Golden Unicorn

New York

4.0 (3.5k) dim sum $$
Closed

Golden Unicorn is a historic multi-floor Chinatown banquet hall that has been serving traditional cart-style Cantonese dim sum since 1989. Creators highlight its bustling banquet atmosphere alongside popular staples like shrimp shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings (har gow), rich pork xiao long bao, and signature pig-shaped custard buns.

Commenters push back on framing the restaurant as a hidden gem, pointing out its long-standing popularity and high profile. While some patrons still love it, several viewers warn that it has become a pricey tourist trap with declining food quality compared to other Chinatown alternatives.

  • Order the har gow, pork xiao long bao, and pig-shaped custard buns
  • Experience classic Cantonese cart service across its banquet hall floors
  • Expect a meal for two to cost around $50
  • Be aware that locals consider it heavily touristed with prices higher than neighborhood peers
