Third visit to Goldies but this time for lunch. Great atmosphere and laid back vibe. The food just gets better and better. I recommend the corn with the most amazing butter, the delica pumpkin and the chicken. The chips and dips were amazing. Staff were excellent as usual. Can totally recommend.

This is positioned as Japanese street food, so a small crowded space is in keeping with what one should expect. I've been four times now, and I've enjoyed every dish. Last night we sat directly across from the chef, so we saw the food being prepared. It's done with care and precision. I really enjoy this place. The service was efficient, so we had no trouble making it to the IMAX in time for a film after dinner.

The meal was very nice and the service was good, however, and I accept that waitresses are there to see more, but we were told that the side orders were only small and not enough for two persons and we there ordered a second one. When they arrived this was not the case and one would have been enough, and we therefore left half of each, my question is, why lie to us?
