Golden House Restaurant Review

Been coming here since I was a kid.  Good hearty authentic Vietnamese food.  The Fan Favorite IMPERIAL ROLLS!  they come out so crisp and crunchy, fried to perfection.  The appetizer plate comes with two rolls but don't be fooled by the small number.  The rolls are big and come out chopped into a few bite size pieces.  Many dishes also come with the imperial roll on the side.

I've had the opportunity to taste just about the entire menu as I have been coming to this small mom pop shop since I was in diapers. The Bo 7 Mon is also tasty.  When I was a kid I thought gross raw meat but the ceviche is really good now that my tastes have grown.

I was also surprised to see a "people love us on yelp" sticker in their window when I dropped by one day.  You can't help but love the small owned shops, sometimes they are more personable than the franchise restaurants.  The owners are always so happy and more than willing to cater to your needs.

I came last night 11/30/11 and was sad to find out that after 26 years this small restaurant was closing as the owners are retiring.  Sad to see such a great place go.  The prices were cheap and the food was good and filling.  The only downside was the restaurant smell that lingered on your clothes.. but dare I say it.. it's been many years at this restaurant and I may even miss the lingering smell of deep fried imperial rolls on my clothes.

As I was having my final meal other regulars also came in to eat and you know the place is good when costumers shed a few tears when they hear such an establishment is closing.  Golden House Restaurant will be missed.

I hope the owners enjoy their life in retirement =)
