I saw a lot of recommendations for Dynasty, so I came in with pretty high expectations, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing The pineapple BBQ pork bun was served cold. After we mentioned it, the staff reluctantly took it back to reheat, but it came back extremely hot and soft, with a very obvious microwaved texture The custard bun was also unusual. After removing the paper underneath, the bottom of the bun was noticeably white instead of yellow. I can't say what caused it, but it definitely looked strange The rice noodle roll, spare ribs, and chicken feet were okay, but nothing special

Let me tell you, this just about revived me when I was in a bad way. Food was so good - the service was fast and lord knows I needed to eat stat since I had been fasting for over 16hrs. Genuinely one of the best dim sum experiences in Boston I've ever had - loved that it felt communal. Folks of all ages were inside, so I could tell it's a neighborhood gem. Shoutout to the manager who cut the wrapped shrimp food item with scissors automatically (thank you!) so I could eat it easier!

Dim sum
Dan N.

Solid dim sum option for Boston Chinatown, which means a lot coming from someone who grew up going to Hei La Moon (their original location). I have gone to Dynasty for brunch (typical dim sum time) and dinner and both were solid options, serving the classic dim sum dishes like turnip cakes, custard buns, cheung fun, chicken feet, hargow, and fun things like minion-themed buns. Service is quick and ambiance is classy and elegant! While it's not my favorite dim sum in the Boston area, it is definitely a great option in Chinatown. Would also be interested in trying their viral crab rangoon scallion pancake situation...

Awesome dim sum spot in Chinatown Boston. They offer many dishes ranging from xiu mai to cha siu baos that you'll be able to find a dish that accommodate everyone. Will need to retune to try their other Cantonese dishes such as fried garlic shrimp, salt & pepper pork chop, and veggie stir frys.

C21.fish Filet With Vegetable - ok a bit bland
Jessica W.

Food: house special fried rice, chicken Hong Kong style crispy noodle and fish filet with vegetables. The standout was the crispy noodle. Probably the best we've had in a long time. The other dishes were just ok. We will definitely return when back in Boston to try the dim sum and get the crispy noodle again. Highly recommend. Service: efficient. Ambiance: the tables we're extremely close together. So much so that I could barely squeeze by to fit to get to my seat. It also felt like we were dining with the next table. But don't let that hold you back. Parking: Chinatown so very difficult but we managed to score street parking a couple streets down.

Soup dumplings, xiumai, black bean chicken feet

I wish we had the time to go before 3pm so I could order their rice rolls. Their soup dumplings taste really good, but the skin was just a bit thick. The chicken feet are not as good as Ming's or China Star, but still flavorful. I love the pineapple bun, with it's runny custard filling and subtly sweet dough. I would have to try again earlier in the day.

Exceptional food, great service with a unique experience you can only get in Boston's China Chinatown. Dynasty is iconic. Known for a stem sum, we certainly enjoyed the dim sum offerings as well as traditional dishes . We've been there several times. This night, we had a table of 10 including a visit visitor from Germany for the World Cup. Unfortunately, I was so excited about the food. I missed several photos. It is all about the food. You can get some less common dishes. Two of my young adult children had friends who were eager to try the scallion, pancake crab Rangoon they had learned about on social media - it lived up to its reputation albeit a little messy! Dumplings of different varieties were amazing. Salt & pepper calamari was fresh, tender and a big hit! The generous portion of Chinese broccoli with garlic was amazing. The beef filet with pepper was one of the most popular dishes at the table and went quickly - the beef was tender with the right amount of spice. Every single dish was fully consumed. Most of all, it was a great value. Had I gone to the north end or anywhere else in Boston? It would've been 30 to 40% more expensive. We got great quality, food and service and an experience in the process. We didn't stray far except for Jelly fish appetizer that was crunchy with cucumber and a vinegar sauce that was tasty. The service is consistently attentive. As soon as you are seated, we had hot tea and drink orders. As food arrived, the table was always cleared. Nice to have this energy.

When I was planning this trip to Boston with my daughter, eating dim sum in a major city is a must! We eat dim sum at every new city we hit up. Our mother/daughter tradition. So after looking up local Chinese joints to eat at, Dynasty popped up. They also offer street parking so that is what sold me on this joint. Considering Boston's Chinatown looks pretty run down, you should never judge a book by it's cover. Walking in, this joint is really bright and clean. The young man working the register greeted us and got my daughter and I a table. The big list of food items was dropped off and we were ready to get the party started! We ordered a handful of things! It's been a while since we have had dim sum so we were ready to put in work. Our food was starting to slowly trickle out. We started off with the congee. It came out pretty fast since it was probably made earlier waiting to be served. Shortly after the rest of our dumplings were making their way to our table. The congee was simple, savory and comforting. It tasted like my childhood. The fried shrimp rolls were tasty, crispy and savory. I have had similar fried shrimp dumplings like this served with a sauce similar to walnut shrimp. That sauce would have been killer with these rolls. The long rice noodles were silky and filled with char sui. The sauce was more vinegar than sweet which is how I have normally had it. Still good! Har gaw and shu mai were fabulous once they dropped off soy and chili oil to dip them in. The turnip cake will always be one of my favorites. My daughter enjoyed the soup dumplings and the rice in lotus leaf. I was too full to try them. Customer service was ok. They got you what you needed but not a lot of exchange in conversation. I feel like most dim sum experiences are like that. The food was so good! I enjoyed every bit of it with my daughter. Parking might be free but very limited and challenging to find. I'm still happy we got to check this joint out and have a great meal here!

I came here on an early Saturday morning and got the dim sum. They did not have a cart here unfortunately, you order off the menu and they bring it out. I got many dishes and they were all delicious! Loved the soup dumplings and noodle dishes. Staff were quick with cleaning finished plates. I got 8 dishes for two people and it was about perfect with some to spare. It was about $70 dollar. Overall I was happy with the food here! Food(50%): 8.6 Staff/service(25%): 8.5 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 8.0/10

Ryan H.

The portions for the entrees were huge. This was enough for my wife and I to split comfortably, we still didn't finish it all. Some of the best sweet and sour chicken I've had and the buns were soft and fresh. The restaurant is set up nicely and clean. It took a very long time to be helped and to get our check so I am removing one star. I had to flag down a waiter after we had both finished for more than 20 minutes. But as far as food, I was very happy

Hannah C.

Got here right at opening in a Saturday and was seated immediately. I love that everything is made to order. Each dish was FRESH! It started filling up around 10AM with families and friends. Coming from a bao lover you MUST get the pineapple roast pork and custard buns. Everything about them was perfect. Fresh out of the oven, with the perfect amount of sweet crust on the top. This is how I'll remember Boston.

First meal in Boston Chinatown was dim sum. The portions are large and the flavors are decent. Bland would be how we would describe it. We tried the "go to" items that included: Shrimp Dumpling Pork and shrimp Shao Mai Ribs with taro Xiao Long Bao Steamed Bbq Pork Bun Overall, it was decent and good enough for a meal. We weren't over the moon with the flavors compared to other people who tried it.

My friend found this place from a viral item they are serving--scallion pancake crab rangoon. They were not on the menu so we were worried we were at the wrong place but they assured they had it. They were super good--gooey and cheesey and still like a crab rangoon. I would come back for these. Someone next to us also ordered them. Now I did still want to try their traditional dishes so we split Xaio Long Baos which were really good soup dumplings. They were fresh and tasty. I also got a general gau chicken which I know is more Americanized Chinese food but got it since it was offered as a plate with rice. It was tasty, a little spicy and a large portion--I had leftovers. I would like to come back to try more of their authentic dishes as the food was of high quality and it was busy inside so that's a good sign!

Are there dim sum carts?

No Carts, it's all ordered on a paper.

Are there any Vegetarian dishes to recommend here?

I loved the fried dough rice noodle rolls and molten egg yolk sesame balls. I also enjoyed the scallion noodle rolls, custard rolls, and red bean minion buns. The steamed vegetables were a little boring. My review has pictures of those dishes!

Is dim sum available for dinner?

I was in there the other night having a Chow Foon and brisket soup which was absolutely delicious and I believe they said they stop dim sum at 2 PM and they have it every day

Would have ordered from the machine if I had seen it earlier instead of waiting in line). After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Hong Kong Milk Tea, $4 prior to tax- My husband thought it was okay but has had better. Also found it to be a little too sweet. Marinated Pork On Rice , $16.75 prior to tax- My husband ordered this dish. It came with a lot of sauce but he did like the flavor and also liked the pork. I thought the pork was tender and I also liked the flavor of the sauce too. It would have been nice if there were more cooked vegetables in this meal. Curry Chicken Cutlet On Rice, $15.75 prior to tax- I decided to get this dish. It came with a good amount of chicken and plenty of the potato curry. I think the flavor of the curry was okay. ------------------------------------ (Total= $39.06 after tax, prior to tip) Wait time was closer to 15 minutes. A water dispenser and cups were available as self serve. There are also a handful of tables in their small seating area. Although it was not too busy when we first arrived, it started to get pretty busy. There were plenty of people that ordered at the register or at the kiosk and looking for a table. But there were also plenty of people that just ordered and then left once their food was ready.

The dish was very tasty, warm, and comforting. It was definitely a generous enough portion to share. The service was friendly but not especially attentive. The restaurant itself is very small, with only a limited number of tables, so we had about a 10-minute wait. Looking around, the other dishes coming out of the kitchen looked delicious and were very generous portions as well. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other dishes.

We came for a family dinner and of course Grandma Ding was with us in her wheelchair. We only smashed into a few chairs in the big, crowded dining room. And fortunately other customers were understanding while the staff was helpful and accommodating. The small, curious child running around the dining room without parental supervision didn't get hurt when I ran him over. The menu was huge so it took a long time to order with Grandma asking questions about every item. I could see that the waitstaff was used to quick orders and rapid food delivery to the table, but the waiter remained kind and patient. He also repeated his answers loudly when she couldn't understand his English and because she didn't have her hearing aides turned up. We finally ordered a giant wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce, a shrimp dish, and orange chicken; all to share. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and delicious. Grandma Ding did have to ask for the soup to be heated up because she likes it to be scalding. The dining room is worn and dishes were flying in and out as items were served and cleared.
