Editorial Review for Golden Horse – by Ivy Manning
In Short
The no-frills, fluorescent-lit dining room and brusque, but smiling waitstaff keeps the focus on the expertly prepared food. Seafood is a specialty here; everything from butter-tender scallops in velvety sauce to whole ginger-steamed fish is still flopping-fresh. Less adventurous types love the well-prepared standards like the pleasantly spicy Mongolian beef and bountiful chow mein.

This is obviously not a place for a date with its outdated decor and fluorescent lighting. However, if you care for authentic cantonese food, you will not be disappointed. We came from San Francisco bay area. Me, raised in China, husband, an HIGHLY TRAINED white , both agree that food is genuinely delicious. There we were, wandering in the Chinatown on our trip, trying to find a place to eat. Read the menu on about every restaurants in China town, totaling about 6 (?!). Only two stood out as serving authentic full menu . There is another one looked ok, but for noodle porridge type of food. Yes, you can tell from the menu. What we ordered? Chicken Tofu sheet mushroom soup(soup of the day), sauteed scallop, eggplant anchovy stew, and the BBQ pork fried rice (in case the restaurant is a put off, can't go too wrong on a fried rice). Unfortunately oyster is sold out on that night, otherwise we would have ordered it steamed, with black bean sauce. No complaints what's so ever, food was cooked what it supposed to taste like in China, and huge portion. When the check came, found out soup and rice are both complimentary. Plus the no sales tax bargain, this meal would have cost about 40% more in California.
Pros: Authentic delicious, Good price
Cons: outdated interior

Anyplace that smells primarily like urine and old wood more than cooking food should probably be avoided. But, having eaten here before and enjoying it, I ordered the orange chicken anyway. It came out drowned in soy sauce. My date's sweet and sour chicken was undercooked. Both dishes were completely inedible. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, under any circumstances. *shudder*
Pros: none
Cons: smells awful.
