"Golden Century Seafood This two-level Cantonese palace—connected by an escalator—is lined with tanks of live fish, crustaceans, and bivalves, which the staff will stir-fry, steam, salt-and-pepper, and douse in XO sauce to your heart's delight. There are many reasons the Chinatown establishment is beloved among in-the-know locals and hospitality veterans, and they extend from the warm, welcoming service all the way through the exquisite live abalone sashimi, mud crab hot pot, and private reserve range of wines. For a Chinese food adventure, arrive late (this place is open until 4 a.m.) and order straight from the live tanks. At least, that’s what the rock stars, politicians, and CBD chefs just getting off work do."

Had a weekend dim sum session here and while the choices were limited but the flavors were good and met expectations. The food was served hot which was nice, but there wasn’t anything impressive.

Loved it. Service was good and the quality of the food is excellent. You can really tell the freshness in the fresh produce and seafood/meat. Seafood is picked right out of the tank for you to see and they really know how to cook it. An excellent sellection of wine in their cellar too. International and a lot of Australian too. I can understand the hype and why Sydney's chefs come here after service.

Golden Century has been a popular Sydney Chinese restaurant for many years amongst locals and travellers. It is two levels and huge inside, with lots of tables perfect for large groups. There are even a few private rooms that can fit around 30+ guests. There is an escalator to the second level, which is where you can find the bathrooms. The food is delicious and comes out really quick and the service staff are pretty friendly.

It is unclear why this restaurant is so crowded. Even by Australian standards the food is very expensive, and it is only of acceptable quality and taste. Across the 13 dishes we ordered, from clams to duck to tofu, most of them tasted good enough from a small restaurant. We had to constantly try to get attention from the staff for any service, and the temperature was quite cold. There is a large wine rack with hundreds of bottles, perhaps this the reason people want to line up and drink expensive wine (we don't drink). There are plenty of other choices in and around this restaurant, my recommendation is to try one of them.

The food here was of great quality - the seafood hotpot definitely used fresh plump seafood and in particular call out to the fried tofu. A call out to the service which was quite poor, the waiters were not very attentive and we seem had to remind the waiter multiple times when ordering our wine and food.

One of the best Chinese Seafood Restaurants in Sydney and they still got it. I've been here for the business meetings, for dates, for hangover cure and more. Duck pancake, crab, lobster and Pipis are fantastic here. So as long as you order these, you'll have a golden food journey.

Good traditional Cantonese food. Efficient service. Amazing XO pippies with noodles and steamed fish. We went on a Wednesday night during the lunar new year period. It wasn't too busy. Shame about the YuSheng price was so high $118 for a small. Overall a good experience. $350 for four with five dishes and a bottle of wine.

It was good. Kinda pricey but I guess that's Sydney. There was a lot of msg in it so I was super dehydrated and had a tummy ache but I'm super sensitive to that. If I wasn't it was good. The salted cod fried rice was really good and so was the fried duck. The pippys were good too. Really liked that semi fried noodles under. The mushroom veg was a miss mostly cause it was super under seasoned.
