This restaurant has been around for a long time serving Cantonese cuisine in Milpitas. They have dim sum available during lunch in addition to their regular menu items. A few dishes they do well here are the salt and pepper spare ribs (pork chop), salt and pepper fish fillet, dried scallop with egg fried rice - all their varieties of fried rice are yummy. Servers are courteous but if the restaurant is busy, servers don't come around as often as they should. You may have to flag them down. I recommend asking for everything up front if you don't see what you want at your table. For example, certain condiments or dipping sauces for your dim sum or glasses of water, extra napkins, etc. Request that stuff when the wait staff first show up or when you order. The ambiance is your typical Chinese restaurant. Simple and clean enough considering how long this restaurant has been in business. Nice chandeliers. Busy on the weekends for those coming in for dim sum. Restaurant is a decent size and has tables that are good for larger parties as well. Located in a busy plaza which houses many eateries near Lion Supermarket. read more

This place shocked me...I liked it! I have been here several times now to wait out the traffic in the Bay Area after work. The staff is friendly and nice including the owner who knows my go to meal which is beat tendon stew with turnip. I have had other dishes and they are all superb and delicious. Not sure what all the complaints about the food are but I have dined in a lot of Chinese dim sum places including Koi Palace and I love this place more. I have not ordered a dish I did not like and I have tried quite a few of the chef specials already. Ambiance is huge and wide open with nice tables and cloth. I go after work at around 7pm and there is a nice spattering of regulars but I know this place gets crowded in the weekend.. Price is fair but the food and ingredients high quality so I don't care as good food trumps price. I love this place and am happy the owners and staff recognize me. The food is superb and tasty and the ambiance perfect when not busy. I highly recommend coming here for an awesome food and chef to table experience! read more

Been here a few times & unfortunately, the quality & flavors of the dishes are not very consistent. On some days, everything is perfectly delicious, on other days it's very bland. My family enjoys ordering the sets/combos - particularly the fish porridge & chow fun b/c it comes with dim sum of your choice in the following categories (1S, 2M, 1L, & 1K), but the porridge is a hit & miss sometimes. read more

Door dashed dim sum for dinner from Golden Sun. The ordering was simple. Packaging for delivery was done well. The container for the deep fried shrimp had a cut to ventilate and prevent the dish from getting soggy. $60 including tip for 6 dishes. The chicken feet was ok. I think the flavor could be more savory and the amount was less than I'm used to seeing. The best dish was the bbq pork buns. The buns were soft and pillowy, and the bbq pork was just the right amount to bun. Other dishes that I ordered were egg yolk buns, har gow, and siu mai. Basic dim sum dishes and helped with the craving. It's probably best to have dim sum at Golden Sun Palace during their dim sum hours. read more

This strip mall is packed on Sunday mornings. Good luck trying to find a parking spot haha! But Golden Sun isn't too packed which is nice. You can call ahead to reserve a table if you have a large group. Food is ok. Some of the dim sum dishes are meh but they do come out quick. So if speed and not waiting around is what you like, GS is a good Sunday brunch "yam cha" spot. read more

First of all, this place offers free tea! I haven't been to many dim sum places in the bay where it offers free tea. You can tell that this is a local favorite as mostly families/elders are sitting around you. The dim sum was pretty good! I would say that the best item was the chicken feet! Super flavorful but not salty! I also love how the spongecake is made out of brown sugar, so it's not too sweet! I would definitely come back! The pricing is super reasonable as well! read more

Golden Sun Palace is located in the City Square Center. Parking is ok, depending on when you come. I've been here many times for dim sum or family dinners. Spacious place, good for wedding receptions and events. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive! All the staff workers provided great service! I only ordered a few things but filling enough for me. Scallop Dumpling - decent sized dumpling filled with shrimp and a couple of bay scallops. Fried Sticky Rice w/Chinese Sausage - topped with a little scrambled egg. One of my favorite dishes. It always reminds me of going to SF to visit my grandparents. Spiced Beef Varieties - I hardly get a chance to get this dish and that's a good thing as it's high in cholesterol. This place makes it so well! A good variety of the usual in this dish but my favorite is the "ngoh bong". Nobody knows the English equivalent. Some say the pancreas, others the lungs. LOL. Chrysanthemum Tea - my waiter brought it to me saying [Cantonese], after eating the offal, this tea is good for digestion or cutting the cholesterol. [My English translation of my limited Cantonese. LOL] Support your local business. read more

This place doesn't seem to get too busy. I've been here a handful of times abd were always seated within a few min olif not right away. I usually go on the weekend for their dimsum. Parking situation is another matter. That plaza is busy and parking can be difficult depending on time of day. The dim sum selections were fairly limited compared to other restaurants I've been. But, they do have the cheapest prices I've seen so far. Staff walk around and you just wave one down if you need anything. Other than that, place was clean and not too loud. Its a nice staple dim sum restaurant. read more

Came in before noon Sat.. Got seated right away. Nicely lit inside. No music but a few TVs on with Cantonese? Tv shows. Had carts coming around as well as able to order off menu. All good here pretty traditional Cantonese dim sum. Dishes: Sui Mai- nice sized, excellent examples of the dish. Nice amount of meat, not greasy. Steamed bean curd skin roll with pork and shrimp- pretty filling though light feeling. Stuffed densely. Again not greasy. Durian puffs- nice light crunchy outer shell and plenty of creamy durian inside. My favorite of the bunch today. Preserved egg pork congee- nicely done, decent amount of pork inside. Add white pepper to make flavors pop more. BBQ Pork puff- Again nice crispy outside plenty of fillings inside. Overall a very enjoyable dim sum and pretty economical. Liked the staff and speed of service. Will be back. read more

Came here on a late Thursday afternoon for my best friend's Graduation lunch. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious with lots of natural light beaming in. The staff is super nice and attentive since it was not busy - we were practically the only people there. We were a table of 7. Ordered a bunch of dim sum and also noodle dishes (including lobster) and a Peking duck. Food was adequate - it wasn't the best but it wasn't inedible either. Honestly, for everything to only come out to $200 for 7 people that included lobster and a duck, id come back read more

The last time my family and I came to Golden Sun Palace was on 12/16/2019, right before the beginning of the pandemic. That was a good day because we got to hang out with some close family friends and relatives over dim sum. Exactly five years later to the date, my family and I made our return here for a dim sum outing. The place was pretty quiet when we walked in at noon. One of the staff greeted us and she led us to a table by the windows. The interior was clean, and did not appear to have gone through any renovations since the last time we were here. Our server got us tea while we perused the vast dim sum menu. As soon as she returned, we placed our order. We ended up getting eight items plus beef chow fun. Our food started to arrive in 15 minutes, in stages. The first thing we noticed was that the dim sum items were made in-house instead of premade. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality. Everything was on point for the most part, and they did not skimp on anything. If I had to nitpick, I would say the beef chow fun was a bit greasy and the har gow skin was somewhat mushy. Service we received was very good. Our server was friendly, polite, and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. Dim sum items ranged from $4.95 to $9.95, and the beef chow fun was one of their daily specials at $11.95. Tea charge was waived. The total, with T/T, was about $77. Based on this experience, we will definitely return! BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site. - Major credit cards accepted. - Their tip suggestions are based on post-tax amount. - Check out their weekday daily specials, which include noodle/rice dishes, entrée items, and dim sum combos. - No tea charge. read more

Golden Sun Palace - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

My family had been craving Peking duck for a while so we decided to check out Golden Sun Palace in Milpitas for an early dinner. The 7 of us got to the restaurant at opening (5:30) on a Sunday and were one of the first parties there. It's a standard family-style Chinese restaurant in terms of decor and ambience - you're there for the food, the family, and not much else. We ordered the A combo and added their lobster noodle on the side. They use the duck bones left over from the crispy Peking duck to make into a thin but richly flavored broth that acts as the appetizer. Then came the Hainanese chicken, boiled and served with a garlic-ginger sauce, the rich and oily lobster noodles, the fried salt and pepper fish filet, the bok choy, and finally the star of the night: the Peking duck. After smearing oyster sauce on the provided steamed buns, sandwich a piece of duck skin and a few green onion slivers between the sides and dig in. It's so oily I usually give in after 2 or 3, but it's more than worth it. At the end of the meal they provide a plate of house baked butter cookies in place of fortune cookies (as if the meal couldn't get any heavier). Grab a takeout box for leftovers and you're set. Parent approved! read more

1.5 stars, rounding up to 2 I suppose disclaimer - I only came here instead of yin ji chang fen bc I wanted 咸水角 & figured we might as well try a new place lol moderately sized restaurant, got seated quickly teacups were all dirty/sticky - I asked for a different one, but the replacement was ALSO dirty lol ... so I just drank out of my own water bottle chow mein - 6/10 wasn't expecting the thing noodles lol , kinda dry &hard to swallow, not a lot of toppings & was pretty much all just noodle shrimp chang fen - 7/10 avg but honestly probably the only thing I didn't have a complaint about here har gao - 6.5/10 skin was mushy & fell apart, inside was fine you tiao chang fen - 6/10 avg but kinda lacked taste somehow chicken feet - 6.5/10 flav was fine, texture felt a little off, also the meat was hard to get off the bone - other places do it so well the meat usually falls off char siu bao - 6.5/10 avg maybe a little dry taro ball - 6/10 pasty & felt undercooked calamari - 5/10 very mid, my friend ordered this but lol just get calamari from an actual boba shop or Japanese restaurant siu mai - 6.5/10 avg but skin was too thin xlb - 5/10 what in the world is this skin?? xian shui jiao - 4/10 unsatisfying, undercooked, inside was gloopy & pasty, skin was barely even fried (it's supposed to be golden brown) read more

It's been 9 years since my last review so I thought I'd post an update. I dined here recently and was able to try a few new items I didn't order last time. We got here around 1:30PM, near the tail end of lunch and the restaurant was still about 1/3 full. Although the restaurant did age the last decade, I feel like the the food quality actually increased! We ordered the staple dim sum items: pork sui mai, shrimp har gow, beef rice roll, egg tarts, chicken feet, steamed bean curd skin with pork and shrimp. The dim sum items were pretty good with the steamed items coming out fresh and hot. In addition to these items we also ordered two dishes - chicken chow fun with gravy and dried scallops fried rice. Both were great and were of a generous portion. The only letdown was the plate of roast pork - the skin was a bit stale and chewy, not crunch and crisp as you'd expect. The dim sum is ordered via the waiter/waitress whereas the baked items are on a cart that is wheeled around the restaurant. Those items can be picked ad-hoc. The sticky rice on that cart can be heated up, just ask them to warm if up for you. Looking for a dim sum deal? After 2:30 PM, you can score a buy-one-get-one-free deal on baked goods like bbq pork buns and egg tarts. Just be quick, as these goodies tend to fly off the cart and others may be waiting for 2:30 PM to strike too. Golden Sun Palace was cleaner than I expected for an older Chinese restaurant. The bathrooms were surprisingly nice, and they even cleaned the dim sum carts before closing. The service was great! They refilled our tea, cleared our table of dirty dishes, and helped us cut a birthday cake. For all these reasons, I'm upgrading my review to 4 solid stars. read more

We found a cockroach in our catered takeout order! Never order or eat from here. This place is beyond foul

You know... the more and more I come here I find myself simply leaving unhappy. Business never really seems that busy and for staff to be unfriendly and even attitude-y @ times... really leaves me flabbergasted. With my most recent visit for dinner our family of three placed orders for: *BEEF CHOW FUN *SEASONAL VEGETABLES w/ BAMBOO PITH & MUSHROOM *SHRIMP DUMPLINGS *PORK & SHRIMP DUMPLINGS *ICE TEA x3 First and foremost, the initial iced tea I received legit tasted like the staff member popped open a can of Brisk and poured it over ice. I flagged down one of the ladies and asked for a plain, unsweetened version. A different cup is provided and everything is good- tea was clearly the typical hot tea you normally receive but the cup was topped off with ice. The staff jazzed it up with slices of lemon which is great but my issue is being charged $4+ for each cup I received!! That's uncalled for IMO. Secondly, I placed an order for seasonal veggies with bamboo pith & mushrooms. My fault for not seeing the word "pith" so when I received the dish, I flagged the staff down asking where the bamboo was. She immediately went into defense attitude mode and kept pointing at the brown spongey like pieces. Thirdly, the white doughy layer on the shrimp dumplings were overly thick AF. 2 stars. The food here isn't good enough to be dealing with so much of this bipolar-ness. I'm gonna have to second guess whether or not I come back. read more

Golden Sun Palace is one of my parents' favorite dim sum/Chinese family-style meal spots, but personally, it wouldn't be my first choice to stop by if you're looking for quality authentic Chinese food in the Bay. There are always plenty of tables available without reservation when we stop by, but this restaurant definitely feels a bit old and dirty, with lots of flies, and live seafood tanks with dead fish that need some love and cleaning. The price point at this restaurant is very fair, considering how expensive the Bay Area has become these last few years. A serving of dim sum runs you up to less than $5, although New Hwong Kwok across the street has better dim sum in my opinion. They also offer an extensive menu of traditional Chinese dishes such as walnut shrimp, lobster noodles (although these weren't made that well), sweet and sour soup and more. Service was on the nicer end for an authentic Chinese spot, but if you're not a native Chinese speaker, ordering and communicating with your server might prove to be a challenge. read more

Went here a couple times, the first time was better than this time. Going here on a Saturday was not really good. Nothing was really good except for the chow udon. I loved the chow udon, the udon with the sauce was so good with it. It was hot, and had a smokey flavor to it. The service was kinda good. It took like 10-15 minutes for the first dish to come. The ambiance was beautiful. There were a few big lights hanging around the room and there were some plants around the room too. I would recommend this though, but all of the dishes were mid. read more

IMHO My son chose this restaurant for his birthday dim sum brunch. This is a spacious and brightly lit restaurant in Milpitas. We made a reservation for a table of 10 at their opening time, but since we were the first ones there, we didn't really need it! For our party of 10, we ordered a lot, but I think we could've even ordered more or at least doubled a few. The food was delicious, hot and flavorful. I especially loved the salt and pepper fish, the fried tofu, and the beef chow fun. The only dish that was lacking for us, was the Lobster noodles. The noodles were thick and white. I think everyone expected that they would be fried noodles. Suffice it to say, the lobster was eaten but there was a lot of noodles left on the platter. Service was great and the food came out in a fairly timely manner. I definitely look forward to returning again. read more

Golden Sun Palace - Chives dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

Located in a foodie strip mall, after wandering around I decided to give this place a try. I had the beef jook, Chinese donut, chicken feet, and chrysanthemum tea. The jook was the least memorable. Basically some beef slices in rice porridge. Not much flavor, as there wasn't any ginger in the jook as some places do which would have added some interest. But they have salt, white pepper, and chili on the tables, and some pepper improved it for me. I realize jook is not intended to be an exciting dish, it's comfort food, and it was comforting. 3.5 stars. The Chinese donut was not at all greasy and was perfect for dipping in the jook. 4 stars. The chicken feet in black bean sauce were stellar. So flavorful, with just the barest hint of spiciness where the feet had touched the hot pepper. Came right off the bones. Definitely makes me want to come back and focus on their dim sum. The chrysanthemum tea (not free, but cheaper than other places I've had it recently) was actual flowers in hot water, not tea bags. There's not much variation if any to this dish, but it was good. Waitstaff was pleasant, food servers efficient. Typical well-lit Hong Kong style food palace. read more

Strange that this place has such low reviews....my guess is the competition from all the newer, more trendy asian places makes them look a little "dated". Maybe Golden Sun ain't to popular with the Gen Z kids? I dunno...for a white guy it was just fine. Singapore noodles were satisfactory for the price. Not the best I've ever had but delicious and generous -- I literally made 4 meals from the one to-go entree. Also - very civil and courteous staff, which is just bizarre.... I take it as a given that any good Chinese food in the Bay Area comes with shitty service and an even shittier attitude. read more

Food was decent but the establishment is dishonest. There's a sign in the front that says "Free Tea Daily" but it doesn't apply to the tea you order. We were charged a tea price for 4 people even though two were kids. When I asked about it, the waiter checked the tea we had then said it doesn't apply to chrysanthemum tea because chrysanthemum is very expensive so they have to charge for that. I held back my laughter because chrysanthemum is cheap and that was the excuse they were using. I didn't argue but I won't be back. Our bill came out to $130 so they lost a customer for a dishonest $8 tea charge. read more

Food is okay as those steam food are hot enough. Not too many people today, but not quiet as there were two men spoke in Cantonese with tons of foul language. Noticed 2 cents on the bill and they explained it was generated by the system (not by Golden Sun Palace). Why we, the customers, have to pay for it? Golden Sun Palace should take care of it rather than keep telling their customers that it was generated automatically by the system (3rd party). Should they made the adjustment manually before giving the bill to their customers? read more

Golden Sun Palace - Receipt of 2024 April - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

For CNY, I celebrate with 7 friends, we tried their CNY combination meal, which delivered an unforgettable food journey. The chefs demonstrated his attention to detail, sourcing quality ingredients and crafting each dish with care and portions were generous. Roasted crispy pork appetizer platter stood out, showcasing classic Hong Kong style pork alongside unexpected elements like small octopus and seaweed, adding a small twist to the plate. Among main dish, live lobster stole the spotlight with its flavorful and juicy meat. Walnut shrimp impressed with its freshness and delightful taste. While Beijing duck was different from traditional with its chunkier meat, it boasted richer flavor, although it has more fat and bone compared to traditional Beijing duck in my personal liking. Pork knuckle is the star of the show, with tender, flavorful meat that showcased chef' skill, I can tell this dish was cook under consistent pressure for a long time to keep it juicy and lock all the flavors inside meat and also keep everything moisture. Steamed fish came in close second, offering delicate, well balanced flavors top with addition of green onions, like icing on cake. Finally, mushrooms with sea cucumber provided a melody like textures and flavors, although sea cucumber's presence was subtle, but the strong flavor of mushroom and soy sauce balance the sea cucumber, also the vegetable is well picked, no hard knots. I would appreciate it if they provided knives and more napkins so we could have a cleaner dining experience. This is a minor detail, but it could enhance the overall enjoyment. Nevertheless, waiters frequently assisting in cleaning up and promptly refilling our tea, but sometimes I just wish we can do it ourselves. Overall, combination meal provided a memorable dining experience, offering a peek into rich and flavorful Chinese cuisine, the exploration was both satisfying and intriguing. I look forward to returning to further explore their menu and depth of Chinese flavors. read more

The portion of most of the dishes shrank than before. The size of Baked BBQ Pork Bun and Su Mai became very small. There were only four pieces in the Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce, which was pretty ridiculous. Thank Salt & Pepper Pumpkin was crispy and not too greasy, but the flavor was too light. The Pepper Pork Tribe tasted very good. It was soft and savory. The Pan Fried Turnip Soft Cake tasted weird and terrible. We arrived right after they opened in the morning so at the beginning the service was very fast. But soon there were more and more guests and the service became really slow. The waiter was nice and funny. read more

This place has a guy order taker, I think his name is Chris, at least that's what the receipt said. He doesn't listen to you, he just says he understands and nods but ends up putting in the wrong orders anyway. I repeated my order at least 5 times and I have a list on my phone but he put his own order for us (2 orders of items we only wanted 1 order of). I repeated to him multiple times the items that I only want 1 order of but nope, he did not listen. DO NOT SAY YOU UNDERSTAND SOMETHING WHEN YOU DO NOT!!! Will not go back here with a big party and don't recommend this place to anyone. The food was blah. read more

Golden Sun Palace is a decent restaurant for Hong Kong-styled food. Before the pandemic we came here a lot for their dimsum, but since the pandemic, we have been doing to-go entrees. House Special Pan Fried Crispy Noodle is one of my favorite dishes in general, not just from Golden Sun. I really enjoy the crispiness of the noodles mixed in with the special sauce filled with vegetables and meat. I'm the type who doesn't like it one the noodles get too soggy from the sauce. Their fried rice is standard. Nothing extravagant. I've had their Dried Scallop w/Egg White Fried Rice and Salted Fish with Chicken Fried Rice. The Dried Scallop Fried Rice is a bit bland even with the scallop and eggs. For the Salted Fish Friend Rice -- image standard fried rice, but a huge salty punch from chunks of fish. The Beef Stew with Turnip was OK, no other comments to add other than this originally served in a claypot dish. read more

I've been on a dumpling/dim sum kick lately. Thanks to Doordash, we found this gem with the best sui mai I've ever had. I've gotten take out for my family a few times here and recently came in on a Saturday morning for dine in. They don't have the traditional dim sum carts. Instead you order off the menu and they bring your items to you. Personally, I like this better since I don't have to wait for the cart containing the item(s) I'm looking for. It's more efficient. Plus, I enjoy my meal better because all my items come out in close succession rather than eating one or two items and spending so much time sitting around waiting. When I'm hangry, I have no patience. LOL Of the dim sum items, I've gotten the sui mai, har gow, pot stickers, shrimp balls, beef meatballs, wontons in chili oil, ribs in clack bean sauce and sesame balls. We've also gotten beef chow fun, house fried rice, preserved egg & pork porridge, beef porridge, and braised eggplant with minced pork. The standouts have been the sui mai, beef chow fun, and preserved egg and pork porridge. Take out service has been efficient. Dining in service has also been pretty good. We've only gone pretty early in the day when the restaurant is mostly empty. I prefer it that way and don't know if I would come if the restaurant was full. The plaza where the restaurant is located is a really busy one so parking can get challenging. Come early and avoid the crowds. read more

My younger brother came here with his friends and one of the workers there upsold him food that totaled the bill to $170 for 3 people. He said that the worker kept recommending these foods and because they're in middle school, they were too naive to ask the price of the food until the bill arrived. It is so scummy as a business to prey on younger children and recommending obviously expensive food instead of offering the more affordable choices. Shame on the worker that did this. read more

Golden Sun is one of the BEST dim sum restaurants around. Take it from me, being Chinese, I've had my share of dim sum in the my life and I take pride in knowing where the best dim sum is. There's a few other restaurants in the area and none of them come close tbh.. There's a limited menu compared to other places. If you're looking for speciality dim sum, Golden Sun isn't your place. If you're looking for the traditional dishes, this is a MUST try. You order from the menu, on the weekend, there's a cart going around with a few dishes. There's a good selection on the menu, dim sum, picks from the kitchen etc. I always go with the usual; shrimp dumpling, sui mai, chicken feet, shrimp rice rolls, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, pork spare ribs to name a few. EVERYTHING tasted great in my opinion. The pieces come out juicy and plump, always hot. The sui mai is one of the best, and any decent dim sum restaurant MUST have good sui mai because it's a staple. The chicken feet has tons of flavor and comes out in a dark reddish color like it's suppose to. The shrimp dumpling is huge, packed with shrimp. Big props to the dim sum chef in the back, he/she is doing a great job. We usually order a fried rice dish, and it's amazing. You can taste just how hot the wok is because it transfer into the food. That's exactly what you're looking for in Chinese food. We always love coming here. The staff has always been great and attentive. It's a huge benefit when you can speak Chinese with them as well. There is NO better dim sum place in the area.. trust me on that. read more
