From Google Maps reviews.
Great value for $8.50, if you tell them no rice, you can select 5 items, which works out for us because we're a low carb family. Came back to say, you also receive a small cup of seaweed soup.
Golden Bowl harkens to the Chinatown before gentrification. It’s a very humble, no-frills spot where food is ladled by old ladies, hardly any English is spoken, and there are no tourists. $8.50 (tax included) gets you 4 dishes and rice. There are many choices, including a lot of vegetarian options. Canned soda is $1. Cash only.
We stopped here after an afternoon on the ferry and traveling. The food was all incredible and the all day lunch specials meant we got plenty of food to share and enjoy. The tempura and the glazed salmon were our favorites!
