"Golden Dim Sum in Chinatown may be a little worn in—or just waiting to undergo a massive renovation like the shiny new digs at Fung’s and Ocean Palace—but it's the Catonese food at Golden that keeps your attention. Order everything here via the sheet on your table (with help from the full-color picture menus). Everything comes out hot and fresh at a fast clip, with the steam buns, especially the sweet and crushable BBQ pork, as standouts. And snacking on everything in a red and teal dining room straight out of a 1980s imagining of a Cantonese restaurant feels all the more fun, even without the classic cart service." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, mai pham
"Fans of '80s decor and dim sum should check out Golden Dim Sum in Chinatown. They serve dim sum every day of the week and make a mean fluffy steamed bun. So grab a paper menu and mark up as many dishes as possible with a group of friends." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"With more than 90 dim sum items on the menu — all of it photographed and prominently displayed on the restaurant walls — Golden Dim Sum offers one of the most expansive and affordable dim sum menus in the city. Home-run items include the magnificent pan-fried pork dumplings, salt and pepper squid, and the #51 fried egg custard ball with egg yolk and almond coating, but that’s not covering it all. Go hungry, bring friends, eat, and repeat." - Minh Truong
"For fans of brightly colored dining rooms, 1980s decor, and dim sum, check out Golden Dim Sum in Chinatown. It’s possible the dining room at Golden looks exactly the same as the day it opened—aggressively teal walls, gold and red dragon banners—with the only addition being a full-color wallpaper of every dish on the menu permanently adhered to an entire wall. Don’t know what Golden serves? Well, the second you shift any direction in the dining room you definitely will. And while these aren’t shiny new digs, Golden still makes excellent dim sum, especially any of the fluffy steamed buns, every single day of the week. So grab a paper menu and mark up as many dishes as possible with a group of friends or just a casual dumpling-themed dinner." - Chelsea Thomas
"Maybe you spent a little too much money on drinks last night but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a quality hangover cure. Golden’s affordable and authentic dumplings like pork shu mai or brothy xiao long bao will allow you to scarf down as many as medically necessary without breaking the bank." - Katie Holtman
