As soon as I opened the container, I was upset: instead of the flat, wide noodles that are traditional with this dish, it was filled with very thin, slippery noodles, There was virtually no sauce--and no spice! I immediately called TT and spoke to the same man I had given the order to. He was jovial, but clueless, and insisted that what I received was Pad Kee Mao. I don't think this place is under Thai management any longer; I suspect it's run by Chinese. It's a real shame, because the veggies (though few) seemed fresh, and the tofu (scarce!) was tasty . . . and we live only 5 minutes away. We will have to travel farther for authentic Thai food.

Menus since no one had one posted. Enjoy!

The tom kha was overly salty and the ginger lemonade was really sweet. Pad Thai and Khao soi were ok. Beef pho was terrible. Service was quick and good but the portion sizes were really small. Casual spot with reasonable prices. Definitely had much better Thai food but maybe this is typical for Thai food in this area? Note: The owner personally came out to apologize for the quality of the food and removed the disappointing items off of the bill, which I appreciate and was really kind of them.

I will always stick to this opinion of mine, but I believe that China Dynasty has the BEST crab rangoon's that I have ever had! I honestly haven't found a Chinese place that can out do this places rangoon's. My go to dish is their chicken lo mien. They have a really good taste and they're not dry. They come with veggies but I always ask for no veggies (my personal preference.) It's also served with an egg roll and rice. I would say something else that I really like from this place is the chicken and broccoli. The sauce they put on it is super good and gives the dish a good flavor. This dish also comes with an egg roll and some rice.
