Andrew McLaughlinNovember 17, 2013The steamed pork buns at dim sum time are insanely addictive. It's a good thing there is an infinite supply of them.
Elaine KwanAugust 27, 2014Super duper busy on weekends. Come super early or prepare to wait for a good while or share the table with others.
Lydia DingMay 24, 2013definitely a go-to dimsum place. better than jing fong! leaves you satiated and happy - not heavy and bloated. go to golden unicorn!!
LeeCooksSeptember 25, 2012Came for dim sum on a Saturday. First Time & the food was delicious. Extraordinary selection and unlimited supply a MUST try
Jackie HonOctober 4, 2015Most authentic Cantonese dim sum I've had in Chinatown that's still reasonably priced 👌🏻
The Corcoran GroupNovember 6, 2010A definite must for the Dim Sum - the waitstaff is extremely helpful, the food is fresh, the room is clean and they put pictures of food on the carts.
Eric ChanOctober 13, 2013Awesome Dim Sum here. Definitely try it out! Especially the porridge and the Wu Gok are so delicious!
Ashley RoseMarch 12, 2016Cheap ($27 all in pp) seemingly endless dim sum. Pro tip- be careful not to order the sweet buns too early on
Christine TranSeptember 11, 2016After you drown yourself in dim sum, pick up the custard-filled piggy buns!
Sarina MeonesDecember 2, 2016Lots of wait time to get a table. Get there early if you want good food choices and do not want to wit too long.
What's Good HereOctober 5, 2014On weekends, arrive here before 11am and get a number. The waits can take 35 minutes to an hour if you arrive later than that.
Ryan EickMarch 11, 2017Gigantic restaurant with people walking around carrying carts of food. I wasn't always sure what I was eating, but man it was good
Taylor WaltmonJanuary 4, 2014Shrimp dumplings, garlic shrimp and scallion dumplings and all the other dumplings. Yum!
Dim sum here is a very "New York" experience. Bring a big group, and if you need more tea, just leave the lid off the pot.
Liang ShiSeptember 12, 2014Get here when they open to avoid waiting in line, and get the durian puff pastry -- if you dare.
Sabrina WangJuly 27, 2014very chinese style banquet restaurant... with "wedding" letter sign on the wall. good food and great price.
Come early on a Sunday (before 11 am) and bring a native speaker.
Go to Golden Unicorn and treat yourself to pretty decent Dim Sum. It's not to the standards of SF or even HK, but it''s still nice sit down and enjoy this version of Chinese small plates with a relaxi
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011A perpetual favorite with the weekend brunch crowds, go before 11 to get the best of the dim sum and avoid painful waits. - Inspector
Lisa SchreibmanOctober 20, 2022If you want dim sum at night and from a menu, this is a solid choice.
Lauren MacNovember 4, 2015This place is a SCENE. Tasty and very authentic (maybe too authentic, if you know what I mean?)
Marcel MichelmanDecember 1, 2014Dumplings are awesome! Make sure to ask the waiters about the specials!
Filippa Edberg-ManuelNovember 10, 2013Get there with a good 30 min time buffer. They don't take reservations and crowds can be impressive...- R JamesDecember 11, 2014"Teo Chung Dumpling" : "Rich with Texture" , "Pork Shui Mai" : "Hot & Savory" , "Price" : 8.00
Van SeditaNovember 2, 2013The roast duck was fabulous! Do was pretty much everything else. Maybe the spring rolls were a bit greasy.
PriceFebruary 20, 2015It's a classic Chinatown dump. It's lit like a high school gym and the food is fried and covered in sauce.
really good dim sum but do get there early to beat the crowd otherwise long wait for table and longer wait for food..
Get here before 12:00 noon it seems like the lines form instantly then. Then you will have take a number and wait even with their two floors.
Nick DouglasJune 27, 2011Pushy staff with carts will plop down everything they have if you don't stop them. No prob, you can stuff yourself for about $12 a person. Read more
talia inbarJanuary 7, 2012Same carts rolling by for 1/2 hour. Very small selection. When I mentioned to manager, he sent all the same carts to our table, en masse, AGAIN! I'll be looking for a better dim s option..
Isabella BabiencoDecember 29, 2011Have been coming here for years... any kind of dumplings and turnip cake are my fave
