" My family and I went to Golden Unicorn after hearing it was renowned for its dim sum. We were not disappointed! The food is definitely authentic, and the dim sum cart system added to the adventure. Our favorites were the steamed buns and the sesame balls for dessert. The only drawback was the service; a few times it was hard to catch the staff's attention, especially during peak hours. Still, we had a lovely meal and would definitely go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" An entertaining dining experience at Golden Unicorn! I was blown away by the variety of dim sum options. It was my first time trying their famous dumplings, and I must say, they were as good as advertised. The servers did seem rushed and it occasionally took a little longer to get our orders, but it wasn't enough to ruin the overall enjoyment of the meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Golden Unicorn for the first time last week and was enveloped in the rich aromas of authentic Cantonese dim sum. The buns were soft and flavorful, a delight with every bite. The service, however, was a bit chaotic, perhaps due to the bustling lunch crowd. I enjoyed the crispy taro dumplings but hoped for a clearer explanation of the menu items on the cart. All in all, a memorable experience and I would definitely come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dinner at Golden Unicorn last night. The dim sum was authentic, and every dish had its own unique flavor that delighted my taste buds. I did notice that some items were slightly lukewarm when served, which was a letdown. But I'd give it another chance because of the breadth of options and the inviting atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I initially thought Golden Unicorn would be just another dim sum place in Chinatown, but it exceeded my expectations! The food was delicious, very authentic, and the variety was impressive. However, I did notice a language barrier with the staff, making it difficult to ask about certain dishes. Nonetheless, I would still highly recommend anyone craving an authentic experience to try this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family decided to celebrate a special occasion at Golden Unicorn, and I must say we were pleased with the overall experience! The dim sum was fantastic, especially the shrimp dumplings. The portions were generous, and we had a lot of fun sharing various dishes. A memorable part of the meal was the enthusiasm of the servers rolling around the carts. While some were more attentive than others, we felt well cared for in general. Very family-friendly and fun environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was excited to try this place after hearing rave reviews. We went on a Friday night, and while it was busy, we were seated fairly quickly. The dim sum tasted quite authentic—especially loved the piggy custard buns! But the service left something to be desired; our server seemed overwhelmed and we had to wait a while to flag someone down for more water. Still, the food made it worth the trip. " (*Curated Review*)
