Worst

Whatever any of the previous reviews say, this is not authentic Chinese food--and it is not particularly well executed fusion food, either. Also, my wine-by-the-glass tasted more ...

hot spot for all, esp(only) hot cougars 5/19/2010

This place for food is great. they havea gret luncheon menu and there are always plenety of people here. At night they turn the bar up, serving great drinks at reasonable(""Boston"") prices and with a DJ gets everyone happy, drinking and dancing. Was once known as place to get a false Fendi, Then a hot late-night spot for BU/BC kids. Now, in more recent times has turned to a hot spot for Cougars to play with all of the above. Dress nice, this isn't a cheap Chinese place, the interior is gorgeous. Only negative is many many times I have been there the servers are sleeping in the booths which creeps me out Pros: delish food, drinks, great prices Cons: workers sleep in the booths! more

Perfect pricey Chinese for the parents 3/12/2010

I love suggesting Golden Temple as a meet-up for when my parents come into town. While the food is delicious, I definitely wouldn't be able to afford it on my own. The service stands typical to the Asian stereotype... not exactly the best, but hey, as long as they're not spitting in my food, I guess I can't complain! The lounge is wicked cool, after a certain hour it's 21+ but try to check it out if you get there early. Pros: Americanized Chinese, lounge, food Cons: Service, pricey more

Solid chinese restaurant, bit over-priced 11/19/2009

I've been to Golden Temple half a dozen times over the past two years. I go because I can't find another option in the Newton/Brighton/Brookline area. I've tried several dishes and they're all pretty good, but a few dollars over-priced per menu item. The service leaves a lot to be desired as I've never encountered a friendly server. Pros: Taste Cons: Service, Price more

Worst Customer Service Sub Par Food 8/26/2009

I was very excited about ordering take out from Golden Temple because I had read good things about their food and was looking for a healthier option for Chinese food in my area. I sincerely regret ordering from Golden Temple. First they messed up my order sending two orders of egg rolls instead of the scallion pancakes we had ordered. When I called to inform them of their mistake they said they now saw they had accidently not charged us for another item we had ordered so they would bring us the scallion pancakes along with a new bill, including an additional charge for the item they hadn't charged us for originally. After getting over my shock at their horrible customer service and telling them not to bother coming back I tried the food that they had actually bothered to deliver to us. It was much less healthy than I anticipated, dripping with grease and overall just okay, nothing better than the local take out. It is very over priced for what it is. They need to actually offer a healthy product and decent customer service if they want continued business. Cons: Customer Service, Price, Food more

Not consistent on service and food quality as of recent times.. 1/13/2009

When the food is good IT IS GREAT, the unfortunate part is that doesn't always happen. Pros: When it is good it is great Cons: Less then good in service and food quality the last 7 months or so more

Extremely Rude 12/4/2008

I tried to talk to them about getting food for a university function (which would have been a considerable amount of money for them), but the person I talked to kept shouting the same question at me (refusing to listen to any reasonable explanations). I finally gave up and said I'd have to go elsewhere, which (the rude woman said) was fine with them. I have heard the food is good, but I won't brave venturing near them again. Cons: Unpleasant to deal with more

Rude 12/4/2008

I also tried to call to order delivery and encountered a shockingly rude person. I ended up ordering from Chef Chow's House on foodler, which was an infinitely more pleasant experience. Cons: Rude more

Very Rude 12/3/2008

I just tried to order delivery from them and spoke to an incredibly rude person. After being yelled at for five minutes, I finally had to hang up. No idea whether the food is good or not. more
