    Found this place thanks to Yelp reviews. It's right in the heart of Chinatown and was fantastic. My wife and I enjoyed two different dishes and both were great. I had Har Gow and she had Xiao Long Bow. There was quite a delay in getting our Xiao, but without any prompting from us, the restaurant brought us out what I think was coconut pudding blocks and something else as a nice gesture. Great service, great atmosphere and wonderful food.

    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! What we ordered: Scallion Pancake & Crab Rangoon T15 Xiao Long Bao Z16 general Gaus Chicken

    Dynasty was my first dim sum experience 20 years ago and it was great to bring my kids and show them the restaurant that made me seek it out every time we are traveling (there isn't any where we live). The shrimp steamed dumplings are the largest I've ever seen with huge chunks of shrimp. Baked BBQ pork buns are amazing and the fried turnip cakes are a great balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. Restaurant is decorated beautifully and on the smaller side of the other dim sum restaurants which I like.

    Solid dim sum spot in Boston Chinatown. You order off a menu and the food arrives piping hot. The dried shrimp Cheung fun and braised beef brisket on sizzling plate were particularly flavorful. Pig ears were crisp and had the right amount of spice. Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were juicier than you'd expect of a Cantonese restaurant. Would have been nice if there was shredded fresh ginger in the black vinegar dipping sauce.

    Food: SO good! The shrimp and chive dumplings were my favorite. The combination of fried dough and congee was also 11/10. Service: No complaints. Food was fast. Ambiance: Very clean, especially the bathrooms. I was impressed.

    Sit down restaurant where it's a minimum 10$ per person, but after informing the waiter we just wanted the crab Rangoon he suggested just placing an order to go. 16$ for four Rangoons but oh my gawd. It was cheesy & crispy, and definitely explodes in your mouth. It spills out the sides so careful when eating, but it was so delicious. The location was nice but service was very dry.

    This restaurant has a lot of positives! The food is well seasoned and delicious! We started with hot and sour soup for two high was served in a huge bowl that would have worked for more than the two of us. It had a nice peppery tang that I would definitely recommend. The kimchi was fresh which I really enjoyed. My shrimp and chive dumplings were heavy on the chives. The overall flavor was good but if you don't love chives I wouldn't recommend them. The service and serving sizes were also quite good. The interior was clean. The hot tea was loose leaf and fantastic. Overall I would highly recommended this place

    I have been sleeping on this place! My new favorite dim sum spot in Chinatown. It's casual, located in Chinatown, with shared tables. They take credit card. My favorite item was the Shrimp Noodle Roll which was truly the best version of this dish I've had--I could just eat this and be happy! They put the biggest shrimp in and really fill it up, and also have a really yummy sauce. The shrimp and chive dumplings are also yummy. The shrimp and fish roe dish was also good and filled with shrimp but not as flavorful. The congee was also a sleeper hit! We got a plain version since I don't eat pork and it was sooo flavorful. I'm not a huge congee person but this was great! Additionally, my friend with a nut/peanut allergy was able to eat safely here! We've come multiple times and the staff has always taken the allergy seriously and helped us talk to the kitchen.

    I wasn't super impressed during my latest visit to Dynasty... I had dined here once before ~2 years ago for a special event and really enjoyed my experience so the expectations were maybe too high. First of all, the arrangement they had for queueing for tables was a bit confusing and unclear. We were given a slip of a paper with a number on it, which the hostess eventually called out after about 10 minutes. I wish they had a more seamless system for handling this (in an app or taking phone numbers instead). We ordered lots of dishes to share.. pineapple buns with roast pork, the viral crab rangoon scallion pancake, soup dumplings, rice rolls with ribs, etc. The standout for me was definitely the crab rangoon scallion pancakes. I 100% get the hype! It's ooey and gooey and perfect for any crab rangoon lover. I was however pretty disappointed in the pineapple buns (one of my favorite dishes) and soup dumplings, which honestly just tasted like they were frozen and reheated from the grocery store. The service was also very absent and it took awhile for us to wave someone down so we could pay our bill. Not sure if we visited on an off day or something, but I wasn't very impressed.

    First time last weekend I took my elder parents, husband and little one to try. I stopped by on the way to check on the restaurant really quick as I am not so familiar with its location. Pretty busy when I came in and was told all of their 11 tables are full. I was pretty disappointed as I want something new for my family to try when I was visiting Boston. Luckily, very last min, the young man at the counter able to get us in ( thank you so much, my family were so happy!). Food are delicious, same quality as other Dim Sum place I usually eat. Restaurant looks new & clean, staffs speak English pretty well. Chicken fried rice is yummy, huge portion. We all shared that plate. I definitely will be back when i will take my other son to Boston again. Total is around $51 for a huge chicken fried rice plate & 4 dim sum plates, awesome price!

    I happened to book a hostel room in the neighborhood near Chinatown, and after doing a bit of exploring during the day, I got hungry, so I checked out Dynasty. It was ok. I ordered shrimp har gow, Xiao long bao, shu mai, and other items. The food tasted very plain compared to other places. The service was great, and I loved the waiters and staff for being super helpful. It was just myself and maybe two other groups, so it was pretty quiet. I wanted this place to be really good, but I just can't say I loved it.

    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 don't remember it being on the menu. We did not ask for it.

After moving from its original large dining hall to a newer location on Essex Street, the restaurant has a more modern and compact layout while still keeping the familiar dim sum experience. Even with the smaller space, it remains a busy spot, especially on weekend mornings when the dining room fills up quickly with groups looking for a classic dim sum meal. I came here for the traditional dim sum service, and the menu covers all of the staples you would expect. Dishes like shu mai, har gow, rice noodle rolls, and steamed pork buns were easy to find as the carts made their way around the dining room. There is something nostalgic about choosing dishes directly from the carts as they pass by, and it adds to the experience in a way that ordering from a menu cannot quite replicate. That said, I found the food itself to be a little inconsistent. Some dishes arrived fresh and enjoyable, while others felt like they had been sitting a bit longer before reaching the table. The familiar dim sum classics were satisfying enough, but the quality and flavors varied from plate to plate, making the overall meal less memorable than I had hoped. It was still an enjoyable way to sample a variety of dishes, but not every item stood out. The service matched the fast-paced atmosphere of a busy dim sum restaurant. Once seated, the meal moved along quickly as carts circulated through the dining room and staff kept everything running efficiently. During peak hours it can get loud and crowded, so it is worth arriving earlier if you prefer a quieter experience. Overall, Hei La Moon is still a recognizable part of Boston's Chinatown and offers the traditional cart-style dim sum experience that has become increasingly difficult to find. While I appreciated the atmosphere and the chance to enjoy classic dim sum in a longstanding neighborhood restaurant, I felt the food quality was inconsistent enough that I would probably explore some of the newer dim sum spots in Boston before returning.

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. It's definitely a place for family meals, not one for an engagement proposal or romance. Perfect for our evening. Portions are generous and prices competitive with other restaurants in the area.

These were poor and flavorless (we've bought MUCH tastier ones in H-Mart and the 88). The eggplant was very tasty, not too garlicky, and was an enormous portion. It was a bit greasy, but not too bad. The chicken with cashews was bland and boring. We dined there with a good friend and commented about the great service - fast and efficient. As I mentioned, the portion size was significantly larger that most restaurants these days. The prices were a bit high, especially considering the barebones atmosphere - but this is Newton Center, and we expected this. In short, I won't return to Ding's - there are lots of better choices.
