Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had been looking forward to a Chinese meal! This restaurant did not disappoint! The service was top rate as was the food. Our only slight criticism is that two of the dishes was vaguely oily however this did not detract from the wonderful flavours!

Great service. Lovely environment. Bit disappointed with prawns in dumpling & rice flour rolls being overcooked & dry, like prawns had been cooked prior to being placed in the rice flour roll. Salt pepper squid, fried kway teow & vermicelli were tasty. Savory dumpling with...pork mince was delicious! Of course I couldn't eat it all, 50c per container for the privilege! Hint take your own just in case :)More

We did not have the same experience as the previous review, and view a Chinese restaurant with majority Chinese customers a good sign. The service was excellent, food presentation outstanding and the dishes we ate tasted so delicious, we managed to finish both plates! The...sweet and sour blue cod was a standout, our 2nd dish of lemon chicken very good also. We had a small bowl of fried rice which was enough for 2 people. Too full to order dessert. We don’t have a Chinese restaurant near this good at home.More

Good food but service is very clearly biased toward Chinese patrons. Other Chinese couples came in after us, were served before us and we were still sitting waiting to order dessert when they left. I guess I'd call that discrimination

We went for a reunion dinner and it was wonderful. As a Chinese person, I’d say this is the most authentic restaurant in Dunedin. The decor and service are perfect for a celebratory dinner and I enjoyed the steamed fish and battered mussels most. Highly...recommendMore

Visited on a quiet weeknight so service was good and food came out quickly. Nothing wrong with the food but considering it is Sichuan influenced, the spice was lacking. The owner suggested this was to cater to the local crowd but we were looking for...a bit more. The dishes weren't quite what we are used to but worth a try if you are in town.More

Golden Harvest was the go to place for Chinese cuisine in Dunedin. Our family has been frequenting Golden Harvest for over 20 years and the food has always been the best, that is until recently. Something seems to have changed in both the food quality...and service. I am not going to go into itemized details of dishes and what was wrong with them as this would be too extensive to list. I wish I could say that this is a temporary change, but the fact is that we have now experienced this downward trend for the past two months. Now we are looking for other Chinese restaurants which is sad considering we have had hundreds of family gatherings in Golden Harvest over the years, so many good memories. Our family will take a break for a while and go back one more time to make the final decision. However we do not have high hopes because the place may have changed hands and a complete turnover of staff. We wish them the best but we are not going to waste our hard earned money on bad service and mediocre food.More

Had 2 dishes for takeaway... fried rice and BBQ pork. Processed pork with thin sauce, lack of any vegetables in fried rice and as very bland and rice was sticky. Great service but food not up to expectations.

Tried this restaurant as we were sick of pretty ordinary chinese. This was certainly a pleasant dining experience. The salt and pepper prawns, lamb and fried rice were extremely delicious but found our chicken and Chinese vegetables very bland and boring. Service was exceptional. Overall...it was a extremely pleasant surprise and I thoroughly recommend this restaurant. We will certainly be back.More

This was a terrible Chinese restaurant. It started by us waiting to be seated at the door, we could see that the place was only about a quarter full, but know one was showing any interest in coming to show us to a table. Eventually...an elderly Chinese woman came over and showed us to a corner table. We waited for the menus, but know one seemed interested in serving us. I asked my partner if we should just get up and leave but we waited and eventually we were given menus, and there was also a clip board with a pen. Again we waited for someone to come and take our order, which eventually happened. I could go on and on but I will let the pictures tell the story. The food was terrible and pretty much inedible. Don’t go to this restaurant, it is terrible.More
