I'd give this place 3.7 stars but rounding up. We had a variety of dim sum dishes and they were mostly very good, though not exceptional. The decor and ambiance is nice - very spacious and elegant. You can join the waitlist from Yelp - always a plus. Highlights: the har gow were plump with large pieces of shrimp and minimal filler. The dumpling skin was on the thicker side (I don't mind it but my wife likes thinner skins.) Maybe that was needed because of how big these were - really packed with shrimp. The mango pudding was delicious and reminded us of childhood, and the shrimp noodle roll was great. Lowlight: I was less happy with the xiaolongbao - there are so many good options for these in the South Bay that this meager interpretation was frankly bordering on blasphemy. I would not order those again. The steamed char siu bao were far better but still could've used more pork in the filling and were slightly soggy and over steamed. We also had the beef chow fun which was excellent with smoky wok hei flavor. Overall a good place for dim sum but avoid the xiaolongbao. read more

Fine dining, Chinese style. The exterior of the building is unassuming, you would not guess the beauty and atmosphere and experience that awaits you on the inside! This is our family's new celebration restaurant. You know, the place you go to when out of town guests come and you want to treat them. The place you go to to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. The first time we came was for dim sum, which was soo good! I like that they still do carts and you get to experience the steam that tells you it's fresh. The interior design is beautiful, refined elegances, with marble flooring, chandeliers above, bright lighting, big screens where appropriate, numerous private rooms and details even in the bathrooms. It is a banqueting venue with ample space for weddings and large events. Our family particularly love their large round tables that can accommodate up to 12, as sometimes it's hard to eat all together at 1 table. When we were there for Chinese New Year celebration, they had a special menu with different selections to choose from. There was also a large party going on, where they were able to partition off the main space for privacy. Also there was a Tesla test driving promotion out front. Definitely good business to partner with other services like that, knowing their clientele. Overall, highly recommend this beautiful restaurant. Of course, it is on the high end of dining experiences, but for special occasions, I think it's worth it. read more

Food: ***** Service: ***** Ambiance: **** private room was too cold. Best whole winter melon soup, so many rich ingredients. This is hard to find prepared in other restaurants, these days. Must order ahead. Most of the dishes were very good. Excellent quality of ingredients. And ample portions. There were 2 misses, though. The beef and assorted mushroom was oddly sweet. Heavy hand seasoning by mistake, perhaps. The steamed pork hash with salt preserved fish was off the mark. It was seasoned with Sichuan peppercorn. That is never done in traditional Cantonese kitchens. It's country cooking. Disappointing. Overall, it's a upscale restaurant with service to match. Prices are probably high. This is the new location and name for Dynasty Restaurant that was in another mall in Cupertino. Excellent dim sum could be had there. The dim sum should be good here too. read more

I think this is the 2nd or 3rd location in the South Bay... I'm not certain. Their website is not functional as of this review. I'm presuming this place is related to the one in Milpitas. Everything looks the same or extremely similar inside; form the entrance, to the giant screen on the back wall to the fish tanks with live seafood and the private dining rooms. I usually go to the Milpitas location with my extended family for big dinner celebrations. This year we had a bit of a change. I think this location was chosen probably because the Milpitas one was full. This is a new location, I didn't even know this place was open until I was told to come here for dinner. I reckon not a lot of people are aware... This location was empty compared to the Milpitas one, it wasn't even a 1/3 full when we came on a Friday evening! The parking lot was still jam packed, and parking was a bit of a challenge. It's not the biggest or parking lots. Although I believe this is the same chain, I found the food to be much better at this location. I didn't feel lethargic and sleepy right after I ate, I also felt everything tasted better as well. I can't stand some of the dishes at the Milpitas location. They taste off to me. My family members seem to agree or have the same consensus as well. I'd rather return to this location for future events... read more

Average Cantonese seafood quality with prices that are extremely high for what the food really is. San Jose does not really have much competition in this area in the past decade with the loss of Mings and Dynasty in Cupertino so I can see why they would charge premium for sub-par food. read more

Revisited Grand Dynasty and they are still solid option for push cart dim sum. I do think the quality is a little less consistent than when they first opened, but the food is still generally good, service is attentive, and parking is easy with a huge shared lot. Went on a Sunday before 11 AM and the restaurant was fairly empty, but by the time we left just before noon, there was a fairly long queue out the door. The crystal dumpling skin (the kind on the har gow or scallop shrimp dumplings) were unfortunately much thicker this time around and a bit overcooked, which made them a mushy and not very structurally sound with the fillings falling out. The fried items (fried glutinous dumplings and crispy taro puffs) were actually delightfully fresh and not greasy at all. Chicken feet and egg tarts are always a solid option here as well. TLDR; not the kind of dim sum that will blow your socks off, but it's a classic neighborhood spot that's still a great option. read more

Very grand, very nice. Some hits, some misses. Spareribs and chicken feet were surprisingly bland, and the XO rice rolls were super salty. The $17 green beans were surprisingly skimpy. Overall, nothing was standout amazing, but nothing was bad. Just your average dim sum in a beautiful renovated setting. read more

It is a nice restaurant for birthday celebrations. The service was good. The food was generally tasty. The Peking duck was mainly skin not much meat somehow... we should have asked to pack home the sauce and the cucumber/green onion that we didn't finished. The crispy pork belly had good and crispy top but the meat was a bit dry. Veggies were good. 18% of service charge was on the bill already. The staff was nicely mentioned about it to us when we were making payment. read more

The food was terrible, during the whole meal time we were only provided one napkins, you had to "find" more.

The food was decent, but there was no service at all. We came around 1115am on Sat and got seated quickly within 5 mins. However, It took a while to get our waitress to come and order food. We kept waving at them, but all of them just kept saying we gotta get this other person, basically just pointing at each other 4-5 times. The carts also didnt come very often and not sure if it was because we were seated near the side. They also automatically added 18% to the bill without saying anything about it, which was annoying since there was no service at all. Overall, it was a meh experience, will try other places before coming back read more

First and foremost, Esmond, the event manager, was amazing to work with. Before we went to Grand Dynasty, I read a lot of reviews for Grand Dynasty specifically for weddings, and the positive feedback about Esmond was 100% true. We felt so taken care of and each time we showed up to Grand Dynasty regarding questions during the wedding preparation, Esmond was present, patient, and always pleasant to work with. We did not feel pressured in any way to make any specific decisions. Weddings are incredibly chaotic. In fact, we forgot to even taste our cake after cutting it because we were behind schedule and had to move along in our program. Though the cake was not cut and served to guests, which was supposed to be done (cake cut fee per table), but luckily we saw family the next day that we could share and distribute the cake to. That would be my only concern to have wasted the wedding cake because it wasn't served. But we could have also communicated if we had remembered. Things happen, but regardless we had a wonderful experience. We chose Grand Dynasty specifically because of the large screen, which we incorporated as a backdrop. We worked with another company called TDE Weddings for decorations, but the restaurant itself already has beautiful lighting, chandeliers, red and gold accents which we incorporated into our theme. They also had a small bridal closet for dress changes where we were able to store our reception items/wedding favors/name cards/seating chart. We were also able to drop it off the day before so there was no need to worry about it on the wedding day. We did choose to book the full banquet hall. Logistics-wise for set-up, we chose to section off the first third for the restaurant with a wall partition which worked perfectly to make the bar area a cocktail area. Our guests loved the dim sum which we ordered as appetizers before the main course, which was incredibly bountiful. Genuinely, our guests kept talking about how good the food was (we decided to go with the Perfect Match banquet menu). Also, we were eating our leftovers days after and it was delicious. We were able to use the screen for personalized slideshows and have a wedding that felt like the most perfect representation of us. It has been over a week since our wedding and we have no regrets. It is definitely one of the most memorable evenings because our guests enjoyed every bit of it but also because we enjoyed every bit of it. Wherever and however you choose to have your wedding, don't forget to have fun! I highly recommend Grand Dynasty and I would most definitely plan future events (not just weddings) here! read more

We went there this Sat for Mother's Day lunch. The food was horrible, apparently was not individually cooked, very greasy with lots of SMG. An 18% tip was added automatically even with a group of 6 people including a 6 year old child. More ridiculously was that 10% tax was charged on the sum of the bill and the 18% of tip. I never experienced a restaurant even charge tax on the tip. They are not doing business, but stealing people's money. I won't recommend it to any of my friends, nor would I go there again. Y.H. read more

Love the decor here. High ceiling, many chandeliers, bright lighting feels more like an experience than going in for dinner. Got many dishes, but some of the highlights were the Peking duck, smoked sea bass and scallops. If I were to compare it to other Chinese banquet type restaurants, this would definitely be above average in atmosphere, service, food and price. I thought the food was just a little better in a slight way than what I normally get and other restaurants. Overall, I would come back for a special occasion or family dinner here. read more

Visited for Chinese New Year dinner with family and had a great dinner! We were seated promptly in a clean and nice ballroom style dining room and ordered from a set of New Years dishes.

Overall very authentic Cantonese restaurant that also functions as a banquet! read more

I came here one evening for dinner with family. It is the first time I've formally had Cantonese food in the South Bay. Grand Dynasty did not disappoint, my relatives said this is their favorite Cantonese restaurant as the chefs who cook the food make delicious dishes. After coming here, I agree with them. Everything we ordered was very tasty and seasoned perfectly. We ordered a variety of dishes and they also have specials for the day that they share with you when you arrive. We ordered the chef special fried rice, pan fried vermicelli with steak cubes and scallop, sautéed mixed vegetables and lotus root, beef brisket with enoki mushroom, hand roasted squab and a steamed clam/abalone with vermicelli. All the dishes were so good, but my favorite was their fried vermicelli with steak cubes and scallop. It was the first time I've had fried vermicelli which reminded me of crispy rice. It went nicely with the filling inside the noodles - the steak and scallops were cooked perfectly. I also really enjoyed their chef fried rice, with various dried seafood mixed in, but what is special is the strands of eggs cooked in the fried rice. Very good and flavorful. They also have dim sum in the morning, so will come here to try it in the future. Overall, will come back here again. read more

I think they have the best dim sum here in South Bay, but it is pricey. $70 for 2 people and they add 18% gratuity automatically. Originally they wanted to seat us all the way hidden in the back. We asked for seating in the front and the service was so good! I do recommend Dynasty but come here knowing it's pricey. read more

This is my first time dining at Grand Dynasty. It is located in the Orchard Farms Shopping Center. There is plenty of parking in this center. The place is so spacious and huge. They also have side rooms for parties of 25+. We were in the main dining area as we were here for a wedding reception. Decorations were nice and fancy. They do offer a small bar area. Two separate multi-user men & women restrooms. Live Seafood Tanks. The food was Cantonese cuisine and delicious! read more

This place was poppin' on a Saturday after the holidays! Parking is tricky right in front of the storefront, but if you go around the lot closer to the street near Safeway or even the back, you'll have a much better time. Line was literally out the door with huge crowds waiting for their table. Luckily, we had a reservation for a baby shower in one of their private rooms so we were able to walk past the crowds and straight to our table. The restaurant was very lively, full of excited patrons and hungry crowds. Having a room came in so clutch because it was absolute chaos in the main dining room. We later found out there was a wedding taking place at the restaurant since we could hear drums for either lion or dragon dancing (couldn't see so not too sure!). Food was plentiiiiiful. We were stuffed by the third of fourth plate and we had so many more plates coming. The beef teriyaki was easily my fav, followed by the dan tats for dessert; honorable mention for the chow mein-as simple as it was, it was solid and an appropriate palette cleanser given all the other delicious flavors from our other dishes. This is our second time here and we're looking forward to the third time being a trip out for their dim sum menu! read more

I have been here twice. The place is very spacious and there is a lot of parking but on busy days, might need to spend some time looking for parking or park a little further. I wouldn't say their dimsum items are way better than other places but it's decent. We got har gow, shrimp rice roll, fried pork ribs, xlb soup dumplings, and etc. We also got their special items such as the deep fried eggplant and the salted egg yok pumpkin. The fried eggplant was really good and would recommend it! read more

Our friends invited us to our choice of either a dim sum lunch or dinner at Grand Dynasty, their favorite local Chinese restaurant. We opted for dinner, and we met at opening time on Tuesday evening. The restaurant is huge with multiple dining rooms. The main dining room was the only one open when we were there and then, only the front half. The tables are spaced well apart so there's plenty of room to walk. The four of us were given a table set for six. Because we sat close to each other, we only took up 3/4 of the table. We had pre-ordered a Fried Whole Sticky Rice Stuffed Chicken and needed to fill in the rest of our menu. The staff was patient with us and offered suggestions. Fried Whole Sticky Rice Stuffed Chicken - 5 - This was our favorite dish of the evening. Unlike other versions that we've had, this one was not as hard fried which actually made it more pleasant to eat. The rice was flavorful enough that I never used the sauce that came with the dish. Salt & Pepper Prawns - 4 - The texture was a little different in that the shell was not as crispy as we had expected. While the peppers were present, they didn't really add much flavor to the dish. The salt was also very subtle. Green Beans and Eggplant in Garlic Sauce - 4 - Second favorite dish of the evening. Good flavors and textures. Steak Cubes in Teriyaki Sauce - 4 - The steak cubes were very tender. The teriyaki sauce had a strong flavor but did not taste like teriyaki sauce to either of us. We found the American broccoli to be kind of odd as steak cubes are more often served with bok choy, which would have been preferred. At the end of our meal, we were served two desserts, probably because our friends were regulars. We got bowls of sweet red bean soup and plates of mango pudding. The menu is pretty and loaded with pictures of their offerings. We'll probably be back to try some other flavors some time down the road. We had asked for ice water for all four of us and were served cold water. When mine was nearly empty, I asked for iced water with an emphasis on ice. The young lady brought me a tall glass of ice, which I offered to share around the table, and a carafe of cold water. She and the servers also kept our tea pot filled. I don't understand why our table didn't have a lazy Susan in the center. These are common in many Chinese restaurants with round tables because it makes it easier for each diner to be able to get to each item without the passing around of dishes. While we only had four dishes, it was a pain to continually stop eating to pass dishes around. In one of my past jobs, I was part of the safety team and trained in assessing ergo practices in an effort to reduce injuries. I give Grand Dynasty kudos for the spaciousness of their dining room and allowing staff to use carts to bring out the dishes of food instead of having to hand carry them. On a side note, the restrooms were definitely the cleanest that we've experienced in a Chinese restaurant anywhere in the world! read more

Have been coming here on and off since they opened. The decor is pretty grand with high ceilings, kinda nice for banquets. They also have a few private rooms of varying sizes for smaller parties. Parking is usually hectic around there with a Safeway and several other restaurants. Came here for dim sum with two other couples on a Saturday. It was not totally full at 11:30am but filled up gradually towards noon. They actually took reservations also. The nice thing about coming on weekends is that they have dim sum carts running around. On weekdays when it's less busy, most items are cooked to order. Had a variety of the standard dim sum dishes like shrimp dumplings, Siu Mai, beef rice rolls, chive and shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, baked BBQ pork buns, fried taro dumplings, and bean curd skin rolls. Also had tofu pudding for dessert. Everything was quite good and authentic. The skin on the shrimp dumplings was a bit too thick. Service was average. Overall it is a pretty solid dim sum spot. read more

Grand Dynasty - A variety of dim sum dishes. - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

We were looking for a place to host our grandson's celebration and decided to give try this place since they are close by. We came for dim sum for a party of 5 - not busy. We ordered the typical dim sum; shrimp dumplings, sui mai, shrimp noodles, etc. Dim sum were served cold - how could it be served cold given it should've been steamed and served hot. Shrimp was chewy and tasted old. Service was not good. With all that said, our bill was over $200 with 18% service charge. I would not mind paying 18% or more service charge if we actually got service. We will not be returning or recommend this place. read more

We hosted a small wedding banquet here with about 30 guests in one of their private rooms, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the staff was extremely accommodating and incredibly attentive - I can't stress that enough! Whether it was refilling water, clearing plates, or swapping dishes, someone was always there without us needing to ask. It truly made the experience smooth and stress-free. We ordered the Longevity Banquet Package ($868) and substituted the "Long Live E-Fu Noodle" with the "Sun Dried Scallop Seafood Combination Egg White Fried Rice." We also had two vegetarian guests, and the staff kindly prepared separate vegetarian-friendly dishes that were beautifully presented without drawing attention or making anyone feel singled out. We also requested to use the two TVs in the room to showcase a short video, and the team was kind enough to help with the technical setup. Here's what we ordered: Roasted Pork Belly BBQ Combination Platter - 9/10 A guest favorite! The pork belly was perfectly crisp. The baby octopus was a bit sweet for everyone's taste. Dried Scallop Bird's Nest Soup with Bamboo Pith - 10/10 Rich, flavorful, and comforting. Red vinegar and white pepper were provided on the side. Sautéed Prawn & Scallop in Black Truffle Sauce - 10/10 This was devoured quickly. Even our more traditional guests who aren't used to truffle loved it. It was not overpowering at all. Braised #8 Whole Abalone and Shiitake Mushroom with Emerald Greens - 10/10 One of the standout dishes. This was cleared instantly by our guests. Steamed Maine Lobsters & Vermicelli in Garlic Sauce - 9/10 We were pleasantly surprised to receive two whole lobsters. The presentation was beautiful and stayed true to the anatomy of the lobster. Some cuts were a bit tricky to eat, which comes down to the chef's prep technique. Peking Duck with Steamed Buns - 9/10 A classic! Loved the sauce and accompaniments. We just wished there was a more generous serving of cucumbers and green onions. Some duck cuts were inconsistent in size compared to top-tier spots in SoCal. Braised Pea Sprouts with Fresh Crab Meat - 9/10 Delicious and well-cooked, though I didn't notice much actual crab meat in the dish. Steamed Fresh Catch of the Day - 9/10 Perfectly steamed. The fish was flaky and tender. Could've used a bit more sauce to better complement the thickness of the fish cuts. Sun Dried Scallop Seafood Combination Egg White Fried Rice - 10/10 Amazing substitute dish. I'd come back just for this dish. Dessert - Red Bean Soup - 9/10 A comforting, traditional end to the meal. Not overly sweet, just right. Overall, this was a flawless experience from beginning to end, and we're so happy we chose this venue for our celebration. Highly recommend for any private event or banquet! read more

One of the best dim sum experiences I've had in the Bay, if not the one. I'm actually a little salty that my parents have been gatekeeping this spot my entire life and have only taken me to other restaurants! I'll give this to them, I'm not sure if I would be able to fully appreciate the flavors and difficulty that goes into each of the dishes here if I was exposed to it at a younger age... We got the har gow, pan fried shrimp dumpling with chives, some sesame glutinous rice balls, pork chang fen, mango dumpling, thousand layer cake, black gold lava buns, and dry scallop egg white fried rice. I'm definitely forgetting some of the dishes, but these were so good. My absolute favorite would have to be the pan fried shrimp dumpling with chives. So much flavor just bursting out of the filling alone! The sesame glutinous rice balls were really good too, but they were so sweet. I could only have one without feeling guilty! Their egg white fried rice is honestly on par with Koi Palace, and they stood out with a handful of dishes in comparison (the changfen to be specific). read more

The food was great, but service not so much. We ordered a lot with 6 people, but because we were seated towards the back of the restaurant it felt like they forgot about us a little. Other than that, all the food was very good. The prices were somewhat reasonable although more on the higher side. It was also a little difficult to have a conversation because of the noise. I've definitely had better dim sum but it wasn't the worst. read more

THIS PLACE IS DESPERATE FOR TIPS! THE WATIER WAS EMBARRASSING ME IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS, DEMANDING TIPS BEFORE I LEAVE! I was having lunch at Grand Dynasty with two friends and we had a nice conversation during the meal. After the meal, I asked them for a box to take a few extra things to go. When they presented the bill to me in print, I noticed they included an 18% service charge on the after-tax total of both dine-in and to-go orders, which of course they did not tell us. Unlike other places, this is now the lowest amount I needed to pay, and there is nowhere for me to lower the tip amount if I gave them my card. I politely asked the waitress to adjust the bill to include the 18% on the dine-in part only. She said, "no, we cannot do that. You should have told us before I printed the bill. You did not tell me in advance". I said I did not know that you would default an 18% on the total and provide no option for me to change the amount anywhere. I then patiently and quietly asked, as the atmosphere was already awkward with a friend who I had not met for a long time, the waitress to please do me a favor and split the bill into two, and add the 18% service charge on the dine-in bill. She then said very loudly in front of my friends and other table guests that she cannot make changes now since the bill was already generated and I did not tell her in advance. The conversation got awkward with my friends present, and I wanted to pay them a fair amount but not more, without more arguments. So I calculated and luckily I had the right amount of cash to put, which includes only ~10% tips instead. I showed her the cash that I put more than the food cost. I said in a low voice that I am trying to have a good time with friends, and asked that we leave so there is no more embarrassment in front of my friends please. Then it got more ridiculous. The server followed us as we were walking out, demanding that I pay her more tips as we were passing through other tables after tables. She said Grand Dynasty has a policy to charge 18% service fee, regardless of the party size. She said this policy of 18% tips is printed on the menu and on the table, and all guests should have seen them before dining here and said I must pay. I asked her to please leave me alone, saying I am not legally responsible for tips especially given how unpleasant this conversation had entirely ruined my meal. But she still kept walking with me and arguing with me while I was trying to walk faster to leave the restaurant. I finally walked out of the restaurant to the parking lot. Then she stopped one of my friends who was walking more slowly than me and talked to my friend now for quite a few minutes (felt like 15 mins) about the 18% tips being written on every menu that all guests have no excuse not to know about it. So it was an interesting dynamic: I was the one paying to take my friends out for a meal, and the waitress was now telling my friend about the tips *I* should be paying. My other friend did not understand Chinese. In the parking lot while we were waiting for the friend being stopped, this friend kept asking me "what is wrong, what is wrong, what is wrong", "is our friend ok", "do you think we should go check and get her out?" A pleasant get-together with friends got entirely ruined by the waitress. I asked my friend if she paid, she said no, but I am not sure if she did but said no to make me feel better, because the waitress seemed EXTREMELY determined to block us till we pay her more tips. All I have to say is, Wow, Grand Dynasty, you are an embarrassment! read more

Several of us gathered here for lunch and enjoyed some really yummy Chinese food. I especially loved the wide noodles with beef short ribs and the prawns too were delicious.

Also, a lovely bar with lots of flowers. read more
