When you can barely squeeze your way through the door and see a bunch of old timers lined up waiting, you know it's going to be a good dimsum spot. I came for dimsum with my parents on a Sunday afternoon, and this place was packed! Amidst the organized chaos, grab a ticket and wait patiently for your ticket to be called. The numbers go by quickly, as Golden Bay is one of the restaurants that utilizes split table dining. The dimsum here is really solid, and probably one of the better ones in Brooklyn. Again, when you see older adults here with their families, you know it's good food. The cheung fun here had a really nice chew to it, and I enjoyed both the beef and shrimp rice rolls. The nice thing is, when the dimsum ladies here promote something as being fresh out of the kitchen, it really is! Everything we ordered was pretty tasty, including the chow mein. Service is attentive, and our tea pot was never left empty for long. Ambiance is typical of a dimsum restaurant, but Golden Bay is not as modern as Golden Palace or East Harbor. Regardless, food is tasty and delish for dimsum. I can't comment on the dinner since we've never tried it, but their dimsum experience makes me optimistic!

I love this place. The food is always fresh and tasty. The service is great.... The dining room is very spacious and ALWAYS filled to capacity. I highly recommend this GREAT restaurant.

Came here on a Sunday morning for dim sum and the dishes did not disappoint. We didn't need to wait despite being a large group but we did arrive pretty early, around 10am. This dishes came out quickly even when we requested certain foods. A great place for authentic dim sum.

Best time to come for lunch on the weekends if you're not doing dimsum is around 1:30PM. Noticeably quieter and you won't be waiting long for seats! Service was really nice and helpful. There are a lot of things not on their printed menu that you can ask the waiters about and they'll give you recommendations if they don't have certain things too. Most importantly, the prices are soo sooo reasonable for the dishes they served. We wanted the garlic scallops vermicelli but they said they didn't have that, and recommended us these giant oysters instead. They were freaking ginormous!! The length of my hands/face. Worth every penny for sure. They are under seasoned though so you should ask for some soy sauce or grab some sauce from another entree dish. But very plumb and fresh. Literally every table around us was eying our oysters, oohing and salivating haha. Sliced Conch with Tofu: fried beautiful, not too salty, seasoned well. Loved the juicy scallops with this dish as well Tai Shan Cauliflower with Preserved Meat: the preserved meat is super fatty in this dish but flavor is very good. Oily though, be warned! Wished that they could've cut some of the cauliflower a little smaller, those were stalks! Lamb Casseole: wahhhh sooo tender and flavorful! Definitely should get this one as well. Saucy and the lamb doesn't taste gamey at all due to the rice spice seasoning. Super generous portion

Had my 40th surprise dinner here and boy... did they deliver. Course this is the well vetted & frequented local spot by the family through and through so there'd be no hiccups really. True to order and in Chinese tradition- order 8-9 dishes for good luck. Everything was good or fcking great. Fcking crazy good: lobster sticky rice w bits of taro. No wonder they keep talking about this one. The baby beef ribs has a charred flavor- very well done. The eggplant tofu dish w viet/Thai sweet sour sauce is fire. Jellyfish is well a must, so are carbs, pea shoots, and a chicken. There's is a drunk wine one which is not really my jam but it's flavorful. Dam it's so good and I was in the BEST mood naturally.
