What People Are Saying About Golden Unicorn
The Editor
Allison Austin
Citysearch
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…

Reliable dim sum, a little expensive
by nobananas at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Food, prices, seating
- Cons: Service, prices

Decent Food and Attentive though Rude Service
by lexislee2002 at Citysearch
I went here last night with my best friend and boyfriend. While the food was very tasty and served in huge portions, the service has made me not want to return. When the waiter brought the check, he stood there for me to write in his tip and take it away at that moment. I tried to buy time by putting away my card but he stood strong, with his hands behind him, just staring at the table. This flustered me. I normally ask my friends for input in calculating a respectable tip but with him staring at me I just doubled the tax and wrote that down. So he immediately takes the receipt and doesn't just walk away, but stands at the table and inspects the tip right in front of me! I just found this ridiculous. That aside, the food was good and the other servers were wonderful. Perhaps I just got the bad apple but that's all I have to go on.
- Pros: Value, Spacious Dining Room
- Cons: Rude Service
The Details on Golden Unicorn
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.
