Golden Bowl Restaurant

I know some people may disagree but, I have had extremely positive experiences and I do empathize experiences with Golden Bowl for years now. I really like the food. The service as long as you don’t come too close to closing time is pretty respectable. The portions are pretty good and the prices are very reasonable. In my opinion, it’s an excellent experience. Please remember, it’s a take out joint not a restaurant. But, generally speaking, I don’t think you will be disappointed and the food really is good normally. They are consistently busy too and they’ve been open for years which, is always a good sign.

This place has been inconsistent for years, but it's never been quite so bad as it is now. It all depends on the particular cooks they have in the back - the difference quite literally between a surprisingly four star meal and inedible slop. There is also a glaring discrepancy with their hours, which causes drama when you go to pick up late. If you google the restaurant, the place is open until 10:30. But if you arrive later than 10:15, they look at you like they want to murder you. Apparently, though there isn't another business like it in town, and they don't tell you this anywhere but in person, this place closes fifteen minutes early, and if you don't heed this, you are the devil. I don't know what happens after 10:15, perhaps the staff turn into werewolves and terrorize the night. Tonight was the last time I'll give them money. The food wasn't bad, but the attitude was almost threatening. I've been a customer for years, filled their register with cash, and the thanks I get is to be yelled at over a few minutes "lateness". They turned the lights out on me as I walked out of the restaurant. The angry, bald owner glared at me, then cleared his throat as I passed him, as though to spit upon me - all over an order of chicken wings and fried rice. From the looks of the other reviews I've seen recently, I'm not the only one. We're going into the summer; this is the lean time without all the college kids ordering online, keeping them afloat. Hopefully they will finally give up, sell, and move out of town. Few will miss them.

Ordered large Mapo tofu and got this. Definitely not mapo tofu and not a quart. Ate it anyway, taste was just bland and not my favorite spicy sichuan pepper dish. I dont appreciate paying $9 for a more expensive tofu dish and getting this, when there are better things on the menu for cheaper. Oh well, their other food is pretty decent though they can be rude as other people say.

Usually the general tso chicken and boneless spare ribs are delicious. But my recent order was so nasty that I had to throw the food in the trash. I am very disappointed. A waste of money.

Bad customer service. I placed an order and it was completely wrong. I called the restaurant to tell them about the order and the woman on the phone started screaming on the phone saying I was wrong for a while. She wouldn’t listen and hung up the phone. I know what I order, we order the same thing every week. My colleague called back to speak to someone in charge and she said no one was there and hung up again. Very unprofessional and rude.
