    Steamed Chicken & Broccoli w/ sauce on the side
    Stephen V.

    Yelp says 3 stars is "A-OK" which I think is a good description of this Chinese American restaurant. Been coming here for my lunch break a couple times over the last few months and have ordered a few different things for myself and my girlfriend. Kung-Pao Chicken with Peanuts, Hunan Chicken, Bourbon Chicken, Pepper Steak with Onions, Beef Lo-Mein, Tofu Vegetable Soup, and Wonton Soup. To be honest, the different chicken dishes all pretty much taste exactly the same. The quality of the meat itself is very good, but everything seems to always taste under seasoned. The lo-mein was not terrible but not great either, pretty greasy. The tofu vegetable soup was really really bland, need to add salt or something with some flavor, and the mushrooms in the soup were inedible, tasted either rotten or canned. The rice is just OK, fried rice again lacks any real taste but the texture is good. Actually the best dish we have gotten is the Bourbon Chicken which I did not expect. The wonton soup is pretty good, and the prices for lunch specials is insanely good (only $5.50 for entre, rice, and soup). Place seems clean enough, staff is friendly, and the food comes out quick and correct. Nothing to write home about, but I will keep coming back because the prices are so good.

    Food was ready on time. Ordered online to go but the seating area looked fairly clean so I wouldn't mind eating in at some point. You have the option to pay online or upon pickup. Huge lunch portion, definitely worth the price.They don't specify but the soup is wonton unless otherwise noted. You can swap out the rice for lo mein upcharge. Fried rice was a little bland but otherwise great experience.

    Can't miss it!

    Ordered delivery on a Wed night around 5:15 PM. I was told it would be 15 minutes. 50 minutes…read morelater, we called and were told that it was on the way. This is not the first time they've done this. Don't say 15 minutes if it's going to be THAT much later. No fortune cookies, no spoon for the soup. Disappointed. I will more than likely go with the other chinese place in town next time.

    Woah! I am pleasantly surprised by the first Chinese restaurant we tried in town. I cannot base it…read moreoff of others in the area, but Golden Bowl was more than I hoped for a Chinese take-out right around the corner. The general Tso chicken was great. The sauce consistency is more like BBQ sauce (it does not taste like bbq sauce) and it was the perfect portion of crispy and meaty. The portion was large. My party also got hot & sour soup, chicken fried rice, crab meat puffs, and beef with garlic sauce - no complaints. Personally, I don't think the soy sauce had much flavor but that is not a huge deal to me. I ordered for take out and it took 20 mins to have competed at lunch time- speedy. Inside is your typical "hole in the wall" Chinese restaurant. The only smell I got was 'old' and that's because it's an old building. The employee was very friendly and provided us with extra fried rice that he made. I will definitely be back to try more!

    Great quality Chinese takeout. I've ordered from here three times now, and each time they've…read moreknocked it out of the park. Consistency is my number one thing I look for in a Chinese takeout spot, and so far it's been great. I've tried the house special mei fun, boneless ribs, chicken and steak fried rice, fried wontons, and fried chicken wings, and each has been spectacular. They've also given me a freebie each time I've picked up my order--either a couple of free sodas or a 2-liter. Very friendly staff. I absolutely recommend this takeout spot to anyone who loves Chinese food.

    The food took two hours. The initial order was put in at 4:28 and the order was estimated to be…read moredelivered NLT 5. It got adjusted twice and now is being estimated to be delivered by 6:18. The place is a mile away and doesn't offer pickup on the app. We selected this restaurant over the other close Chinese restaurant because of the ratings but with this service I would just pick the other one. I finally called the restaurant and the lady who answered the phone said the order was delivered. The app said (and still now at 7:16 still says) the order is in process. She said her app (what app?) showed the order as being delivered. We checked the front door (we were sitting in the front room the entire time) and the food was on the front step. The driver never knocked, never rang, the app was never updated. When I opened the order, we were missing not only the large wonton soup, but also the General Tso's Chicken Combo Plattet was missing the lo mein noodles. The store offered to provide an in person credit (we were in a rush to depart on a five hour drive and had ordered delivery so we wouldn't need to go anywhere and wait) or a grubhub credit (I never use grubhub, I ordered through Yelp, and with this service I won't ever use it again.) So, a pretty lousy experience for OK Chinese food that was supposed to be convenient but was the most inconvenient delivery experience ever
