We grabbed a table at Golden Swan on a quiet Tuesday around 7pm and honestly the Peking duck alone was worth the trip, crispy skin, perfectly rendered fat, the whole thing. Our server walked us through half the menu without ever making us feel rushed, even when we kept changing our minds.

We ended up staying almost three hours just talking and ordering more dumplings,...read full review
Been coming here for years, and this place still has an old school charm. Yes they recently renovated the place, but it still feels like the place of old. The push carts are a nice touch of nostalgia, and the ailes are big enough to accommodate them. Plenty of seating for groups of all sizes.

The Golden Swan Restaurant offers a consistent and enjoyable dining experience, known for its traditional Cantonese cuisine and award-winning dim sum. The restaurant features nostalgic push-cart dim sum service, where staff roll traditional food carts past the tables, reminiscent of the Golden days. It's a popular spot on Vancouver's Victoria Drive, especially during busy morning and early afternoon hours, particularly on weekends.
While the quality of food can vary, with the fish sometimes overcooked or not the freshest, the value remains decent. The atmosphere is big, bold, and lively, filled with local families enjoying their meals. Generous portions are a highlight, with popular dishes such as honey garlic spareribs, chicken hot pot, and rice. The restaurant has a large banquet hall and VIP rooms for events, along with ample parking in front.
Although service can be hit or miss, the staff are generally friendly and attentive, with some customers noting that they are recognized by name. The restaurant has recently adjusted its pricing, with all items now costing $24 or more, making it a bit pricey for a Chinese meal. Overall, Golden Swan Restaurant is a bustling and enjoyable place to dine, though visiting during off-peak times is recommended for a better experience.
