Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant

Firstly I'll say the food was not bad. It was the poor service paired with no air conditioning that really affected my rating of the restaurant. I must mention that there was a wedding happening when we were there but I still expect reasonable service where I do not need to ask at least three times for water and have to ask them to collect my dirty plates from previous courses of the banquet. It was not an enjoyable experience but the food was decent.

Really enjoyed my prawn, scallop and pork dumplings and crab claws. All soooo meaty. Nice ambience with lots of room for large groups and a constant flow from the yum cha trolleys.

My wife and I had Yum Cha here 4 dishes and 1 torfu fa desert. The food cart came around (only 2 x food carts) slowly and not a big selection. Food quality was average and on receiving the bill with a 20% reduction I paid $38.50 not exactly cheap. I asked the Lady (Manager ?) at the bar where I paid about why the bill showed 2 x something written in Chinese when we only had 1 each of 5 different things. She became rude to me and my wife so Golden Palace you just lost 2 regular customers. There are better choices in Cabramatta and Canley Vale where they look after customers.

Went here for yum cha on the weekend at around 12pm and got a table straight away. They had a good selection of food with some unusual ones. The dumplings all seemed to be hand made and were steaming hot and delicious.

This has been our family yumcha go to for a decade. Whenever we craved yumcha, we would readily visit this restaurant. It's the only yumcha I know and I love it mainly because it feels so familiar. Pros: reasonably priced. Great food! Cons: the Chinese broccoli takes awhile to get. Parking can be frustrating. We always avoid it on any special holidays because it's unbearably busy.
