Golden Garden in Rokkeveen

We ate with a large group. The food was tasty, although the satay was very dry. The service left something to be desired. They almost never came to take our drink orders; we had to ask for them ourselves. It also took a very long time for the food to arrive. Not the best Chinese restaurant in my opinion, just okay.

Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I got some "Chinese" food. 2 spring rolls and several portions of pansit. €28.50! That's almost 67 old-fashioned guilders. Very expensive and actually not tasty because of the grease. I was served with difficulty by the man there, a wait of about 5 minutes because he was paying more attention to his phone. There is no friendliness to be found here; he is actually a rude boor. So, I won't be going back here anytime soon.

The food is amazing. Of course, it was a bit too much.

The best Chinese restaurant in the entire area. If your restaurant is packed on a weekday evening and people are queuing outside for takeout, then you are doing something right!

We had a delicious meal with a group of 20 people. Various dishes were placed on the table for us, each one better than the last. It is also a beautiful Chinese-style restaurant. Excellent service, for example by moving dishes back and forth so that everyone could taste everything.

Delicious food, good service, and a very cozy atmosphere. Great value for money. Really top-notch.

This restaurant used to be one of the better Chinese eateries in Zoetermeer. Unfortunately, prices have risen, while the amount of meat has decreased and, sadly, the quality has declined as well.

Mother's Day at the Chinese... incredibly busy. Quality not very special, but tasty.

Great food and fast and personal service

We have been getting our food here for at least 20 years. We usually order the chicken satay, which I actually find to be a sticky mess, so this time we opted for the satay babi... I have no idea which animal they used for that, but it was terribly tough (read: impossible to chew), and there were also actual chunks of fat in it??? This dish doesn't even deserve the name Satay Babi. Additionally, we had spring rolls which were just fine... a lot of bean sprouts, though, but they were good! So, no more satay for us at this Chinese place!

We ordered Cantonese rijsttafel, and I licked my fingers clean. So delicious 😋

Delicious food, we get takeout and that is also great.

Very good and tasty food, but pricey! Ordering food in advance is not possible! Not reachable by phone after 5:00 PM...

Good food, perhaps add the "smile and sweet" option to the menu...? The lady knows all the dishes and prices by heart, doesn't write anything down, which is quite remarkable in itself. Still, I miss the smile and a bit more expression when ordering, during service, and when paying.

Delicious food. Large portions at a very good price. I recommend it!

We had three spring rolls and pangsit goreng. The banana was soft and mealy, and the batter around it was very thick. We have had much better spring rolls, though; these were filled with nothing but a lot of bean sprouts and some chicken. It's a shame; usually we are satisfied, but not this time.

I can certainly understand that Chinese takeout is getting more expensive these days. But cutting corners on taste and quality? Today the nasi tasted like white rice and the bami like standard noodles, and on top of that, there was hardly anything in it. For five years, we have been coming all the way from the Stadshart specifically to this restaurant in Rokkeveen. Now we’ll just have to look for something else. What a shame!!!

We had a good experience, their customer service was awesome

I asked beforehand if the food was halal; upon receiving a yes, I ordered one vegan nasi with separate chicken Cheshew. I came home to eat, and there was HAM in my nasi?! I called the restaurant, but no answer… had to drive back myself and wait for my food again..

I've been coming here for years. The beef with broccoli is really delicious! We often just get takeout too. Generous portions.

Just a real Dutch Chinese restaurant. Delicious and cozy.

Had a great time and enjoyed the food.

Delicious food, beautifully set tables, and clean restrooms. Friendly staff—in short, highly recommended.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. We've always had excellent takeout food in the past, but the last two times have been downright disappointing. The bami and nasi were barely filling. The last time we received what felt like reheated, chewy food. So, the two stars are based on our previous experiences, which don't guarantee future results. It's a shame.

Golden Garden in Zoetermeer, in the Rokkeveen district, is a Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood's shopping center. Inside, there's a takeaway section and the restaurant. Service is businesslike. The atmosphere is okay, quite busy for a weekday evening. I noticed the restaurant is popular with older people. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The food was brought to the table within 5 minutes of ordering, which I have some reservations about. The cha sieuw was delicious, as was the Peking duck. We had a great evening!

Ordered takeout, but unfortunately, it was disappointing. The food wasn't fresh and tasted very oily. The chicken was tough and seemed old. We called because the order was incorrect, but they didn't handle it very well. Unfortunately, one of us also got sick after eating. We won't be back.

Standard chinese, good food, too much as usual.

The food is always good and the staff are friendly and the restaurant is beautiful and I am a regular customer.

I took home takeout in the evening. I ordered without eggs (since I don't eat meat or eggs). It turned out the food at home contained eggs. The next day (today), I called the restaurant. Instead of apologizing and resolving the issue, they told me no dietary requirements had been specified and that we could just eat the nasi. It was as if I didn't know what I eat and what I don't. Otherwise, according to the restaurant, we should have ordered vegan nasi. Apparently, they don't know the difference between vegan and lacto-vegetarian. In any case, the restaurant has no service and no manners when they tell a lacto-vegetarian to eat a dish with eggs. I can't describe this approach.

tables a bit close together but great service and delicious food

Tastier. Good chef. Expensive though.

Remains the best in Zoetermeer.

Great tasty food, very good service

Delicious food and good service.

Nice restaurant with good food. We got takeout from Hennem.

We ate here to celebrate a birthday. The menu offers enough variety to please everyone.

I've been coming here for years; the food is excellent, and the service is good and friendly. The prices are reasonable, and it's no problem to take home leftovers; they're neatly put in a container. I hope to be coming here for many years to come.

Delicious food. Friendly staff who really take the time to assist you.

Enjoyed a pleasant and tasty meal

Staff nice, food good, atmosphere old-fashioned

Today for the first time something got nasi Golden Garden inedible beef with red was just like Goulash. The satay and peanut sauce just dirty light in the trash. You have to pay for the containers while this has been abolished by the government so extra income. Never again

The food was great and the atmosphere and service were very good

Friendly staff and service, delicious food.

Easy to get a seat and attentive staff. Portions were huge and well cooked

Great food, good service and we like to come here

Had dinner there yesterday with the four of us, it was well occupied but reserved and served quickly after ordering. Food was fine and plentiful. Recommended.

Got food today, found it very expensive, compared to when you sit here with drinks. Also very unfortunate that many mistakes were made, while I had clearly stated my order. Not reachable by phone in the evening, so could not call about it. Not being careful with food is very annoying for people with allergies.

Delicious food and hospitable service!

Great restaurant. Knew it from hearsay. The food is good. The portions are of good size. I can recommend this restaurant.

We had dinner here last weekend and it was, in a word, bad! The restaurant is full of the famous tattooed Tokkie van Zoetermeer! Tables full of Tokkies talking at a high volume! The whole birthday was ruined by our elderly! Restaurant owners are probably used to this in Zoetermeer! We won't be coming back here again! Children have learned the word K here! Apart from everything, they are way too expensive here and the food is extremely spicy!

We regularly get take-out from here and occasionally eat there. Today we wanted to eat in the restaurant at 5 p.m. When we walked in we had the choice of a small table opposite the toilets or a table for 2 opposite the kitchen entrance. The other tables were either reserved or not reserved but intended for regular customers, who were therefore not allowed to sit opposite the toilet or kitchen entrance. Those places are exclusive for... as regular customers? This is such a shame. We felt so unwelcome.

Last time the spring rolls were less good, but this time they were great as usual.

This is the best Chinese restaurant in Zoetermeer

Voor de 3e keer gehaald en voor de 3e keer aangebrand. Kippensoep veel te zout. Dit was de laatste keer.

always good food and a spring roll is a great treat

It's a shame that there aren't really any options for vegans and that there wasn't really any thought given...too bad

Delicious food. I had a dish with pork tenderloin and cashew nuts. My husband had a dish with beef tenderloin and black bean sauce

Delicious food, large menu, very nice service. Much better than most restaurants in the Netherlands!

**Disappointing experience with service** Golden Garden suddenly no longer takes telephone orders. They only accept reservations for dining in the restaurant. That's fine in itself, but the big problem is that they don't answer the phone between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM. How should you make a reservation or know if there is still room? Especially in these times, customer friendliness should be a priority. There is enough competition. Very unfortunate, because I had better expectations from them. Hopefully they address this quickly or not. Food was always good. From now on, order elsewhere by telephone and now make reservations elsewhere for 22 people due to the anniversary.

Forgotten spring roll when picking up. Last time portion of prawn crackers. I didn't say anything about the latter because it is only small. Because I can't hear anything on the phone right now. I did pay for this. I'll call again tomorrow. For me it is too far to go back and forth quickly (half an hour). Bad!

If you call 23 times and there is no answer or you are pushed away, then my appetite has gone

Yesterday we got some Chinese food, as we often do, and what I noticed was that the bowls of noodles and nasi have become a lot smaller, so we actually fell short, so it's a shame they didn't mention that. Greetings from Swieten

Generous plate size, great flavour.

Never discovered such a perfect restaurant!!

Tried again today, unfortunately hope is lost again. I haven't been there for a while, mainly because things sometimes went wrong with the order and because the meat dishes such as babi pangang were always very dry and stiff. Unfortunately the same thing again today. Foe yong hai with pork turned out to be with chicken when I got home and I thought I would try the babi pangang bacon, which should normally be soft meat with a crispy rind edge. That container I got (again), it was so hard baked (almost black) that I couldn't cut it, insanely hard, dry and stiff. It seemed as if everything that came back from the restaurant had been fried up quite a bit and they were literally throwing it into your takeaway container, or the chef had a problem with his eyes. If you saw the babi bacon on the table, it seems that they think that what goes out through the bags, those people will not return quickly because they are already at home. Unfortunately I do. I went back once before and didn't get my money back because I didn't have the noodles with me. Now she does, and she didn't want to give the money back for the noodles at first, what good is a bare bowl of noodles??? So I returned this because I wanted my money back for the babi pangang bacon. I've been coming there for about 15 years, but when I complained and showed her, she turned around like a leaf from a tree and the nice Chinese suddenly became not so nice anymore... If looks could kill I would have this message can no longer write. She advised me (a regular customer) to look for another Chinese person. This advice was not necessary because I already had this line of thought. Now especially after this arrogant, wisecracking and highly irritated attitude and behavior. The money was slammed onto the counter and she turned and walked away without saying anything. So people be warned. If you get food there, just like it, because if you think anything of it, she will get angry. I will indeed look for another Chinese

Staff could be a bit more polite and polite!!

Recommended, good quality food delivered, except for 1 dish, the ku lo kai was a bit tough. But the rest was fine, we remember this restaurant.

Babi pangang hard, dry and chewy Chicken curry. Lots of coarsely chopped onions. Prawn crackers good. Waiting time 25 minutes. Not coming back

As so often the past 30 years or so, get a delicious Chinese meal today at Golden Garden. Order placed with the employee, wait, order ready, go home. At home the order turned out to be incomplete, barely half, so I called and it turned out that the employee had written it down incorrectly, so I was allowed to walk back, my guests were waiting at home to eat and the food I already had was getting cold. When I get there, they arrive ice cold with a receipt for 7 euros that I had to pay extra! Have they gone crazy? Because of their mistake I have to walk back and forth twice, let food I already had get cold and make my guests wait. A sincere apology and a free pack of prawn crackers for the inconvenience would have been better. So today was the last time after more than 30 years and dozens of times eating there with groups and picking up food countless times. It's a shame for this attitude to let a good customer go for 7 euros.

good food. short waiting times (takeaway) good hot.

They take allergies into account and the food is delicious.

This restaurant has done well, both for takeaway and in the restaurant. I'll zoom in on takeout, because that's what we do most often. Order is always correct. Food is delicious and warm/hot. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. Service is friendly and correct.

A surprisingly good Chinese. I did not expect that. As a starter I had the steamed Cantonese dim sum selection which was quite standard (siu mai, har kau etc.), but steamed well. As a main course the Tiapan Babi pangang mix. I actually only saw two types: traditional Babi pangang (which was very good, by the way) and char siew (very good). I thought the ratio of pangang / char siew was very skewed. Lots of pangang, little char siew. Maybe that's because it might have also included roasted bacon? If that was the case, it didn't come out well. Benefit of the doubt. The portions are extremely generous for the price. Service smooth and friendly. Appearance/atmosphere not shocking.

The food was very tasty and well prepared. It's a pity that the waiter comes across as very unfriendly/gruff...that really makes the atmosphere unpleasant! Fortunately the lady was friendlier, which makes up for it a bit.

The location is very good, closed to supermarket within free parking space. Waiters are all very nice and speak Dutch /Chinese well, service is good for each client. The food is fine but more suitable for Dutch people, not classic to Chinese.

Delicious Chinese, our favorite Chinese in Zoetermeer! Prices are also excellent

Just had a bite to eat, it was tasty again

Great restaurant. Delicious food Super hospitable, smooth service and you really feel pampered. Great👍🏻

Cozy restaurant with friendly service

Nice to eat at a Chinese again instead of picking up.

Nice meal! Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The interior is also great! Really back to the 90s! Love it!

Had a good meal here and not too expensive

Delicious food and excellent service!

Delicious dinner again tonight! We always receive friendly service, whether we pick it up or eat in the restaurant. No matter how busy it is, there is always time for a friendly chat.

The food is always excellent, whether you take it away or eat in the restaurant. Service in the restaurant always has time for a chat. In one word SUPER!!!! Happy with these lovely hardworking people.

Go there regularly for a bite to eat. Always good and very friendly staff.

Had a sooooo delicious meal here with my boyfriend last night!!!! Nice wine list and delicious, good and fresh food with a delicious bottle of Chablis... everything was possible, you have a regular customer!!!! SEE YOU SOON!!!

Delicious food 👌👌 really perfect we enjoyed it, friendly, tasty and excellent quality and 🤔 even gluten-free dishes really a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ place to eat 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍with 7 people and for a perfect price 💳 thank you 👊

Takeout was quite generous and tasty. I ordered the rijsttafel and it was plentiful for the following day. I would certainly come for the next times. Rating for service and atmosphere were not mention worthy, since we only sat in the waiting room

Excellent food for a reasonable price, delicious Tipan dishes. Friendly and attentive service, the interior is a bit dated, but we find it cozy and recognizable

Lekker eten. Snel klaar. Altijd vol restaurant.

Echt de beste chinees van Zoetermeer en omstreken! T-pannetje echt een aanrader.

We zijn vaste klant bij Golden Garden. De prijskwaliteit verhouding is erg goed, het eten is lekker en de service is ook goed. Reserveren van te voren is wel handig want het is vaak vol (vooral in het weekend).

Vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Lekker eten

Super goede restauran !!! Herhaling vatbaar!! Dikke 10

Met een grote groep daar gegeten en iedereen was er erg over te spreken. Alles was goed geregeld, we zaten in het achterste deel van het restaurant waardoor we een beetje apart zaten van de andere gasten.

Een Chinees restaurant zoals je een Chinees restaurant verwacht. Vriendelijk en attent personeel, steengoeie pekingeend en uiterst malse ossenhaas.

Altijd heerlijk eten en hele goede bediening

Heerlijk gegeten, gaan er snel weer heen

Het eten is prima alleen jammer van de grote stukken ham in de nasi als je het dunne maakt is het nog lekkerder en in de loempia mag wel iets meer andere groente meer kleuren in het gerecht (het is maar een tip) maar de korst was lekker knapperig en was wel groot top
