Golden Bowls Mongolian BBQ - Sacramento, California

Matt L.

Food: the food is pretty average. The rice is your standard white rice you'd get anywhere else. The chips could use some salt and the sauce seemed a little too sweet for me. The soup was pretty good. The Mongolian noodles themselves were okay. Not the best, not the worst. I'd consider coming again.
Service: The service was amazing. I was seated right away and everything was ready on my table by the time I got back with my bowl. Also, my check was ready to be paid early on so I didn't need to wait for that (that's a plus when you're headed here for lunch from work).
Atmosphere: I'm not sure how this place passes the health codes to be honest but that doesn't stop them from making good food and serving their customers. The ceiling fans were full of dust bunnies and look like they've never been wiped, the trims were really dusty, the walls were dirty, the front door was made of plastic. Idk how they passed the code but nonetheless; good food.

Any time I'm craving Mongolian BBQ this is the only place I want to go. Follow the recipe for adding sauce when you get to it especially if it's your first time. Plenty of options of meats and vegetables with two types of noodles. The family that runs it are very sweet and they put their heart into this place. When it gets busy, it can feel cramped but, it only adds to the family feel of the establishment.
The egg drop soup is absolutely fantastic as a side. They have a great soft serve vanilla ice cream option too if you're craving something sweet after your meal. One of my favorite places to eat! Give it a try if you're craving Mongolian BBQ!!!

Decent place to get Mongolian BBQ for the area. I had a good overall time eating here. Food is good just limiting on the options for toppings and sauce. No AC so dining room was hot and water refill... be prepared to get up and ask. The staff was friendly and nice. I'd be back when in the area

The food was good,sauce was a little thin but still good , service was great, atmosphere got a four star just because it's a little small and crowded

This place is a hold on the wall, the place is small and very outdated with just a few tables to dine in. For the look of it, they don't even have a central AC, I saw either two fans or portable AC. They don't provide a lot of topping options or sauces. The containers they keep the sauces are some sort of buckets, and it doesn't look like they keep up with cleaning clean or organizing the food area. I order to go but they packed the food of the persons before me, they realized the mistake and placed the other persons food in a plate but asked me if I was okay if they pack my food in the same to go box. I believe their to go price is way too high considering you use the same size bowl as if you are dinning in, unfair since you only get to do one bowl unless pay for each one. I wanted to like this place and the their food but I will not be going back.

One of the few good values left when it comes to all you can eat restaurants! The value is unbeatable at less than $20 a person after tax and tip. It is your standard Mongolian BBQ format where you create your own bowl to your preferences and hand it off to be cooked. If you are paying the dinner price you are allowed to create as many bowls as you like.

If you are on your first bowl, you can request a to go box which is nice if you don't end up finishing your first bowl.

The staff are wonderful and it's a fun little place that appears to have been here for quite some time. Definitely worth a stop and don't forget to tip the chefs!

Ok... so my stars aren't great. I do love this little hole in the wall... mom and pop hidden gem. They are a very nice family and it's Mongolian BBQ. No Bells . No WHISTLES. But just mom and pop and good BBQ
