Most don't have a bar and feature decent quality takeout. Only a few "lounges" still exist. Golden Garden features a low end "sports bar" lounge with outdated TV's and 50 something locals as regulars. That said, they still feature a couple friendly bartenders that know traditional drink recipes and still serve them in Tiki Mugs. Tonite - I took out the "Golden Garden Appetizer Platter" a Pu-Pu platter with fantastic Pork eggrolls, Crab Rangoon, Boneless spareribs, Chicken wings, Boneless chicken fingers and Steak Teriyaki sticks! It serves two for 12.95. I had a Mai Tai, served in a usual clear Hi-ball glass with lime and cherry (no Mint) - It was a little sweet. I then had a Zombie as I waited for my to - go order. It was served in a delightful headhunter tiki mug which made me happy - scorpion bowls for one or full size are available as are coconut mugs and pineapple mugs. This place is no tiki bar - but when you crave a "Tiki" drink and a loyal Polynesian app or meal, - it's a satisfying and traditional Polynesian/asian "joint" in a true Northeast United States style. I just moved back from 15 years living in southern California -and Polynesian/asian food differs incredibly from the southwest to the northeast. I am partial to the NE polynesian style. Golden Garden Tokyo is no Kowloon, or Kahiki but it fills you up with decent food and drinks in retro style recipes and presentation! I like it there, I have a couple drinks while I wait, but I take the food to go!
