First time trying, despite how many wonderful comments there was. It's about a 2.5-3/5 stars. Food wasn't too fresh, and the fruits were warm... along with dessert. Service was okay, refilled our drinks once and cleaned the plates off. But the restaurant itself is uh, there is a lot of food contamination which I understand with it being a buffet but needs more maintenance. read more

Stopped in with our church group right after services soon after the restaurant had opened. Pleanty of cars in the parking lot when we arrived. We opted for the buffet and there was plenty of food to select from. Loved the Egg Rolls being they are very hard to find now a days. All of the Chicken and shrimp fried rice was excellent. Loved the fish and the fresh shrimp to peel. Only down side was that they did not have Low-Sodium Soy Sauce. There were 8 of us and did not hear any one complain about any of the meal at the table. Out waitress was excellent and kept the table clean as we went up for more courses and drinks were kept full. They only serve Pepsi products and do not have Zero Sugar Pepsi. We will be back that is for sure. read more

Perfect lunch spot if you want something more than burgers/pizza, or have kids in tow. Plenty of options for most any kind of picky eater, everything is hot and fresh tasting. Even with the lunch rush, the buffet table is kept well stocked, and if you order off the menu, it isn't a long wait for the menu items (prepared fresh, not poached off the buffet). All the servers hustle and do a good job keeping up with drink refills, our regular server Nancy and others remember repeat customers, and add the extra touch of friendliness that makes places welcoming. read more

Came out here to visit some friends and they really love this spot, so we figured we'd give it a try. For me, it was just ok. The buffet setup looked good at first glance, but the food was a little cold and tasted like it needed to be reheated or swapped out for a fresh batch. I had the spring rolls, rice, and chow mein noodles -- not the best, but passable. Now the inside of the restaurant is actually very well done. The décor is nice, the staff are friendly, and the service was on point the entire time. They do have a strange parking lot layout, but it works once you figure it out. Restrooms were clean, which is always a plus. Overall, I'd only come back because my friends enjoy it and it makes them happy. If it was up to me alone, it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

The food was delicious and we go there every few months. The service is good. We do not have to look for someone to ask questions. This restaurant is truly decorated better than most Chinese Restaurants I have been in. read more

This might be the most disgusting Chinese I've ever had. It's like "Big Chinese" versus family owned Chinese. I put in a big pickup order. It tasted like they filled the order from the buffet versus making it fresh. Tasted terrible. Mo Goo Gai Pan should be called "Moo Goo Shite in the Can." Mongolian beef was awful. Me being a gringo can make better Mongolian beef from IG videos. Panda Express tastes better. That's right. I'm recommending chain food over this place. read more

The buffet is large, the food was ok, and the service was excellent!!! I recommend this Chinese restaurant!!!

I give the one star because the food was good, however, my child and I went to eat there for dinner tonight. We arrived about 8:00 p.m. if not a bit earlier than that. They close at 9:00 p.m. Go look at their website and you can clearly see that it says they close at 9:00 p.m. Well, we come in around 8:00, they seated us and we began to eat. I went back to get more food from the buffet, and they were closing everything down. As I was eating, one boy was taking up the soy sauce and asked for mine. I was not even close to being done with it. Then a woman came up to me at 8:26p.m. and told me they did not have any other customers than us, so we needed to hurry up and finish eating because they close at 8:30 p.m. When it came time to pay that bill, oh they charged me the full price. HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT! DO NOT GO HERE. YOU WILL GET TREATED LIKE YOU ARE NOTHING AND CHARGED FULL PRICE FOR IT. read more

Nice looking restaurant. Inside was comfortable, staff friendly and helpful. Surprisingly the bathroom was clean. The food was just barely "ok". The traditional green beans were done well but cold, mushroom dish was very cool (spoiling temps.) The chicken wings were good but lacked flavor, seasoning. The salt & pepper crab and shrimp were improperly cooked so you had to peel them, you couldn't eat shells! All in all ok for a buffet. Very limited pieces of sushi, but ok because it appears to have been left from lunch! Rice was dry and hardish and didn't look desirable. The he sea weed salad was ok! Didn't try but a large variety of desserts and fruits. Wouldn't leave highway again to return! Too bad we love Chinese cuisine. read more

This restaurant had very little items to choose from. They need more variety of different foods. Compared to the Chinese Buffet in Killeen, this place needs much improvement. The service was great, the dessert selection and the atmosphere was very nice. To pay almost 20.00 dollars, you definitely don't get your money's worth of food. read more

Our first time here, looking for a good Chinese place in Temple, this is it. Old school style buffet, like before COVID. Food was great, desert was great, service was great! read more

This place was Awesome! Great Food! A wide variety and selection of great food! Food is hot and fresh. Very flavorful and tasty! Staff kept buffet full and clean. Friendly staff! Plenty of seating and nice ambiance. Will definitely be back. Loved the Hot and Sour Soup. It was just one of my many favorites! read more

Can not believe how many good reviews this place got! Awful, awful, awful! Rice tasted like salted soy sauce, sweet & sour pork was tough, as was General tso chicken. Dumplings were tasteless, dipping sauce was salt water! Can't believe what I paid for this shit. Do yourself a favor, eat ANYWHERE else! read more

Dynasty Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Temple, Texas

A few things were really good but most things had the same flavor and were just okay. Not the cleanest Chinese buffet and not sure if they are using MSG, server wasn't sure. read more

Great selection. Quality food. Good deal if you are hungry I'd go regularly if my diet would allow.

All you can eat buffet. Quite the variety; lots of seafood options too. Our favorite thing had been the coconut shrimp. Staff were very polite and attentive. My only negative comment pertains to the cleanliness of the place: Carpeting is down right nasty and the table we sat at was rather sticky (I'm guessing from a previous diner). Will go back and won't look at the floor (lol)... read more

I deliver tea and coffee to these guys and have for years. I've never actually eaten here before though due to timing of when I get there. I finally had a chance to stop and enjoy their lunch buffet and I wasn't disappointed. The building itself is really pretty and scenic. It's large and open and helps you feel very welcome. They have some fish tanks which is fun for the kids to look at. They have a huge selection of food for the lunch buffet. I hear the dinner buffet has a lot more sea food options which is something I may consider later. The food is really fresh, especially if you come either at 11am or 4pm. Those hours have the freshest food. Come here and leave satisfied. Easily the best Chinese buffet in central texas. read more

I actually rate this as a 3 1/2 star. But I round up because it is higher than a 3 star. I am always a bit leery of all you can restaurants, but even more so of Chinese all you can eat. I have had some bad experiences. We went to Dynasty by request of the birthday gal. It was actually good. Staff were very friendly. The cream cheese fried wontons were my favorites. The shrimp fried rice and broccoli n' chicken were also my favorite. All in all, the food was pretty good. I will visit again if I am in the area. Our waitress recommended trying a Chinese wine. I do not remember the name and cannot seem to find it on their menu. It was a very good, semi-sweet white wine. But be careful, it is a very strong wine. One glass you will be okay, but two and you need a driver. This is a family friendly, friends, and dates kinda place. read more

Great selection, quality dishes, instant food at buffet without any wait. What else could you want?

Love this buffet. Every thing I tried was great. The little fried filets are wonderful. Will be back next time we are in Temple.

Food was very mediocre, while the staff was nice the ability to get a drink delivered to the table took over 30 minutes. There was an very nice dressed woman walking around that I suspect was some form of floor manager but she didn't appear to understand how to manage. The 15.95 price for food plus 2.98 for drink would not be outrageous if food quality and service matched. I did not try the sushi bar because it appeared as a tack on so they can say Asian Fusion. Nothing in this food reminded me of true fusion cooking. It should just be call "White peoples Asian Hits. I will not be returning. The fish tanks are stunning! The dinning room is way too large to actually produce a high quality experience. read more

Dynasty Chinese Restaurant - Mediocre mess - Chinese Near Me - Temple, Texas

We ordered delivery through Favor. We thought how bad could it be. It was worse than we imagined it could be. It had been a few years so we decided to give it a chance. In the back of my mind I was hoping that this time I would be wrong. Sadly we were mistaken. The food was very hot to the point that plastic was melting, It's like they nooked really old food in the microwave. Rubbery chicken and beef in the sweet and sour chicken and broccoli beef combination meal. mushy broccoli. Rancid Spring rolls that tasted so bad you immediately spit it out. It was God awful Go anywhere else for Chinese. Shame on the owner for putting out this poor quality to unsuspecting customers or in my case suspecting customers that thought they would give a local business another chance. read more

Dynasty Chinese Restaurant is our favorite Asian Buffet in Central Texas. There are closer options to Lampasas but we have found Dynasty Chinese Restaurant to offer consistently high quality food that is continuously being replenished no matter what time of day we have dined. My go to items are the always flavorful Hot and Sour Soup with crispy fried noodles, the crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside cream cheese rangoons, and the battered chicken with a choice of sweet and sour, lemon, or savory garlic sauce. There is a huge assortment of other noodle and rice dishes, fresh sushi, as well as a salad and dessert bar. There is a choice of four soups on the soup bar; wonton soup, egg drop soup, seafood soup, and my favorite hot & sour soup. Dynasty also offers to go boxes for takeout priced by the pound as well as takeout menu items cooked fresh. There is ample parking with many pull through spaces as well as a covered entrance to help keep the ladies dry while you park the car when it is raining. Charlie is the head honcho running around making sure everything is running smoothly. If you see him, tell him that Lampasas said Howdy! read more

I was craving Chinese today for lunch/dinner, so ordered off the lunch menu. It's a good value. For $11 plus some change you get an entree, rice, egg roll, and soup. I chose the Dynasty beef (L21) with fried rice, sweet & sour soup, and an egg roll. The Dynasty beef was okay. My favorite part is the crunchy veggies. The rice had a weird flavor, the egg roll was kind of mushy, and I didn't taste the soup. All in all, it wasn't memorable, but it did fill a hole. read more

I love this place! Employees are nice and welcoming! Food is great too, great for family outings!

This buffet is usually decent but we will absolutely avoid visiting on any holidays because they do up-charge. $25 per person for a buffet, when they are out of almost everything, is absurd. They stayed out of California rolls, crab legs, and even basic offerings the entire visit. If you're going to charge extra for special items on Father's Day, you should make sure they're well stocked. This was not the case. There were no bowls for ice cream. An employee said she would get some dishes, but never did. Sushi was depleted as soon as it was put out and the one employee making it kept it that way.. All the desirable items were depleted quickly and service sucked. Plates stayed on tables, drinks stayed empty, and the table was far too small for our large party. Good on an ordinary day, will not visit for special occasions. You can have a nice hibachi meal for cheaper! read more

Paid around $22 for soft drink and all you can eat buffet. Can't really go wrong with that especially when it was on the weekend(Saturday). Pretty sure the pricing on weekdays are even less. Service good for sure no complaint. Area was well lit enough to eat but not too bright where you'll get a migraine from looking up. Tv in some areas to watch the game or for them yns. They had Texas roadhouse like buns, pies, sushi, shrimp + cocktail sauce, soups and much more. read more

Dynasty has the best Chinese buffet around. I love their fried rice. I love their cream cheese wontons fresh made delicious.

Great egg foo young!! Big size entrees enough for leftovers!! Inside ambience is great, servers polite! read more

Dynasty Chinese Restaurant - Me - Chinese Near Me - Temple, Texas

Beautiful on the inside. Has many options but not big on flavor. Noodles smelt as if they've been sitting for a while. Quick service tho. read more

Picked up order around 11:30 am today. You would think it would be fresh. The broccoli was mushy and the sauce looked congealed like it was yesterday's leftovers. The crunchies you put in your soup were at least 2 days stale. We eat here about every 6 months hoping it will change. It's been terrible since ownership has changed. The meat used to be fresh and now it's that fluffed up beef you get at the cheapest spot in town. See ya in 6 months. Maybe... read more

Exceptional service. They can almost read your mind when it comes to ordering. They have very very good cooks and the food is delicious. I enjoy getting food there at least once or twice each week I work. I think they really take their business to another level. read more

Good food. Decent pricing for a buffet. Service was ontop of it and I always had a drink refilled. Ambiance was fun and it's pretty cool they have a Bar-cade attached to the building. Fun to come with family. Going there again tonight actually. read more

I travel a lot. This place is worth the stop trust me. Food quality is great. Service is friendly. Big chunks of chicken not just breaded. Crab Rangoon great. Egg rolls are too. read more

A group of my close friends and I ate at Dynasty Restaurant which I will never do again. There were 10 of us and we had waited about 45 minutes. When I noticed a group of 12, who came in after us and had no reservation, being ushered in ahead of us, I became concerned. We are an older group, and most of us have diabetes. I decided to ask one of the wait staff when a worker stepped in and identified himself as the manager. He told me in no uncertain terms that if I didn't like it I could leave. This is an unsatisfactory and a retaliatory step for any member of any staff and especially management to take. No worries though, there are plenty of oriental restaurants in Temple to choose from and that I can spend my money on. read more

The food was awful and it was cold and was sitting out for a long time I would never go back there and eat again if I could I would give it a zero read more

I recommend the Dynasty chicken dish. It's delicious and our favorite item. It helps when you know what to order. We tried this place over 8 years ago but we must not have ordered their best plate because we were not impressed. Years later we gave it another try and so glad we did and found Dynasty Chicken read more

Food is really great and Services is also really good! I would highly recommend eating here!

This was our second time giving them another chance, over the last year the buffet price has skyrocketed and the food quality has deteriorated, it was awful however the service was good, food was bland, some of it cold and the egg rolls are the size of vegetable rolls, seems they've cut back quite a bit we are done with that place forever, we will never go back, chow main and the shrimp was chewy and rubbery like, I'd rather have a HEB Tai-pei frozen dinner with egg rolls way cheaper and tastes 100% better, Dynasty has gone way way down on the last couple years it will never get better and I ain't gonna want to find out we're done with that place, rant over!! read more

I ordered Chow Mein, but it wasn't. It was made not with Chinese cabbage, but with American cooked by an undocumented Mexican. I've been a customer of theirs for 36yrs. When they had a Taiwanese cook this would not occur. They are preparing dishes cheaply now with a higher price than previously. Their business theory shall fail. read more
