What lockandgo likes about Bolsa Restaurant:
This is a small Asian restaurant which is family owned and operated.. They want to ensure you have a great eating experience. The wife/cook checks on how your enjoy your meal a couple times while the husband takes orders and visits with patrons. The place could use an upgrade or at the least a paint job,,,,,,,,,,,,but all is forgiven when you can have a great meal...which we did. Highly recommended! View all feedback. What Mark Walsh doesn't like about Bolsa Restaurant:
My food was bad, the spring rolls had no flavour and were full of grease. The worst part of the experience was getting harassed by the owner when I was honest with her when she asked if I liked my meal. She would not let up on trying to convince me that the problem was not with the food but with my tastes. She kept trying to convince me to order something different next time. Believe me, there will NOT be a next time... View all feedback.
