Golden Island Restaurant

A great little hole in the wall, check them out on Instagram for daily rotating special of 3 dishes for $36. Usually there are about 6 options with other options such as add $8 for fried rice. Portions were generous and food was hot. Loved the pork chops especially, so flavourful and tender. Owner lady was so friendly and nice, I’d definitely go back.

Came for my friend's birthday, the food was amazing and all the workers were wonderful! They had several dishes that was only offered in their restaurant. I highly recommend the cold crab dish!! Will come back here when we visit Calgary again! Thank you once again!

Very tasty Chinese restaurant. The server is very warmly. When we ordered even reminds us if we over order the food. But we ends up finish all dishes. The food is at a fare price. And give us a dessert as service. All are local customers, so it’s a nice little gem in that area.

Great hole in the wall. Do not let the unassuming front fool you, great selections, tasty food Whether take out or dine in. The rotating take-out selection of 3 dishes for $36 is great, very reasonable price and good portions. Friendly staff.

Service and staff were very friendly. The owner was very kind and went out of her way to service us. The food tasted delicious and arrived piping hot to our table. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. I will certainly be visiting back again soon.

Pretty authentic Chinese food here. Specialities are the duck and oyster pancake that are pictured. Overall, everything tended on the salty side. Definitely worth a try once in a while to try some different dishes than the usual Chinese restaurant, however not somewhere I could eat regularly. AVOID the combination lunch/dinner sets! Order your dishes individually.

Food tastes deliciously nostalgic and the staff is so welcoming. Even my friend who has trouble swallowing past a few bites of any Asian dishes found it delicious not for the lack of trying. I know someone mention that, "While the sticker price is pretty high, the large portions make it good value." The portions are reasonably priced and the taste definitely makes it worth it. I can't wait to be able to dine in and have their deep fried dishes. Did I mention they're local? Even better.

Their food is delicious and service is great. Pork belly dish is something I remember from my childhood. I think the first time I had it was at this restaurant and it's still delicious. Fish maw soup with red vinagar was soothing and their clay hot pot was my boyfriend's favorite. Will definitely come back.

Great restaurant! Very traditional

Chinese Chiu Chow foods, the lady boss is very friendly. Service & taste are good, worth a try!
