Golden Bowl

The problem with the Golden Bowl is that their food is very inconsistent. Most recently, we had a terrible experience where the beef was so chewy, it was inedible. Quite frankly, chewing food only to spit it out is not a very pleasant experience, nor is it a good experience to see gobs of napkins with inedible meat piling up as you are trying to eat – truly disgusting. When I complained about the food, the immediate response is to offer money back, but money is not the issue. My family dines out a lot, so I want local food that is edible; however, instead of suggesting a change in beef vendors, the source of where they buy their beef, the staff suggested that I no longer order beef plates.
This is not good management, nor is it a good way to run a business. After all, food (in order to be consumed and enjoyed) must be edible.
This is not the first time we have had problems with their beef, but even though it was incredibly chewy, we were able to manage through it. This was just not acceptable for any dining establishment. When looking over the totality of these reviews, I am attributing the ratings to the fact that there are only a couple of places to eat in this tiny town.

Best Chinese food I have been to in a long time. Live in Oakdale but will make the drive for this place. Best food and fresh!

Walnut prawns are the best I’ve ever had!!! Best chow mein I’ve ever had too!

This place never disappoints me. Love their shrimp chow main, orange chicken, garlic chicken, broccoli with beef, you just can’t go wrong with their dishes.

Never disappointed though I get take out at least twice a month. Great place to pick up food when guests come to town. Wonderful staff and wonderful food. You can’t go wrong! The orange peel chicken is to die for!

We always takeout, our order is always hot and ready in 10 minutes. Friendly service and never disappointed in the quality or portion size. Thankful to have China Bowl in Hughson.

The BEST Chinese food in the valley!!! Sweet and sour chicken is to die for, fried wantons are AMAZING, spring rolls are delicious, wonton soup is the bomb!!! Everything is excellent!!!

Some of the best Chinese food around. SO good & portions are pretty big as well.
The only thing lacking is interior.
The employees are friendly and the food is done quick.

Love Golden Bowl. We used go to the one in Hughson and always ask them to open in Waterford. So glad they did. It’s always good to see a business succeed and they have for sure.

Love the food here. The garlic chicken is by far the best I have ever had. I will definitely be back. Just kidding I’m always here!

Ordered dinner to go. Got say it had great savor. I’m not a Chinese food fan but will definitely try it out again. We ordered the lemon chicken. It was a filet breaded and deep friend and sliced. Lemon sauce on the side. Also had a combination plate of sweet sour pork with rice n chow mein. Everything had a great taste to it. Portions were good.

Good food. Good prices. Great service. Very clean. Only downfall is the very limited seating. I love how you can call in an order for pick up and they make sure it is ready at the time they give you.

Awesome food and service. HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP IS AWESOME!!! this is the best reasturaunt in Hughson hands down.

Found this little treasure by mistake. We are in Hughson for a not so pleasant reason. We were hungry my daughter found this on Unilocal and decided to try it because of the reviews. OMG WOW this is the best Chinese food I have tasted in a long time. I would drive back here just to eat this Chinese food again in the future. Thank You for a great experience.

I absolutely love this place. Service is good, price is good food is great. I really wish they would get a bigger building, hate sitting so close to people. But that’s not going to stop me from eating here.

Excellent honey walnut shrimp and pork fried rice. Great vegetable egg foo young, w/​loads of sprouts. Definitely a great little find in such a small town.

Great fried rices, love the sesame chicken. But always ask for light on the sauce, then it always comes out perfect. I’m from NYC. So I guess this is the closes I can get to good Chinese

I give this wonderful little place 5 stars, which is something I would never do except for a special meal that was exceptional and service to match. I happened on to this place in a medical emergency looking for a safe place. I have a severe allergy for which I quickly needed a antihistamine. I chose this place among all the others because I felt safest there. I entered andinformed the lady of my dilemma. I then ordered food in Chinese and suddenly all is cool. My pork noodle was one of the best soups that I’ve had in a long time. I consider myself an expert on cha Sui tong mein and this was exceptional! My heartfelt thanks to them for allowing me time and space to endure anaphylactic shock while the meds did their job.

Great meal loved every bite even the fortune
Cookie was delicious come back any time

I have taken the family here thrice, and each time we were not only satisfied, but found the dining experience to have bettered the previous. Standard but good menu selections, well maintained but small dining area (but there exists a larger, 8-​person round table with a lazy Susan which is inviting), and attentive staff. Not the best, but definitely impressive for the very small town of Hughson. Chicken in foil was a stand-​out.
Clean? Yes.
Service? Very attentive.
Food Quality? High and fresh.
Overall? Looking forward to the return.
