Golden Sea City 金城

Mom and I haven’t been to dim sum for quite a while since our schedules haven’t been matching up quite as nicely lately. So when a chance finally came, we went to one of her favorite places – Golden Sea City. Golden Sea City and its predecessor was a favorite of ours.   They are cheap, [...]
