Golden Bowl - Van Nuys

Located in a strip mall on a corner intersection. Decent value for the large teriyaki bowls considering the amount served. No bathroom available for customers, but there’s a McDonald’s within the complex. The beef is too thinly sliced for my liking, but if that’s you’re thing then you’ll enjoy it. Personally I prefer the chicken. Only a few tables inside, so not ideal for groups larger than 4.

Arrived at about 6pm with one other person in line. When I left there was at least 10 people in line, obviously a popular place in the neighborhood. I ordered a medium teriyaki bowl which was loaded with rice and a decent amount of meat too. The chicken had a great char and was good with a light teriyaki sauce. The young lady who helped me at the register did a great job of balancing phone orders and other demands and was very polite. The guys in the back cooking the food seemed a bit unprofessional. One cook used the knife he cut the food with the scrape/clean the cutting board and the used his hand to wipe it off. They should address this. There is very limited seating with only 3 tables. Seems to be a place to order take out.

I had the Large Beef Teriyaki bowl and it was delicious. Topped with Avocado yum. Hidden gem, you gotta check this place out.

You no, people just lack common courtesy, they have no patience, at least they do not at the grocery store, it's always been just one big Clusterfu#k

I absolutely adore the food at this restaurant - the portions are generous and the flavors are excellent. However, what truly sets this place apart is the amazing staff, especially Francisco. I accidentally left my wallet on my chair when I left and didn't realize until the next day. Luckily, Francisco found my wallet and not only kept it safe but also went above and beyond to deliver it to my house. It's reassuring to know that there are still honest and kind individuals in the world. Thank you, Francisco, for your kindness and honesty - you definitely prevented a major headache for me.
