New Golden Soup Restaurant — Restaurant in San Gabriel

OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Attended a banquet here recently and the food was ok. I wouldn't come back, as I have had better food at other restaurants (for banquet style).

AMBIANCE: Casual. Noise level is average. At the time, there were two separate parties going. They used room divider panels (so noise level can still be heard and you can see through the panels).

FOOD: Banquet style (8 course meal): House Special Pork Fried Prawn with Honey Walnuts Diced Beef Filet with House Special Sauce House Special Roasted Chicken Fish Maw Soup Steamed Fish Baked Lobster with Green Onions and Ginger Dessert was red bean

SERVICE: Service was good.

PRICE: not sure, as I was a guest

PARKING: Private plaza with plenty of parking, both covered (underground) and uncovered.

LOCATION: Located toward the back of the plaza on the second level. They have an escalator, elevator, and stairs.

Food: 3/5 stars Service: 4/5...

Run of the mill types of Chinese food. Cheap and uninspired dishes. Each dish is around $9 for lunch. The portions are ok and they are very popular with big group dining.

Although the restaurant has a large dining area, it doesn’t serve dim sum. So on the weekends, most people come for lunch special.

Since we have not been here for a long time, we thought we would give it try again today. But it turned out it was not a good lunch meal.

We ordered 3 dishes for two of us. The sweet and sour fish was a bit fishy. We had a very bad fishy after taste in our mouths. The clam with ginger and pepper was the best among the three with decent taste but no wok Hei though.

Finally, the vegetables and Chinese sausage dish was way too salty. We ended up not able to eat much of it.

I guess, the food have not changed much here. I don’t think we will be coming back...

Visited recently as my family have been patrons for awhile. The restaurant is now called New Golden Soup Restaurant ('New' added to its name) which leads me to believe an ownership change. Upon stepping inside, the dining area did seem refreshed with new seat covers and bright lighting and many new staff but the menu looks similar. Their daily lunch special is still available at $11.95 and thru 6 pm. As for the food, I would rate it as decent for the quantity but the flavor I felt could...
