Golden Harbour - what can I say? It is truly the authentic Chinese cuisine for sure. When you come in, you are the one to put your own order in, pick any table that's open, sit down and write out your food then bring it up to the cashier and pay. They ask you NOT to tip because there is a $3 charge to clean up your table once you leave. It's not the most pleasant looking restaurant and the furniture is not comfy. The tables are outdated and the chairs are probably older than me (don't ask how old I am!!!).
The food also may not be appealing to the eye but man, does it have great flavor. I've been here many times whenever my sibling needed to come back to campus (or leave for the holidays). And I always order the same darn thing: WHITE STEAMED FISH WITH SCALLIONS, CILANTRO AND BEAN SPROUTS. This dish is heaven heaven heaven. It's lightly seasoned but the fresh veggies and herbs make this such a delectable dish. It might not look appetizing but you cannot knock it until you try it. Then then serve you jasmine rice the size of a small rice cooker - probably like 4 servings worth. I never feel heavy after eating that fish.
This is a bittersweet review only because this was probably the last time I'll ever be around the U of I campus again. My sibling graduated and this was their main go to for chinese food.
