First time here, always looking for new Chinese places. Door man was kinda rude at first, the place has a nice ambience. I ordered the lunch special (sesame chicken, fried rice, egg roll, and wonton soup) I was a little disappointed that I couldn't substitute my soup for another egg roll only because I'm not much of an Asian soup person YET.... oh and a hot Tea unfortunately they do not have honey :(. The soup was okay if you're into that kinda thing. The egg roll(pork) was very good, one of the best I've ever had, it was perfect really. And the main course of sesame chicken was really enjoyable! All the right flavour of what you would expect sesame chicken have was there! My tea was really good despite the lack of honey, I don't use honey for a sweet adjustment but more for its natural antibiotic properties. I WOULD eat here again! The bang for your buck on the lunch special is there! read more

China Dynasty - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Portions way too small for the price, be prepared to get 80% vegetables when you order the garlic chicken

Ok, so you know those nights when you've waited way too long to eat....you're starving....nothing in your kitchen sounds too bueno, but you don't really want to venture too far out of your neck of the woods?? Well, on such a night as this we found China Dynasty. It's in the strip mall with HEB (next to the liquor store and subway) at Slaughter and Manchac....and it's WONDERFUL!! They have these specials and for 9 or 10 bucks you get an appetizer of a few wings, your choice of soup, and an entree big enough (easily) for two people to eat. The night we ate there we ALL took home leftovers except for my boyfriend who was nursing some food poisoning from the day before. It seems to me to be a family-owned and operated establishment and our waitress was wonderful....very attentive, helpful, etc. Oh, ....most important part of all....EVERYTHING I tasted was delicious. We got staples like general tso's chicken and such, but you could tell it had been cooked when we ordered it and not just reheated. Anything with batter on it was light, crunchy perfection. I will definitely go back here when I'm feeling hungry for chinese! read more

I got the sesame chicken lunch special and honestly it wasn't that great. The fried rice was very plain with no kind of veggies and they didn't give me much actual chicken. Both the rice and chicken just had an odd flavor. The actual employees were very nice though. read more

China Dynasty - Sesame chicken - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Yesterday they left a flyer on my Do No Solicit door, but I understand that times are tough and I am very happy to report that they deliver to quite a large area in proximity to their location! Cool! Keep up the good work. It specifically says on flyer: No checks. Checks are already seeming to be a thing of the past, anyway :) read more

China Dynasty - Just the Front of the Menu but I tried! :) Lunches are no more than $6, dinners range $8-$12! - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

The only place for Chinese food in South Austin. The best Lo mein, Hot and Sour soup and Kung Pao chicken

Lovely family owned business, been going here for years. Can't go wrong if you're in the mood for American Chinese food in South Austin!

Generous quantity for the price. Got kung pao chicken and sesame chicken. Both were great!

Had this place for the 1st time yesterday and was very disappointed. I got beef & broccoli with fried rice, the rice was old, dry and hard. My portion on the beef and broccoli was small they did not fill it up like most Chinese restaurants I go to. I also ordered some crab Rangoon's and was also disappointed it was just a spoon full of cream cheese not pleasant at all. read more

Good food! Very sweet and saucy lemon chicken! The fried rice had a good flavor. The egg drop soup was a bit lacking ( i dont know what was a bit strange about it but i ate every last bite.) They weren't very busy but the place was clean and so were the restrooms as far as i could tell. Its a hole in the wall restaurant. If i come back to south austin and want chinese ill come here. read more

This was so good tonight! First time order. Everything about it was fresh, cooked and tasted just right. Fantastic! read more

China Dynasty - Shrimp & Walnuts w/Sweet Mayo Sauce - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

If your Asian. Do yourself a favor and don't come here. Never been treated so disrespectfully. Came in after being in hospital with surgery and just wanted to plain ass Chinese food. The hostess was super nice and gave me a booth even though I was by myself. I clearly ordered the orange chicken. Chicken w the sauce on the side. And then I saw for $2 you could add an egg roll and soup so I did that. Egg roll was cold. Disgusting. Soup was decent but how do you mess that up. Food came out and it was beef. I said this isn't what I want and the Asian lady looked at me dirty (like Asian lady to another Asian disrespectful hurt glare) so because I'm nice I said let me try and I'll eat it. Not sure if Asians spit in other Asians food but didn't want to risk it plus I'm starving. I instantly hated it. The waitress could see I hated it and asked if I wanted to order something else. At this point, I'm pissed and annoyed that I was basically Asian guilted into eating what I didn't want. I order chicken Loméin. And I asked her tot ale the food away (hoping come to clues and my face would give it away) instead she just gives me another RBF/Asian guilt and I just get up to leave and ask for check (not that I think I should pay at this point) but I asked the other lady at the counter that I don't want the lomein and I was disappointed in food. She opens the box and goes oh you don't want your pork Lomein. I almost lost my sh*t. I said NO again. Hoping maybe my slightly elevated voice but still courteous cus I'm trying to be Asian polite. She still charges me for the freaking orange beef I didn't eat. I will NEVER SUPPORT this place and if your Asian... just go somewhere else. Like McDonald's across the street or freaking Burger King. Ugh so annoyed I spent my first hospital trip out on a crappy feeing and crappier food. read more

Disappointed in the food lately. Egg rolls were cold and fried crisp's were over done and had no flavor. Entrees were salty. Maybe they have a new cook. read more

absolutely horrifies experience. picked up food earlier today 10 minutes after placing order.... it takes much longer than that to get food cooked. right? my oldest son had rice with egg drop soup and got sick so quickly, he vomited for 10-15 minutes a bout 30 minutes after having it. we called there and got callus service stating it's not their problem. also I was advised bt answering person to take my son toER and " the food might not be just right for your family" I'm a Medical Docto, active practicing and I'm being advised on care and " not right for for your family". DONOT GO THERE, PLEASE, for your own sake, sincerely Dr Svetlana Megley Hill, MD read more

So good. Such a great neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Had my first experience today! Quick, Convenient and TASTY!! Will definitely be back. read more

I am very disappointed with my meals , I ordered the kungpao chicken and it hardly had chicken also the taste was not spicy. My husband got the veggie lo mein and cream puffs and the taste was awful, the noodles tasted like they weren't fresh and the cream puffs were salty and full of garlic. I'll definitely not be returning. I'm very unhappy and don't understand how the restaurant has positive reviews. read more

Look...not life changing, but a great value for a decent meal. Love the Sesame chicken or beef....be sure to make it a "dinner"...for just $2 more, you get soup, an eggroll, and wonton For $11 bucks, that's a great deal for Chinese, since it's two meals...at least for this 220 lb man Owners are gracious, and remember their regular customers...there's a reason they've been there for 31 years read more

China Dynasty - Lotta food for $10.95..two full meals - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very disappointed! This place is tanking each time we eat here. Dynasty shrimp was awful...5 tiny shrimp and not flavorful at all! It use to be larger portions and a lot better! sad read more

Food is over priced and it tastes horrible. The fried rice is salty and not even worth eating. The Lemon Chicken is ALL crust. Honestly, where's the chicken!! The wonton soup was ok but I've had so much better. Overall, highly disappointed! Will never give them future business. Austinites, who has the best lemon chicken because it's definitely not China Dynasty. Instead of China Dynasty it should be China Nasty. Yes, that bad!! Save your money. They don't deserve the star but I couldn't post this review unless I selected it. read more

This is my second try at China Dynasty and my experience is just the same...disgusting! I ordered the General Tso's and the chicken was really dark and chewy. It was absolutely awful. I asked for shrimp fried rice instead of the regular fried rice. They advised they can not do it. I told them I know I need to pay extra. They said they still can't do it. This led me to ask if the fried rice was pre-made, and it is. If I'm paying $3.99 for a combination platter, I would expect the worst part of the chicken meat and pre-made rice. BUT $10 I would expect freshly made food and better quality meat. It was worse than Asian style mall food court meals. I'm from up North, and maybe I'm just used to how these dishes are made there. For all those who give it 5 stars, you simply have no idea what good chinese is lol. If you just moved to Austin, I would recommend Thai restaurants over this place. I'm still searching for a "good" chinese restaurant. read more

These guys have THE BEST curry chicken I've ever tasted. It might be my favorite food ever. I order it everywhere I go and it's never as good. read more

I got sesame chicken, cream cheese rangoons and the spicy dumplings delivered. The rangoons and sesame chicken are great and the sweet and sour sauce is very good and more complex tasting then the usual Chinese restaurant sweet and sour usually is. Not a huge fan of the spicy dumplings. They don't have much flavor to me. read more

Got takeout, general tso's chicken, ans garlic chicken. Food taste pretty bad. Nothin else to say.

I ordered tofu/ vegetable fried rice . The tofu and egg was undercooked and the food was very bland. Never going back I wanted my money back read more

China Dynasty - Double fourtune cookie! My lucky day. - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

We have lived in Austin for almost 2 years and have found it difficult to find a good place for Chinese food. This place is cozy and comfortable. Lunch was a great value for what you get. We ordered the wings as an appetizer and were very pleased. Chips (wonton strips) were fresh and cooked perfectly. I had sweet and sour chicken which was very good. The fried rice was not cooked with vegetables so it lacked a bit in flavor and didn't seem as hot as the entree. Egg rolls had a great flavor as well as the egg drop soup. My wife had the orange chicken, which wasn't on the menu, and it was great. All in all a great meal, little room for improvement. read more

I love the wings from China Dynasty. They are always consistent and good. However, I would not recommend ordering anything else unless you love sodium. Saturday night we ordered General Tso chicken and pork dumplings. I have never seen General Tso look like that before. Had a baby poop hue to it and the rice was under cooked. Dumplings were good but the soy sauce that comes with is Uber salty. Have us immediate heartburn. With all of that said, stick to the wings and you'll be good. read more

I ordered sweet sour chicken with fried rice and egg rolls. Egg rolls were bland and cardboardy Chicken over cooked, burnt, in what tasted like old oil. The rice was kind of mushy, no peas, carrots, or egg, just rice. I am use to pineapple, tomatoes or peppers, whatever, this had square chopped lettuce, 3 small peppers and 2 small goofy cut pieces of carrot. The best part was the sweet sour sauce. Very yummy. I imagine they have many yummy sauces that help get even an old sock down in your belly. It helped get those burnt chicken logs down. I actually think if the right person were in the kitchen, this place could be good. There's no love in this food. It's like hate. I won't eat there again. read more

Terrible place to eat especially lunch, they can't handle even small crowds. My wife and I went in for lunch it only took about five minutes to get seated, but never got drinks or anything else including menus. Two other couples came in after we did and we waited on right away. I complain to the waiter who replied " we're busy". We got up to walk out complaining all the way out while the owners son argued with us. I pointed in his direction and indicated that their service sucks, at which time he commanded that I stopped pointing in his restaurant. I told him I could do whatever I wanted to do, when he said let's go outside, and I obliged him. We yelled at each other at the front door for a couple minutes and he turned around and walked inside and I left. Terrible place to eat. I wish I didn't have to give any stars but I can't leave my review without tapping at least one. read more

I've been a patron of China Dynasty for 30 years. Never had a bad meal. Recommended. Atmosphere not great but food is fine. Recommended!!

Not very busy, yet we waited 15 minutes and no one took our order! The waitress seemed more pre-occupied with the take out orders than the customers inside. We left without eating! read more

Ah, good ole' China Dynasty. They have been my go-to chinese restaurant for probably 15 years. I've moved up to North Austin so I haven't eaten there in a while, but the quality of their food and wait staff was always top-notch. They have an extensive menu and I always really appreciated that they allowed me to make slight changes to a particular dish if I so desired. My go-to order, the Moo Goo Gai Pan, never lets me down, especially with extra chicken and sauce added. Also noteworthy, I have yet to find a restaurant with better egg rolls. They're so perfectly crispy and stuffed with the right amount of goodness. The restaurant doesn't have the nicest curb appeal but trust me on this, China Dynasty will not disappoint. Give it a shot! read more

Terrible food placed order for take out told us about a 30 min wait. Family said ok and waited till go pick up the food. The wait was actually over 1 hr long went home food had an ok taste and flavor food was lukewarm mind you i live literally 5 mins away. Boy did that food make us all pay wife 2 kids and mother in law are all sick with a nasty food bug thank god we have 3 bathrooms. I would not recommend this place at all stay away unless you want to spend your day puking your guts out read more

I've been going here for at least 10 years now and it has been consistently one of my favorite ever Chinese restaurants! The staff are friendly, and the prices are cheap. I almost always order the spicy shredded beef and it is ALWAYS delicious. I've never had a bad experience. The crab puffs are also very good, as well as the wonton soup. Actually, everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious. I live north now and don't get to come here often but when I do, it's a real treat! read more

Over priced lunch specials because they were such small portions, basically a ton of rice and little of the entree. General tso was over cooked and dry. The chicken chop suey tasted horrible.. fried rice is just rice with nothing else added to it. The pan fried dumplings were good.. read more

Delicious and fast. We order out her often and they are always consistent. Really good American Chinese you know and love

First time here and the food was delicious! The servings were very generous, and the flavor of the egg drop soup was superb! I'm a big fan of egg drop soup and I feel like it can make or break the restaurant. The waitress was very sweet and very fast! pleasant service, clean environment, Small restaurant but that lead to us having the place to ourselves! It's in a corner shopping strip behind a mechanic place and mainly overshadowed by HEB and its parking lot. The prices were very reasonable soo I can see this being my go-to Chinese restaurant! read more
