Though the place was large and relatively spacious, the restaurant was almost full and also loud, really loud, and we found it difficult to hear each other over the noise of other patrons dining at their respective round tables. The decor was sparse and simple, with pastel green walls and a generally green coloring to the whole restaurant.
The food was quite delicious, although we made careful effort not to order too many items (particularly deep fried dishes), so we didn't taste the entire spectrum of what was available. Their selection, however, was quite extensive, and definitely better than Cha for Tea's. Of note were their stewed chicken's feet, which was very tender and very "meaty," and their Chinese mustard greens, or yau choi, which was very fresh and not greasy in the least. It was perfectly cooked and I couldn't stop eating it.
Our tea server/bill collector person was quite hard to track down, which frustrated us a little and caused my mom to have to get up out of her chair and hunt them down in order to settle our bill. My mom paid, so I can't tell you if the prices were fantastic or not.
However, as an overall experience we thought Golden Rice Bowl was a lot better than we had expected, and their variety of dim sum dishes definitely impressed us. If Dynasty Restaurant is ever full and driving to Century Palace would take you too long, I would recommend Golden Rice Bowl as the third option for your weekend dim sum dining.
