I visited Golden Ocean in a Sat morning just when they started the day of business. Food is average for vegetarian dishes, maybe it's too early for the day. Rice rolls are nice. Overall, a good dining experience.

Golden Seafood absolutely deserves a 5 out of 5! This restaurant is truly the ultimate spot for a dim sum party experience—once you sit down, the dim sum just keeps coming out, and it feels endless in the best way possible. From the very first bite, you can taste the authenticity of their menu. The flavors are rich, fresh, and exactly what you’d expect from a place that takes pride in real Asian culinary traditions. Only those familiar with authentic dim sum know which ones are truly worth it, and Golden Seafood nails it across the board. The service was just as impressive—fast, organized, and attentive without being overbearing. The staff made sure everything flowed smoothly, so we could simply enjoy the food and the moment. What I love most is that every dish that came to the table was tempting—you’ll seriously want to try everything on the menu because the quality is consistent all throughout. If you’re craving a genuine dim sum feast with outstanding flavors, efficient service, and a fun, lively atmosphere, Golden Seafood is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back again soon!

One of the oldest dim sum places in Vancouver. Our go-to for dim sum! Love the braised shrimp with tofu or with eggplant. Fried taro is one of the best!

Seem like this place has been recently renovated to include upgraded brand new chairs all around as well as enhanced lighting. The big round tables the carpet the decor otherwise they’re all very traditional Chinese dim sum type restaurant and fact this is where the place shines. Dim sum on the weekend is exceedingly popular. They still have people bringing trays of food around as well as carts, which is a very traditional way to do dim sum and a great experience if you’ve never had it before. You really get to see the food as they show it to you if you even if you don’t know the name of it in English or Chinese. Food is always fresh. The taste are authentic. We’ve been coming here for over 20 years and will probably come for 20 more.

First time visiting Golden Ocean Seafood restaurant. Came here for my mothers 80th birthday. From the outside, plain appeal. Go up the stairs and through the door and restaurant looks very appealing, bright and lively. We enjoyed the decor. Service was excellent, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Dim Sum was busy so having a reservation helps a lot. All the food we ordered was great and very tasty. Eggplant shrimp was different and excellent! Traditional chicken feet dish was also excellent and had a different taste than what youll find if you ordered this at other restaurants. Would differently come here again.
