Fantastic service from the lovely staff. Great for a family occasion or byo with your friends. Special shoutout to Jo for looking after us so well
Lovely food, awesome staff, I tried food that I would never have normally tried, much to my delight, it was beautiful. Loved the prawn dumplings.
Best Chinese restaurant we have visited in New Zealand, the food is awesome, staff are super friendly and a nice atmosphere. Me and my husband are down here in Dunedin quite often now for work and always look forward to our visit �
All the food we ordered were great. Nicely done. Service is excellent too. Would definitely comeback again
This restaurant is excellent with helpful, obliging staff and the quality of the yum cha was superb. Particular favourites were the sticky rice and the red bean cakes. Numerous customers and bedlam but nothing was a problem and it was very affordable!
I brought a friend to this restaurant, and was very impressed with the food on offer. Much of it was food I've never tried before - I was very impressed with how well the food was cooked, how it was presented, and definitely the excellent service we received. This experience is why I should go to restaurants more - I got excellent value for what was paid, I wouldn't hesitate to come back in the very near future :).
Portion size is perfect for a big guy. The food tastes very good!! Within First visit and I am in love with this place!!
What a beautiful lunch could not fault it wonderful
The evening was wonderfull. Superb food,terrific service. We were spoilt. Attention to detail and taste spot on and
presentation great.just as well we had a student with us as didn't want to waste any.
Thanks Aunty Leah and Uncle Duncan. Our Auckland Easter tournament contingent had a very enjoyable meal on Sunday.
Love this place!! Great food great price and great atmosphere~ the manager is so nice!!
Beautiful food, beautiful people. Feels like home. Love you golden harvest XXXXXX
Been here several times already and have always been happy with the food
Awesome food and great service! We'll be back! Cheers for a great night!
个人超爱金和阁烧鸭和咕老肉~还有辣子鸡！roast duck ~sweet sour pork n deep fried chicken haha
Stopped by for a quickish lunch to see a friend off. They did have yum cha (that you order) but just went with a la carte instead. We ordered four dishes for four people but didn't end up getting rice as we had a noodle dish. The fried noodle was alright but the kung pao was amazing. The fried bread in the dish was delicious.
We noticed deep fried ice cream on the menu and ended up coming back just for that the following day since we were a bit pressed for time. It was worth coming back for. The batter was light and crispy and very moreish. It did take longer than expected to get though but worth the wait.
The staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Possibly the best Chinese restaurant in Dunedin.
Good variety of menu to choose from. Would definitely go here again. Very friendly staff and great overall service!

Amazing food and the friendliest staff! Went there for dinner and was over whelmed by how delicious and affordable the food was. $117.00 for 3 people which included 3 starters 3 drinks and 3 mains. Super great! Going to tell everyone I know.
Great food, great staff. Awesome place for a byo in Dunedin. Decent size meals and decent sized menu. Always a good time had at golden harvest
Love this place! They have the best yum cha in Dunedin. They have my all time favourite durian puff that tastes really nice and not too sweet. Their price are really good and cheap compare to those in Auckland, which I'm really surprised of. This place has a nice interior which a good restaurant should have. The service is also really good and quick. Looking forward for coming back here soon
Stumbled across this restaurant by mistake on an Easter long weekend when many restaurants were shut. What a great find.
First impression was of a clean well decorated Chinese restaurant. We were greeted immediately by a staff member and shown a table. They had a good selection of Chinese dishes specialising in Sizhuan cuisine.
We choose 6 dishes. Without exception all dishes were very tasty and well presented. Vegetables were cooked perfectly being crispy and not soggy. Meats and sauces very tasty. Service was attentive with staff being able to advise on the different dishes.
We left full and very happy having experienced good food and hospitable attentive service at a reasonable price. WE also booked a table for next day Yum Char before leaving Dunedin.
While I can read a number of negative reviews of this restaurant, we did not experience any of this at all. Thank you Golden Harvest for a great evening.
Read some reviews about a not so hospitable Mrs Golden Harvest - I got a smile out of her so all good. There was so much food and was so filling and tasty we had plenty of leftovers for lunch. Nice and quiet - location perhaps, tucked in the back of a small mall. Good place to eat just make sure you don't eat all day then you might have a chance to finish some of the dishes. Peeking Duck OMG yum!
I love Dim Sum and this place has the best Dim Sum in Dunedin. They have various dishes for you to choose. The atmosphere of the restaurant is good and not too noise. The staffs are nice and very helpful. The price is not expensive.
My family and I went there with friend's memo. It shows this is the best chinese restaurant around here. Sadly some reviews told me bad guys in here. But I've never seen that kind of staff. I saw only smiling mother and staff. Not to mention that, any dish was delicious. I strongly recommend sauteed vegetables and Char Siu Bao. My daughters love Char Siu Bao. But, unfortunately, I cannot find that juicy Char Siu Bao in Singapore and somewhere. I hope a lot of travelers try it.
I have been to Golden Harvest quite a few time and the food never disappointed me. Good selection of dim sum and other dishes are in good portions (and tasty!) which is what you expect from Chinese restaurant. The price is reasonable and their services are always pleasant and prompt.
We ordered take out from Golden Harvest I would have preferred to eat in but with dogs in tow we were unable to. Our meals were prepared quickly and ingredients were fresh. We ordered the prawn dumplings which were nice,the ginger beef with steamed rice which my friend enjoyed and the assorted veges and tofu with chillies which was my choice and I thought were okay but could use more chilli and seasoning ( but that's possibly just my preference as I like hot and spicy!)
I thought the meal was a good size and of average price. All in all I felt it was an average meal but I would try there again and choose to eat in insted.
Golden Harvest is my top choice when I crave for Chinese food in Dunedin. Pretty good range for the dim sums and a wide range of selection for dinner. When it gets too hard to choose I'd just ask the waitress or owner lady for their recommendation
Look if your in for the best Chinese in Dunedin, there is no better place. If your after the Dunedin's best service, well this is probably not the place to go. But when do you ever go to Chinese restaurants for the service?? Highly recommended, as good as we get in KL.
Craving Chinese we were told that Golden Harvest was the best place in Dunedin. It definitely didn't disappoint. Great service and yummy authentic Chinese food. The owner was extremely sweet and helpful, even walking us out and directing us to where we wanted to go next. Would recommend!
Unexpected surprise! The food was both light and tasty. The prices are fair and the service was friendly. I'd recommend this restaurant to my friends.
I've been going to this restaurant for the past 3+ years since I relocated from Auckland, and I must admit this is probably one of the most authentic places to have yum char in Dunedin..It's really hard to find the same quality of food similar to what I'm used to back home in Asia. I would recommend this place to anyone who craves good authentic Chinese food.
Golden Harvest is the best Chinese in Dunedin. We have been eating here for more than a decade and in the early years, we tried other Chinese restaurants in Dunedin but none were as good as Golden Harvest. The food is consistently good. I love the Schezuan dishes. Great Yum Cha as well. Nice atmosphere and great service.
The food is always on par. Service is off the chain, you can do no wrong in going here and ordering the BBQ pork buns. Crave them every time I'm back in Dunedin. Best chinese in town. Love it here!! The service is amazing and the staff are so welcoming
My husband and I have been going to the Golden Harvest for our weekly meal for the last 2 years, we have gone almost every week, we have not found a more authentic place to go, the chicken and sweet corn soup is the best ( and we have tried other places in and out of Dunedin), we love the salted fish and chicken rice, it is really yummy, we have tried a few different things on the menu and have not been really disappointed in any of them, and favourite is the sweet and sour chicken and the deep fried boneless blue cod in soy sauce when stunning to eat and when presented, we always have the Chinese tea while we are waiting and have found both Staff and Management always to be polite and helpful and we have found if you are friendly and pleasant they always show you the courtesy of being friendly and pleasant .
Being a regular visitor to Dunedin, I have a number of favourite eating places. Golden Harvest ticks all the right boxes - great tasty Chinese dishes, fresh scrumptious vegetables and loads of choice. It's always a busy restaurant when we eat there, which is a pretty good sign it's popular place for locals and visitors!
Always enjoy a visit to Golden Harvest when I'm in Dunedin. It's the most genuine Chinese I've found in town. Yum Cha is a must. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.
The Golden Harvest is a very nice restaurant in the heart of Dunedin, with great food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere. We went there many times already and always enjoy their Asian food. We highly recommend their dim sum, which offers many different choices.
We have travelled all over Asia and to us the Golden Harvest always reminds us of our trips.
Just enjoyed the most amazing dinner at the Golden Harvest. I would recommend the garlic prawns! Chicken Gong Boa, Singapore Vermicelli, and Chinese vegetables? The sparkling wine also was a real treat. Service is excellent. I thoroughly recommend.
The Golden Harvest is a special dining experience. A keen fan of Asian cuisine, I regard the restaurant as Dunedin's top Chinese restaurant. The food is always tasty with an extensive and varied menu to tantalize the diner.
The service is great and the friendly and welcoming atmosphere created by the hosts make the Golden Harvest a must do when dining out in Dunedin.
I've been to Golden Harvest Restaurant many times now over the years with family and friends. Selection is great and I can see they are putting in a lot of effort to introduce new dishes from time to time to offer something new, something different in the local Chinese dining scene (the menu comes with organized description and photo which helps a lot for deciding which dishes to choose).
Both lunch and dinner are consistently served to good standard. And contrary to some of the comments before this, I actually find the service team quite friendly to be honest. The sight of many returning regulars (including ourselves) speaks for itself.
If you are looking for authentic Chinese food in town where you can sit comfortably in a nice oriental atmosphere, I'd highly recommend Golden Harvest Restaurant.
Excellent food, best asian in Dunedin. Horrible service though - the waitress sat us at a table while she was on the phone and the food was about a 30 minute wait for 2 people while we were the only ones there
Update: revisit with coworkers and the service has been improved. $25 per person for a lot of dishes (yum ha) it was great value.

Revisit again aftet new owner. Service was much more improve. Some staff cannot speak English but it is ok though.
Service is ok, no chit chat after drop the menu and walked away. Can be expected. If you can't speak Chinese, they tent to drop menu and run lol.
We went for yum cha and food was good and fresh.
We ordered too much (you will see from my photos) Lol just FYI, they do charged $0.50 for a plastic take away box if you want to take left over home. Which disappointed as we had heaps of food $120 for 3 ppl but got charge for plastic box.
Next time I will bring own box, just in case I have left over again.
Sauces and water, you have to grab yourself at the counter. And some items only serve on weekend.
One thing they could do better is menu is in alphabetical order, as we can't read Chinese - took us long time to find items on ordering sheet.
Best Chinese food in the entire New Zealand and possibly even Australia. Family-owned and they have been here for ages. Food is incredibly fresh, you can taste that the blue cod is not frozen. The lamb is very nice too! Special thanks to the head chef!
This restaurant is inside a shopping mall which serves Chinese cuisine. You can also opt for dim sum for breakfast and brunch. The cooking here is overall really good but be prepared to wait for your food. We waited over an hour for our food to be served....kind of short of workers here. Anyway, it was Christmas Eve and most places were fully booked. We all liked the foods we had....the soya sauce steam fish fillets, mixed vegetables, 'foo yong' Omelette, and the steam scallops.
Amazing food, atmosphere and service! The cabbage dumplings and roasted duck are to die for. Will definitely be back! 😁
The best ever. Very nice and clean ambience, thought the food will be expensive but its just very slightly higher or similar as compared to other Chinese restaurants on the main street. The portion is huge and we ended up had to takeaway the remaining. The taste was fantastic, everything was cook to perfection. Waitresses were all very friendly and professional. Vegetarian friendly as well if needed. Absolutely best chinese restaurant in dunedin!
Visited on a public holiday so there was a 10% surcharge which was expected. However, food took a lot longer and waited 45 mins for our steam fish and was told it would take 20 mins. Was happy with the fish that arrived which was well presented.
Had dinner there a week ago, a party of 4 tourist. Found the restaurant by chance. The food was excellent. We ordered Cantonese dishes. If we had stayed in Dunedin another night, we would have eaten there again.
What's a lovely meal for yum cha on weekend😋
They cook the best Deep fried squid tentacles ever! I don't have a chance to take a photo of it because we've had 10 peoples whose love it badly🤣
Baked BBQ Pork Buns were so big which can fit my whole palm. I would say, their chef done a very good job.
In addition, warm atmosphere with amazing services. Thank you, we will come back for sure.
Amazing food and friendly service. This is a must try restaurant for everyone. Our favourite dishes of the night were the delicious Roast Duck that was tender and full of flavour and the Deep Fried Prawns with Salted Egg Yolk which was umami heaven.
we ordered 3 dishes which were all very good! special steamed fish- really great!
My fave Chinese restaurant in town. Great A LA carte menu and fantastic Yum Cha menu too. Their savoury dumplings and the BBQ pork buns and BBQ pork triangles are sublime. Great atmosphere. Good value too

The restaurant is highly recommended. Love the service and the food the most. Staff are very accommodating as well.
Tried the live paua (abalone) and crayfish from the tank a few nights ago. Both dishes were cooked to perfection! The paua was tender and juicy while the crayfish on the noodles were succulent and flavoursome - the best seafood dishes I've had for a long time! The szechuan pepper scampi, salmon sashimi and the dongpo pork belly were great too! I'll be back for sure!
Very nice chinese food restaurant, friendly and humorous lady boss. She shared about her husband’s Sew Hoy family history with us. We had a pleasant lunch here at Golden Harvest Restaurant.
Stopped by for a quickish lunch to see a friend off. They did have yum cha (that you order) but just went with a la carte instead. We ordered four dishes for four people but didn't end up getting rice as we had a noodle dish. The fried noodle was alright but the kung pao was amazing. The fried bread in the dish was delicious.

The staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Possibly the best Chinese restaurant in Dunedin.
The fillet steak and sizzling Peking pork were beautiful particularly. My friends and I had a variety of traditional food there and really enjoyed having dinner using a Lazy Susan. Very grateful for the good service we received. Highly recommended!!
