| - It's been 2 years since I last reviewed Gold Stone and I decided it was time to give an update.
Interesting fact - Gold Stone was in the opening scene of the latest triple X movie staring Vin Diesel.
Today I ordered the hoi nam chicken with rice. At $7.25, you get a plate of boneless chicken (wow!!) with some bok choy, a huge plate of rice (nice chewy texture, though a bit on the hard side, and the rice could be more flavourful although there were ginger and some other spices in it, I just ate it with the ginger, scallion sauce), 2 sauces (one hot and spicy, the other is the green onion/ginger/scallion) and some vinegar infused carrots and radish. Oh, and this lunch special also comes with a hot drink, I got the HK-style tea. There was so much food that I had to take some home.
Gold Stone is always bustling at lunch time, and it never fails to deliver fast, cheap and filling entrees :)
Review from 2015:
This is my go-to place at lunch. Food is ok, cheap, and service is super fast. When you're done eating, you pay at the cashier. They have lunch specials (ho nam chicken with rice, bbq pork.on rice, etc.) at $7.95, and includes a drink (HK style tea or coffee). The congee is ok ($4.75) and they have a variety of noodle soups (beef brisket, pork chop) around the same price. Don't expect much from the decor or bathroom (down a steep flight of stairs) and service is so-so (they speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English).
