Best Chinese place in Athens. Dynasty Restaurant is good for carryout. It has the classic favorites you get in any Chinese place. Good healthier options here. They have some great items that have tofu. Come at lunch. It has some good specials. These are a lot cheaper and portions are still pretty big too. Good vegetarian choices. They have quite a few. I had the Szechuan Bean Curd. It's about $7 for the lunch special. This comes with a pop or a salad or whatever else they let you. On this the tofu was somewhat crispy. This wasn't hard but it could be chewed and not overcooked. It probably is the best Chinese around here. It has very good prices. This will save a lot while saving good taste. read more

Dynasty Restaurant - Szechuan Bean Curd - Chinese Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Ok food, but expensive for what you get. There's no indoor dining which makes no sense because you need to sit down to eat the food. The service is ok, they're not rude but also don't seem to care either way. read more

I've been going there for years, always been good except my last experience. Food was burned and dried out. But they made it right. Except for the hostess was very rude and argumentative, I'm thinking twice about going back. Pay good money for a meal, don't need an attitude. read more

I order all the time from this place but now the boy/guy working the counter can't get my order right and constantly putting me on hold through my order I think I'm done ordering from here ever again bring back the girl or find someone who's willing to pay attention to my order this is sad because I did actually like the place been going here for 14yrs but no more read more

This place was not good at all in my opinion. I ordered: crab ragoons- absolutely terrible & not much filling or crab tasting hot & sour soup- couldn't even eat it, almost flavorless but not good chicken Lomein- the chicken didn't taste like it was cooked right and the flavor of lo Mein was not its typical delicious flavor. Despite how terrible I thought this place is, my roommate who is vegan thought the tofu was very very good read more

Best Chinese takeout in Ohio! The hot and sour soup is so good. Plus they offer gluten-free items!

My family frequents this restaurant fairy often because the food is usually very good. Tonight, however we ordered Christmas dinner for our family and half of our food was burnt. We ordered 2 orders of fried dumplings and they were both burnt. My dinner was supposed to be chicken cashew combo with fried rice. I was given white rice and my meal tasted like nothing but burnt chicken. Our Christmas dinner was extremely disappointing! read more

Carry out only. No dine in since Covid. Always a line of people to pick up their orders which I think says a lot about a place. Typical Chinese food or ask for the special menu and order something different than usual. I usually get anything they have but with tofu. Always happy with my choices. Kids love it too!! read more

It's still carry out now but the food was great! Loved the Hong Kong style roast duck. Very crispy outside and tender juicy inside. They have private parking so it's pretty easy to park. If I go to Athens again I'll definitely go back. read more

Walnut shrimp is amazing and their crab rangoon is the best in the area. Staff is great and remember you. I highly recommend eating here.

I don't like that the prices went up. But I didn't have enough and she took what I had. So that's cool. Great food. Always taste amazing. Fresh and Hot. Good quality. Plus they speak English. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place!! I am a vegetarian and I order the tofu and it is incredibly tasty. It is rare to find an Asian restaurant that even offers vegetarian options, let alone make it perfectly. The portions are big and last me two meals, affordable for a college student and so so good. Service is great too! Will definitely keep ordering. read more

Dynasty Restaurant - General Tso tofu - Chinese Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Ease to order (take out only right now) Very good flavors, but not as spicy hot as we requested. We will be back read more

Dynasty is our go-to for many reasons. It is quick, it is affordable, it has dishes that go beyond the Americanized version of Chinese food, and the proprietors are always welcoming. It also has secondary indicators of quality ie there are always Chinese students eating there, testifying to the quality and authenticity of the cuisine. They are also quick, they get the takeout order right so no unpleasant surprises when you get home (can't be said of a few other places in town). They are also a welcome sign of dining life beyond fast food on the southern part of town that is otherwise largely bereft of options. read more

Our favorite Chinese restaurant in Athens! Great food, reasonable prices, and super-nice people.

Found long black hair in 3 of our dishes! Food was okay, but finding so much hair in the dishes was disgusting and unhygienic!!

Great takeout for an after Thanksgiving family gathering. Egg rolls & beef & broccoli were exceptional. Wonton soup needed salt. Also ordered house special fried rice, chicken with garlic sauce, Mongolian beef, Hunan beef, chicken teriyaki, & crab Rangoon. Everyone was happy. read more

We absolutely love Dynasty. We've done takeout during covid. Staff is always super friendly and thorough. Food is amazing and they're always happy to accommodate a large family takeout order. Thanks for the awesome service Dynasty! read more

There are many different Chinese restaurants to pick from in Athens, but this one is absolutely amazing. The beef lo mein literally smells like garlic bread, and you get a TON for what you pay. My roommates and I ordered from them all the time and our order was always ready to go in fifteen minutes or less. Always correct and always delicious! read more

Our group was divided, some lived and and some thought it was average. Service was quick, had to ask the cashier to turn the noise on her phone off read more

Dynasty Restaurant - Fantastic portions and great food at affordable prices. - Chinese Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Tips: If hard on cash go for the lunch menu. It is only about 7$ with taxes and you also get a soup. Authentic Chinese, cheap, large portion. Ignore the ambience. I and my husband tried it on the recommendation of a few Chinese friends and liked the food. We weren't much hungry and ordered the lunch menu. I went for the sesame chicken while my husband went for chicken with garlic sauce (mix of chicken and veggies). For the soup we ordered egg soup out of 3 options which also had the wonton soup. The egg soup was raw egg and we didn't enjoy it much because my husband is not fond of raw eggs. The main course was a plate with half chicken and half rice (we went for fried rice out of the two options of white and fried rice). The chicken was soft and amazing. The fried rice also had a lovely taste and included sautéed onions and egg. The ambience is reasonably good. The meal was satisfying. read more

All the dishes are wonderful! There are many kinds of Chinese food. I haven't remember any weakness of this restaurant. I am Chinese and I really like it! If you want real Chinese food, pls ask them for a Chinese menu! read more

So after I place my to go order and they repeat it back to me I get there and it's all screwed up and I'm told that I ordered wrong. Absolutely wrong I have come there for a long time and gotten the same thing. Completely unacceptable so now half of my food is cold and the other half is wrong read more

Do not be deceived by the outer appearance! The service is friendly, the food good and the inside is cute and minty. I recommend if you are looking for Chinese in the Athens area. If you are just looking for fried rice, though, it's ok but you may find better elsewhere. read more

We were just visiting so I can't compare to other places in town, but I thought this was quite tasty! They have an American-style and an authentic Chinese menu - we ordered from both, but the authentic stuff was definitely better (I am Chinese). Highlights were the scallion pancake and the crispy salt and pepper shrimp. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Apparently they are the only restaurant in Athens that is "unable to obtain produce". Plenty of other Chinese restaurants in Athens that seem to be able to find it is the good news. read more

Great food, amusingly terrible service! We only order out.

The food is in good Cantonese style, but only in Cantonese style.Other dishes (Szechuan or Northern style) are not authentic. I like their eggplant in particular. The service can be better. First, the lady started collecting dishes before we finished. We had to tell her that we had not finished. She seemed to assume that as long as we did not work on a dish for 2-3minutes, then we did not want it. No... People took a rest or had conversations when they had dinner. Second, I was told (both times I dined there) in particular that I should tip and tips were not included in the bill. I understand some Chinese people do not pay tips and I know that you can see that I am Chinese. But people always say that if you treat others in a way merely based on their race or nationality, it is racism. So, please reserve your judgment on me after I pay my bill, which is not that difficult. read more

If u want to find the best Chinese restaurant in Athens, this is so far the best. Even Chinese think the food is great there, but be sure to order the Chinese dishes, not American styled Chinese dishes. read more

Dynasty serves inexpensive, very authentic Chinese food. The portions are big, prices are cheap, and the menu has lots of items.

They got the delivery order wrong, promised to compensate us for the inconvenience with a free meal (of the correct order which we paid for), then later went back on their word and said they would only provide us with a discount. Beyond that, the food was mediocre. read more

Oh, it is not a traditional Chinese food. And the boss lady seems so serious about the tips. There is a service lady who always forgets to bring the customer the right things, the service is awful sometimes. I will not go back again. Price too high. read more

This is one of my top two favorite authentic Chinese restaurants in Athens! I have a lot of fun trying different dishes on their Chinese menu which is a lot like gambling since only the dish name is in English. The roast duck, cilantro chicken, chili beef, and beef chow fun, pea shoots, spicy cabbage to name a few are some of our favorites. One star taken off because most often we get the one waitress there who struggles the most with English. We always have lots of menu questions, requests and special orders and she often becomes visibly frustrated and tends to treat us roughly. We stay away for a few months until she is happy to see us again. read more

Beautiful and clean restaurant. Friendly and efficient staff! Cilantro chicken was AWESOME!!

So good! I lived in Carriage Hill Apartments while in Athens, and Dynasty was/is just down the road, within easy walking distance (which always made me feel better about the imminent take-out I was about to eat..). I only ever got takeout, but the seating area looked nice. The food is excellent. I'm fairly boring in that I basically just like tofu/vegetables/rice (and spicy!), and I was always able to order exactly what I liked/wanted. I definitely recommend. read more

Definitely the best Chinese food in Athens. Portions are massive and the prices are really reasonable.

The food here is great. I love the option of having traditional Chinese food and it was all very interesting. The peaking duck was my favorite, it comes in 3 courses. The chefs were on point. The stars were taken off because i always get this one older waitress thats very rude. Shes the reason i dont go there anymore. Shes what i would define as disgusting. One day i came in for a late lunch while she was eating. When she came to greet us she had food in her mouth and kept on talking. Every time i come in shes always snorting and when she sneezes its always in her hand. I usually dont see her wash her hands either. She always gets annoyed when i ask her the simplest questions like is there any way to have rice in a separate plate instead of together on one. Also when i ask her ab certain dishes she grabs my menu and points at the dish. Honestly whats the point of that. Other than that bitch the restaurant is pretty clean and friendly, but she's enough to keep me away and i wont be back for the foreseeable future. read more
