Reviews
Complimentary snacks:
Picked veggies – Didn’t try the pickled veggies
Peanuts – probably one of the odd taste/texture I have ever tried in all Chinese restaurants that I have been to.
Hot n sour soup. Not bad. Could be better. We were hoping to add some white pepper but no one ‘servers’ seemed to be looking our way.
Stir fried water spinach – young stems with the perfect crunch and tasty.
Singapore stir fried rice noodles – good
Szechuan Broiled beef – not sure why it is called that way but it is very tasty, other than the beef being too tough for my liking.
Ma Po tofu – no traces of ground meat but still good
Mongolian beef – good
Eggplant / good but on the sweet side.
Complimentary desserts:
green bean soup – good and rare because most Chinese restaurants give you red bean, green beans is much better than red, if you understand Chinese medicine.
almond cookies – good but too buttery. I personally prefer if it has more almond flavors.
Most of the customers were elderly and spoke very loudly. The food wasn’t great but I guess because the prices were low and we only tipped 16% for 6 people, it was popular.
If it’s in Fremont, I still prefer Pearl Bay, the environment and food are better.
Big party better make the reservation first .
I’ve tried quite a bit on the menu (see photo), and overall, everything tastes good. That said, a few dishes could use some fine-tuning. The chicken clay pot rice had barely any abalone — it felt more like a tease than an actual ingredient. The beef rib was decent, but for the price, I expected it to be a little more tender and have more depth in flavor. Fish was just slightly under-fried, missing that golden crisp exterior you’d expect.
Still, the wins outweigh the misses, especially for a casual dim sum meal. It’s not flashy, but it delivers on most of what matters. A solid neighborhood favorite if you’re looking for classic Cantonese comfort food done right.

Part of a restaurant group, Golden Bay is located next to Marina Supermarket in Union City. We went there for dinner.
For parties of 5 to 7 people, consider the “half portion” of the full set menu. I dont think it is advertised, you may have to ask.
For about $250, you get a very nice seafood dinner, including ginger lobster, small abalone, steamed fish, prawns and scallops, seafood soup, and so on. Dinner included their cold appetizer plate and stir-fried beef with mushrooms. Even the fried rice had scallops in it. The only complaint was the steamed fish as it was quite fishy.
Almost everything we had was well prepared, and portions were quite generous given what was being served
Service was polite and low-key. They were not snobby or haughty, unlike at some other higher chinese restaurants.
The atmosphere within the restaurant is relaxed. The space is large and quiet enough for conversation. It almost makes you want to linger, and that’s how restaurants should be
There is plenty of parking and the parking spaces are wide.
I recommend this restaurant. Consider going there with family or a small group of friends
First, the tea service was confusing and off-putting. We were initially served a pot of chrysanthemum tea that looked like leftover tea dregs — it was filled with broken petals, and we couldn’t tell whether it was freshly made or someone else’s leftovers. When we asked to change it to Tieguanyin, they brought jasmine tea instead. The mismatch was puzzling and didn’t feel respectful of our request.
Secondly, we found a strand of hair on one of the beef meatballs after a server helped us cut it. I have curly hair, and this was straight — clearly not mine. Unfortunately, the staff was extremely busy and we couldn’t find anyone to report it to, which made the situation worse.
Another frustrating part was the service style. Dishes were placed at the edge of our table, and we had to arrange them ourselves. The steamers were wet and greasy, and I really didn’t want to touch them with my bare hands. Even the stir-fried rice noodles with beef came on a very heavy plate, and we had to serve it ourselves as well.
The tea was served incorrectly twice, and we had to handle our own food despite paying an 18% mandatory service fee — that felt very unfair. Overall, this was not the kind of experience I expected from a dim sum restaurant. I sincerely hope the service can be improved for future customers.
Seems both the kitchen and front service staff changed from the past. Our dishes tasted bad – not as it used to be at all. We always order pretty much the same dishes. this time seems the kitchen was handled by assistants, instead of chef.
Out last dish take forever to come, so we asked the waitress to check up on it. The waitress pretty much told you to be patient and do not complain. Saying eat out is just like this and nothing can be done.
This experience pretty much ends my visit here. We paid and left. And we will never come back again for this bad food, bad service, and bad attitude place.
Sad that we enjoy the place for years and now we will never come back. Gone are the delicious food, friendly service staff and happy atmosphere.
By the way, today is new years eve, at prime dinner time, they had only 4 table of customers. That tells you some thing.
