Reviews For Golden Rice Bowl

I don't expect much from a full meal for less than 10, so this exceeded my every expectation! The enthusiastic staff is a bonus! Would happily pay double, and be back for more if I lived in the area.

Staying in Kayenta for the night and wanted something besides fast food. This place was close to my hotel. So glad we decided to try it out. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Would eat here again for sure!

For American Chinese food, this was hot, fresh, and surprisingly tasty. The price was also good since the portions were large. The noodles, Kung Pao, and Orange Chicken were particularly good.

Great Asian food and incredible service. The man was so nice and attentive. Amazing Jalapeno Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken; both of them spicy. Amazing price for the combos. 100% highly recommended!

I am absolutely awe-struck by the sheer idiocy of people expecting fresh, authentic American-Chinese food in the middle of the desert with no other options for 50 miles. If your palate cannot handle what you should expect to be stale, frozen, flash fried food, then go to the grocery store next door like a rational adult, buy a loaf of bread, some lunchmeat, a few pots of yogurt, and a few pieces of fruit. You can feed lunch to a family of four from Basha’s for less than mediocre quality Chinese food. I would never eat here. But I give it 5 stars to hopefully balance out the morons who ate here and thought they should expect fresh food and fast service in the literal middle of no where.

Not bad for Chinese in Kayenta, Arizona. A nice change from the usual fast food choices. Good sized portions and decent price. Good variety too. The orange chicken and teriyaki chicken were good.

A Chinese place I would eat at again. Noodles weren't dry like it is at most places. Employees were courteous and nice.

We had to go but service was quick. 2 entre and 1 rice bowl and I always get steam rice with Kung poa or spicy shrimp n the broth to cover the rice. Very good. U can get half n half rice n noodles. Then the entre. They had wonton soup and spring rolls. Always hardly anyone eating there because locals get to go and eat at home. But it's always good food.
