Being from Northern California I have a completely different standard for Chinese food than is usually present in Arizona. Most of the people I grew up with of Chinese extraction were were either from Taishan or Guangdong - it's really hard to find sizzling rice soup in the Valley of the Sun but Golden Valley does it well. The service is great, the food is better. It is a little whole in the wall in a strip mall so don't expect the nicest decor even if it is clean and everything is in decent shape.
