The food here is excellent although there was a fair wait time. Would especially recommend their honey chicken, which was lovely and crispy even after sitting for a while. Salt and pepper soft shell crab was also delicious (a dish which I find can be hit and miss).
Winter often calls for meals that warm the soul, something hot and steamy that takes the chill away. For us it’s a hearty stew or my personal all time favourite – Hotpot. This dish comes with many names like shabu shabu, steamboat or jeongol. Each a variation from different Asian countries but the principle of it is the same. Some lovely fresh ingredients, good stock and a pot is all you really need a for a long social and fun meal. I remember our student days where almost all gatherings were hotpot feasts. We spent the night slowly cooking what we wanted to eat, catching up with everyone and having plenty of laughs. It’s one of the most social meals one can have so when Golden Dragon Palace Seafood Restaurant got in touch with us to come in and try their winter special Deluxe Dragon Hotpot we did not hesitate.
Hidden among a throng of restaurants in Hutt Street, Golden Dragon Seafood Palace offers genuinely authentic Cantonese cuisine. With beautiful fresh produce and seafood, and a deft touch for combining flavours in traditional yet creative dishes; Golden Dragon provides a wonderful dining experience. We began with a starter of Drunken Chicken. Served chilled, the chicken was steamed, moist and cut into bite sized pieces. It was marinated and served in an alcohol based sauce which was lightly spiced and sprinkled with goji berries, adding a sweet berry aftertaste to the dish.
Went for Yum Cha, but many of the items were unavailable due to the chef being away, so this is a difficult one to rate at this point in time. However, the smoked duck and pork hock were good.
Great Chinese Food! It took me a while to finally try this place as I thought it might just be another run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. It’s not, and since that first time, I’ve been going back – I need my regular fix! The menu is full of really interesting dishes, and dishes that are right up my alley! Two of my favourites are the Braised Dried Scallops with Enoki Mushrooms and Vegetables, and the magnificent Shark Lip and Duck Feet Hot Pot. If the sound of those scare you, don’t worry – there are also a number of more mainstream dishes. The fried rice, which is always a good test of a good Chinese restaurant, is excellent, as is the combination chow mein (crispy noodles). This night we tried all new things.
Banquet is a must. My friends and I love coming here for the banquet...so much food and great value for the price!!
Great Value. Went here on a quiet Friday with a Groupon voucher. Splendid food and very generous portions...so much that we struggled to do justice. Friendly service.
Quick early dinner for two; enjoyed the crispy duck & pancakes: vegetarian fried rice, mixed mushroom crockpot & pot of Chinese tea. Took home the half not finished for another meal.
Strange services. This is the first time where I wasn't offered tea when we sat down at a yum cha place (yum cha actually means 'drink tea' in cantonese) so that was a bit strange. Normally at a busy yum cha place they would have trolleys of food carting around for you to pick out whatever you feel like but the trolleys never came close to us so we ended up having to order from a menu which was fine, except they missed a couple of dishes!
Don't get me wrong the food was actually quite tasty and authentic and they are friendly people but when odd services like that happen it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I will still give it another go to see if the service gets any better.
Nice!. I ordered takeaway from Golden Dragon Palace Seafood Restaurant via menulog for my birthday dinner with friends this year. The delivery was right on the time I was quoted, the delivery person was very friendly, and the food was quite nice. I enjoyed the Singapore Noodles and particularly liked the cheeky spice in the Shantung Chicken.
I came along with my mum and my little boy thanks to a Scoopon ad. The food was hot and delicious. I think the dumplings were frozen but were tasty none the less. I found some of the food to be slightly oversalted, but that could be just me as I don't often eat salt at home.
Friendly service and table water was just fine. Really nice experiences both times :)
