Golden Island

The place is beautiful and spacious! They occasionally have live music, so I definitely want to come back and experience that. A lot of the staff doesn’t speak English, so communication can sometimes be a little tricky, but everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend going with the all-you-can-eat option instead of ordering à la carte. Not one thing we ate was even remotely disappointing—every single morsel was delicious! For the price I paid, the quality of the food, the service, and how amazing everything tasted were outstanding. What an excellent place to eat. Absolutely worth the wait, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

I only decided to come back here because of their short run promo of AYCE dim sum, cost $34 per person for 90 minutes, Golden Island infamously known for their slow service which they did not improve even with regular a la carte, now with this fiasco they did the same. They pretended to welcome you in with maybe the first round of order was fast, then started to slow down, by telling you to limit and slowing down your order, but in fact, they had the worst communication ever between the server and the kitchen plus their QR code menu order structure, some people next to my table waited the entire hour without getting a refill on their soda, some items are missing. Particularly on my order, they either sold out or the server would tell me 25 minutes later that the kitchen is still preparing it, and whether or not I would like to cancel it, duh I came to eat and you tell me you don’t have the items but still charge me full price. That’s unacceptable, also please treat your new hire nicely and train your old staffs to better their English, you can’t talk to customers like that. The kitchen does not have the food, then tell them to cook it, the menu is wrong, then fix it, your system is

Had dim sum at Golden Island recently and liked that it was busy enough to feel lively without being overcrowded. Service moved smoothly and we didn’t have to wait long for dishes to come out. The shui mai had good flavor and the tripe was one of the better dishes we ordered. Overall a nice spot for a casual dim sum meal when you don’t want to deal with the bigger weekend crowds elsewhere.

We had a Chinese New Year banquet dinner this past weekend for 21 tables. We did have some reservations about how the food quality would be, as some of us had bad experiences here in the past. However, from the time we first spoke to the banquet director, Danny Vuong, to our event itself, our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Firstly, Danny is such a an accommodating guy and very easy to work with. He also gives great suggestions on making our event a success. He was also present during our event to ensure everything went smoothly. We had a 9 course dinner which included Peking duck. However, they also gave us the remaining duck as another dish, so we had 10 dishes. Every dish came out PERFECT and authentic. We had some guests from Macau and they were truly impressed with the food! That’s saying something. We had nothing but compliments from our guests, with some commenting that we can definitely consider Golden Island again for next year’s event. Even with our packed event schedule, the staff were mindful of the timing the dishes should come out and were all still friendly and polite, not impatient nor harried. Some of them even made small talk with us while servin

We normally come here for their all day dim sum menu but decided on their dinner menu for lunch. It came out to be a very expensive and deceiving meal. Their portions are huge and price caters to banquet size of a table of 10. The fish maw soup ($27.99) was delicious and had actual crab meat and seafood, herbal, sponge items. The salted fish fried rice was not overly salted. Had plenty of fish and chicken ($24.99). Our third and final item was the steam whole fish ($58.88). The menu was deceiving when it listed items under live seafood with market value price when in reality, they do not carry live seafood. Their tank was empty. The server told us it's frozen fish shipped from Vietnam! Why am I paying $60 for a dead frozen fish! Even the receipt was rang up as daily catch market price. The fish was good and we would have never guessed that it was frozen. They need to be transparent and list the previously frozen price just like crab boil places that use frozen crawfish during off season. We felt blinded sided and cheated. A cup of tea is charged at $2.88 per person so decline if you don’t drink tea. 4/5 for food taste but 1/5 for charging market price on a frozen item and ma
