Golden House Chinese Restaurant in Roslindale — Restaurant in Boston

TL;DR: 6/5 stars. A no-frills Chinese takeout joint serving up all the comforting classics that'll make the kid in you grin. Ignore any negative reviews.

In 2024 it's virtually impossible to find in Boston: Good takeout like you remembered growing up -- and it makes sense; burnout and turnover in kitchens is at an all time high -- but then there's Golden House: As gleaming as its name suggests, glinting out of a narrow storefront in shining letters, is everything you've been searching for! The Holy Grail, finally some dang good food. I could recommend a bunch of dishes, but that kind of defeats the purpose. It's all good, maybe better than you've had before. Just politely order whatever you crave from the wonderfully charming cashier and wait patiently. Maybe introduce yourself to whoever else might be in line and ask them about their day, as you'll probably run into each other again when you come back for more. A few minutes later you'll have exactly what you asked for and no regrets. Just whatever you do, don't forget to bring cash!

And to the ownership, cashier and kitchen staff: If you're reading this, keep on rockin' and never lose that passion. You're a cut...

My husband and I were just praising this place after visiting twice before in person but then tonight we ordered online without being in the store & the woman who told me to call to make sure she got my order correct started a fight with me over four beef teriyaki. I had no idea the re was a difference between beef teriyaki/banana and beef teriyaki. So you’re telling me I paid $15 for four beef teriyaki and a plantain cut into 12 slices that my kids won’t even touch? That’s crazy! My kids don’t eat that kinda stuff. I spent $130 and then gave a five dollar tip on top of it. My husband picked it up And brought it home. When he got home and I noticed it was wrong, I called to let her know because obviously the website is confusing when you’re not familiar with their items and this woman has the nerve to say to me give her two more dollars the next time I come in and she’ll give me four beef teriyaki! How about you...

Much better than mandarin house And they give you more meat in the chicken low mein

I brought it home, added soy, sriracha & honey👌🏽 shit SLAPS Lil sweet lil heat lil savory-perfect umami - wish it had some ginger but still dank

You should make a sweet and spicy chicken low mein with siracha honey soy and ginger that you just add at the end…the ginger should be pan fried a little before with the noodles but you can just add the rest after I will be eating there again

Update 5/1/2025

I only eat here like every 2 days.

Solid portions. Good flavor. Cooked properly. Competitive prices.

Did a small chicken low mein $3 extra chicken with jumbo fried shrimp and small side of chicken teriyaki $29. I ate 1/4 of it and im full—and I usually can eat a ton. That $29 is easily 3-4 meals....
