"This hidden gem of a restaurant may be easy to overlook, as it is part of a recently renovated strip mall. While it used to be a standalone building, it is now integrated into a larger complex with access from a small, nondescript road. The interior may feel more like a corporate lobby than a traditional Chinese restaurant, but the food more than makes up for the lack of decor. I stopped in for a quick lunch and was pleased to find a special lunch menu at the back. I opted for the spicy garlic white meat chicken ($8.50) which came with rice and soup. The egg drop soup was delicious and the chicken dish was flavorful, with a slightly sweet and spicy glaze and fresh vegetables. As a fan of Korean Chinese cuisine, I also tried their jjajangmyun black bean noodles, which had a thinner sauce but packed a flavorful punch. The fact that they make their own noodles in-house was a bonus! They also offer standard sides like Kimchi and raw onions upon request. The restaurant is well-equipped to accommodate banquets and large groups, making it a great choice for a big party. I'm glad I discovered this place and can't wait to come back for a bigger portion of noodles next time!"

"Great food and cool staff. Most of the reviews I have read are spot on. The middle age lady who either works there are owns the establishment is a real nasty piece of work. A Coworker of mine has also made mention of the negative treatment he has received there as well. Won't be wasting anymore of my hard earned Dollars there."

"I love this place, but this time I was very disappointed. I ordered the steak sandwich with white cheddar cheese. That's all it said in the menu. What I got was the steak sandwich with white cheddar cheese, horseradish and pickled onions. Easy changes the whole taste! Better explore what they add. I'll write to her company office: You need to list what goes into the "

"They charged me $8.00more than the menu states. They lied and said it was someone else's menu yet the driver said it was theirs but 7 years old. Do NOT believe these people. In fact, go somewhere else"

"I'm giving 5 stars to our local Rodrigo's. My family has been eating here for at least 30 years. The food is consistently good and the service has always been fantastic. The prices are reasonable and the portions are just right. When so many other restaurants leave you frustrated or outraged, Rodrigo's stands above them all. Thanks Rodrigo's!!"

"Update 8/17/22 It tried again today and unfortunately it was pure musk and just tasted like that. When the pictures show, it looked like dog food. I asked for a remake and it was even worse than I could not be possible the second time I thought. This time it was a star. The frits were with a lot of black parts, but not completely boiled or crispy. The curls and the chicken were also soggy and just didn't taste right? Oh, my God! Who thought to make a chicken parmesan poutine?! And how does it taste so incredible? This is not only a snack or appetizer it is a full meal for 2 and it is incredible! They have perfectly crispy but soft frits (it feels wrong to even call them mixed with delicious fried chicken, with addictive fried cheese curds, and a sauce, oh the sauce, it reminds me of my father homemade marinara nobody makes it like him and yet, it took me back. It is exotic and so with chicken and potatoes. Everything complicated itself and images do not make this justice. We ate everything and loved every bite. Absolutely go."

"visited this place in 2019. the chef was very helpful and showed me through the buffet to show all vegan options. there were no tones, but all they had was very good. garlic pasta with fertile, stir fried vegetables, green bean salad, and salate components including cherry pea. they had no vegan salad dresses, so I asked for oily. no vegan desserts on the buffet, but she offered me a heavenly sorbet that was phenomenal. I would give it 4 stars if they were simply more options, but overall I enjoyed my meal, and the service was great."

"I 've made a couple of efforts to eat at Golden Road prior to my recent experience, without any success. They get EXTREMELY busy and they *DO NOT* do reservations. However, upon speaking to the hostess, she advised that a same day visit could be submitted to their website to hold a table but it is only available for a same day visit. On being seated, my boyfriend is on crutches and the server was weaving us in-between tables of seated diners with literally no room for my boyfriend to get through. I had to stop the server to ask for an alternative route to the table. I know this may sound like I 'm knit picking but I feel like it 's common sense to seat your disabled customers and not guide them through a labyrinth of tables, other customers, dogs and servers, putting the customer at risk to injure themselves. We were seated outside in what looks like a 1960s beach party....in a litter box. There were dogs and kids running around everywhere and that made it difficult to hold a conversation. A little boy ran up to our server, threw his arms around our server 's leg and clung tightly and I thought to myself that is why we can 't have nice things. Moving on, our server asked for our drink order, being sober, we had water. The water is self service and I liked that I didn 't have to wait for a refill. There are several large Igloo coolers peppered around the restaurant that people gather and hang around at to chat. There are clear plastic cups littered everywhere, it didn 't seem to be a priority to keep the water filled, cups stocked or to discard the used cups. We don 't drink and other than beer, their beverage selection is minimal and poor. The really cool thing about Golden Road is that the menu has quite a few vegan or items that could be modified vegan. Our server didn 't give us any help with ordering and was not very helpful. We ended up ordering the Impossible burger, fried avocado tacos, mac cheese and the beet carpaccio salad. We didn 't have to wait long for our food, which was both surprising and nice! Unfortunately, this is where everything kind of fell apart for me here. The impossible burger had a house-made bun and came with a generous amount of shoestring fries. The cheese on the burger was a shredded cheese and wasn 't good. The burger itself looks suspiciously like a conventional burger with the inside of it pink from being prepared medium rare. I never thought I 'd have to use that phrase again. So weird. The burger patty itself was flavorless. I don 't mean bland. I literally mean without ANY flavor whatsoever. Edible but a boring waste of calories. The fried avocado tacos were OK. The avocados were fresh but again, lacking flavor. The mac cheese, is in quotes because it was nothing anywhere near resembling mac cheese AT ALL. It was penne pasta tossed with a roasted red pepper oil. This had a little smokey flavor but was NOTHING like mac cheese. The server didn 't tell us that the vegan modification for this dish made it nothing like what anyone would expect. It was really disappointing. The beet carpaccio salad was actually really good. The chef left off the vegan ricotta cheese and the server had to bring me a separate dish of it. The salad was rich, flavorful and overall, the best item we tried. It was pricey for the size but would be the only thing I would go back and order again. Upon completion of the meal, our server explained the menu discrepancies and advised us that the production of their food has changed and not for the better. Apparently, the impossible burger is made from a burger mix. I suggested that they add some spices because the mix is bland. He laughed and agreed. At best, the food is pushing mediocre but has the potential to be great, however, they 'd need a more adventurous executive chef that isn 't afraid of flavor."

"On August 23, 2019, I had a great experience at this restaurant. I really enjoyed the chicken tenders, and I noticed that the place is always clean. The customer service was excellent during my visit. My only issue was that the French fries were cold. However, I wasn’t too bothered since I was really hungry at the time. I’ll be sure to pay closer attention to that during my next visit."

"It was a pleasure to visit this Carls Jr. location. The staff was friendly, the tables were clean and there even plugs to my phone (that was very low in the battery). After a long day at a congress at the Anaheim Convention Center, it was nice to eat something here. I also appreciate the fact that Carls Jr. offers Beyond Burgers. I had the Famous Beyond Burger with cheese and it was delicious."

"Not the best Carl's Jr around, they have children in the back room screaming, and the manager locked the front door cause they couldn't handle, the drive through and the front at the same time, poor management, if OSHA finds out about kids in the workplace, they're going to get a big fat fine!"

"First visit, and had a nice experience. Classic old school décor, with good food and attentive service. We stopped in midweek and were the only customers there. As you can imagine, service was very good. FOOD: Everything was good, but a few things shined. Of course, the complimentary bread was pretty awesome, as all of the reviews state. We shared an order of the Calamari Fritti $16.99), which was lightly breaded, and very tasty. For entrées, we had the Spaghetti with Meatballs $16.99), the Pollo Michelangelo $17.99), and the Manager's Special Trio Chicken Parmigiana, Fettuccini Alfredo, Lasagna for $23.99). You can add a House Salad or Minestrone Soup for $1.99 to any entrée. We finished off the meal by sharing a Tiramisu $6.99) which was very good. We brought our own bottle of wine, and the corkage fee was only $10, with no limit on the number of bottles per table. We also purchased a bottle of their Sangiovese $26), which I thought was very reasonably priced. Overall, a comfy atmosphere, with good service, and tasty food. We'll definitely be back."

"I really enjoy the restaurant because of the manager, Araceli. She has been here for a few years and is always friendly. The chefs are also consistently skilled and the restaurant is always clean. They open early and have never made a mistake with my order."

"The chicken tasted heavenly! So did the side salad, the guacamole, and the broccoli. I didn't eat the tortilla chips, though because I am on a diet. Gotta be careful, though and check your order before you leave. Otherwise, you might end up getting the wrong items."

"The service was SO SLOW even though it was not busy. Took forever to get our waters/cocktails. The server rushed us through appetizers, saying our entrees were ready, but forever to bring our food. Food would have been good if it was served hot. The general manager was nice, checking on us, but the service was lacking"

"This restaurant was excellent, with a wide variety of vegan options available. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, able to guide us on which dishes were already vegan and which could be modified to be vegan. I personally loved the vegetarian burrito, and the Quinoa bowl was also delicious. While there may have been a long wait to be seated, they offer pagers so customers can explore Downtown Disney while they wait to be notified when their table is ready. This review was last updated on July 17, 2019."

"First, big price, only 12.99 plus taxes from July 2022! Delicious traditional Chinese foods (as they are mostly fried or seafood, very little stir in the way only fried meat). Also some of my favorites, such as Misosuppe, Kimchi and cream cheese Rangoons. However, it was very loud and busy with people who play videos and phone calls on speakers, children scream and run makes it difficult to focus on your food or conversation. Some people are so rude and unconsidered that I could hear their action movie by listening to my headphones! There are many parking spaces, but you may need to walk a few minutes from the far end of the game. There is also quite a lot of traffic and many tourists as it is just minutes away from Disneyland. The waiting staff is attentive and courteous, but it is clear that English is not their native language, so do not expect to communicate much about it, ask for a refill or check. The selection of fruits and deserts are also very delicious! The strawberries and cantaloupes were real highlights! There are also ice cups and almond cookies, along with my personal favorite dessert on almost all Asian buffets, the coffee cake! The Teppanyaki cook is respectably good at his work with generous portions of garlic and vegetables. The only food I would advise to get is the cream noodles as it is more oil than cream. The bathroom was also clean and there were high chairs available. Unfortunately, the only diet soda she had Diet Pepsi but this is normal for Asian buffets. Finally, the roast beef cake was also a blow, definitely something I'm back next time. I will update you on my next visit! Thank you for reading and hoping that you will also enjoy this place!"

"Pokinometry has a big name. If you say it, you think science. This will be a gastronomic experience! If you think like me, if you run in the spot, you'll be disappointed. It shows that they only have to take care of more. It feels like there is no presence of management as the owners only want to be left alone. Staff are very young, maybe some of them first jobs. All right. But young, first job employees without leaving good management gave me more impression that they don't care. Maybe they try to recover from pandemic problems, or whatever, but why are other companies doing great, like Poke Co. For example, if you need to order you go though 4 levels: first is the base, second is the toppings, etc. When I stood on the sauce, there are instructions written on a board behind the station. This board has options. The employee asked me if I wanted mild or spicy. After I told them I don't like sharp, they added the sauce, even though I didn't choose it. There were at least three types to choose. Though I thought that would be strange instead of stopping them to ask what the other sauces were, I just went along. The next board was the last toppings. There is a bin of the main tips, and two small shakers of roasted sesame and seaweed. I told them what I wanted from the main subject. After that, the employee took my bowl to the register to check. But I wanted the sesame seeds. So I asked her if the sesame seeds were extra... Can I have something? The employee looked angry. I was one of two clients, BTW. Beside the sesame seeds was crispy garlic and roasted onions. I didn't see them before, and I asked what they were and whether I had something. It was like the employee couldn't wait to get me out. Maybe they could go back to the smartphone games or texts or whatever. The order here felt like I had to tell my kids that they're making their choreographies, and they're trying to get away as little as I can't check on... I was right in front of them. Anyway, I have Salmon Shrimp and Yellow **** Poke Scarf. The yellow dick was great. Very fresh texture. The salmon was muddy. Never had such salmon. I wouldn't go back because there are many other places to try now. Maybe two years ago. So, I think this business is based on foot traffic from all major buildings around. This makes me sense why the owners do not seem to pay attention to their skill compared to others where they have competition directly on the road."

"I love this place! Everything is great! from delicious food, the amazing mood and the kindness of the staff! Everything is cooked for perfection and in such a short time. The Koshari is better than the one I eat in Egypt. The Sogoq and the Alexandrian cattle liver is full of taste you can not enough!! I definitely want to try everything on the menu, so will definitely come back! Very recommended!"
