To Zach who moved an umbrella for us to make sure we didn't get rained on. It wasn't raining yet, and we didn't ask for it, but sure enough it started to drizzle a little while later. Finally to Dem who took an item off the bill because she could tell my Wife didn't really like it. Again, we didn't ask or say anything about it but she did it anyways. Of course the food was great, but the people were the best thing about this place.

Ona Saturday night around 8pm I wandered in and ordered the Duck "smoked and roasted breast with…read moreConfit Leg and Fruit Mostarda Bone Reduction" & the Collard Greens. I washed it down with a very flavorful Tempranillo Red. The collards were middle of the road flavorful. The vegetables relied heavy on the tartness of vinegar, but not the variety of notes I've had elsewhere. The dish was serviceable, tasty even. I just wouldn't flock back to taste it again. The duck came in two forms: the breast was extremely tender, and yet very subdued in flavor. The confit leg was "crispy", which was a bit of flavor at least. The tempranillo red wine was the most complex flavor palette during the meal. Service was prompt and professional. The restaurant itself is very Lloyd Wrightesque, lots of wood and geometrics. The 3 rating is for a casual return, but other options exist. (versus 4 for Must Go Back)

They will make sure you have everything you need. The Hot and Sour Soup was so good and came with fresh crunchy noddles- which are impossible to find in my town. The fried rice was delicious and not greasy at all. The Shrimp dish my husband got was also super good also with the side of plain Lo Mein that was so tasty real Lo Mein noddles. Service was fast and employees were so nice. We were there on the day of a big soccer game so it was fun everyone was cheering and watching the game on the big TV. Even though know nothing about soccer, it did seem to bring us all together. Tons of take out food was being run out of there so you know the locals love it. Kudos New Dynasty. Thanks for a great meal. See ya next time we are back in DC

Okay - 4 months have passed since my last review of New Dynasty so it's time for an update…read more The hot & sour soup is still the best I have ever had anywhere in the world. The egg rolls are crispy but not too oily - and they're delicious on top of that! I also had some beef and broccoli and it was super good too. The flavor was savory, strong and pure. The broccoli was crispy, the beef was moist. No thickening flavor like flour or corn starch was evident in its tasty sauce. It wasn't even too salty. Go figure! So, it's surprising that a place that looks so old and dirty can churn out such great tasting food BUT NEW DYNASTY DOES!!! I have to admit that the people at the ordering counter are pretty darn friendly too. Please do not avoid New Dynasty because of the way the outside looks. As your mama told you time and again, it is what's inside that counts. And inside New Dynasty, the food is really, really good!

My fiance got a passionfruit cocktail but thought that it was too sweet for her taste On inKind!

We were only able to secure outdoor seating, and unfortunately the ambiance outside is not great…read more The patio was wet even though it wasn't raining that day of the day before. There is nothing pretty or appealing about seating outside. The buffet is inside the restaurant which also makes it a bit of an inconvenience. The restaurant inside is on the smaller side and feels a bit crowded near the buffet area. They had a lot of food selections which was great, however, we were disappointed that the taste of the food did not match the great presentation of each dish. Overall the dishes were bland, lacked flavor, and were too oily. Even the mashed potatoes were bland and not tasty. Nice selection of desserts too, but again, nothing exciting, juts a typical dessert buffet selection (brownies, cupcakes, chocolate fountain..). The standout were the baklavas. The highlight of our outing was the service. Everyone was very attentive and nice.

The lamb biryani is well-executed: rice cooked properly with each grain separate, lamb tender enough to pull apart easily, and layered spicing that doesn't hit all at once. It's a dish that reflects real technique rather than relying on heavy spice to make an impression. Overall a strong meal -- refined without being fussy, and consistent with Rasika's reputation as one of the better Indian restaurants in DC.

The spinach palak chaat is a staple with crisp spinach and tasty toppings. The black cod is still a flagship entree. The potatoes were a bit dry and could be better but work.

The chocolate is rich but the dough has no flavor. I enjoy most items at Rasika as items are typically prepared well.

My friend didn't care too much for the pancakes, but I thought that they were pretty good. My only gripe is that for vegetarians they should allow you to put two fillings inside the bolani since we cannot eat the meat part of the tasting flight. The drinks were great. The service was OK; there was a severe language barrier with our waitress, which didn't matter since she was getting 20% of our money regardless, so she didn't even try. The restaurant itself is a little cramped and the bathrooms downstairs could be a cleaner. But the food was amazing!
