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.
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.
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!
