Golden City Restaurant Reviews
We had a Chinese Christmas celebration at Golden City today. We were about 180 people and they still made room for others who came for lunch. There were over 10 courses which were all delicious - hot and fresh. There was a set up for music and people from our group sang Christmas carols and Chinese songs at a karaoke mic. The service was excellent. The price was reasonable. It was fun all round.

Golden City Restaurant is a place to visit for those seeking authentic Cantonese cuisine, particularly their dim sum. The shrimp dumplings are a highlight, featuring a thin, translucent wrapper and a succulent filling. The fried bean curd roll with shrimp remains a standout, with a crispy exterior and flavorful shrimp filling. It also offers a lively, bustling atmosphere with red tablecloths and the clinking of tea cups, creating a warm, old-school charm that many customers enjoy. The service is quick and friendly even when busy, and dishes are served hot, fresh, and full of flavor, showing authentic and well-seasoned Chinese cooking. The restaurant provides options for different group sizes, making it convenient for families or small groups to select meals. Customers often leave full, happy, and planning to return, praising the delicious, traditional dishes.
While the prices are on the higher side, many find it worth the quality of food and service. Parking can be challenging in downtown Victoria, but some guests are fortunate to find spots nearby. Golden City Restaurant is a good choice for those craving authentic Cantonese dim sum and a genuine dining experience, with dishes like the imperial concubine chicken receiving positive feedback for its flavors. Overall, the quality of dishes is good, making it a recommended spot for comfort food and traditional Chinese flavors.
