We usually like this restaurant. We usually eat in. I was very tired and recovering from a cold so we decided to take out around 6pm. We ordered shrimp fried rice and basil fish. When we started to eat the food at home, I felt really weird crunching. There were multiple pieces of egg shells. I called the restaurant as soon as I found out. The person told me that the manager will call us after 8pm. I waited. It is now 8:40pm. So I decided to go to bed and leave our review here... Now after 9pm. Still no call. read more

I came here with a friend for lunch on a Tuesday and we stayed for nearly 3 hours enjoying the food and conversation. I was helped right away upon coming, no crazy rush during their lunchtime. Between the 2 of us we ordered the string beans, seafood noodle, tofu and mushrooms in brown sauce, cubed filet mignon, and a side of rice. I thought the food was decent and we did get hot and sour soup from the chef. He came out several times to check on us as well as the waitresses. I forgot to take pictures of all the food before digging in, so I only have a few to show. The string beans were tasty, seafood noodle was good too, tofu and mushrooms was okay, but I prefer the tofu to not be so soft inside, and I didn't eat the beef because I'm pescetarian but that dish was more for my friend. I didn't see a dessert menu so not sure if they have any but we did get fortune cookies at the end of the meal. Everything came out to over $100 with tip so this place is not cheap. I did see they have a lunch menu which looks like it'll be around $20 per person so I might stop by again to try their lunch. I will give them a 4 stars for their extensive menu, decent tasting Chinese food with big portions, and friendly prompt service. They boxed the leftovers for us and after a badminton session later that day I was pretty hungry. I heated up the green beans and seafood noodles and it was still yummy. read more

3.5 stars. Located next to a TJ Maxx. This restaurant went under new ownership with a head chef that previously had experience at the Langham in Pasadena. The food is more Cantonese style. Food is pretty good, and I'd rank these dishes starting from the best: 1. Sauteed filet mignon with mushroom and black pepper sauce 2. Honey walnut shrimp 3. Braised eggplant 4. House string beans 5. Seafood fried noodle But, I was looking forward to the spicy minced pork over with rice and it was NOT the same dish that came out. There's a dish called 免治牛肉飯 (minced beef over rice) and that's what was served to us. The one we were expecting is 泰式肉煎蛋飯 which is spicy and not saucy. So avoid ordering the spicy minced pork dish. read more

Beef Chow Fun - one of the very BEST versions of this Cantonese classic I've ever had in LA or OC (I live in the 626, so that's saying a lot.) A strong wiff of the 'wok hey' makes it extra memorable. Also it's literally 'dry' chow fun, not greasy at all. 5 Stars. So good I forgot to snap a photo Lol. Roast duck - very good, but I've had better. Minced beef egg white soup (aka Westlake beef soup) - Light, nourishing and hearty, very tasty broth, perfect for a wintry day in SoCal. This is one of the very few restaurants in the OC serving authentic Cantonese fare in a posh, elegant dining room. No complaints with the service. read more

If you're craving high quality and tasty Chinese food, try Dynasty. You'd never think a place nestled in a shopping mall parking lot would turn out surprisingly to be so good. The decor of the restaurant was very pretty, and the service was spot on. We ordered the egg flower, drop soup, the salt and pepper hot wings, the Mongolian, beef and the pan-fried house noodle dish. All of which were extremely delicious.! I will make sure to come here every time I'm in the area! read more

It's very tasty. The ambience is peaceful modern and elegant. The food is flavorful. My kids, 8 & 6 are very picky and they enjoy these dishes: orange chicken, chicken, fried rice, and mushroom with the mignon. I wish I had taken pictures before the review, but it is what it is.. I recommend this restaurant. I gave it 4 out of 5 because I need to try more dishes. read more

This is a solid Chinese restaurant near my place. I was craving egg tofu and this place makes it exactly the way I like it! They also have soy sauce stir fry noodles which is one of my favorite comfort dishes. I ordered for take out so I cannot speak much about the customer service but our food was made quickly so there are no issues with that. I will order again. read more

Submitted orde a day in advance and prepaid with tip! They said it would 630 - it's now 715 and still no food. Never go to this restaurant! No apology, total disorganization! Avoid at all costs!!! read more

Came here with a reservation for Chinese new year eve. We ordered many dishes to go with water and tea all around. The restaurant is spacious and has many large tables. Situated in a large plaza next to Daiso with ample parking. Service was lacking for the duration of the meal. We asked several times for refills and did not get it. We had to ask for water many times at the beginning before they finally brought a glass of water. We ordered extra buns for our Peking duck which we never got. Asked several times and was told it's coming but it never did. One of the waiters kept bringing dishes to us that we didn't order. By the end of the meal it appeared he just went to all the tables asking if they had ordered what he had in his hands. Not sure if it's because it was packed and new yrs eve but I would expect them to be prepared for such a day. The food overall was average. I was disappointed given the description of the owner on their menu touting his history working at some fancy places. The food did not live up to the hype or the prices. The most disappointing for us was the Peking duck. It was all skin and barely any meat. The meat were not attached to the skin at all. The skin wasn't as crispy and had no fat. We were also wondering where's the rest of the duck? For the cost of the dish, I expected the rest of the duck to be brought out on another plate as is usual with Peking duck at other restaurants. The portion for a whole duck was meager, cold and barely enough for a table of 5 adults and 2 kids. It feels like they may just have the Peking duck pre cut in the back and when it's ordered they piece it together. The buns tasted like something u get in the frozen section at the Asian market and reheated. Once again I'll mention we ordered extra buns but they never came. If I could give 2.5 stars I would. For the lack of service and the average food with the high prices. Would I come back? Probably not. read more

Order Fry rice and noodle with 3 more side . The food has no flavor like they forgot to seasoning it . Noodles is break apart not look like stir frying it . Not ever go back read more

Great food, loved the Peking duck. Have been back several times for lunch too!! Authentic cuisine!!!

Although it is not a DTF quality, we still enjoyed our lunch here and thought that their flavor profile was on point. Whether you are looking for a good lunch or dinner spot, you will find an array of various dishes to order. Priced reasonably and good parking. I would strongly recommend! read more

The food is so delicious. Waiters are not available when needed. I'm almost done eating before I got my chopsticks.

Came here for lunch and it was my first time since they had changed ownership and the name of the restaurant. They have great lunch specials. I ordered the orange chicken (with no spice) and it came with white rice and miso soup. Everything tasted delicious. The orange chicken was not too sweet and the portion was great which made it a plus. As you are eating, take a look around the restaurant. The decor is beautiful and so many cool sights. I definitely want to come back to try and the peppered beef noodles since my coworker ordered it. I got a sample and it was amazing!!! Next time!!! read more

Ordered takeout for me, the wife and our grandson. hot and sour soup, beef chow fun. Broccoli beef. Egg rolls. $67 not a bad price... the food though. The hot and sour soup was neither. It all tasted the same, the soup was very bland and had almost no taste. The chow fun was less than average. The texture was all the same... mush. The beef was tender and mushy also. Not what I wanted in my dish, but oh well. The egg rolls were ok. Grandson did not complain, so I guess it was okay but I suspect he just doesn't have anything to compare it to. We will not be back. Food was bad. Even pitched the menu so I wouldn't go again. read more

I really hope Dynasty continues to grow and thrive. The area is not ideal for this type of family style dining. It's tucked away next to TJ Maxx and Smart and Final in a predominantly non Asian neighborhood. Despite this set back, my first time dining here was absolutely delightful. Staff are so polite and attentive. The owner/chef came out to give me advice on how to order the lobster for the best flavor. He then asked the staff to help me carry the food to my car to help since I ordered a lot and had my son with me. The food was SO DELICIOUS. We ordered ginger scallion lobster, salt pepper tofu, filet mignon and sautéed snow pea shoots. The portions were extremely generous. The food was fresh and flavorful. We will definitely be back. read more

Great good! We got orange chicken and Mongolian beef. Delicious! Loved it. Will definitely come back! read more

Honestly we went with low expectations after seeing the poor reviews on Yelp, but so glad we gave this restaurant a try because it was great. The restaurant is elegant and clean. They also have several large round tables toward the back with the large lazy susan, like the ones you see in traditional Chinese restaurants. Yes, they are understaffed, but for a small business, it's hard to hire a dozen people unless you have customers lining out the door. We arrived right at 11 am when they opened, and there were several other large parties. But we got our food within reasonable amount of time, and the food was authentic Chinese. The staff members were attentive and friendly. We ordered a lot of food, and even wanted to try items that were actually not available when we were there. But there was not a dish that we did not like. Highly recommend for a nice sit down authentic Chinese meal. read more

Small local Chinese restaurant with large portions. It's definitely nicer and usually not too loud so great for a family get together. We came Saturday around 4:30 and were seated right away. We got the salt and pepper fried tofu, garlic pea shoots (not in the menu but available), and chow mein. The tofu is super crisp and delicious but the pea shoots were probably my favorite. They're garlicy, light, and a nice break from the carbs. The chow mein was flavorful and usually very crispy, but they were a little more soft this time around. Overall a great value, about $80 for four people (4 dishes and 4 bowls of rice). I also recommend coming in person because you get about double the serving size. read more

I'm back! It's all yummy to my tummy! Love it here. Chinese cooking so delicious. I've been coming back here many times now. Service is all great! Ambiance is awesome to me too. read more

Nice decor. New and clean dinning room. Main menu is good. Don't order dim sum items, they're not a dim sum restaurant, it'll take forever and it wont be freshly steamed. Under staffed. Anything takes forever. 20 mins before we can order and another hour before food comes. My 3rd time here, and it's the same every time. If you decide to come here, bring your patience and grace for the servers, it's not their fault the owner doesn't staff properly. read more

Review update note: I went to order some dim sum items and was told by the waitress that they no longer serve dim sum. Although I saw at the table next to me that they ordered (and received) some steamed dumplings. So I guess you can still get some of what's offered on the menu, but not everything. read more

A Chinese food restaurant that had only 4 or 5 tables occupied during a normal dinner time period and not one Asian in the space except employees is not a good sign. When our order arrived, we knew why. Won't return. read more

I received the menu advertisement in the mail and the head chef was a former executive chef so I decided to give this place a try. The interior is nicely decorated not your typical hole on the wall Chinese food so it's great for families. Sadly our experience wasn't the best tonight started with the napkins that had some white spots, seemed to be dried rice? Fast forward we ordered 4 dishes and only 3 came out so we finally asked the waiter about our noodle dish and was told he forgot to put it in and if we still wanted it, uh no we were already done eating at this point. -Xiao long bao 3/5, the skin was not thick nor thin but did not have broth. I did not need a soup spoon to eat them. -Spicy wontons 4/5, the sauce was different than most places but wish wonton fillings would have shrimp to add some juicy popping texture -Orange beef 2/5, the batter was way too thick so we could barely taste the beef, the sauce was sweet, tangy and salty perfect with white rice but way too much batter that made it soggy. The portion was huge but mostly flour and little beef. -House special pan fried noodles, wouldn't know it never came out -White rice $2 a cup, very good long grain fragrant jasmine rice. read more

Fans of the former Sam Woo Seafood Restaurant Irvine rejoice!!! Ever since Sam Woo Irvine (the fancy restaurant not the express BBQ) closed, I have been trying every Chinese restaurant in the vicinity of Irvine, Tustin, Orange, Westminster, Santa Ana area trying to find a restaurant that was on par and offered authentic Chinese at fair prices and portions large enough to have leftovers for take home. Yep that's a lot of Chinese restaurants I visited in an attempt to find a Sam Woo replacement. Finding Chinese restaurants on par with Dynasty was easy - if you're willing to drive to Monterey Park and Alhambra, not so in Orange County. After several months of ordering the exact same menu items at these restaurants to better compare each, I came across Yang Min and Royal Wok, both in Orange. If Dynasty is a solid 5, Royal Wok and Yang Min are low 4's. In my opinion, Royal Wok offers excellent value for the money and Yang Min is a somewhat close second to Dynasty, although Yang Min's prices are higher and portions smaller in comparison. Dynasty was actually one of the last ones I tried. I remember the location from a prior restaurant, but didn't realize that a new one/Dynasty had taken over. The prior restaurant was not memorable. So I again ordered my usual and got take-out, since we were still in the middle of Covid shutdowns. I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity, large portions and fair prices of the menu items I ordered. If I had any doubts about the Head Chef's training and background being a gimmick, those doubts completely disappeared after my first order. The interior of the restaurant is well appointed and elegant, very suitable for family meals, or for entertaining guests. I also like that the Chef is very accommodating to individual requests and I can be particular about how I like my dinner. Some Chefs find this annoying, yet I have never gotten any attitude at Dynasty. In fact, it has always been service with a smile for me. BTW, Dynasty's take out bag is consistently very well and thoughtfully packed to survive the trip home without any spills in the car. This is the first and only Chinese restaurant to date that I've come across that double wraps its take out container in a secondary thick plastic bag. I appreciate this, having had more than my share of spilled meat sauce on my leather seats and trunk space from leaky or uneven take out containers, not to mention keeping the food piping hot until ready to serve. Those of us within reasonable driving distance to Dynasty is lucky to have a Chinese restaurant of this caliber in a location where parking is easy and area is safe. There is no way to take a stroll to work off a full tummy in Monterey Park after dinner, or park a fancy car in a public lot without having to worry about safety. Dynasty Orange is a rare gem, every 5 star review is well deserved. I cannot sing enough praises about this restaurant. I won't post any recommendations here, again, Chinese food can be subjective. What one person finds flavorful, another could find too salty. I would suggest ordering your usual and request adjustments according to your individual taste. For me, it took a couple of tries (requests to the Chef) before it became perfection. So if your first visit wasn't perfect, take note of what you didn't like and try it again with a request to the Chef. Excellent restaurant all around. Highly recommend. read more

Would give 2.5 stars. Nice, clean and spacious restaurant with plenty of parking. Staff was kind and attentive. Juicy pork dumplings* - flavor was good but none had soup in it :( You can see in the picture that it all leaked out somehow even though the dumplings had no holes that I could see. The cover was a little thick and got hard the longer it sat. Spicy wonton- wasn't spicy at all, five spice flavoring, I wouldn't get again Kung pao chicken- I wasn't a fan... chicken breast that wasn't flavored enough. No wok hei, lack in color, flavoring just wasn't there. Braised crispy tofu with three delights*- this lacked wok hei too, but it was the one of the best dishes we got here. The tofu was silky soft on the inside. There were imitation crab, squid, shrimp, fish fillet, 1 mussel and some veggies. Hot mustard, chili oil, chopsticks, etc given upon request. read more

Wow , how do you tell your customers that you can be seated but have to wait 45 min to get your food? Talk about bad business and management of your store. I don't know why they think someone would sit there for 45 minutes and just wait for food? Why are you open then? Close until you can serve your customers that are actually there willing to pay and eat‍. I probably could have stepped outside and phone ordered our meal and would have gotten it in 15-20 min ‍ read more

I'm always in search of a good, authentic Chinese restaurant, so I was excited to check out this new place. We came here for dinner on a Saturday, and we didn't have to wait. I was really impressed by the ambiance, since it was modern, new, and bright. The menu has a lot to offer. It mostly seemed like Americanized dishes, although there were some authentic offerings. We ordered the chicken chow fun ($15.99), special Dungeness crab ($58.99), honey garlic pork chops ($15.99), and the ong choy. After waiting about 40 minutes, our waitress told us they didn't have the ong choy, so we ordered the pea shoots ($18.99). The wait for food was long since I think the kitchen was understaffed. One of the servers apologized for the wait, so that was nice. The first item to arrive at our table was the beef chow fun (they had messed up our order). The chow fun was pretty good, although I wish the chow fun had the large, fat noodles instead of the thin ones. The dish wasn't too salty, so that was appreciated. The beef was pretty tender, and there was a good amount of beef in the dish. We then got the chicken chow fun as we ordered, and they were nice enough to let us keep both of the chow funs. The chicken chow fun had a stronger flavor for the noodles, so I liked it much better, but there wasn't much chicken in the dish. The crab was nicely presented, and had a good flavor with a slight spicy kick. Crab is super messy and hard to eat, but there were some pieces with a good amount of meat. The honey garlic pork chop was a little soggy, but I enjoyed the sweet flavor, and the pork had a lot of meat and wasn't caked in batter, so that was a plus. It wasn't super tender though. The pea shoots were tasty, but some pieces were a little too salty. Service was slow as the food took more than 40 minutes to arrive to our table. However, our waitress was attentive. She filled our waters three times, and frequently checked in on how the food was. We also appreciated the extra chow fun dish since they had brought in the wrong order. Price was good for the amount and quality. read more

I'm still eating as I'm writing this review and I have to say this place is such a gem! For all the other reviews that talked about the service and whatnot- don't listen to them lol... These are hardcore Chinese/Hong kong people so the food and service is going to be traditional and straight to the point- basically where they will do what they need to do. Don't expect some PF Chang chitchatting if that's what you enjoy doing. I enjoyed the food a lot. I ordered: Crab soup (10/10): honestly the best soup I've had in awhile!! I love how they gave us white pepper to season the soup even more. Even without the seasoning, it still tasted so good!!! Fried rice (7/10): I'm not really into fried rice, but I wanted to try it out and it wasn't too bad! I felt like it could've been a bit more white pepper added Black pepper mushroom filet mignon (9/10): I haven't had this in so long and this reminded me of home!! This goes SO WELL with plain white rice because of the sauce Spicy wonton (8/10): This isn't spicy at all tbh! And it's more on the sweeter side compared to mama lus or Din tai fung! Overall, if you're thinking about trying this place out, please keep an open mind because this isn't some whitewashed Chinese food! This place is legit and I love this place!! read more

I've never eaten here, only gotten take out. I love their salt and pepper pork chop, super juicy, never been dry. Their braised spicy eggplant is perfection. The eggplant isn't greasy like a lot of other places. Their eggrolls are your standard, nothing exceptional. Orange peel beef was a surprising crowd favorite. The beef was juicy and had great flavor. Highly recommend. Their portions are large. read more

A very conflicting review. Food itself is GOOD!! 5 stars for that. Flavors were on point and has a great menu with a large assortment of options. However, we have always had at least one service issue when we come, as in, food is missing, wrong food was given, delays, etc. So if you can overlook something wrong happening, then the food could be worth it for you. read more

The Good: - Food was delicious (Orange Chicken $13 lunch) - Dinner was Orange Cirspy Beef, BBQ Pork noodles, and Wonton Soup Food portions were generous - Loved the spacious, modern new interior The Bad - On a Saturday night, bad service This is an updated review after a Thursday lunch, which was a very good experience, and their first Saturday night, was not so good. Over the years, my favorite Chinese places have disappeared, such as Yen Ching and Green China in Orange, Chinatown and China West in Irvine. Those are places that were clean inside, and overall delicious food, and great staff that were nicely dressed. Thankfully this new place was all those things, at least at lunch, BUT NOT AT DINNER. It's a good menu, everything I like including the usual favorites but also some dumplings, crab and lobster, and vegetables. We need to eat more veggies. At lunch, It took about 10 minutes at 1:30 PM on a Monday to get my food after ordering. First was the egg drop soup and it was HOT, the way I like it, not warm or watered down. The Orange Chicken was crispy, sweet, and a little on the hot side especially if you eat the small little pieces of pepper. I loved the texture, tender inside and crisp on the outside. Dinner was a BAD experience No complaints about the food - but those take home containers can be tough to open. Got there at 7:45 and seated around 8 PM and gave our order. After 15 minutes, the waiter comes back with the soup . But he tells us he forgot what our entrees were, as well as my beer. And he wrote it down earlier! So he had to resubmit my order. We were not the only one unhappy with the service. A party seated about the same time as us left the restaurant after 25 minutes and cancelled their foor order. No one came by for a long time to clean up the soup plates or refill my friend's soda. By then, we had been in the restaurant almost 45 minutes, still hungry and angry..."hangry". People who got there way after us got their food before us! Then I realized, out waiter disappeared. I had to flag down another waiter to ask what happened to our order. He thankfuly brought it out a few minutes later. We were there until after 9:15 PM. No one came by to check to see how we were doing. In many restaurants, even the manager or owner does that. So until they have these issues resolved, I'm not coming back. read more

Dynasty - Orange Chicken lunch with soup $13 - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

Good service, we went with all colleague 22 people. I liked the fry fish. It's a nice ambiance and calm.

Stopped by here for lunch after being told this was a really good place from my boss. We tried the Chinese green beans, sweet and sour soup, and chow mein. This place has to have the best hot and sour soup that I've ever had. It's tangy yet sweet and had a lot of mushrooms, tofu and eggs in it so that each bite was filling instead of just slurping up the soup. Will try coming back during dinner as there's some dishes that are only available for dinner service. read more
