Tried this place for the first time yesterday (Christmas) and woweeeee it was FIRE, delicious, yummy all the things. We tried the following dishes: 1. Tangerine Chicken 2. Beef Chow Mein 3. Walnut Shrimp For two people it was more than enough food and everything was SO GOOD. The tangerine chicken was crunchy, chewy, and sweet/sourish. The beef chow mein was salty and hot but not spicy, and the walnut shrimp was fried to perfection. The service was a bit slow but it was Xmas so everyone and their mom decided to pop in (us included) without a reservation. It’s to be expected. Wait staff was kind!
5 stars baby…. you come here for the food, period. This isn’t a sexy date spot or a vibe restaurant. It’s an old-school Chinatown staple, and that’s exactly why it works. The dumplings and dim sum are off the chain; authentic, comforting, and deeply satisfying. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes like it’s been done the same (right) way for years. If you want your stomach happy and don’t care about the flash, Golden Dragon delivers.
We visited LA's Chinatown with high expectations for authentic cuisine, particularly the dim sum and vibrant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. The food quality, especially the dim sum, was notably below par, making the excellent dim sum restaurants in Convoy, San Diego, feel practically luxurious in comparison. The service was ok.
Nice place in town. I enjoyed my dimsum last time. This time i ordered set menu. Awesome chinese food in china town LA. A bit crowded on lunch time. Still have table for walk in. Warmly atmosphere, Easey talk together.
Good quantity for the price of the food. You can get two dishes like fried rice and a side and easily split between 2 people. Good atmosphere, moderately good service but friendly staff. Food taste and quality is a bit underwhelming, fried rice was quite oily. All in all good restaurant.
