It's located in central Sidney and not far from the ferry landing. The staff were able to get us out order on time and we didn't skip a beat in making the lineup for our ferry home. We had the Phad See Iew noodles, Kow Phad Goong prawn fried rice, and the Peeg Gai Tod marinated chicken wings. Everything was great and the quality stayed throughout our ferry ride! The smell of the food was making people around us on the ferry jealous! :) The restaurant was able to provide us a couple of extra containers to use as plates and some cutlery as well. We will definitely come back here for a dine in experience!

I hadn't been to Dynasty in a few years, and back then it was really good. I don't know what the problem was this time, but the fried rice was greasy, and the shrimp were tiny little things that were overcooked. I ordered a bowl of Won Ton Soup, it was so small, maybe a quarter of a cup. Won't be recommending this place to others.

I dined at this restaurant today and had a very terrible experience. At the time, we were the only…read moreAsian guests in the entire restaurant. It took calling the server three times before she came to take our order. During the meal, when she was helping to portion the wontons for us, she deliberately spilled a large puddle of soup on the table. After serving, she walked away without making any effort to clean it up. I stopped her and politely pointed at the puddle on the table, asking if she had any napkins. She handed me three napkins with a blank expression, threw them down, and left without cleaning the table, and without even offering a simple apology. However, she was very warm and attentive toward the other nearby tables, and when serving them, there were no issues like spilled soup. Her behavior, which appeared to involve racial discrimination, seriously affected my dining experience. Therefore, I left her a zero tip and truthfully wrote about my experience on the app. What makes it even more absurd is that this was a Chinese restaurant.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE 4.5 stars: great food and good service…read morein a decent environment garners one of the top votes for Thai food when in the area! === 2. FOOD Chicken Satay ($16) 4 skewers at this price makes this dish a little speedy, but it's good: meaty pieces on skewers with authentic peanut sauce - yum! Pad Thai Prawn ($22) You get five jumbo shrimp on top of the pad Thai noodles. The flavour is a little different (and a touch more liquid-y?) than most other places - but it's tasty nonetheless! Curry Fried Rice ($21) Imagine a good-tasting fried rice with your choice of protein (we chose chicken) and curry powder to flavour: it's simple yet really tasty! Sweet Stickey Rice with Mango ($12) It's spendy for what you get - but it does included at least half a fresh-cut mango with sticky rice and coconut milk - an indulgent treat! === 3. SERVICE It was simple and good - nothing spectacular but also nothing to worry about either from the two ladies that served us throughout the meal. === 4. ENVIRONMENT The decor seems 10-15 years old but it's clean and bright enough - at least with daylight (it might be a little dim when dark out). A large TV on one wall shows a video of a Western traveller visiting Thailand to sample foods. There is a lunch buffet ($21 for adults or $14 for kids) - offering 8-10 dishes in the centre of the restaurant. Groups large and small would fit easily, as would wheelchairs and baby strollers. Parking is reasonably plentiful on the street out front.

Unlike Vietnamese bun which is thin like vermicelli, these were quite a bit thicker, almost like a round fettuccine. As appetizers, we had the duck egg rolls. We managed to eat them before taking a picture.... they were finally ground duck in egg roll wrappers. We also had the sliced pork belly with garlic sauce. I remembered to take a picture before it was completely gone! It was one of the most amazing things I've had. It's cooked and thinly sliced pork served cold, with crisp and refreshing julienne carrots and cucumber. It's served with a thin dressing that includes fresh garlic. The whole thing is cool, sharp, refreshing, and satisfying. Finally, I had the noodles. I borrowed somebody else's picture, because I forgot to take it before I dumped the toppings in. It comes with two or three different kinds of pickles, toasted soybeans, and green onions. The idea is to stir those into the noodles and eat them first, like a cool noodle salad. Then... you dump the broth on top and enjoy them like a Ramen or a noodle soup. It was absolutely amazing. As a Texan, I'm no stranger to spicy food, but somehow the spicy broth caught me at the back of my throat rather than just the tongue. You should definitely give this place a try! It felt authentic.. most of the customers in there appeared to be Asian, which is usually a good sign.

A one-woman operation took our orders and got right to work rolling and cutting the dough for our noodles. While a bit pricey and time-consuming, the end result floored me. There we were, huddled together on a bench we had dragged behind the food truck, and I was eating the best dumplings I'd ever had. Perfect dough, juicy pork, with a little cup of vinegar for dipping. I absolutely wolfed down a dozen and still gave my buddy some puppy-dog eyes for a couple of his as well. Pan fried and steamed, either way you won't go wrong. The noodles were excellent as well. If I lived close to this truck I'd probably be eating here minimum twice a month, maybe weekly. Do yourself a favor and try them.

The moment I saw the words "Chubby Dumpling" on my Yelp search, it was in immediate yes. We walked over, and it's definitely a small family run business. It's very generic looking inside. We were sat by the window, and our orders were taken quickly. In short time the two items we ordered came out: - Pork & Cabbage Dumplings: Excellent. They're plump, they're fresh, and they were delicious. I can see why they sell them frozen to take home too. - Tteokbokki (떡볶이): Very good. I can't say I'm a good judge of tteokbokki, but it was fresh, had good texture, and not overly spicy. Service is very friendly. Sometimes, the most simple food in the simple places is all I really want, and this place delivered on it. I would definitely go back to try more of their dumplings.

Broth is deep, delicious and not too sweet or salty. Small area inside with a few tables. Walk up to the counter to order and pay first. Then wait at a table for your food to arrive. You can grab water at a water station at the corner (cold water). Service was polite & efficient and they got us everything we needed. Table centerpieces were not fully refilled so we had to grab some napkins/chili, etc from another nearby table. Did not taste the rice dishes, but the family enjoyed the pho that they had, even my mom's vegetarian pho. Pho broth is delicious and approved!

Review Template ===…read more1. VERDICT/VALUE Sure, there are a lot of choices for decent Vietnamese food in town - but with good eats, good service, decent prices, it's easy to recommend Pho Tru to family and friends! === 2. FOOD Summer Rolls ($10) Two come at this price and they're done well. We may debate about the peanut sauce (I prefer the lighter-coloured, less bitter one) but this is a good snack or happy all-year round. Fish Tacos ($8) They were out of fish today but we got it with the recommended grilled pork instead - and that was a great decision! The pork was not too thin yet tender and flavourful. It works out to be $4 per taco but the good meat with crisp fresh veggies make the price of admission worth it. Pho #19 ($17) It's basically a house special: all of the meats - and with flavourful soup and a healthy portion of noodles, it's a great choice! Pork Vermicelli ($16.25) A great option for those that don't want any soup splashing around: good portion of fresh veggies mixed with noodles and pork that's thicker than what was included in the tacos, but still tender and flavourful. === 3. SERVICE The service is stellar: the same man who greets you, takes your order, serves your order and ensures all is well before the cheery greeting upon departure is the one making the experience worth the trip! It's relatively busy with dine-in patrons and food app/takeout orders, but the speed of service to the counter did not disappoint. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a little older looking, but it's simple, clean, and effective. Windows on the street side let in a good amount of daylight for tables of up to 8 when all of the two- and four-tops are combined. Once you get past the front door (not automatic/mechanically openable), wheelchairs and baby strollers should fit with some ease. Parking is all street based, which is paid up until 8:00 pm each night.
