About Golden Dragon Palace

Real-deal cart service in an expansive chandelier-lit hall—this is where Melbourne dim sum veterans gather when only traditional push-trolley dining will do. Steamers roll straight to your table packing plump prawn wontons, delicate soup dumplings, and flat rice noodles kissed with deep wok hei. Weekend crowds book designated sessions in advance, settling into comfortably spaced tables while teapots of chrysanthemum stay steadily topped up.

  • Traditional Push-Cart Service: Trolleys weave through the hall with hot bamboo baskets, letting diners pick dishes table-side as they roll past.
  • Dim Sum Classics: Diners point straight to the thin-skinned xiao long bao, plump prawn wontons, and classic Cantonese roast dishes.
  • Grand Banquet Hall: Spacious layout with high ceilings and chandelier decor offers ample breathing room for multi-dish family spreads.
  • Hassle-Free Parking: Dedicated parking lots both underground and out front keep large group arrivals easy on busy days.

    Kitchen masters prepare delicate dim sum specialties with generous, high-grade seafood fillings, fried crisp or steamed to order.
