Taste ‘Jai-Gantic’ Flavors

The red and gold exterior of Golden Palace Seafood Restaurant has been standing tall on the streets of Chinatown since 2001. Owned and operated by father-son duo Howard and Gary Lam, the family-run eatery takes pride in serving traditional Chinese food.

Howard has been cooking for most of his life, and it was his dream to open a restaurant. He almost always is in the kitchen experimenting with new dishes, according to his son.

In addition to tasty selections such as dim sum — including siu mai and bo choi gau — Golden Palace Seafood Restaurant offers a spacious dining room and customizable catering options.

With Chinese New Year less than a month away, celebrate the Year of the Monkey at Golden Palace.
