Jul 8 2025, 10:52 pm

From downtown Vancouver to the outskirts of Metro Vancouver, longstanding restaurants have been closing all over. Unfortunately, another restaurant has announced that it will be closing after 50 years.

Golden Lion, located in South Surrey, confirmed to Dished over the phone that it will be closing its doors on Aug. 31.

Additionally, the restaurant encouraged customers to redeem their gift cards before the end of August.

Golden Lion is best known for its selection of traditional Chinese dine-in and takeout options. It’s been in operation along King George Boulevard since at least the 1980s.
