1015 Nogales St, Ste 129
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
(located in 99 Ranch)
After being in Indianapolis, Indiana for a week I was in dire need for some Asian food. RICE was all my mind was saying on my last day in Indi. I loved Indianapolis for it's picturous views of green that goes on for miles and blue skies that were perfection. However, living in CA, I am accustomed to having many different types of cuisines within a couple miles of my house! Therefore, first stop was ASIAN FOOD!
Golden China is ideal if you do not want to wait 1hr+ on a Friday night or spend more than 10 dollars a person. This is a cash only establishment and it's located inside the 99 Ranch Market off of Nogales.
Green Onion Pancake (2.95)
Xiao Long Bao (5.95)
Yes, I know. Din Tai Fung XLB's are world renown. After a 2 hour wait, they are not as delicious in my eyes! :) The ones here at Golden China are plump and juicy. Fill in the obvious joke! The skins are a little thicker than Din Tai Fung but just as or even more delicious. Be careful because they are extra hot when they come out. I could eat a whole set by myself.
Beef Noodle Soup w/ Knife Cut Noodles (5.95)
This is the star of the night! I love the texture of their hand cut noodles. I love that they have more of a chew then regular noodles. The meat is tender but I only wish there were more pieces! I believe we got like 3 pieces - I took it at an angle where it looks like we have many more! :) I love the pickled vegetable that they place on top - you can ask for more - I just point since I do not speak Mandarin. The broth is savory but not so rich and not oily. Must try!
All this - plus spicy wontons - for 20 dollars! WINNER!
If you are in the Rowland Heights area and maybe need to do some shopping - stop by this place!
