1200 Boul. de Rome, Brossard, QC J4W 1B3, Canada
Unfussy, cash-only establishment featuring a wide-ranging menu of traditional Chinese & Thai dishes.
I called to place an order of 3 dished for pickup at 5:50pm. The lady said it was going to take 50 mins. Long but fine. I showed up and paid at 6:45pm. I got my dishes at 7:35pm....... Either the whole ordering over the phone saves you absolutely no time or they are absolutely overwhelmed. Whatever the excuse, anytime you order from there during a busy period, you'll end up waiting a significant amount of time. I've been going there occasionally for over 15 years now and I'm asking myself why the hell have I been putting up with this crap service. Well, I'm sorry, I'm not coming back anymore. Yes the general tao is good but it ain't worth the wait. I suggest you skip as well.
This place was recommended by friends. They said the food was delicious with large portions, so I was excited. The food was indeed great ! However, the hygiene was concerning: I found a piece of steel wool in my plate, and my friend had a piece of paper in his. We didn’t complain because we noticed it immediately. Also, it’s cash only, so be prepared. Maybe it’s time to start accepting card payments? The food is great for the price, but I’m unsure about the rest. I might return, but not often, unless there are improvements in other areas :)
I bought the General Tao and stir-fried broccoli and shrimp. It was delicious. The portions were so generous that we ate it for three days. I highly recommend this place
Excellent service! Great portions! The general tao was the highlight of the meal! The salt and pepper shrimps were a bit disappointing because they used small shrimps and they were kinda "floury" as if the flour wasn't cooked enough ? It's not the salt and pepper shrimps were used to but they were alright. The noodles and vegetables were good too.
My first visiting I will recommend this restaurant I will be going back but I will place my order on the phone first before going to pick up next time.This is a hidden gem in the heart of Brossard I never imagined a restaurant in Quebec would give such a large portion of food, they literally fed my family of five people and we are full after eating the food. The images are after we ate and that’s the leftover food wow, not only that I would rate the overall meal a solid 9 out of 10, the wait time was long like 30 min but wasn’t a problem because they prepared the food fresh and you can see the process of them cooking it’s an open kitchen, the price was just right for this entire meal make sure you bring cash an inconvenience I would say, the male concierge was nice. I saw people dine in so it’s an option, but I had ordered take out.
Been to this place so many times over the span of 20 or so years and it is hands down the best!!! The portions and price are amazing. We ordered 3 mains for our family of 4 and I honestly have enough food for another meal.. or two! The staff has been the same for years and they are very friendly. You gotta try it!
Great place, it took over 30 minutes to receive my $79 take out meal… and at a certain point, like well after 30 minutes, you are sitting waiting and thinking “at this price the food better be really good…” I can honestly say it WAS worth the wait. The food was plentiful and delicious. Actually replace plentiful with WAY TOO MUCH! See photos… It’s not a bad thing, but when you order you have to assume that every item ordered is for 2-3 people. Other than that there are way too many rude and self important customers walking in there, giving a hard time to the staff and what have you. Just look at the food prepared table and understand that Sunday evenings are pretty busy, and use your brains before you start giving the staff a hard time. Anyhow thanks Golden Bowl good to see you are still rolling.
This restaurant is pretty popular for takeout. The general Tao was good but the chicken was a bit dry. The eggplant dish was well flavoured and my favourite out of the dishes. The salt and pepper squid was nicely seasoned and super crunchy. A bit too much batter for my liking. Not the best Chinese resto in town but still decent food.
Pretty sad the size of the small Tom yum soup. I used to fill my small soup thermos with it. Now I fill it up half way. Waste of a drive going there.
Considering the good food and good behavior of the staff, we have to wait a long time to receive the food. I think it is better to increase the number of cooks so that they can serve customers faster. Thanks, good luck.
I loved going to that place with my friend Victor on Sundays
Wait too long, an hour and a quarter for take out
The portions were very big, tasted great, the waiter was very polite. Everyone was happy, and we had a good time.
The food is excellent. We order takeout. Still so good.
Very good food, friendly staff. The best General Tao chicken and Hot & Sour soup. Fair prices. Will be a frequent customer.
The food is excellent. A few nonchalant waitresses. And I find it a shame that they close at 8 p.m. every day. Parking: Its a place that has a lot of customers but there arent a lot of tables inside.
I ordered the general tao for takeout, I had it in less than 5 minutes. Extremely fast service, remember to bring cash for example! General Tao is crisp, there is a lot of stock too I recommend!
Excellent !! Quick & delicious Mmmmm!!
Very good restaurant, generous and tasteful dish. The price is worth the portions, you will not be disappointed. However, plan on waiting time because there are a lot of people.
Best Chinese spot in Brossard
Prices have really gone up and quality of the food has gone down. $20 for 1 plate is too much considering the quality of the food.
I ve been going here with my family since it opened in 2001! Food is great and always have enough for left overs! Staff is very kind. Recommend to everyone
Very expensive. Subpar food. Curry beef was 50% onions. Get ready for the surprise! Cash only, ATM $3 service fee.
When I lived in Brossard, I went to the Bol dor at least once a week. Plus, at work we often went there too. The food over the years (over 15 years) has always been of exceptional quality and what can I say about the taste! Everything is delicious! And the plates are so generous that unless there are two on one plate, you wont finish it! My must-haves are the Tom Yum soup (spicy and tasty), the General Tao (on the spot, even better because its crispier), and of course the pad thai (is not typical Thai but has such a unique taste that it makes it my favorite). Oh yes! The Singapore noodles and 5-spice chicken are also some of my favorites. As a starter, the salt and pepper fried squid will delight you. The atmosphere is large open area where you can see the cooks (a plus for me) and it can be a little cacophonous but we always go back for the food and the service. In terms of service, Lee always runs his restaurant masterfully and the service is always courteous. *Cash only* Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian dishes, very well indicated on the menu
We give this restaurant 3 stars and that s because the food is so good! On the other hand, we arrived with our baby in a stroller and the waiter quickly and repeatedly told us that we could not leave her near the table so as not to block the service (we had only just entered the restaurant!). Otherwise in terms of cleanliness phew! If delivery is offered I would take this option rather than eating there.
Its not pretty but its good
Very generous portion, very good chicken, my rolls very good too! I asked for fried rice and it took me a while to realize it was fried but otherwise it was satisfactory! First satisfying experience! However, they should specify that they do not take any other payment method than cash!
We always eat well there; everything is good! Parking: Not a very big restaurant that doesnt look like much, but the service is so good and fast. Do not take Visa or debit card: cash only. Kid-friendliness: They have child seats.
Tasty food with huge portions and low price. Their General Tao is the best that I ever had.
Food was okay, nothing more. Very dirty restaurant
This restaurant is really very, very dirty and I told him that my soup was not good, and so was my chow. We paid in full I told him just not to charge the soup. He looked into my eyes and said nothing. In addition, it requires us to pay cash, not Interac, we are in 2024. Never again will I go and eat there, very very unclean and a major cleaning should be done. The toilet is unisex and degelase. Very very messy and the door is black with dirt.
Delicious oriental food
Damage, The portions are generous, the service courteous, the taste exceptional for some dishes, but the salt and pepper squid is very disappointing, the breadcrumbs are raw or hard as a rock. If you are sensitive to MSG, they seem to use a lot of it. We had a lot of symptoms.
Very full plates and very affordable. I recommend it
Portions well served
Been coming here for over a decade, still a family favourite! The peanut butter chicken with fried spinach is outstanding.
Amazing food at great prices!
Unfortunately, payment is only made in cash... Extensive menu but a menu with the ingredients and not just the name would be appreciated.
The most efficient place I have seen! Cheap and good food, highly recommended.
Pros: food is good, price/quantity is also wonderful. Cons: I have been waiting for 2 hours for 2 general tao, the trip to Napierville/Chateauguay is way faster. They dont have debit/credit as a way of payment I wouldn t say no if the cooks could wear some gloves
Wow, the best General Tao on the South Shore of Montreal
Absolute feels!
Best general Tao in the province
Great food, generous portions and fair prices. You must try their Pad Thai and beef broccoli. Enjoy!
The general tao chicken is very generous (1 for 2 people)
Very good generous position and very good I will go back
Every time I go to Montreal. I like to stop here to eat. The owners are friendly, and the food & portions are great. Food
Great food ,well priced but even if we ordered 45 min in advance, we still had to wait 30 minutes more
Got awfully sick after eating thai chicken
House special fried rice and general Taos chicken are really good! Portions are good considering the price!
I am very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food was good, but the 45 minute wait was really long. However, the worst moment was during payment. The receptionist refused to let us leave because we didnt have enough cash for the tip, despite the fact that we had already left $7. She was very rude and haughty. I will never set foot in this establishment again. When you open a restaurant, you must first know how to be commercial and welcoming; the quality of the food comes second.
The portions are huge, the taste for me is wow, what a great discovery, the prices are good too. We dont go to this restaurant for the decor, but everything else, Im going to go back, special thanks to Felipe St Laurent for introducing us to the spot!
Correct restaurant and good portions, unfortunately do not warn that it is only cash..
Very generous portion that we can take home. The general tao is delicious. The wonton soup is ok.. I will definitely come back
Very tasty
Its good edt, but my expectations were higher.
Ive been going there for about fifteen years and always get the Shanghai beef noodles with satay sauce. Usually, we take the general tao or peanut butter chicken with it. You cant go wrong with these three choices.
Huge portions, but be prepared to wait more than 1 hour longer than the waiting time stated on the phone
Food is good. Service is horrible. Was told 20mins for a pick up ended up waiting 1hr!!!
Very good and you get what you pay for
Excellent food, huge portion, a very nice discovery
Excellent food and large portions.
Great! Very well eaten!
Wheelchair accessibility: Oui!! Food
Always eat well here, either to take away or eat in!! Excellent
The best place to eat, I love it
Excellent food, good value for money, service and very long waiting time, unwelcoming staff.
I believe in tipping, but the service and atmosphere did not merit more than 5%. For the owner, a tip is earned by and rewarded by the customer, not demanded by you because of your unwritten policy. The food was basic asian food. There was a lot of fat left on the meat and even chicken skin in the dishes. I wouldnt go back either way!
got the general tao huge portion for very good price i will b coming back!
Delicious meal
Foods great and the portions are big.
Called for a takeout and was told I had 1h wait. I saw a huge lineup, so I decided to wait until my hour was up! Dont ever do that cause I went in to pay, and thats when they put my order in, so I waited another hour... The food was delicious enough to have been worth the wait!
I called 1 hour in advance for a take-out order. He makes me wait 45 minutes more once I arrive. Finally, I have to cancel my order. Difficulty managing traffic...
Dirty place , bad service and definitely they should put some signs saying that they only take cash and that you must pay in advance. I really believe this place doesn t deserve the +4 stars it has
Mediocre food; Very salty won ton soup. general tao in a sweet sauce, lack of finesse. Too much breading, overcooked chicken containing cartilage. Steamed rice is overcooked so it has a puree texture. First time and last. Please note that this is cash only. Its 2024!
General tao just wow excellent wonton soup and several dishes look appetizing.
Great food! Fast service and always delicious
Excellent, kitchen seems very busy and lacks attention Vegetarian options: Several dishes offered Parking: 50 tons of space
Good morning. The food is excellent as always. I would recommend that you (at the restaurant) start using the anti-waste application toogoodtogo
Best Chinese food in the area by far. The service was quick and welcoming as well. The portions are huge. The prices are very good to what you are getting. Took the szechuanese noodles, the amazing seafood soup, the general tao and the beef with black been sauce. All amazing taste and good quality food. Recommend.
Wow! The best peanut sauce I have ever had! The dumplings are a must. All the sauces are really good. Big portions, low prices! We love it! Cash only.
Best peanut butter tofu in town!
Salt and pepper chicken was crispy and just the right amount of heat. Singapore noodles was ok and spring roll was greasy and unsatisfying.
Simply great
This place is always pacte when i go. No wondering why. Food is delighful and portion are generous. Owner alway smiling and friendly. Never get disappointed! Recommended!
Pick up , order ahead before pick up. There were line up already waiting for pick up. Big plate, fresh and tasty. They accept only cash.
Simply delicious.
very nice discovery! the general tao chicken is incredibly good. the portions are HUGE and it s really cheap. I recommend. on the other hand, they only take cash, so you have to plan ahead.
Refuses to serve us 30 minutes before closing
Worst service, terrible management, and I dont understand why they only accept cash. Very dirty dishes. I had a terrible discussion with the waitress and the manager. Not recommended!
Very good This is really excellent. I am very impressed with the quality of what I saw or tasted. It exceeds my expectations and I am really satisfied with this experience. I highly recommend this place or product to anyone looking for something truly exceptional.I recommend
V good food like it very much garlic fried shrimp spices tofu vegetables fried rice spring roll and sea food soup and shrimp thai style with vegetables lot and lot of food 6 people
Its good, very good, not too expensive but above all its abundant. Impossible to eat everything in 1 serving alone! Great, there are leftovers for the next day. The problem... is that they just take the $ cash, its not practical
The dishes are delicious. No payment by cards so cash only. Which helps the corner store haha.
Food is amazing sometimes and not so good at all other times. Chewy general tao tonight and shanghai noodles were not edible because they were way too spicy. And prices were once more reasonable.
One of my favorite restaurants for a good 10 years. Were more into fast food than fine dining, but that doesnt stop the dishes from being excellent with very generous portions at a more than reasonable price. The restaurant is very small so arrive early or even better if you can, get the meal to go.
Very good renowned place. Excellent food. But order by phone because restaurant take-out orders come after in-room and telephone orders, so its a 1-hour wait in the lobby on a Friday...
very nice discovery everything was delicious there
Very dirty!!!
Best Chinese takeout in the Montreal greater area! Literally, HANDS DOWN!!!! The ABSOLUTE best, no kidding. We are loyal customers and will continue to be its sooooo good! The porkchops are amazing, the peanut butter dumplings my favorite, their general tao to die for. You name it, they NAIL it ! Love Golden Bowl!! Must try: fried spinach ! Peanut butter dumplings!
Cant go wrong with the General Tao.
Best in the world
The Shanghai Noodle dish I ordered was delicious. The HUGE portion was off-putting. A group of 10 of us went for lunch 4 days ago. We all still have left-overs. The cooking area was very noisy. Opening hours are 11 - 20, seven days a week. Good for a Sunday afternoon when so many other places are closed. Ample, free parking. Cash only!!
Food too dirty.
Not bad but not great and its cash only
We love this place with my wife! We try to go every Friday, the food is delicious and the best general Tao and the garlic beef are the must try dishes! Great portions! Really big plates and full of food!
Food was delicious
Excellent food great portions very fast service very reasonable prices excellent price/value
First experience at Bol d or today and I was more than satisfied!! I cant wait to go back. Very courteous service and they are attentive. The food is incredibly good and the portions are more than generous. I highly recommend.
HUGE PORTIONS Humble little Chinese place. Only takes cash (so you know it s legit). Quiet and clean, Golden bowl is known for their General Tao s chicken. I also got an order of chow mein. There s a good amount of spice in the chow mein and I quite enjoyed it. General Tao was good, quite sweet with the sauce. Also comes with a large serving of rice. Chill vibes and an easy going place.
First but definitely not the last time. Too good, huge portion, worth the trip. Big plus, he strives to serve you in French, something that many restaurants dont take the trouble to do. Bring your money because it doesnt take debit/credit, but really wow place. Not the most beautiful but cuddly that we dont care after tasting
Quantity, quality, price... Its all there! A real gem of a restaurant. Call before going if you are taking take away, a very popular restaurant and there are often a lot of people. Im heading to Beloeil to pick up my meals and its definitely worth it.
Great service, smiling. Food in very large quantities, really very good!
Best Chinese food anywhere! Cash only, large portions, cozy. Good service, the best!!!
Does not accept any payment cards. In 2023, who are we laughing at here?
Excellent friendly service! Massive portion sizes for the price. Really enjoyed the general Tao chicken!
Best Chinese food
...I always found the food salt,greasy and tasteless......no matter what you ordered.. stopped going after several visits..portions are large..it can be spicy and hot if youre into that,,,but not much going on in the palate...i guess it appeals to a certain audience ...it is convenaint if u live in the area..i dunno...maybe time for the owner to taste what he is dishing out from the woks...it always felted crowded in there too...the tables are so close...its like you are eating at someone elses table...i dunno...the whole vibe is not relaxing...but i am just one person...i see it gets very good reviews...maybe its just me..
I ve been going here for years. Hands off best chinese food for reasonable price . Great food great portions .
Sooooo good! Restaurant that my husband introduced me to about ten years ago. Large portions for a reasonable price. Never disappointed! I highly recommend! Parking: Located in a small shopping lot, there is always parking.
Doesnt even deserve 1 star, my wife and my daughter we ate on Saturday and food poisoning for the three of us, our boy ate McDonalds and he is doing really well, really a shame but the kitchen wasnt great first and last time
The food was terrible. We had the Orange beef and General Tao chicken. The last 3-4 times that weve been eating there the food was ok, but this time everything was awful. Were not going there again.
I liked the Thai salad and the coconut chicken.
Small place with ordinary decor but generous, tasty food and at a reasonable price!! I have been coming to the place for 20 years
Honestly nothing special food is expensive for what it is terrible
A good experience...!
If only cards were accepted.
Ordered a padthai. Food was ready quickly, portion is big. When entered they told me to go to cashier to pay. Stood there for 5 minutes while the cashier was not there but chatting with someone else. Food has no salt. Pad thai is tasteless, no wonder why it was so quick, they didnt even put any peanuts or lime along with it
First time! Order to take away! Delicious!! Great discovery! The portions are huge! Dont forget your money. It only takes cash. I gave 3 stars for atmosphere, since it is a small restaurant with the kitchen open to the dining room.
The best in the area. 1 star less for counting only in 2023...
THE BEST GENERAL TAO OF ALL TIME!! YOUR CHICKEN IS VERY CRISPY WITH RED SAUCE!!! a tab***k treat, big portion cwst incredible.. 5 stars! You never eat bol dor, you never really eat general tao FINAL POINT
Well, were not going to this restaurant to impress our new conquest! Its a restaurant with absolutely no atmosphere and you dont have a good seat there. However, this restaurant offers a very varied menu, at great prices and generous quantities. Everything is tasty and you have a doggy bag for the next meal; guaranteed. The take-out is extremely popular (given the total lack of decoration and comfort of the furniture), but if you want tasty, affordable and quick dishes, this is undeniably a restaurant to favor. Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian dishes. Parking: This is a mini shopping center parking lot, so you can easily find a parking space.
Workers were very cold and borderline plain rude. The place is so dirty and we have no idea how it could possibly pass any inspection.
Excellent meal I find the additional charge of $1.50 in the fried rice for soy sauce exaggerated and if you dont ask, the rice is served all white.
In love with this place, everything is so good, big portions for the price, dwlisious and not greasy like some other fast chinese food. You can now eat inside if you wish. They have a big menu with your typical dishes like general tao or fried rice even some unique dishes too.
Horrible experience. Absolutely no service at all and they DEMANDED a tip. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!
One of the best general tao in québec, but the price?? It was barely 11$ in 2017 and now it s almost 20$. I understand inflation and cost of goods but doubling the price seems excessive.. and
They are adding dishes you are not asking for so that they can charge you more, and they dont take accountability for it
Experienced restaurant. Good food/value.
By far: The Best Szechuan Restaurant on the South Shore! Astronomical quantity (you have to be in good shape to eat it all in one meal), More than reasonable price, with excellent quality! I RECOMMEND: General Tao Chicken is Killer! Anyways, everything is very good I assure you!!! 5 STARS
Had beef sesame was all breading no beef. Very disappointed!!!
Quick service and more than generous portion. 2 dishes purchased makes 6 servings for my husband and me. Prices are reasonable too. They listen, you can ask that a dish marked spicy is not spicy, or is a little spicy. And that s appreciable.
Very very generous portion!! The meal was excellent !! Very affordable prices!!
Delicious salt and pepper wings, and the chefs rice is the best. The best combination, forever my favorite restaurant. The price is incredible
Good and generous portions
Wow super
Best restaurant fast service, generous and tasty portion, I recommend 100%
Cash only. They brought me the wrong dish and refused to change it. Large portions. Average food.
1 meal on site. Toilet room yark. Kitchen like full fat ceiling. Its good but when you eat there its totally disgusting
Fresh cooked before your eyes, always delicious!
Cashier run to me in the parking lot asking for some tips I never seen that before in my life I m gonna go again and don t give tips :)
