My first time here went so well, I ended up ordering more food to-go, for later. Have you tried the schezwan squid yet? You should! Parking was free and plentiful. It is a nice homestyle family restaurant.
Ah, Golden Lion. Pretty decent for Chinese food. The quality of the food is good, service is good. Although it all tends to be quite heavy, it's a good hangover food!
Good food. Can always count on taste. Been eating from here for years
Tasty!. I have ordered takeout here and the food is pretty darn good. They do the standards well and make a mean ginger chicken. My counter person/server was great. I will be back.
I love their food. I lived off their won ton soup for a long time when I was sick and unable to eat. Staff is very nice too.
Never disappoints. Golden Lion is our go-to restaurant for Chinese food. Take out is always fast and the food is good.The restaurant itself isn't fancy, but the service is good. Great place to feed a crowd and not break the budget.
Ginger Beef. Golden Lion has the best ginger beef I've ever found in Victoria. It is really saucy and has softened onion and carrot shreds in it. Service is always excellent and fast!
This was my first Chinese experience since coming to Westshore and I was pleasantly surprised. I had heeded the comments of fellow Urbanspooners who said to make sure your order did in fact contain everything purchased. Which it did. The staff were very nice and the food was delicious, cheap and of a good portion size. I will definately order from here again.
We have been eating in and getting take-aways from here for years and can honestly say we have never, ever had bad food or service. We've tried other places, some much more expensive, but they're never as good. We have 2 boys, now teenagers, and this is an inexpensive way to feed the family. I notice that some people who don't like this place are complaining about min $45 for delivery, but with the price of petrol, who can blame the restaurant? Don't be lazy, go get your own food! This place is awesome and in fact, we're off there tonight with my 90 year old mother who also loves it.
This place is really nice. they did some renos and it looks decent inside but they have really good food. I enjoyed it very much, they were fast and worth every penny. We live in Sooke so we ordered take away another time and when we got home the food was still warm and just as tasty. for those who complain about not being able to use debit for delivery - it says so on the menu and even so chinese food do not go bad if you put it in the fridge and heat up the next day. I must say it was equally good the next day for us. just to point out the the sczechuan chicken is fried and there is no sauce with it. Overall Really good chinese food.
Yummie. We stopped for the first time at the Golden Lion last week. At first I was a little sceptical, only four other patrons were inside. However, we ordered 4 dishes and to our surprise they were all very delicious. I would give these people 4.5 stars and recommend that you try them out. The staff was very attentive and happy. Keep up the good work.
Westshore yumminess. Seschwan chicken superb!!
try the chinese sausage spicy little number!
so good would go again in a heartbeat!
AWESOMERRRRRR. First of all anyone who says the food isn't good obviously expect the unexpected when it comes to Chinese food. This is thee best Chinese food in Victoria and Vancouver Island. The complainers don't know what they're talking about and would probley return a Big Mac if it didn't look like the picture. GREAT FOOD, PEOPLE and PRICES!! NO MSG!!!!! Its Chinese Food that stays in you - if you catch my drift!
We moved out to the western communities last year. I really like this restaurant; very western Chinese food. The price is reasonable and the portions and good. It took us awhile before we food a Chinese restaurant that we both liked. The food always seems very fresh and you get a variety of mixed vegetables. Would recommend; and I'm a picky eater.
Good choice. Having just moved to Langford from Downtown Victoria, we were on the hunt for a new local Chinese food place.
I used to work in a Chinese food restaurant and therefore am pretty picky and know what I like!
The service was quick and the lady at the front was friendly and efficient. Food was good, I especially enjoyed the Honey Garlic Boneless!
Great Place!. We've been there several times in the last 9 months or so, after moving and finding it quite by accident, while still learning the area around the westshore mall.
It has always been excellent and the lady at the front, (we've only just seen one), is always friendly and pleasant, and the service always fast. Usually pretty quiet inside, but they do more business for take out than dine in. Today were there and there were 5 tables inside and 9 out the door in the time we were sitting. Regardless if we have 7 people and order alacarte, or two and get the combo 'b', it is always lots and tasty. Hard to find decent chinese without going all the way downtown, and this is 15mins from our house near the 'bear', but is now our regular stop! Good Good Good!
Great food and great service. Try the Ginger and Onion Beef!!
The staff at golden lion are very pleasant, if you are waiting for takeout there is often a hot cup of tea offered. The food is good, varied and fresh with cantonese and sechuan being the style.
Now, I am not one who normally enjoys "Canadianized" Chinese food; especially, in Langford! In my experience there isn't much for choice in Langford and the restaurants you can choose from tend not to be that great (see reviews on Happy Wok and Asian Noodle House ). My wife came home with her sister last night and were craving some Chinese take-away. We decided to try Golden Lion. I must mention that I have ordered from Golden Lion once before; however, it was quite a while ago, I will say, I quite enjoyed it. We ordered the Wonton Soup, Crispy Ginger Beef, Mushroom Chow Mien, House Fried Rice (rice, veggies, egg, chicken, bbq pork & shrimp) and Sweet & Sour Pork. I chose to pick it up as I had some other errands to run before hand and was surprised that it would only take 15 minutes to be ready. I arrived about 20 minutes after ordering and our food was ready and piping hot. I can't review the whole meal as I stayed away from the wonton soup and sweet & sour pork. I don't mind the tas
Food was fresh and delicious. Service was fantastic! Great overall experience
I've been eating this food for a very long time. Saturday night the power was out but luckily GLR still had power. Order a dinner for 4 and waited in the parking lot for it. Normally I do not expect a lot from take out, any take out but they did it up right and it was great. Thanks Gold Lion.
Of all the Chinese food places I've visited from the island to Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley, this place is by far the best.
Salt and pepper prawns have chili pepper (not black pepper) and we were talking about them the next day they were so good. Wonton soup is also amazing, large portion size great for sharing with a group.
This is one of my favourite places to eat....I luv the food , every dish I've ordered was so tasty, they make one of the best almond chicken dishes, great people, fun and light atmosphere its a must try eat there or order in ...yum
Great local restaurant. Good quality food and friendly staff. Been going there for over 12 years and always have been pleased with everything.
Been going here for years. Great staff. Fast service. Good food. If you eat in they sure make you feel like family. Love supporting this run family business.
First good Chinese I have had so far on the island.
Consistently awesome and has been for years ! A great local family business , please support them! Quality, tasty, consistently great Chinese food.
