Golden Capital

We ordered Chinese food from Golden Capital recently.
We had the «Dinner for 5» which was $ 58 for 10 egg rolls, Special Fried Rice, Garlic Spare Ribs, Imperial Beef, Sweet and Sour Shrimps, Mushrooms Guy Pen, Special Shanghai Noodles, Home Style Bean Curd and 5 fortune cookies. But get this, since the order was over $ 31 we got some freebies: 3 egg rolls and a Chicken Fried Rice! At most places when you order the «Family Dinner Combos» you can’t get their freebies, the freebies are only if you order à la carte, but at Golden Capital you get the freebies regardless of what you order as long as it’s over $ 31. Woo hoo!
The portions are big and the food was very good.
The egg rolls are the closed-​ended type. They are filled with ground pork and cabbage. There’s lots of meat, it’s not mostly cabbage like at some places. Good flavour.
The Special Fried Rice was full of small shrimp, BBQ pork and chicken. Lots of soy sauce though, the rice was very dark. No vegetables. The free Chicken Fried Rice was similar just without the shrimp and BBQ pork.
The Garlic Spare Ribs were sweet and sticky. Nicely done.
The Imperial Beef was spicy. You could see the flecks of chili peppers. The beef is not battered nor deep fried. The beef is tender and plentiful. Vegetables included broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery and onion.
The Sweet and Sour Shrimps were basically like Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls but shrimp instead of chicken. The breading was a little too heavy for my liking, but this is typical of this type of dish. Probably my least favourite of all the things ordered.
The Special Shanghai Noodles had medium sized shrimp, chicken and BBQ pork stir-​fried with cabbage, onions and udon noodles. There was a lot of soy sauce in this dish as there was in the fried rice.
I thought that Mushrooms Guy Pen would be a vegetarian dish, but was pleasantly surprised to find large pieces of chicken in it. There are white mushrooms in this dish, along with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery and onions. The flavour is mild and everything is stir-​fried in a light coloured gravy-​like sauce.
I thought that the Special Bean Curd dish would be a vegetarian dish as well, again I was wrong, there were pieces of pork in it. The tofu in this dish was deep fried. It tasted like the pork was battered somewhat. The vegetables were broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery and onion. The taste was similar to the Mushrooms Guy Pen but the sauce was more opaque.
So vegetarians and vegans beware, dishes that sound like they would be vegetarian contain meat!
Overall I thought the food was very good. Yes, the vegetables are pretty much the same in many dishes and some sauces taste very similar. And it’s North American Chinese Food. However, for the price I think it’s a great deal since you get a lot of food, and the taste is good.
It took about 45 minutes from the time I ordered to the time it arrived, which I think is reasonable. The delivery man was very nice.
You also get a «coupon» every time you order over $ 23 worth of food (1 coupon per order, so I only got 1 coupon even though I ordered $ 58 worth of food). Once you collect 10 «coupons» you can claim a free «Dinner for 2» but you have to pick up your free dinner yourself (no delivery).
Just so you know, the prices on the website are out-​of-​date. The new prices are a little bit higher (although not much, like just $ 0.20 difference for the fried rices, the biggest price hike is $ 3 for the Dinners for 5 and 6).
I would order from here again.
