This is a great location for dim sum. They are fast, the service is good, and the dishes are all good (not spectacular, but solid dim sum). Service is fast with consistent tea and water refills. They have plenty of carts being pushed around. If you haven't tried dim sum before, note that the cart ladies may come off as being pushy or curt. This is normal and they are just doing their jobs (selling you as many dim sum items as they can!). If you don't want something they suggest or don't want anything else on their cart, just give them a firm no and you'll be fine. You can also order dishes if you don't see it, and they're pretty fast with those orders too. The prices here are pretty cheap. The bill came out to ~60 for our party of 6 and we were all very full. The sheet that they stamp the items in is also well designed so you can keep track of the total costs (see pic). read more

Golden Joy BBQ - Dim Sum sheet - Dim Sum Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Have had their food multiple times and the food is consistently good. Highly recommend the crispy tofu and also ordering longli balls which is an off-the-menu specialty fish dish they make . The majority of the fish is sautéed but the periphery is deep fried so it's one fish wats cooked. Absolutely delicious! Tried their dim sum which is ok but not as good as Kirin Court. read more

Great quality and far less pricey than other dim sum places. Dining room lacks ambiance, but the food makes up for it. Very traditional Hong Kong style dishes. Beef stew wonton soup was excellent. Would come back again. read more

Food is mediocre at the best. It's 51 degrees today in Dallas and it's freezing inside, they are probably too cheap to turn up the heat. The place is filthy, see photo for the window ledge we sat by, so I tried not to think about what it is like in the back. The service is horrible, I don't think the waitress learned how to smile ever, and when you ask for something, she acted like we are bothering her, mind you, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Definitely will not be back!! read more

Golden Joy BBQ - Dim Sum Near Me - Richardson, Texas

New golden gem in the heart of Richardson!!! How I did not know about this spot sooner. Now I have my new spot to hit when I'm craving dim sum or roast pork. Definitely coming back and rolling in deeper! read more

Best place for dim sum and for roasted pig, ducks and every dishes they offered was amazing! The waiting stuff is by far the best among the DFW Chinese restaurant community. Our go to spot when we craved Chinese food, we picked this over First Chinese and definitely over Kirin Court all day! read more

Don't let the 3 stars make you hesitate from this place the food was good but the service and the way everything went place was disappointing and makes me feel like I would choose another dim sum place. So I walk in around 1 pm on a monday and it was packed because it was new years but there were still half the tables still open in the back of the resturant. The day was super cold and there was one table not set up with chairs missing right in front of the door. I asked if we could be sat in the back because the door was constantly opening and closing and it was really cold. The lady said no rudely and told us we had to sit there. It was my first time there and I was so confused because this place is half a resturant and half dimsum so there are people walking around with carts of food but also you can order food. So without any instruction or welcome or being asked if I wanted a drink, I assumed like any other dim sum place that you needed to wait for the carts to come over and we pick food. I waited a good 10 minutes and finally the first lady came to us. She didn't have what I wanted so I had to wait again which was no problem because it seemed busy. Another 5 minutes someone else comes around and nothing of what we wanted. Another 5 minutes nothing. Now what was bugging me was that they seemed to have nothing ready. Only foods out were like buns, jelly, and veggies. One lady finally came and asked us if we wanted water and what we were looking for. I told her that we were looking for the shrimp dumpling, soup dumpling, fried shrimp balls, and etc. She then said it would take 10 to 15 min for those to come out. We said okay and waited. Finally food came out slowly and the resturant became more and more empty. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't the best dimsum I have had. The soup dumplings tasted very gingery with chunks of ginger which was very different. The shrimp dumpling was good but I was expecting full shrimp but it was the miniced shrimp balls. Over all the food was different from the other places I have tried but it was still good just service and the way everything worked was a bit confusing. They never refilled our waters and we ended up going up to them to pay and left still hungry because we could not order much food since nothing was out. read more

Being Easter Sunday and my wife's birthday, we decided to try dim sum as it's been some time. I went on yelp to find something other than Kirin or Jengchi and came across this place. Got there today around 1145p, and the place was already about 60% full. As most people mentioned, the service is really bad here. We had to ask for water and fork 5 times until we finally received it. Overall, the food is good. Unfortunately, there's really nothing that's truly spectacular that stands out as great, but I do have tip for 2 dishes. They were both far from meeting the expectation. DO not order the almond jello. We took several bites and realized that it lacks any flavor, and no sweetness. And the fact it has an after taste of some sort of baking powder or something? Really not sure what it was, but it's definitely not the norm. The other one was Xiao Long Bao. Wow, this should be the stable for restaurant serving dim sum. Well, guess there's always the exception. The meat were dry and lack of any juice. Really, this is just the basic dumplings that's shaped like XLB. Total waste. With a family of 4, We spent about $50, including tax and tips, which is about the norm for most dim sum we've been in the past. As a 3 star, it's not something that I'll be craving anytime soon. I'm sure we'll be back, if we're in the area or if other restaurants were too full. It's more of a backup, but I'm certain the manager/owner could do better if they can just pay more attention to details. read more

Had a horrible experience tonight. The service was fine but the food was horrendous. The roasted pork was cold and flavorless, the shrimp dumplings from the dim sum menu was undercooked and the wrapping was super thick. The only half edible thing we had was the beef on sizzling plate. Although the beef tasted a little sour as if spoiled. All around horrible dinner. read more

I had high hopes for dim sum based on the yelp reviews, but perhaps I was expecting too much. The carts were efficient, I suppose, and came around regularly; however, it took four attempts to get our drinks. Whoever we asked would just look to the back and disappear whenever we asked for some drinks. They also asked us if we wanted to order anything off the menu that we didn't see on the carts, and when we did, we only saw 2 out of the 3 items. The most important part is the food in any restaurant review. Nothing really stood out. The braised stomach lining was pretty good and the taro cakes were ok. Otherwise, the har gow was bland and dry, the shumai was not very flavorful, the chicken feet were just ok. The jok was pretty abysmal (and that was ordered from the kitchen). Between my experience with the service and the food, I don't think I'm coming back unfortunately. read more

Ordered through the Yelp Grubhub online service. Meal was on time. Ordered baked pork buns, steamed chicken buns, steamed pork buns, and pineapple buns. Everything was SO DELICIOUS!!!! I ate most of the steamed buns before thinking to take a photo. What's left is the attached photo. I highly recommend the steamed chicken buns and the pineapple buns the most but the porks were good too. I just think the flavoring of the chicken buns was a bit more delicious. Going to order again soon! read more

Again, I do not strictly like to dine at the "main stream" establishments because that can be very superficial for your taste buds. With that in mind I have been dining at Golden Joy B.B.Q. for the past year and have never been let down. Whether you want Dim Sum or just plain everyday sit down food items, you cannot go wrong with this place (plus you get to avoid the atrocious wait times at kirin court and maxim). The wait staff will always greet and remember you with a smiling face if you are a regular. What I really like about the dim sum here is the fact that it is always fresh, not just sitting on the carts for possibly half the day waiting to be picked by a dining customer. They make choosing your items easier by placing picture diagrams on each one of your tables for easy ordering. With all that in mind, lets get to the food. For dim sum, I like to order meat dumplings, shrimp dumplings, congee, crispy roast pork, and shrimp balls. The dumplings are made fresh to order with the lack of any freezer smell while keeping the soft consistency and generous amounts of ingredients packed into each individual serving. Believe it or not but there are places that can screw up congee, this would not be one of them. The Crispy roast pig is by far one of the best I've had in the metroplex. Not only do they keep the pig skin nice and crispy (minus the abundance of fat/oil dripping off of it), but their cuts are always pretty lean and well flavored without ever being over powered. They provide each plate with a dipping sauce but definitely not required. Dinner portions: I've had the chow mein, jellyfish soup, beef and brocolli. Chow mein is a child hood favorite of mine and definitely done correctly here. They give you a portion that is about 2 times the amount at most other restaurants while keeping the sauce just right in flavor. The jellyfish soup is so addictive that you cannot just have one bowl....but be careful it is very hot and easy to burn your taste buds...which I have found to be worth it ahaha. When I want authentic Taiwanese food, I always come here. Although it isn't like cheers where "everyone knows your name", its the asian style where "everyone knows your face". I hope you will enjoy your experience as much as I have! read more

Golden Joy BBQ has better Chinese BBQ pork compared to their competition. The fact that they accept credit cards is way more convenient than joints that only accept cash. The staff has always been friendly and nice. We had dim sum and entrees once and it was really good. This is our new favorite place for authentic Chinese food and we drop in at least once a month. read more

I love dim sum here, and I approve this message. Now, I'm an instant gratification sort of person. The fact I can walk in, sit down, and have food in front of me before my tea has been poured makes me all sorts of happy. That's why dim sum and I have a long and loving relationship. Golden Joy BBQ does it right. At this particular establishment, people fall into two camps with dim sum. Those who dig the trolley-dolly type and those who like their dishes made-to-order. Me, I'm old fashioned and prefer the cart system. My wife, on the other hand, likes it ordered off the menu and brought fresh to the table. Whatever your taste may be, both options make for a great dining experience. At every table, there is a Dim Sum menu with pictures. Did I mention they have PICTURES to help with ordering? It comes in handy when one's mouth is stuffed with a steamed BBQ pork bun and all he has to do is point to a picture and grunt. So convenient! Now, the question most experienced Dim Sumers (is this a word?) will ask themselves: "Is it as good as Kirin Court?" I'll say this. Some things are better and some are not. In the end, its still freaking good!! The highlights of the menu: Steamed Beef Ball, BBQ Pork Crepe, Steamed BBQ pork bun, Chinese Broccoli, Roasted Duck, and Sticky rice in a banana leaf. These are the items I feel that are better here than at Kirin Court. My final tip is this. If you want to people watch or you're eating in a big group then go to Kirin Court. If you're in a smaller party and want to eat right away then come here. All in all, Golden Joy BBQ doesn't disappoint in their dim sum. read more

Roasted whole pig hanging by its legs next to the cashier, CHECK. Roasted ducks hanging next to the previously mentioned pig, CHECK. Yep, this must be authentic. I entered into this restaurant with a friend for lunch in search of something to calm our hunger. The first thing we noticed was the dim sum menu under the table glass covering. The best part, the menu under the glass included photos. I would have considered going for dim sum, but I didn't see the normal things I like to get when I'm at my regular dim sum spot. We received the regular menu from the waiter and it included multiple pages of dishes to choose from. The variety was very extensive. It also included 2-3 pages of dish photos. It's so helpful when restaurants include photos of their items when most of the menu is written in Chinese. I settled on the Combination Chow Mein, but we also split an order of BBQ and Roasted Pork. The pork came out first. I was more of a fan of the BBQ pork, but the roasted version was also tasty. I think I probably felt guilty about eating the crispy pig skin knowing how bad it was for me. When my chow mein arrived, I was impressed with the portion size provided to me. Clearly this was enough to feed 2-3 people (all for $8). The outer edges of the noodles were crispy and firm while the inner noodles had softened from the sauce. The various meats (chicken, seafood, beef) were complimented well by the sauce and noodles. I did what damage I could to my plate and then boxed the rest up to take home. It was a great price for the amount of food they served and not bad in the flavor department. Overall a good restaurant but nothing too spectacular. I would be up for going again and trying some of the other dishes. read more

So I usually enjoy going to Chinese BBQ places because of the variety in menu items and the quality of the food. Golden Joy does have an extensive menu of what seems to be hundreds of items, and I did like the decor of the restaurant.. HOWEVER, I was not impressed with the food (not even a bit). We came with a large group for a friend's birthday on a Friday evening, and this may be the reason the food was not good-- WHICH IS NOT an excusable reason at all considering the rest of the restaurant was relatively empty in the 2.5 hours that we were there. The service was mediocre. There were plenty of servers who weren't doing anything, but it seemed that we only had 1-2 servers for our large group. We constantly had to flag down our servers since they never checked up on us or gave us refills. Now onto the food: I wanted to get Orange Chicken but since I was sharing with a friend, he wanted to get the beef. I was fine with this, however the menu completely whited out the price of the Orange Beef. I've never had to pay over $8.50 for good Orange Beef/Chicken dishes at restaurants like this, and figured that the price would be consistent here as well. My food came out and I was very disappointed in the portion size of the item. There were maybe 8-10 pieces of small Orange Beef on the plate, and the food was overly sauced-- and not in a good way. I wasn't too upset at first because I wasn't sure how much I'd be paying for the dish. I accepted the food fail and moved on to share other dishes with friends. Next, I tried my friend's Flat Noodles (without gravy), and again, was disappointed that the dish had no taste or flavor, and the noodles were extremely dry. The Lo-Mein was about the same level of disappointment. Moving on to the BBQ stuff. Tried my friend's roasted duck, and another friend 's roasted pork.. The duck was extremely greasy and had more bones than it did meat, and the roasted pork was standard, but wasn't special enough to stand out. None of us talked about the food (except occasional whispered remarks of discontent), which is probably a good indicator that the rest of our party didn't enjoy their meals either. I went up to pay for my item and GRR... My Orange Beef dish came out to be around $10.59. Me saying that "I was infuriated" was probably an understatement, and I was sorely disappointed with my food fail experience. I prefer to never come back here and plan to stick to First Chinese BBQ or other similar tasting restaurants. read more

My favorite dim sum place around DFW. Although located rather deep into Richardson, it was definitely worth the fifteen minute 35 mph drive to Belt Line and N. Plano Rd. It's a small scale restaurant where it is clean. I haven't actually tried the Chinese BBQ but a small plate of roasted pork served with other dim sum items. I can't critique what's good and bad about the roast pork, but I know it's much better than the average Chinese BBQ places that I've tried before. The baked pork bun was amazing as they were served fresh out of the oven. Egg custard was my favorite, and everything else was good. We visited twice on a weekday where we had to order it on a white sheet of paper. Fortunately, they had numbers and pictures on the table for me to tell what they are. Our most recent visit was on a weejebd, and there were carts being pushed around. Food was fresh, as I watch the ladies walk in and out replacing empty carts with fresh food. Despite the traffic, the restaurant was kept clean. Will definitely go to Golden Joy BBQ whenever I think of dim sum. read more

love the dim sum here and the chinese bbq is legit. try the roast duck and the crispy skin pork. as for the dim sum, we prefer to come on the weekdays since they have dim sum all the time. i dislike dim sum on carts in any restaurants. if you come on the weekdays or non-lunch weekends then you order the dim sum and they make it fresh. little secret we don't regularly share with "outsiders". from the outside it doesn't seem like anything but booooy, is the food good. got turned on to it by a couple of friends and now we make it our "spot" instead. read more

The service was horrendous. They were forcing us to get all this food yet not wanting to give us what we were asking for. We literally asked for the same thing 5 times but they kept trying to give us something else. The root beer and soy bean milk tasted weird. I had a metal piece in my chicken feet. We will not be going here again. read more

Golden Joy BBQ - Metal piece in my chicken feet at joy golden dim sum Richardson tx - Dim Sum Near Me - Richardson, Texas

We really enjoyed having lunch with my sister and her husband. It was dim sum served at the table not on cart. that makes it just a little bit harder for us because we don't know what we're ordering and we don't see except for the pictures on the card. everything we had was really good I love the shrimp crepes and my sister dies for the sesame balls she always takes a bunch home. The shrimp spring rolls were very good so are the shrimp balls I love them. read more

Preface: This review is for the dimsum and NOT the entrée menu. Food (3/5): The Dallas dimsum scene is pretty dismal so I didn't expect much. With a party of 5, we were immediately seated at 1pm on a Sunday, a feat that is nearly unheard of at Kirin Court. For what it's worth, the place was pretty empty when our party arrived. The food was just okay. Standard fare for a dimsum place but nothing that stood out to me. Almost everything we ordered was room temperature. I'm not sure if it was our timing (late lunch?) or they didn't have any fresh batches of food, but the temperature made for a very average meal. On the plus side, the dimsum here is at a lower price point than Kirin or Maxim, so it might be better for the more budget conscious. Service (2/5): All I can say is that the waiters may be way too diligent for my taste. I understand that dimsum waiters should push their carts and ask if you're interested in any of their dishes, but these employees seemed nearly desperate to get rid of any food they had left over. Ladies would bring by random, unsolicited trays to our table, which completely detracted from our lunch. Otherwise, service is pretty average since they weren't super busy. Atmosphere (4/5): Very spacious dining area with nice tables and clean flooring. The place is well-lit and it looked like they are capable of accommodating groups of all sizes based upon the tables they have available. If you're looking for a place to grab dimsum without a long wait, this is your best bet. Don't expect super fresh food though since the food tends to sit longer, waiting for customers to show up and finally order it. read more

Went there after church with a group of around 24 people. The place had just opened 2 months ago according to the waitress. It was fairly empty and were very accommodating. We sat at 4 round tables. The waitstaff were very nice and constantly came up to us making sure our drinks and rice were getting refilled. We ordered beef with soft noodles, chinese broccoli, eggplant, kung pao chicken, duck with bbq pork combo, and the peking pork. Everything was just fine, no complaints, but the impressive part was how fast everything came out! We got our food within 10 - 15 minutes. My table was pleasantly full and the paying process was easy. They took 4 credit cards and cash from our table with no problems. read more

Authentic dim-sum and duck. When I drive from Fort Worth to visit my Chinese relatives they choose the restaurant, and this has been a favorite pick of theirs lately. The fact that when you go in and see mostly Chinese people eating is a good sign. For $8.50 you get enough seafood pan-fried noodles to feed 3. They also allow you to bring your own wine. read more

My family and I come here quite often and we're friends with the owners and employees. Experience: I always tend to run into people I know here, which is cool getting to catch up. Its typically pretty busy (which is a good sign) It's nice and spacious. The decor is nice and there is normally enough seats for everyone to fit. Food: The food is pretty good, I think the dim sum is alright. I'm generally a fan of dim sum so their food is okay, nothing extremely good. The lo miah gai (rice chicken in the tea leaf wrap) is pretty good. I mainly enjoy their on-menu Items. Service: service is okay too. sometimes it takes a while for them to serve you cause their busy, but other than that it is good. I would recommend this place, if you're looking for some good Chinese food. read more

Awful service , it took 20 for the cold food. the place is dirty it smells as soon as you walk in. Also, the water has a terrible taste and I drink a lot of water. Nobody ever smiles. The servers always have an attitude whenever I ask for something. Very disappointed, I don't recommend read more

So what this place lacks in dinner, they make up with BBQ and dim sum. First, we bought a whole roasted pig from them for our engagement ceremony. Let me say, the pig was roasted perfectly and dressed up very nicely for us. We ate some as an appetizer for dinner it was very crispy and flavorful (even though it had been hauled around for 2-3 hours). It was the cheapest whole pig sold in the area and tasted probably the best. Note: order in advance and give them about a week. I didn't even know they had Dim Sum until my parents took us last weekend. The place is small but they were able to seat us even though they were packed. They had all the basics and everything was very good. I could feel that a few dishes were missing but it didn't bother me because I got everything I wanted. The prices are average so I will definitely come back again for Dim Sum and avoid the large crowds at Maxim's/Kirin Court. read more

The best dim sum in the DFW! Service isn't the friendliest but for sure the most delicious of my favorite items (chicken feet, shumai, taro). It's a bit chaotic at first when you walk in as there isn't a hostess or front desk, but they'll fit you in. There are some tables that are "blind spots" but you just need to get aggressive and flag them down. I'm already trying to figure out how to make this a weekly thing... read more

Though there aren't too many dim sum locations in the Dallas Fort Worth area, the majority that do exist seem to be located primarily in the more Northeastern part of the city. Golden Joy is a slightly more recent entrant to the game than the other locations and is open later than you'd expect from a typical dim sum restaurant. We had 2 orders of the pork shumai, pretty standard dim sum cuisine. It wasn't as hot and fresh as it could be (we did arrive a bit after peak hours), but was pretty fair in terms of flavor. That seemed to be the general trend for most of the dishes. The ones we had to order separately (rather than pick from the cart) were guaranteed to be fresh. Our hypothesis was that because Golden Joy wasn't as popular yet as other locations (such as Kirin Court), there was no wait time to sit down, but that is offset by slightly less fresh food since there aren't as many people cycling through. I didn't expect too much out of the dim sum scene in DFW, so Golden Joy provided a pretty fair experience that was more or less what I'd expected. Total price came out to under $15 a person, and it was enough to satisfy my dim sum craving. read more

Do not let the appearance of this restaurant deceive you. The foods are good and it's affordable, tried both their dinner menu and dim sum also. When you come for dimsum on weekend, it's cart service. read more

One of the better dim sum places around town. They actually put enough tea leaves into their hot tea unlike other places around town where it's basically just lightly flavored water. One of my favorite things about this place is if you go after the normal AM-3PM window where other places have normally stopped serving dim sum; well not this place... You get to order it on the fly and they'll cook it up fresh vs. the normal carting around option. read more

Ahhh what a joy to have found Golden Joy! (corny, I know! ) This place is easy on the pocket and without the long wait unlike Kirin Court. There is a good selection of dim sum here. NOT everything here is great like the xiao loong bao or wu tao ko but the siu mai, lotus paste bun, dou hua, mini egg tart, fried yam ball here are pretty good, The winner was definitely the Peking Duck here! OMGGG...crispy skin, juicy meat, spongy man tou, fresh leeks and sweet hoi sin sauce all make for a perfect match in heaven. We ordered the "3 way Peking duck." meaning they cook the whole duck in three ways; roasted, boiled in soup broth, stir fried with vege. Everything was delicious! Did i mention that service here was pretty good but sometimes annoying too. They could not stop shoving us with food. Maybe cause we were a party of 12? Anyway, the waitress was so patient with us when we asked her to split the check 12 ways. I was ready for her to give us a black face when we said that, but NOOO, to my delight she just smiled like an angel and came back with 12 checks:) The bill rang up to 15.97 per person including tips. I thought that was pretty reasonable with the peking duck. read more

the only place I know in Richardson/Dallas/Plano/Garland area where you can order crispy pekingness duck w/out placing a pre-order a day before......it was ready in 20min!!! also their crispy skin pork was delish!!!!! friendly service and price fits the portion...this place is a hidden gem~!!! they also have dim sum on the weekends I think? I saw a few empty dim sum push carts on the side.... I'm definitely ordering from here again!!! read more

They are busy during lunch time/holidays. dinsum are available to select. You can order from the menu if you like something different. My server had never mentioned about this. i could have enjoyed my first experience here better. After gave me drink, she is gone. Food is ok. Probably would take business eleswhere. read more

There is so much to try. We ordered the BBQ Pork with roasted duck, BBQ pork dim sum, eggs rolls, and shrimp dumpling noodle soup. All of the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was excellent and courteous as well. I will definitely be going back to try some more of their delicious food! read more

Golden Joy BBQ - Pork BBQ Dim Sum, and shrimp dumpling noodle soup. - Dim Sum Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I've ate here a couple times and the food is decent. However, my last takeout order was by far one of the worst customer service experiences I've had so I will not be returning. When I went to pay for my food, the cashier got mad at me for not having the correct amount in cash. He told me to walk to the gym or nearby vendors to break my 20. He complained and yelled because he didn't have change for me. And he threw the biggest fit when he had to ask his coworker for the change. Yup, never going back. read more

Horrible service in town ! We requested stronger tea once we sat down, the waitress brought it over and of course it was not strong at all. We waited for 10 mins and requested the same waitress to put more tea leaves, she slapped the tea pot on the table and said : this is what we have... then walked away. Not just service, we ordered 4 dishes of dim sum, they charged us 5. I suggest you check your bills before you pay, we will never come back again. read more

"Golden Joy" is definitey the feeling I had after my delicious meal of dim sum here! This place is simple and the servers get down to business serving up those delectable little plates! I'd recommend this place especially to people who have never tried dim sum before or who are not familiar with the different types of plates available because at each table, they have pictures of all the dishes and numbers (up to 70!) next to them, so if you want something you just need to flag down a server and point to the one you want - so simple! Everything we had was delicious and fresh. We ordered fried shrimp balls (muh fave), Chinese broccoli, deep fried taro (never tried this, but that crispy skin was GRRREAT), shiu mai, shrimp crepe, BBQ pork crepe, pan fried turnip cake, deep fried pork football (ummm... AWESOME name, AWESOME taste), steamed BBQ pork bun, and bean curd skin roll (yeah, it sounds shady, but don't let it scare you - it's delicious). I thought the service was good, all the ladies were very helpful and brought out the dishes we requested quickly even if they weren't circulating on the carts. I onlly WISH we had enough room left in our stomachs to try some of the yummy desserts - well that only means one thing....another trip to Golden Joy is in store! read more

My mom told me that her and her friends like coming here, so I figured it must be pretty good (especially since some of them are picky eaters). This place did not disappoint! Craving you some dim sum on a weekday/night? Head over to Golden Joy BBQ. They serve all your dim sum staples every day of the week, but also serve traditional banquet style Chinese food, like peking duck. Be sure to get their sauteed eggplant -- nice crispy skin, but soft inside. Prices are decent and service is fast. read more

Am I allowed to say Fob on Yelp? I don't know, but I'm going to do it anyway. So basically I go to Kirin Court for dim sum and most would agree that they're a very solid place for that kind of thing. So when some older fob guys I know recommend a new dim sum place that is better than Kirin Court, I go there and check it out. And they were right. The food here is tastier overall and Golden Joy has some selections that are not available at my once normal place. The service here is also really good, although not in-your-face-fake-friendly if that's your sort of thing. If you're new to the dim sum scene they have pictures at every table. And finally the egg tarts here are number 2 on my list of best egg tarts ever. Number 1 is still Eck in Houston. read more

Reviewed recent Yelpers on this restaurant. I was very happy that I came!!! I am Chinese-American and have had dim sum in San Francisco, Houston, and New York. Sure, things can always be better, but, I just want to eat great Chinese dim sum! This place was very quite to seat us and "Bam!!!" The food was coming. They even have a pictogram of items they serve, which is helpful in case you're not acquainted with Chinese food or this type of service by cart. Think of it like the waiters in Fogo de Cao where the waiters bring you selective foods to your table and you say "yes" or "no". The waitresses are nice, though they might not say much in English. Everything was served fresh and HoT! I was impressed that the dining area (although not Ritz-Carlton) was clean and well kept. The shrimp crepes were silky and delightful, while the shu-mai was awesome. BBQ pork buns were to die for and the shrimp har GAO were yummy to my tummy. Prices were comparable to other resturants so no complaints there. Not cheap if you eat to blow up your stomach to a size of a blimp. I'm definitely coming back. NO HESITATIONS read more
