Golden Century

Golden Century is one of Sydney’s best restaurants and also one of the best in the world. I began eating here in 1987 when I was traveling to Sydney every month. It was great then and has kept up that standard of food and service. It serves Cantonese seafood as its specialty, but also serves as good a Peking Duck as I’ve ever had, including Peking and New York. I’m not partial to vegetables, but their Heavenly Vegetables (stir fried asparagus, snow peas, broccoli and honey beans in a light garlic sauce) is as good as vegetables get.

Definitely the place to come if you want fresh seafood that cook perfectly. Higher price tag compare to other ordinary restaurant but you get nice food and comfortable seating in return.

We’ve been here quite a few times but we haven’t been here for almost a year. It was a special anniversary for us so we decided to return and were happy with the food and service. The lobster was delicious and fresh. We wouldn’t eat it anywhere else. The simple ginger and shallots flavours were perfect. The honey prawns were so tasty also. Highly recommended. It does get loud on Friday nights with the after work crowd but it didn’t bother us.

Food was great. We had crab in ginger and shallot sauce, steamed oysters and XO sauce. Fried rice. All great. Had a pigeon but very dry, not worth the $48 charged for 1 bird. Service was exceptional. We had 2 staff looking after us.

The XO Pipos was so spicy. We had to take it away ..

Best Chinese food in the area. Live seafood is fantastic!

I ordered their favors pipi and fish dishes but I wasn't impressed. Marigold does a better job with the flavorings. Service at Golden century was also not that great. I had to get their attention multiple times to clean the table or get more water

The service wasn’t very friendly to start, we had a reservation and they didn’t seem bothered about it. We ordered 2 entrees and 2 mains. First entree came out, pork spring rolls (had a lot better) then they brought out a main (salt and pepper squid) and the rice. We said we had another entree coming so they took away the main and left the rice, and then brought the 2nd entree, prawn dumplings were nice. Then they brought out both mains but on taking a mouthful of the squid it was cold and had obviously been left sitting from when it was first served. We told 3 different staff before someone said we had to talk to the manager. Told him the story, no apology, paid for the entrees and our drinks and we left. Sorry but not at all impressed...

Great lunch, crab hot pot was delicious!!

Yummy food.

Excellent food as usual, don't need a TV in the restaurant,however. Pipis and black bean, salt and pepper squid, beef and pepper sauce were really tasty.

Excellent good and service

Wonderful lobster. This is the best place for lobster I ever have had in the world so far!! A very busy restaurant, remember to make reservation before you go

All the dishes that we ordered were really good. The service was also amazing as the staffs were always constantly making sure that we had a pleasant dining experience.

Came here for seafood, food was expensive but the seafood was fresh and cooked nicely!

Best place for fresh seafood. Nice to see all the live tanks full of creatures. Restaurant did seem a bit shabby compared to previous visits. Smelt like stale beer. Could do with a revamp as this place really is a Sydney institution.

Beef seafood in town

Deliciously beautiful seafood and lobster

Loved the food, service was fantastic & definitely the best wine list in Sydney!
