Food was not great. Charged $10 to change something out however they didn’t have ribs and switched it to beef with no discount. $56 dinner for 4 changed to $95 with delivery around the block. Who ever answers the phone there must hate their job judging on how rude she was. I’ll be going to the next town or restaurant next time.
The House Special Won Ton soup was absolutely delicious! Chow Sam Sig was also very delicious! Food arrived at hotel still nice and hot.
The food was awful. So greasy and no flavour at all. The place was not vintage it was OLD everything was like it was falling apart. The customer service was the worse our whole experience felt like we are begging them to give us food and to pay. She was not patient and she seemed Annoyed the whole time. Do not go there.
Food was all very good with good size portions except for crisp chicken and general Tao chicken. Both were overcooked and very dry. We ordered the dinner for six which was excellent.
This was just a luck of the draw that we ended up here for dinner. We left our hotel with no place for dinner in mind and chose Golden Flower on the fly...boy were we glad. Granted walking into the restaurant, I was hesitant...the area could use some TLC. But after having our food, I could care less about the atmosphere. The food was amazing, fresh and a lot. The staff were very friendly and the homemade cream pie was delicious. I would recommend Golden Flower to anyone
Visited after checking previous reviews. The food was delicious and had a good price with a good portion, but a served lady was so rude. Totally different attitude she did to another guest. She was talking with another customer for a while. There were no spoons for fried rices and checking for water refill or any other at all. We said, " Food was good," but she didn't reply to any words. I really didn't want to pay tips, but I did. So dissatisfied.
Fabulous food & well priced with big portions :) Staff is super nice as well. The only thing is it's an older building so I'm guessing original entrance & it's difficult to maneuver if on crutches (like moi!) or mobility issues... Fabulous place 👌
Very good food at a fair price. Fast food prices but small restaraunt quality. The portions big enough to fill u up and some left over. The service is very nice. Only 15 to 20 min for hot fresh food. Sure wish could share how good that smells. Huge dish of yummy food under 15 bucks. The price of a burger and fries at fast food joint and get over a pound of greatness. The smell is beyond amazing
Not worth your time and money.
Great fried rice, honey BBQ chicken,and house egg fo young
Food was very bland..No flavour. The only good thing was the egg rolls and battered shrimp. Chicken balls were all batter.
Used to be my favorite Chinese food. New owners new recipes and just like that I dont eat Chinese much any more. Used to order a big order 1-2 times a month.
From Strach Cooking. Great Egg Foo Yung.
Good food, large portions. Great hot and sour soup. Friendly service and good value and great pricing.
First time customer and will never return. First off I m standing and waiting few minutes inside no one around waiting to order , she comes out looks at me and starts helping customers walking in and sitting down. Then proceeds to tell me to come back in 40 minutes no problem. Come back and wait another half hour watching people walk in and order food and get it BEFORE my own. Very disappointed in the lack of respect as a customer
The Golden Flower is a very good restaurant. The food is prepared well. I can sense the experience and pride in many of the dishes I have ordered. Many small towns have Chinese restaurants and one never knows what to expect. Cochrane is lucky to have this one.
This place really needs to tidy up the restaurant area. Excellent food though. Must try..
I can t review the food. We couldn t get past the dated decor. My bench seat was so taped up you couldn t make out the original material. Strange protrusion coming out of the wall also taped over. Some inexpensive refreshing of dining area would be welcome. No one came out to serve us which gave us time to make the decision to leave.
Damn good food! Very fast service
Delicious food
Food is mid, the owner and service are garbage. Very rude and has no patience when ordering. You can go in with a happy mood and exit with a very awful mood. Seems sassy and has no customer service skills. Sorry but it changed to the point where I ll no longer be coming back to eat here. I ve lived here for 30 years and it s quite the place now.
Yummy fresh flavours! Very happy with our choices, including Singapore Noodles, Sweet and Sour Pork (Cantonese) and our favourites: Chicken with Broccoli and Almond Chicken. Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to our large family. Thank you!
Food was ok, i asked spicy and they gave me sweet. Anyway it was good quantity. Thanks Food
I ordered the special which was fish and chips for $13.25. The fish and fries were overcooked terribly but the order came out really quick which leads me to believe it was pre-fried and then refried before plating. No vinegar brought to the table, no tarter sauce, not even a slice of lemon and no coleslaw. Shamefull attempt at something so simple and easy to make. Wasnt even gonna mention the soup of the day but it was freeze dried chicken cubes in salt water with a tablespoon of rice. This restaurant and I use that term loosely is the definition of minimal effort and zero quality.
Best Chinese food in Cochrane
Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly Food was good and decent sized portions. We ate in and i found the place was uncomfortably cold. One of the other customers commented that it was even colder in the washroom
Lovely food well prepared. Thank you
Place is outdated and the food we ordered was gross. Overcooked burger and refried fries and no veggies with our hot hamburger.Good thing i didnt order. Utensils were dirty.
Food was good, but it wasnt a very welcoming atmosphere.
A lot of it is gross, but the rice slaps.
The food is absolutely gross. I decided to eat there because it seemed like the healthiest option nearby, but boy I was wrong. The meat (both chicken and beef) is highly processed, which compromises the quality of the food. The chicken soup was literally 3 poor pieces of chicken, with rice and a dirty broth that looked right out of a washroom. The food was extremely greasy, they sauteed their meat in what tasted (and looked) like poutine gravy. I ate about 1/3 of what I ordered and threw the rest in the trash. I was left with an aftertaste of greasy food cooked in overused cooking oil. I never write negative reviews for restaurants; my first job as a teenager was at my dads restaurant and I understand how hard it is to make a living in this industry, but this restaurant s food was absolutely disgusting. Their service was ok. Friendly staff, no issues there. I ordered takeout. But the food was just atrocious.
food is not that bad but the portions are small for the price
The rice slaps so hard
Yummy food, great service!
To get to this restaurant from Toronto, Drive north on the 400/11 or arrive at the train station in Cochrane north of North Bay. Make sure you pass Iroquois Falls, on the east side of the highway if driving It is in the plaza downtown Cochrane, across from the train station. Food, Chinese and western food. Look, Diner. Ambience, friendly
Very good Chinese food for a place in such a small little town. The owner/cook/waiter was very friendly and curtious. Definitely stop in there again on my way through town.
Yous guys are so bad you owe me stars. I cant believe this place is open. This has to be the worst excuse for chineese food Ive ever eaten . It should have said Purina dog chow on the bag is was so bad Shame on yous for selling that to people. Your food is not for human consumption
Good food, reasonable prices, friendly ppl, decor needs updated.
Great,fast, friendly service. The BBQ fried rice is excellent, the food fresh and you have to try the amazing fried wonton. Were not talking fried wonton wrappers like you get in most places, these are filled wontons, deep fried and perfectly done. Even the meat filling is above par. In a small town in Northern Ontario is were Ive had the best NA Chinese food ever. And that quality has continued through decades and multiple owners. The name may have changed(and thats a story in itself) but the taste and quality has remained constant.
Never would have thought I would have the best Chinese I ve ever had in the Arctic, but I did.
Food is always good!
Love there number 1
They never anncer the phone I called yesterday 38 times amd now today I have called 15 times bc kids want Chinese food
Awesome food and great service and we are only in cochrane till before Christmas, unfortunately, we will definitely miss their food.
Hot and Sour soup was worth the trip to Cochrane !
Lunch was awesome! Best wonton soup I ever had. The kind of place we like. Not fancy, but excellent food.
Since the new owners took over nothing has been the same. The food is meh at best, if you get a shrimp dish, you are lucky to even get 3 pieces of shrimp for the price you pay. The chicken dishes are alright but nothing to write home about. And for being the ONLY Chinese place in town it is quite sad because you expect decent food but what you get is lacking in every department.
Very good food we be back
I enjoy the food so much
The food and the quantities are surprisingly good considering the remoteness of the location, but the service attitude is below all standards. One is left feeling like a nuisance. Very un-Canadian.
This is the best Chinese food in the area.
Food was absolutely best
The prices on the menu posted must be outdated because our $65 order came up to $90 some bucks. Just so you know.
Great portions for a very fair price!
Great staff Its still missing something n it starts with an L??? Guess that..... their food is excellent from my own words I like how they changed their portions . U get a bigger bite on things ..they made a few upgrades ..prices ..t.v..wifi friendly..but word of advice mandarin restaraunt Please give more on the side orders..n platters a lil more additions more gravy fries n cheese is a good example when we ordered take out we ran out of gravy b4 the fries ...its good just to go warm up w some coffee and tea take a lil break very convenient place
Wonderful staff. Warm and friendly. Fair prices and good food.
Been here a few times and its always great. Excellent food, good prices, and friendly service. If youre looking for fresh food in Cochrane youd have a hard time beating the Golden Flower.
Great food and service!!!
Great Chinese food for an awesome price. Love the food and the service is friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend going here!
Hot and Sour soup is amazing!
I was staying in Cochrane for just one night as part of a very long roadtrip and happened to get takeout from here. This is probably the best Chinese food Ive ever had in Ontario.
Good food
Good taste, decent portion at reasonable price. Very fast service!
Food was good but service slow. We got our players at individual times. Take out next time.
Good food! Nice people!
The BEST food Ive ever had while travelling!!! Handmade, fresh food that will delight your tastebuds! You can tell theres no pre-packaged frozen junk...the egg rolls and spring rolls prove it.
It was good service great eat
Small with a weird entrance but the wonton soup never fails to amaze me
A Cozy Place to go on a Date especially for Foodies Healing and Comforting, it hits the spot Scrumptious and tempting :) The Beef & Broccoli and the Chicken Guy Ding Are Fantastic! Come over for food made with love and care The vegetables are freshly prepped and the meat is tender! And you don t have to be a big spender The Golden Flower is a great place to treat your Friends and Family
The best Chinese food I have ever eaten. Every time I come to Cochrane to visit, we have to eat here. The General Tso chicken is to die for.
Closed the only weekend we were in Cochrane
Great food. We always order the dinner for two. Sweet and sour chicken balls, chop suey, chicken fried rice and egg rolls. Plenty of food on the serving plates. Everything was perfect.
Lovely staff
The buffet dinner was great, but if you see a crowd maybe go somewhere else. We waited over 10 minutes while two staff members struggled to correct a single patrons transaction as more people lined up to pay their cheques and more came in behind us - we were finally waved to a table. Had their been signage to seat ourselves we would have. The place was packed so it must be good, but underequipped for a rush, at times they ran out of every item in the buffet, plates, forks, and cups. The sole server was run off her feet covering orders, takeout, bussing, barely making it to drinks. The buffet dessert was lackluster but there was a sign for homemade pies which are very likely amazing.
Great food. Freindly service. Would be nice to see it updated. Very old looking. Affordable. I am a repeat customer.
Rhis is seriously the best chinese food in Ontario. This chef knows how to cook and his General Tao Chicken is to die for... dont let the old run down shop fool you, it is worth eating there
Love the food. Reasonably prices
Reminds me of Toronto Asian cuisine
Ive gone twice and probably wont go, again. Very oily and more celery than any other vegetable combined.
Epic meal. Great pricing
Very good, portion sizes are good, good service and fresh!
Great place to go to
Good food n service
I eat here, when ever im in town.
Great food
Great chinese food. Hot and fresh tasting. Leftovers are just as good days later. No online menu unfortunately, but Ive taken photos of their menu as of May 2017. Prices are standard to those in Toronto, so youre not feeling the Northern Ontario price hike.
Great meal
Best Chinese food in town.
Great Chinese food. Wonderful owners.
Awesome meal love the chinese special...
Great food and pricing reasonable
A small dated yet still inviting little place that has some of the best Chinese food out there. Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly as well....
Awesomeness
Sometimes we had to wait for fresh food budget always fresh
Very good
Great good for the price fast service
Delicious but the restaurant is rather bland and small. Will definitely eat here again when I pass through.
