Their Shrimp fried rice is the best I've had in Corpus Christi,and they give you alot. I got the Number #7 combination (Sweet and sour Chicken breast fried shrimp,fried fish, Wonton,egg roll, egg drop soup). The number 7 is good. My only issue is the shrimp and fish have too much batter and sometimes the batter is not fried all the way through. The fried chicken are so good. Chicken breast are not dried out like they are at most Chinese restaurants here in C.C. I love there egg drop soup. It also the best egg drop soup in CC I ever had. My food is always hot and freshly made. Staff are nice.

I don't like it. It taste like they pour chicken broth over it. It's dry and stale.

Your average Chinese joint. Inside is a wanna-be-fancy vibe, not my fav. Food is your every day Chinese. Sesame chicken was heavy on the breading. Never had sesame chicken with that much breading, has a Big Crunch to it. General Tso, beef & broccoli, & egg rolls were delicious. Fried rice tasted reheated, probably the worst thing there. Service was fast and friendly. Prices are high, but you can share between 2 or 3 people. My sesame chicken made 3 meals. Good place to get Chinese takeout, you can skip eating inside.

Golden Crown is located on Everhart near the Saratoga cross street. The store front looks small but the interior is surprisingly big. The interior is stuck in a time warp with older style decorations and everything the color pink. I don't mind that if the food is good but it was nothing great.
The portion size for my lunch special was very generous! It came with egg drop soup and cripsy wontons. Unfortunately, my garlic chicken entree had no flavor. It definitely needed soy sauce and garlic.
It was nice that I had enough for another meal and pricing was okay ($12+) but I don't want to pay and doctor my meal up at home.
I also ordered a hot and sour soup take out which had all of the right ingredients in them. It was just missing the savory and sourness that I have come to expect when having this soup.
Overall, prices are not bad here (for lunch) but the food is not worth the price.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Betty K.Union Square, San Francisco, CA311421Oct 2, 2023

Went there the first time with my Chinese wife last week, and was happily surprised at the quality, quan8ty and proce of their food and service. It is very competitive with any other Chinese restaurant in Corpus. We will be going back this week to explore different plates.

Glad to see nothing has changed...
Still the best Pan Fried Dumplings on the planet.
Still the best service and friendly employees.
Tonight the General Beef as well as the General Chicken were excellent.
It's a long drive to and from Port Aransas but worth the effort.
We'll be back soon.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 1, 2022Previous reviewStill the best Pan Fried Dumplings on earth.

FYI the restaurant has been recently updated/ renovated with new flooring, drop ceiling tiles, lighting fixtures and draperies. Personally, I was never influenced by their decor because the food and service are ALWAYS 5 Stars!!
Today's offerings included the spectacular pan fried to die for homemade pork dumplings, garlic chicken and general tso's chicken. Once again all were piping hot and delicious!!Jan 20, 2016Previous reviewFirst, I can't remember the last time I gave a review five stars. It was the perfect meal with all the flavor, spice and texture you would expect from a five-star meal.
We began with the fried dumplings. They were big and handmade to perfection. The pork mix inside was flavorful and fresh.
The soups arrived next. The Won Ton soup was excellent with lots of pork and fresh vegetables, the Hot and Sour soup was equally as good.
The soups broth were all homemade and every vegetable had flavor and texture.
Both were garnished with fresh mushrooms and tiny chopped green onions.
The entrées arrived and were exceptional as well.
The Sesame Chicken was perfectly fried using all white meat. The Twice Cooked Pork was wonderful as well.
This was a pleasant surprise in Corpus Christi, Texas. The service is impeccable, the place is clean and the food is outstanding. - Erika L.Swampscott, MA0269Feb 19, 2024
Food was good but almost $32 for a lemon chicken / order of shrimp egg rolls / and a soup. Not sure i would go back because of the price.

Price increases. The menu prices in the Yelp photos are not correct. Crab Rangoon is now $13.95, and I was charged $3 more for sweet and sour sauce. Asked for NO broccoli with the Sesame Chicken and was charged $3 MORE! Check for hidden charges.
