Gold Village Chinese - Dawson

Within the limitations of the Klondike, the food hit the spot. I really appreciated the Chinese greens which turned out to be the sweetest big bokchoy stirfry with shrimp. They moved 5/31/24 to the Midnight Sun Hotel 1054 3rd Avenue Can someone help them update the address on Yelp?

Didn't look like this Chinese restaurant was open. Went by about 2pm. Open sign was off but they were open. Went in and was only customer. Decided to try it and was glad I did. Huge portions and good taste as I ordered special chow mein, egg rolls and wonton soup. Everything tasted good and meats had good taste. They said they will be moving to a in town hotel soon so double check their location. If you like Chinese this will definitely work for you.

Classic Canadian Chinese food, but when you 're craving a fix they 've got you covered!

When the last of the brothels in Dawson City was eradicated in 1961 in it's place came this Chinese restaurant. Now normally I don't eat Chinese in a place with no Chinese, but I wasn't surviving on burgers, pizza, sockeye salmon, and arctic char in the Canadian wilds for two weeks. Walked a good 20 minutes from our downtown hotel to get to this spot for lunch. Right next to a construction zone on one side, and a power plant on the other side, way in the boondocks, far away from downtown, open 1130am-1030pm everyday. Walked in, and immediately struck by the vastness of the place, with enough room for 54 guests, the exact number of passengers on a tourist bus! Clean, with booths next to the window, and long family tables elsewhere. Ceiling marked with patterned aluminum engravings, something I had only seen before at a Navajo restaurant outside of the Grand Canyon. We were greeted by the Chinese hostess Lily, who bore a striking resemblance to my mother in her 50s. This is a Cantonese style Chinese restaurant, so no Kung Pao Chicken nor Mongolian Beef, two of my favorites. We ordered the CAN$16.85 Szechuan Chicken chow mein and the CAN$15.95 Beef with pan fried rice noodles, keeping in mind that they charge CAN$6 for a bowl of white rice, not included with entrees. They have to make money somehow, and how difficult can it be to make white rice at home? Service is leisurely, with our orders arring about 25 minutes after ordering. The Szechuan Chicken chow mein is pan fried noodles, with chunks of white chicken, mixed in with white onions, green peppers, mushrooms, carrots, celery in a sweet spicy sauce, not what I'm used to. Wife likes it. Serving size is huge -the one plate can feed two adults. The Beef with rice noodles arrives a little later. Again a huge portion with a mountain of wide soft noodles, mixed in with a small portion of beef, and even smaller portion of green onions. Too bland for the wife, I attack it mercilessly. Decent quality of beef, cuttable by a fork. Would have liked more green onions. I eat only half of it, before I call it a day. Wife uses the restroom and says they are decent quality. We box up the leftovers, while a string of solitary white guys with British accents come in to watch the World Cup. England lost, but at least their fans got a decent meal. Oh yes, we realized right away that the Beef dish was supposed to be pan fried according to the menu, and the chicken chow mein ordinary noodles. But we aren't complaining. Not sure if I would like to be stuck up here year round with this place the only Chinese food for 350 miles around. .

This is the only Chinese restaurant in Dawson City, so while it's technically the best in town, it is also the worst. All the food we got sweet sour pork, egg rolls, house fried rice, etc. was tasty, but is very greasy and left me feeling more bloated than usual. It hit the spot after craving Chinese food, but after eating more than half, we all felt so *bleh* (you know the feeling) that we ended up throwing it away. If you live in Dawson, it's fine once in a while; if you're just visiting, wait to get better Chinese food in Whitehorse or Alaska. But where else can you find a Chinese restaurant in an old brothel? Note: It is only offering takeout at the moment due to COVID.
