    Best egg rolls you will ever eat in your life!!
    Golden Palace egg rolls are close to the top of the list of things I miss most about my hometown. No trip back home is complete until I have eaten my weight in them.
    That being said, the food is the only reason to go. The restaurant's decor is very outdated, right down to the dishes. Parking is limited at busy times (and it's pretty much always busy). We usually just get it to go.
    I don't think anything about this restaurant has changed since I was a kid!

    I came by here when my friend wanted me to try the best Chinese food in Ottawa and knows I'm picky with Chinese food.

    Just a heads up, it's not a traditional Chinese place, more of a Canadian-Chinese take out restaurant.  This is not an authentic Chinese restaurant for you foodies.

    The food wasn't great from the items my friend ordered but I must admit the egg rolls weren't bad.

    Fortunately for me we didn't get terrible service.  The place is a little dated and overpriced but if you like the old school Canadian-Chinese restaurants this place might be for you.

    Service is hit and miss.

    There are a few grumpy folk, then a really polite young guy.

    I have come here to eat in and picked up. Picking up is sort of hard because of the limited parking (try behind it, much more room!).

    The eggrolls are good but expensive for what they are. The rest of the stuff is pretty good. Very home made and old school. Apparently it's the kind of Chinese food my parents ate back in the day at restaurants. Till this day I don't know what they meant by that but I guess it's a good thing.

    THE BEST EGG ROLLS ON EARTH!

    Golden Palace dishes out delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine with fast, friendly service. They make their egg rolls and plum sauce from scratch and you'll be amazed how delightful they are! You can take home half-cooked egg rolls to be served at home as well.

    The menu is like most Chinese-Canadian restaurants, but the quality is like no other I've tasted.

    How 'bout them egg rolls Mr. Goldstone?

    Golden Palace is a Chinese restaurant on Carling, and a popular one at that.

    Just looking at the building, you can tell the restaurant has been around for a while. It's not too run down, but it certainly shows its age. The biggest challenge with the restaurant is parking; on busy nights finding a spot isn't always easy since they have a very limited parking lot. Parking on a nearby street is your best bet.

    The inside is pretty big, with a fair sized waiting area and a good amount of tables. The decor is interesting. The atmosphere is obviously Asian, but there is a lot stuff packed in there. It doesn't take away from the tables, but it does look a bit cluttered.

    The food is good, darn good. That is why people come here constantly, and that is why they continue to stay busy. It's all the classic Chinese food you'd want. The bar, however, is a bit lacking. The physical bar itself is incredibly small and serves as a service bar. The drinks are limited, with domestic beer and basic liquor.

    Come here for the food, not the bells and whistles.

    Best Chinese food hands down, their egg rolls have no equal.

    That said, make sure you are going for the food.

    The decor of the restaurant is nice, but it's very old.

    They don't deliver.

    Limited parking spots for a place that is always busy.

    G.L.'s review couldn't be more wrong!  The food wasn't greasy at all, the eggrolls are truly to die for, and the main dishes we ordered were delicious!  The food came quickly and the service was good.  It was a bit pricy, but it was well worth it!
