Golden Dynasty

When you feel like a dim sum fix while checking out a new place you always hope for the best. Golden Dynasty is a 3 based on a level of service I haven't experienced in a restaurant. We needed to order at the front counter because no one came to help. I asked for help ordering a traditional dim sum rice noodle which is thick and they brought the wrong type and never suggested to take it off the bill. The food and environment unfortunately fell short too leaving me to leave with my eco take out container and not return.

Food was good but didn't wow us. They offered tea and only after we realized it was $1 each. Some of the dim sum was a bit heavy and taste was not as I would usually expect for those dishes at other places. However was still good, not too salty. Will probably be back

We went to Golden Dynasty on a weekend lunch time and we had to wait a bit to get seated, no one greeted us until we flagged someone down. We got served tea and there is a $1 charge per pot of tea. We also had to walk up to the front counter to hand in our order since no one was paying attention to us. We got a few dishes during their yumcha time. We got 101 Shrimp Dumpling/ Hargow $6.88, 102 Pork Dumpling/Siu mai $5.48, 109 Shanghai small steam bun $5.48, 128 rice roll with dough fritter $5.48, 116 deep fried squid tentacle $8.48, 122 Turnip Cake $4.48, 120 Deep Fried Taro Dumpling $5.48, 130 Spare Rib & Chicken feet on rice $7.48, and lastly fried rice noodle with beef $13.98. They were all not bad. We were disappointed the rice roll with dough fritter didn’t have the peanut sauce with it and when we asked the waiter, they simply said they didn’t have it and didn’t even look at us before leaving quickly. The food was decent, but the service wasn’t too great overall. We had to flag for their attention multiple times to get things which was difficult since they weren’t in the area we were sitting, which was in the back.

Was craving dim sum and stumbled upon this place. A good selection of dim sum and fresh seafood. Prices were really reasonable as well. This is the place where Asians go for their authentic food. Highly recommend! Bring your kids to watch the live fish, crab and lobster !Food: 5/5

I've been walking by this place for years and this was my first time here. The staff were quick and friendly. The menu was a la carte. The food was hot, fresh and flavorful. The portions were very generous and the presentation was great. I will be back for sure.

We come here for the dim sum. Best dim sum in K/W!! Reminds me of when I lived in Toronto. Wish there was a little more variety of dim sum items BUT what they do have is delicious. I could honestly eat there 3 to 4 times a week. Service is quick and staff are very friendly. Restaurant is your typical Chinese style restaurant, brightly decorated a little dated but like I said the food makes up for it all. Totally recommend this restaurant for Dim Sum. Haven't eaten anything else there so I can't comment on anything else.

Dim sum was absolutely delicious! The price was fair. The portion size was pretty big. Could be cleaner because one time we went the floor wasn't very clean. Still overall a really good place.Food: 5/5

Great place and yummy dim sum! Definitely get the egg yolk bun, it's super good. Also the beef noodles with vegetables came wet not dry but it was a delicious surprise.

So glad to see this place has been back to dim sum dine in. Take out dim sum here is great but it is great when you can dine in. Always friendly staff, great food and portion sizes. A favourite for me.

The halls are narrow, so there is limited space for movement. When we came in we were being walked to our table and a server came out from the kitchen behind us, understandable that she wanted to get to the table quickly but we had to follow the pace of the hostess in front. The server hovered over my 4yr old's head with a hot tray of food and was literally pushing at our backs. it was too narrow and limited space for me to stop and be able to pick her up to walk faster When we got to our seat that same server nudge myself and daughter aside to place the food for the table next to us. Even they were audibly shocked by this. They later then brought more food to the table next to us and rested the food tray on the back of a chair, but there was a child sitting in that chair. The parents actually put their hand out under the tray to make sure it wouldn't tip over. The food was alright. Nothing special or super delicious. Greasy more than anything. The sauces were strange tasting. The tables were never cleared during the meals and no check ins happened for us to order more drinks or other foods. Would never go here again and sincerely would not recommend it. Kid-friendliness: DEFINITELY NOT since they barrel roll over the kids to get them out of the way and don't seem to care about holding HOT food trays over seated children so they can put food on tables.
