This world famous restaurant was disappointing. My friends from Malaysia are regulars at this multi level place. There is an elevator. COVID restrictions made it awkward in the lobby as we attempted to remain staggered. Because there was only 2 of us we had waited an hour as tables of 3 or more were seated quickly.
However, I understood and remained calm.
We waited for our waitress. Our order took a long time in the world of dim sum. And the order was incorrect.
However, the waitress never returned.After 40 minutes we received our bill. The bill reflected the items that we did not receive.
Instead of correcting our bill, she brought the missing food. We did not want food when our coats were already on and the table was cleared.
The food was average.
I truly wanted to go because it is an icon.
However, I probably won't return on my own.

We hosted a family and friends dinner at the Golden Unicorn for our son's wedding weekend. It was a terrific success. They gave us four large tables in the front corner, used the best fabric tablecloths and napkins and chair covers. We pre-ordered the menu and the food was delicious. The service was excellent. They accommodated one guest who is vegan, at no extra charge. We were completely happy with the entire experience.

My family went a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. We were ten people. we were told we would seated in 45 minutes. After an hour and ten minutes, we were told that we would be seated in another ten or twenty minutes. Up to that point, they had generally avoided giving us any information or even speaking with us. So we said we were leaving. They then asked us for our vaccine info. They had not asked anyone before for this, and it turned out this was just a delaying tactic so they could scare up two tables of five and ask us to take that instead of the big table we had been assured we would have. I've been to the restaurant before. The food is greasy and not as good as Dim Sum Go-Go down the block. Plus, their behavior was and is deceptive. And you have no idea if the patrons have Covid since only we were asked for vaccine documentation. Avoid.

Awful/Avoid. God know how your food was prep and cleanness with the mass production/factory style. If you coming here with 2-4 people they have you wait and take a number. But does not honor the wait time. They let people who had 6 ppl pass everyone and let them seated 5 min. And the number were completely off. It's not worth it. 1 star because if there were 0 you deserved it. Golden Unicorn should be name Plastic Peony. To the women at the front "all of you" I discovered there were 3 locations. 1 main entrance and two outdoor space. The food that you think are coming fresh was a actually coming from the main 2nd floor to your outdoor space. The mass amount I witnessed concerned me on health and cleanliness of this space because no where there was a chief working behind this place but pre-ordered/reheat. You were fooled thinking authentic coming from here. There are many dim sum place in Chinatown that has not turned itself to a factory and god know what exactly you are being feed. Save yourself as a New Yorker go to Dim Sum Palace or smaller area. I do not support greed and fake smile and dishonest and this is not the place to go as a restaurant supporter. Take your money to restaurants to places that honor themselves. As a fact I hope health inspectors are checking out this place. It is not worth your wait...there are tons of places in Manhattan. This restaurant remind me of Chinatown selling you fake bags-only this is food. AVOID. Most importantly health.

Their customer service respond was they take larger group like 8 due to Covid to sit all large group together. Pretty much 6 feet apart does not apply here. But reality is I had the lady at the front told me. We have to take large group first. So there were many people who waited. Outside or inside there were large group seated first. It was very strange. What do you expect right Chinatown. This was worse than some ladies try selling me fake bags on the street in Canal.

Tips: If you want to go for food. There are better and cheaper dim sum in Chinatown. The food is factory style pre-prep and/heat.
If you want something classy. This is more like street style including the service. When I say street style more towards a little corner slum. Now thats different from street food. Eat with cautious.

Recommendation: Skip it. There are many dim sum places like Dim Sum Palace that's even cheaper and cleaner.
