| - Just moved out of Champaign, and I dream of the day I can go back to eat at Golden Harbor. I have been going to Golden Harbor for over 8 years, and the food never ceases to amaze me. If you have the chance to interact with Tina, you'll not only be treated with kindness and compassion, but get recommendations based on your likes and dislikes. As a vegetarian, Tina has always impressed me with recommending "off the menu" dishes that are vegetarian and are catered to my taste. Recently, she recommended a spicy, fried noodle dish, which I order every time I go in. The crispy tofu is a must, but there are so many other dishes which are delicious. Ask for recommendations on new dishes if Tina is at the front! She won't disappoint.
If you're new to Golden Harbor, going with a group and ordering 3-4 dishes to try is the way to go. I highly recommend the potatoes in black pepper sauce, the crispy tofu, pan-fried noodles, and eggplant in wulur sauce, and the cheese rangoons to start, but everything I've had here is seriously delicious.
We have brought Golden Harbor to-go for friends on plane rides out of Champaign, as well as had our day after our wedding lunch here due to multiple requests by friends to eat at Golden Harbor. Once you eat here, you'll see why.
Pro-tip: If you're craving GH but don't want to eat in, order around 5pm by phone or in person for pick up. Food is usually ready in 10 minutes.
Eat a dish for me, I wish I could go back!
