Golden Fu Wah Restaurant / Fuji Sushi

Tiggamus 6 months ago

Two restaurants in one! Golden Fu Wah Chinese food is some of the best in the Santa Cruz area. Easily in the top 3 overall. Tastes great, good texture, quality ingredients, good portions. Fuji Sushi is definitely my overall top pick in Santa Cruz county for sushi and Japanese food. The fish quality is way above most places around here and one of the most diverse menus. The miso soup is the best i've ever had. The staff are also great and helpful! The only point i knock off is because sometimes the inside of the restaurant has a weird smell that isn't from the food.

Golden Fu has officially become one of my top favorite spots for Chinese food. It’s a Chinese and Japanese style restaurant, and depending on what you’re in the mood for, they’ll prepare it accordingly. Just let them know what you're ordering and they’ll take care of it. The interior is really nice, clean, inviting, and spacious. They have a full sushi bar and a mix of both Chinese and Japanese style seating, which adds a cool vibe to the place. We went with the Chinese side of the menu and ordered chicken chow mein, pork fried rice, orange chicken, and sweet and sour pork. The food did not disappoint. The orange chicken and sweet and sour pork were super fresh and had that perfect crispy texture on the outside, with none of that chewy or soggy bite you sometimes get elsewhere. The sauces were flavorful without being overly sweet or heavy. The chicken chow mein was loaded with tender chicken, crunchy veggies, and perfectly cooked noodles that weren’t greasy at all. The flavor was balanced and savory, not too salty or bland. The pork fried rice was probably one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The rice was fluffy and full of flavor, with just the right amount of pork and egg

Found a hidden Gem! Many good reasons to dine-in or take-out at Golden Fu Wah: 1. You are greeted with a warm welcome. 2. Excellent service. They cater to your needs, make recommendations and check if everything is okay multiple times, and box left-overs. 3. This place serves many vegetarian dishes as part of their standard menu. 4. Quiet place with soothing music. 5. Serving portions are decent, keep that in mind before ordering. Don't let the facade drive you away!

Came here for a late dinner. I was glad they were open. The food was pretty good and the dining was homey. Started with wonton soup which was simple and the wontons were made in house and not frozen. The large plates were as their name a great portion. They came with steamed broccoli which was cooked a little under which I appreciated. The ginger beef had fresh ginger and a good amount of it. We definitely had a lot of leftovers.

Golden Fu Wah is consistently the best Chinese and Chinese-American in the county. I have never been disappointed by my experience here, and I am often impressed by the quality of the ingredients used to prepare dishes. On our most recent visit, we ordered orange chicken with broccoli, vegetable chow nein, and hot & sour soup. The chicken was tender and moist with sauce that was flavorful but not overly sweet. I could tell that real orange peel / zest had been used to flavor the sauce, not just sugar like budget places. The soup was perfect. Just the right consistency, not too watery or too thick. The spice hits on the first spoonful, and it stays with you without detracting from the flavor of the dish. I highly recommend Golden Fu Wah for a big lunch or a ... well, a big dinner, too. The portions are generous, and even though I'm a big eater, I always have leftovers. Be sure to ask for Sing if you call to place an order. She is super friendly, attentive, and always eager to make sure that customers feel welcome.
