" I've been to many dim sum places, and Golden Island is worth a visit. I went there solo during lunch and they quickly seated me. The service was quick, but the quality of the food didn’t match the hype I’ve heard. The shrimp dishes were tasty, but some items felt a bit bland. I might give it another shot to see how it goes on a busy weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience during my last visit to Golden Island. The service was slow, which detracted from the overall experience. The dim sum was good but nothing exceptional compared to my previous visits. I hope they improve on this as it has a lot of potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful time at Golden Island! Dim sum was fresh and flavorful, and the tea was equally good. I was very satisfied with the variety offered. The menu had both traditional and modern options, which made it appealing. I left happy and looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dim sum here was above average, and I particularly enjoyed the pork belly. However, the service was hit-or-miss during my last visit. The restaurant was cute and clean, but I did feel rushed to place my order. I would still recommend it if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a newcomer to dim sum, I found Golden Island to be a decent introduction. The food was fresh, and I loved seeing the carts go around. However, some dishes were more oily than I expected, which wasn't pleasant. Still, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was nice for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I was eager to try Golden Island. The atmosphere was inviting, but I was disappointed by the overcooked chicken dishes we ordered. The dim sum selections were better, with the bean curd rolls being my favorite. However, the slow service dampened the experience. A mixed bag overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very subpar experience at Golden Island. The dim sum lacked the freshness I sought, and several dishes felt like they had been sitting out a while. The atmosphere was great but ultimately overshadowed by the underwhelming food. I wouldn't recommend this place if you’re looking for top-notch dim sum. " (*Curated Review*)
