What Julia Murray doesn't like about Golden Century:

Golden Century, a well-known Chinese restaurant on the edge of Chinatown, has received mixed reviews recently. Some customers were highly disappointed with the service and quality of dishes, while others still praised their exceptional food offerings. The restaurant seemed to struggle with maintaining consistency and providing adequate service to its patrons. However, for many, Golden Century still remains one of the best Chinese restaurants in Sydney, known for its superb seafood and traditional Cantonese dishes. Despite the high prices, some diners believe that the quality of food justifies the cost. Overall, Golden Century continues to attract customers, but the restaurant may need to address its service issues to maintain its reputation as a top dining destination in the city.
