Played hookie today with my nieces and went to Gold Diamond Chinese Restaurant. There were other families there playing hookie too. I could hear them talking at the other tables. :)
We had a fabulous time. And yes, right now they have a $1.88/dish special Mon- Fri 9am to 4pm. This restaurant is all about their shrimp dumplings. They were the best. Don't miss their pan fried shrimp and chive dumpling and their steamed version. Their deep fried taro dumpling was good too. And their deep fried pork dumpling looked good as well. I got the plain congee for myself and I didn't think my neices would like it because it's plain, but they loved it. I don't know if they really loved it or they were eating it because I was. Another dish they probably would like is the stir fried noodles with bean sprouts. They also liked the coconut milk soft cake. They ate the other stuff too.
I would pass on their cheungs (rice rolls) and their BBQ pastry and bun next time I visit which will be soon b/c I plan on treating my friends. Don't bother with their bolied greens nor their big noodle dishes (if you have to have noodles they have a dim sum size one #70).
I rate it a 4 taking into consideration the great deal they have on right now. Get the deal while you can - it must be a promotion since they just opened this year. Everyone should experience dim sum. If you are totally lost, they also have a TV beside the stage showing each dish. The place is so spacious and airy that your dishes can get cold fast. So don't hesitate to order two rounds, instead of all at once at the beginning. Go with friends. I am not sure if they accept credit card. I paid cash. These people work hard and deliver value so I made sure to leave a good tip. Don't forget the hot sauce.
