Golden House Restaurant

The soup, pancakes, and French toast here? So good!! Awesome vibes, and the service? Top-notch. I'm part of the Buena Park community board and work in real estate locally. Honestly, this spot really amps up the neighborhood. It's smack in the middle of Uptown, making it the ideal go-to for a quick breakfast or lunch. 10/10!!

Before I even start, this restaurant accepts CASH ONLY. There is an ATM strategically located inside the restaurant. The diner is nothing to look at from the outside. But inside you’ll find an American diner atmosphere with booths and Tiffany lamps. Their clientele is eclectic and diverse. The atmosphere is friendly and vibrant. Service is super efficient with waiters moving briskly from table to table. Unfortunately we have been having typical breakfast fare of egg, bacon etc the last few days, I opted for the meatloaf, a quintessential American food I’ve never tried. We also ordered the Whiting fish and chips that came with a soup and a dessert. And we gad to order an eggs over easy, bacon and hash browns. The meatloaf was not bad as I had nothing to compare it to. The gravy was good and the mash smooth and hot. But I wouldn’t order it again. The whiting was decent but again it wasn’t their specialty. The eggs and bacon was good. It is an breakfast joint after all. Prices were fair and affordable. So through our experience, do go but order the breakfast items. Oh, and bring cash.

I had the pineapple pancakes and the Pork with mashed potatoes, gravy and bread. The pancakes were so yum! The pork though was very hard and not tasty. The service was good, and you get free coffee refills. The booths are very close to each other, so you kinda have to talk very softly. The also only take cash, not sure why. I did-not like that at all. But they do have an atm inside, according to the signs. We just walked to a chase bank atm close-by.
