Golden Lake Restaurant Reviews

Best chinese food in the gta hands down cant beat them delicious food the best.

Very rude on the phone with customers. Would not go back.

I visit this place a lot since I work close by. I love how the customer service is always awesome and they keep the place neat all the time. Rates are reasonable and they serve generous portions.

Well for starters the chicken balls were disgusting the breading was mushy and chewy and the actual chicken was a hard block of tough chicken and the sauce was very liquidy and not very good.

Thank you for the food. Please next time deliver some flavour with it too

Caters to allergies and has the flavours you're looking for.

First time here....nice food and experience...will surely be back

If you order delivery make sure to have Cash as they do not own a debit/credit machine.

I come here every now and then with my friends when I'm craving Chinese food. The prices can be high, but you get a lot of food to compensate for it.

The menu is huge, so it can be hard to decide what to eat if you don't already know what you want, but there's a number of combos to choose from and the girls at the counter will be more than glad to help you choose.

Personally, I like getting classics like Orange Chicken, Deep Fried Chicken Balls with Sweet and Sour Sauce, and Beef Ho Fun (flat rice noodles with beef and soy sauce). They'll all run you around $13 for a reasonably large tray you can share with a friend.

I am English, so when I tell you that this stuff is bland, you can believe I know bland.
We got the Cantonese Chow main and the sauce tasted like water, nothing had any flavor.
The plain fried rice was steamed. And there was very little meat in the dish.
Will not order from here again.

The only reason I'm giving this a star is because i don't have the option of no stars. I just spent 82.50 and didn't get what i want; charged me an extra $3. to make my food spicy and nothing is spicy

Consistently messing up my order .. They also do not care for allergies as they have consistently given me egg rolls instead of spring rolls.

Stupid me for not reading these comments first. I could have saved $65. Horrible food. I ordered Cantonese chow, yang rice, spicy wings, honey ribs, cantonese chicken.Best part of all of that was the free spring rolls...and even they were just a mere OK. Will NEVER return. Not even if it was free.

Lost two stars for no debit option and zero flavour or seasoning on noodles. You need to ask for mild or spicy otherwise it comes bland.

The food was decent, better than most Chinese restaurants in Brampton. Towards quality... What they gain in quality they lack in quanity. The food is way to expensive for the portion of food they give you. It's not even authentic! It's decent. So why charge such the high prices. I assume, rent their must be really expensive which is why they charge those high prices lol. Prior to your visit, be prepared to pay for any extras for sauces such as soy, hot sauce, plum and fortune cookies (FORTUNE COOKIES).... I only got 1 fortune cookie to divide for a family of four after paying for a price of a family of 4... LOL. Again, food was decent but after spending $50 plus dollars we ended up getting pizza after our meal to feed my hungry kids. Trust me my kids are small eaters.....My advice to restaurant is to balance out the portion of food that will reflect your high prices!!! Hope this helps you. My review 3 out of 5 stars.

Their food didn't taste so good. The tofu contained a piece of hair and a metal strip. They could have killed me if i did not find it on time. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

1star is for Google for giving us opportunity to write reviews...Zero stars for Golden Lake...rubbish preparation...never ever will order from this place again!!

Disgusting service. Asked for payment options. Replied cash or credit. When asked if they accept debit at the door, she hung up. Complete trash, won't bother again.

Wouldnt recommend to anyone.

Ordered general tao and orange chicken. Came fairly quickly. When i arrived home they sent me my orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Called them and lady told me it was tao and if it had "pineapples, green peppers".. Ive tried it and tasted nothinf like general tao. Tasted like sweet and sour..

Besides the orange chicken had no taste. And they bread the chicken so much you cant even taste the chicken

Worst food I have ever had in my life. No flavour what so ever . Disgusting. I ordered spring rolls and noodles. Never again.

Second time ordering with them, food tastes so good and delivery was quick!
They made a mistake with my order and quickly fixed it right away!
Found my new Chinese food take out place

I have ordered here a number of times. I drive truck for a living it is hard when I get to Brampton to find good restaurants that will deliver to a truck. Even during the worst of the covid they would deliver to me in my truck. I have never recieved a bad dish from them. Delivery is fast and the food is hot no need to reheat a single thing. I order from the main menu and the portions are large. I have mentioned them on the Canadian trucking Magazine web page as a great place to get good hot meals for drivers in Brampton.

Excellent food! Prompt friendly service.
Very quick delivery.

I've been getting food there for like 20 years. Always good, hot and on time
Best Chinese food in Brampton

One of the best restaurants in Brampton and customer service is simply superb. The owner Mr. Ken, is really an amazing person i have ever met.

Worst Chinese food I ever had. Everything that I ordered either tasted bad or had no flavour at all.

Food is good. But...

They lose a star for a very odd practice of charging a dollar for sauce on the side. It was explained that they do it because they have to put it in a container. It actually works out cheaper to buy a sauce on the side if you buy more than 2 combos.

-1 star for a bit of a rude service and no take out menus.

Very careless when packing their orders. I called in to tell them and they didn t offer anything unless I drove all the way back? They re ridiculous and could care less about their customers. I would rate it no star if I could.

The best Chinese food I have had in a very long time

I placed a big order at this restaurant & the staff was really helpful, patient & friendly! Made my experience really good. And the quality, price, taste and quantity of the food was amazing! It was fresh and warm when arrived at my door. Really pleased with the service provided by the restaurant & I would highly recommend it to everyone!
P.s, the pad Thai & chicken wings are amazing & worth a try !

Dirty place and food is awful full of oil and grease

Ordered here last weekend and it came super fast, in less than 30mins. The food was really good probably the best as far as takeout goes here in Brampton. I suggest trying the sampler box as it has a bit of everything; tempura shrimp, deep fried wontons, spareribs, and of course spring rolls. Will definitely be ordering here again

The food is great, customer service is awesome and delivery is prompt. They also have an option no MSG is your food, which correct me if I'm wrong I don't know of any other Chinese food restaurant or any restaurant for that matter that offers this.

I just ordered Chicken fried rice and Egg fried rice, a staple take out from Chinese eatery. Apparently, they make all the fried rice in a batch and then fry it again based on your flavor. That explains why their fried rice did not feel fresh and the chicken was raw. It was a bit salty as well. For the price, their quantity is large but for the quality you will likely throw away most of it. You should try something else there because their 3.8 rating must be based on a good fortune cookie. Also, you will notice all the five star reviews are written by folks that are trying to get a local guide status or something. People like me who have written a few reviews are not writing to get a status on google.

Best Chinese Food in Brampton. I've been ordering from here for a long time. Service and food has always been perfect!

All I asked for was hot sauce and spicy mustard. Why do I only get plum and soy? Too pricy, and too many other good options to mess up on sauce

Ordered late, this is my first time. I ordered honey chicken, house fried rice, sweet and sour pork, chicken balls and wonton soup. The food was amazing!!! Customer service was excellent, and food was delivered promptly!!! Highly recommend.

I meet friends in this nice place from time to time! This is my favorite restaurant to eat. I visit this place regularly. The food is of high quality, the crew is welcoming and the rates are decent. I like going in this place over a good lunch.

Ordered from skip the dishes. Food was not up to the standards of any other Chinese restaurant I ve ever eaten at. Won t be ordering from there again.

3 words:
General. Tao. Chicken
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Golden lakes has the best general tao chicken on the face of this earth. also their food is just overall just dam goooooood. I highly recommend this place.

Best Chinese food in Brampton. Chicken balls and Vancouver style dry ribs are amazing.

Nice neighbourhood Chinese food..Great taste n Reasonable price .Good selections of your favourite dishes

Good take out Chinese. No seating in the restaurant.

Food is delicious and well portioned. I actually get a substanial amount of chicken with my chicken noodles. The egg rolls are the best. I spent $12 and can barely finish my meal!

LEMON CHICKEN. WE ORDERED THIS MEAL FOR 3 PEOPLE AT NEARLY $30,00 THE LEMON WAS LUKE WARM AND 2 OUT OF THE 3 PEOPLE HAD DIAHREAH FROM THIS FOOD. I THINK THIS PLACE NEEDS A FOOD INSPECTOR TO CHECK IT OUT...FOOD IS NASTY AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT AFTER THIS MANY YEARS IT WOULD BE AWESOME.....BY THE WAY ...WE ORDERED THIS DISH 2 TIMES AND GOT THE SAME RESULT TWICE! OUR RECOMMENDATION.....EAT SOMEWHERES ELSE!!!!

Very good food amazing service by the girls! General Tao Chicken is really good, chicken ball has lots of chicken. Must try!!

This is a very well run, excellently organized business. Everything from a website that's better than average to food that's also on the better side of average. Favorite dishes include their egg foo yong and chicken wings, but really I'd be surprised if you go flat our wrong with anything.

Been ordering here for over 20 years. Food quality is always excellent. Staff is friendly and very organized.

Had the general tao chicken with chicken fried rice. The general tso tasted like sweet and sour chicken and was had a very thick flour batter. Hardy any chicken inside. The fried rice was dry and bland. I gave two stars because the service was friendly.

One of my favourite Chinese restaurants in Brampton. Food is great!

Food was fine, but ordered it mainly for chow mein because I wanted noodles. Their version is just chop suey (bean sprouts) with those dry noodles(crackers) with it, and still paying 10bucks for that. I thought and even if you google chow mein it is noodles, that is the whole difference to chop suey is that it comes with noodles and not these dry cracker things. Just a thought maybe you should rename it? So that was my rant, don't go here for noodles!

Professional order staff and fresh food. The stir-fried mixed veggies is always cooked to perfection---crunchy, not over-cooked and without the chemically smells that we sometimes find in some take-out meals. Their chilli-chicken is amazing----battered and fried with lots of chilli, and served in a generously filled container. We can eat here without feeling greasy and guilty.

Hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city. I've been ordering from golden lake for at least 10 years. The staff is friendly and ordering is really easy. The food is really good quality. Some of their specialty dishes are great, the sweet and sour fried spareribs are my favorite. Chilli chicken is good and so is their bacon fried rice. I'm not huge on their noodles, they're just alright. Price is good, you're definitely getting what you pay for. I definitely recommend trying them out!

We order from them every couple of months ... always hot and fresh, great tasting as well

Best chicken balls! There is actually chicken in them! And they re not stale the next day!!!!

There for Mother's day staff did well quality good.

This is truly the best tasting, Canadian Chinese cooking in Brampton. Don't be afraid. Special shanghai noodles A++++.

Sooo amazing!! This is our go to place! I highly recommend.

This is the go to spot for Chinese food my wife has been a regular over 20 years she says food hasn't changed she get the pork ribs with cartilage and lots of sauce that's her thing, for me I get the general tao chicken with Cantonese fried rice she converted me been hooked ever since been a customer 10years +

Average tasting food, the food is either a hit or a miss at times.

The fried rice lacks flavour, it's very dry and bland.

The black pepper beef taste was good, but majority of the dish was filled with green peppers.

The chop suey dish was the worst. Felt like this dish was falsely advertised. It said "chop suey + dry noodles = chow mein". All we received was bean sprouts and a bit of celery and two pieces of broccoli.

Overall, depends on the dish ordered. Some will taste delicious some will be disappoitning. Learn from the mistakes and not to order the bad dishes again. One bonus, they offer 10% off on pickup orders of $30 or more if paid with cash.

Food was ok but a little bland and lacked colour in the vegetables. Chicken balls were really good though it actually has more meat than breading.

I just ordered the beef with broccoli, Singapore noodles and chicken wings. All had no taste whatsoever. Fire the chef. Don't know how these guys are still in business. Golden Star on Lisa Street was amazing but sadly they're no longer in business. Wish it could have been Golden Lake instead.

It's garbage service they said 1 hour to deliver still waiting you can starve to death waiting for these idiots, haven't tried the food yet hopefully it's worth it, I mean I could cook a chicken fried rice already ten times before they get here.

Good food fast. I particularly like the hot and sour soup.

Chicken balls were raw and slimy. No apology just an excuse of "when we are busy we use higher temp oil so we don't have to cook them as long" . The manager didn't want to give us money back until we started telling the other customers about our experience of raw chicken.

Soooo gross. So rude.

Best Chinese food in Brampton! Highly recommended. Call ahead, pick up your order on time, take home and enjoy! This is a favorite for us on Friday nights with enough for lunch on Saturday or fried rice for breakfast. This is also a savior on holidays, after a full day of some sort of family activity it's always a bonus to pick up something I dont have to cook.

The customer service is always great and the food is also good.

I ve been ordering from them for years and they never disappoint. You also get 10% off your order if you use cash after $30 before tax I think. Who doesn t like saving money even if it s just 10%? Lol

This is by far the best take out restaurant there is in brampton ! hands down. The delivery is very quick and the food is always tasty. I highly recommend this place !!!!!
