This is not a proper review, but I've called seven or eight times and nobody answers. I've called a lot prior to this and nobody's answered so that may indicate that they are pretty good restaurants as they probably are busy. I've tried the food in the past and I love it. They provide Chinese food and American food. Well worth the weight. Call them to ask a few questions, but they never answered their phones. read more

Good Times Restaurant - I've tried their phone number within the last 45 minutes six times nobody answers - Chinese Near Me - Newman, California

Twice we have gone to eat there and they were closed before their advertised time of 9pm. It clearly states their hours on their door as well as online. Once was 8pm and they were closed and then today they closed at 7:30pm. Doors were unlocked both times and we walked in only to be told they were closed. We will never go back as we can't trust that they are open. There aren't very many food choices out here. We ended up driving to Patterson and ate wonderful Chinese Food. read more

After ordering 110.00 worth of food for four families to be delivered, I had requested hot mustard and received Chili sauce instead. The driver said he would run back and grab hot mustard and deliver it. About a half hour after dinner, still no delivery. I called and the girl said I ordered hot sauce. I had four witnesses on speaker phone hear me say hot mustard. I asked to speak to Evelyn the owner and was told the driver was still out on delivery and would deliver it later. Damn, someone was getting cold food delivered. Also, the broccoli beef should be called just beef flavored broccoli since there was only 4 tiny pieces of meat in it (yes we counted) And the Shrimp fried rice should be called Shrimp flavored rice, since there was only a few pieces of Shrimp in it. This is the first time I have tried this place since a year ago when I wrote another yelp review As I told Evelyn the owner, she just lost the business of four families! read more

Good Times Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Newman, California

Since when do we have to "request " chili sauce ?? And if it isn't automatically included anymore why not "Offer" it ? That's your job . What kind of customer service is that? This is one of the best local Chinese spots been a local over 20 years and I never experienced horrible customer service from there till today. Sorry Good times but your employees are rude ! Maybe need to teach them proper customer service . read more

Friendly people and good food. Fast and convenient delivery too for the days you don't want to go out.

So I thought I would try this place. There chinese food sucks. Don't waste your money. Won't be going back to this place. Definitely not worth the money. read more

The food can be a hit or miss honestly. I'm just here to mention the lack of air conditioning in the summer. You start sweating the second you enter the building and you're not the entire time you're there eating. There's no air flow whatsoever and that does suck just a bit. Owners are absolutely sweet people and I love them I just wish the air conditioning was a thing that worked. read more

Was very disappointed with my lunch plate. The fried rice seemed like it was made a day or two before and just reheated bc it almost looked slimy and the taste was very questionable. Sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken was god, way too much sauce and amour given was a little stingy. Thank goodness I got the chicken wonton soup though, it was the one thing that was decent, missing some sort of wonton flavoring but I was co tent with it, and helped fill me up. Not sure if I'd try it again. Too bad it is the only Chinese test in town. read more

I previously wrote a nice review and I was I slapped in the face by Good Times. I work hard for my money and this establishment basically robbed me. I promise I will never ever order from Good Times again. I took pictures of the WORST food I have ever had in my life. A Monkey could do better ! They gave us watered down Fettuccine Broccoli with Shrimp and we fed it (minus the Shrimps) to my dogs. The Orange Chicken lack Chicken. The so called Chow Mein was noodles. No seasoning. The same goes for your Fried Rice. One would think your establishment is located in a small town you would want to do your best. I am embarrassed for you. Shame on you ! read more

Overpriced for what you get. For example ham and cheese sandwich grilled is really a piece of fake cheese (American single slices that come in the plastic wrappers) and two very thin slices of ham. It is super thin and super overpriced and doesn't even have real cheese in it. The owner cannot seem to keep good help hired. There is constantly new employees who don't seem to know how to clean tables and wait on people quickly. In other words they need a lot of guidance. PRICES ARE TOO HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Ordered 2 house chow meins today along with a few other items to be delivered. After getting the order, realized they delivered 2 house Fried rice instead. My husband called to let them know of the mistake. The girl had repeated the order back correctly, but wrote it down incorrectly. She wanted to know if we touched the food..?? We didnt and then she asked if we wanted the chow mein. My husband said yes and was told it would be another 20 minutes. She called back and told us it would another $2.37 for the chow mein. Then when the delivery guy came he asked for the incorrect order of house fried rice back. Not sure what they are gonna do with that. My issues with this is #1 what are you going to do with that fried rice?? I hope they threw it away. #2 you made the error and instead of just fixing it, you make a point of charging me the extra $2. Really. We have been trying to order local lately at least once a week due to the shut downs, but I'll put my money to a restaurant who treats the customer better. read more

I ordered almond chicken and chicken chowmein to be delivered and the almond chicken was seriously just chowmein with almonds

Was hoping we could find a Chinese restaurant closer to home. Ordered shrimp chowmein, beef and broccoli, orange chicken and egg rolls. The food was edible (minus the orange chicken). The chowmein had a generous amount of shrimp compared to other restaurants. The orange chicken was drowned in sauce and had a sort of strong chemical smell that burned your nose. read more

Saturday winter evening . They were OUT of all soup. OUT of pot stickers . We ordered sweet and sour pork with rice . 5 min later the wAitress says.....we are out of sweet and sour..... she says pick another dish . Over 15 of their combo plates has sweet and sour. We then order curry chicken . She says u can only have that with white rice . I said no you should put it on my combo since your out of the sweet and sour . She says no we won't do that . Yep not coming back . read more

This place has got to be one of the worst in Newman, sweet and sour chicken was just drenched in syrup- theres no flavor like the garlic or ginger at least. Chow mein was bland, no flavor. If you're going to have a restaurant COOK WITH STANDARDS!! read more

I am feeling under the weather and didn't think it was a good idea to come in and expose the staff, I called at 8:16 and was told they are no longer doing delivery, that they do it between 8:15 and 8:30. I decide to call back at 8:25 to place a to go order, and all I got was the voicemail each time I called. They should update their hours, if they don't want to serve anyone until their 9pm closing time. I've never had this issue with MeiMeis, definitely won't ever be trying to order from Good Times again. read more

I have been coming here for 22 years. Tonight I ordered 2 chicken chow means 2 fried rice a lemon chicken and a sweet and sour chicken, also 4 orders of egg rolls. When they brought the food they brought 2 orders of rice 2 orders of chowmein .5 orders of sweet and sour chicken and 1 order of egg roll. When the food was delivered I was not in front room and the kids dug in! They didnt know the order was wrong. Called good times and was told they were coming to pick up the extra sweet and sour chicken. I told them they kids got into some of it and she said i needed to pay for it! By the way they take back food from people houses gross! They lost a good customer. read more

I always thought that people who do bad reviews are petty and they should look for the brighter side. Haaaaaa. Not today. I ordered from good times a few weeks ago and my order was delivered perfectly . And I tipped. so you can see why after I decided to give them a try last night an I got ripped off. I was only missing one item, I called the store and let's be clear I wasn't even calling for them to replace it, I was just calling to let them know that I spent $70 and I was missing one item. The girl answering the phone, would not allow me to speak to management. I asked her three times, the first time she put me on hold for an long time ( I kid you not), she came back for the second time; she said what is this about? I said I want to talk about a messed up order with a manager . and she said, one second. Same girl, then she clicks back on an says "ma'am what is the problem. At this point I'm already agitated, I said....... you know what ma'am... I don't want anything from you, I just wanna let you know that I spent $70 and I don't have all my items...... I then refreshed her memory to who I was. and I told her to have a great day and I hung the phone up, but I will not be shopping there ever again.She blatantly refused to allow me to speak to manager. I would rather have 10 satisfied customer than 50 sloppy ones.. Maybe that's just me . I know times are hard but dang. read more

We love it!! Mongolian beef is good wish portion was bigger. Chicken chowmain is good. My girls love cheese sticks!

Shoulda yelped this place before going. Disappointment at its finest!! Where is the flavor?! Once you get past the taste of the orange chicken sauce/marinate, whatever you want to call it, the chicken has no flavor to it whatsoever.. The cashew shrimp, no flavor.. Again, where is it?!! Shrimp fried rice, sorry but rice with soy sauce mixed in isn't fried rice & umm where were the shrimp?? After this experience I will never forget to look at yelp before going out to eat.. read more

Visited: January 9, 2016. Around 4:30. Occasion: Grabbing meal before Modesto Con event. With: Me, myself, and I! Service: 2 stars. Food: 1.5 stars. Maybe. The Good: Uh ... no wait time. And you get fortune cookie. The Not As Good: Small portions for take-out, bland & soggy food, confusing credit charge, warm water bottles. Accidentally stumbling in here thinking it was something else. Actually, just more so was trying to "discover" something new without relying only on Yelp reviews and only checked what place it was after I had finished the confusing process of ordering my food. After reading the reviews as I waited for my food I found myself just hoping it would be better than most of the reviews say, but it's really not. At all. The sad thing is, it is one of those places that really does not seem to care because they do not have to. As soon as I walked in the waitress popped up from the table she was sitting at to take my order. At least I can say I appreciate her promptness. The restaurant itself is just a normal space, it has plenty of seating (which I am sure is never full) with basic white table clothes. There were a bunch of menu items posted on the front door that did not seem to match the printed menu inside. At first I ordered one of the regular specials from the front door, which there had said was $6.50 (I believe). The lady asked me if I wanted anything to drink, I responded that just water was fine. She said "Okay, a bottled water" and I told her if it was bottled then I did not need it. (Personally, I'd prefer not to use plastic water bottles at all). After that she said something about a $1 fee on the card. I'm not sure what exactly she meant because she was not really looking at me or speaking too clearly, but I just said okay. Then, my total came out to over $11. For a $6.50 meal and then one water bottle. Clearly, I was confused, and asked about it ... to which she responded that the specials ended at 4. It seems like that was something you could have said when I ordered the special not once the price rings up. Then I switched my order to a combo meal that was listed as $7.50. My total came out to $10.23, which to me seems a bit expensive for Chinese food. After my order, she came to hand me the water bottle - which was room temperature. Clearly had not even been put in a fridge. Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but I've already paid for a plastic water bottle I did not want and now it's not even semi-cold water. At this point I'm just hoping the food is good, but it just wasn't. It wasn't completely bland, like it had some taste to it. Yet, the portions were incredibly tiny. Most of the take out plate was covered in rice with two not even full scopes of the others items (broccoli beef + sweet & sour pork). You know how there is that section that's bigger than a section for the sides? The rice was piled in the side section, then over the top and filling most of the big section. The food was also soggy, drenched in sauce to the point a puddle was left after I had the few bites. Mine was in a take-out box but I ate the food immediately in my car. If I had waited any longer or actually driven home with it the vegetables would have been even more soaked/soggy. The beef was stuck together and not even fully broken into pieces. You it was edible, but it definitely wasn't good. Overall, this place has nothing to stand out. The only reason I could maybe possibly see coming here is if you are craving Chinese food and absolutely need it, but there is nowhere else in town to go. Even then, it seems like it'd probably be more worth it to cook it at home or drive somewhere or at least wait until you have decent food to satisfy your craving. Almost want to give them another star just because I feel bad and the lady was decent despite the confusion, but I'm really going with the "me thinks not" option on this one. read more

Good Times Restaurant - Tiny portions. - Chinese Near Me - Newman, California

Good Times Restaurant capitalizes on the fact that Newman is limited in its selection of restaurants. Specializing in both Chinese and American food, I know that at least their Chinese food is good...not great...just good. I look forward to trying their American dishes. read more

I was on my to Phoenix (again) with my sister. We were driving down I-5 and it was getting close to dinnertime; we saw signs to Newman where we lived until five years of age. Decided to see our parent's old house on Yolo Street and get something to eat. I told the story when I was fixing my parent's house for sale way back when about an A&W that served Linguica Burgers! We later learned that that A&W was now out of business. First thing we noticed about Newman now is that it is about twice the size than when we lived there back when we were little tykes. Almost got lost trying to find our parent's first house! Believe it or not! I wouldn't do this in a bigger city on the risk of getting shot... But we went up to our parent's house on **** Yolo Street and asked the present owners if we could see the inside of their house, as we lived there when we were little tykes. Surprisingly they gave their consent. Learned that the present owners were just a couple of years younger than we were! If we stayed in Newman, we would have been classmates! The husband was in the Service, just like I was. Essentially, the house had changed very little since we lived there! And the present owners were very congenial and hospitable, to boot. Nice experience! Enough of our family history! Now for the restaurant review... We went down Main Street afterwards looking for a place to eat. Seems like most of the restaurants were Hispanic. Saw the sign for Steaks and Hamburgers and found out it was actually a Chinese restaurant once we went in (the ONLY Chinese restaurant): Good Times Restaurant. I guess Asparagus was in season and the waitress, Rose, was pushing that a lot when we asked her what the specialty of the restaurant was. I ordered Beef Asparagus, with double the amount of Black Bean Sauce that they usually use. My sister ordered Chicken Asparagus, not over Rice, but substituted with Chinese Noodles. When the dishes arrived, both on huge plates, we immediately noticed the freshness of the Asparagus. But the overall taste of both dishes was a general blandness. I asked for double the Black Bean Sauce, but there was no indication that the cook followed my directions. Although I did not notice this, my sister stated that Good Times Restaurant uses MSG... Got to take her word for it..... Besides the Fortune Cookies that come after every meal, we ordered some Ice Cream from their fountain. My sister tried a single scoop of Vanila, and I had a double scoop of Rocky Road... Mmm Good! My sister got jealous because she thought Rose was treating me preferentially... my double scoop looked like a quadruple mound of Ice Cream! You gotta hand it to Rose! We found out that Good Times Restaurant was originally located in Gustine; I guess they moved the restaurant to Newman for a bigger population base. All in all, a very good experience... Good Times Restaurant has to spice up their dishes, especially if the customer requests it. The owners were very congenial and talkative; and Rose was especially nice and helpful (she's a cutie also, guys... but she wants to get into law enforcement.... so watch it!). Good Times Restaurant also delivers: from 11am-2pm, and 5pm-9pm. Rates: Free for orders over $15, $0.50 otherwise. read more

Ordered "lemon chicken" got ? It was NOT LEMON. I called owner said she remembers the order and swears it was lemon. I said I have half the box to prove it isn't. All she wanted to do is defend her wrong order and argue. Lost a customer. They raised prices on combo dinners. I don't mine paying the increase, I just want to get what I pay for.

This is the only Chinese place near Gustine that delivers. They have great customer service. Food is ok. I usually get the Mongolian beef over rice. Has good flavor.

Food is blah, but, for Newman this place is five stars compared to the others. However, the portions here are tiny, I paid nearly 9 dollars for a box stuffed with rice and noodles and FIVE yes FIVE pieces of sweet and sour chicken. I know a business wants to cut costs wherever they can, but seriously if people are paying 9 or 10 dollars for a plate of food, don't skimp on the protein. I probably won't order from here again. read more

Good Times Restaurant - My plate right out of the bag. Five pieces of chicken in total. I can't make this up. - Chinese Near Me - Newman, California

This place is far from being Chinese food, this not only feels like they re-heated food leftovers, they lack flavour, the chow mein was plain white, no chicken or vegetables as I ordered, no soy sauce packets included, table didn't have soy sauce bottle nor sirache. Amount of food is ridiculous! They weren't willing to exchange my meal for something else, maybe because staff didn't understand english enough to communicate my complaint. The only thing I enjoyed was a scoop of strawberry ice-cream. They stock a small-scale ice-cream read more
