content: For our first visit to Golden Dragon we met some friends here for dinner who recommended it.  We walked in and I felt as if I were in a time warp, back to the Brooklyn Chinese restaurants of my youth.  Well, not my youth youth, since a morsel of Chinese cuisine never touched my lips until I was 12.  Every other Brooklyn Jewish family in the golden days of Brooklyn (oh, I forgot that now Brooklyn is trendy, so it's someone else's golden days),  \""went Chinese\"" on Sunday.  It was The Law.  But my family was Kosher, even at home.  No Chinese food on paper plates for us.  But I was a rebel, so the first chance I got, at my friend Regina's sophisticated Birthday Dinner Party, I ate the forbidden fruit.  Regina's mom promised not to tell mine, though she'd promised her that she'd provide Kosher salami for me.  Yeah, right.  Nothing like feeling different from your peers when you're 12.  And it was good.  And I was hooked.\n\nBut in those days, pre-Hunan, pre-Szechuan, pre-Mongolian, there was only Cantonese.  And that's pretty much what Golden Dragon is all about.  I can't say that my sophisticated palate still loves the blandness of that cuisine, but what we ordered was mostly very good.  Not so much the Hot and Sour Soup because, after all, that's not Cantonese.  \n\nEven though our dinner was fairly recent, I can't remember what else we ordered, except for some spare ribs and an excellent Egg Foo Young for appetizers, and we sampled our friends' very tasty walnut shrimp, but everything was pretty yummy and well-prepared.  The service was terrific.\n\nWhat bumps my rating from three to four stars is the value.  Where else can you get a 40 course dinner - if that's what you want - for $10.50?  Anything or everything on the menu, as long as you finish what you order.  No doggy bags.  None.  But clean your plate!!!  Oh, and they've raised the price a bit, since they now charge $1pp for tea.  But it was very good tea.
