North Bowl Chinese Restaurant

Absolutely love this place. Usually just order spicy chicken fried rice and my husband gets the orange chicken but we are never disappointed with their food. It can be a bit messy if you order carry out with saucy entrees but does not change the taste or quality of the food.

I have been a patron of this restaurant for the past 14 years. I've seen a decline in the quality of the food, little by little over the past year or so. After today's lunch visit, I shall NOT eat here ever again. The wonton soup tasted like tepid dishwater, actually, dishwater with a bit of detergent would have had MORE flavor. The general's chicken was abysmal as well. The chicken pieces were bite size for a huge animal, but for human consumption you had to cut them down three times. However, don't be mislead by the past sentence. There was not a large quantity of chicken, rather the opposite. It's just that the quantity given was in non-bite sized pieces. When the first piece of that sauce coated chicken touched my tongue, I had the initial thought, warning.... somethings off. It only got worse once I actually started chewing. The meat was extremely fatty. When's the last time you came across fatty chicken? In 48 years, this is my first time! On a pleasant note, the order of egg rolls and the hot tea was delicious. The crab ragoon had a nice flavor with the combination of cream cheese and garlic salt but it was sans any crab. When I had to ask for my bill, the manager asked if I wanted a to go container. I thanked him politely and said no that you. The meal was horrible and I wouldn't want to eat it at any point. To which he responded, ok. When I went up to pay, I reiterated to the young man at the cash register that after coming there for 14 years, that was a horrible meal. He said, "Okay, I tell him". To which I responded, "And I shall not be back", he then smiled and said, "Okay, I will tell him that too". What a shame. It used to be a delight in the Northland.

Standard issue non-buffet Chinese restaurant. It's typical American-style Chinese food. The owner is actually from Vietnam, not China.
