Reviews for Dynasty in Toronto, ON
Other reviewers are complaining about prices, but what do you really expect in Yorkville?? If you don't care about ambiance,... freshness or service, then go eat in Chinatown. Asian Legend, for example, is pretty dumpy and crowded. Dynasty has a fabulouslocation, huge menu, attentive staff and downright delicious dishes! Faves include Peking duck, Chinese broccoli with garlic,steamed spare ribs in black bean sauce. I haven?t found anywhere else in downtown that can pull off these dishes. In RichmondHill maybe, but not downtown. Read more
I find it hard to comprehend 1 star reviews. That has to be a truly horrific experience. Yet several people have given this... restaurant that very rating. I wouldn't trust them. Not when other people have given 3+ stars. We ordered coconut curryprawns to go with Singapore Vermicelli noodles and a starter of BBQ items: beef ribs, duck and pork. Everything was quite goodand was bold enough with the spices to have some kick and heat. Staff were attentive and never rude. Clearly they make BBQpork/beef ribs and duck daily in order to offer this as a starter or source it daily from a Chinese BBQ place - either wayimpressive since it was fresh and who knows how often it is ordered. Rent alone and the long durability of this establishmentdictates they must be doing something right. I see people complaining about costs. Ya know what if you can't afford it, don'teat there. The prices are printed right on the menu, not a random surprise at the end of the meal. Cook and wait staff need tobe paid a living wage in Toronto, this ain't early 20th century Chinatown where you could exploit cheap labor. Read more
First and last time coming here. Premium prices for sub adequate quality, and a comically rude and inattentive staff. Anything... on Spadina is is a better bet than ?Dynasty?. Read more
Dim Sum was creative and tasty. Portions were adequate. Prices reflect the high rent neighbourhood. It?s better than... ordinary. Service was fine. They kept our water glasses full. Read more
Food is overpriced and low quality. The lobster only tasted fried sauce coated. Steamed fish was tasteless and not fresh at all.... Garlic pork ribs were over fried, but it?s the best out of the three dishes with meat. Price was over $200 for the four dishes,two desserts, and two bottle of sparkling water. Customer service is okay. The dining environment especially the glasses andutensils really need more cleaning. Read more
An excellent experience downtown - as close to uptown Dim.Sum as you can get, but with a bit of a steeper price tag. I suppose... that's expected in Yorkville. The XO Beef noodles are awesome - tender and chewy and rich in flavour. The pan fried dumplingswere just okay, but the service was top end. Read more
Not recommended! I never ever go there again! It was my first and last time to go there. Such a wasting money for Overpriced... food with very low quality! ???? Octopus was greasy and overcooked, dumplings were boring! Duck tongue was served cold and ittasted like chewing rubbers ! Waiters/ waitresses could barely speak English. They threw dishes on the table with No respect forcustomers ! Also, our next table found cockroach ???? on their table. Btw, they didn't check our vaccine certifications. Read more
Love the service and upscale decor here. We went for their dim sum, of which they have over 50 selections. As usual, the... welcome was gracious and the patio was a perfect choice on such a warm and sunny day. The food was well-prepared and tasty. Ashout-out for the octopus fingers. Lots of sauces available to pack in the flavour. Some of the dishes were not as unctuous aswhat we experience in Chinatown, however by the same token, not as greasy. Perhaps it's the fat that adds extra flavour? Agreat lunch spot if you're in Yorkville. Read more
