Golden Harbor Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Aurora

If you like authentic Chinese food, you will love this place. This one serves Hong Kong Style Chinese food. The key is that HK people are very health conscious. A HK restaurant usually can cater to your needs if you want a low salt and/or low oil stirfry for example. Just give your instructions when you place the order. Obviously, the soup is cooked in advance. I craved for a cup of Hong Kong Style milk tea. It was very nicely prepared.

I also ordered bitter melon on rice and it was delicious 😋. It was a great acid test as bitter lemon is not easy to cook. I also asked the permission from the young gentlemen next table to take a picture of their two versions of fried chicken wings with fries. My mouth is still watering as I author this review. 1. Lemongrass (dry) 2. Honey Pepper Garlic (wet)!! Enough said. The restaurant has just opened about 3 weeks ago. I went there just after 2pm for a late lunch on a Thursday. I didn't have to wait. But patrons kept coming in. There are not a lot of Chinese restaurants in Aurora. This one is a keeper. I will certainly come back to spport a local small business. They also serve a menu of afternoon specials at a discount price. ✨🌟🌟Please note that the restaurant is closed on Tuesdays.

I only waited for a few minutes for my food. But I would rather wait for great food than to go into an empty restaurant with very quick service and inferior food. To be fair, they just opened for business and I am sure have some tweaking to do...

At last a traditionl HK style cafe opened up in Aurora! After reading some reviews that it took over 45 mins to get seated another 45 to get their food, we decided to come early on a Sunday even (4:30pm arrival!).

Very fortunately we were seated right away as it was only half full. Decor of the restaurant is nice and bright, but not too big.

We decided to order the afternoon tea sets as they offer a nice value and we are not that hungry from coming so early. Not going to go into details of each dish but in general they are good and the portion is plenty. I would prefer a little stronger flavor but that’s not a deal breaker.

A couple of negatives. 1) the wait time for the food is real! It took nearly 30 minutes for the first dish to arrive and the last dish finally came when we finished everything else. The waitress realized and gave us a big bowl of soup while we waited. 2) quite a few noodle dishes were sold out because they ran out of noodles. It was 5pm so that’s a bummer. I am sure these issues will improve over time.

We will come back and try out other dishes when things run...

It is nice to have new addition to HK cafe restaurant in Aurora. You can tell that Aurora is in need of more this restaurant by the fact that people are lining up to this new location. The restaurant is not big and fits about 40-50 people. We waited for a while and waited some more after seated. Total about 1h until the food is served. Personally, this is quite common for new restaurant to be disorganized and have long wait time; minus 1 star. I hope they get better overtime.

Ordered the spring roll appetizer, taiwanese popcorn chicken, beef/brocolli crispy noodle, and peking sweet & sour porkchop; iced lemon tea and iced coffee milk tea for drinks. Dissappointed with the spring roll. It was thin & barely have any filling and only 1 was served. Considering it is almost $3, i was hoping it comes in a pair. The rest of the foods & drinks were on point. The kids loves them. They were reasonably priced, generous portion and lots of sauce on the crispy noodle.

Staffs were friendly, no complains. Will definitely come back but with the expectation of...
