinese is one of those staples (like Pizza) where you need to experiment with places and find ones you like. Sadly, for living in the city (Worcester) I've found it hard to find a great standby for either Chinese or Pizza.
Golden Wok is my current standby, they're pretty good. I won't say GREAT but 'very good' is accurate. It's always subject to personal tastes with Chinese. Me - I am looking for your standard, greasy and delicious but awful for you appetizer type foods. (Don't expect dim sum or a Thai place - this is a standard take out/eat in Chinese place)
The place is clean and everyone's friendly, the prices are reasonable too. I always pickup my takeout, though they have a dining area. (not sure if they deliver?)
The food is good, the standard Chinese fare has been good to me. The rice is very good, I love the goons and chicken wings. If you venture into trying some of their entrees (General Gaos, pad thai, etc) - note that it may not be what you expect. I found both good, but it's not what most restaurants would give you as those dishes. It's hard to explain, just warning you that these dishes seem to be 'their take on' the dishes.
One thing that bothers me a little is their pupu platter comes with TWO standard shrimp dishes - I don't eat shrimp. So if you like shrimp, you may LOVE this. So when I call I have to be a huge bother and substitute them out, which is an inconvenience (especially when we both have accents) - but they're friendly and accommodating.
Oh also - they always ask if you want more duck sauce as they're ringing you up, which I love. They go out of their way to make sure you have enough. Some Chinese places seem to get offended when you ask for extra sauces - how dare you! "Everyone want extra" I was once told, angrily, at a different place. Golden Wok seems to want to make sure you get everything you want and that you leave happy, which is really nice.
So when I'm not in the mood to drive across the city to the GREAT places (reviews to come) - Golden Wok suits me pretty well to satisfy the Chinese craving.
