Just got my order, the delivery person was a total asshole! If you don't want to do the job move on ! I will never, never order from them again. And I will encourage my family and friends to boycott as well. Too bad gold bowl, I really enjoyed your food. Too bad one bad experience can loose you one customer, but potentially several.

I don’t want to sound awful but sometimes I get a great take out .. The last couple of times the spareribs have barely any meat on them in the courier yet has barely any sauce and it doesn’t taste like hurry. I’m sad to say that I probably will not be ordering from you anytime soon.

My husband and I usually go here to relax and spend time cuz it's quiet and nice but tonight (2-28-18) was different when we got there. We walked in and a couple was waiting to pick up there food and we stood there for 10 mins and noticed the front counter lady was serving a lady that was seated with her son, we saw the Please Wait to be seated sign so we decided to sit down in the waiting area that had about 4 chairs. We'll needless to say she passed us about 14 times and still said nothing, like for here or for pick up.. Nothing... Well a couple came in after 20 mins of us waiting to be seated and as soon as they walked in she grabbed menu's And asked them for here and walked them to a table. So my husband and I stood up upset and in shock of the being disrespected. I literally cried from having a horrible day, I just wanted to sit down and eat with my husband at our favorite place at the time but nope. The food is excellent but that's the most pooriest sucky service I have ever seen or experienced. Shame on that front counter lady. You DNT know how a persons day is or there life is and you just made it worse, like we are trash. Thanks

haven't ordered from here in years. But, found out they deliver to Sterling so I gave them another try. I wish I hadn't. Food is still awful. Boneless ribs were very fatty but the meat was dried out. Crab Rangoon was too sweet and I couldn't find any crab meat. pork fried rice had sometrhing cold a slimey at bottom like unmelted gelatin. Never again. I'll stick with Hong Kong Island in Worcester.

Calamari is rubbery. Fried rice has too much soy sauce. Egg rolls are oily. Dumpling wraps are too thick. Scallion pancakes are overfried (too hard). Singapore rice noodles is the best.

I have always praised your business and told everyone I know that this is the best place. But after the order, which was so messed up, the other night (Friday) and so bad, I didn'y even receive half of what I orderd and the egg rollsl were so bad (salty, and I love salt) I had to throw them away. This was the first time I have ever had a bad experience from this place but as much as I have always loved it I am really disapointed. Steve

This has become my favorite restaurant for multiple reasons. 1) The drive-through window is a GREAT idea for ordering food. 2) Eating in is ALWAYS a pleasant experience. 3) The staff are genuinely very nice people where kindness isn't just part of the job. 4) The quality of the food has never faltered. My first time there I was super impressed by how WELL made everything was. After eating here probably around 50 times since, the quality is still comparable. For some reason, I had expectations that most restaurants will slack off once they settle in and get enough business going. 5) They are very quick, and very organized. Everyone there has a job to do, and you're never left wondering who is going to serve you where. They are attentive to their customers. Really, since I started going here, I haven't been to another restaurant for Chinese food. There's just no going back to the other fast-food takeout types of chinese.I've tried everything on the menu. Have not been disappointed with a single thing.Really, keep up the fantastic work, everyone! :)

The crab rangoon are the best around! The rice is moist and flavorful, and doesn't taste like it has been sitting around waiting to be ordered. The Pu-Pu platter is GREAT!
