What People Are Saying About Golden Unicorn Restaurant Inc

The Scene
Mammoth and multi-storied, the restaurant's decor consists of pink upholstery on glossy black chairs, tables for two, four, six and more scattered about, and the centerpiece--two golden dragons with light-up eyes set behind a stage. During weekend brunch, carts are pushed around the tables non-stop; weekday dim sum service is less frenzied.
The Food
Although a standard Chinese menu is offered, most diners come for dim sum. Carts here have pictures on them--handy when a language barrier rears its ugly head. Be sure to stop the steaming carts for pork shu mei and fresh fish balls. Don't miss the barbecue pork-filled buns--they're addictive--but skip the gummy, bean-filled steamed sesame buns. For the daring dim sum-goer, tripe, duck webs and chicken feet fit the bill.

Golden Unicorn is a great place to go to for fresh dim sum. The line can be a bit long on the weekends, and the service can be overwhelmed. However, the abundance of food is worth the trouble and wait.

Had a recent experience that was disappointing. Very few offerings - only two or three carts with the same food cirulated. Service was not good - difficult to get water. I rated it at three stars because previously had been good - but wanted to make you aware of recent disappointment

If you're ever craving dim sum, you can find some here. There's nothing really special about the place, but it is there if you need it. The egg custard dessert is pretty good so I recommend you get that if you ever go here.

Know Before You Go:
On the weekends, when dim sum is most popular, it's best to get to the restaurant before noon, when the rush picks up steam.
