Golden House Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Mukilteo

If I could put no stars I would... First off there are no "American meals" offered for someone in the dinning party (like a child) that doesn't or wasn't in the mood for what they had. When I asked about it the guy looked at me like I was crazy! Second. Why would lunch items have soup and rice and dinner items not?? Kind of backwards if you ask me. Third. The fried rice was extremely bland. My rice had a couple pieces of pork in it. My husband's had a lot and my son's had none. Fourth. Portions for lunch items were very small! Fifth. Our meals did not come out at the same time. Sixth. I had Mongolian chicken and there were more onions than chicken! There was so much sauce that my "crispy rice noodles" were soggy... When the guy brought us water he just put 2 pitchers of ice water on the table like it was to much to pour it in our glasses. Not only that they were set away from the majority of those at the table. Don't expect to pay with a debit/credit card they over charge with their "fee" to use it. Seems like they want you to pay in cash so it doesn't all have to be reported. The hallway to the restrooms were cluttered with tables and items that should have been in a storage room. We were there right after they opened and when I went into the bathroom the light switch was filthy and the toilet paper was out. Men's room was not very clean either. I had high hopes for this place but was extremely disappointed and will never be back. Oh and the menus were just sitting on the table in a stack. They looked like...

I really do love the resturant, they have good food, great portions and it's nice to be able to get good food without feeling like you broke the bank. I usually order takeout but decided to eat in person this time. I am honestly disappointed on how some service was handled by one of the staff. The miscommunication between me and the staff was that I thought they heard me order mandarin chicken but they thought I said lemon chicken. We both affirmed to thinking that the order placed was correct. Obviously I was surprised to see what was brought out so I asked if it was mandarin chicken or not since it didn't look how it usually did. When I brought up to the staff that there may have been a miscommunication they didn't handle it well. They were immediately dismissive of what I was trying to communicate to them and I can tell they were trying to be in the right by saying that since they affirmed my order with me that it's what I got. We both misunderstood each other and that happens, but I just wanna say is that all I was trying to do is ask a question and figure out what was miscommunicated. I didn't raise my voice or come off aggressively in any way so please please please don't be unfriendly and dismiss your customers so easily. It makes people not feel welcome in your establishment. I certainly was not in the best of moods the rest of dinner because of that...

This place has huge portions, super tasty food, great prices, and friendly customer service!!! We ordered 2 of the Single Dinners - #1 & #2. They include 6 different food options with each dinner... all of the very best kinds! My meal came with wonton soup, BBQ pork, deep fried almond chicken, deep fried prawns, chicken chow mein, and pork fried rice. They give you the gravy for the almond chicken separately, so it is nice and crispy when you eat it. The portions are all good sized, and I was quickly over-stuffed in the very best way. My only wish is that the pork fried rice had peas and carrots in it... It doesn't. But it is still pretty tasty. They allowed us to swap the type of soup in my husband's meal, no questions asked! They give you generous helpings of sweet & sour sauce, HOT mustard, and gravy... Plus they throw in multiple fortune cookies, as a "thank you". We gave the leftover food to our boys, and they went on and on about how delicious it was! THIS is the Chinese restaurant you want to go to - TRUST ME. Other local places don't compare in portions, price,...
