Golden Imperial Palace
“I think it's more due to their location on 6th Ave vs the more well known Bklyn Chinatown on 8th that contributes
to this.”
“All my favorites are done well here — shrimp rice rolls, glutinous rice, taro cake just to name a few.”
“I can't wait to come back with a bigger group and try some of their interesting sounding soups and abalone dishes.”

Eating at Golden Imperial Palace was a memorable experience. The restaurant is a huge banquet hall. In fact, on the Saturday night we were there, a wedding was taking place, which was a lot of fun for us to watch.
The tables are big and round and most people dining there were in large groups although we were just a party of two. That definitely limited our options on the menu as most of the dishes are massive and meant to be shared family style. I can't wait to come back with a bigger group and try some of their interesting sounding soups and abalone dishes.
It was fun reading the menu, too (dishes range from typical Cantonese chicken, duck, pork, tofu etc to more unusual items like frog, sea cucumber, jellyfish head, and shark fin soup – although we weren't brave enough to try any of it).
Two of us shared some soup dumplings (4 pieces in an order even though menu says 6…$6) and one large dish of lobster in garlic scallion sauce served over crispy fried noodles ($26). This lobster wasn't on the menu but I had seen it on yelp so we asked the waiter and he knew what I was talking about. It was a huge portion and absolutely delicious, with a whole lobster cut into pieces and fried in a fantastic sticky sauce over a ginormous nest of noodles. For two of us, I'm very glad we shared this because it was more than enough. They also bring hot tea, pickled vegetables and boiled peanuts for the table. Service was fine and the atmosphere is fun. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food.
Terrible service.
My family came here for dinner at 7:45 and ordered food within a few minutes. 45 minutes later, we do not have any food coming out from the kitchen.
While the waiters try to help by giving you things such as peanuts or left over chicken feet to snack on, the service here is abysmal. We shouldn't be waiting 45 minutes for 1 out of 6 dishes to come out.
If I can give this place no stars, I would give it no stars.
We were here for a birthday dinner where we ordered from a set menu. We were given one of the private rooms upstairs. We turned on the AC to cool down the stuffy room and the air that was circulating was all cigarette smoke from a previous party. It was so disgusting and we had to turn off the AC and sit in the stuffy room with the doors open. We wanted privacy, but since we had to leave the doors open, we didn't get any privacy. I hope the health department sees this review and does surprise checks on this restaurant. They allow smoking in the rooms here which shouldn't be tolerated. I can imagine how hot this room would be in the summer since the AC would be needed. It's either you choose to breathe in second hand smoke or sit in a hot room.
Our set menu was extremely disappointing. It came with 9 dishes. 3 of the 9 dishes used the same exact ingredients, just cooked differently. I was extremely disappointed we were paying for something like this. The ingredients did not taste good. It was a mix of vegetables, mushrooms and protein. This was a rip off.
We got a Lobster Yee Meen and that was disappointing as well. There was hardly any noodles and the lobster was old. It was very rubbery and no taste.
If you can avoid doing the set menus here, I would, especially if it's in one of the private rooms.
"That place on 62nd and 6th" is consistent. The name of the restaurant is not.
I've been coming here for at least 10 years. Dim sum. Dinner. Holiday dinner. Birthday dinner. My parents love it. The food has been solid.
Dim sum is on par with all the other big establishments in Bay Ridge. All my favorites are done well here — shrimp rice rolls, glutinous rice, taro cake just to name a few. The shrimp dumplings/'Ha Gao' is nice and plump. Dinner spread is usually fine too. They have a bunch of specials often so my family of 4 usually eat for $100, more or less. My favorite dish–crispy shrimp with walnut is solid here.
Service is hit or miss. The restaurant is large and spacious which adds to the appeal. I have never waited for a table here for dinner. Dim sum, 20 minutes tops at noon. Parking lot is right in front but fills up fast. Never had an issue parking in the area though.
This was my first dimsum place that I visited about 10 years ago when the family went out.
And the second time visiting was last month.
Yep, this place food is definitely different from the others on 8th ave area.
It's like they say, the oldest establishment is always the one you go back to.
They are the only one that I know of that has this fried leek dumpling dish where is delicious.
I believe this place is the one with the most various of dishes. The only bad thing is the location is a bit far from the usual "8th ave" but it good if you have a car, but good luck with parking.
I've been here a ton because my parents love this place… though I think that speaks more to their love of routine rather than the quality of Golden Imperial Palace.
Pretty standard Cantonese fare with fine service. Portions are large so meant to be shared among big parties. Fresh dim sum that's pretty good. Other made to order dishes are fine but haven't really been blown away by any dish in particular. Large space with high ceilings. Ample parking in their lot or on nearby streets. Less chaotic than the places on 8th ave, but I'd say on par with what they have to offer.
Went here for a wedding. We had to wait three hours for any spec of food to arrive. I kept asking waiters when we'd be served, but no one knew. Once it finally came, it was just inedible. There's also no bathroom in the party section, which doesn't even make sense. Very disappointed with the lack of hospitality here.
Came here twice for dim sum and twice for dinner. Typical Chinese place where the food is average, where they have all the staple dishes offered elsewhere and service is below average, not because the lack of staffing but the indifference attitude. Location-wise, if you want a less noisy dim sum place, this might be the place for you.
They have their own parking/lot valet where you can drop off your car and they'll take care of things for you for $2. Street parking isn't difficult because it's in a more residential area.
Food is ok. For dim sum, it lacked consistency for me. Some dishes were hot and fresh from the kitchen, while others definitely sat on the steam cart a little too long. None of the special dishes that cost more were worth trying in my opinion.
Dinner was ok. Granted both times I went with a table of 12-15 people, which meant large orders. However, Chinese restaurants aren't like Western restaurants where the food comes out all at once. Usually dishes are served as they are made. That being said, I felt like their kitchen might be either inefficient or short because both times it took a really long time for the dishes to be made, despite the fact that the restaurant wasn't full.
Taste-wise, it was ok. Nothing special or memorable. Serving staff isn't the greatest but that takes off the burden of tipping generously in my book. All in all, an adequate place for gathering but not really a top choice.
Oh and $20 minimum for credit cards!
