SO good! And so reasonably priced! My in laws are Chinese and these kind of dim sum spots are the kind we search for. We are so used to paying $80-$100 for maybe 6-8 dim sum, so coming here was such a treat. The dim sum is actually so good; well made, well cooked, and fairly large. The dim sum service is faster than the normal menu service. There were only like 5 actual servers, so it was so hard getting someone's attention for water, ordering noodles, requesting chili oil, vinger etc things like that. If you're new to dim sum houses like this, you'll need make sure you have a list of things you know you'll need so that you ask the servers once you have ones attention. The restaurant itself can hold a lot of people! The outside might look a lil outdated but the inside is a vibe. We'll need to come back! read more

It breaks my heart to write this because I respect how hard it is to run a restaurant, but Golden Dragon has gone downhill faster than a runaway dim sum cart. And speaking of carts... I literally called ahead to confirm they had the traditional dim sum carts rolling, and was told they had the carts until 3pm. I showed up well before then, stepped inside, and discovered they didn't have carts. I was figured it was a miscommunication, so we sat down and thought to try it. Now, I always give service staff a ton of grace when a place is slammed. But there was barely anyone in the dining room, and we still received incredibly mediocre service. We had to ask our server four separate times for our drinks. When the food finally arrived, it didn't do anything to save the experience. The Chow Fun was soggy, sad, and clearly not freshly cooked, and the Dim Sum was completely unseasoned. It's sad to say, but this was our last visit. It can't justify playing $70 for bad service and bad food. Where you should go instead: - For the absolute best, authentic dim sum cart experience in the LA area, take the drive out to NBC Seafood House. - For chow fun that will actually change your life, check out Full Moon House and order the beef chow fun dry. You won't regret making the trip to either of those places. Food Taste: C Food Quality: D Service: F Recommendation: Skip it, they need to do better. Hit me up if you have a different experience, and that I should try them again. But until then... peace out! read more

This seems to be one of the few traditional dim sum places left in Chinatown. When I say traditional, I mean carts being pushed and people putting plates of food right in front of you and then asking if you want it?!?! It's all part of the experience that I would have no other way. Honestly, it's comforting having a spot like this still in Chinatown.

Golden Dragon Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Still coming back after all other dim sum in the region. And Alhambra has become exceedingly pricey these days. Having a simple but functional great dim sum place with reasonable mains is a staple for those last minute yearnings for something tasty. The menu is a bit streamlined for non banquets now, to help keep costs controlled. But they still get live lobster and crab. And service has been consistent over the years (gold vests handle the table, red handles the food delivery, black is your payment contact) read more

Golden Dragon has been around since the 1970's when I may have gone there with frat brothers who wanted to introduce me to their native Cantonese cuisine. Golden Palace across the street was another go to. Memories are faded due to the long number of years ago, binge drinking alcohol, and going to the Dragon after midnight to eat Chao Fun, Jok, Singapore style rice noodles to absorb all the alcohol. Golden Dragon hasn't changed much, but after the Pandemic, it closes at the early hour of 9pm. This luncheon was organized by the Culinary Historians of Southern California so we dined in a banquet room with intricately carved paneled ceiling and walls depicting palaces & pavilions that seems to be plucked right out of the Forbidden City. 1) Pan Fried Mixed Seafood and Leek Dumplings: Fatty, soft, ground pork flavoured possibly by fermented oyster sauce with plump, firm, oceanic, sweet shrimp, green onion leaf, all wrapped with a snappy, thin, wheat wonton wrapping. This first course was the highlight of the banquet. 2) Pork stuffed Won Ton with shrimp, Cha Siu, shredded chicken, carrots, mushrooms, green pea pods. Only wish is for the soup to have satisfying Umami instead of being barely flavored warm water. 3) Chicken Chop Suey with broccoli, Gailan, carrots, mushrooms in a corn starch thickened "sauce" which again lacked Umami. 4) Braised Bean Curd with Eggplant and Bamboo Shoots in what may be Hoisin Brown Sauce. Then the Fried Tōfu, eggplant are braised in the sauce along with bamboo shoots. Hoisin is a rich, sweet Miso which gave a stronger, earthy, fermented taste profile. 5) Fried Calamari with Spicy Salt has a mostly corn starch batter that comes out airy, light, extra crispy, but the squid is so over fried that the texture is extremely dry & leathery. 6) Pan Fried Rock Cod Fillet was thankfully not over cooked with soft, moist meat with red & green Bell Peppers, onions in humus-moldy, funky Black Bean Sauce that worked well. 7) Pan Fried Garlic Long Beans still retained their bright green color, al dente, with toasty garlic. 8) Cha Siu Pork Chao Mein with Thin Wheat Noodles: Rather dry with paltry pieces of pork, but I put on ingredients from the other dishes that fortified the Chao Mein. 9) Hong Kong Egg Custard Tarts: Originally called Pastel de Nata from Portugal. It was introduced to China when the Portuguese established the colony of Macao not too far from Hong Kong. Since that time, Dan Taht, where Dan is Cantonese for egg and Taht is from the English word tart, has been a staple of Dim Sum repertoire. This egg custard with a flakey pastry cup has been modified by China and the British when Hong Kong was a colony. Service by some of the younger staff was good although some old school guys accidentally bonked my head while serving or couldn't be bothered to answer a simple request, but fortunately the newer guard seems more responsive. The only weak point was the lack of a satisfying Umami in some of the dishes which could be amplified by use of more concentrated broth of some kind which adds to the food cost and therefore not used. The banquet luncheon was $30/person so was very reasonable. 3+ stars read more

I have been coming here since I can remember as a little girl and still to this day it's the most nostalgic feeling being white and having dim sum.

Being in this old building brings back so many memories! read more

Our gang of seven came here after the 2026 Firecracker 10K...along with dozens of other groups. Decor transports you to China, or at least what I imagine China would be like. Dim sum is the popular option. While most order it from the menu, they do come around with a few items from time to time carried on red plastic trays. There is a wonton cart that makes the rounds too. It's easy to overdo it here with so many tasty dishes. It's best to come as a large group. I can't give you a run down of what we ordered. Truth is, it doesn't really matter. But I've captured a photo of the first items they brought us. The total bill came out to $17 per person. Very reasonable price for a full lunch these days. Not sure about parking here. We rode the metro, which is just around the corner. read more

Enjoyed a quick lunch on Saturday at this huge temple of classic Cantonese gastronomy. Dishes sampled were braised tofu with eggplant and old-fashioned Chinese chicken chop Suey. White rice. Dessert was egg, custard tarts and fortune cookies. We thought it was all very tasty. We took home at least half of the food for another meal. We loved the complimentary hot tea that they set down as soon as we were seated! The restaurant is very atmospheric and fun to see. We were seated in the smaller room. Although they have dim sum carts at lunch, we came at the very end time and were looking to order off the menu. White tablecloths were so nice, but we did not like the thin white paper napkins that barely covered our laps. That was probably the only thing we wish was different. A big plus was the complementary valet parking and the very congenial attendants! read more

Always a solid choice when you're craving dim sum for brunch. We were seated right away when we walked in, which was a nice start. Once we sat down, I noticed the tables didn't have the usual chili oil and soy sauce that most dim sum spots keep out. Instead, they bring out two small sides of chili sauce. The service isn't amazing, but that's pretty much expected at dim sum places. We came in a little after noon and were given the paper menus at the table to mark what we wanted. After placing our order, the food came out without much follow up from the staff. They don't really check in once the dishes hit the table, but if you need anything you can flag someone down, just expect it to take a bit of time. That said, the food quality was good overall. Nothing really stood out, but that's mainly because most dim sum tastes pretty similar to me. Still, it's convenient, reliable, and a place I'd come back to. read more

I was pretty excited for this place since everyone claims it's the best dim sum in chinatown but it was quite disappointing :/ The har gow was weirdly mushy and the flavor was not good. The shrimp noodle roll is one of my favorite dim sum dishes but it was also not flavorful here and the shrimp was mushy. The chicken feet was okay and the bbq bun was dry. The shumai was not bad and the pork ribs were good, but everything else was just not good so I wouldn't return. read more

Golden Dragon Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went on a Sunday around noon and it was pretty busy. No waiting, luckily, but what you would expect at a dimsum restaurant. Workers were just like any other worker, not really much service but kind of what i would expect, especially for someone who eats dim sum often in la and oc. Everything looked clean and werent too messy. Table cloths are always changed after so thats good. Need some renovating but honestly, the old look makes the place feel like nostalgia, with a lot of loud conversations all around you. Where most of the ratings, I would say goes to the food. Honestly, the food looked really good but was really bland. I tend to eat my dim sum with chili oil and soy sauce, but even then there were no depth of flavor in the har gow and shu mai. I did like the chicken feet, that was flavorful, and the shrimp rice paper (which you cant go wrong with), but everything else was not up to my standards. both baked snd steamed pork buns were'nt bad either. The custard bun however was really sweet. It was good but i could not eat it without drinking water, if they cut down on the sugar, this wouldve been amazing. So unless you really like sweets, then i would recommend but if youre not a big sweets person i would steer away. Overall, i would say this place is not bad, just not good either. I would go if there werent any other places around, but i'll try some other places to see if its good. read more

Everything here was pretty cheap in terms of their dim sum! Items are priced from A, B, C and D. It's a better deal when you go on a weekday because items from A-C are only $4.80 and D items are $7.50. On weekends or holidays, A items are $4.80; B items are $5.50; C items are $6.50; and D items are $7.50. We ordered 10 A items, 1 D item and a drink which only came out to $59.95 before tips! We were so shocked at how cheap it was as dim sum can normally go up to $100 for 2 people (at least with the amount we usually order lol). Now for the flavor, everything was average. My favorite items were their dim sum and the steamed tofu skin rolls. If I want something inexpensive though and a quick dim sum meal, I'd totally come back to here. The staff were also super kind and it felt homey in an unfamiliar city~ read more

We went to Chinatown today to reminisce about the times going to Golden Dragon growing up! When you walk in you're transported to another place and space in time. It's magical! The servers are on point...fast, friendly and anticipate your needs! The food...the F O O D IS out of this world! Transpirted directly from China! Be a little careful ordering, it's definitely family style! Such big portions!! Clean restroom, parking is very expensive but I found street parking! Make sure to look! read more

It's always a great choice for excellent chinese food in Chinatown, you hit up Golden Dragon. We came in on 1-21-26 around 7:30pm for dinner. We ordered house special chow mein which is my favorite along with sweet and sour pork, mongolian beef which is amazing and kung pao. The staff are great, very nice and welcoming always to their restaurant. It was quite busy at the restaurant with several people there made for a nice evening. The restaurant is always clean and presentable. Every single dish comes out exactly how it should be, nice and hot and good. read more

It's decent dim sum. Located in Chinatown so that gave it home turf a theme/atmosphere/vibe boost. In addition, this restaurant has been open for a very long time so it's become a known landmark in the area, so I totally do rec stopping by once just to check it off ur bucket list. No dim sum carts unfortunately. "Free" parking on-site (but it's valet so u gotta tip the staff right?). Otherwise gotta be looking for street or paid parking spots. Notable items I enjoyed were the eggplant and shumai. Will pass on the steamed tofu skin roll (too salty) and xlb (actually hard to find a dim sum place with good xlb in general, just go to an xlb restaurant for it). If you can make the trip, def try going to SGV instead for some fresh dim sum. read more

Dropped in here yesterday b/c Broadway Cuisine (the former Plum Tree Inn) was closed and was pleasantly surprised. Lots of Cantonese dishes to choose from, the room was quiet and pretty unoccupied (it was a Saturday evening), and the service was friendly and engaging. The egg rolls were pretty "meh", but the fish with black beans and yang chow fried were just fine. The latter had a nice amount of "wok hey" and they were generous with the shrimp and "lap cheong" Chinese sausage. Speaking of "generous", both orders were large, more than enough for 3, even maybe 4, hungry people. They apparently have a parking lot, which is a huge plus in C'town, but we took the Metro to the Chinatown stop and walked over. Either way, give this place a go if you like "old-school" Chinese food: not fancy but tasty and well-made. They have a full bar along with beer & wine, too. read more

Golden Dragon looks and feels like an OG dim sum place. It's located at the heart of Chinatown and has ample parking (street and right around the side). We have been searching for a worthy dim sum pace and it looks like we have found it! My wife loved the Har Gao, shumai, and xiaolong bao and I went crazy for the chicken feet and spare ribs with the black beans. The pork buns were average but the sesame balls were to die for. It's quite a drive from where I live hut it is definitely a place that we will be visiting again. read more

Golden Dragon Restaurant - The spread! - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is such a good value and tasty dim sum spot in Chinatown. I tried the siu mai, chicken feet, harcow, shrimp and leek dumplings, custard tart, sweet bbq pork bun, mango pudding, and sesame balls. Everything was made to order and was very tasty. The siu mai was very juicy and one of the most flavorful that I have had. The egg custard tart was nice and flaky and not overly sweet. Nothing was too salty and I was quite satisfied. The prices are also very affordable and a great deal on weekdays. Items A-C are $4.80 on weekdays. Ordering was a breeze and the waitress was very friendly and prompt. I asked for some hot sauce and mustard and they happily packed it for me. There is plenty of free parking. The restaurant looks like an antique Chinese restaurant with the dragon furniture, red lanterns and red table cloth. read more

I came here with a friend for a Sunday lunch since our motel was in the area. Although this is the number 1 dimsum place recommended in LA Chinatown on Yelp, I can't help but feel deceived by some of these 5-star reviews. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Chinatown subway station. The restaurant has large capacity and is set up Chinese banquet style. However, it is not well maintained, including the bathroom in the back. The servers were efficient. The menu was quite limited in dishes and the food was mediocre at best. It is not cart-style, but there were servers bringing around dishes. Although service was very fast, all the dishes were lukewarm. We got 5 dishes for 38 dollars including a pot of tea, tax, and tip, which is not the worst for sit-down dim sum. We got the following: 1. Shrimp rice roll (5/10) - average 2. Fried shrimp ball (4/10) - came breaded instead of the usually crispy flakes 3. Turnip cake (6/10) - a little mushy 4. Siu mai (6/10) - pieces were pretty big 5. Spareribs in black bean sauce (2/10) - not great cuts of meat, flavorless Given that I'm more used to dimsum lounges that are filled with old local Chinese grandmas and grandpas in San Francisco Chinatown, this restaurant is nothing more than a tourist trap given that everyone was clearly non-local. I would not recommend this place at all to anyone looking for good dimsum. To be fair, the LA Chinatown area is pretty deserted and dead so it could still be the best in the area... From what I've read, most of the good Chinese spots are located in San Gabriel Valley. read more

Ordered a bunch of dumplings which was ok. Keep in mind we ate here Saturday 3/7-lunch time. Also ordered a beef stew and beef tripe which I KNOW for a FACT we got FOOD POISONING from. 4/5 of us ate the beef stew & tripe and all 4 of us who ate it woke up at 3am (the following day 3/8) with stomach aches and had diarrhea. The person who didn't eat it didn't experience what we did. I threw away all my left overs that we took home. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT COME BACK HERE AGAIN UNFORTUNATELY. read more

If you want to plan a date, go here and then take a walk in Chinatown central, then grab dessert at a boba shop or bakery nearby. Have fun! read more

Split the table and we started ordering off the old school method of paper order and menu. No carts. Decore has the old 80s Asian restaurant flair and clean entrance with a dark emblem and golden yellow flair. Ordered typical items seen on the photo and it all came out really delicious.

Golden Dragon Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Their decor was definitely cute and had that old-school Chinese charm, but unfortunately, the food just wasn't it. I've had dim sum at countless spots around the SGV, so we decided to give this one in Chinatown a try, knowing it might lean a little more Americanized or touristy. The dishes overall were pretty bland. Siu mai and har gow were just okay, but the rest of the plates all fell flat with muted flavors. The shrimp balls and egg rolls were the worst of it. They both had a sour taste, almost like they weren't fresh. A lot of the other items also weren't hot, as if they'd been sitting around for a while. When we told the staff about the shrimp balls and egg rolls, she said they had just "gotten a fresh box" that morning (which makes me assume frozen and fried). After we insisted we didn't like them, she grabbed the plates, tossed them into the dish bin in an abrupt and rude manner, and took them off our bill with a pretty rude attitude. Safe to say, I won't be coming back. read more

Probably the best dim sum in Los Angeles. This place is a timeless establishment. The dim sum is pretty good, although they have pairs back their offerings in the last several years. But you will still get your traditional dishes. You have to order from the list and the wait staff goes in the back to get it. Service is like almost every Chinese restaurant / sometimes they are rude, some times they are nice. read more

We've been to China Town many times, but I don't recall trying Golden Dragon Restaurant because we always go there after lunch. Golden Dragon Restaurant has been around in Chinatown for many years. We went there for dim sum at around 2 p.m. on Sunday, it was a bit late for lunch but it still had many people there. We saw a group of tourists just left before we entered the restaurant. It's spacious inside and they have many Golden Dragon decors on the wall because they are related to their restaurant name. We ordered 9 dishes of dim sum for 3 of us. They were Har Gow, Chicken feet, steamed spareribs with black bean sauce, turnip cake, egg roll, shrimp rice roll, shrimp & leek dumplings, beef stew, and mango pudding. The dim sum quality was not bad, we liked the shrimp & leek dumplings the most because they had a lot of shrimp & leek inside. Har Gow had big shrimp inside but the skin could be thinner. We also liked the shrimp rice roll (shrimp cheung fun), mango pudding, etc. I didn't eat chicken feet but hubby and my mom thought they were mediocre and could be more flavorful. The turnip cake was too thick and the top part did not pan-fried enough time so they were not crispy. The price was pretty good, weekend price item A cost $4.60/per order, item B $5.50/per order, item C $6.50/per order, and item D $7.50/per order. Overall, I would give it a B rating. read more

Sunday, Jan 19 '25, 1030 am. Valet parking free with validation, 2 hour max time limit or $10 charge as printed on the ticket handed out by the car valet team. Grade A on the door! Fantastic! Crowd factor... Not as busy. However, an hour later, it's busy in the dining room and noisy! My go-to dim sum items... My favorite are shu mai and the deep fried shrimp balls. They do not taste the same as they aren't pushing carts around. I'm an OG from back in the day and my theory is it's a change in management? A cut back in the labor force and food costs I suppose. I tried the egg tart and sesame ball... It's not as sweet as before. Cutting back on sugar? Or is it that you have a new chef or new recipe. My theories seems to make sense. The service seems to have to a step up? Just seems with less cart pushing, there's more waiters checking on the table to increase items added to the bill. The check total came to $180+change for a party of seven. The rear men's restroom... Clean factor is passable but not wheelchair accessible. It's definitely different now at Golden Dragon, cost cutting definitely in play here in 2025. read more

Have you watched an old classic Cantonese movie with casts like Chow Yun Fat or Jackie Chan? Inside this restaurant is literally like a set for these old classic Cantonese movies. I sat next to two families screaming in Cantonese and they were screaming at each other. The only thing missing are grandpas with birdcages and some uncles reading today's newspaper with one dish. So I came with a good friend and she is from another Asian country. We both agree that it is 7/10. The steamed bbq pork buns had a hint oolong tea in it. Maybe the steam or the tea leaves they used is next to the food? Not sure. The shrimp rice noodle was saved by the flavorful soy sauce and my friend asked: "where is the shrimp (love)?" I am really trying to give this place good marks because it is a such iconic place but the har gow really got me... my first bite I tasted bone and the skin was super soggy...

I dunno about this place.............. I'll give it 3 for now. It wasn't the best dim sum. They don't do carts anymore, the food is below average, the service was nice though and the space was big. Some stuff came out cold, some stuff just didn't taste that good. I love chicken feet so I'll just speak on that haha. It was on the sweeter side, not that gelatinous, texture was also not as meaty as I would have liked it. It's a simple flavor of that sweet red, but not the depth of the black beans. Not sure how to explain it, but it's not it. read more

This restaurant is conveniently located across the street from Phoenix Bakery. I hadn't been here in years, but I had a nearby appointment and felt like some Chinese food. I ordered sweet and sour rock cod, broccoli with beef, house special pan fried noodles, and house special fried rice. The food was attractive and good although the gravy for the pan fried noodles was definitely subtle and not real strong in flavor as is characteristic of Cantonese food. Next time, maybe I'll try some of their dim sum. The workers were nice. Prices were reasonable compared to other Chinese restaurants I frequent. They have 2 hour validated parking in their convenient adjoining parking lot, but they encourage you to tip the parking attendant which kind of defeats the purpose. read more

Golden dragon was a wonderful choice considering the many options to eat in Chinatown. Stars of the show included the fried calamari and the sizzling beef. For seafood, we had the fish with vegetables and it was a delight. Prices were reasonable and you get good value. Reason for the minus 1 star is that we would have given a 4.5, but Yelp does not allow. Environment is family friendly and the restaurant had a lot of space!!!!

Was in Glendale but the craving for dim sum set in. To satisfy my desire for these delectable Chinese small dishes, we drove back to Chinatown. At any rate, if you're looking for an authentic and budget-friendly Asian brunch experience, Golden Dragon is the spot. Don't be swayed by the negative remarks on the app. Everyone's experience is subjective, explore at your own risk. What you won't find here are rolling silver carts of steaming dishes. What you will find though, are tables purposely aligned for easy traffic. Waiters in their uniforms, taking drink orders and ladies efficiently bringing your chosen dishes from the kitchen. I ordered the faves: braised chicken feet, pork siu mai, har gow, shrimp rice rolls, and fried shrimp balls. The addition of the cold seaweed salad was a good choice because it served as a palette cleanser in between the dishes. It was satisfyingly delicious, and no, did not miss the rolling carts. Unassuming and unpretentious, Golden Dragon is siu mai type. read more

I've been going here since I was near 2 years old. This places food is so tasty and always is prepared before being served so it's always hot. The service is great however because I speak English only and I have a speech disorder they might not understand me but that's ok they are still kind. They've never been rude and they always are so polite. Every time I go to China Town I go here since it's one of the best foods in China Town. Also the green tea is so good! Lastly the food and drinks are cheap for such a big meal so it's a restaurant you should definitely go to! read more

Here's all you need to know: Ni. Wong. Bao. If you are a fan of the most amazing baked (not steamed, ugh) dessert bun, this is your place. Flaky, fresh, warm with the most delicious yellow yolk inside, it's hard to find at most dim sum places, but here it is! 奶黄包! OK, I'll jump off the ni wong bao soapbox. Golden Dragon is an old school dim sum hall. The carts are gone, but 50 workers are there, running around collecting your menu slips and refilling your teapots. Parking lot right next store. We usually judge our dim sum places by the har gow, and Golden Dragon gets high marks -- the shrimp are big and the skin not too thick. Total cheat meal? The calamari is a hit. I'm not a chicken feet person, but everyone at my table gobbled them up. Pre-Covid, there were two other giant dim sum halls -- Empress Pavillion and Ocean Seafood -- both gone. Show Golden Dragon some love! No wait here, as this places seats about 10,000. read more
