Good World

I've been eating at Good World since they first opened in the old First Interstate Bank on Sandy Blvd between 106 and 107th next to Parkrose Hardware. I like the full menu and that you can tell them how you like your food prepared, so you can get it as spicy or mild as you desire on all the dishes. All the food here except a couple fish dishes are scratch made to order and look snd taste very good MOST of the time The ambiance is like most quick turnover no frills dining experiences. The size of the portions is still reasonable, and the food quality is still very good. It used to be great, authentic Chinese food. But with changes in cooks the food quality and portion sizes have both diminished a bit over time. The service is passable; they could stand improvement with attentiveness and fixing mistakes when an order comes out wrong, which isn't often; but when it is, they don't hustle and strive to make it right. I like to start with egg flower soup or hot and sour soup, both are good choices here. I also like their spring rolls and the variety of sauces they have for dipping. This is not known as a Dim Sum restaurant, buy there is authentic dim sum service with a good selection of items, but higher than average prices at Good World. My favorite dishes at Good World are Mongolian Beef and Broccoli with Beef, both are excellent. The sweet and sour chicken or pork are also usually very good. Cashew Chicken is good but nothing special. General Tsao's Chicken is very good, perfectly spiced. They have a full bar but don't expect to get anything exotic or that requires a good mixologist. They do have Oregon Lottery in the bar if you are into slots while you waut or after dinner. There is a good full size pool table if you enjoy billiards. The bartender doubles as wait staff in the restaurant so you may have to wait fir service. Prices are competitive with other Chinese restaurants in the area e.g., the Ambassador. There is ample parking for dinner, but not always at lunch in the parking lot that is shared with several other businesses. Lunch prices and portions are reasonably adjusted downward and ate a good value. If you want a good, filling, tasty (and without MSG) Chinese meal that's scratch made from quality local sourced ingredients at a fair price check out Good World, you will be glad you did.

The food is absolutely average. You won't write home about but you wouldn't push it away either. Service was extremely faster, attentive and friendly. I ordering Kong Pow Chicken & Shrimp -- extra hot, it had a nice low sustained heat in the mouth but if you like hot food you might need to ask them for extra extra hot.

Came here for lunch before heading back to Seattle. The food was not very authentic but more tailored to the locals. The dim sum menu looked tempting maybe I should have gone for that instead of General Tao’s chicken. I also ordered wanton soup but that was a big disappointment as the soup was clear as water and very salty! The service was great and the place overall was nice and clean. There were plenty of seats and the service was relatively quick. Overall I think this place is not for you if you are looking for more authentic Chinese food. However, it beats Panda Express by a mile.

The food was super good! We ordered crab puffs and pot stickers as appetizers. I enjoyed them a lot. The restaurant is really quiet and peaceful. They didn't have a lot going on when we came in. I had a number 4 combination plate to try more food. Everything was delicious. I enjoyed the egg flower soup as well!
