  A Love Letter to Golden House:
  
  After first moving to Silver Spring, I went through a spell where I was weak in the knees for Golden House: I could regularly convince myself to order golden house delivery multiple times a week. I freaking love their many vegetarian and vegan options.
  
  I've ordered many of their vegan options: orange chicken, mango chicken, hunan, mongolian, General Tso's, Curry veg,  
  love their meals are chock full of veggies,  many vegetable sides you can order, like asparagus and steamed vegetables.  
  
  There are different kinds of vegetarian "meat"- chicken, shrimp, beef. And "bean curd"- which surprised me by how delicious it is.  
  
  Even one kind of "meat" can also vary dish by dish.  For example, veg chicken is different with General Tso's and Curry chicken. "General Tso's chicken"uses dense chunks, but flat slices for Curry veg chicken.  
  
  I've never liked seafood, so I haven't tried their veg shrimp, but I'd love to see someone's review it and maybe one day, I'll have the courage.
  
  Golden House's veg orange chicken is extremely satisfying, but I will admit Mandarin Restaurant, which is maybe two blocks away has the BEST.  
  
  Golden House's Orange chicken are basically naked dense chunks.  Manadarin's vegetarian Orange chicken are breaded and fried and have a texture that is very similar to chicken.  
  
  However, despite Mandarin's better orange veg chicken, it is served only with rice.  Not a vegetable in sight.  The menu also doesn't have vegetable side options.  So, it feels like a junk food splurge when all I want is veg. orange chicken.
  
  For this reason, I prefer Golden House's veg chicken. It is satisfying, but it comes in a plastic serving bowl that is also colorful with many vegetables and you have the option of brown rice.  You can also order vegetable sides, like asparagus or steamed vegetables.  It feels healthier, more veggie friendly, and more like a complete and satisfying meal- not just a stuff-your-face junk food binge.
  
  Oh one more awesome thing about Golden House- it's always delivered on time, if not sooner than estimates. And it is perfectly scrumptiously hot.   While I live very close, other nearby restaurants have let me down on these two critical aspects.
  
  Welp, I've just convinced myself into ordering Golden House for dinner tonight.
  
  Bon Appetit to anyone who noshes on Golden House!

  Not my favorite.  Ordered sesame chicken but it wasn't crispy and there was a lot of extra dough inside and it also wasn't white meat so there was fat and gristle to eat around.  The lemon chicken I ordered looked similarly fried and the sauce looked very gelatinous and nasty so I didn't eat it.
  
  The wonton soup was ok but kinda greasy.
  
  There's better delivery options locally.

  I had the chicken in garlic sauce and it wasn't bad. I don't usually like to eat veggies with my rice unless it is the same consistency but the carrots, broccoli, snap peas, & green peppers were freshly crunchy, not too much though, while the cucumbers, mushrooms and onions were tender. The egg rolls were decent, not bad for something that didn't have meat.

  The wonton soup was salty, the mooshoo was good. If this was NYC, I wouldn't order again, but now that Spring Garden closed, this seems to be as good as it gets. Nothing really fantastic, but nothing really terrible either.
