Update: second time around was so much better. The cold noodles were consistently good again. The warm noodles we tried without the pork and they were much more tasteful, the chilli oil came through better. We tried the twice fried green beans and they had so much flavour, and although a little over salted, it added to the spice and garlic ground pork. We also tried the pan fried egg noodles and added diced chicken and scrambled egg. The chicken was a little rubbery and the whole dish unfortunately had a little bit of burnt oil flavour. Other than that, the chilli oil that we asked to add was phenomenal. So much flavour and a good amount of heat, not unbearable. Glad I went back!
Well, this place is unique. The cold noodles are probably the highlight but some people at our dinner couldn’t get over the strange texture of a cold noodle. The warm noodles didn’t have the same flavour, or didn’t hold the heat and spices as well. The cumin noodles were just that- doused in an unbelievable amount of cumin. Overwhelming amount compared to no other spices being present. The peppery chicken was super-bony cuts of unrecognizable chicken parts layered in about 100 dried chilli peppers. There heat was medium and the flavour seemed only from the deep fryer. The bones and cartilage were very off-putting. Want to go back to try other things but tough to do when the prices are around $17 per dish! Haven’t found a dish here yet that I would strongly recommend.
The restaurant deserves a thumbs up for their food. I tried Stir fried noodles chicken with spicy sauce. I went with thin noodles. Although the sauce was not that spicy as per my standard but good with Canadian standard. I opted for green tea as a drink. Quantity was good. Staff is amazing. Worth a try.
I can't eat my way through Pembina fast enough. I'm happy to say that Golden Loong has been added to my list of places to eat on a Winter night. Portions are enormous and quality is 100. It's going to take me forever to eat through this menu without having to reorder some of the items I've had before. Definitely make this a go-to place to visit.
One of the best, and only, authentic Chinese restaurants in the city. The beef brisket and potatoes, and the hand-torn noodles with lamb and cumin are always a favourite!
Our first visit to this restaurant, and to be honest, I was a bit skeptical when my friend told me that it serves very authentic Xi'an cuisine.
The decor is pretty standard and nothing special, I find the menu quite impressive, with very good quality pictures of the menu items. It could use better description of the items in English though.
We ordered the fried lamb thin noodles with cumin, the spicy park hand torn noodles and also tried the cold gluten noodles to start. All the dishes were delicious and the fried noodles with cumin had a very strong aroma but when you eat it, it actually was not overwhelming at all and very tasty.
I would've liked the hand torn noodles to be smaller as I find it a bit difficult to eat with such wide and long strands. I expected it to be spicier but good nonetheless. I'm planning to come back and try some main dishes next!
Been here twice and service and food were good, prompt and fast. Although my Chinese friend who tasted authentic Chinese food in China said it's just alright but I think the food is satisfying but not totally great.
I think my fave here would be the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. I usually get the thin noodle but will definitely try the wide noodle next time.
The Xi'an hand-pulled noodles was ok. Not super good but might be a bit spicy for me. The noodles were perfect though, still al dente.
The stewed pork burger was good but a bit oily, like dripping in oil and while the pulled pork was soft and juicy, it tasted like spam/luncheon meat for some reason.
I'll definitely come back here and try their other menu.
Golden Loong is nothing short of exemplary! The employees are wonderful and friendly and they remember me every time I come in! The food is delicious, flavourful and the portion sizes make the entrées very reasonably priced. I would give this 6 out of 5 if I could!
First visit - huge success! A friend at work recommended this place to everyone, after she learned that the owners are from the same town as hers in China. This is NOT like any other Chinese food you can get in the city. There's not a greasy chicken ball in sight! The funniest thing about this place is the menu - the Chinese to English translations are hilarious, totally non-descriptive, and should be considered for their INTENDED meaning, and not for the literal. We tried the Chicken in iron wok, at a medium spice level, which kicked my ass in a good way! Also, an awesome noodle and chicken dish, with incredible home-made wide noodles, which tasted similar to some mooshi's I've tried around town, and lastly, the Chinese cabbage in vinegar sauce. Strange-sounding yes, but easily one of the best Chinese dishes I've ever had!
Prices are high, but considering the serving sizes are easily double the norm, and you'll definitely be bringing home most of what you order, it may actually be cheaper per serving than most places.
We'll be back!
Best handmade noodles in Winnipeg! Need to get back there soon. It's always very crowded, which in our books is a good sign. Plus of all the Asian restaurants in the area this one has the most authentic Chinese food. Don't go there thinking you're going to get sweet and sour battered chicken balls and beef fried rice... This is not that restaurant. Fabulous food, truly fabulous food!
Golden Loong delivers tasty and incredibly reasonably priced Northern Chinese fare. Despite the dated exteriors, the restaurant is one that should not be missed for anyone from Northern China or wanting to try a different type of Chinese cuisine. Just be warned of the tongue numbing heat found in most of the dishes.
