Busy but no wait on a Saturday during prime dimsum hours. They have lots of seating! The service is plentiful and they come around with carts very regularly. Overall their items are good but not as consistently as other spots in Brooklyn. Get the bean curd skin roll. Skip the har gow, which is sad because it's one of my favorites

Good service and nice staff for Chinatown restaurant. Food is good depending on what you like. Too many different items to list but my favorites were the shrimp dumplings and cream egg deserts. Prices little bit high. But worth a stop in for some authentic dim sum.

Stopped into Golden Unicorn for a mid week dim sum while in the city for work and man am I glad I did! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! Highlights included the steamed shrimp dumplings, turnip cake, shumai, piggy buns and pineapple buns. The servers were attentive, and the cart servers were abundant but not overly pushy. I will be back!

Truly exceptional dim sum - easily detectable from the standard imports. Sesame balls were soft and melts in your mouth. The radish cakes tasted like they were freshly made. The phoenix claws were flavorful. Cart ladies were pushing their dishes as usual, but not overbearingly so. Overall, we were delighted with all our choices, and certain that you'd enjoy the food if you were here. Highly recommend.

My partner and I stopped by Golden Unicorn on a Friday night at around 5:40pm. We went straight up to the 3rd floor to inquire some party information. To our surprise, Golden Unicorn (which I have never been to before), is modern, spacious and clean. The staff are extremely helpful and quick on their feet. I am also stunned to find out that they not not only owned the 3rd floor, but also the 2nd and 5th floor, while the 4th floor is the main kitchen. On the ground floor, they serve dim sum from morning until night. To sum, I think Golden Unicorn owns this whole building on East Broadway. Though they only utilize the 3rd floor for weekday dining experiences. And the secondary floors for parties and wedding. Each floor is spacious and it came with great lighting and two small bathroom stalls on each floor. The food is great but the prices on the higher end in comparison to the other dim sum places in a Chinatown. As the night progress, the crowd keeps on coming in. Mostly locals who speak English. The services are quick, the food comes out fast. It's a nice place to sit down but it's expected that the crowd and the noise level will go up. I would recommend this place for your out of towners and locals alike, and especially those who have never had dim sum before. It's a good place to introduce your friends to Chinese foods to.

I was lucky enough to come here for a wedding for a 10 course dinner - the food was amazing but I'm afraid to look at the prices! The all-star item in my opinion was the roast duck, served in an amazingly soft mantou with an even more amazing sauce! Even the Chinese broccoli was so good, with mellow roasted garlic and cooked in an oil that was so smooth it tasted like butter. I forgot to take a picture of everything except the super cute warm custard buns decorated with cute little piggies on top. My kids were so excited to try them for breakfast the next day. A NYer told me that this is one of the best dim sum restaurants in NYC and I believe it!

I really enjoyed all of the dim sum options and the endless carts of buns and cakes. Coupled with the endless pots of tea, this is a great experience for those interested in trying lots of different items or those in a group and wanting to share. It took us about an hour and 20 minutes for our table of 13 to be accommodated. People need to arrive at the same time to be seated. The staff was friendly and kept checking on us throughout the meal. We went with a Jasmine tea and a Pu'er tea. As long as you take the lid off and leave the lid ajar, they will continue to fill your tea. My favorite bites were the steamed pork buns, the rice roll noodle with barbecue pork, the Chinese Broccoli, and the steamed piglet puns. There are lots of vegetarian options as well. The eggplant with garlic sauce, green beans, and steamed bean curd skin rolls were all very delicious. We went for Lunar New Year. Don't let the common exterior and corporate lobby dissuade you. Once you make it up the stairs or elevator to the dining room, you are bound to be surprised. The table was dressed in a bright red cloth, there are opulent chandeliers, and the waitstaff is dressed with vests and bow ties. It's a well run ship with courteous staff and delicious foods.

First time back in 2 years and I will say that it was a better experience this time! My qualm last time was the quality of the food (didn't taste fresh, came out lukewarm). This time I felt like the food was better. My fave spot is still House of Joy, but I think this place is a solid option as well. They come around with the carts and you can also order a la carte. They have all the usual dim sum staples, plus some unique and very Instagram worthy dishes. Came with a group of 7 people on a Sunday and wait was around 30 minutes - your full party must be there to get seated. Restaurant is large and can accommodate very large parties.

Dim sum is one of my favorite foods, so getting dim sum in NYC Chinatown was a must-do during my trip. It was dinnertime. I first went to Nom Wah and waited in line for over an hour. Finally, I was seated and was ready to order a bunch of food, but I saw the note on their menu that says American Express is the only credit card accepted. I only had enough cash for one item, so I quickly ate and went to find another place to satisfy my dim sum craving. At this point, it was almost 8 P.M. Yelp told me that Golden Unicorn was nearby and still open, so I bolted over. The restaurant was a little confusing to find. The entrance is on East Broadway and not Catherine Street, which seems to be for take-out only, and you have to take an elevator up to the restaurant. The restaurant is huge. It looks like the typical Chinese banquet space used for weddings and parties. It was busy, but there was a table open, and I was quickly seated. The staff was fast and courteous. There were no dim sum carts during dinnertime, but dim sum is served all day. The menu had ample options, and I ordered har gow, siu mai, chicken feet, and steamed spare ribs. Maybe it was because I was so hungry, but the food was amazing and hit the spot. NYC Chinatown dim sum did not disappoint, and Golden Unicorn is a good spot for it. I will go to Golden Unicorn again. They take all credit cards unlike Nom Wah.
