What People Are Saying About Golden Inn Chinese Restaurant

The Scene
Tucked away in a suburban shopping center called--maybe a little too self-importantly--the Willow Bend Towne Centre, Golden Inn is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. For one thing, it's in Lutz. The restaurant's decor is modest--oak booths, elementary blue-and-beige color scheme, chandeliers that look like they came from Home Depot--but unusually tidy and clean. At noon, the restaurant features a big buffet located in back, priced at a very reasonable $4.95.

The Food
Typical Chinese favorites, but very well-done.

What to Order
It would be hard to go wrong here with anything: Vegetables are fresh, fried dishes crisp; the rice is newly made--not warmed over; and the homemade noodles are delicious. Especially good among a number of excellent dishes on the menu are the eggrolls--not some limp, greasy version, but crisp veggies carefully wrapped and fried golden; they crumble and crunch in your mouth. Another standout was the egg foo young, usually a terrible disappointment, but Golden Inn's version was a winner. It looked like a sand-dollar size circle of egg and fresh veggies, so light it seemed almost like a souffle. And do try dessert, it was swell, too.

When I walked into the Golden Inn, I instantly had a good vibe from the atmosphere and staff. The service was fantastic because you can tell that they have been very well trained. Now onto the food... The best chinese food I have ever had! I have been to several other take-out/ dine in restaurants in search of one that put quality into their food. I ordered the Seafood Delight, coming with tender, full shrimp with delicious scallops and crabmeat, sauteed veggies, and in a suculent chef specality white sauce. Not only their dinner was great, but a killer appetizer to go for is the Crabmeat Rangoon, the best that I have ever had in my life! For dessert, I was surprised by a complimentary dish of Honey Banana, which were highly above my satification level. If you haven't tried this place out, I would strongly recommend this joint. Thank you CitySearch for helping me find my favorite chinese restaurant!

The food here is always the freshest and I've never had any disappointments with any of the dishes. They have a very nice lunch buffet, as well. The selection is small but well varied and always delicious. Top quality!
