New Golden Dragon

One of the best chinese restaurant located in salt lake downtown. They have a large selections of dishes on their menu and it very delicious. We order Roast Duck, Lomein, Salted Fish Chicken Fried Rice and Sweet & Sour Shrimp. They all very tasteful and staff are very friendly.

This isn’t the worst dim sum I’ve had, but it definitely isn’t the best either. The shrimp har gow was disappointing. The wrapper was really thick and doughy, and every time I tried to pick one up, the filling would fall out. The shrimp shumai was decent at best. The nai wong bao was probably the best thing we ordered, but even then, I wouldn’t say it’s worth making a special trip here for. What really took away from the experience was the cleanliness and smell. The parking lot and inside of the building had a really strange, unpleasant smell, and some of the plates and silverware were dirty. Overall, there are definitely better dim sum options out there. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

Solid 2/5 for Chinese food. Wouldn’t recommend. Wonton is factory made, vegetables weren’t even cleaned and had dirt on them lowering to score to a 1/5. Soup size is silly for $15. Id rather get ripped off at mcdonalds

I'm in SLC for a few weeks. I just got my kidney transplant so I'll be kicking it in the area for a while. With my time here, I must find all the local Chinese joints to hit up and eat at. This joint is one of the few dim sum joints in town. Dim sum is something we don't have in Boise. So with that being said, I will be making sure I come back to have some! But for tonight it's dinner. We did come more towards early dinner. It was pretty empty which was nice. The venue is an older joint. You can tell it's been around and done it's time. Usually a clear indicator that the food should be good! I'm not supposed to be around a lot of people so the fact it was empty made me feel comfortable eating here. We walked in and were greeted. Homie wasn't the nicest but he got us sat. The menu is quite huge! I love all the options available. And the prices! The prices of everything was reasonable. As much as I wanted something huge and hearty, I ordered the won ton soup with egg noodles. I thought the broth would be good for my soul since I have been living off of hospital food for the last week. I don't think my stomach could handle such a big, hearty meal. Nothing sounds more delicious than 7 or 8 different dishes with a huge bowl of steamed rice. The won ton came out in these big beautiful white bowls. You can smell the sesame oil from the broth. You see chunky pieces of the won ton. A good portion of egg noodles. And gracious portions of bok choy. The broth hit so good with that first sip. It was rich and savory. You can tell that broth had been cooked for a long time. The won tons were not lacking. They were meaty and salty. You get 6 big pieces of won ton. The noodles had a slight chew to them which was nice. Soggy noodles isn't it! I enjoyed a majority of my broth. I did eat a won ton and some of the noodles. That's all my stomach would allow. I'm so torn about how many stars I would give. The food was definitely a 4 but the service was a 2. We were not greeted nicely. The gentleman that served us didn't even check up on us. He was actually kicking it in the waiting area playing with his phone. It was another server that helped us when we were done that was actually kind. He was interacting with us, got us to go containers and our bill. I feel like that's your basic baseline of service and our original server failed. I know I will be back. I have read the reviews about their dim sum and they seem pretty legit. I enjoy the carts of dumplings and fried vodka being pushed around . The sound of people's chopsticks hitting plates. The loud noise of eating and being merry. It's the sound of my childhood growing up in the Bay Area and u can't wait to relive it! I guess I will finalize my ranking in a couple weeks when I got this joint up. But for today, they were ok with food and service combined.

Great portions and definitely a solid spot if you’re dining with a big group. The fried rice was delicious and full of flavor. The orange chicken wasn’t my favorite, but everything else made up for it. The space is comfortable for groups, and overall it’s worth giving this place a try if you’re in the area.
