We have been going to this restaurant for 34 years and it never changes! The decor remains the same and while it looks a bit tired the food is still fantastic. We always have the satay sticks and they are the best ever. Their Nasi Goreng is excellent too. This trip we also tried the Chilli Prawns and loved this... More

Satay satay satay enough said Nothing more to add best in town

My daughter and I went to "A Chorus Line" and wanted a simple Chinese meal. We ended up in this place. Chicken and corn soup served in a teacup sized portion ($5). Bean curd hot pot-did they bring an entree by mistake? ($19)Was it heated in the microwave, it was dangerously hot. Fried Rice, served on an entree plate ($12!).... More

The restaurant is nothing fancy, try to get... More

The grand old Lady.."Aunty Feh" was not in attendance but her son/younger brother was at the front desk... More

I have been to the Golden Orchid many times over the years with all sorts of people and we all love it. - Delicious, friendly, quick, plenty of choice, good portion sizes and a BYO in the middle of the CBD!! We go for the Malaysian rather than the Chinese dishes and have never had a bad one! Staff don't... More

This would have to be the most un -Malaysian, Malaysian restaurant I've ever been too. The fact that I needed to add Chilli to the so-called sambal to give the dish any heat is testament to how poor this place is. The satay sticks were ok; well with the exception of the satay sauce...I would be surprised if there was... More

best satays in town.....!!
