| - Tried Golden China yesterday based on the reviews here on Yelp. Ordered for dine-in up front and chose Mongolian Beef. The food came out quickly, and it was good food and plentiful, but not quite as savory or flavorful as I've had at other restaurants. The kitchen was busy and the restaurant was full of workers taking their lunch hour.
The dining area was clean, but also very sparse. Dine-in orders are served with a small plastic fork and there are packets of duck sauce and spicy mustard on the tables, as well as a small bottle of soy sauce.
The only concern I had was the kitchen. It's an open kitchen and they have a ServSafe certificate hanging up, but I couldn't locate the sanitation rating, and being as its in SC, they're pretty generic about their scores anyway.
I witnessed the two women running the phones and cash register also handling raw chicken and eggrolls without any gloves. They were dumping these items into the fryer as fast as they could, so my concern wasn't so much about the food being contaminated by their hands that had touched the cash register, phones, etc. as I was about my credit card being handled by someone who had just handled food bare-handed. I've seen worse in some restaurants, but it was still concerning to witness it right in front of me in an open kitchen.
