Golden Bowl Restaurant — Restaurant in Elyria

edit- its been a few years since i left my review so its time to update. this place used to be pretty good but the guy who runs it got rid of all his workers, did solo duty for a while, replaced them w another crew (who were really good), got rid of them and went solo for a while again, replaced with another crew (who were terrible) and has now gotten rid of them too and is back at it solo. with the exception of the 2nd crew this place is at an absolute standstill. ordered a small meal for one? expect to wait an hour for pickup. the guy will insist this is a one time only delay but its absolutely every time.

building will be packed with doordashers waiting on orders too so when you get there at the time he told you to pick up your order there will be cars lined up in front of the building's sidewalk and youll be waiting another 40 mins standing against the wall with a group of pissed off dudes. why would anyone want to go there? i never will again

old- Building was new and clean. Staff was friendly. Price is decent. Ordered takeout and it was good but i went to buffet and it was not good at all. Old, barely warm and dry food. The buffet had a decent number of options but there was little food actually in the trays. This was around 1:30 so not at the end of the time the buffet is served but even if it was,...

I put in an order for my elderly aunt and her guest for delivery. I live about a half an hour away so couldn't pick it up myself. After I gave him the two orders, he said they wouldn't deliver it because there's a $15 minimum for delivery. I asked him to add $3 to the order to make it $15. I explained my aunt and her elderly friend cannot eat very much food, so they're going to have to throw it out. He refused and told me I had to order something. I asked him to pick something out as I don't have the menu in front of me. He refused and told me he doesn't know what I want. He began to rattle off a bunch of options which I couldn't understand because of his accent, so I picked the last option he said. I have no idea what it is. Then he charged me a delivery fee on top of it, so the order was $20. I don't mind spending $20 on lunch for my aunt, but I don't understand why he was inflexible and uncooperative. The reason we cannot have all that food in my aunt's refrigerator is because her Great Depression era instincts are to not throw it away, but because she can no longer smell, she sometimes eats spoiled food. I gave them three stars because I'm assuming the food...

I was there yesterday Saturday with my 2 daughters. We wanted to go after we saw the reviews here in google. I had to say all was truth.We got there a nice lady greet us with a smile.she ask us to get a pop that we wanted.We where impressed how clean the place was. Food was excellent .My favorite the crab ragoon and sweet and sour chicken.Although everything was excellent.The atmosphere was nice too.They kept refilling with fresh food which was good.We did not feel rush like other buffets in other city near by.I saw people coming to buy food from buffet to take home too. I think is awesome for people that want to have the variety of a buffet and do not gave time to stay.I was impressed to see also the bathroom was super clean just like the restaurant. This place and people there deserve the 5 stars. Now I understand why people go there from other towns .We will go back to visit again.I also may order take out from them too.In conclusion I will advise to go there and try it.You...
