Golden Ocean Seafood Restaurant: Authentic Dim Sum Experience in Vancouver

I visited Golden Ocean in a Sat morning just when they started the day of business. Food is average for vegetarian dishes, maybe it's too early for the day. Rice rolls are nice. Overall, a good dining experience.

Long standing Cantonese restaurant in Kerrisdale! Solid lunch and dinner with some unique offerings. Started to look a bit dated but done some recent updates. Spacious and comfortable seatings.

Not many dimsum restaurants still roll out their dimsum these days. These guys still do. They make a few different items each time so the food comes out hot and ready. Service is fast and the old ladies are nice. They even changed our plates mid meal, which is rare these days for dimsum restaurants. Seats are comfortable, tables are a bit closer than comfortable, but overall reasonable for pricing and quality of food. Fried dishes are done really well. Steamed dishes are okay. Pastries are good, but not the most flaky I've had. Solid restaurant for dimsum you can see while you order. All dishes are considered not too sweet and not too salty in my opinion. Taste is good and would come back as they're also not too busy and easy to get seating.

Few things hit the spot for brunch quite like dim sum. At Golden Ocean, the plates seem to arrive in an endless wave . My personal must‑have is the sticky rice. For vegetables, I go for the garlicky pea tips, and I can’t resist the pan‑fried turnip cake. I would have posted more photos but I ate the items.

Golden Seafood absolutely deserves a 5 out of 5! This restaurant is truly the ultimate spot for a dim sum party experience—once you sit down, the dim sum just keeps coming out, and it feels endless in the best way possible. From the very first bite, you can taste the authenticity of their menu. The flavors are rich, fresh, and exactly what you’d expect from a place that takes pride in real Asian culinary traditions. Only those familiar with authentic dim sum know which ones are truly worth it, and Golden Seafood nails it across the board. The service was just as impressive—fast, organized, and attentive without being overbearing. The staff made sure everything flowed smoothly, so we could simply enjoy the food and the moment. What I love most is that every dish that came to the table was tempting—you’ll seriously want to try everything on the menu because the quality is consistent all throughout. If you’re craving a genuine dim sum feast with outstanding flavors, efficient service, and a fun, lively atmosphere, Golden Seafood is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back again soon!

I visited Golden Ocean Seafood Restaurant and enjoyed the nostalgic Hong Kong–style atmosphere, which brought back good memories. The food felt very traditional HK style. The staff asked several times whether we wanted dim sum items that were not listed on the menu. Overall, it was a classic Hong Kong–style dining experience with familiar flavors and atmosphere.

This is a hidden gem for Chinese food. My boyfriend found out about this place. The food is great and so big. Their crab craw is like double side compared to the other Chinese restaurants I have been to. I will definite come back here, and I highly recommend this place

Easily one of the top 3 dim sum restaurants in the city of Vancouver. Order lots and take them out for dinner
