This is not a fancy or flash looking restaurant- but the food is consistently amazing. The crispy pork & Peking Duck is to die for. Salt & Pepper Calamari is always tender, not over cooked and rubbery & greasy like so many other places.
I have never had a bad meal here. It's always busy!
Although it has recently closed for relocation.... I will be keenly looking out for their next address. Can't wait to get back.
I've been here 4 times (I moved to Melbourne permanently less than 1 year ago) however this place has became 1 of my favs---and I will definitely continue returning. I have never been dissapointed--juicy moist duck and yummy fried tofu. The quality of food and ambiance is great.Price wise it is abit on the high side when you dine in however given the food quality to me at least its worth the price paid.
Nice food with reasonable price for lunch around Footscray area. The crispy pork were very juicy and tender yet it had crunchy skin. The deep fried crispy spare ribs chicken with rice was the highlight for my today's visit. Spacious eating area served by good staffs.
Hong kong style Chinese Food, similar to Hong kong BBQ, we ordered the mud crab in xo sauce which is not bad, the beef we had is also good. Everyone loves the murray cod steamed fish.
Probably the best Chinese BBQ restaurant in Melbourne. Here we tried the roast duck which was succulent with minimal amount of fat. There was no "duck-smell" as well, while the accompany sauce was lightly sweet and balanced. We also like the subtle ginger taste in the sauce. Overall, this wax probably this best roast duck we had in Melbourne.
We also tried the fried softshell with salted egg yalts which was yum. The salty egg yalts went well with the crispy coating. Though it could fee a bit sandy towards the end.
We would return to try the roast pork next time.
What you do when you have craving for mud crab but don't want to head into the city. This hidden away restaurant in footscray is a secrete revealed. Excellent service and generous with their condiments when you ask for XO sauce they give you plenty.
This was one of my favourite place in Footscray. I love their wagyu beef in sizzling hot plate and peking duck.
The suckling pig was also the best one in town. We pre-ordered the whole pig ($300) few days before picking up in the morning, the skin was very crispy and the meat was super tendered.
Don't expect anything on service though.
Updated: ordered a whole suckling pig for the new year and price has increased to $348. However, it was still very delicious and we couldn't resist not to buy it.
Fantastic Peking duck pancakes. Great service. Wish I had discovered this sooner! Will definitely be coming back in future.
Decided to try out Golden Harvest for dinner tonight. Got a table straight away and were served a pot of tea. We ordered Szechuan beef and spicy salt and pepper tofu with plain rice.
The salt and pepper tofu was fantastic, we'd definitely order that again. The szechuan beef was not very spicy and not to my partners liking, he found it quite sweet. He needed to ask for chilli to put on it. In doing that he advised the waiting staff the dish was supposed to be spicy, staff were willing to discuss the issue. I guess we'll need to specify that we want it hot if we go back there.
The restaurant is very big and spacious, it was nice and warm inside but whenever someone comes in from outside a cold breeze comes in.
The roast pork in the window looks good but we did not try it.
This place standout with their display of roast pork and duck in Footscray market area. Saw people keep coming to buy the roast pork for take away. I can tell that the bbq pork, roast pork, and the roast duck are not the best, but it will not dissapoint you.
We tried from their lunch menu slection which come with rice or noodle. The meals are generous in size and they tastes nice too without heavy msg aftertaste. But I feel that there is nothing exciting or special. It's like good home cooking with slightly high price tag.
The restaurant is well spaced and have that luxurious feel. While we were here, saw someone put special order for whole roast pig. If there is a need for that special event, this can be one of your choice.
The dumplings were super sticky and fresh, and tasted amazing
Mostly convenient. I go here regularly for their roast duck, more for the convenience than the exceptional taste. Their roast pork tends to be too fatty - they must choose cuts which have the thicker layers of fat.
And agree, service is mediocre at its best.
Watch out for the slippery steps upon entry!
Also known as Golden Harvest. Amazing food, epic roasts. But this place is a catch 22, service is mediocre and unfriendly but the food here is so good.
Great food. Been coming here for years. You only come here for the food which is top class, not an all round dining experience as the decor/service not great. Never had a bad dish here. Worth the 40 minute drive from my house.
Roast meats are perfect. Love the roast meats in this place. On special occasions we get the lobster :)
You don't come here for the service! It's basic but the food is fantastic.
Worth getting a break down of bill too at end - feel we've been overcharged (by a LOT) twice before so we've avoided it recently.
Love this place! Don't go here if you're looking for quality service or to have a quiet meal. This place has the best Asian BBQ. I do recommend people going on off peak hours! It won't disappoint
Great bbq meats. Have to be a bit patient with this restaurant, the staff aren't pleasant and sometimes the floor feels bit grotty. But one bite into those tender crispy duck skin and all your concerns melt away.
Cheap and cheerful. Pleasant atmosphere, service okay and food was great. It seems they do a roaring BBQ meat takeaway. Peking duck was good and calamari was one of the best I have had in recent times.
Excellent. Had a great lunch of 3 kinds of bbq meat with rice and a vegetarian dish. It was excellent food at the price and we really enjoyed it. Also bought a box of pork for $10 for lunches the next day. This is a great place and the best of its kind I have tried.
Reliable and delicious. We love coming here - the crispy pork belly and spicy deep fried calamari are my favourites. You have to work hard to catch the eye of the service staff and there is no eftpos but you can overlook these things.
Bustling, busy, fun and tasty! The most amazing deep fried seafood I've ever had, yummy vegies and wedding cake styled pink highlights on the roof to make you blush. I'll be going back for roasts some time soon.
What a Chinese restaurant should be.. Cheap, authentic, cheap, fast service, cheap, awesome roasts, cheap cheap cheap!
Each time I don't feel like cooking, and feel like Chinese, my legs automatically take my body to Golden Harvest. I am quite spoilt living near Footscray, so to all who think about going to Chinatown in the city, think again. You will not be disappointed with the roast duck and crispy noodles or the crispy pork and rice or even a fish of your choice straight from the fish tank. I mean, $8 for a real meal is unheard of these days! Especially given the quantity you get.
Don't cook dinner tonight. Go to Golden Harvest instead.
My friends and I ventured here to have a good ol' round table dinner. We were pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and efficient. We ordered a variety of dishes and they all were quite tasty, except the roast pork and duck. We did get the last servings of the roast, so I'm not sure if it's because of that? My vegetarian friends were also quite happy with their meals. So I'll definitely be back again next time I crave a good Chinese dinner!
Good family restaurant. Lunch, dinner, food for anytime, even to take away! Rice with roasted pork or roasted duck is a filling and delish lunch. Come with family and have crab or lobster in xo sauce or fried and salted (i think thats what its called). Don't forget to try the special fried rice or fried rice with salted fish. YUM.
I've dined here twice and the service is fast and efficient. Relegated to Vego options, the fried tofu was fresh and delicious as was the vegetables with mushroom sauce.
Cantonese food - the food of south-eastern China and Hong Kong - was the first Chinese regional cuisine to gain a foothold in Australia, and has since become the most popular. Over time it has morphed to suit mainstream Australian tastes, giving us "Chine
Richmond and Prahran has Pacific House and South Melbourne has Linx to provide the community with delicious Chinese roasts. Living in the North West, we have Golden Harvest that caters to our needs. We do regular visits to Footscray
Pretty decent food, BBQ pork was amazing. Don't let the appearance or location put you off this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Footscray. Great for large groups and families but can also cater for smaller groups, and couples. Difficult to get a seat if you're on your own, unless its later at night.
Pretty good, enoki mushroom with tofu and the duck was the best
I love the duck, crispy pork, fried combination noodles, fried rice and service you can only expect from an old school restaurant in Footscray
It is a great place with great Cantonese dishes. I highly recommend pecking duck on rice for first timers.
Good value and tasty authentic Cantonese dishes.
One of the better Chinese food places in and around Footscray.
Forget your Christmas ham order the suckling pig for Christmas and you'll never look back.
