    I really wanted to like the food. Tried har gow, shu mai, charshui bow, shrimp with broccoli. Very poor quality and tasteless. Har gow was mealy pasty texture. Perhaps the roasted meats are why ratings are high. The basic chinese food dish was bland. Staff was friendly. "Cash only" was a surprise, glad I had some with me.

    My go to place when we have a big party and need food to cater the function... I'm willing to travel all the way down here to pick my my trays of Shumai (they are big) Har gow, sticky rice, Puto, Duck & Lechon just to name some of my favorites.... Yummy goodness and price is Reasonable.

    Feb. 2022 pricing.

    This is a review after 3 different visits to the store to provide more completeness. The 3 vists were on different days too (Wed., Sat., & Mon.) to gauge service and food quality at different times. The review is also limited to foods tasted from the roast meats and Dim Sum only. I have included prices lists as of Feb. 2022. As of this writing in April 2022, the place only offers take-out. Service is fine for a mom and pop place. CASH only please. Dim Sum - Not all Dim Sum are created equal. There's the higher end high-end restaurant qaulity, and "Street Food" level of quality. Golden Daisy falls in the latter category. Having said that, the food ingredientss were fresh, though may be of a lesser quality. For example, the shrimp in the Shrimp Dumplings were very small (though there were many!) compared to larger shrimp in higher quality places. Shu Mai was mainly pork with no visable shrimp. There may be chopped shrimp in them but I can't tell nor am able to taste from the samples. The item size was large for these items. The overall quality and taste of these items were consistent over the 3 I was times there. The standouts for me are the deep fried dumplings, the Bean Curd Rolls (Slight quality consistentcy issues on this one.), and the rice dumpling ("Jung", not on menu.). The Bao dough and taste were very good, though there's way too little stuffing in them. The pricing was very good compared to other Dim Sum places, which I believe makes this place worth visiting especially. Roasts meats - Only tried the Char Siew and the Roast Pork so far. The former is nothing to write about. The latter had some quality issues, but the taste is actually pretty good. (The last time, the lady dripped sauce on the crispy skin of the roast pork, negating the crispy skin texture { SIN! ], and was drier than the previous 2 times.) Overall, I am pleased to have tried out this place, and will very likely visit frequently compared to other places for the Dim Sum. I believe there are places offering better Roast Meats however. Regardles, this place offers a better bang for the buck for the cost conscious.

    Love this little gem on Beacon Hill! Don't let the unassuming and somewhat shabby exterior fool you. Inside you will find sublime BBQ pork, duck and crispy roast pork. The BBQ pork is lean, tasty and at $7 a pound, a real bargain. For around $300 you can purchase a whole crispy pig. This family run restaurant has friendly and attentive service. The portions are large and the prices are more than reasonable. Four of us could barely finish two dishes. Stop in and you will be sure to become a regular.

    30 lb piggie

    Review is only for catering experience - namely BBQ whole pig! In terms of presentation, serving the whole animal will surely make an impression on guests! We got a 30 lb piggie for hosting a wedding party for my sister. The restaurant is mostly BBQ takeout and they do have dim sum to go. It's really tiny and parking is virtually non-existent. The good news is that they will help you haul out the pig to your trunk if you park in the loading zone. As for the pig itself - amazing! Crispy skin and some if the most juiciest meat imaginable. All the guests enjoyed it and my uncle commented it was better than versions he had in San Francisco! 30 lbs of pig was quickly chopped up and distributed to the various families by the end of the day. Not sure who got to keep the best part though - according to Andrew Zimmer it's the cheeks!

    Shu mai & pork buns

    If you're fussy about decor or nervous about grimy hole in the wall places, you probably won't like Golden Daisy. English is barely spoken, it's cash only and the list goes on. I do not care. It's been my experience that some of the best food comes from the unlikeliest of sources. Golden Daisy falls neatly into that category. Seriously great dim sum. Probably the best shui mai in town. The bbq duck & pork are stellar and fresh. And the prices? Like a budgie: cheap!!! The staff is sweet and accommodating in a gruff way. Again, you'll either love it or hate it. Can't please everyone and Golden Daisy is about as unpretentious as can be. But it's very solid!

The pancakes were thin and crispy and the cucumbers were pickled and came as 2 pieces, wound in a spiral mound. On the first night we had pork XLB, full of bursting soup upon a bite. The fried rice was Ok but Hubby liked more than I did. The second night, we tried Dan Dan noodle. It was pretty spicy but had a nice flavor. We tried the chicken XLB instead. I preferred the pork XLB over the chicken. We also tried the pork pan fried buns, cane as 4 pieces and I liked them better than the XLB. Servers are nice but not very attentive. You place your order on the QR code and they basically bring you the dishes and drinks. Food arrived quickly.

    AMAZING PORK BUNS !…read more Honestly, wow. I really did not know what to expect when ordering from this establishment since it seems to be one of the few Asian shops along Pike Place Market. As an Asian-American, I'm typically pretty wary of Asian food shops in a predominantly New-American cuisine area. However, I am definitely very glad to have given this place a shot. You can expect to have your order taken and served in a relatively quick manner. The ambiance of the shop is similar to those all along Pike Place Market, a bit fast casual. Mee Sum Pastry offers a wide variety of dim sum options to choose from but they are known for their delicious pork buns! I had the BBQ Pork bun and honestly, it was one of the most delightful items I had during my trip to Seattle. The bun is nice and flavorful, with a soft, fluffy texture. The meat inside is juicy and plentiful, definitely a welcome surprise based on the exorbitant prices of the other dim sum items on their menu. I would highly recommend stopping by this shop, especially if you're into Asian cuisine. I would advise to steer away from the dim sum because it's way overpriced but definitely get their pork buns!

The XO seafood fried rice had fish, squid, shrimp clearly made using a well heated wok. The baked fish with corn with spaghetti - the fish was fried and crispy.

Not a fault of the restaurant - it's unfortunately a price to pay for being open late in international district these days :( but there was clearly someone experiencing homelessness that was coming in and out of the restaurant as he was charging his phone. So ambiance wise would not go if this is what you are looking for a late night place. But again not the fault of the restaurant.
