Danny V's the manager will try to say this is dated information, but I want to clarify to anyone reading this review that I went to this restaurant on 12/26/2025 and the photos were from that day, so their attempts at discrediting me are blatant lies. Stay away from this disgusting restaurant. It is hands down the WORST dim sum I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten dim sum literally ALL over the world.

There is so much wrong with this place.

Golden Island is a well-known restaurant celebrated for its delicious fried rice, noodles, and a wide variety of dim sum options, making it a great choice for those looking to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. The restaurant features a roomy hall, ideal for hosting events and functions. Recent banquet experiences, including a Chinese New Year celebration and an 85th birthday party, showcased the exceptional food quality and accommodating service provided by staff members like Danny Vuong. Guests praised the 9-course dinner, which included Peking duck, and noted that every dish was perfect and authentic.
While many reviews highlight the food's excellence and the fun atmosphere—complete with music and dancing—there are mixed feelings regarding the service. Some guests encountered challenges with staff communication and responsiveness, particularly during busy times. Although the dim sum experience is described as authentic and enjoyable, with carts filled with dishes, the service can sometimes be slow or confusing. Overall, Golden Island remains a popular destination for those seeking a lively dining experience with great food, especially for larger groups looking to explore a variety of dishes.
