Came to Dynasty Garden after doing a quick "dim sum" search in Modesto. I had been craving dim sum…read morefor some time and since we were in town, I figured why not try somewhere new to me? Walking in on a Saturday afternoon (it was almost 3PM when we entered), you're met with a check-in counter. The inside is decorated much like a typical Chinese restaurant: round tables w a lazy susan, dark moody carpet, and infrastructure/roof tiling on the back wall that makes it look like we're dining right outside a traditional cafe in China. We were quickly seated and brought a regular menu and a dim sum menu. I liked that the dim sum menu contained pictures for easy point and order. But instead of pointing like a normal person, I brought out my broken Canto to order and I think I impressed uncle enough to get a complimentary bowl of egg flower soup lol. We ended up ordering: - Orange chicken lunch special: this comes with white rice or you can upgrade to fried rice or chow mein for an extra dollar. SO upgraded to chow mein and the plate that came out was HUGE. Was not expecting such a large portion, but I am not complaining at all. The chicken was sauced perfectly and he said the noodles were aight. - Ha gow (shrimp dumpling): these had thicker wrapping, but the dumplings themselves were stuffed. Good flavor - Shu mai (pork and shrimp dumpling): meaty, yummy. The skins sorta stuck to the bottom container though - Fong zhao (chicken feet): super delicious, but only came with 3 measly claws - Ham sui gok (fried glutinous rice pork dumpling): fried mochi goodness with delicious meat filling (even if the filling was a little sparse) - Gou choy gow (chive dumpling): my personal favorite dim sum dish; the one here was not my favorite, but it did its job. - Salt and pepper pork spareribs: we ordered this as an alternative when they told me they were out of their pineapple custard bun (bolo bao)... don't ask me how I went from dessert to this, but I liked it. The meat was kinda thin, but the flavor was there. We happened to have our meal right when the staff was having theirs right behind us. So by the time we were ready for the check, we kind of sat around waiting for someone to check on us. Our total came to about $60. I noticed that 2 of the dim sum dishes were marked as "large", at about $6.10 per dish. I wish this was posted on the dim sum menu somewhere... I only saw the $5.50 price tag. Overall, Dynasty Garden nostalgically reminds me of home, so I would definitely return.

I ordered chow mein with BBQ pork, sweet & sour chicken, and tempura shrimp. The chow mein had a good balance of noodles, cabbage, and pork, with a clean savory flavor that wasn't overly oily. The BBQ pork added a slight sweetness that paired well with the noodles. The sweet & sour chicken had a nice crisp exterior with a sauce that wasn't overwhelming or overly sugary. It held its texture instead of turning soggy, which I appreciated. The tempura shrimp had a light batter and a fresh taste adding good contrast to the plate. Is it the best Chinese food I've ever had? No. But it's definitely above average, satisfying, and worth coming back to. Solid portions, authentic flavor I'd return.

My wife, who is half Chinese, whose parents hailed from China, having left during the Cultural Revolution, maintained a home mixed with traditional Chinese meals and Western ones. She is my reliable gauge of what is good in Asian fare. We ordered two ice teas and a sampler appetizer. The teas were nicely large and refreshingly cool. The sampler was good; she pronounced the egg rolls very good. The pork was a bit tough for both of us. She said, "Noah's downtown is better." True that, without a knife to cut the pieces, the pork was a bit difficult to manage. She liked the shrimp very much. The tinfoil chicken was especially good, we both agreed, large portions to be sure. We ordered two mains and fried rice. I found the curry shrimp very good and the chicken and veggies nicely spiced. The staff was pleasant and attentive and kept our ice teas filled. A definite 4 out of 5, a future visit may well raise this.

What I don't like is their garlic chicken, should be called, spicy garlic, chicken skin! There is rarely any pieces of chicken when I order this. I rarely order it because it has no chicken. I don't know why they call it garlic chicken. It's a deep fried chicken, skin and fat. Somebody should talk to the owner about this and start adding chicken to this dish. I like everything else at the restaurant the atmosphere and the cleanliness.But sometimes trying to go cheap on a chicken plate by not putting the chicken doesn't make any sense to me. I would recommend a lot of dishes, except anything with garlic chicken in it.

Their customer service is exceptional and they are very friendly. The menu items are within my budget... Comparable to other Chinese restaurants.

The waitress is an elderly lady and not there for chit chat but that's ok. So food wise, it's not the worst I've had but it's not the best either. I feel like it's lacking a sauce/seasoning and by no means am I an expert in Chinese food but I eat my fair share. You do get an abundant amount of food. Would I try it again? Yeah. I'm looking for a decent local spot since my go to changed owners and went downhill.

I ordered the honey walnut shrimp combination but asked for all chow mein since I'm not a big fan of fried rice for $16.31 with card after taxes. I believe there's a 2-3% additional charge if you use card, but I could be remembering incorrectly. Definitely call and ask or bring cash! The shrimp was fantastic. It had the right amount of batter, wasn't overcooked whatsoever and the shrimp was nice and bouncy. The sauce wasn't overly sweet or artificial tasting either! The chow mein was okay. Noodles slightly overcooked and on the verge of being mushy and as I continued eating it got extremely salty so I had to stop. Unfortunately will not be getting it again! A ton of these reviews are saying they pack the food here.. pack where? There is way too much space in the box. Food is decent but there are other spots to try, and at $16.31 I'll just take myself to Panda Express honestly!

So this review was for a pick up order at Noah's Hof brau and for their well known Chinese food…read more For years, I've heard people mention Noah's which serves sandwiches besides their Chinese food. So I ordered the #26 Mongolian beef combination that has fried rice and chow mein. The fried rice and chow mein is already premade and behind the glass counter. The chow mein had a little pork with their noodles. Lucky for me, the Mongolian beef was cooked to order and just took about 6 mins wait. To me, this is what I consider the ideal Mongolian beef. Thin beef slices that is brown in appearance with a nice glaze. It comes with tons of green onions, chili peppers and onions and topped with crispy rice noodles. Theres a nice "hot" as in flavor taste to it but not strong. It's my favorite and I feel this beats Panda Express any day. 5 stars The place probably is busier during lunch being downtown so when i picked up my order, it was close to 5 pm and wasn't that busy. Thing that I notice is their menu on the wall says $12.50 for my #26 Mongolian beef combo and when I ordered 2, the guy just used his memory to punch in $28.85 on my credit card. So sales tax is 8.88% now and when I did the calculation, it should have been less. Not sure whether they didn't update their wall menu price. But that kind of irked me since I know some places charge an added fee for using a cc (which they have no disclosure). Either way, don't rely on their wall prices if you order there in person. Door dash has this priced at $15 for pick up but i ordered it at the counter when I got there. Still, one of the better Chinese food in Modesto
