" Golden Unicorn is much more than just average dim sum! Every dish we tried had its own unique flavor and texture. I was particularly fond of the fried options. The service could be a little more attentive as we had to signal for help a few times, but overall, it was a busy yet enjoyable atmosphere. I left happy and fully satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Unicorn is a fantastic spot for dim sum lovers! I visited for lunch and was surprised by the huge selection of fresh dim sum. The wait to be seated wasn’t bad at all, and the staff was friendly once we were inside. The pork buns were quite perfect, although I found the lobster dumplings a bit plain. Overall, a great experience that I would love to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I stepped into Golden Unicorn, I loved the vibrant atmosphere! Dim sum dining was a new experience for me, and it didn't disappoint. We were treated to an array of dishes, many of which were delightful. However, some plates didn’t meet my expectations in flavor. Service had moments of slowness but it was a busy day. I'd still recommend the experience to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Golden Unicorn last weekend and the experience was amusing. The ambiance gave a real dim sum feel! The food items were mostly authentic, but some lacked the complexity I expected. I really enjoyed the dessert buns, while others found some dishes a bit bland. Service was certainly fast-paced, so be ready to order quickly! Overall, I would recommend it, especially for those who appreciate an exciting dining atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really good dim sum experience! I was happy with the food quality and the variety offered. The dumpling carts were such a fun aspect to the dining experience. However, I felt that the staff's service was a bit disengaged at times—it felt like they were in a rush to deliver the food but not always there when we needed assistance. I would still recommend trying it for the food alone! " (*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*)
