" Having tried various dim sum places across the country, I can confidently say that Golden Dragon offers a genuine experience. The flavors reflect authenticity, and the dim sum carts (though less frequent due to policy change) still deliver delightful seasonal dishes. The atmosphere is bustling and vibrant with friendly staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience. I love how welcoming it feels; the only downside is you occasionally overlook luxury or presentation—but if you prioritize taste, goals achieved! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Dragon has always been my go-to for dim sum since moving to Los Angeles. The variety on offer is superb, from the crispy spring rolls to the succulent dumplings. It’s a great place for groups since the portions are generously sized. However, parking is limited and the service can be hit or miss. I’d recommend trying it out during off-peak hours to enjoy a more relaxed experience. Overall, still one of my favorites in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" I want to share my experience at Golden Dragon, which I found to be absolutely delightful! I visited with a group of friends, and we ordered just about everything on the dim sum menu. The har gao, shumai, and even the baked BBQ pork buns were all stellar! Each item was cooked to perfection and their flavors were authentic. Additionally, the ambiance was lively and festive, definitely embodying the spirit of Chinatown. One downside was the slight wait time for our food, but it was worth every minute. Highly recommend it for dim sum lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Golden Dragon was unfortunately less than expected. The decor is charming, but I found the food to be just average and lacking flavor. The dumplings were overcooked, and the service seemed overwhelmed despite being not too crowded. I was disappointed, as I had heard so many great things. I'm not sure I would return unless there were changes made to the food quality and service efficiency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried out Golden Dragon after hearing recommendations, and while I was excited, I found the experience to be a bit mixed. The dim sum was decent, although a few dishes tasted a bit off. The service was surprisingly slow during lunch hour, which was disappointing. I might give it another chance, but I expected more from the reviews. Parking was convenient though!

" Golden Dragon Restaurant is iconic among the Chinatown food scene. I've been coming here since childhood, and while the atmosphere remains lively and inviting, I can't say the same about some of the recent dishes I've ordered. The quality has fluctuated, particularly with the steamed vegetables which lacked their usual crispness. Service tends to vary too; sometimes you get prompt help, but other times, it's hard to catch a waiter. It's still a solid choice for dim sum, just be prepared for possible inconsistencies. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to Golden Dragon for my birthday because I've heard such great things. Although the service was friendly, we faced significant delays in getting our orders. I wasn’t too impressed with the food quality this time, and I expected more authentic flavors for the price. The dim sum was passable, but they served some cold, which was disappointing. Not sure I would revisit unless someone else suggested it. " (*Curated Review*)
