Overall
  • The restaurant was comfortable and clean.
  • The restaurant was comfortable and clean.
  • The restaurant was comfortable and clean.
  • I would definitely recommend this place.
  • An excellent experience! .
  • SOMEBODY answered our prayers for a reasonably priced, yet upscale authentic Chinese restaurant experience in Edmonton!...The last reviewer (susie100) appears to criticize the restaurant for not guaranteeing a price until a deposit is made....I highly recommend this restaurant to serious Chinese food connoisseurs who enjoy a comfortable and elegant dining experience!
  • I'd recommend this place for meals but not for booking wedding and birthday parties anymore.
  • Chinese restaurants are somewhat notorious for their poor washroom facilities and poor kitchen sanitation practices....For those who have not tried dim sum, it is definitely a fun and unique experience....the Golden Rice Bowl Restaurant is an authentic Chinese dining experience that cannot be missed!
  • was a little shocked at how expensive everything has gotten.
  • For Edmonton, you will be hard pressed to find a better Chinese restaurant.
  • The food just gets better and better with each visit.
  • This is the best place for both dim sum and a regular Chinese sit down meal.
  • This is my favorite oriental place to go.
  • Excellent place for dimsum!
Food
  • Food was average with no notable standouts.
  • expect us to pay more money to order an additional soup to compensate for their unwillingness to accommodate.
  • The meal was the best Chinese food I have ever had, period....From exotic foods like abalone and shark fin's soup to more basic dishes of beef, chicken, or pork.
  • Great food & best facilities!
  • although spotty with each variety of dish, is overall very consistent....A good place to go for dinner on a special occasion or the odd time for Dim Sum (it's more expensive for a reason; it's great, relative to some of the other cheaper fare in town).
  • The meal was the best Chinese food I have ever had, period....From exotic foods like abalone and shark fin's soup to more basic dishes of beef, chicken, or pork.
  • The Dim Sum lunches are noteworthy with a great variety of delicious alternative selections to tempt one.
  • The Dim Sum is superb here, another bonus is they renovated the place and it looks way better than before.
  • Other places in "Chinatown" have raised their prices much more than here, so enjoy the changes, eat the great food, and "pay the piper".
  • To me, so long as the food quality is great, somebody is being attentive to my needs
  • Having read some of the recent reviews, there appears to be a few complaints of modest price increases at the Golden Rice Bowl....I highly recommend this restaurant to serious Chinese food connoisseurs who enjoy a comfortable and elegant dining experience!
  • The food was still good, but pricier and smaller portions....I'd recommend this place for meals but not for booking wedding and birthday parties anymore.
  • Excellent food & service!
  • found it to be quite good
  • Authentic, reasonably priced, good ambience, courteous staff, and great quality food!...You can't miss the delicious offerings this restaurant provides!...For the seafood connoisseurs out there, this is one memorable dish!...fresh fish, shrimp, crab, oysters, and lobster are regular fare here.
  • Great, great food.
  • Their Peking Duck is consistently the best I've ever had and perhaps rivals 'world-class' restaurants in major cites like Beijing and Sydney....Some of the best dishes are not on the menu Make sure you try the steamed lobster over chicken sticky rice-
  • Probably the best place in Edmonton for authentic Chinese food.
  • Their seafood is always awesome.
  • It is the best ever.
  • Food is always delicious!
  • The pastry crust is so flaky, light, airy as a crust should be.
Service
  • Service not really friendly.
  • Mainly, the owner didn't seem to be very pleasant seeing the guests.
  • As far as I can tell when I visit the restaurant, everyone is happy with the service
  • I recall a few grouchy waiters in the past who are now replaced by cheerful and helpful waiters/waitresses.
  • I used to love this restaurant but I'm a bit disappointed after the new owner took over.
  • Service is quick, courteous, friendly and attentive.
  • the staff are usually quite friendly.
  • Ask the staff for recommendations if you are an adventurous diner.
  • Staff is excellent.
Ambience
  • When I say in front, I mean our table is right against the wall where the tv is being projected.
  • The atmosphere was very classy....The restaurant was comfortable and clean.
  • Wonderful wedding reception! ...The atmosphere was very classy....The restaurant was comfortable and clean.

  • the atmosphere is decent.
  • if you enjoy classy surroundings and a CLEAN WASHROOM.
  • Authentic, reasonably priced, good ambience, courteous staff, and great quality food!
Value
  • Cost of my basic cable television bill has gone up about 50% in the last few years.
  • Having read some of the recent reviews, there appears to be a few complaints of modest price increases at the Golden Rice Bowl....It seems too many people expect top notch quality for bottom barrel prices.
  • The food was still good, but pricier and smaller portions.
  • If you want Chinese cuisine that rates among North America's best
  • was a little shocked at how expensive everything has gotten.
