The servers come directly to your table and they write down the menu for the day. The menu generally run American classics, but a bit more "chefy" than a run of the mill diner. Unfortunately, I think I came on an off day, as there were some miscues. The clam dish had a ton of potential, but was noticeably overseasoned, and I'm a self-proclaimed salt lover. It was mentioned that the pork chop was going to be medium to medium-rare, but what we received was in the edge of well done (and even burned on some ends). The burger and fries, though, were fantastic. A bit hit or miss, but I do want to come back as the menu is creative and I'm sure it would have been great on a better day.

Golden Diner is an absolute must if you visit Chinatown. I had a short work trip and met up with my…read moreteam here for dinner and absolutely loved the experience. Thankfully, a coworker who lives in NYC got us a reservation because this place was slammed and deservedly so. There were nearly a dozen of us so we shared a bunch of things but I was only able to get photos from my side of the table. I started with a drink the server recommended which is one of the Golden Diner's signature cocktails: the Golden Punch. It was a very easy drinker and a delicious way to start out the night. We followed that up with some shared plates: the Caesar salad, the Korean Fried Chicken Wings, and the popular Chicken Katsu Club. That all led up to the true star of the experience: the Honey Butter Pancakes. The picture doesn't do this thing justice - it's so simple but I can't stop raving/thinking about it. This thing is fluffy and not too heavy, though a double stack honestly filled me up. The butter and honey must have something else magical going on because my honey and butter do not taste like that haha I loved it so much that I went back 2 days later on my own to grab lunch and just got the pancakes and some bacon. I would absolutely do it again too. All in all, it's a delicious experience and absolutely see myself going back again on my next trip to New York City. Highly recommend, just make sure you get a reservation or dine solo at the counter if you want to take your changes just walking in without a rezzy.

I thought they were very lemon forward but my dining mates disagreed so idk what to tell you there! - after shedding a real tear over my gorgeous ~dessert for dinner meets breakfast for dinner~ moment, I turned to the less famed menu items - the chicken katsu sandwich is well done. the chicken is magically thick & juicy while still having such a hard outer fried shell. there is a ton of cabbage slaw & every ingredient was fresh, but the dish all together didn't wow any of us - the Reuben mushroom quesadilla definitely gets points for creativity. the thick horseradish Russian dressing was fabulous & I loved how the texture was almost like a coleslaw. the seasoning was reminiscent of a real pastrami Reuben but the quesadilla was mostly tortilla with minimal filling

But if you're looking for some excellent, straight forward, wonderfully crafted simplicity, this is in your wheelhouse. A quesadilla is a quesadilla, a hamburger a hamburger. Sounds boring? Not when your hamburger and quesadilla are amongst the best you've ever had at any diner, anywhere. Our waitress was very nice and allowed us to dine, unbothered. We ordered a fresh fruit platter for dessert. It included watermelon, mango, grapes, apples, strawberries, etc. very nice, well presented. The dining area certainly belies what happens in that kitchen behind the door. I'll be back to try some more simple, but excellent food.

This spot has a handful of tables and while we were there, quite a few to-go orders were picked up as well. Though we were the only diners, so I assume it's more of a breakfast/brunch spot. The menu is rather expansive with options from breakfast to lunch and dinner. After studying the menu, we opted for the Veggie Burger and the Meatball Parm Po'Boy. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes, which seemed a little long as we were the only diners, but we were not in a rush so it was fine. As the restaurant was unassuming, I honestly had pretty low expectations, but we both really enjoyed our meals. It was definitely large portions and really flavorful. My fiance said the Meatball Parm Po'Boy was delicious and I appreciated that the veggie burger seemed to be made in house as it was falling apart (in a good way) and you could distinguish some of the veggies. I ended up only eating about half of my burger and took the rest for lunch the next day and it held up well.

It was a warm day in the city so we opted to sit inside. Because it was my friend's birthday, we were given a little card and they gave us a candle alongside the pancakes! The server was nice and answered all our questions. We of course, got the hazelnut pancakes! We also tried to oat milk mocha, s'mores espresso, breakfast sandwich with avocado, and the cheddar biscuit. The food looked wonderful and tasted even better. As a southern gal, I was skeptical about the biscuits, but they were buttery and savory and fluffy. They were definitely more of a bready biscuit than a flaky one, but delightful nonetheless. The breakfast sandwich had a great flavor and I liked the option to add avocado to keep it vegetarian. I just wish there were more slices of avocado on it. The espresso was good but nothing too special. The star of the brunch would have to undoubtably be the pancakes. The hazelnut flavor was divine and coupled with a fluffy, cake like pancakes!! I definitely would go back just for the pancakes alone. I highly recommend eating here!!

While they have all the traditional breakfast fare, I was so happy to see it also had a Caribbean twist to it. I couldn't help myself--I had to order rice and beans with pernil (pork shoulder) and a side of sweet plantains. Of course, I wanted some actual breakfast items, so we got the French toast loaded with fruit. We also got both the tres and quatro golpes, which is a traditional Dominican breakfast. Lastly, we got a Caribbean omelet. My rice and pernil was solid. The rice could've used a tad bit more seasoning but when mixed with the side of beans and plantains plus a drizzle of hot sauce it was perfect. They had a variety of sauces--Tabasco (my fave), a Jamaican one that was super spicy, and a mild homemade one. The tres/quatro golpes was also a hearty choice with mangu (mashed plantain), sausage, fried cheese, and eggs. The pickled red onion balanced everything out. The fried cheese is similar to a halloumi but I think it's a bit more flavorful. All the flavors just melt together in your mouth perfectly. The French toast and omelet were good. I'd say the Caribbean items stole the show though. The place has a typical diner vibe and is on the small side. Food was served quickly and service was good. Discount if you pay in cash. I will be coming back to try their Cuban!!

It took a longer than I expected to be offered a drink or to ask what I want. But after I ordered, the food, came out extremely fast. I started reading a book and I didn't even get to the third page before it came out. The crostata was absolutely delicious. It was blueberry lemon, I didn't think I could eat three pancakes for the order so I decided to go with that and it was just the right size. Crisp, sweet, tart, crunchy, it was a perfect little treat for myself. Most definitely would order again. The BEC pierogies were tasty, but I felt like I should've at least gotten seven or eight for $16. That's 2.50 a dumpling for 6. I wish I had more for the price point or at least that they were more filled with stuffing, like it's eggs. I'm not disappointed just I was still slightly hungry when I left, which is not what I wanna feel after paying $38 for breakfast with tip. Not unreasonably priced just you don't feel like you're getting a good bargain is all. They are handmade. I'll give them that. The service was lovely. I may be back to try some other things, I would love to try the latkes. It was a cute environment for sure, Ukrainian diner vibes. I'm not in Williamsburg very often but it was a nice change of pace.

Food is what you want from a diner -- big menu, big portions, comes out hot. I mostly do breakfast stuff even if it's not morning (omelette/home fries/pancakes depending on the mood). The home fries are actually good, not those sad bland cubes. Eggs come how you ask. Pancakes are fluffy. Coffee is just coffee, but they keep refilling it so I'm not complaining. Service is straight diner energy. They're moving fast, not doing a whole friendly routine, but they're paying attention. If it's slammed you might wait a bit to get seated and they'll be kinda brisk, but you're not getting ignored. Not some "wow" meal, but it's reliable and filling and easy, which is honestly why I keep going back.

I specifically ordered a deluxe burger and selected onion rings as the side that came with it. I then ordered a separate side of French fries. In my special instructions, I simply wrote that I wanted the French fries cooked well done. When my DoorDash order arrived, my deluxe burger came with fries instead of the onion rings I had selected, on top of the separate order of fries I had already purchased. I considered letting it go, but after spending over $40, ending up with two orders of fries that I never asked for was ridiculous. I called because I wasn't sure if sending the onion rings through DoorDash was even possible, but I wanted to see what solution they could offer. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, the "manager" immediately tried to blame me and said, "Well, your special instructions said to make the fries well done." I'll be honest, I lost it. I couldn't believe I was being blamed for a mistake I didn't make. Asking for the French fries to be cooked well done does not mean I was asking to replace my onion rings with another order of fries. At no point did I ask for a substitution for something I specifically selected. Instead of taking accountability or trying to fix the mistake, the manager continued insisting it was somehow my fault. If there was any confusion, the appropriate response would have been to apologize and try to make it right, not blame the customer. Mistakes happen, but refusing to take accountability and doubling down instead of trying to resolve the issue is terrible customer service. By the end of the conversation, the missing onion rings weren't even the biggest issue. It was the complete lack of accountability. I won't be ordering from here again.
