    Medium teriyaki bowl
    David T.

    We have been searching for a flame broiler drive thru near us. We decided to try Golden Bowl based on reviews. I ordered the medium beef teriyaki bowl and my wife ordered the medium beef teriyaki bowl with sliced avocado. We were both disappointed in the meal. The one good thing is they have a drive thru window. Service was good, but the food missed the mark.

    Old avocado

    I have ate a golden bowl for years in the valley, but recently moved back down to Los Angeles and ordered Uber eats and was deeply disappointed by what I received. I didn't care about paying the extra three dollars for avocado, but to pay that and received the kind I did was disheartening and upsetting. As well the top layer of chicken was great but underneath all of these extra charred pieces. I was tired from work and haven't went grocery shopping so I placed an order at one of my favorite places, but definitely will not be ordering again. Restaurants do whatever they want to when you order food because once you see it, you're stuck with it.

    Found thick hair in bowl. Pretty disappointing.

    Golden Bowl is always a good spot. I love getting their teriyaki beef/chicken plate, it's always tasty and fresh. The portions are perfect. The food comes out fast, and the service is always friendly. Definitely my go to place.

    Teriyaki Chicken Salad

    Teriyaki Chicken Salad is so good! Soooo much lettuce, cucumber, toma, huge amount of yummy Teriyaki Chicken. Also love the Chicken and Beef Teriyaki plates. Service is always friendly and fast! Have only gotten to go thru drive thru.

    Half & Half Bowl

    Picture doesn't do it justice! I dug in before taking the photo (sorry!) the protein was soft and melted in my mouth. Whatever sauce they use is sweet and delicious !!! Portion size is great and the meal can be for 2 separate seatings in my opinion! I love the protein to rice proportion! It was 2:1 double on the meat which was great for the price. The joint has been here for awhile and they never disappoint. Great spot for a quick meal!

    We just bought 2 plates, one with teriyaki chicken and the other one with beef... and while I was eating my food, I bite into something supper hard, and i have to spit it out and there was a tiny stone. which now i have pain on my molar... my husband talk to the place, and they questioned that it was very rare, and yes it is rare but it really happened. Now I have to go to the dentist and see if I cracked my molar.

    Looks like last time I came here was 2 years ago. I ordered the same thing - Large beef bowl with avocado. They have been consistent with the food. They serve the same amount of rice, beef, and avocado in the foam container for over ten years that I know of. Highly recommend eating here and always opt for the large since small and medium almost looks identical in size. Looks like they raised the prices quite a bit from 2 years ago. The large beef bowl is almost $3 more today than 2 years ago. The burger prices are up $0.50 to about a dollar more. This place is good and I will come by more often when I'm in the area.

    I used to come here once a week when I went to Elco. More recently, I started to come back once in a while when I am craving teriyaki. I either get the chicken/beef combo plate or the beef teriyaki and fried shrimp. Both are delicious and it's more or less whatever you are craving that day. The plate comes with a little side salad that is always fresh and delicious. Each bowl or plate also comes with teriyaki sauce and Sriracha on the side. I also like to add not he grilled jalapeños on the side as they season them in like a lemon pepper seasoning. Also, adding on avocado makes the whole meal that much better. This is a no frills, straightforward teriyaki place but I feel they do it well and the portions are good.

    This is not a large. This is like a medium in a large container.

    The portion was small compared to all the other times we've gone. I ordered a large bowl to share with my kids. This is technically a medium size. I guess this is the last we're going to this golden bowl.

    Everything you want from yakitori. Would especially recommend every option with chicken skin on it,…read moreincluding the pure chicken skin skewer. Crunchy, chewy, salty, deeply chicken-y. The meatball is tender and flavorful, full of ginger and green onion. The custard was perfect for anyone who enjoys a rich dessert. The caramel was perfectly dark to balance out the overall sweetness. Staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy. It is very popular, so expect it to be pretty packed. Would recommend a reservation, but there is a waitlist if you have a little patience.

The first thing I tried was the Sizzling Mushroom Gravy over Crispy Rice; The dish was to die for and my personal favorite thing I tried. I don't even know how to describe how flavorful and well put together the gravy was with mushroom pieces that were perfectly soft and easy to eat. Next was the salad which was so fresh, citrusy, and tasty; It was salty and all the flavors complemented each other so well forming a perfect citrusy salad. After that was the shrimp tempura. It was not too fried/flaky. It was kind of like a taquito. The shrimps flavor was very fresh with a complementary umami flavor. The Sardine Sashimi was super high quality. It was super soft and fatty and ended with a heavy pleasant fishy flavor. The miso grilled cod was great. Not much to say about it was almost creamy and the miso was good. I ate the skin too and it tasted great. The main part of this place is the soba. The kikouchi soba are thicker 100% buckwheat noodles that were very well cooked and pleasant to eat. The Plum "Ume" broth was so refreshing and nice. I ate it cold; I probably would have preferred it hot but the is just a personal preference. The Ginger Pork was great. The pork itself was super gingery without being too pungent. The shredded cabbage was super easy to pick up and eat and the side of noodle salad and miso soup were great complements to the meal. I can tell no corners were cut anywhere and that Otafuku puts a little of effort into every meal they prepare. There is great care for all of the preparations and it was a very special meal. I felt like I was in Japan for a second as the feel of the restaurant is very "homey" and the ambiance is a nice cheerful atmosphere.

I liked the following pastas: #34 hot garlic with seasoned mushrooms Mushroom & sea urchin/uni Japanese style clam sauce with shiitake & shimeji mushrooms Japanese cod roe with sea urchin/uni, squid & seaweed I also love their $1 salad which can't be beat in pricing. Their overall pricing for the pastas are great. The staff is very friendly and this place can get very busy during peak meal times. So when it's busy, sometimes the orders will come out a bit slower.

Spoon House is known for their Japanese-style pastas, so we got the Japanese-style clam sauce with mushrooms as well as the Japanese-style cod-roe and butter sauce with squid and uni. I was really impressed with how clean the flavors of both pastas were! I ate so much and never felt overwhelmed as I usually do with pastas. The seafood also tasted really fresh and the squid was buttery soft and not chewy or tough. They also have $1 salads which had a tasty, classic Japanese dressing and fresh greens. You just can't find any food for $1 these days, so the $1 pricepoint was really surprising! I also love that they gave a huge serving of bread and butter as an appetizer. The staff was super kind and accommodating, and the restaurant is very cute and retro. They have a small parking lot in the back, as well as easy street parking. Overall, I'm already really looking forward to coming back here and trying more of their dishes. Or getting the same thing because it was just that good!

    One of my friends has been coming here since they were little and has been recommending it forever…read more I had been once a couple years ago, but was happy to come back with family! It was pretty busy on a Sunday evening, but after about a 5-minute wait for a table to be cleaned, we were seated. The space had a lively, casual vibe -- definitely a popular spot for dinner. I love seafood, but I also really wanted to try the katsu, so even though I'm not a big eater, I went with Combo D... which was huge. Honestly, I think it could easily feed two people. The side soup and bread came out almost immediately. The soup was simple but nice with a bit of pepper, and the bread was so good -- warm, soft, and buttery (I had to pace myself knowing what was coming). The pasta was delicious -- the clams weren't overly "clammy" (lol), and the cream sauce was light and not too heavy. The katsu was crispy and satisfying, and the salad added a nice, refreshing balance. Everything worked really well together. I ended up taking a good portion home, and even reheated, it was still just as good! Overall, a great spot with generous portions and solid food. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to others!

I usually read through the Yelp comments and look at the photos before trying a new place, but this time I only checked the rating -- which was great -- and decided to go based on that and the FB post. Looking back, I probably should have read the reviews first. We didn't realize the bento boxes are only available during lunchtime, and we were also surprised to find out they don't have yakitori. Those were two things we were hoping to try. We came with a party and ordered several items, including the Akatsuki Special Hot Pot, which was recommended to us, along with other dishes. The tempura and karaage were definitely the highlights -- both were really good. The rest of the food was okay for our group, but unfortunately it didn't really satisfy our craving or stand out the way we were hoping. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff was friendly. I think the biggest thing was that our expectations were set by what we saw on FB, and the items that caught our attention weren't available when we visited. I would recommend checking their current menu before going so you know what to expect. Maybe we'll come back another time to try their lunch menu and explore more of what they offer.
