At Golden Sand Harbor, everything just felt right. The tea came in cups with a clever grooved design — so hot we wrapped them in napkins, and the staff immediately brought extra without us even asking. Small touches like that set the tone.
The food was excellent: Singapore noodles light and flavorful, har gow and shumai perfectly done, and the beef tripe that the gentleman at the door suggested — exactly the authentic taste I remembered from Shanghai. He knew what I meant, and he was right.

Labor Day weekend means getting a break from cooking. This time, we opted to go to Golden Sand Harbor in Dublin, Ca. The restaurant offers a lot of Chinese Food options from the menu plus an all day Dimsum, so there’s plenty of variety to choose from, depending on how hungry you are. Tonight, we were craving for Dimsum!
Our dinner choices were shrimp fried rice, steamed rice noodle with shrimp, stewed beef with turnip, chinese brocolli, clam and chicken feet, both in black bean sauce, pork soup dumpling and scallop/shrimp dumpling and a spongy malaysian cake for dessert. We also ordered the kupo tea, a mix of black tea and sunflower petals.
The Chinese brocolli was perfectly done, with it’s stem being crispy and the top leaf being soft but not soggy. I’m glad the oyster sauce was served on the side so I can control how much I need. The noodle wrapper was fresh and delicate, with shrimp being plump and generous. My daughter loves her pork dumplings. My hubby enjoyed the beef turnip. The scalloped was kind of overcooked but still tastes great. I’m torn with the fried fried. I felt like it could use a little salt but with all the food being tasty, maybe not being salty enough is perfect. I personally enjoyed the clams and the soft chicken feet, being my favorite dimsum items.
The cake was perfectly steamed as well, very spongy and soft. You can eat it on it’s own or dip it with some of the sauce from the beef stew or chicken feet and it tastes great also.
Overall, this place satisfied our cravings!

Golden Sand Harbor is a fantastic dim sum restaurant for gathering with friends and family. Compared to other dim sum restaurants in the area, it is more affordable and easier to find seating. The atmosphere is quieter, and I appreciate the calming ambiance compared to other crowded dim sum places. My favorite dishes include BBQ pork pastry, siu mai, steamed BBQ pork buns, pan-fried turnip cake, and shrimp rice noodle rolls. There's ample parking, and the staff is friendly and speaks good English. The service is quick, and the food quality is above average. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant more often.

Definitely make reservations or you’ll be waiting for a table. We came here for Fathers Day and I’m so glad we did. The service is very friendly and the food is excellent. Came here with a group of 8 and had a lovely meal. Shumai is especially large portion. Recommend Hong Kong noodles too

Good diem sum restaurant. Good selection, fair portion, tasty, and fair price.
Food is just ok, but prices are very high. Many other better places to eat in Dublin and Pleasanton.

Great Dim Sum! Very attractive restaurant. White table cloths, wait help dressed nicely. Broad DimSum menu as well as full regular menu. Bottom line, very fair prices for excellent DimSum.
