Golden Dragon Restaurant

It’s neat that they validate parking for 2 hours in the valet. The food was really good, traditional canton taste. Servers are quite busy though and hard to get their attention. Food wise it’s there, don’t have to look further if your in the neighborhood for that sort of food

Good dim sum with fast friendly service. Went on Sat morning. Friendly staff auntie walked around with porridge and beef tripes, fried stuff eggplants, rice noodle Chinese donuts etc. Wish I could eat more as two of us were stuff with steam dim sum already. Reasonably price. Not a fancy restaurant but it is convenient located at the heart of Chinatown. Lots of local uncles and aunties enjoying their dim sum.

I ordered the house special fried rice and the #3 pork dim sum. My table also order the #2 and the walnut shrimp. Honestly the fried rice was pretty bad. Really dry and no flavor whatsoever, barely any meat, seriously do not order it. The dim sum #3 was ok I could see myself eating that again but the #2 was not good. The walnut shrimp was ok but I wouldn’t recommend it. Overall I would not come back here. We didn’t even finish the food.

Peak Dim-Sum done fast right here in Chinatown. Golden Dragon gets extremely busy so its best to go on off hours either right as they open or after the lunch rush. Recommend a lot of their dishes, most are hits like the Pork Buns, Wonton Soup, and Shumai, and others seems like pandering towards an LA audience like anything deep fried. I’ve seen them go table to tables and try to peddle dishes that probably don't sell as well or are sitting. Also if you NEED America style service where they hold your hand and act nice, do not come here. This is authentic Chinese food, service is not going to be great, and most of you will think staff is rude because you need to flag them down, but thats how you can tell a good restaurant apart from a bad one, their food is SO GOOD. 10/10 would definitely recommend coming with a larger group so you can taste everything on the menu.

I was here for a memorial service for a woman who made a big difference in the disability community. Easy to find- there is an English sign in yellow above the Chinese version visible high on the street level facing the street before you get there. Easy parking- street parking and valet are very accessible even on a busy weekend at around 11am. Food we received for the services was very good. As a Chinese American, I tend to have higher standards, and they were very good, fresh, and there was a lot of good service in spite of how many were being served at one time. A lot of our members had special needs, and everyone seemed happy. My only complaint was the closest bathroom was not easy to work with, though it was relatively clean. There was no lock on the door. Someone with problems lifting the chair to close the door in place would be easily walked in on by strangers. They did have a better bathroom at the front of the restaurant. However, for many of our guests with special needs, the walk was too far to make it worth the trip. If you are eating at the main restaurant area and not in the back banquet hall, or if you are less shy this would not be a concern for you.
