Golden Bowl Restaurant in Lathrop offers a straightforward, unpretentious take on classic Chinese dishes that locals seem to appreciate for both quick dinners and casual family outings. Situated on East Louise Avenue, this spot fits neatly into the neighborhood’s everyday dining scene with a focus on hearty portions and reliable flavors rather than flashy presentation.

The atmosphere is relaxed with friendly, attentive staff who accommodate guests even close to closing time, making it a convenient choice for those evening meals when plans run late. The seating and overall pace suggest a place where families or groups can comfortably settle in for a satisfying meal without rush.

On the menu, you’ll find familiar staples like Sweet and Sour Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and Beef Chow Fun alongside comforting soups such as Egg Flower and Hot and Sour Soup—dishes that come out fresh and flavorful, appealing to those who prefer their Chinese food with bold but balanced seasoning. Portions tend to be generous, and many visitors leave with leftovers, which adds to the spot’s practicality.

Golden Bowl works well for anyone looking to enjoy a no-fuss Chinese meal with diverse options—from Sesame and General Tao Chicken to Chop Suey variations and classic Egg Foo Young. It’s especially suitable for locals and families who want a dependable place where the food is familiar and the service is welcoming, even during slower hours.

While some dishes like the rice and spareribs with salt and pepper seasoning get positive nods, the experience also points to a place better appreciated for its overall homestyle feel than for any specific standout dish. For travelers or locals passing through, the noodle soups and mixed vegetable plates offer a warm, satisfying choice that complements the casual dining environment.

I came here with my parents and we arrived during closing hours. We didn’t realize this until we sat down and they were still extremely welcoming. They even offered to let us stay for an additional 40 minutes. This was plenty of time considering their food was very good and flavorful and we finished in about 15 minutes. Very kind people and I 100% recommended this place to people who want amazing customer service and great authentic chinese food.

We moved from the Bay Area to Stockton 10 yrs ago. Could never find good Chinese food. And we tried a ton of different places. Moved to Manteca a couple of years ago and resumed our search. Tried this place today. Found it!!! Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh and yummy! Nice portions, I was mad when I got full so quickly-lol! Had plenty to take home. Very nice and attentive waitresses. Excellent service with a smile. Welcoming atmosphere. We went around five o clock, and as others mentioned, parking is tight. We were very lucky that someone was pulling out as we pulled in because the lot was full. Within 15 or 20 mins, the tables began to fill up, and I could see that the counter was busy with call-in and take-out orders. We ordered house fried rice-yummy; Mongolian Beef-delicious; sweet, and sour chicken-just the right amount of sweet and crispy; sautéed vegetables-so flavorful and crispy noodles and seafood-oo la la! All sooo good. Can hardly wait to try other dishes on our next visit. If we can resist reordering these

Sweet and sour with chicken noodles was so flavorful it had you digging for more. I’m very picky eater I like things that are not bland everything has to be 100 in flavor. I didn’t like the egg rolls the rice was good and spareribs salt pepper was also good.

We stopped in after driving most of the day, and had a quick, lovely dinner. The four of us were all over the menu - noodle soup, beef and mixed veg combo plate, sesame and orange chicken and rice. All dishes were fresh and delicious and the service was amazing. Highly recommend the noodle soup!
