The Golden Duck is a great neighborhood restaurant to get Chinese food at a fair price.

Half of the restaurant looks like an old diner.

And the other half looks like an old restaurant.

We started off with Crispy Gau Gee (8 pieces), $5.25. These little fritters were tasty, but not amazing. I like that it came with 8 pieces so each of us were allowed two each. It didn’t come with sweet and sour sauce, so remember to ask for it because it makes these things much tastier.

It was a basic won ton wrapped around pork meat.

Justin ordered the Chicken with Honey Glazed Walnut, $8.75. In my opinion this dish is like Orange Chicken, the first bite or two is always amazing but after that my palate gets bored and I find myself eating something else. I’ve tasted many Honey Glazed Walnuts and I do want to say that this is the best I’ve had, but it doesn’t change the fact that after the second bite, I had enough and was pleased to see more food on the lazy Susan to spin my way.

The famous Mongolian Beef, $7.95. The flavor was good but the beef was a little chewy. I’m not a fan of the rice noodle styrofoam things underneath. They serve no purpose except to make consumers think they have been given more food than what they were actually given.

This was Shane’s order, Chicken Fried Rice, $6.50. If you love peas, this is the fried rice for you. It was totally overloaded with peas. I’m a fan of peas, so it didn’t bother me, however, everyone at the table said the same thing, “way too much peas.” Besides the peas, the flavor was right on, but the chicken was scarce. More chicken, less peas and it would of been fabulous.

One thing I like about having Chinese food is that food is brought to you as soon as it’s made since it’s family style. The foods piping hot and everyone gets to eat. However, we go the first two dishes and when we were all done eating, I had to remind them that we were still waiting on one more dish. Oh well.
