Good Day Seafood Restaurant

On a weekend visit from upstate NY, we stopped by here for a morning dim-​sum brunch as it was recommended by local relative. At 9:30 am we were promptly seated. Great service with tea refills and friendly dim-​sum ladies keeping the «push-​cart tradition». Ordered many items including black sauced chicken feet, baked char siu bao, shrimp dumplings, rice noodle wrapped youtiao, & many more items. 3 people … $ 24 bill … happy stomachs filled with variety of goodness. Upon leaving at 10:30 am, people wait for an open table by the entrance at this popular Restaurant.
My only dissatisfaction? Insufficient attention with the minimal dim-​sum carts on the floor & no dish order item before 11 am… Issues that are likely to be addressed on my next visit!

Good Day is the latest iteration of this dim sum and Cantonese restaurant. Once famed as World Tong when Joe Ng was the dim sum chef, it has long passed the days when it was worthy of a lengthy trek, but it remains a good local option for dim sum.
Mid-​size dining area, mostly large tables for groups or communal dining. Dim sum on weekends gets busy by 10 AM, with a wait. Food is brought around on carts, occasionally by tray for specialty and more limited items. Their weekend selection includes more variety, and less commonly available dishes, although not as extensive as Golden Bay on 86^th Street. Quality is overall good, seldom exceptional. Black bean spare ribs on rice noodle is a highlight.
Reasonably good, well-​priced dim sum, better than what Bay Parkway restaurants have to offer, but not better than what can be had on 86^th Street or Sunset Park. Everything can be ordered to-​go, and they have decent roast meats also.

Long wait time because this restaurant is family size, quite small! The dim sum quality is ok, selection is limited compared to east harbor restaurant in 7^th Ave. The noodles and rice dish are fairly large portion and taste pretty good. All in all I rather go to east harbor for better décor and dim sum selection. But if u r lazy and near by and can settle for less and don’t care about selections then this is the place to go!

An ok place to come for food. I ordered take out food and they were ok. Nothing great or nothing bad. An-​Ok…

Always come here for dinner. They usually give us oranges, coconut pudding (super yummy), and tong Sui if they haven’t given it all out yet. The dinner food is usually pretty tasty. I went here for lunch for dimsum today and I was pretty disappointed with the service. The ladies with the cart is always super rude. I said one sentence «what are you stamping for?» She got really offended saying I’m obviously stamping (that) food. What? You think I’m ripping you off? — I really didn’t care for that couple of dollars… I literally ask one question and they got so offended like this is their life right here, over one platter of food. It actually happened a couple of times during one meal… They really need to change their attitude.
The waitress and waiters on the other hand had really great customer service! Always getting my tea and other requests. Just disappointed that I had such an unpleasant meal when the cart ladies act like they want to fight me over a couple bucks.
The food was alright. Nothing special, kind of bland really. I wouldn’t go to this place for yumcha because I know better places with better food. I like their dinner dishes here though. I would come here for dinner platters only.

This is my go to dim sum restaurant in Brooklyn. The dim sum is super fresh and delicious. The wait might be long at times, but that is expected at peak hours at any dim sum restaurant.
We also come here a lot for dinner, and it is outstanding. Servers are respectful and the food comes out in a timely manner. Most importantly, the food is delicious. This restaurant offers the most authentic Cantonese cuisine.

Food is only good if you rather settle for not traveling,
I rather go to 8 avenue,
The food is better and less money there.
My parents come here because they do not drive.
I rather would not settle for this place.
The service here is bad too,
Because they only game on 18 ave, there attitude shows it.
When you walk past the side door do not look in.

Good day = Sunday. This place has been our go-​to Sunday family dim sum joint for the past few years. Like all other dim sum restaurants, this place gets incredibly packed on a Sunday. It doesn’t help that Good Day is a tad bit smaller than other dim sum parlors so the wait can be even longer. Nevertheless, we come here earlier to try to nab a table.
They have all the basics dim sum fares that you can find in other places. Their standouts include:
Salted chicken feet: Good chilled appetizer
Spare ribs cheong fun: if you like spare ribs and if you like cheong fun, you would like this. The cheong fun doesn’t puff up from the sauce like other places so that’s a big plus.
They also have an additional menu where you can order additional vegetable, noodles, and/​or rice dishes made to order. It can get a bit greasy but what can you expect, it’s dim sum.
I believe the highlight here would be their roast meats. If you ever make a visit here, don’t forget to order either their roast pork or salted chicken. Both are delicious and incredibly affordable.
All in all, Good Day is pretty good place to get your dim sum on. While it may not be the most comfortable (but comfort generally isn’t your concern when getting dim sum on a Sunday), it is a great place to enjoy all your favorite dim sum needs.

It’s been over a decade since I dined at this restaurant. I believe that the restaurant changed owners and staff over the years since I’m pretty such it used to be called something else.
Came here Sunday at around 6:30pm for dinner. The restaurant was still empty. By 7:15pm, it was a full house.
Smoked sweeten pork belly — This is essentially fried pork belly marinated in a sweet sauce. It was an interesting way to eat pork belly. Each slice was thinly cut. I liked it, but some people in my table didn’t.
Sautéed fried tofu and fish — Presented to us in a large clay pot. Tofu was firm on the outside, and had silky soft tofu in the inside. Fish pieces were ok.
Braised vegetables in dried scallop and squid broth — was okay. Nothing too special. The dried scallop and squid made the whole thing a little fishy tasting.
Garlic stir fried mixed vegetables — cauliflower, wood mushroom, and carrots stir fry with a lot of garlic. Very strong garlic flavor, which I liked.
Whole Chicken — We got the chicken with the least amount of seasoning, I guess you can think of it as original flavor. The meat was smooth and tender. Not overcooked.
Fried pork chops in sweet sauce — totally recommended. I have a major sweet tooth. This dish was cooked perfectly. The pork chops were crispy, but not dry. The cut of meat was mostly lean with a little fat. I love the sweet sauce. Goes perfectly with rice!
Desserts are complimentary!
Red bean sweet soup was good, not too sweet. There wasn’t much beans in the soup, mostly water.
Orange slices and coconut jello — The coconut jello was delicious! They do not skimp on the coconut milk nor do they water it down. I ate almost ¹⁄₃ of the jello!
Overall it was a very good meal. The prices were good. Six dishes fed 8 people.

Typical Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn and elsewhere in NYC. There isn’t much that separates this particular place from anything else nearby. The best thing about this one is the food is good enough so that you won’t have to go all the way to 8^th Ave and wait 3 hours for a table.
Just as any restaurant, try to avoid the dinner rush times because there are a lot of large family gatherings here during the weekend nights. You can find all the usual offerings for around the same prices. It’s almost like there is one large board of directors for all the Chinese banquet restaurants…

typical chinese restaurant. came here for dinner with a group of 12 friends. it was only 630p so there were a lot of tables open. but by the time we left, the place was full. food was good. service was good. i’d come back

Came here for lunch with the family. The biggest table they have only seats up to 13 adults. We also have small kids and just cannot fit the high chairs and booster seats. The place is jam packed on the weekend for dimsum and lunch. Many people opted to share tables since the wait was so long. Food was packed with flavor, really liked their take on Cantonese style fried lobsters. They deep fry the lobster and pour yolk bits on top. If you are celebrating a birthday they do have a good selection of desserts with mini lotus buns, and coconut pudding on the side. Price is average for Asian Seafood restaurant

Any dim sum place that serves my green fried sweet balls filled with black sesame paste is a winner in my book. So this review is for dim sum only. Fast, efficient, good, the usual staples, the wait was kind of ridiculous but its the only dim sum place for a few miles so I get that part. Would go back and go earlier!

Stopped by here 2 – 3 times when running errands in the area. It does not disappoint.
Its one of those authentic Chinese food spots with the peking ducks hanging in the window.
I usually get a quarter duck over shrimp fried rice. Everything is usually tasty. These type of places come with many flaws. There is a language barrier you would think they place one English speaking server but NO!
Its not kept the cleanest, no modern renovation and the price is not a killer but not discounted to make up for all these flaws.
Will eat here again when in the mood for that style cuisine.

Been here a few times for dim sum now, and the overall experience is okay. Know that when you come here on a Saturday/​Sunday between the hours of 11am-​2pm, it is going to be PACKED, and you will definitely have to wait for a table. If you come towards the latter part of that time frame, there is much less dim sum going around. Seating tends to be a bit on the disorganized side, but that’s how these dim sum joints roll.
Our weekly brunch is usually under $ 20 despite ordering 5 – 6 dishes. We’re quite happy with that price considering this feeds 2 adults (with a baby on the way), and we usually have some to take home as well. Some of our favorite dim sum items are:
— Steamed beef balls
— Shrimp rice noodles
— Beef rice noodles
— Turnip Cake
— Durian Pastry
If you don’t come in with high expectations of quality service, it is an all right experience overall.

Well first I would like to say that this place is CROWDED. And loud. If you’re not into that or if you feel out of place around a lot of Chinese people, stop reading and go to Golden Unicorn in Chinatown or something. But if those things don’t faze you, let me talk to you fo’ a min.
1. Either be Chinese or bring a Chinese friend (that speaks Cantonese/​Mandarin. Or if you want to go the language barrier route, have at it. Orrr if you’re that dim sum savvy and can ask for a Siu Mai without making a fool of yourself, respect brah.
2. Delicious food but could be kinda oily. Drink your tea straight up while hot. Helps alot. Also, its the real way to «yum cha». Ice water is for noobs. Are you a noob?
3. Lastly, I recommend you try everything… There’s something for everyone here. But most of all try the brown angel food cake (not sure what the Cantonese name is). Its made with a special kind of unprocessed sugar and has a distinct flavor. This place is known for them and once they come out they are immediately gone.
I’ll be back.

Dim-​sum was ruined by the placement of table in the restaurant. Good Day tries to pack as much table into the restaurant as possible. I am fine with that but at least have the cart lady come to table that are packed into the corner. I had to flag down every single one of the cart because they keep on skipping our table. One of the dim sum dishes called the taro cake was undercooked. When eating the dish I was able to pick out large chunks of taro from the cake. The dim sum was ok but I probably will not be coming back to this location. To much of a hassle if you get stuck with a table that is tucked in the back.

Great neighborhood dim sum restaurant in bensonhurst. They have plenty of variety of dim sum during the day. Lovely steamed items of hai gau (shrimp dumplings) and fried items. The rice congee with pork and thousand year old egg is delish as well as their churn fun, rice noodle dishes. Singapore noodles were cooked well with plenty of ingredients. Definitely order the black sesame balls and the regular sesame balls as they are sweet and chewy as they should be. Everyone definitely were with full stomachs towards the end. Ok service a step up from the usual service of a busy chinese restaurant.
Tip: Come early on weekends or miss out on all the baked goods which sell out early afternoon such as their cha sui bau and egg tarts.

Good a Day is my favorite dimsum restaurant in Brooklyn. Although the space isn’t terribly huge and there usually is a wait on Sundays. I believe the wait is well worth it. They serve unique types of dimsum plates (the vegetarian flat noodle and taro vegetarian dumplings are my favorite) and I swear they pump steroids in their shrimp dumplings because the are a mouthful! So sweet and crunchy also.
Swing by here if you’re in the Bensonhurst area! You won’t regret it.

My first time here…
We had a chinese friend with us so she did the ordering. Thankfully, since I can’t read the menu that was written in chinese!
So the dishes chosen were very good.
But the one that stood out to me was the LOBSTER! I even took home the leftovers and it was still good 2 days later.
Since I didn’t do the ordering, I can’t recall what it is actually called on the menu.
Anyway, All main entrees were good!
The fried rice didn’t have much taste. I guess that’s how they do it here.
