Do not over look this spot! Such good fresh simple food. Have been looking for a good place in DC for basic Chinese and we found it. Order at the counter and take a seat. They will make sure you have everything you need. The Hot and Sour Soup was so good and came with fresh crunchy noddles- which are impossible to find in my town. The fried rice was delicious and not greasy at all. The Shrimp dish my husband got was also super good also with the side of plain Lo Mein that was so tasty real Lo Mein noddles. Service was fast and employees were so nice. We were there on the day of a big soccer game so it was fun everyone was cheering and watching the game on the big TV. Even though know nothing about soccer, it did seem to bring us all together. Tons of take out food was being run out of there so you know the locals love it. Kudos New Dynasty. Thanks for a great meal. See ya next time we are back in DC read more

New Dynasty - Goodness - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Okay - 4 months have passed since my last review of New Dynasty so it's time for an update. The hot & sour soup is still the best I have ever had anywhere in the world. The egg rolls are crispy but not too oily - and they're delicious on top of that! I also had some beef and broccoli and it was super good too. The flavor was savory, strong and pure. The broccoli was crispy, the beef was moist. No thickening flavor like flour or corn starch was evident in its tasty sauce. It wasn't even too salty. Go figure! So, it's surprising that a place that looks so old and dirty can churn out such great tasting food BUT NEW DYNASTY DOES!!! I have to admit that the people at the ordering counter are pretty darn friendly too. Please do not avoid New Dynasty because of the way the outside looks. As your mama told you time and again, it is what's inside that counts. And inside New Dynasty, the food is really, really good! read more

I ordered vegetable egg rolls and other foods. They sent me shrimp egg rolls. When I called the manager he said sometimes it happens no apologies at all and I could literally die from seafood allergy. Not a good business response. read more

Yes, this place looks like a dump! But I have consistently had over the last 3 to 4 months the best Singapore noodles I've ever had! I now switched to the shrimp only. Be careful to watch your step going down! read more

I only got takeout, but it will be the ONLY place I get takeout from for my sesame chicken, egg rolls, and lo mein from now. You can request all white meat chicken (with a small upcharge) which my mom and I appreciate. But everything was exactly what I am looking for in a chinese-american spot. Again, cant speak to the physical building but they were efficient and made all needed/requested modifications. Order it!! read more

This little diamond in the rough is gem to the city of Washington, DC if you have not tried it you are missing out. Their General Tao Chicken is chef's kiss to perfection. I had the steamed green beans and they were cooked just like I like them steam with a snap but not over cooked. Their plain fried rice was flavorful and robust with carrots and green onions and peas. It's a small but quaint place to dine for a special date. The best Chinese take out I've ever had. The service was friendly and quick. Definitely will be back to diamond. Check them out DC you are missing out not to try this place... I will be back on my next visit. Chinese Cuisine at its best!!! read more

New Dynasty is a great Chinese food spot on P St (Dupont). Since 1992, they've offered authentic and delicious food. I'm always looking for quick spots to grab food, and really enjoyed their veggie lo mein. The service was great, and the manager was very kind. A cute place to come on a date or with friends. read more

Such a great fast food Chinese spot. It's a small location super casual just a great location to get some Chinese food to go. They do have indoor seating if you'd like to eat there. Various menu options it was hard to choose what we wanted for dinner. Everything on the menu sounded delicious but we went with the more popular basic options since you can't go wrong with lomein and fried rice. We used our student discounts and received complimentary won ton soups, bring your student ID and they will give you the option of a free soup or soda. Complimentary white rice also came with our order. The workers were so nice here and there recommendations did not disappoint. Every dish here was full of flavor and of good quality. Tip: If you enjoy spicy ask for their chili oil sauce it has a great kick! read more

Great attention to detail. The steamed dumplings come 8 to an order and had wonderful hints of garlic and ginger with carrots and cabbage with a soy sauce and scallion sauce, the spring rolls were perfectly crispy and the hot mustard packets were high quality- delicious. The peanuts in the kung pao chicken were roasted well and had great crunch. Also enjoyed Shrimp Lo mein, Combo fried Rice, Szechuan chicken and Szechuan beef. Nice to know they deliver fast. read more

Ever since moving to San Diego I've really missed east coast American Chinese food (it's just a style we don't really have there), so of course it was one of the first things I looked up on Yelp when I was in town for a visit. I got General Tso's chicken, lo mein, and cheese wontons. The chicken and the lo mein were exactly what I was looking for; the "American Chinese takeout" flavors were perfect and really hit the spot! The cheese wontons had mozzarella inside instead of the cream cheese I was expecting; the mozz wasn't bad but I prefer cream cheese filling and the dough was also a little tough. All in all though, my meal was super satisfying and nostalgic. The man working the front of the house was busting his tail (the place was full of diners and there was a constant stream of takeout/delivery orders), but he was still very friendly and kind. If I'm ever back in town, I would definitely eat here again! read more

Ordered my food at 12:08pm, food was done at 12:11pm. First red flag but didn't notice it until I got to the corner and thought about it. I got back to work and started to eat and the food taste bland and old. Shrimp was very chewy and the sauce had no flavor even though I asked for it to be spicy. Even the fried rice was bland and clumpy. Maybe it was left over from yesterday. But will not be going back there. read more

It's overpriced, and the food is greasy and not good at all. I recommend going somewhere else because you will be disappointed.

Best orange chicken and spring rolls! Was staying in DC for convention. I came back to my home local Chinese restaurant so disappointed. Not like New Dynasty- I'll have to make the 1-1/2 drive for good Chinese food. read more

New Dynasty is a hybrid Halal Chinese/pan-Asian restaurant in the heart of DC right off of DuPont circle. The restaurant is small and cozy, with classic Asian dishes and combos made up of shrimp, chicken, beef or vegetables with rice or lo mein noodles. They also have a variety of special dishes available to order! I tried the chicken lo mein and an order of general tso's chicken. The chicken lo mein was wonderful! The noodles were deliciously elastic, the chicken was tender, the vegetable mix was well-seasoned and everything was generally very good. The tso chicken sauce was nice too! read more

Doesn't seem fresh at all, and for the price you would definitely expect more. I will not he ordering here again

Great takeout. Solid American Chinese food, better than PF Chang's or Panda Express. And good pricing. Pick up was easy and short wait time between order placement and pick up read more

Great food, good service. Was recommend here by a friend and glad I came in. Thank you Alex!

Very fresh, hot, and good. Generous portions with reasonable prices. Good Customer Service. A bit tiny seating area, but well worth the wait! read more

Not a homerun. The menu was a bit limited, the seating was folding tables and chairs. The king pao chicken was fine, didn't expect it to be served in plastic takeout trays. It was basically non-chain Panda Express... fine... but not really more than fine. read more

If you like Chinese takeout, Dupont Circle's new Dynasty does a good job. When my family of three did a staycation at a nearby hotel, we ordered pick up via Uber Eats and it was ready within 15 minutes of ordering on a Friday evening. To feed the three of us, we ordered wonton soup, Mongolian Beef, General Tsao's Chicken and Orange Chicken. The three main dishes came with steamed rice. Each was tasty, but the winner was the General Tsao's Chicken. The Mongolian Beef was good, but it was mainly onions with little beef. Service was friendly and prices decent for an expensive city like Washington, D.C. read more

The shrimp fried rice was really good, but the chicken pad Thai was just okay. Would eat here again to try other items. Seemed busy which is always a good sign! read more

I used to be a regular at New Dynasty whenever I needed my American Chinese food fix (blame a suburban childhood lol), but in recent years they have raised their prices and, unless I'm imagining it, reduced their portion size. While I don't blame them necessarily, as this may be a response to higher operating costs, this turned me off and drove me to seek out other options. The food is totally fine and the atmosphere is as you would expect for a hole in the wall place, but I have personally turned to other venues. read more

Ordered takeout from this restaurant and it is pretty affordable. It was my first time trying true blue Americanized Chinese food and I was genuinely surprised to see a Chinese family whipping up such dishes. These are comfort food and although they differ vastly from the authentic Asian food I ate whilst growing up, it is still a good introduction to Chinese American food, and an apt choice for those looking for affordable, casual, and no frills dining in the area. read more

We got takeout from here to bring into the board room. We wouldn't recommend dining in as the seating was very sparse. We got dumplings and fried rice, which were both about average quality for Chinese takeout. Tasty enough but nothing special.

Chicken and Beans, Mongolian Beef are very good. I Forgot to take photos. Came out steaming hot. Service was welcoming and attentive. Will recommend when you're in DC read more

I ordered the mixed fried rice and also got chicken corn soup for free after checking in with Yelp. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the food was ready. The cashier was super nice and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and cozy. The mixed fried rice was amazing and filling, with a generous portion of chicken, beef, and shrimp. The chicken corn soup was not so good though. It was free so I can't complain. I would recommend skipping the chicken and corn soup and trying the hot and sour soup. Overall, I had a good experience at New Dynasty and I would go back again. 4 stars, but would probably be five were it not for the soup. read more

We were at DuPont for the holiday market and was looking for somewhere quick to eat and stopped here. It's a hole in the wall, but the food was good, lunch portion was huge, and service was great. It's also super smart that they serve everything in to go containers. read more

New Dynasty - Chicken Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'm so sad at how bad New Dynasty has gotten. This was my go to Chinese place when I first moved to DC. Ordered the general tso chicken which was nothing special. I got orange chicken which was decent, but surprisingly lacking in flavor. I got it with a side of Lo mein ($2 extra) and that was arguably the worst lo mein I've ever had. Completely devoid of any flavor other than grease. We ordered two orders of crab rangoons since I live crab rangoons, and they were terrible. The outer part was over cooked and you could barely bite into them. The filling had also clearly spilled out from over frying as their was no cream cheese inside whatsoever. The veggie spring roll was the only good thing that I ate on a $75 purchase. We won't be back. read more

Omg! I used to love this place, I'd travel near and far (35 miles in Maryland) to get here... but today... It's been months since I've dined here, and today is the day (that I find a new spot)! The ambiance and friendly service is still great, but the food...not so much (sadly). My signature spicy shrimp fried rice was terrible! First of all, the rice was hard! Secondly, there were no bean sprouts or green onions in the rice. Thankfully, they re-cooked the rice to add the onions, but said they didn't have any bean sprouts...what!!!??? Fried rice with no bran sprouts!? It's a sad day in Chinese food takeout! Anyway, the rice was bland and lacking any favorable. Just like my thoughts are lacking any desire to rerurn. Goodbye New China, it's been a good run...15 years of delicious memories. read more

I ordered chicken eggplant. It was deliciously seasoned and better than I expected for a take out place. You order at the counter and pay and get your own water cup. I chose to eat in so it is fresh out of a hot wok. The food was delivered to the table by a friendly lady. It looks like this is a mama and papa shop. I recommend this place and will be back again. By the way, I was a customer here 20 years ago. I moved away for awhile. Now I am back and work nearby. I think the flavors have been improved. read more

Really good Chinese place for DC. DC doesn't have a lot of great options for Chinese takeout. This is definitely one of the better ones. I ordered the Hong Kong noodles with shrimp. Good flavor, consistent texture and taste. I ordered steamed rice on the side, and I was surprised that it was cooked fresh. (Other Chinese takeout places will usually deliver dry or overcooked rice). Steamed side vegetables are also great, broccoli was cooked well. (I would find in most other Chinese takeout places undercooked broccoli). One thing I didn't like, , the crispy eggroll. I didn't really appreciate the flavor (kinda bitter), and I thought the cabbage was undercooked. $15.95 just for the noodle dish, expensive given the quality. read more

Ate there for the first time last night! Everything was really good. It was fresh and came out hot! The man that rung us up was a sweetheart! I'm definitely going again! I've got to try the Hong Kong Soup and the lo mein soup!! read more

Inedible. Ordered two simple dishes: chicken & broccoli and white meat orange chicken. The chicken within the chicken & broccoli was rubbery and dry. The white meat orange chicken was dark meat. Wound up throwing out the meal and just having the steamed white rice for dinner. I don't recommend eating here read more

I love DC, but I'm always saddened by how hard it is to find good sesame tofu here (tho someone please correct me if I'm missing any great spots!). That crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, abundantly sauced and sprinkled with sesame seeds, tofu. New dynasty has it. It's not the best that I've ever had, granted, but it is solidly good. I love that you can exchange the side of white rice for a small fee, and there are so many different options (veg fried rice is excellent here, worth the $2.50 upcharge). Not only is the food good, but the workers are kind and patient, and very helpful with deciding what to order. The flavor profiles might not match, but I enjoy this place so much that I'll grab an order of sesame tofu even right after getting nachos at the nearby mission. Looking forward to trying more of their vegetarian options! read more

Ok food, fast and hot. I've had worse and I've had better. Wanted some Chinese food and they delivered.

I ordered Uber eats for my hotel stay. I had a taste for some really good Chinese food and decided upon New Dynasty. I ordered the combination fried rice with spring rolls. EVERYTHING was fresh and delicious. The rice was well seasoned and just so tasty. The spring rolls were fresh and crunchy. The serving was plentiful and satisfying. I would definitely recommend. Apologies for not having any photos to show. I was so hungry, I didn't even take a picture! Lol... The one (minor) negative was that you have to request for plastic ware. I didn't realize this until it was too late and had to flag down someone in my hotel for a fork. It's a minor inconvenience, but I thought I should mention it. Other than that, if i happen to be in the same area again, I would order from New Dynasty. read more

I usually bring my lunch from home, but this has been my go-to takeout place for many years. Reasonably priced and ultra-fast. Glad to see them still in business for all this time. I was reminded of their fine qualities when they called me to apologize for having overcharged my credit card (they charged the order from the wrong "Paul." They offered various ways to make it good, when it was really my own fault for not having read the charge slip carefully! read more
