From the menu Golden Chopsticks looks like your average generic Westernized Chinese restaurants, but that doesn't mean it's bad. In general, the food is very well executed, and if you go for lunch, there are some fantastic deals to be had.
My favorite dish here is the Spicy Salt Chicken Wings, which seems to be very popular with the Filipino community in National City. At lunch, it's only $5.25, and the portions are very generous. That doesn't stop me from cleaning the plate though. The wings are crispy, juicy, salty, and delicious.
I've tried lots of other dishes here, and they are good, though not as interesting to me. Still there's much to be said, for just making rice properly, not overcooking the meat and veggies, and salting properly. The sauces on the stir-fried items are just the right consistency, not gloopy and not too thin.
It's good basic American-Chinese food for an excellent price. And that's actually somewhat difficult to find in San Diego.
