Are you able to walk in? Yes! Brunch is actually walk-in only (for up to 6 guests). We do not take reservations for brunch hours, with the only exception being if it’s for a private event/buyout.
How long is the wait? We typically have a line forming 15-30 minutes before opening on brunch days. By 11am, the average wait time is 2 hours and currently can reach 3+ hours during the busiest times. We have zero control over how many will people show up on any given day so please plan accordingly!
What is the wait process? Wait in line, put your name on the waitlist with our host, and take the opportunity to explore all Chinatown has to offer. Check out this digital directory for inspo or just wander around the corner for a coffee at Dreamers Coffee House and a pre-drink at Mr. Fong’s.
WHY IS THE WAIT SO LONG? Good question. We don’t know either. Our best guess is a) tiktok youths and b) brunch is having its heyday and we’re in the middle of the pancake bonanza? We highly encourage, instead, to make a reservation through the resy link above for literally any other time.
What if I want to ball out, brunch out, privately? We support that fully and offer opportunities for full and partial buyouts. Please email us at talkto@goldendinerny.com with the subject headline “BUYOUT [party#] [date of buyout]”.
