Since its opening in 2019, Golden Diner has won over the hearts of locals and visitors from all over the world, and received recognition from notable food critics and publications, such as the James Beard Foundation, Food & Wine, NY Mag, Vogue, Eater, and The Infatuation. At our cozy and inviting restaurant, NY diner classics are reinvented through an Asian lens by Chef Sam Yoo (born and raised New Yorker and Momofuku Ko and Torrisi Italian Specialties alum). We are passionate about serving high-quality yet accessible dishes that intend to surprise and delight. Come on over to try some of our fan favorites like the Chicken Katsu Club, Thai Cobb Salad, and Honey Butter Pancakes! Please note: Weekend brunches are walk-in only.
