Golden Bowl Restaurant — Restaurant in California

Don't know about the food, haven't tried it yet. The menu prices are not accurate, everything is $2-3 higher than listed. All receipts are tallied on a calculator, with no detail as to what was ordered, how much or even taxes. Got kind of pissy when I asked for a breakdown.

$35 for two item order with steamed rice...for only one person.

Ok, got home and unpacked the food and I am changing my review to 4 stars. First, Golden Bowl gives you a LOT of food. Enough to feed at least four adults. And it's very fresh; excellent!!! It's obvious the portions are for family-style serving. That said, I would suggest offering half orders, the criticism that they don't offer portions for single or even couples is justified. I would gladly pay $20 for half the food I just paid $35 for.

Still need to update the inaccurate menus and buy a cash register to detail the purchase. It just seems unethical. It might work in Asia, but not here. And don't get offended if someone questions the bill when your menu has the wrong prices and you provide no detail...

So I went when they just opened thinking that food would be FRESH, well I thought WRONG. i got garlic chicken(sauce on side) and I was chicken from day before ( so dry and hard OMG) I ended up drowning it in the sauce(thinking it would make it somewhat soggy so I could eat it) thought WRONG again I took bite and tried to swallowed it just wouldn't go down. Long story short I thought that was my LAST day on earth, considering my good friend, my sister(thank GOD for her) had to give me the HYMALAC MANUVER OMG THAT WAS BY FAR THE SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!!!!(which if it weren't for her it would have ended, my life that is) by no fault of my own, NOPE!! by fault of SOME DRY, OVER COOKED, DAY OLD CHICKEN FROM YOU GUESSED IT" GOLDEN BOWL"this is by FAR THE WORST CHINESE FOOD. ...

I read the reviews on Google and thought that since it had good reviews I would try out the place with my husband....The chicken chow mein was really sweet and the chicken had a smell to it and was really dry, the chicken fried rice had no salt the taste was very bland didn't have any flavor to it, the mongolian chicken we asked for it to be extra spicy and instead of being spicy it was really sweet and too much sauce and the chicken had a weird smell to it, only good food there was the fried chicken but that also was not served with any type of sauce they just gave us the chicken without sauce so it was a little dry so we asked for some chilli paste I would definitely not be going back to this place...we ended up not taking the left over and also it is...
