My first time back since 2006 and the food and service was A+++.
I had the same server who charged me an arm and a leg back in 2001. She was friendly, but this time I dare NOT request extra cabbage in my soup. LOL

The restaurant was clean for the most part except from the previous diners at another table. Their dishes were still sitting at the table the whole time we ate and I'm sure after we left. My table cloth had a stain on it, but I didn't say anything at all.

Overall, I will be returning. Good Food. Golden has redeemed itself.

Such friendly service at this Chinese restaurant.  It seems as though everyone who walks in the door knows "Charlie."  We came to this restaurant after hearing about it through our friends from Hawaii.  This place has cake noodle if you're looking for some!  I just wish that this place weren't so far away!!  Can you please open up another location in Seattle?  Seriously...there are no good Chinese restaurants in North Seattle after Doong Kong Lau closed.  :(

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant.  My family will not eat any other Chinese food!  We've never had a problem with the waitstaff and they have always been polite and served us quickly.   The chef has come out to greet us and make sure we are happy with the food.  

We love the Deep Fried Almond Chicken and Mongolian Beef!  I highly recommend this restaurant!!

I think the Golden House and the Beijing Gardens in Everett have the best tasting Chinese food anywhere that can be found between the Canadian Border and Seattle.  I've been here maybe five times for lunch and the food is most excellent! The only reason I docked a point was because of the substantially higher prices at dinner and the sometime spotty service.

The lunch specials prices are excellent.  The dinner prices are a bit less of a bargain.

This place reeks mediocre. What is said about the waitstaff is completely true. I've given this place 3 chances over the years to impress me, but it never has. The waiters will often sit around together and ignore customers. I guess they are family and I guess they don't care too much about making money either.

To discuss the food it is far from amazing. In fact it is quite bad. When a place doesn't even know how to make white rice properly, you know they have problems. If you like your Chinese food more on the bland and unimaginative side (while lacking traditional flavor). I'd say come to Golden House that quaint little eyesore of the Mukilteo Speedway.

Golden House is the BEST in the Northend.  The prices are a little high but definately worth it.  I don't care for Mongolan Beef but my friends tell me it's the best they've ever had.  Tender beef..now that's a change from what you usually pay for.  I love the Prawns Dim Sum..hugh Prawns steamed with cabbage.  Mu Shu Pork is another fav.  Rolled up with all kinds of veggies in thin rice wrappers with plum sauce...yumoooo.  I have never found the wait staff to be sluggish.  It even appears to me that they take the time to learn many peoples names.  Either they have a lot of returning customers (which speaks volumes) or they just know everyone that comes in by name..not sure which but it's impressive.  OH ..on last must have...try the Crab Meat Dumpling's...crab meat and cream cheese deep fried in thinnest Won--Ton Wrappers you've ever had.  That just made my squirters go squirt...ummmmmm good.

The Golden House Chinese restaurant is very good with a formal menu, a wide variety of good Chinese food and good service.   I eat there often alone and with friends.  The restaurant is managed by a Chinese family whom I think provide good, attentive service. The restaurant serves traditional Chinese food at reasonable prices. Wine and bear are available. Adequate parking on site. The atmosphere is average. Location:  In Mukilteo near corner of Mukilteo Speedway and south entrance to Harbour Point on the west side of the street -- white building with red trim. Curbside appearance is average.

Three stars instead of four because I only had one item, the Broccoli Beef Noodle Cake for $8.95++.

The "noodle cake" is your typical Cantonese pan fried noodles, crispy on both sides, except here they cut up the noodles to form a "cake", but that's just the literal translation.  The noodle soon became soggy with the sauce, but it was still good.  And the beef was tender and well seasoned, and marinated deliciously.  

For us, group of 6 adults and one infant, we were treated very well, tea and water refilled quickly and the chef actually came out to check on our responses on the food quality.

My only gripe would be for them not to use stryofoam boxes.

This was my 5th dinner visit and it was horrible.  First off, ordered the family dinner for three (4 of us were dining and that is too much food).  When the chicken chow mein was brought out, the entire contents of the dish were without any color!  Zero flavoring was added to the chow mein.  What was most amazing is we've eaten this dish many times and it was never prepared this way AND the server didn't take notice of it at all.  Sweet and sour pork had no green peppers at all (usually has some, along with the pineapple) and the pork was very tough to chew.  BBQ Pork was delicious, Almond Chicken was average, Pork Fried Rice was very, very greasy, but otherwise flavorful.  When we received our bill, they decided to charge us for four (an extra $12.95) rather than the three we ordered for, and then also charged us $.50 more per drink than what was stated on the menu.  We probably should have said something, but we rarely do because there are so many people out there that complain solely to get items for free, and we can't stand to watch that in an eating establishment.  Overcharging by $15 on a dinner bill is inexusable and we will NEVER return to their establishment.  That would be considered theft if a patron did that in a restaurant!

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant.  The service is usually fast and friendly, and they have the best General Tso's Chicken I've ever had.  I'm also addicted to their hot n sour soup.  This is a family run business, so it's very personal and warm.  My husband loves their Almond Fried Chicken.  They offer dinner combinations that are set, and they will also do a dinner combination using any item on their menu, which I think is really nice.  They will do substitutions without a problem.  This is a good place for family dining.
