We had takeaway here and it was really disappointing. The salt and pepper squid was very oily and chewy - clearly not fresh - and so salty! We threw m…

10 Reviews on “Golden Rice”
My friends had kept talking about this place for its home style cooking; finally I was brought there. Before stepping in, my friends had warned me not to expect a good service and mentioned that the owner was sort of rude. The owner rushed us to place our order probably because there were people waiting for their tables. It’s such a small restaurant; that’s why the seats were limited. Not only the owner was serving, but also a waiter. He was actually quite nice and efficient. The service was adequate. My friends managed to order: Three cups chicken: rich in flavours and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Mapo Tofu: the dish didn’t come out with a thick coating of hot chili oil covering its surface which I heard keeping the contents underneath hot, and lacked a little flavour. chicken soup: my friends quite liked this soup, but personally it was too oily. stir fry glass noodle with vegetable coated with omelette: loved the creation and perfect mixture and texture.Take away seemed to be popular as I saw many people came in to pick up their food. My friends sometime did takeaway here for the reason that the food was nice and good valued.
This restaurant has survived for more than 20 years for some reasons. One of the reason is that it was one of the very few restaurants with Taiwanese style cooking back then. Still think of it when we’re considering to have takeaways or Taiwanese dishes. Many of their Taiwanese home-cooking dishes are still irreplaceable for many people that I know despite the dining environment and sometimes slow service.
This used to be a reasonably good restaurant, but now, it’s one of the worst in the Sunnybank area. These days, they seem to be cheating customers with smaller and smaller portions of the main dish disguised with the use of massive amount of cheap ingredients. For example, I ordered ‘Mongolian Lamb’ and it was more than 90% onions and less than 10% lamb meat!!! Why don’t they call it ‘Mongolian Onions’ instead!!! ‘Fried Fish Fillet’ was almost fried batter coating throughout with very, very little fish fillet inside!!! Should have been called ‘Fried Batter Coating’ and not fish fillet!!! Try ordering similar dishes at other Chinese restaurants and you’ll see the huge difference. This is a totally dishonest way of doing business (they are simply cheating their customers who may not be familiar with Chinese food). For the same price, most other Chinese restaurants around the area (eg. at Market Square) will give you meat portions at least 2-3 times more than what they will give you here (and with more authentic taste too). If you don’t want to feel cheated of your money, AVOID this restaurant… there are better places to dine in the area!
Decided to come here after reading all the good reviews about it. The shop comes with no frills but def delivered everything I wanted: simple good home food. Ordered the mapo tofu and pickled omelette and was given a free bowl of soup by the lady. Her attitude was really good too. Def returning back for more.
This is our regular Chinese takeaway (everyone needs one)! I read other reviews that say that the lady at the counter is rude. I honestly haven’t spent enough time talking to her to find out. I order my food, she gives me a time and I collect. Nice and easy, and the food is tasty. Never had a complaint about their service or food. Enjoy the golden fried rice, the satay chicken, curry beef and curry vegetables (comes with glass noodles which I ask them to remove).If you’re looking for a regular and cheap Chinese takeaway with decent food, this is the place for you. If you’re looking for a deep and meaningful conversation with the staff, perhaps not.
In Golden Rice, the only thing that’s really good is the Golden Fried Rice. The rest are average, and the Mongolian Beef tastes weird. If you want Asian food in this area, then I would suggest Kings Food, which is in Sunnybank Hills Shopping Town, which is the shopping center right next to Golden Rice. But if you do come here, I would suggest the Golden Fried Rice.
Golden rice is hidden @ sunnybank hills, a great treat for those that stay around. Try and book if you’re eating in as the place is usually full!A must try item would be the salt and pepper pork ribs, I absolutely love the dish! The service there is pretty decent too, the food comes relatively fast. And if the shop is full, just takeaway a few dishes to head home and savour it! Will definitely be coming back more than once! The only drawback is that this place only accepts cash so make sure you have some in your wallet!
