I love this restaurant so much - their food is so delicious and service is very friendly. Definitely in my top 3 Tucson restaurants. I go here for the vegetarian and vegan options - they have a lot of great house-made faux meats. I often get the "chicken" chow mein with crispy pan fried noodles - a childhood comfort food for me that actually tastes better than I remember from my childhood. Lots of veggies in addition to the faux chicken. Egg rolls and soups are great too. My husband has gotten Mapo Tofu (meat-based) and says its the best he's ever had. read more

2.5... the food tastes great and the service was 5 stars but I'm so disappointed as I got home and opened it up to find very small portions of meat for $15 entrees. I would've taken a photo but my kids dig into it immediately. Sad as I normally get 2 meals to feed myself and my 2 kids but tonight will be letting them split it as it's not enough. I won't return for that reason as there are lots more options. read more

Another update! Today we went nuts and ordered the Meat Combo Appetizer AND our own entrees. The appetizer was so much fun: 2 Egg Rolls, 2 Crab Puffs, 2 Shrimp Tempura, 2 Beef Kabobs, 2 BBQ Ribs. The egg rolls are huge, crispy, and not the least bit greasy. The shrimp tempura is light and crisp. The beef kabobs are well flavored and cooked crispy, which is an interesting and yummy presentation, The ribs are large and flavorful. The crab puffs are amazing! We could have eaten ten of them; a crisp outside is stuffed with a melting cheesy crab mixture. Divine! House -made Chinese mustard (so good and really clears out the sinuses!) and sweet dipping sauces completed the appetizers. I've reviewed our entrees before and they are as delicious as always. I had the Three Delight Moo Shu, a platter filled with fresh vegetables, shrimp, and chicken; accompanied by sauce (hoisin?) and rice pancakes. I enjoy making my little "burrito" bites! My dining friend had the Mongolian Three Delight; shrimp, chicken, and beef prepared with at least three kinds of onions and a mildly spicy sauce, and a large bowl of rice. My friend has a spice-loving palate, and was brought a bowl of hot chili sauce. Visible pepper flakes floated in the sauce and it was pronounced perfect. I love being greeted by name and the food is scrumptious. Golden House is immaculate throughout and it is a pleasure to visit and enjoy their food. See you next month, Ming! read more

BROWN RICE lives here, YAY! AND no upcharge to swap for white, already grabbing points here! Golden House also touts No MSG too if that bothers you. (ramen, Doritos occasionally and hidden in so many other seasonings, it's overly criticized, and did you know, made from natural ingredients molasses, sugar beets, starch & sugar) . 2 std dishes Kung Pao Chicken $14.95 and Beef Snow Peas $16.95 were both tasty. KP was a tad too sweet and would make that adjustment in future, had mid level heat as served-- overall 4/5 hubby enjoyed. Snow Peas were a bit tough, chewy vs tender and snappy. Maybe a parboil to tenderize before quick wok hit ? and velveted beef had decent texture and flavor 3.75/5 a bit chewy and garlicky brown sauce aok. Portions are fair, you may have leftovers if you aren't really hungry but hubby easily ate his KP but only 1/3 of a heaped rice bowl. $3.50 for a small single pot of black tea (oolong?) was a bit stee, they got too busy to ask for more H20, but the free upgrade on brown rice more than makes par haha Overall a 3.8/5 for flavor and quality, Golden House is good. But still searching for a Go-to on SE side... Chef Wang still shines brighter for us: authenticity, wok hei, fresh bamboo shoots, tofu skin wraps, clay pot with Chinese dried mushrooms, variety on menu... although, alas no brown rice :/ Thankful though for this family Chinese restaurant, a quickly iconic mainstay of US dining, nearing extinction in many towns. So truly am thankful for GH preparations today! read more

Absolutely one of the better American Chinese restaurants in Tucson. Located on the east side, Golden House has an extensive menu available for both in-house and takeout dining. Table service is friendly and efficient but a lot their business seems to be takeout. We have frequently done both and in all occasions the meals have been exceptional. They advertise "healthy Chinese Food" and indeed their menu of over 100 items offers many fresh, healthy choices. I especially appreciated the brown rice and low sodium options. read more

SO incredibly grateful to have somewhere to eat close by that's not only local but has TONS of gluten free options. I truly feel normal eating here having celiac. The food is amazing and the staff / owners are genuinely so kind. My husband and I just love this place, we eat here a lot! My favorite is the gf chicken fried rice and he just loves the gf orange chicken! So crispy and yummy! read more

Golden House - More cabbage than chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Possibly my favorite Chinese restaurant in Tucson! Favorite dish: Spicy Salt Fish. Everything I have tried is delicious. They give you those deep fried wonton strips like back in the 80's, too. I will say they don't have a lot of competition, unfortunately, since most of the Chinese on the East side is sub par. I haven't been to the West or South Tucson. I do like Old Peking for food from a fully different area of China. Especially if you're in the mood for duck. read more

While I have reviewed this place before, Yelp is asking me for another, or possibly replacement review. Ming, the owner, used to work at Guilin Chinese restaurant on Grant Road before they close down nearly 10 years ago. We followed her when she opened up golden house shortly after. In addition to having amazing tasting food, Ming is just the friendliest and most welcoming person we have ever encountered at a restaurant. She has watched our kids grow up over the years, and always asks us how they are doing. Truly, she is a beautiful human being! read more

The food was so good I don't usually eat that much but I basically finished all of it. The portions weren't crazy big they were pretty average. The service was really great as well they attended to me quickly the food came out pretty fast. Great place to eat. Thank you ! read more

Golden House - Fried rice, orange chicken, lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I placed a large to-go order on Christmas Eve, and when I got home I realized they forgot to include one of my meals so I had to drive all the way back. I was not pleased. The food was just okay. The General Tso's chicken was pretty bland. The sweet & sour chicken was good, the mongolian chicken barely had any chicken in it, and the sesame tofu was good. read more

Solid Chinese food here. Service is very friendly and fast. Small restaurant with inside seating. Will definitely return. I haven't found better Chinese in all of Tucson. Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Chicken Lo Mein, house fried rice, and egg rolls were what we ordered for our group of 3 and we had leftovers. read more

The Food was not up to quality. Meat was tough on my Mongolian Beef. Had a real time chewing and Hot and Sour Soup was Awful.

Great little place! The service is amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh and well prepared. Our favorite was the lo mein with chicken. Delicious flavor and generous portions read more

The food was good. I had Sweet and Sour chicken and my husband had same, only pork. Meat was fried perfect and serving sizes were plentiful. We each took half home. The device was good. Very friendly waitress and on top of everything. Overall I would have given a 4 but the ambiance was very dated and I wasn't sure how clean it was. I didn't go to the restroom because I didn't want to find an old, unclean restroom as it would have ruined my dinner. That being said, it was a Monday night and it was full of families. Price was pretty good. read more

I was in the area and as usual, craving Chinese food. Neighbors on Next Door mentioned this place, so I came in. Small place, clean and friendly. I ordered shrimp lw/vegetables. It was very tasty, egg drop soup was good. I was served some crispy noodles to munch on as well. Everything was delicious, fresh and served piping hot. Lunch special prices are very reasonable. I will be back to try other dishes. If that passes, I go on to the next. Way to go, Golden House. You are truly golden! read more

This is the best and freshest ! Their food and service is spot on and so good! My new fav!

We went to this place while visiting with family. I got the dumplings, wonton soup and mu shu pork. The dumplings were strange-the wrapper was dry. Tasty inside. I expected either steamed or fried so the outside texture was a bit off-putting. I got a small wonton soup with chicken and it was a very small bowl-1 wonton, 1 piece of chicken. The mu shu pork was good! I liked this place because they could accommodate my request for no garlic or onion. My husband got sweet and sour soup which was actually half egg drop and half sweet and sour because he didn't want it spicy. He said it was good. He got shrimp mu shu which he didn't like-he didn't like the shrimp as the mu shu so it was more of a personal dislike, not that the dish wasn't cooked well. read more

This is a small restaurant within a strip mall. But don't let that stop you! The service was amazing. Staff was quick to refill drinks. They were not overly attentive but kept a watch. When we were done eating, we didn't have to wait for someone to offer take home containers and the bill which was really nice. The best part was the fantastic food. My daughter and I both ordered the orange chicken. This chicken was nothing like I was expecting. It was better! My mom ordered sweet and sour shrimp. She absolutely loved it. We live in Alaska but will definitely be back before we head home. read more

Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! The service was great and atmosphere welcoming. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back again--soon!! read more

This is a great restaurant! We love their lunch specials. The lunch specials come with soup, appetizer, rice and your entree. My husband usually doesn't care for Chinese but loves their Moo Goo Gai Pan. We don't have large appetites so we can make the lunch special last for lunch and dinner. read more

Great Chinese food for dine in or carry out. Vegan and gluten free options. Service is awesome. This is our go to place for chinese food.

This is a follow up to last time. Unfortunately things have gone down the hill. How would I know when we sat down that the best thing on the table would be the commercial sweet and sour sauce. Since they have Pepsi products on the fountain machine we asked for two cans of Diet Coke out of the cooler up front. One sip of that drink tasted awful and a check of the expiration date showed it expired in July 2021. It is December 2022. No wonder it was bad. We sent them back and watched them pull all the rest out of the cooler. We got some water with lemon instead. We ordered a lot of things because we plan to have leftovers but that would not have worked out tonight. I asked for a cup of the hot and sour soup. A staple of these restaurants. They brought me the tiniest of cups for $3.99. A slight white pepper taste in an otherwise bland gooey broth. Fail. We also ordered the Ma Bo tofu, beef chop suey, Mongolian chicken, and garlic eggplant. Each was particularly unacceptable in its own way, bland, washed out, flavorless. If portions were ever larger tonight they were sized for little girls and old women. I could write more in detail but, really, why bother. It pains me to say this but I can no longer recommend this place. We won't be back for a long long time. One other thing. If you use a credit card, you get to pay a $0.50 fee. Oh joy. Our server was very nice and polite. If there is in Tucson a restaurant that can still reliably deliver excellent standard Americanized Cantonese Chinese food, please let me know. read more

Golden House - Chicken and broccoli. This was the full plate serving at$10.95. Think this a bit small. - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Wow, this place is soooo good! Tonight, we got the Mongolian vegan chicken, vegan sesame chicken, shrimp lo mein, crab puffs, and veggie drumsticks. The Mongolian fish smelled like it came straight off the grill. It was so delicious and spicy just like we asked for it! No oily like most places. The sesame dish was amazing, crispy on the outside and soft inside, not overly sweet. Best crab puffs I have ever had! The young man at the front was so sweet and helped me with options! They had the most beautiful trees inside as well. I really really wish I lived closer to this place. I would go all the time. The service is great and so is the food! You have to try it! read more

Excellent food, service, and felt like a small family restaurant with very fresh, healthy Chinese food. Seemed very clean. Plus they can make almost everything gluten free! I'm celiac and they were careful to make sure all things at our table were gluten free. The service was amazing. Loved the quaint feel inside too. If we lived in Tucson we would eat here all of the time. Luckily we are only 2 hours away and it was so delicious we could easily make a day trip or weekend trip to enjoy it. Yes, that's how great it was! We ordered the orange chicken, Mongolian chicken, and shrimp fried rice. read more

This place boasts of serving up "healthy Chinese food" and they hold true to their promise. I called in to order takeout and the woman who answered the phone was so helpful. Told me about a few beef entrees, and I ended up with the beef with triple mushroom. SO good with bright, crunchy vegetables throughout a garlic sauce. Truly excellent. I also opted for a standby, kung pao chicken, which was outstanding. For a $3.50 up charge I tried the fried rice and it was also spot on. The vegetable egg rolls were perfectly cooked and flavorful - soft on the inside and crispy outside. It's my new favorite spot for Chinese food. read more

We would give this place 10 stars if we could. What a stand out! It's not a date night atmosphere, (don't be turned off by exterior of building either) but you cannot beat the freshness, quality and selection of the food options and the service was kind, attentive but not smothering-excellent. The wide variety of entree choices offer something for everyone, are generous portions, and have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. It was truly the best Chinese food I've had in quite a while, anywhere. Cannot recommend more highly. read more

In my previous review, I gave Golden House a very low score, but that was from many years ago when they had different management. These days, this restaurant actually stays true to their claim regarding "healthy Chinese food." They are probably one of the few Chinese restaurants in town that allows substitution to brown rice (whole grain) instead of white rice, even for fried rice. The major drawback to this is that they're slightly more expensive compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area, (I've not had a bill less than $50 for 2 people.) However, all the staff are really nice and with their menu, they really have something for everyone. One of the favorites is definitely the walnut shrimp, only here at Golden House that I've it with pineapples! The house fried rice substituted with brown rice is filling and yummy. They also have good vegan and vegetarian options. I'm glad things have changed, and I'm happy to update my review. Golden House is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the Eastside of Tucson. read more

They are very very busy. The staff is wonderful, food is reasonably fast. The staff knows the regulars and is knowledgeable about their orders and knows them by name. I would love to live in the area to know this place better. 10/10 Egg rolls are very good, rice, and tempura the same. They only have 2 egg rolls- chicken and "original". They have a lot of people ordering out, so the place will appear busy, but it's great to have a seat and check it out! read more

Golden house came so highly recommended to us, and I was so excited to try their food, as they will make any dish gluten free upon request! Not only is their service extremely quick, but they are incredibly friendly, offer large helpings in their dishes and are so aware and respectful of diet restrictions. I love ordering takeout for myself when I am putting in long hours in the studio, because I can get about three meals out of one order of Mongolian Beef! The vegetables have always been bright and fresh, the soup, rice and meats always so full of delicious flavor and cooked to perfection. When we stopped in for lunch, we were given top-notch service by the friendly wait staff, and I even received kind reminders about which items I needed to avoid, once they knew I was ordering gluten-free! I will always feel safe eating here, thanks to that! read more

This place is the best value in Chinese food in Tucson. We went for lunch, I had the Kung Pao Chicken. It was only $9.99, plus you get soup and an egg roll! Large helping, and the taste was great. My wife had Moo Goo Gai Pan (sic) and loved it. We don't have great Chinese food where we live, so while visiting Tucson we pulled up Yelp and found this place. You will not be disappointed, and you won't empty your wallet. Go now!!! (I wish I had taken a photo of my food before I devoured it, but I was hungry.) read more
