I have been going to Golden Valley since I was a kid, and it's always been fantastic. The food is great, extra cheap, and can be cooked just how you want it. I love their hot and sour soup and lemon chicken especially.
Your water glass is never empty! Service is good.
Norah is right, Tom is the shiznit. Fantastically nice service, and it's genuine. if you go there more than a couple of times, it's a good chance he will remember you. On busy nights he isn't so much waiting tables as running around talking with friends.
Highly recommended.
