I've been coming to Golden Bowl for over 25 years, and it has never disappointed. Their chicken teriyaki bowl is hands down one of the best around--perfectly cooked chicken, great flavor, and always consistent. It's one of those meals you keep coming back for because you know exactly what you're going to get every time, and it always hits the spot. Beyond the food, there's something special about a place that's been this reliable for decades. Same great taste, same satisfying portions, and just an all-around solid go-to spot. If you're in the area and haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out! read more

Golden Bowl - bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Covina, California

Golden Boy and Golden Bowl in Covina is one of those places that never lets you down. I always order the chicken or beef teriyaki bowl, and it seriously never disappoints. It's consistent in the best way possible. Every single time, the portion, flavor, and overall quality are exactly what I expect. There's something comforting about knowing your food is going to taste the same every visit, especially when it hits the spot like this does. I usually go through the drive through, which is fast and efficient, making it perfect when you just want a solid meal without the wait. This place is such a staple in Covina, and I honestly love that it hasn't changed. My brother introduced it to me a couple of years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. It's simple, delicious, dependable, and exactly what I'm craving when I want a teriyaki bowl done right. read more

Originally I was going to ANB Teriyaki but I decided to try something new. Golden Bowl is good. It's also called Golden Burger because other signs say so. Would come back for the food. Prices and portions are fair. read more

I understand that this spot is a local institution with a ton of weekly car traffic, and I know that good teriyaki is supposed to be grilled and charred. The combination of sweet teriyaki sauce, grilled meat, and white rice is absolutely delicious when done right. On taste alone, this place is great, and the unique char flavor is something you rarely find anymore. However, I noticed an excessive amount of burnt pieces in my food. I had to set aside about thirty to forty percent of the beef because it was burnt. The chicken was good but also suffered from a lot of burnt pieces. I am not sure if the grill just is not cleaned properly between orders, but the amount of burnt meat was concerning. As a side note, the drive through has a unique setup where you pay through the passenger window. While I can see exactly why this place is a beloved local favorite, I do not think I will be back simply because of the alarming amount of burnt meat. read more

I wanted to share some feedback as a regular customer. Every time I order a chicken bowl, I'm only given one small packet of yellow peppers. When I ask for one or two extra, I often get the impression that the employee is irritated by the request. Honestly, as much as I enjoy the food, this is one of the reasons I avoid places like King Taco. It feels like restaurants are becoming overly strict or greedy when it comes to condiments. I'm not asking for a handful of peppers or a dozen sauce packets--I'm simply asking for one or two extra to enjoy the meal I've already paid for. Good customer service goes a long way, and something as small as making a customer feel uncomfortable for asking for an extra condiment can affect whether they choose to come back. I enjoy your food and would hate for this to become another place I avoid because of an issue that should be simple to resolve. 1 packet for a bowl?!?! Thank you for your time. read more

We made it just a half an hour before they closed for the night. I've heard many good things about this place so I was eager to try their teriyaki chicken bowl. We placed the chicken bowl and a combo beef and chicken bowl which comes in a bigger container. Both the beef and chicken were good but I always prefer the traditional chicken and it was delicious. read more

Delicious food and great customer service! Also curry is soooooo yummy I do recommend trying out the curry if you are looking for some of the best in town read more

Customer service is horrible...why tf everyone got an attitude I'm about so pissed...it's not even 1:00 and they have attitude already

Very friendly at drive thru. When that happens, it usually tells you the food is also going to be good. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years.... I usually get a medium chicken and veggie bowl and split it up into 2 servings. It is so much food!!! The staff is always very nice. Don't let the long line scare you.... It's worth the wait! read more

The food is good. I love their chicken bowl with avocado. I order ahead to skip the line. It's worth the try.

OG fave store for years but inflation and shrinkflation finally got Golden Bowl. Ordered two chicken burgers combo for $29! Combo suppose to be $12.22 or $24.44+tax=$27. Got gypped $2. But that's not the issue. The issue are the patties. The chicken patties are small and thin. They used to be luscious and thicc. Still delicious but not for $29. read more

If I could give Golden Bowl 10 stars I would. I literally crave their Beef Bowls every other week. If I am feeling a simple teriyaki chicken and white rice bowl, I would only want it to be specifically from this restaurant. They are frequently poppin and the service is still fast. Nice, classic, small, but homey ambiance. If you had a bad experience before, it might've just been a bad day for you, but I can always count on a Golden Bowl to cheer me up! read more

This little hole-in-the-wall spot serves up some seriously flavorful teriyaki bowls, plates, and even burritos! The food is well-marinated, packed with flavor, and comes in generous portions for a great value. The steamed rice was cooked perfectly, and honestly, the extra teriyaki sauce wasn't even needed--especially since it had a thick, congealed consistency that wasn't very appealing. While the food was excellent, the dining area could use some serious attention. The floors were sticky, and the overall maintenance and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Large storage boxes in the dining space made it feel more like a warehouse than a restaurant. That said, most people seem to opt for the drive-thru, which is probably the best choice. Despite the interior issues, the service was excellent, and the food was definitely worth it. If you're looking for a great teriyaki meal at a solid price, this is a great option--just maybe take it to go! read more

This place was highly recommended by a few friends but honestly its a hit or miss. Out of the 5 times Ive gone, twice the chicken was tasty and embraced the grilled and savory taste. The other 3 times I wasnt impressed. Service was great, I cant complain on the service but the food is not consistent. They have a sitting area but I generally always take to go. read more

First the service was EXCEPTIONAL. She was kind, quick and fun...the problem was with the food :(. I've ordered here before and NEVER got sick! The chicken was as if it was old. It tasted....gamey...fake..rubbery. I washed the sauce off and it started to peel off! Sadly...I'm not going back again:( read more

Stopped in while in the area for a funeral and tried a new item! The dine-in area is closed right now but I ordered the pork to go and it was so tender and flavorful! I honestly think it's my new favorite at Golden Bowl :) Also, don't forget to order their ranch (made in-house)... it was so refreshing on my side salad in the 95 degree weather. The staff were all so friendly and very efficient. We will definitely be stopping by again when in the area! read more

My husband did drive thru one night while we were in the area. We both ordered a large 2 item teriyaki bowl which included chicken and beef teriyaki on white rice. We added avocado for extra. The portion was a lot and could easily be made into two or three meals. We appreciated how much avocado they give too. Tastewise, I didn't like the teriyaki sauce. It had more of a barbeque smokey flavor to it and I like more of a traditional teriyaki sauce that is on the sweeter side. The meat was decently tender and I prefer the chicken over the beef since the beef was a little too salty to me. Service was quick and friendly. There is parking available. I'm not sure what the inside looked like but it's nice they have a drive thru. However, the drive thru is more convenient if you have a passenger with you since you pull up to the window with it being on your passenger side. read more

Golden Bowl - Large 2 Item Teriyaki Combo Bowl - beef and chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Covina, California

Good teriyaki. We've had both the beef and chicken along with the shrimp and everything was great. I usually ask for brown rice and they cook it well. Sometimes it can be too chewy but Golden Bowl has found the right texture. The service is quick and they are precise. I have some picky eaters and our orders always come out correctly. read more

Golden Bowl - Menu as of 01/15/26 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Covina, California

Any plate with chicken there tastes good and cooked right. But any plate with beef tastes good but it's over cooked and chewy. They need to get a different cut of beef or figure out a way to stop over cooking the beef. read more

Golden Bowl is my go-to place for bowls. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I normally get a chicken veggie bowl with no teriyaki sauce and add avocado and jalapenos. The bowl is very filling. I can usually get two meals out of one bowl. The drive-thru here is usually busy around lunchtime. I like to place a pick-up order to avoid the wait during lunch time rush. The inside of the restaurant is really spacious, even during the lunch rush, you'll always find a place to enjoy your meal. read more

Pretty good burger and teriyaki place. The sauce is a bit salty for my taste and you kind of get tired of eating it without veggies. The burger was pretty good and juicy. We got a lot of fries for a medium order. Good burger and teriyaki place for me to go to now! read more

A restaurant is just as good as the cleanliness in the dining area. I ordered the large chicken, delicious! They give this teriyaki sauce on the side. The sauce is gelatinous, not watery when you pour it out of the little cup. Maybe the sauce is cold? If you look up on the lighting fixture, there are dust on the fixture. I paid almost $15.00 for a large chicken & a small drink. First time here & it will probably be my last well at least for awhile. Zoom in on my pictures to see the dust in the lighting fixture. read more

Great food and we've been there often. I usually go for the chicken bowls but decided to try their teriyaki beef burrito. Lots of meat, juicy, and flavorful. I took a star off because many, many times their inside dining area is very dirty and unkept. Trash is overflowing, looks unswept, etc. read more

Worth the 30 minute drive, hands-down, the best teriyaki bowls in the area. If you've never had a teriyaki burger, this is the place to have it at. read more

I gotta say the teriyaki beef and chicken is bomb but don't ask for any thing else I always ask for extra greens and rice and teriyaki sauce willing to pay but never he it that's what I don't frequent this place there not friendly but they cook well they also charge for all extra sauces any how just fyi to all .. there are better yaki places around the corner the spot for one on Azusa read more

Comida buena pero el restaurante esta extremadamente sucio, el piso las mesas las paredes. Lleno de telaraña, también las ventanas sucias

Fast and super bomb. Located on the corner of 2nd and Rowland. Small parking lot. Drive thru lane is 99% almost full. Call in order available. Walked in today and was out in 5minutes. Large spacious dining area AC on so that's a plus. Busy from 11-2p daily. The food taste great. Charbroiled flavor and large portions. One large bowl is two meals for me. Burgers are super bomb also. I never get the combo because 1 burger is enough it's a must try if you are in Covina. read more

Disgusting attitude and service from the drive thru worker Clarissa. She dropped my card in the drive thru line, constantly made belittling back handed remarks while I was ordering and then when giving me my food. She couldn't fit in the drive thru window so maybe she'll be better in the back. She obviously is miserable at her job and takes it out on the costumers. read more

Anyone who grew up near Covina knows Golden Bowl - great food, big portions, easy on the wallet. I usually get the charbroiled pork bowl with fries and a bottle of sangria - never disappoints. Don't forget to add sriracha, ranch for your fries, and the little yellow chiles (I can't handle the deep fried jalapeños). This local mom & pop shop has been in the community for decades, and it's a solid spot for a meal everytime I go. read more
