Golden Seafood

There is a reason why no one is at this place. The service was good, our waitress very attentive, but the food was awful! Rice was very bland and mushy, the stuff crab was not cooked correctly, fried and still a little cold in the stuffing part, the shrimp cocktail was okay but it was too sweet, not tangy nor was it seasoned, it seemed like it had been sweeten? Would not recommend to anyone and now you now why that place was empty!

This place is a lot better than Mambo’s Seafood.
The reason why I say this place is better than Mambo’s is:
1 — Not over crowded
2 — Mambo’s fried shrimp gets over ponded to a very thin layer of shrimp and over coated with batter.
3 — Prices are slightly higher
The $ 25 family pack for 30 fried shrimps, 6 pieces of fried fish and fried rice is a bargain to feed your whole family and then some. (I have a family of 5 and still have some food to go)
I have yet to try any grilled seafood but the fried seafood is descent — Not the best but for sure it’s good for the quantity and price.
Their fried rice is pretty good not better than Mambo’s but for $ 25 for all that food its good enough for me.
I would definitely come back when I crave for fry foods.

Been here several times and is usually pretty good for what you pay for. It’s a Chinese owned seafood restaurant ran by Mexicans. During the week it’s not packed at all. Nice full bar with HH prices. Seafood is pretty good and they have a lot of options to chose from. I shall return!

The food here is great. It was served hot and fresh and had lots of flavor. The prices cannot be beat and the service was also outstanding. We will definitely be back again. We purchased the family seafood platter and you definitely get your monies worth.

I was very excited to go to this restaurant after reading the reviews. I could eat seafood every day! What a disappointment, my husband arrived before me and the woman who was going to seat him could not understand «There will be two of us». She yelled for someone else in Spanish. There were 8 or 9 servers sitting at the bar and no one moved. Finally he was seated and was served tea that was very old. All of the tv’s were blaring… all on different mexican channels. He was being stared at by a couple of guys that him very uncomfortable so he called me and said «Meet me at Babins». We eat out alot and will never step foot in this place again. If we had wanted mexican food we would have gone to a mexican restaurant… although my being Hispanic I usually cook mexican food myself! I wanted seafood… good seafood and nice atmosphere. So sad… I was hopeful… but seems like just another mexican cantina! The one star was only so I could post this. By the way the place was empty with the exception of a few people at another table that looked like friends of the so called staff.

I honestly have NO clue why people think this place actually serves good food. Yes, the portions are huge, but then you are stuck with so much bland, flavorless food.
I ordered the grilled shrimp with fried rice and vegetables on the side. The grilled shrimp was not salted at ALL so it COMPLETELY lacked flavor. The fried rice is also VERY bland! I could not handle the blandness so I did not finish it. The vegetables were the best part. They actually had some flavor and some salt. It is kind of sad to say that the best part of a meal was the cabbage, onions, and tomatoes. It was just a bad meal.
The prices are not really good for the amount of food you get, because the food is just terrible.
The service is not that great either. We were asked to order, and when we needed more time, the waitress just sat by the bar, socializing and not coming back until we asked her to.
Overall, I did not really like the food or the service here. What a disappointment.

The food here is very good but the service is absolutely horrible. I will not be returning do to the lack of customer service.

Came here after seeing very positive reviews about the food. We were disappointed. Everyone in our party of 7 tried something different but nothing stood out. I had the stuffed crab and fried shrimp with a side of fried rice. The rice was bland and boring. The only vegetable in the rice was a very few onions… no carrots or egg at all, and if there was any seasoning I couldn’t tell what. The fried dishes all tasted the same, and I’m pretty sure the seafood we were served was all frozen. On the positive side, the strawberry Margarita was quite tasty, and the service was friendly and attentive (we were there after 7 on a Tuesday night and had the place to ourselves, so it should have been). Sad to say I won’t go back, and wouldn’t recommend to this place to others. Not sure why our experience was so different from others, but the food was just boring and did not stand out at all. I’d rather have made some fish sticks at home.

Amaziiiiiing! Huge portions, variety and freshly made. The ceviche was «lemony» and fresh, the tostada waa crunchy. The fish is fried to order. The family pack is unlike any other value in town– 30 shrimps, 6 catfish or tilapia, huge portion of fried rice and an order of french fries. all for less than $ 30 feeds a family of 4 – 6 atleast. Latin music playing in the background. but not annoying. They have happy hr Mon-​Thurs 3−6pm, margaritas $ 2.50 beers range from $ 2 – 2.50 dom/​imp. Our waitress was prompt and nice. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! More people need to take notice. this restaurant is definitely a gem. Will keep coming back.

Huge portions of tasty fried seafood on the cheap. If you like shrimp you will love their special. 30 med/​lrg size fried shrimp on a mountain of fries, its enough for two people. A great deal for just over 10 dollars. I also tried the fried scallops. They are the small bay scallops but were cooked perfectly, tasted fresh and not greasy. I would get them again. Service was very good, our waitress checked on us often and our drinks were always full.

Talk about getting your $ worth. I recommend the family meal deal. shrimp, fish, fryed
is so much food! And so so good. we have this at least once a week.

Came in on the recommendation by an elite member. Fantastically delicious. Grill fish was tasty. Fried whole fish was awesome. Fairly quiet night at the place. Tables could use some upgrades but the food was terrific at a reasonable price.

Really good shrimp platter for 10.99. You get a huge plate of 30 shrimp with either fries or shrimp fried rice. Husband got the pork fried rice which he said was excellent. Will definately come back.

Tip: Great Food and Great Prices! The best value if you want need your fix for Fried or Grilled seafood!
Food: Food is very good! I was actually not expecting much from this place. I got the 3 piece Grilled Talapia. Very well seasoned and juicy. Sometimes fillets can be thin and dry. Their fillets were thick like steaks! It comes with fried rice which was also suprisingly good and steamed broccoli. Fairly healthy meal. I couldnt even finish it all. My wife got the Grilled Salmon with fried rice and broccoli. The Salmon is actually better seasoned than the Tilapia. My son loved the kids Fish and Fried Rice.
Place: Large place and very roomy. You dont feel like you are up against the other tables. The ceilings are high which also makes it very comfortable. Very clean too!
Sevice: Our server was Saul. Great guy and very attentive. Alot more personable than the hostess actually. He was very polite. We were seated quick. Food came out quick and hot.
Value: 5 STARS! Good food and great price!

There is a Golden Seafood in Katy, y’all.
I’ve been a fan of Golden in The Heights for a decade, and my friends in Katy, Cypress, Cinco Ranch and other parts of the West Houston burbs should check out this location stat. Where else can you get 30 fried shrimp and choice of fries or fried rice for $ 10?
What to know before you go. Just because the majority of the clientele and staff is Hispanic, and the jukebox usually plays Latino tunes, it’s not a Mexican restaurant! Don’t bother asking for chips and queso — or even salsa. It’s mainly Mexican-​style seafood sprinkled in with some fried rice (not kidding).
My go-​to favorites are:
— Caldo de Marisco (seafood soup — and it’s spicy)
— Ceviche and ceviche tostadas
— Fried skrimps
— They have a few heart healthy options like salmon and veggies.
— And the kiddos in my fam love the fried fish (it’s Tilapia tho)
— MICHELADAS. You can NOT visit Golden without getting a michelada with MEXICAN BEER (I rec Pacifico).
There are only a handful of differences from the Katy vs Heights location. Katy offers guacamole; and they’re fries don’t have the same batter as The Heights location.

It is not often that a name of a restaurant surprises you but I won’t lie. I am among friends here, I think LOL. I really thought that Golden Seafood was a Chinese restaurant. Even after hearing that this famous chain has great food, I never questioned the ethnicity of the food… Until I walked in!
If you’re in the mood for some fried, fresh seafood and authentic Chinese fried rice, come here. And leave that giant wad of cash at home, since this place is a total bargain.
My party of 5 was seated immediately in spacious seating areas. Brightly lit with fresh painted murals and arch ways, The high ceilings will make you feel relaxed and comfortable. Our server was attentive and all smiles as she was patient until we were ready to order. We sipped and chatted on not too tart or sweet tamarindo agua frescas, and perfectly spiced and cold Micheladas while noshing on a mountain of fresh guacamole.
Finally, when we were ready to eat, we decided on the family dinner: 30 butterflies breaded and fries shrimp, 6 giant breaded and fried catfish and a platter of fried rice for $ 25.99. (The fried rice can be sub for French fries if you want). We also ordered a ceviche tostada that was fresh and lovely as well as a stuffed crab that looked amazing.
For dessert, we all shared a giant slab of tres leches cake and a hunk of chocolate cake. Each were delicious on its own. The only thing that could have made dessert better is if they had flan or egg tarts! But hey, I love desserts.
At these prices, anyone can feel like a Baller. Next time we will check out the bar scene since there are tons of TVs that puts any sports bar to shame.
Who knows, this could be my next UYE spot. Located on Mason row in a sea of restaurants, there’s plenty of parking and even a Shipley’s donuts nearby for dessert.

The food is reasonably priced but what I hated was the fact my grilled salmon had bones! I hate fish bones! I believe there’s a Golden Seafood on Airline road and the one on Mason has a similar atmosphere – modest surroundings, generally good food and attentive staff. But darn it, I HATE fish bones so I won’t be going back.

I’ve been a couple times at lunch. It’s a good value. Basic seafood & sides, fair quantities, generally cooked correctly, with courteous and competent service, all at a reasonable price. This is not Eddie V’s, Reef or Trulucks, so if you’re expecting that, you will be disappointed. Otherwise, a good place to take care of a basic seafood fix.

Finally good food at a great price. Both my wife and I were excited to find this location so close I home.

Pros: Our food order arrived correctly and was at a good temperature. I liked the french fries and my family liked the fried shrimp. We all got to eat something. They seem to attract large families so they are probably adept at handling huge parties. There’s plenty of parking and they accept credit cards.
Cons: This dining experience was doomed from the start. My parents wanted to go to Pappadeaux’s (it’s Lent and they are vigilant about the whole no meat thing on Fridays). However, on the way to Pappadeaux’s, it began to rain and my mom saw Golden Seafood. My mother is phobic about driving during wet road conditions and so we ate at the closest seafood restaurant. Bad idea. Walking into the place causes complete sensory overload: the tile work, the freestyle paint decorations on the walls, the diner style tables & chairs, and large groups of families (2 parties of 20+ people and other tables with 8+ people) was too much. My mother has an Asian accent and only one of the waitresses spoke English. Several waitresses attempted to wait on us, but no one understood what my parents were saying. I do not have any kind of accent, but I had to repeat our orders several times before the waitress understood (using a combination of English and my meager Spanish). My parents felt that the food took too long to arrive. The fried fish and scallops were typical fried food fare; nothing special. We all agreed the fried rice was too oily and the fried oysters were too salty. We were over charged by $ 10, but the mistake was easily corrected by the English speaking cashier. Needless to say, we won’t be back. I’m sure they’re glad we won’t darken their doors again. We didn’t exactly look like the rest of their clientele and they weren’t exactly welcoming to us while we were there. It’s a shame because my mother really wanted to like this place. Before receiving her food, she kept babbling about how she hoped to eat here every Friday for the rest of Lent. Guess she’ll have to stick with Pappdeaux’s, cheese pizzas, and Church fish fries.
