My sister ordered from this place before years ago and thought it was just okay. We decided to get…read moretake out from here last night and it was some of the best Americanized Chinese food I could find in Massachusetts! Ever since I moved to Boston I had been on the hunt for shrimp lo mein and shrimp with broccoli. Two of my favorite dishes I used to get in CT. It is hard to find good Americanized Chinese food in Boston, but there is plenty of good authentic Chinese. The lo mein was delicious, they use the egg noodles which for some reason very very few places in MA do. The shrimp and broccoli was cooked perfectly, broccoli was crunchy and shrimp was fresh. Ask for brown sauce instead of white sauce! We ordered a bunch of other dishes, general tso's chicken, chicken and mixed veggies, chicken fried rice etc. I personally didn't try any of those cause I was way too stuffed but heard good feedback about them. Going to be my go to place every time I'm in Dedham!

Chicken Wings, BBQ Spare Ribs, Shrimp Fried Rice, Crab Rangoons & Eggroll!!! Always Great Food!

I was apprehensive ordering from here because my go-to Asian places are usually those which serve…read moreSichuan cuisine. But it was a a rainy day and I really wanted some hot soup nearby. Along came golden house. We opted for the hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, and the veggie fried rice. The soup also came with packets of crunchy noodles to top it with (a nice touch!). The hot and sour soup was the tastiest of the lot. It had tofu, wood ear mushrooms, and other veggies. It wasn't really that sour, so I added vinegar to it. After that, it was perfect! The egg drop soup was true to its name, lots of egg, very comforting. With both soups though, it was quite thick and a little salty so we had to dilute them a bit, but that's easy enough. The veggie fried rice was...unexpected. The rice was yellow and also had large chunks of broccoli! It tasted fine but didn't feel like fried rice. Overall, this is a solid choice for when I want soup next time!

Gotta downgrade them from my previous 4 stars to 3-- and 3 might be generous. Some highs and lows…read moreover my last 3 visits, but way too many lows to ignore, even as a former fan and defender. -- Spareribs: Until the past year or so, I regarded Tahiti's spareribs as top 5, maybe even top 3. No longer. The last 3 attempts have all been reheats and all looking like a scattering of random bones from different racks, with charring the only strongpoint. Some were close to cold and some were tough to chew. On average: Average, but formerly elite. -- Egg Roll: A rollercoaster of quality on my recent visits. Narrower than before, but reliably celery-filled and crunchy inside. The shell is sometimes crispy, sometimes bendy, as if sitting around a while. Interiors sometimes moist, sometimes very dry. Flavor has been above average every time. Overall, above average to well above average, though formerly near-elite. -- Lobster Sauce: I've liked the relatively new recipe that's less like motor oil and more on the light side with whole black beans in the mix. But the most recent one was bland and watery. Still good enough to be average, but formerly near-elite. -- Sweet and Sour Chicken: Fingers merely flirting with crisp and typically low meat-to-batter ratio. Unusual topping of onions, peppers, pineapples, and no cherries, with a sauce that seemed an exact compromise/blend of the typical golden and red styles. Sour along with the sweet, but subtle. A little above average. -- Pork Fried Rice: Among my 3 recent visits, solid once, disappointing twice. Fresh once and long in the tooth twice, and varying levels of bland all 3 times. Minimal pork nuggetry. Typically lukewarm. Overall, average, but formerly near-elite. -- Orange Beef: Nice mix of sweet and tart (caramelly along with the orange), good crunch, and good quantity and thickness of the tender beef slices. Very solid dish, and it even rivals Bernard's version, which is saying a lot. A rare bright spot among recent visits. Seems like this place is mailing it in lately, as if they're knowingly cutting corners and sacrificing repeat dining business because their real money comes from the bar. It's a shame, because I used to be a big fan.

Did a lunch visit with a friend, going our own way with lunch combos and adding a couple of full-order appetizers. -- Spareribs on the Bone: St Louis cut ribs with ruby red glaze, just a bit of char, and a clear honey glaze to sweeten things further. Not the meatiest, not the juiciest, and not the most tender, but they got the job done, thanks to the very pleasing flavor. These have the potential to be stellar at night. As sampled, above average to well above average, even with the flaws. -- Egg Rolls: Extra crunchy exterior and a soft, stringy assortment of both cabbage and celery for greenery, accented with pork. Above average. -- Chicken Wing (the included appetizer on a combo): Not dark of skin, but still crispy. A bit dry. Kinda plain, with discernible but light marinade. Average to slightly below average. -- Hot and Sour Soup: Not many mushrooms or other fillers. Mostly thick, weirdly gloppy broth and some scallions. Spice present, flavors good, textures not so good. Balances out to average. -- Szechuan Style Chicken with Peanuts: Other than having the two ingredients listed in the name, it didn't seem like similarly named dishes or kung pao. Pea pods standing in for celery. Chicken was high quality and the flavors were appealing, with spice coming through and a hoisin-equestrian undercurrent adding depth. A little above average even if different. -- General Gao's Chicken: My friend's lunch combo. He said it was heavy on the breading and had one-note sweetness. A mixed bag, but a worthy visit if you need something in the area. Lunch specials at $11.95 have a more than fair amount of food, so a good value. But it's those spareribs that'll bring me back. Attentive service. Parking in back of the building.

We ordered 3 combination plates with sesame chicken, crab Rangoon, and pork fried rice, 2 combination plates with general tso chicken, crab Rangoon, and chicken fried rice, one large order of tostones, and one large order of chicken wings for $108. The food was ready after about 15 minutes and was still warm after 30 minutes when we were ready to eat. We all agreed that the food was less greasy than most Chinese food places. Also, the wings were really crispy and tasted fresh. The rice was really good, and surprisingly I did prefer the chicken fried rice. I liked the general tso chicken more than the sesame chicken since it had a bit of spice and more flavor, whereas the sesame chicken was just sweet. I did wish the breading was crispier, but I think it was just because it was take out and about a 20 minute drive. The crab rangoons were good but they did need just a little more filling for my liking. The tostones would have been a lot better right out the oil but it did bring a lot in the order. Overall, I was very satisfied with the portion sizes, flavor, and cost.

We get a half and half - chow mein and fried rice. However if you go later in the day, there's a chance that they'll run out of a few items. Like they're out of fried rice or that the chow mein has 80% celery, cabbage, and onion and perhaps 20% noodles. For the entrees, we prefer their orange chicken (crispy, sweet and sour), kung pao chicken (spicy) which includes veggies like zucchini and red pepper, and finally the chili crisp shrimp (spicy!). Overall, the portions are good and the food is tasty. The cream cheese Rangoon is also good, crispy and a good portion of filling. Service is quick as long as the dish you want is ready.
