Exceptional food, great service with a unique experience you can only get in Boston's China Chinatown. Dynasty is iconic. Known for a stem sum, we certainly enjoyed the dim sum offerings as well as traditional dishes . We've been there several times. This night, we had a table of 10 including a visit visitor from Germany for the World Cup. Unfortunately, I was so excited about the food. I missed several photos. It is all about the food. You can get some less common dishes. Two of my young adult children had friends who were eager to try the scallion, pancake crab Rangoon they had learned about on social media - it lived up to its reputation albeit a little messy! Dumplings of different varieties were amazing. Salt & pepper calamari was fresh, tender and a big hit! The generous portion of Chinese broccoli with garlic was amazing. The beef filet with pepper was one of the most popular dishes at the table and went quickly - the beef was tender with the right amount of spice. Every single dish was fully consumed. Most of all, it was a great value. Had I gone to the north end or anywhere else in Boston? It would've been 30 to 40% more expensive. We got great quality, food and service and an experience in the process. We didn't stray far except for Jelly fish appetizer that was crunchy with cucumber and a vinegar sauce that was tasty. The service is consistently attentive. As soon as you are seated, we had hot tea and drink orders. As food arrived, the table was always cleared. Nice to have this energy. read more

When I was planning this trip to Boston with my daughter, eating dim sum in a major city is a must! We eat dim sum at every new city we hit up. Our mother/daughter tradition. So after looking up local Chinese joints to eat at, Dynasty popped up. They also offer street parking so that is what sold me on this joint. Considering Boston's Chinatown looks pretty run down, you should never judge a book by it's cover. Walking in, this joint is really bright and clean. The young man working the register greeted us and got my daughter and I a table. The big list of food items was dropped off and we were ready to get the party started! We ordered a handful of things! It's been a while since we have had dim sum so we were ready to put in work. Our food was starting to slowly trickle out. We started off with the congee. It came out pretty fast since it was probably made earlier waiting to be served. Shortly after the rest of our dumplings were making their way to our table. The congee was simple, savory and comforting. It tasted like my childhood. The fried shrimp rolls were tasty, crispy and savory. I have had similar fried shrimp dumplings like this served with a sauce similar to walnut shrimp. That sauce would have been killer with these rolls. The long rice noodles were silky and filled with char sui. The sauce was more vinegar than sweet which is how I have normally had it. Still good! Har gaw and shu mai were fabulous once they dropped off soy and chili oil to dip them in. The turnip cake will always be one of my favorites. My daughter enjoyed the soup dumplings and the rice in lotus leaf. I was too full to try them. Customer service was ok. They got you what you needed but not a lot of exchange in conversation. I feel like most dim sum experiences are like that. The food was so good! I enjoyed every bit of it with my daughter. Parking might be free but very limited and challenging to find. I'm still happy we got to check this joint out and have a great meal here! read more

I came here on an early Saturday morning and got the dim sum. They did not have a cart here unfortunately, you order off the menu and they bring it out. I got many dishes and they were all delicious! Loved the soup dumplings and noodle dishes. Staff were quick with cleaning finished plates. I got 8 dishes for two people and it was about perfect with some to spare. It was about $70 dollar. Overall I was happy with the food here! Food(50%): 8.6 Staff/service(25%): 8.5 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 8.0/10 read more

Found this place thanks to Yelp reviews. It's right in the heart of Chinatown and was fantastic. My wife and I enjoyed two different dishes and both were great. I had Har Gow and she had Xiao Long Bow. There was quite a delay in getting our Xiao, but without any prompting from us, the restaurant brought us out what I think was coconut pudding blocks and something else as a nice gesture. Great service, great atmosphere and wonderful food. read more

Got here right at opening in a Saturday and was seated immediately. I love that everything is made to order. Each dish was FRESH! It started filling up around 10AM with families and friends. Coming from a bao lover you MUST get the pineapple roast pork and custard buns. Everything about them was perfect. Fresh out of the oven, with the perfect amount of sweet crust on the top. This is how I'll remember Boston. read more

First meal in Boston Chinatown was dim sum. The portions are large and the flavors are decent. Bland would be how we would describe it. We tried the "go to" items that included: Shrimp Dumpling Pork and shrimp Shao Mai Ribs with taro Xiao Long Bao Steamed Bbq Pork Bun Overall, it was decent and good enough for a meal.

My friend found this place from a viral item they are serving--scallion pancake crab rangoon. They were not on the menu so we were worried we were at the wrong place but they assured they had it. They were super good--gooey and cheesey and still like a crab rangoon. I would come back for these. Someone next to us also ordered them. Now I did still want to try their traditional dishes so we split Xaio Long Baos which were really good soup dumplings. They were fresh and tasty. I also got a general gau chicken which I know is more Americanized Chinese food but got it since it was offered as a plate with rice. It was tasty, a little spicy and a large portion--I had leftovers. I would like to come back to try more of their authentic dishes as the food was of high quality and it was busy inside so that's a good sign! What we ordered: Scallion Pancake & Crab Rangoon T15 Xiao Long Bao Z16 general Gaus Chicken read more

The food was alright. We had the Xiao long bao, the turnip cakes, cha shu buns, poached vegetables, and the chicken feet. It honestly tastes like the other Chinese food in the area. The flavors were there but nothing really stood out about it. Quality was meh. The service is what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. Seemed like your typical run of the mill Chinese dim sum restaurant. 7 - food was okay. Service wasn't bad. Nothing stood out read more

Dynasty was my first dim sum experience 20 years ago and it was great to bring my kids and show them the restaurant that made me seek it out every time we are traveling (there isn't any where we live). The shrimp steamed dumplings are the largest I've ever seen with huge chunks of shrimp. Baked BBQ pork buns are amazing and the fried turnip cakes are a great balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. Restaurant is decorated beautifully and on the smaller side of the other dim sum restaurants which I like. read more

Solid dim sum spot in Boston Chinatown. You order off a menu and the food arrives piping hot. The dried shrimp Cheung fun and braised beef brisket on sizzling plate were particularly flavorful. Pig ears were crisp and had the right amount of spice. Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were juicier than you'd expect of a Cantonese restaurant. Would have been nice if there was shredded fresh ginger in the black vinegar dipping sauce. read more

Sit down restaurant where it's a minimum 10$ per person, but after informing the waiter we just wanted the crab Rangoon he suggested just placing an order to go. 16$ for four Rangoons but oh my gawd. It was cheesy & crispy, and definitely explodes in your mouth. It spills out the sides so careful when eating, but it was so delicious. The location was nice but service was very dry. read more

Wanted to try a new dim sum spot in the area, and I'm glad I did! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We happened to visit during the World Cup Final, so it was a great experience enjoying an exciting match while sharing amazing food in a lively atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

This restaurant has a lot of positives! The food is well seasoned and delicious! We started with hot and sour soup for two high was served in a huge bowl that would have worked for more than the two of us. It had a nice peppery tang that I would definitely recommend. The kimchi was fresh which I really enjoyed. My shrimp and chive dumplings were heavy on the chives. The overall flavor was good but if you don't love chives I wouldn't recommend them. The service and serving sizes were also quite good. The interior was clean. The hot tea was loose leaf and fantastic. Overall I would highly recommended this place read more

I have been sleeping on this place! My new favorite dim sum spot in Chinatown. It's casual, located in Chinatown, with shared tables. They take credit card. My favorite item was the Shrimp Noodle Roll which was truly the best version of this dish I've had--I could just eat this and be happy! They put the biggest shrimp in and really fill it up, and also have a really yummy sauce. The shrimp and chive dumplings are also yummy. The shrimp and fish roe dish was also good and filled with shrimp but not as flavorful. The congee was also a sleeper hit! We got a plain version since I don't eat pork and it was sooo flavorful. I'm not a huge congee person but this was great! Additionally, my friend with a nut/peanut allergy was able to eat safely here! We've come multiple times and the staff has always taken the allergy seriously and helped us talk to the kitchen. read more

I wasn't super impressed during my latest visit to Dynasty... I had dined here once before ~2 years ago for a special event and really enjoyed my experience so the expectations were maybe too high. First of all, the arrangement they had for queueing for tables was a bit confusing and unclear. We were given a slip of a paper with a number on it, which the hostess eventually called out after about 10 minutes. I wish they had a more seamless system for handling this (in an app or taking phone numbers instead). We ordered lots of dishes to share.. pineapple buns with roast pork, the viral crab rangoon scallion pancake, soup dumplings, rice rolls with ribs, etc. The standout for me was definitely the crab rangoon scallion pancakes. I 100% get the hype! It's ooey and gooey and perfect for any crab rangoon lover. I was however pretty disappointed in the pineapple buns (one of my favorite dishes) and soup dumplings, which honestly just tasted like they were frozen and reheated from the grocery store. The service was also very absent and it took awhile for us to wave someone down so we could pay our bill. Not sure if we visited on an off day or something, but I wasn't very impressed. read more

First time last weekend I took my elder parents, husband and little one to try. I stopped by on the way to check on the restaurant really quick as I am not so familiar with its location. Pretty busy when I came in and was told all of their 11 tables are full. I was pretty disappointed as I want something new for my family to try when I was visiting Boston. Luckily, very last min, the young man at the counter able to get us in ( thank you so much, my family were so happy!). Food are delicious, same quality as other Dim Sum place I usually eat. Restaurant looks new & clean, staffs speak English pretty well. Chicken fried rice is yummy, huge portion. We all shared that plate. I definitely will be back when i will take my other son to Boston again. Total is around $51 for a huge chicken fried rice plate & 4 dim sum plates, awesome price! read more

Today I had dim sum with my mom and we were seated to a table that had a/c blasting at us. We asked to change the table but the waiter said we can't. There was an empty table next to us and they said it is a bigger table to accommodate 4 people. 2 people were seated next to us. The waiter said they can lower the temperature of the a/c but they lied to us. We finished our dim sum as quick as possible. The food is alright but services are not that great. read more

I happened to book a hostel room in the neighborhood near Chinatown, and after doing a bit of exploring during the day, I got hungry, so I checked out Dynasty. It was ok. I ordered shrimp har gow, Xiao long bao, shu mai, and other items. The food tasted very plain compared to other places. The service was great, and I loved the waiters and staff for being super helpful. It was just myself and maybe two other groups, so it was pretty quiet. I wanted this place to be really good, but I just can't say I loved it. read more

Loved it! We went to Boston's Chinatown last night to have dinner at Dynasty. One of the four of us is Chinese and she knew what to order and was able to speak (Cantonese) with the staff. We ordered a couple of mains and then a number of Dim Sum dishes. I enjoyed them all. The service here was very quick. Dishes came out fast, fresh pots of hot tea magically kept appearing. Finished dishes were quickly cleared from the table. And we felt for all the food we got, the fresh, authentic flavors of it all - that the cost was quite reasonable. I'd return to Dynasty! read more

**Delicious Dim Sum in Chinatown!** We had a great meal at Dynasty Restaurant in Boston's Chinatown! The shu mai were fantastic--perfectly steamed with flavorful filling. The BBQ pork buns were equally delicious, with tender, sweet pork wrapped in soft, fluffy dough. Fair warning: the portions are generous! We ordered what seemed like a reasonable amount and ended up completely stuffed. It's definitely a good value for the quality and quantity you get. If you're craving authentic dim sum in Chinatown, Dynasty is a solid choice. We left satisfied and happy. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for tasty, filling Chinese food in Boston! read more

I went here for lunch and like other reviewers, noticed that the service is very slow. I had to flag someone down to place my order and also to pay the bill. I ordered the noodles which was good but nothing extraordinary. The two stars are not only for the long wait for service and for food, but also because the price on the bill was more than what was printed on the menu, and the recommended tips were all based on the total after tax! Since it took so much time and I had to leave, I didn't bother checking on the price. I don't think I'll eat here again, there are similar places nearby in Chinatown that are more honest that I'd recommend instead. read more

Dynasty is perfectly good, authentic Cantonese. The XO, xiao long bao, shrimp noodle roll, and barbecue bao buns were all good. Definitely order the XO rolled noodles; I can't remember the last time I tried something new, that I enjoyed as much as this dish. My one qualm about the experience is the service--it wasn't terrible, but the server didn't check in on us, when we had obviously finished eating. We waited an extra 10-15 minutes for our check, even though the restaurant was fairly empty while we were there. read more

We were looking for some good dim sum in Chinatown and found this place. It has a clean, modern vibe which is unusual for legit dim sum places. You order off a checklist menu, so no carts rolling around, but everything came out hot and fresh. This is what we ordered. 1. Char siu sou bbq pork flaky pastry - OMG. These were so buttery, flaky and melt in your mouth. I wish I got more orders. This was by far my favorite dish. I'm still dreaming about it. 2. Har Gow Shrimp Dumplings - these were solid. Piping hot and delicious. 3. Siu mai pork and shrimp dumplings - also solid. Large and juicy. 4. Bean curd rolls with pork in oyster sauce - I didn't love these. They were kind of chewy. 5. BBQ pork noodles rolls - very light and yummy 6. Xiao long bao soup dumplings - these were not too soupy but had good flavor. 7. Molten egg yolk buns--These were surprisingly delicious. The molten yolk oozed out when I punctured them. 8. Red bean minion buns - almost too cute to eat, but they were yummy The service was quick and friendly, but we had to ask for a lot of things because there were no condiments on the table. Parking in that area is a nightmare, but that's Chinatown for you. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to check out Chinatown. We chose this place due to the high reviews but overall, food was just mid. The restaurant itself is big and spacious. We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and did not have to wait. Service was quick. We ordered some of the dim sum staples like har gow, sieu mai, tripe, vegetables, shrimp rolls, pork spare ribs, etc. I will say that the portion they give is bigger than what we're used to back home in Los Angeles but I find the flavors lacking and bland. Nothing to really write home about but worth checking out if in the area. Price seems to be fair. read more

A small little dim sum restaurant in China town. The restaurant was actually nice and clean looking once inside. No dim sum cart which makes sense because the restaurant it not that much space between the tables. Service was ok a bit above average than your typical dim sum place . Chicken claw in black bean sauce $7.25 5/5- nice and fresh adn flavorful of bean sauce savoriness Xiao Long Bao (soup Dumpling) $9.45 3/5- too mee need more soup and lack flavor and a tad bit too much dough Fish Paste & Pork Blood congee (Rice Soup) 4/5 $7.45- The blood curd was fresh; the fish ball can use some more seasoning and the rice soup itself need more flavor I would definitely come back to try other seafood dishes next time I am in Boston read more

Visited Dynasty for the first time this evening. I was surprised how big it was inside, considering what I found as I walked up to the front door. The restaurant gave the impression of a higher-end Cantonese Restaurant than I typically frequent in Chinatown. I really enjoyed the experience. I had a beef brisket dish with rolled fried crispy rice noodles, peanuts, peppers, and a tasty sauce. Also, half a Peking Duck was at the table along with a clay pot seafood tofu dish. All dishes came across as quality and tasty. The Peking duck skin was nicely crisp with little fat left on it, it was quite a treat. The cut-up duck meat pieces were also relatively clean of fat, yet tender and moist. Making and eating the little sandwiches, with sauce, scallions, and cucumber on super-thin pancakes was delicious. Before I left, I took a quick look at their live fish tanks. I was very pleased to see they were crystal clear and very clean. They also had some interesting seafood to try. I am looking to visit again real soon. read more

My friend was feeling for some dimsum, so we ended up here. We didn't wait too long. We ordered the T4 Quail Egg Shao Mai (new to us), T7 Beef Tripe with Tofu Puff (always love to get tripe, but had to try with tofu puff), T12 Bean Curd Rolls with Pork in Ouster Sauce, T23 Fried Dough Noodle Rolls, T32 Poached Seasonal Vegetable (needed some veggies), T8 Spare Ribs with Taro (never had it cooked with taro), and tea to accompany everything. Everything was cooked fine, but the flavoring wasn't there for me. It tasted too light for me. In addition, we didn't get the Spare Ribs with Taro. However, that worked out in the end since we were getting pretty full. Unless I'm really craving dimsum, I probably wouldn't come back when I am in the area again. read more

I love dim sum, and I've enjoyed it in many cities and Chinatowns across the United States. This was truly one of the best dim sum experiences I've had. We arrived early on a Sunday morning and were seated right away--no wait at all for our party of five. The restaurant was clean, and the dining room felt comfortable rather than crowded, unlike many busy dim sum houses. Instead of carts, dim sum is ordered by marking a paper menu. I actually prefer this: you don't have to wait for the dishes you want, and everything arrives hot from the kitchen. The food was outstanding. Every dish was expertly prepared in the traditional Cantonese style. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and generously portioned. Dim sum can sometimes be greasy, but these dishes weren't at all. Here's what we ordered--and why I was so pleased. All my favorites: Jasmine Tea - Hot, fragrant, and perfect with the meal. Gai Lan - Fresh, firm (not overcooked), with just the right amount of oyster sauce. Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai - The filling was spot on. Shrimp Har Gow - Tasty shrimp and beautifully thin dumpling skins. Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaves - The fillings added great flavor to the rice. Shrimp and Chive Dumplings - Fresh ingredients in a delicate, thin wrapper. Steamed Ribs with Taro - Bite-size riblets bursting with flavor. Xiao Long Bao - Soup dumplings sized perfectly for a traditional Chinese soup spoon, with warm, savory broth. Steamed BBQ Bao - Soft, warm buns with excellent pork filling. Bean Curd Rolls - One of my favorites. I love the texture of the bean curd wrapper. These rolls were large and came cut in half for sharing. Service was fast, friendly, and polite. read more

This is the new and revamped Dynasty on Tyler street in Chinatown/boston. The place is clean, and seems to offer dim sum all day? We were there on a late weekend afternoon. They give you picture menus and a pencil so you can order dim sum, then they bring it to your table. No dim sum carts, at least not during our visit. Parking in Chinatown is always a difficult challenge. Food was okay. Nothing spectacular that warrants a call out, but not bad either. This place also offers traditional lunch and dinner too, for which we did not try this time. read more

In the mood for dim sum and wanting to try a place we hadn't been to. We were seated right away at 1 PM on a Saturday. Wishing our menu had pictures like some other dim sum places but hey this is Chinatown so we were happy to explore. Tables were very close together and the place is not overly spacious. Bathrooms were clean. We settled for ( dishes to start and they ended up being plenty. The highlight of our meal were the brisket beef with noodles (sauce is delicious and although the brisket was somewhat chewy but the sauce made up for it) and the shrimp dumplings (had plenty of shrimp). The stir fried rice noodle with Xo sauce was disappointing in taste. Just missed the taste spot and was somewhat bland. We will be back to try other dishes in the future. read more
