Old style Chinese restaurant serving expensive, but normally tasty food. Can't help but feel I'm part of a huge production line of food preparation and consumption.

My advice is to order the specific dishes you want rather than the banquets. They have a wonderful array of wines in the wine cabinets but be prepared to pay for them if you go high end.

We all 40 ppl went for lunch at Golden Century last week. The serve is very small even we chose the most exp banquet price per person but the size of dish is same as normal serve for 4-5 ppl. The lobster they provided to us was small too.

We are disappointed of their service and the rude waiters. I can probably say that there is no service. I won't return or recommend to anyone honestly. Golden Century is unlike before. I think there are better chinese restaurants in the China town.

I came here for dinner Wednesday night and thought the food was excellent. The barbecue pork and spring rolls for entree were great without being greasy. Fillet steak Cantonese style was tender $26 Crispy skin Chicken with fresh slices of ginger and shallots was light and juicy. But the pork ribs in Peking style sauce were excellent $21.

There are staff everywhere, and have their designated roles. They are polite and efficient. The venue can be very noisy, in our room alone I counted 5 children under the age of five, and one of them was screaming and crying for quite some time.

The meal came to $125 including 2 beers and glass of wine. Which I think is reasonable given the quality and size of the meals. I'll dine again at Golden Century.

This restaurant was a huge let down. I was expecting great food and great service to match. I was wrong on both counts. The service was bad. We had to ask several times for things that we had ordered. Not once were we asked if everything was okay, or if we wanted more drinks.

The duck pancakes were average at best with no duck meat on them, but duck skin only in the majority of pancakes that were served in our group of eight.

The salt and pepper squid was probably the best thing that we ate and whilst it was good, I can't say that it was the best that I have had. For the money that you pay, you can eat Chinese food that is better and have much better service.

I don't think that I would be in a hurry to return based on my experience and all the people in our group agreed.

My experience at this restaurant can only be based on what I have ordered: Oyster in XO sauce and vermicelli, Scallops in Ginger and shallots, Peking duck - crispy skin pancake wrap and cooked with rice, seafood Braised pot.

Overall, I have had better at other various restaurants. They ran out of the X-large scallops and oysters, the next size down was just as good in my opinion. Quite large. The Peking duck was a let down, Something about it was missing. The braised seafood was tender and soft, but missing something too? Based on other reviews, I guess I am better off ordering crab and lobster.

Good chinese food. Most asians recommend it. But boy, is it pricey. But I guess they do specialise in seafood.

Overall the food has been good on the half-dozen times I've been, and the service is prompt. However, that's the best I can say about the service. When it comes to the human touch the best I can say about the female staff is they're all well versed in empty, false smiles that suggest they can't wait to get away from you, while the men are adept at the silent, surly food thrust.

But for somewhere to go late at night, full points to them for being open until the wee hours, so many other Sydney restaurants have counted the cash and got the hell out of there.

I love this place, can't get enough of the salt and pepper squid and chicken hot pot!
Service is great also. You are better off making a booking on the weekends as there is usually up to an hour wait for a table.

This is one consistent restaurant; the food is always good and the service is always atrocious! I highly recommend the pippies in XO sauce and the lobster in garlic and shallots sauce. I also recommend that you do not wear anything nice because there is a good chance that a waiter will drop something on you!
