Golden Sun Palace 香港樓 — Restaurant in Milpitas

After visiting with a friend in Campbell I came out here to be celebrated by my wonderful parents for my birthday. The restaurant was nearly empty and had patrons at only 2 tables. I don't believe that this is a sign of their quality. This was a weeknight on a holiday week so I imagine business was just slow. I've been here before, and it has become a favorite of my parents. My mother being the excellent cook she is, when she likes a place, it must be good and this place is pretty good. We ordered 3 plates. My dad always orders the Beef Chow Fun and this came as a surprise to me because I also love the chowfun and have generally considered it a low end Chinese food item but I love the fact that my dad adores it and that I likely got that taste bud from him. Their Beef Chowfun is classic good. Green Onions, Onions, sprouts, noodles and beef. Their beef in this dish is stand out since it is not only generous, but it was tender as well. Oily and not saucy. Not complaining, both versions are solid but it does vary depending on where you get it. Dry is also a variation but my least liked of the versions. This one is oily. Also had classic Mayo Shrimp with candied walnuts. Shrimp tasted fresh and good and mayo was not oiled out. It was still mayo. Candied walnuts were lightly candied and not dark or heavy shell candied. light on the sweet. Third dish was what I think is a thin sliced pork BBQ... thing. Deep fried and sauced? My mom liked this one in particular. Yeah. It was good. Other dishes I have had here have been solid from past experience. Their dessert was a bean and tapioca ball sugar soup thing. It was good. Kinda like mom used to make but I found the consistency of the stuff to be softer than I expected. As in really tender. This is neither good or bad but my preference with this type of dessert is for it to have a little push back. And there were these little sesame cookie things... a bit dry and powdery for my tastes. My only single complaint was that for a mostly empty restaurant, it took a pretty decent amount of time for the food to come out. We were in no rush so it was fine, just unexpected and this is not a fast food. At the same time, you know everything was freshly made. This is classic good Chinese...

Finding myself in the midst of a garden cleanup on a serene Sunday morning, my cravings for dimsum became impossible to ignore. Fortunately, DoorDash was there to save the day. With a few quick taps, my order was placed, and in what felt like the blink of an eye, a friendly DoorDash driver was greeting me at my door, handling my food with the utmost care and a smile that matched the sunny day.

I had chosen eight different dishes, each promising a taste of Hong Kong’s authentic culinary landscape. And promise they did! The quality and flavors of the food were outstanding, capturing the essence of traditional Hong Kong dimsum with every bite. Whether it was the tender, flavorful dumplings, the perfectly steamed buns, or the savory rolls, each dish was a testament to the chef’s expertise and the rich culinary culture they represent.

The fair pricing was the cherry on top, making this indulgent feast feel all the more satisfying. It’s not often that you find a place that delivers not only on taste but also on value, and this restaurant nailed it.

For anyone looking to explore authentic dimsum or simply in need of a delicious meal without the hassle of dining out, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Thanks to DoorDash, my Sunday gardening chore turned into an unexpected culinary adventure, making for a truly memorable morning.

Golden Sun Palace is my go-to spot for dim sum. I visited on a Sunday morning for a family breakfast.

Food: Ordering was straightforward – a limited a la carte system here. You just choose from the menu, point out the dishes and quantities, and they bring it to you. Everything we tried was delicious, fresh, and perfectly crispy if it was fried. No complaints about the food!

Service: Service was typical for a dim sum place. The staff didn’t check in much, but they kept our tea refilled, and they seated us right away when we arrived. Overall, service was just fine.

Atmosphere: Surprisingly, it was less crowded than I’d expect for a Sunday morning dim sum place, which was a nice change. There was plenty of space between tables, and the decor felt like a classic family-style Chinese restaurant.

Overall, I’d definitely come back for dim sum. Ordering from a menu felt quicker and simpler than waiting for carts. For groups, about two dishes per person is a good amount....
