The very first time I went to Golden Buddha was with my BFF and it was our first dim sum experience. Little did I know this would forever change my life and eating experiences. Although I must admit that first time was a bit awkward.
GB wisely takes reservations which was wonderful (even though it wasn't crazy busy). Our assorted dim sum plates were flavorful and fresh. And the carts seemed to be in constant rotation so we were never too far from a good selection.
What really helps GB is its location. The Cofco Center is an experience in itself, where one can have herbs specially blended, select a fresh member of marine life to take home and cook or browse through a store with one of the largest selections of Buddhas and hand fans I've experienced outside of San Francisco.
