Golden Fountain - Pendleton

The food is very tasty waitresses are friendly keep up the good work

Ordered take out. Told 40 minutes which is fine but at least be close to having it ready when I get there 45 minutes later. Not another 20 minutes after that which comes to over an hour total. In 2021 (see Google photos for picture posted 3 years ago) the price of the 4 item combo was $11.50 today it was 15.50. That's s 35% increase in 3 years for less food considering it no longer comes with soup. Lady that took my order wasnt necessarily rude in any particular way but it was obvious she either didn't care about her job or had other things she wanted to be doing. It's sad, this place used to be amazing but after 30 years of eating here this might be my last time.

Food is always high quality, very friendly servers too I recommend going at odd hours

I ordered take out. I looked online and saw a picture that showed the golden fountain chow mein and it had noodles. So that's what I ordered. Only to find out that it is all sprouts no noodles. I did go back and took a closer look at the menu and there is a difference between chicken chow mein and the golden fountain chow mein. That was my fault. I ordered chicken chow mein. Pork ried rice, general chicken 5 spring rolls and fried shrimp. The food tasted over salted I do understand that Chinese food is loaded with sodium but this was extreme. Everything seemed to lack flavor expect the spring rolls. The general chickn tasted just like the sweet and sour sauce. I just spent over $60 for a diner that I didn't even like. I was told 20 min I got there almost 30 min later and still had to wait 10 min for my food. I will say the lady working there was nice.

Definitely would not recommend dining in. Ordered the appetizer sampler. When it arrived we asked for Hot Mustard. The server said she would be right back. About 4 minutes later we asked another lady for Hot Mustard and Chop Sticks. Roughly 5 min later (the sampler is now cold) we finally got the Hot Mustard but still no chop sticks. We asked again at that point for Chop sticks. Next our entree’s arrive still without chop sticks. We again ask for them at this point. My husband waits another almost 10 minutes for us to say something AGAIN and finally he gets chops sticks. Most of the food is now cold and when he went to try the Lemon chicken it was hard and dry. I couldn’t even stick it with my fork. We let the server know and she tells another lady who comes out and asks what the issue is? When we show her it’s hard she states it’s because it’s the end piece. My husband picks up a center piece to show her it’s also hard and accidentally drops it. When it hit the floor you could hear the sound of it hitting because it’s so hard. The lady seems annoyed and walks away. We get our bill and she took of a WHOLE WHOPPING $3. Anyone who knows myself or my husband knows we always tip a minimum 40%. Tonight we left without tipping because of how bad the service was and then to be disrespected in such a manner when the food wasn’t even good.
