Very good food at a good price. The hot and sour soup is great. I've had many of the dishes and liked everything - except for the orange beef, which was really weird. Maybe it was an off day.

We went here tonight because of its four star rating on Yelp. How it got that is a mystery to me. It wasn't terrible or anything, but one of the best Chinese restaurants in the valley? Really? The dressing on the Chinese chicken salad was overly sweet, probably a bottled dressing bought in bulk, with sugar added. The fish dish had a bit of a funny taste, like other dishes that had been made in the same pan, and the garlic sauce didn't have much of a garlic taste. The chicken had too much corn starch in the sauce, making it taste almost like it was breaded. On the plus side, the soup was good, the service friendly and attentive. Basically this is a solidly average, garden variety Chinese joint, with well priced food. But nothing to recommend or drive across town for.

I came here and ordered the pre-set menu for two with egg rolls, sweet and sour pork, fried rice, beef and brocolli, and wonton soup.Honestly, everything was below average except for the sweet and sour pork.PROSBest sweet and sour pork I've had in a long time. The crisp on the outside complements the texture of the pork perfectly. These came out perfectly cooked and I was impressed.CONSEverything else, from food to service. The food was not terrible, but it definitely does not deserve four or five stars. The egg rolls were over fried and bland in particular.The service was underwhelming too. Walking in, I made eye contact with the lady behind the counter across the room and waited for her direction. She looked at me, and then looked away back at the menus she was organizing. Then 10 seconds later, she looked back up at me again, and then looked away again. After another five seconds where she finished her organization of menus, she waved me over to a table--all without a hello or real acknowlegement.2/5 stars--definitely not coming back

Honey walnut prawns, sesame chicken, westlake beef soup. Yum.

Love it!!!

lunch special #24 is all i have to say...

After going here several times since, I have to up my review to 5 stars. It's not perfect -- not every dish we've eaten has been 5 star quality. The mongolian beef in particular isn't all that great -- the beef is a little chewy. However, generally speaking, you get great quality and great quantity for low prices. You can't beat that. And the customer service is superior to every other Chinese food restaurant I've ever been to. I highly recommend this place. (BTW they give you a ton of awesome chinese chicken salad and hot and sour soup if you get it to go... just make sure you tell them to keep the dressing on the side. But for ~$12, just those two things can feed a family of 4. I'm not kidding.)

Hands down, the BEST Chinese food in San Jose! I have been looking for a great Chinese restaurant around, and I FINALLY found it! I ordered the Mongolian Beef and Mu Shu Shrimp and both were delicious! And the customer service by the employees were very warm and kind!

We love this place. We have lived in the neighborhood for 8 years and Golden House has never disappointed. The portions are great, the price very reasonable, and we can count on their good service and fresh, tasty food.I recently brought a friend here who had never been and she was also very happy with her GH experience. We ordered the dinner combo and there was so much food leftover, we both took baggies home, and we ate a lot at dinner!I hope this little restaurant continues to be reliable because I need my Chinese food fix on a regular basis!

This a good place. Its not a fancy place, but clean and kept up nice. We frequent Golden house almost every week.Great service, Ive never had a bad meal, and the prices are just right. What more could you ask for?

I had Kung pao with egg fried rice. The service was good and the food was amazing. Would definitely come back again.

This is the kind of restaurant that the locals love, and folks drive out of their way to enjoy it too. You'll find lots of customers any time of day, but you'll almost always be greeted and seated immediately. The ownership changed a few years ago and so did the quality of the food and the service--for the better! We love that we can order favorites like garlic eggplant, that isn't on the written menu. The kids and I are hooked on the combination rice, loaded with shrimp, pork, chicken, and lots of veggies. The Hot & Sour soup is killer as well as the Mongolian Beef. The wait staff remembers you from your last visit and is very attentive--and friendly.

This place rocks!....now. I say now because 6-8 years ago (give or take) I went here and was dissapointed because the food didn't seem fresh and for what you got I didn't see the value. BUT NOOOOW...I don't know what happened; maybe a new chef or new ownership. This place is definitely the spot to go for the lunch scene. Always busy and great lunch deals. One of my favorites is any dish with black bean sauce so the fish with black bean sauce tops my list! The prices are really fair and the fried rice (from someone who doesn't really like fried rice) is really tasty.The staff is super friendly and the place is pretty clean. The location is a little older but the crew at Golden House does a good job with the upkeep. The only thing I have found to not like very much was the Schezuan shrimp. It was masked by a lot of batter and it has tasted 'fishy' more than once.Overall 99% of everything I've had has been great...oh and they will even let you get the lunch special for dinner for a buck or two more...still better than most!

This place makes me happy. Great service, AMAZINGLY GOOD FOOD.Ive been going here for 18 years of my life and i always reccomend golden house

The service is good. Nice people.Unfortunately the food has no flavor. I saw the great reviews and tried it first fail for yelp for me.I tried their wonton soup. NO flavor at all I was really plain they also like to put a lot of celery in their food.Even then tho because of their review I went back and tried their cashew chicken. First BOILING hot in the to go box. Second plain tasting with,you guessed it, a lot of celery.Definitely not gonna go back.Don't do this to me again yelp.

The food was fu kee'ing excellent! A tad bit pricey for a cafeteria style setup but the extra price is worth paying for quality Chinese meal.?
