Inedible lemon chicken. Chicken too tough to bite through. Even with a knife chicken wasnt edible. Wasted $18. Avoid this place at all costs. I'd rather starve then eat there again. read more

Best Chinese food on the West!! The young, local tita who took our order was so sweet and very helpful. Even helped to bring out our drinks with a room full of customers. I would come back just for her service alone! But also can't beat recipes that haven't changed but better over time! read more

Golden House Restaurant - Lunch Plate never fails! - Cantonese Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

3 generations of my family have been coming here and it's the only Chinese restaurant I will go to in town. My favorites: Pork eggplant over cake noodle, chicken Choi sum, salt and pepper squid, crispy gau gee. When I'm not feeling well, my go to is their War Gau Gee Min! read more

I like this place they've got a really good menu. They got a nice manager there. Great people that work there and the food is damn good too. You never realize it. It's a small you know hole in the wall type place but it's cool. The food is always fantastic. The parking is OK there's maybe four spots in the front . Tends to be a lot of homeless people around the neighborhood, but it's not an issue. Never had any problems.. Even worse than the homeless are cops would you find a lot of in this neighborhood because their station is right next-door. read more

Best Chinese food on the west. Fast service clean tables, floors, and chairs. Love the customer service.

Great place to eat , delicious food and awesome customer service! Always go here with my family!

Love their food! It's our family's go to for Chinese food. Been in Waianae a long time!

First time here food was awesome roast duck/ginger chicken mixhawaiian waitress had everything set up excellent service

love the food great service , food is always fresh and hot love the local family business

The food is delicious and the servings are quite large. The service was excellent and the staffs were friendly.

Ordering take-out, around 12, on a Tuesday. Not busy. Small parking in back. One way in and out, small drive way. Honestly, it does look a little run down from the outside, but I still suggest this place if you're craving chinese food and in Waianae. A little better than "okay", but for a 4 star I think I would have to say that I would go here regularly. Scallop Soup - Tasted like any other scallop soup I've tasted before. No complaints, but also not memorable. Fried Rice - Good flavor, and a LOT of char siu in it. Cold Ginger Chicken - Also good flavor, but a lot of green onion. We got all chicken breast which is considered a plus. New favorite place to order cold ginger chicken. Ma-Po's Tofu - Tasty. I like that they gave a lot, but they could've done better with packing it; it was very messy and spilling out of the container. Shrimp Canton - Shrimp was overcooked and tough. Probably left in the fryer as long as the Gau Gee was. Crispy Gau Gee - This was close to being over done, but it was actually good for me. I like that it was cooked all the way through. I've had multiple places where it was still pink in the middle. read more

Their food is legit going back to dine in best sweet and sour pork I had in years would recommend this place

Where to begin. Well, as far as the ambiance goes there's a foul smell in the air, probably due to the fact that (judging by the looks of) the tea pots, bathroom and overall cleanliness of the restaurant it hasn't been cleaned in a decade or so and that's just ambiance. Now to the food, I ordered orange chicken which was all batter with no chicken (really wish I was exaggerating) might as well have called it orange batter and also ordered a chicken broccoli which was all broccoli and barely any chicken also came drowning in sauce. Ordered a vegetable chow mein also drowning in sauce. Ordered an oyster sauce chicken cake noodle, noodles were so dry almost broke my teeth (it came with a decent amount of chicken tho) which was heavily over salted so, if you have high blood pressure definitely wouldn't recommend. The prices were way to high considering the quality of food and overall cleanliness of restaurant was way to low. If you see this review please don't make the same mistake I did. Take the drive out, go to pandas, you'll get way more for your buck and enjoy the food that they have way more than this establishment. Honestly have no clue how they're even still in business. Had to give 1 star cus -5 stars isn't a thing ‍ read more

Best tasting Chinese food on Waianae coast! Everything tasted how it should. Loved the minute chicken on cake noodles and shrimp canton.

Golden House. I really like this Chinese restaurant in Waianae. From the main road it's hidden aside of a Tax business store front. It's clean inside and everyone so nice. Unfortunately their sign isn't easily spotted at first. Also don't be deterred by the appearance of the outside (it's in Waianae). The parking area is really worn and the store front aged looking, but step inside and it's clean and roomy. I ordered beef bittermelon (dry, no gravy) with black beans and rice. Oh Man was it delicious! It was cooked differently from what I'm used to getting but oh my so good. My only wish is that if the veggie and meat was sliced a little thicker. Also order their crispy gau gee (HUGE), the best I've ever had. EVER! My waitress (or maybe she was the owner?) recommended to order it no gravy style. So glad she gave this advice. You have got to try it. Generous portion and hot rice, I couldn't stop grunting with pleasure. So good. read more

Been coming here for many years. Food is always good, but their service really is mediocre at best. The older lady is always good at serving, who we didn't get, but the younger one has no people skills, where I had to go to the counter to order food. Then she just placed the food on the table for us to pass around the table. literally brought one to two plates at a time. Only gave enough rice to feed maybe 3 people. We had a table of 6. Had to serve our own drinks. This rate they will be like twin dragon and close down. pretty disappointed, not sure if we will do sit down again, if we even come back. read more

Golden House Restaurant - This is rice to feed 5 people, where it is up to the spoon is the amount we actually received. Shame!!! - Cantonese Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

Updated. (1.33 stars). After listening to my friend rave about GHR for months, I figured I would give GHR another try. The BF and I went a few weeks ago after getting home late from work (again) and having no energy to cook! Remembering that my friend kept pestering me to give GHR another try, we caved in... When we arrived at GHR, the place was virtually empty with the exception of 2 customers and 5 workers. It was approximately 1900 at night so we figured it was past dinner time and that was the reason for the lack of customers... As we got seated, I noticed a Daily Specials menu written on a whiteboard. Cool, I thought, maybe this will be better!!?? NOPE!!! We decided to order the following: S&P Pork Chops. (1 star). Do you love oily food? Can you not get enough of biting into a thick chunk of pure pork fat and having oil dribble down your chin?? Do you enjoy biting into shards of bone? If you have answered yes to any of these questions... this daily special may be the perfect item for you to try!! I literally spit my chunks of fat back out as oil dripped from my mouth and the piece of pork chop I was still holding with my chopsticks. The meat to bone to fat ratio was unacceptable. As I dissected my piece of pork chop and cut out just the meaty portion, I was appalled!! Barely any meat. The pork was previously frozen and hard to chew. The fat absorbed so much of the oil that when I bit into it, the fat squirted oil into my mouth. Absolutely disgusting!! Minute Chicken Cake Noodle. (1 star). Do you like soggy old Ong Choy that is not cut into bite size pieces being dumped on your cake noodles? Do you enjoy trying to dislodge the extremely long pieces of Ong Choy that get stuck in your throat? Do you like your chicken tough and flavorless? How's about cake noodles that are soggy from all the oil it absorbed? Can I make this dish sound any more appetizing?? I think NOT!! I don't understand how this dish could be so hard to mess up?! I just can't even go on anymore about how disappointing this dish was!! The "gravy" had a few lumps of cornstarch that hadn't dissolved and very little seasoning, making this a very difficult dish to eat. Crispy Gau Gee. (2 stars). Do you enjoy eating fried foods that have been fried more than twice?? Don't you just enjoy having something crumble at the touch of your fingertips thus leaving endless amounts of fried powder all over your hands and clothes?! I don't know about you, but I get really pissed off when I'm served old food that has since been reheated and/or refried... The wrapper seemed to be fried numerous times so some of the Gau Gee were crispy and others were dissolving upon contact with my fingers... Some of the Gau Gee were filled generously and some were virtually air puffs. The inconsistencies in textures and filling were definitely unacceptable to me. --- The BF ordered Orange Chicken but it looked like it was GLOWING ORANGE so I refrained from trying it. He said it was OK. The service was a bit shoddy. Our first server, who we were told numerous times was new, seemed to be oblivious to us after we put in our order. I finally had to flag down another lady who could get me a take out box but not my check. I then had to flag down yet another lady to get our check after waiting 7 minutes. Yes, I timed it!! I was so aggravated by this point. GHR has a private parking lot located adjacent to the restaurant. I don't think I can stomach anymore of GHR's food. I can't believe people rave about this place?! While the portion sizes are on the generous side, I really don't need a generous portion of oily chunks of pork fat. NO THANK YOU! Good luck GHR, after 4 chances, I just can't eat here anymore. read more

Yup doesn't look like much. Haven't been here since covid but the food and service are very good. Gaugee was extra crispy. Food was tasty read more

Nice nostalgic seating with nice matching music. Good portions and unique flavors with the lunch/dinner plates. read more

Their food have improved tremendously since the last time I've been here. This the golden house restaurant I remember

Price is very expensive and portions are just ok. Food is good except for the Kau Yuk could cook longer for tenderness, shrimp canton tasted like they used the same oil a lot. Roast Duck is amazing but very small portion unlike other Chinese Restaurants, Their Steamed Pork Hash is also amazing and portion was perfect. I would have given 4 or maybe 5 stars if the portions were up to par like most Chinese Restaurants and if they used new oil for the shrimp canton. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon but maybe one day. read more

I came here for the first time last week and i had to come here again and i introduced my husband and son to this place. The menu is extensive and there's something on there for everyone! Food is made fresh upon order and the portion size is perfect. The first time i came here, i shared a steak well done and shrimp canton with my dad and i loved the dish! The steak was tasty, topped with gravy and sautéed onions and the shrimp canton had the red dipping sauce drizzled on top, all on a bed of rice. Everything was tasty!!!!!! My first time here i tried their gaugee, so good!!!!! and bao buns by itself, so tasty!!!! The second time i came here i tried their minute chicken and asked them if they could burn it a little and they did just that, that was also delicious. I ate their golden house fried rice, that was yummy too!!!!! Everything so far was tasty and I will be coming back again and again. They serve small plates if you don't want to eat too too much. Highly recommend everyone to check this place out if you haven't already. There is a bit of a wait if there's already a lot of people but not too bad. Great lunch/dinner place that's inexpensive!!!!! read more

I used to go to Golden House years ago, so I wanted to try the food again. The plate lunch I had was very good and I also ordered the minute chicken was awesome. Some places deep fry the chicken but this one was stirred fried which I liked better. Will be back there to try their Wor Gau Chee Mein. read more

If you ever venture out to the west side of Oahu, stop in to this quaint Chinese restaurant for some scrumptious Asian comfort food. Locally and family owned, it's located right in the heart of Waianae town. There is ample parking and you can always expect to be greeted with a friendly face when you enter the clean and spacious restaurant. The restaurant is under dressed if you were to compare it to the town counterparts but people are not here to be impressed for the ambiance. This place is known for its fresh and tasty food! When Chinese people come here..the kind of pakes who eat at the best Chinese restaurants across the USA, you know it's good and of good value. I'll be honest, when I lived down here it's the only place I go to but I'm definitely not alone. I've seen famous people dropping by..ordering their fav dishes when on this side of the island. Today I ordered the Beef Chow Funn. Tender slivers of Funn noodles mixed with a medley of bean sprouts, white onion and moist, slices of tender beef medallions. They melt in your mouth ! Other top dishes to try: honey walnut shrimp, Crispy Gau Gee (the best anywhere bar none) and their Chinese chicken salad. Try them and you'll be back. read more

Excellent food, friendly efficient staff and CLEAN. Our favorite restaurant for Chinese food on the island.

Happy that they have been opened for dine in during COVID-19. Our favorites is the Soft Gau Gee Mein, Crispy Gau Gee Mein and Walnut Shrimp. They're the bomb read more

Monday March 2, 2015 I did a call in order to the restaurant. I ordered pork with vegetables soup, shrimp walnut, and beef broccoli. The employee recognized my voice and asked if I wanted won ton mein. I told her not tonight. She then says "your order will be ready in 10 minutes." I arrived at the restaurant and was greeted by one of the owners and the employee. The employee asked if I was off from work and I told her that I am scheduled to work the overnight shift. Few minutes more of waiting then my order was ready. I noticed that the walls inside of the restaurant has been painted. I also noticed that the women restroom has a new wash basin as well. I love the new improvements that has been done to the restaurant. Golden House is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Waianae area. I love it since it is within walking distance to my workplace. read more

So, since I got really sick from eating here a few years ago, I haven't been back since. But, after hearing good things about this place, I figure give it another chance, since my go to place Waianae Chop Suey closed a while back. So, needed to pick up dinner and decided to try this place out again. It wasn't busy and the ladies inside were real nice. Put in my take out order and didn't wait too long. The Aunty in front was really nice and sweet. The food looked & smelled yummy. But, when I got home with dinner and started eating, it wasn't what I expected. The fried rice had a different taste to it and the gau gee was too salty. I was all excited to eat, but then I was a bit disappointed. I don't think I'll be going back here. The place seems like a popular place, but I guess my palate has a different taste and it didn't agree with their food. read more

Ok so me & my bf have been coming here for years especially during the day but once in a while we come for dinner. Well during the day the staff is small (down to 1 waitress) and the food is pretty nice. Well just a couple of days ago we decided to come in for dinner. There were 2 waitresses which serviced us & from the beginning it felt like they didn't wanted to. We asked for tea & water, the little waitress looked like we were bothering her & so she plotted down our waters which we asked twice for, we ordered out usual (Roast duck on cake noodle). The duck had a bitter weird taste but the noodles were fine. After the second bite of the duck I spit it out & told the second waitress because the short one just gave us the impression that she didn't wanted to serve us anymore. So we told second waitress about the duck & she complained to us why did we continued eating it which I told her that I spit it out after the second bite but the noodles was fine, then she complained to us that we did this before & I asked her when because we rarely come during the night?!?!?! We just ordered something else even tho the waitress said "They just took duck out if the oven". Sorry I don't want get food poisoning. My bf left a small tip I wouldn't have but my tip for them is a little pleasant attitude goes a long way & treating your customers well will result in a better tip. So sad the attitudes of these waitresses! read more

We stopped in here for takeout lunch on a work Saturday. The outside of the place is a bit sketch, and the interior decor is kind of dated, but clean enough. It's basically every a Chinese restaurant my family went to while I was growing up. We ordered stuffed tofu w/pork hash and minute chicken cake food. I wanted a tea cookie, but had to settle for almond since they were out. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back. read more

So on a Sunday night my husband and I decided we wanted to get some food instead of making some. So he decided to order take out from here. He looked at a menu online and apparently the menu they have online and the menu they have in the restaurant is two different ones so he had to describe to the lady of what he would want. When he went to pick up the food it was a very non- welcoming environment. But it didn't really matter cause we were taking our food to go. When he got home and brought the food to me. It smelled like poop! Literally poop!! Then he had me try it and it was disgusting! He got like a noodle with vegetable stir fry with some sort of gravy on top! I would not ever recommend this place to anyone!! We literally just through the food away! It was like $10 waste of money. read more
