Found thick hair in bowl. Pretty disappointing.

Found hair in bowl. Was very disappointed as it Was my first time trying this place out.

Chicken and steak

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
Nikki V.

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
Crystal T.

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!

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.

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.

I got the Chicken Bowl with the avocado and fries and let me tell you its amazing.

The chicken bowl with the avocado and fries was amazing. It was all perfect and the service was excellent, they even opened up my bottle for me.

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.

I love this place. Never had a bad dish from them. The half and half plate is my jelly jam. Glad they are on Postmates.

The younger ladies working here have terrible attitudes, both in person and on the phone. When I called, they wouldn't even give me my order total. ​Overall, they act like they are doing you a massive favor just by doing their jobs, completely forgetting that the customers are the ones keeping the business going. It is really frustrating to see a place I used to enjoy go downhill like this. I will be rethinking coming back here.

The staff go above and beyond to make you feel appreciated, always checking in with a positive attitude and great energy. I also noticed the owner personally interacting with customers, taking the time to talk with people and make sure everyone is taken care of--it's clear he truly values his patrons and takes pride in his business. Now the food... easily one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The meat is high-quality, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The toppings are fresh, and everything comes together in that "this is exactly how a pastrami sandwich should taste" kind of way. The bread is soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart--every bite is just right. The fries are crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all, making them the perfect side to the sandwich. Portions are very generous, and the quality you get for the price is hard to beat. If you're looking for a spot that delivers on flavor, consistency, and outstanding service, Fabulous Burger is definitely worth it. I've been coming here for many years and will continue--no question.
