They serve Chinese dishes in a way that's pretty similar to how restaurants in China do, in terms of the presentation and dishes offered. Nothing special, though. Food was all good, but nothing was amazing or compared to some other restaurants in Cupertino or Milpitas. (except maybe the mango pudding at the end).Also, I happened to come on a day when someone reserved half the restaurant for their baby's first birthday, and their terrible (!!) karoake-skills basically ruined the atmosphere... sigh.

I think this place is okay. We came here for lunch during the weeday for dim sum. THe selection was just okay, the haw gow, buns, taro, steam rice. There was no duck, but they do have another menu you can order as well. We had the lobster noodles which is great. It was not much selection compared to what I am used too. I like the one near my end better in south San Jose. The food was good, but not the first place I go too.

Had a craving for dim sum and had heard of this place so decided to give it a try. We got there about 20 minutes after they opened on President's day and were immediately sat. The carts began lining up at our table and I was in Dim sum heaven! Within minutes our table was full of all sorts of delicacies. Everything was exceptional and I will definitely return.

I had given Dynasty three and four stars in my previous reviews but have reduced the rating to one because of their poor service.I have been to many Chinese restaurants so I know what to expect on a busy Sunday but our experience was over the top during the last visit. I didn't expect to be pampered or be smiled at. However, first off, yesterday the dim sum carts all went in the same direction when coming out the kitchen. At one point there were 6 or 7 carts jammed together around 3 or 4 tables at one end of the restaurant. Dynasty has been in business long enough to know (or should have known) how to do a better job controlling the flow of dim sum carts; that is, 1/2 of the carts should move clockwise and the other half in the opposed direction to provide equal coverage for customers in both ends of the dining hall. It goes without saying (or I wouldn't have complained) our end of the room was the last stop for those carts. In most cases, the dishes we wanted had been taken or the carts were just empty by the time the carts reached us, if they did at all.We talked to our waitress about not getting the carts in our area but she said "you wait, they will come". After waiting for a long time, I asked her to get the dishes from the carts stuck in the traffic jam. She told me to go to the carts myself. I asked her why she wouldn't do it. She said she was disallowed to do that and there was nothing she could do about the way how the carts traveled. Interestingly, I had had other servers at Dynasty getting food from the carts for me many time before. In fact, they preferred that customers stayed at their table so they wouldn't get into the cart pushers' way. And that makes very good sense for safety reasons. The same goes with other Chinese restaurants. I told the waitress her response was not acceptable and I asked to talk to her manager. She said the manager was too busy to get hold of and "poor me" (meaning her), there wasn't anything she could do. She wasn't rude but the message was loud and clear - "take it or leave it". At my insistence, she finally reluctantly went to the kitchen but came back saying that we had to wait for 20 minutes for our dishes. I got the vibe that she wanted us to become impatient so she picked a ridiculously long time to make us think it wasn't worth the trouble. And my hunch was later proved to be spot on. I told her 20 minutes would be fine as long as the dishes were delivered then. Luckily as I was stonewalled by this waitress, a manager walked by. I explained to the manager what I asked the waitress to do and my goal of finishing our meal so that they could seat other waiting customers. The manager understood clearly my point and took the waitress aside. After a brief conference between the two, miraculously within seconds the requested dishes were delivered to our table. It didn't take 20 minutes as the waitress had claimed. Other hungry tables nearby also got some long waited/desired special delivery items :-(Well, it was a "happy" ending but took a manager to make it happen. Overall the food was good. I will go back. Actually we have been to Dynasty at least once a month. If their food stays good and service improves I will rate Dynasty higher then. But not after yesterday's visit.

Warning!! Good dim sum but over priced and terrible service. If you go there for dinner, expect a delay to be served. Again, terrible rude service and poor management. They don't seem to care or provide any status on your order. We're done with no returns in the future.

When I came here, at first I was expecting this place to be like any other Chinese restaurant but I was so wrong. Their food is really good! Not only that Danasty is a pretty big restaurant designed w/ beautiful chandalers and colored light at the top ceiling. I would not mind coming back here when I visit!

4 stars for the food and 2 stars for the service.this place is huge! yet, if you're here for dim sum on any given weekend be prepared to wait! they actually have rows of seats outside the restaurant for people to sit while waiting.cantonese style chinese food. dim sum is good and the carts come by often. fav dim sum dishes include:-shrimp dumplings - the rice paper wrap is chewy and not too thick-sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf - stuffed with chinese sausage and mushrooms...yummy!-spare ribs in black bean sauce - savory and not too salty...a plus that the ribs are not too fatty.-siu mai - shrimp and pork dumping goodness-steamed taro cake - love that there's actual chunks of taro in there-chicken feet in black bean sauce - they actually cut up the chicken feet...awesome!-porridge with black egg and pork - warm bowl of porridge perfect on a cold day-mango pudding - topped with cream for that extra goodnessoverall: come here for the food not the service

I wanted to try somewhere new for Dim Sum and saw that this place was always packed on the weekends. I came a little earlier to avoid the crowds and we were able to walk right in and get seated.The food was very tasty and the carts came very quickly with lots of variety.Side note: There is a tea charge per person.

I went there a couple times for different celebrations like kids' birthday, Chinese New Year, etc. Every time I went, every time I felt being taken. The food wasn't bad, I just didn't feel I got what I paid for when I saw the bill at the end. There are definitely better places up elsewhere.

Good food good service. Really busy on Saturdays and Sundays around 12 so plan accordingly

My family and i have been coming here for years and it gets better and better as they have a special menu they change all the time. My new favorite soup is the Beef+ Cilantro egg drop soup. They also have a normal menu which is traditionally amazing. I recommend squab lettuce cups and Wor Won Ton soup as an appetizer. We ordered a fried egg noodle with veggies and chicken and it was to die for. You seriously just have to go there and have an open mind. This place has many different options to choose from. Remember dont knock it til you try it!!!

Dynasty understands good Chinese food. But not good portion sizes.We came to Dynasty for my wife's company's holiday party. For a company run by older Chinese people, they sure know how to party! The restaurant is huge - the banquet hall was past the main restaurant, and past a hallway filled with private rooms on both sides. The banquet hall easily accommodated some 300 people, had classy decor like crystal chandeliers, and had a reasonably-sized dance floor. I knew it would be a fun night when the MC announced that the boss would be dancing Gangnam Style later in the night.Here's what we had, and it was all quite tasty:Cold plate appetizer with seaweed and pork - the pork was nicely flavoredShark fin soup - flavorful meat and brothFried crab ball - yum, unfortunately we got shortchanged at 9 crab balls for 10 peopleSauteed shrimp and scallops with vegetables - the shrimp was flavorful, but the dish was otherwise not too memorableSauteed bok choy and mushrooms - goodLobster - tasty and all the pieces were sufficiently cracked, but the meat was a little flaky and hard to dig outPeking duck - mostly dark meat, tastyPork fried rice with mini shrimp - closer to sticky rice, very consistent flavor and deliciousRed bean soup (dessert) - just the right amount of sweetnessUnfortunately, the portion sizes were a bit small. Most of the tables, like ours, were fairly large and seated 10 people comfortably. So I expected the plates of food to be pretty large to match. But some of the dishes were only big enough for each person to get one modest helping. Both my wife and I left hungry, which for my case is understandable since I eat like a pig. But she eats more like a hamster, so the fact that she didn't get full was surprising.Boo Dynasty for making us like your food and then not giving us enough!

Don't come here for their regular food. It's over priced.But I do come here for weekend dim sum every once in awhile. It's always pretty packed on a Sunday afternoon. Prime dim sum time I must say. Usually the wait isn't too bad though. If you don't mind missing the carts, come around 2 & just order from the menu. they all come out to your table really fast. The carts add to the experience though I must admit.Prices range from $2.80-4.50 (guestimations...) per plate.Get ready for some chinese/canto hollerin' when tracking down a plate of dim sum on a cart.

I'm pretty sure the bad reviews were written by people who don't normally eat at Chinese restaurants. (Chinese servers are naturally rude, that's just how they are!)Best dim sum ever, all my family reunions are always held here because there is such a fantastic selection of small plates. Everything is always still steaming warm when it arrives at the table (not true of many dim sum places in the Bay Area). Also the regular entrees are pretty good-- I'm personally a fan of the lobster e-noodle. The dim sum and entrees are a little pricier than other Chinese restaurants, but I really think you get what you pay for here.It's a huge venue and I've been to engagement parties, birthday parties, etc. here and it seems pretty accomodating. They have separate seating halls as well as private rooms that are really soundproof (it's a huge Chinese restaurant so it can get pretty loud during the peak meal times).Wait times can be long, and I think they only take reservations for large parties. It's definitely worth the wait, but the space is absolutely ideal for events.

I couldn't have imagined better food. The food here is really good. The char siu bao is really crunchy and the inside of it is filled with char siu goodness -fatty pork, grilled nicely. The har gao is nice and crunchy. Fresh, really. The servers were really friendly and attentive. They all spoke fluent English and Cantonese. Fluent English for sure, I, for sure, started to believe that they were all native speakers in such a language. Tables were nicely apart from each other. Lots of personal space and just in general, courteous patrons and employees. Refined and classy. Truly an inspirational experience.My mistake, I believe I wrote this for another restaurant.

Went here for a wedding last weekend. Banquet style food when it's done right is quite delicious. I was not terribly pleased with the shark fin soup - it was too salty, but it did have lots of fancy things in it, including bamboo pith and lobster, which my dad would have loved.Otherwise, it was the usual banquet fare, except for the fish dish. I am not normally a fan of sea bass (in fact, I tend to stay far away from it) but like all things in life, (or perhaps just mine), there are always exceptions, and the smoked sea bass at Dynasty is one of them. Tender and flaky without being overly fatty, very flavorful (in the umami sense), and generous portions. If there is anything I enjoy more than good food, it's having someone prove me wrong about what suits my palate.

overprice, subpar chinese food. tiny portions. WORST SERVICE EVER.take your money elsewhere, this place deserves to be shut down.in fact, i recommend you try any of these chinese restaurants that are located nearby:Hong Fu, Joy Luck Palace, Fatima, Shanghai Garden.chinese restaurants are never known for their service, so i never expect much. this was, however, the worst dining experience i've ever had.- 6 dishes took over an hour to serve. complained to every waitress/waiter in sight, but no one did anything. sat there for 30 min with nothing on the table.- fried rice served last on a plate (although we requested it to be served first). waitress brings empty bowls (for the rice) 10 min later.- complained to manager about the terrible service. she did not give a crap. blames the computer system in the kitchen- we decide to pay up front, so we don't waste any more time. manager rushes out to follow us cause she thinks we're dining and dashing.

It really depends on when you go.I've been there more than 3 times by now. I've had both a good and bad experience there. When it's busy, maybe on weekends, the service is good and food are fresh. But if you go on a weekday, you'll see only maybe two carts being pushed around, you can't really sit there and wait till they ask you what you want, you pretty much have to get a waiter and order your food. But the food is good.This is the perfect place to eat at for elders gatherings! My grandparents love this place. It's great for people who love to chat while they eat and just taking their time.

I was here for a wedding reception so we were seated in the very back Main Hall part of the restaurant. Walking in from the front of the place you would have never guessed that it was so big. You walk through the front dining hall and into this long hallway that segways you into this humongous round shaped dining hall. It's all very elegantly decorated and had fancy lighting.I'm not sure how much of the decorations belonged to the restaurant and how much was from the wedding party but whatever they did, it came out fantastic!The food was also very tasty! For such a large party of over 400 people, they didn't skimp on their quality just because they had to produce food a large quantity. All the servers were very efficient and pretty friendly. It was a very nice venue for a large wedding!

A decent dim sum spot. Not the greatest and not the worst I've had. Decor was nice and the space is pretty big. I don't think I would come out of my way to come here and I dont think I would be opposed to if someone suggested it.We came on a Tuesday afternoon around 1pm for late lunch and were immediately seated. The servers there were very friendly and took good care of us. The food itself was decent but not anything special. I do have to say their beef chow fun was pretty tasty though.For our party of 3 adults our final bill came out to be about $66. Kinda high in my opinion but we did order a lot of food.Overall A-OK.Oh yeah, the parking structures at Valco mall is confusing!
