    Golden Temple gives off some Indiana Jones vibes, while delivering the best Chinese with fresh ingredients. I recommend the beef and oyster sauce paired with their signature Mai Tai.

    Don't be fooled by its traditional Chinese restaurant vibe. This place turns UP post 10 PM - DJ, dance floor and you can order Chinese food till 2 AM. Come here for the dancing, not for the crowd.

    The szechuan eggplant w/ pork is definitely the best eggplant dish I've had -- and possibly the best thing I've ever ordered at a chinese restaurant. (It goes well w the GT Mai Tai too!)

    Go with your girlfriends on a Friday or Saturday night and dance to top forty in what feels like the inside of a whale in Japan.

    If you're ordering NYE takeout, call a day early .... The night if will have you waiting past your projected time (45 minutes beyond 2 hours is a bit much)....

    Golden Temple's Espresso Martini (sans Bailey's) is the best espresso martini that has ever entered my mouth.

    It's hard to "like" something that made you feel sick all day the next day. Golden Temple Mai Tai - FML! I'll be back when I can stomach mere fruit juice again. Read more

    Fried rice tasted burnt. Not the best tasting noodles as well. Appetizers ( spring rolls) were only worth eating.

    Order the Golden Temple Mai Tai. Not the regular Mai Tai, but "Golden Temple Mai Tai." Do not drink more than one or you will find yourself plastered.
