    Fried Rice, Sweet/Sour Pork, Maduros
    Shoshana C.

    What's not to love! Lunch on a Saturday afternoon - the service was friendly, the food delicious, and the restaurant was clean and inviting.

    This is my go to place in Washington Heights. Family owned for decades and their recipes haven't t changed much, and STILL it's amazing food for its price point. This Cuban/Chinese restaurant makes amazing Spanish dishes and the best boneless chicken crackling. Below is the grilled fish that is fresh and flavorful. Their red beans and frijoles with white rice is money and you need to try their ropa veija that's succulent and tender.

    La dinastia is a hybrid of 2 cuisines... latino & chinese. Whats not to love. I dined here a few years back & glad to have rediscovered it. Food is tasty, servings are large, good for sharing. Service is quick & our waiter is friendly. The restaurant in itself is small, not fancy at all, very down to earth & the patrons are mostly working class people around the neighborhood. I think this will be my new WAHI neighborhood lunch spot.

    3.5 stars! If you know me, Chino Latino is in my top 5 favorite cuisines. I grew up in Sunset Park and it was a childhood staple, the neighborhood had about 4 restaurants and all of them were great. They're all gone now so I've had to depend on New Apolo in Bushwick, which just doesn't compare. A relative is staying at the hospital nearby and when I went to get something to eat, I saw Dinastia was in walking distance. The first time I went I got ham egg foo young with egg fried rice, gravy on the side. It's definitely not a popular dish cause the lady who took my order kept asking if the food was for me, lol. "You like?" And I had to keep telling her yes, this is for me, I love egg foo young. That being said, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The gravy was flavorless, the egg patties themselves were definitely freshly made but missing a lot. Not enough onion, bean sprout, scallion... I had to add a bunch of stuff to make it okay. Second time, however, was much better. I got the fried chuleta combination with ham fried rice and a side of spicy garlic sauce. Which is the MOST IMPORTANT PART. Dont argue with me. This is how we did it in sunset. This dish was everyone's favorite and it would just come with garlic sauce, no need to pay extra. Now, I also had to pay extra for them to put egg in my fried rice. The reason why I say Sunsets chino Latino restaurants were top tier is because not only was the flavor on point, ALWAYS, they also never nickel and dimed you for things that should be a given. Chinese fried rice is made with egg. The guy at the counter had a whole conversation with me about new age Chinese restaurants being lazy and having "yellow" fried rice, how they're the real deal because they follow the original recipe. I just don't understand how you could say that and then charge your customers extra for something the recipe already calls for. The food was good and probably the closest tasting to my old spots but it cost me $22 and I just feel like that's very hefty. Think about it this way, chuletas at a Dominican/Puertorican spot with rice and beans is not costing you no damn $22. I would definitely go again because the cuisine is very much hard to come by. If you get this, make sure you get the garlic sauce on the side. It's how it should be done.

    This is a very unique restaurant with both typical Chinese take out and latino food. The lunch specials are not too pricy and they definitely come with a large amount of food. The proportions are huge. The food itself was nothing out of the ordinary. It was quite solid fried chicken, and the fried rice was slightly dry but did have a good amount of meat in it so I felt that I received my money's worth. Overall, the service is great! They are all bilingual, and it took under 10 minutes for my meal to be ready. I haven't tried any of the Chinese dishes, so I will have to comment on those later. The food is quite solid, nothing spectacular, but the portions are huge, so I felt that it matched the cost.

    The worst ribs ever.
    Yoselyn F.

    I stopped here after a massage and being hypnotized by the images of their food on the window. I ordered the spare ribs because they looked unbelievable and I had craved it for a while. They were horrible. The ribs tasted old, and reheated. They were also sauce-less. I was so disappointed by the dish that I dumped the entire thing after tasting one piece. The rice was fresh and tasted fine but these ribs were upsetting. In the past folks used to say how good this place was, it isn't the same. Price wise the value wasn't there. The portion and quality is the same as other Chinese restaurants in the area.

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

And indeed, there was a rope up separating it from the front dining room. There was a table of people sitting there, but I was told that was management having a meeting. I asked when the room might be opened because we were willing to wait. I was told that there was no way for them to know. The front room was already full, by the way, except for the table that we seated at. Within 10 minutes, the back room opened and people started to go in. When I asked about this, I was told that it was a private party. About a half hour later I got up to use the restroom and had a look in the back. They were people seated at tables all around the room. It was obvious that none of them knew each other. It wasn't a private party. I didn't bother to ask about this because at that point appetizers had arrived and it was too late to move to another table. I was very baffled by the staff's reluctance to seat us at a requested table, which would've been very easy to do. As a result, I don't think I'll be coming back to Chi or recommending it to friends. I wrote to them about the experience, hoping for a possible explanation. Over a week has gone by and I've gotten no response. I'm done with these folks.
