Very. Good Chinese food, reasonable priced , great for takeout. Curry chicken and others are great too

The food was always good but getting negative feedback from people I recommended recently that the food wasn't as good as before. Communications to the restaurant is not good, the phone mailbox is always full and no email or website to communicate on. Needed to cancel a large party today and can't reach anyone. read more

This is the first time we check out Golden Bowl. We have had friends recommend it and we finally stopped by today. When we came in there were other people eating but many take out orders. I overheard her saying it would be 30 mins for anymore take out orders. We ate inside and sat at a table. The server was speedy and friendly. There is a many tables to choose from. I had the orange chicken, egg roll with chicken chow mien and my hubby had the sweet and sour chicken with the garlic chicken and pork fried rice. We also had chicken wings for an appetizer. It was so delicious and fresh! Some people waiting for their order she even had to tell them to wait a little more because they were making more sweet and sour sauce. I can't wait to come back! Next time I'll try the honey walnut shrimp. read more

I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The food is always consistently good -- fresh, flavorful, and comforting. No matter what we order, it always hits the spot. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is friendly and efficient. It's one of those reliable places you keep coming back to because you know you'll have a good meal every time. Highly recommend if you're looking for solid Chinese food you can count on. Place is always nice and clean. read more

Always excellent !! Never been disappointed, very good portions and the service is always top shelf .

I live in Stockton but come here often for lunch whenever I visit my friend in Modesto. I love this place not only very good food but also great service and very good portion sizes so we always end up taking stuff over for leftovers. read more

Small parking lot. Decent size restaurant that can accommodate big or large groups. We were seated right away. Staff is nice but we came on a day that hopefully isn't the norm because service was very slow (but staff was very pleasant). The food was okay. Value was great. Prices for entrees and the servings alone make it worth coming here. The flavor was a hit or miss. Hot &sour soup was delicious. Peking spare ribs had a flavorful sauce but the ribs itself was cold/warm in temperature. The chow fun was fresh and hot but I would say could have used a bit of extra flavor. The Mongolian beef is what you'd typically expect. I'd definitely come back, due to their value. Most likely I'd order ahead of time and just do pick up though since it took a while to get our food. But it's still worth trying. read more

Ordered orange chicken combo plate for my son and to share. He does not like orange chicken sauce so I asked if they can put it on the side. The lady said no. Most restaurants do this with no problem She said she will have to charge me. Then she said he can place it in a container. I said okay. Then when I received my food, I asked for an extra plate, again most places have them for their customers, she said, "No worries don't have plates" then walked to the back. Very rude service. Paid $17 for this and couldn't give me a .15 cent plate. Horrible. Plus, the food was below average...at best. read more

On the road again! Hopefully, this will be the last time this year. I'm a glutton for Chinese punishment so I decided on Chinese again tonight. I ordered the walnut prawns and bbq pork fried rice with no carrots and peas. I was served the fried rice first. They did what I asked and did not add peas or carrots. I tasted it and it was a little bland. I added some salt and that did the trick. I liked how the bbq pork pieces were not too big and overpowering. The pork had a nice flavor with a hint of hoisin sauce. The prawns were a big surprise. I thought it didn't have enough sauce on it when it came out. The flavor made up for it. What I loved was that it was not heavily breaded and it stayed crunchy throughout the meal. The bonus was that the walnuts were glazed! For once, it's nice to get a surprise when your expectations are low. Maybe that's what I need to do when I review all my dishes read more

So my review is strictly on food. I sent my husband to pickup an order to go and they were willing to take our order 35 minutes to closing which we appreciated. Great service. I normally go to the Bamboo across the street for pickup orders and Imperial garden for dine in. So that being said. I only ordered 4 items. First time to try sizzling rice soup so I have nothing to compare it to. It was decent soup. Mild on flavor. I ordered the house fried rice. It was comparable to basic county fair fried rice. Mongolian beef was the same. And lastly was my salt & pepper fish. It was so overcooked. I was trying to cut a piece off with my spoon and had to aggressively murder it to cut a bite off. I might be picky but take what u want with my review. I normally don't review unless it's super terrible or effing amazing but I haven't eaten all day and even starving I was so disappointed. I don't even remember exactly what my bill was but it is what it is. I guess I might b spoiled by my Chinese food experience. Ugh! I wish this would've been better. :( read more

Really nothing special to note. I felt the food was subpar to average and overhyped by other reviews. Nobody in my household really cared for it. There are better local choices for Chinese Food IMHO. read more

I've been going here for at least 10 years, and the food has always been great, until last week. The entree was still good, but I think they got a new cook, and the fried rice was horrible. Didn't even taste like true fried rice, more like steamed rice with added vegetables. read more

First time trying Golden Bowl and the food was tasty. Upon entering, my daughter and I were kindly greeted and seated quickly. Our order arrived promptly as there weren't very many customers inside. Our favorite dishes were the garlic chicken and fried rice. read more

I called in an order and the lady was super nice and I could understand her. The Mongolian beef was very rough and tough; next time, I'll try it with chicken. The chicken chow mein was very good, kind of blah in flavor, but I added some soy sauce. The Kung Pao chicken was delicious. Omg, the sweet walnut shrimp was . I would definitely order from here again! read more

A bit upset with this place. The younger lady that took our order was rude and it's very unfortunate because we had been waiting to eat here for quite some time. It took over 45 min to get our food had to take it to go since I was at lunch. The waitress looked very upset don't know why so we felt like she took it out on us. Won't be back read more

Staff is very nice & attentive - we went randomly on a Sunday evening and they were unexpectedly busy with four 6+ people groups but they handled it great. Food was all good, but especially the pork fried rice (which wasn't greasy or oily at all). read more

I paid 15 dollars for like 6 pieces of chicken. The one I Hughson and Waterford don't do this. I will never come here again. The lady was rude and my plate was completely NOT worth15$ this is wild. You should be ashamed charging that and skimping on the meat read more

The food was good with large portions and the service was excellent! Mu shu pork was enough to feed 3 people.

Nice little spot if you're in the mood for good Chinese food! Very reasonable price wise and food was very good and fresh. Restaurant was clean and service was quick and friendly. There seemed to be a lot of regulars coming for pickup, which seems like a good sign to me. Will be back! Only flaw, I wish some type of music played inside, was quiet. read more

Go at your own own risk service was rude and the chow mein was sweet not sure why but never had to return chow mien due to it being too sweet. they got upset and started being rude/sarcastic after I brought the sweetness of the dish to their attention.

Tasty food and Michelle in Salida is awesome! My first choice! Fast prep for call-in orders as well.

My go to Chinese restaurant!!! Always soooo good & staff is always friendly. 10/10 recommend dine in or take out.

The food is delicious. I got the number two combo sweet-and-sour, chicken, fried rice, and a egg roll I am staying at the Doubletree hotel across the street. This is the kind of food. I grew up eating what we call old-school Chinese restaurant. The service was very good very large portion for the price. I definitely recommend it and I will be back. read more

I called in an order today. Was told it was a 35min wait. Unfortunately I should have just went to my go to place. I travel 18mins to see what all the hype was about and it was very disappointing. Not to mention I waiting over a entire hour for my food. I get home and look at my plate and realized that I didn't get foil chicken. Which that is what is listed with the combination plate I ordered. I call back and the lady explained that it's more money. That next time I would have to tell them I want it. SMH worst customer service. I told her that there isn't going to be a next time. That was before I even tried the food. Which it was so basic nothing about it was great. The boyfriend didn't like it at all. Seriously this place is a waste of money. read more

Came here with my family for dinner and we ordered the Kung Pao chicken beef with broccoli chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice. Immediately we noticed the meat tasted old like it had been sitting out for hours or longer. The waitress never came back to check on us so that we could tell her. When she finally did come we asked for the check and told her the meat didn't taste right and we didn't need boxes. She gave us attitude for letting her know. The whole meal was there we didn't touch it she didn't offer to Discount the meal or anything we just paid and left I would highly recommend you find a different place to eat my daughter ended up getting sick as well myself. We will never come here again read more

This location as well as it's other "sister" Restaurants have maintained high quality food, amazing standards, excellent customer service and care, for over 20 years. I first ate Golden Bowl in Ripon, 17+ years ago, fell in love with the food and admired the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owners and staff never cease to provide the most valuable dining experience as well as delectable dishes with zest and quality flavors!!! (I wish I had pictures to do my review, and this restaurant some justice ! ) read more

Ok, after going to one of my favorite places, which looked dirty and is under new management, I thought I would come here. What a great experience. I checked out the menu which had SOOOOO many options and since I really wanted a tofu dish I asked if they could whip up something. She asked me what I wanted and I described a dish, she told me no problem and prepared it perfectly. So yummy and fresh. The place was so clean and so was the kitchen (I peeked). So was the bathroom I'm so glad I decided to come back, I liked it before, but even more now. read more
