GOLDEN HOUSE Chinese Restaurant And Takeaway - in West Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very tasty food, very nice staff and very cozy. Had the dim sum and the chicken fried rice… It was fantastic. Highly recommended!!! ❤️

Staying in Minehead for a weeks holiday and we came here in the mood for some chinese food. Everything we had was outstanding and full of flavour and served hot! Would 100% come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for some tasty chinese food! Would recommend trying the chicken satay it is full of flavour couldnt get enough of it!

Very poor food. All dishes the same shade of grey and tasted equally bland. Not cheap either. Won't be going back.

Tasty food takeaway entrance wasn't clear as its also restaurant but enjoyed the food

Great service and delicious food. Many good options for vegetarians too. Highly recommended

Lovely food, quick service and friendly staff. The rice and curry sauce were the best I've tasted in a long time. Will visit again.

Food and service is brilliant as usual xxxx

Great food, great service and great people.

Really friendly girl at reception to the takeaway section. Food was good quality and very resonably priced.

Dined in under new management for the first time for years...excellent service...excellent food..very happy with the price. My choice on the evening was chicken curry and boiled rice. Returned for a chicken curry and boiled rice takeaway about a month kater.... price excellent...service excellent.... but this ain't the same dish. No way. Spicy...tasty...a bit runny... definitely NOT what I was served in the restaurant. We WILL be returning to the the restaurant armed with a pre ordered takeaway to prove our point.

Excellent been before and will be going back again no faults

Authentic Chinese restaurant...really good food, excellent service and a reasonable price...can't fault it. I'll be back!

Nice little Chinese, very good value and good quality

Walked in sat down and was shocked and disgusted at the price difference to dine in compared to take away. It's fair to say we didn't stay walked out and went down road to taj Mahal which was lovely and reasonable priced. Golden house you absolute robbing b@#st@+ds.

As usual an excellent meal and great service. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you

Lovely people, excellent service and delicious food. I was told I had a bit of a wait for my dim sum but they arrived quickly and tasted wonderful. The ingredients used are so obviously fresh, cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. All served with a huge smile despite having been flooded earlier in the day.

Food was great would recommend it I used zipp scooters which are located just outside Butlins to collect it cheaper than using a taxi family enjoyed the food.

Although the food was nice, it was very overpriced for the portion size. Also was offered prawn crackers on arrival which was an extra £3 on the bill, not complimentary.

All round great place. Food is delicious and very generous portions.

Chilled meal out for the 9 of us, the food was impeccable and the service was really friendly and welcoming ! Would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Greeted by a lovely young lady who was all smiles and very courteous. Nice food too!

Popped in to get a mixed vegetable curry with fried rice takeaway. Quick service, reasonable price and tasted good. Cash payments only for below £10.

Visited on the 16th of July Only diners seated, so I should of been worried . Ordered Kung-po chicken vegetable chow mein crispy chilli beef and mushrooms in garlic. The chicken was like rubber and a total lack of flavour. The chow mein had obviously had an argument with the vegetables and they had left. The chilli beef and mushrooms were OK. This restaurant is also HIGHLY OVERPRICED!!! ITS AN AWFUL PLACE TO EAT DON'T BOTHER.

AWFUL JUST DON'T BOTHER Really expensive awful food

We visited this lovely takeaway yesterday evening. The person that served us was so lovely, really friendly. The food was beautiful, Thankyou. Ps Thankyou for pointing out to me, we were about to exit through a one way street 🙂

Always phenomenal, staff, food and atmosphere. Amazing always

Good Menu, very tasty hot portions. Excellent service, very Friendly

Preordered from our butlins chalet. Ready on arrival and food was delicious!

Very nice and tasty meal just now staff very friendly and accommodating

We came to stay in Butlins and was told about this beautiful Chinese Resturant. I have to say it’s the best Chinese we have ever had the food was hot so tasty my taste buds were given a treat that night june 6th 2023?

We had a lovely meal here. The Host even told me the history of one of the paintings on the wall, which I absolutely loved! All the members of staff were so welcoming, thank you for a lovely evening!

The food is fantastic and the service is great 👍

Not cheap but you get what you pay for, probably the best chinese restaurant that I have eaten in, very helpful staff. One small "gripe" on arrival we were asked if we wanted prawn crackers, we said yes please but were rather surprised to find that they were added to the bill £3.00, I think that's the first time that I have had to pay for them. But, as I say, fabulous food and great service, so much so, that we went back two days later and will be back next time we are in minehead

Visited here as really fancied a sit-in Chinese meal and there's not many local in the area. It wasn't terrible but then it wasn't great either, found the food to be tasty but lacking in portion size. Quite a bit more expensive than other Chinese restaurants I've visited so the smaller portion size compounded the negative experience. Rice and chow mein was lovely, lemon chicken was good... the tiny portion of crispy shredded beef was poor with little to no meat inside, was more like crispy shredded batter... certainly not worth £10.50 Staff were great, nice friendly welcome and attentive, restaurant and service was good also. I probably would eat here again, just expected a bit better value for money.

Very tasty the mould adds to the flavour

We had booked for a large party with a set menu. I had tofu with green peppers in a black bean sauce and it was really tasty. The tofu was great and had picked up the taste of the sauce. Really enjoyed the meal I had.

Great food the best Chinese have ever had

Fantastic place with great food

Best food. Quick Service excellent price great food tasty fresh & hot. Jess is a superstar!

Great takeaway while we were on holiday. Friendly service.

Prawns with green pepper and black bean sauce was a little bland, but service was good and the pancake rolls were tasty, so not too bad at all.

As always lovely Chinese meal very friendly staff and great service would highly recommend.

The food was amazing. We were on holiday visiting family. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Had a delicious meal there with my Wife, great service, amazing food.

excellent food and staff are cheery

Fantastic food every time - promise myself to eat in one day but the takeaway service is brilliant nevertheless. Some gluten -free options available - we have fried rice without the soy-sauce usually

Wonderful meal, fast friendly service. This was our second visit and it won't be our last.

Good Chinese. First time I've tried it. Had a chicken satay, (good portion and flavour), special chowmein and chips. Nice crispy chips. Chose the wet chow mein, but would try dry next time. Only negative is the price. Most expensive Chinese I've come across I think.

First time visiting Minehead found this gem of a Chinese restaurant really nice food and the staff were so helpful and friendly

The food was tasty however I had a chicken chow mien which was far too salty. This is the second time I’ve ordered from here. The first time I was up all night drinking water due to the salt but felt a second chance was needed. Shame because if the salt could be reduced it would be 5 stars. I hope Golden House take this recommendation seriously as would love to use them again.

Great food and reasonably priced , whenever in minehead always like to visit

Very slow service food was very bland and sloppy with no taste, would not go there again or recommend

Wonderful food with chef hidden stash of shrimp chilli. Taste like any top Chinese restaurant in Singapore. Portions could be a bit more generous for the price but being able to satisfy our spicy craving there was a blessing.

Very nice, tasty, friendly restaurant, very affordable, not expensive at all, my prawns with ginger and spring onions was fab, 6 of us all very happy and content. Book your table because they are very busy!!!!

Really nice as had enough of Butlins food.

Didn't taste very nice unfortunately.

Recommended by staff at our hotel, and it didn't disappoint. Friendly and speedy service. Food was excellent. Would recommend booking ahead if in a group of more than 4, as only a small restaurant. But well worth it.

Called in tonight after reading very mixed reviews! Got to say it's one of the best Chinese meals I've had in a long time couldn't fault our meal or service 😊

Nice restaurant, very tasty and authentic food, good portion sizes, not the cheapest but the cheapest is never the best. Highly recommend, went last night, and going again tonight.

Fast service and meals were excellent

Lovely food, friendly service. Highly recommend.

Expensive and not great. Staff were friendly but I wouldn't go back.

Been coming here for years, the food is always fantastic 👍. far cheaper than all the other takeaways. USE THIS TAKEAWAY YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

Whilst the food was somewhat different to most Chinese food we are generally used to, it was excellent. Staff were also most accommodating and cheerful - would totally recommend to anyone!

very good food and good service

Food nice , portions just right size. Hint : get set meal dishes individually will save you £8

We were visiting Butlins Minehead, and was looking for Chinese food near by. Was doubtful after reading the reviews, but thought will try it. Unfortunately I will stand with previous poor reviews. Definitely don’t recommend this restaurant if you are looking for Chinese food in Minehead. The menu is exceptionally overpriced. And didn’t bill the order individually by item. I was charged £3 for prawn crackers (where other restaurants give as complementary). For sweet chilli sauce and chilli oil I was charged £2 each. And the food taste was average. Really disappointed.

Staff welcoming and friendly. Food was cooked fresh. Very enjoyable and would recommend. Only comment is it was a bit cold inside and decor is a little basic but worth going for the nice food.

Fantastic food both as a take away and in the restaurant. The staff are really friendly. Best Chinese restaurant

Amazing food and hospitality was epic would highly recommend

We ordered food from here as we were skeptical and wanted to give it a try after so many years. Our food was really lovely and yummy and the service was very friendly and fast. Would definitely recommend 😄

Golden House changed hands towards the end of 2020, which has resulted in much improved food. I have had a variety of meals from here over the last year and all have been very tasty and generous portions.

Good service and food considering a local competitor is currently shut,so very busy with walk ins and phone orders.Well done,we will be back! Thanks.

Wonderful good and plenty of it,definitely recommend.

Brilliant food definitely going back

If you're looking for a Chinese takeaway, this will do you okay. When I visited, there were some really good dishes, others not so much. The chow mein and tofu dishes were excellent, but most of the vegetarian spring rolls went in the bin as the filling was mushy and tasteless. The staff were friendly and professional and the order was cooked quickly.

Great experience, friendly staff, cheap price. Was staying at nearby butlins 3 mins drive away was this gem. Best Chinese I’ve had! Thanks

Good quality food - reasonably priced.

Friendly staff & service, food was really enjoyable, it's our 2and meal & have enjoyed each time.

Order 15 mins late despite ordering and ring to check, as we ordered a taxi collection

Excellent take away. A bit of a wait to collect as they were very busy but it was worth it as all the dishes were delicious. And they are the best prawn crackers I have ever had. Will definitely be going there again.

Awful service Ordered a collection for 8.30 got there on time and waited 25 minutes. Covid 19 protocols were non-existent 7 people waiting and I was the only one wearing mask inside the waiting area

It hasn't got a very good review

Nice food and staff, wish they would turn the heating on though 😱

Very good always use when in the area

Nice place but need to invest in heating it's a cold November night and im freezing

The food was decent, not the best and not the worst, my wife and I were the only customers in, there's not alot to say about it.

First night went at 9:45pm they said we are too late despite it saying its open till 11pm, went the second night at 8pm they told us we have to eat up quick and when the food came it was cold and my friends meal had a bug in his noddles. Dreadful, avoid at all cost.

Excellent food and reasonable price

Very friendly and their curry here is lovely. The only advise is the restaurant and the takeaway have two separate entrances.

An absolutely amazing restaurant. the food comes quickly and tastes so nice. We went two days in a row I give the service 5 stars the food 5 stars too thankyou for the nice experience from us and the kids!

Nice friendly staff and good food delicious.

Excellent takeaway, never had a bad meal try the chicken with chilli and peppers it's the best.

Really nice meal we had about six main dishes between us, and the quality was very good. We didn't have to wait too long for our meals, however it wasn't too busy. The service was great. The decor inside needs a big upgrade but overall the main thing was the food and they got that spot on.

The food is good but overpriced. Staff was really unfriendly.

Tue 30 April 2019 6:30pm ish. Collected and tried to eat the worst chicken in green pepper and black bean sauce of my long life from the Golden House Restaurant takeaway, whilst visiting a few days in Dunster near Minehead. I had the same dish from the other Chinese restaurant 'The China Garden' on Alcombe rd, in Minehead on Sunday evening 28 April 2019, with separate egg fried rice( virtually no egg!). From there the sauce was nice and strong, plenty pepper and most important the chicken tasted as genuinely wok fried from fresh or close to that. You can hear the cooks frying while you wait. Service was nice and it was busy. Back to the Golden House: I expected better from a restaurant. The egg fried rice was nice with enough egg and spring onion and not tainted with soy sauce. Much better than the egg fried rice from China Garden which was the opposite and overcooked. However, the chicken in my green pepper and black bean sauce dish was fibrous, squashy, wet and broken down tasting, like it had been bought in processed and pumped full of water, then heated from frozen. A lot of cheap Chinese food places use this junk. It was disgusting and I had to leave most of it and just eat the very watery black bean liquid in my punnet, full of sliced carrot bulking the dish where there should have been plenty of mild peppers(capsicums). I suspect the watery sauce was due to all the frozen water released from the chicken when heated or a lazy cook. My veggie partner had chips with vegetable curry and added Tofu. Her dish was ok but not as tasty as the same from the China Garden and the chips were not as chunky. They were standard fries from frozen used in kebab takeaways, so were very starchy. You would expect a restaurant to deep fry their own had cut chips. One plus is the Golden House does Tofu if your vegetarian, the China Garden inexplicably doesn't, yet has a vegetarian section. Overall? If you can't get basic chicken right in the Golden House when they sell for £2.80 a whole chicken trade, then I can only assume the rest of the meats and fish there are awful too. I would never go back to Golden House if visiting Dunster and would use the China Garden, and insist they cook proper egg fried rice with some spring onion and egg in it, to go with their nice main dishes. Or, just order boiled rice.

Nice food but a little bit exspenive

Good food and good portions but horrid service, rude and seemingly hate their job and customers, will hang up on you, asked if they delivered they said no, said id collect then and they hung up. Wouldnt sit in with the staff like that.

Incredibly disappointed with our experience here. I specifically asked whether one of the noodle dishes was suitable for vegans and was assured 'yes, this is no problem'. I was then served a bland dish with egg in it. When I raised my concerns with the waitress, she was unapologetic and said that she didn't know that vegans didn't eat eggs. Such poor knowledge of the food they are serving is disappointing for vegetarians/vegans, but more worringly dangerous for anyone with allergies. After mutterings from her coworker, we were offered free drinks or £5 off the bill, neither of which covered the cost of the dish. My friend barely touched the crispy beef dish that she had ordered as it tasted strangely sour. The placemats proudly state that the restaurant is recommended by Egon Ronay (a food critic), but given the fact he passed away 10 years ago, I can only assume standards have slipped dramatically.

The best beef chow mein I've had since eating it in Yunnan Provence. I went on a very quiet evening, the service was really good, and the price amazing for what I got. Thanks!
