My family took me to Golden Seafood for Father's Day. We arrived around 2:45pm and were told the wait would be around 30 minutes, it was more around 45 minutes but that was fine. We were seated and were waited on fairly quickly despite it being super busy. We ordered our food and the appetizer and drinks were brought out very fast. Our entrees arrived and two of the size orders were incorrect. One of the entrees, the grilled shrimp, arrived so late that almost everyone had finished eating. We were told that the grill was backed up and that's what had taken so long. The restaurant was very busy and people were standing around everywhere waiting on a table. The service was a little slow in regards to refilling drinks and checking up on us, but that is probably due to the holiday. The food was good, hot and the quantities were big for the price. We have been to this location several times before and the service has always been good and the orders have always been on point, so I'll let it slide and will definitely return. The sopa mariscos is one of the best in Houston. read more

Golden Seafood House - Small Sopa Mariscos, Pork Lomein, House Special Rice - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's exactly what you'd expect. Food: I think my dish had 10 shrimps and a whole onion sliced up. If a dish says "spicy", it's really not. Tasted fine, nothing special in my opinion. The selling point here is the quantity of food for the unbeatable price point, not the taste. Service: Fine. Your server might forget about you. They can get busy during dinner. The servers speak mostly Spanish, so know some words! A great spot for a budget hang out with a large group. Lots of seating. Plenty of menu options. My friend got a "small" seafood soup and the bowl was bigger than her head. Can't stress the massive portions and unbeatable prices enough. Great for families. read more

We love golden seafood. The prices cannot be beat for the amount and quality of food that you get. The place is always busy but my boyfriend and I always get seated quickly. He and our friends swear by the micheladas, which aren't my thing. The margaritas are fine, but I'm really there for the seafood! The shrimp diabla is my favorite with the fried rice which I crave. The shrimp platters are also so good as well. The shrimp diabla is spicy, but I'm good with spice and the waiters will warn you in case. They always have the Astros playing if you are a baseball fan as well. read more

Golden Seafood House - Seafood diabla, fried catfish and fries! - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Stopped in with my husband for a quick easy dinner. I had the Golden Garlic Shrimp. It was tasty. Not a lot of spicy other than when eating the jalapeños. I personally would have liked a bit more than just onion and shrimp. I believe next time I'd do the Diablo with more peppers included too. The waitress was polite. Slight language barrier which wasn't an issue. She was still polite as much as possible and made sure my water was full. This isn't a romantic spot. But decent for a group or just a quick meal. The fried rice is definitely my favorite. read more

My first time here and I was very impressed. I was not expecting the food to be so fresh and delicious. I tried the seafood soup which was so so good and loved the flavor of the broth. The Diablo shrimp, garlic grilled shrimp, and fried shrimp were also very good. Our waitress was attentive and the restaurant was clean. Also you can't beat the great value. I'm really surprised at some of the low reviews. I'm glad I tried it and will be back again. read more

Basically robbed us blind. We were supposed to pay 70 and they added tip without telling us making it 90.

Place gets crowded during lunch, but well worth the wait. The food was hot and fresh when served, and there was plenty of it at a reasonable price. This is the place you wanna go if you don't want to pay for extra because of cloth, napkins and white linen tablecloth's. The good hot, fresh seafood? this is the place for you!!! read more

Food is ok... the service sucks waitresses only give good service if you a man and giving attention other than that you stuck waiting to get your order for drinks or your food order!! Never came back to ask if we needed anything else.... read more

Fresh, properly cooked seafood: fresh fish filet, fresh fried oysters and shrimp served with generous amounts fresh fried rice, big fresh juicy lemon/lime slices! All at a very reasonable price and quick, efficient service. It doesn't get better than this! read more

One of my family's favorite place to eat. They have great drink and sea food platters. The prices vary. And the service is very attentive.

3 shrimps in our shrimp fried rice. We order often and in person at times, same thing. 2pc fish filet with shrimp fried rice, which comes with the fish, cost 10 + change. Now they say it's only fried rice. I know what I read. Menu is now changed read more

I've eaten at GSH twice and had the same thing both times. Their ceviche with crackers! It is IMO some of the best in Houston. The meat is chunky and the veggies are chopped the the right size! Marinated in lots of lime! Delicious! This what recommended and I couldn't forget it. The person that took me there several years ago said it was his families "go-to" seafood or "Sunday" restaurant. After that visit I hadn't been back in the area until recently. I remembered the place being a Mexican restaurant because it has that vibe, so when I recently asked another friend who lives in the neighborhood, he confirmed it was probably the same place I ate. Went in to see and sure enough. Took a large ceviche to-go. It didn't disappoint. I've also heard (on good authority) that their horchata is good. read more

The seafood soup was perfect for a cold day. I ordered a small and it was a big bowl of soup and a big roll. I didn't think it was going to be as good as the reviews said, but I was and I would order it again and again. It is a clear broth that is a little spicy, but not too spicy. My friend and I shared a seafood platter which came with stuffed crab, a scallop, shrimp, and fish. It comes with tartar sauce and limes. Everything was lightly battered and crispy. It was a big portion and if you like fried seafood, it is a good price. I read a few reviews that the service was bad. We had a nice waitress who got our order correct and checked on us a few times to see how we were doing. No problems at all with service. I will say I was the only non- Hispanic person at the restaurant (out of 75 plus people). I was surprised there wasn't a single other ethnicity there. We were here on a Saturday for lunch. It was busy but no wait to be seated at 12:30pm. read more

Golden Seafood House - Seafood soup - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is my go to place for seafood comfort. There is always space regardless of 1 or 15 people. Service is great too. The soups are hot and flavorful. Don't forget to ask for the bolillo (bread) toasted, it elevates the experience of seafood soups. Parking may sometimes be a challenge but check behind the building, there are spots there too. The menu offer so many options for seafood - there is something for everyone, even the non-seafood eaters. Great place to go when the temperature drops. read more

I give a 4 only because their service isn't always good, the waiters often seem bothered and hardly ever come back to check on you. Aside from that, the food is what keeps me returning, the vibe can be loud at times but doesn't bother me.

Pretty good food and pretty good service. This was my first visit and my friend had been raving about the Caldo de Mariscos so I had to try it. It was the perfect cold and rainy day for it. I couldn't believe it was only $10. Very good and very filling. They didn't slump on the seafood either. There were some other things on the menu I wanted to try so I'll definitely be back but not bad for a first impression. read more

Food was really amazing! We picked it up the food and it was very hot also very fresh! I can only imagine the ambiance of the restaurant.

I used to date a guy who insisted we go to the dollar theater on 50 cent Tuesdays. So it's no surprise that I'm now a cheap date. Dollar Lone Stars, taco stands, two-for-one passes for a day at the race track. These are the little things that keep a girl happy. Added to the list is Golden Seafood. My bff gushed about the micheladas and super inexpensive seafood. I say "inexpensive," because "cheap" has a bad connotation. The fish is actually fresh, displayed on a deli-like window for all to see. The menu is filled with a lot of fried goodies, like jumbo skrimp, fries, catfish, fried rice and others. There are "healthier" options like grilled fish (shark-like in size. And beware, it's served with the head intact), ceviche, and caldo de marisco (seafood soup), which I always order. Trust me when I say this, portions are VERY hefty here. The environment is laid back, country tunes in the background, a lot of families, groups of fellas during lunch, oftentimes, pervy but harmless men at the bar, and gals like me and some friends looking to soak our hands in some crispy fried food. Every time I take a newbie here, they can't stop talking about how they never knew this place existed. if you're gonna drink, order a michelada (your choice of cerveza, of course, but let's stick with the Mexican beer, people!). I personally think Mambo's has NOTHING on Golden Seafood. read more

Good soups and jumbo shrimp .The whole fried fish is also amazing and the service is top notch

While I've only had takeout from Golden twice, I'm a big fan!! Generous portions of super-fresh seafood. We have the seafood soup (yum!!!!), fish ceviche, shrimp fried rice and the jalapeño shrimp!! Soooo good!! read more

I met my friend Mikey B @ the bar for a late night michelada and food. They are serious about their micheladas too. I ordered the stuffed crab and shrimp plate with fried rice. I was surprised that it was shrimp fried rice :) It was decent. The portion is good. You can get fries instead of rice too. Overall, it was a good stomach filler. The only yuck part is the strange lady that was sitting next to me at the bar. She kept giving us these weird stares. Awkward! I'd recommend this as a try......The food is reasonably priced, decent and the service is friendly. read more

Great seafood at a very reasonable price! No wait time. Service was great! Clean place!!!

15 plus years and food flavor is consistent. Combo of fried rice and seafood. Yummy flavor highly recommend

This spot has been on my want-to-eat list for awhile and I finally made it out here for lunch recently. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait because I was fairly impressed with the food! What I tried: 1. Beverage-Michelada with Corona- the micheladas here do not disappoint. Just the right amount of kick and perfect with an ice-cold Corona, wedge of lime, and pinch of salt. Delicious! 2. Fried shrimp plate- My husband got this and it was just the right amount of food for him to polish off on his own. The regular shrimp are a respectable size. 3. Fried shrimp and fish plate- I got this and ate 3/4 of it with 1/4 boxed up to take home. The fish was super fresh and SO GOOD. Loved the light, crispy batter. I got fried rice as my side and it was yummy, too! 4. Ceviche- we shared this as an appetizer and it was my favorite part of the meal! Extremely fresh and just really, really nicely prepared. It was plenty for 2 to share- could definitely stretch it to feed 4 if everyone orders their own entrées. Would return just to eat this... Top notch! I can't wait to return and try the seafood soup. I looked around and it seemed like a popular dish! Also- we had great service and the women's restroom was pretty clean, too. The parking lot is small but we had no issues as we went for an early-ish lunch. If you arrive closer to noon or later on the weekend, you may have difficulty finding a spot. read more

Do not eat here. Thought the food is decent and prices are cheap, the staff is awful. They messed up my to go order and charged me to fix it. When I asked to have it not charged, they told me they had a shift change and whomever approved it was gone. This came after the last time when I asked for 1 three filet plate, and they gave me 3 3 filet plates. When I called to bring them back, they said "didn't huh notice you had more?" No. I didn't. I ordered a lot of food. Done with this place. read more

We have been eating here over 20 years. Today, we ordered Combination Platter for 2. Everything was fine except somebody flattened the shrimp before frying. They were like potato chips with tails. Husband told the waitress who said they had always been that way. Maybe since she's been working there. Then, he went looking for the manager. She said the same thing and that there were plenty of customers and nobody else was complaining. Husband said he was telling her out of courtesy -- thought she would like to know but there are plenty of other places we could eat. She told him if he didn't like the food, he could go elsewhere. Couple from next table was leaving and stopped by to ask if we were complaining about the shrimp. They had been disappointed, too. Husband encouraged them to talk to the manager. Husband recommends allowing her to find a new job. read more

I was going to go with 4 stars, but I gave Connie's Seafood 5 stars and to me this was just as good as Connie's. Initial visit was very positive. I liked the vibe of the place. Good hustle of business, which is always a great sign. Nice decor, clean, pleasant. I ordered the Seafood Lover's Platter, I think it was called, and it did not disappoint. My fried rice could have been served a bit warmer, but I am willing to overlook it. Good seafood for a great price. Winner Winner Seafood Dinner! read more

We decided to finally try this place after a friend raved about it. I wish we would have not done this. I had the grilled shrimp and fried rice. The fried rice was hard and had no flavor, soy sauce didn't even help. The shrimp Were fine at $13.99 for 6 since they only had jumbo shrimp. They put WAY too much seasoning on it. The grilled onions had this spice and a funny flavor as well. My rice had a big roasted jalapeño on it. I cannot handle spice since I have health issues. We both had a glass of water and it was nasty tap water. My husband said the fried fish "wasn't too bad but it wasn't that good, Connie's does it better". The prices were fine and the place was clean enough, but parking is tight and scarce. I think we will stick with our favorites Tampico and Connie's. The service www lackluster as the waitress disappeared and had us sitting there for 30 minutes or so until we finally got the bill. Hard pass for us read more
