    Pan fried noodles with beef, kung pao chicken, honey walnut shrimp, wonton soup
    Niki P.

    Great food! My family came here for dinner tonight and we got the wonton soup, honey walnut shrimp, pan fried noodles w/beef and the kung pao chicken. All were great, my favorite of the night surprisingly was the kung pao chicken. It had a thick sticky sauce with great flavor and tiny bit of heat, if at all. It was addicting with some white rice. Honey walnut shrimp was crunchy and creamy and the shrimp was cooked great. Pan fried noodles always a good staple. And the wonton soup was decent! I probably wouldn't get it again, but my mom loved it! Only downside is this place gets busy. We got there before they opened at 5:00pm and there was already a line, so be prepared to wait. I'm not sure if you can make reservations. Service was friendly but kinda hard to flag down when you need something. Overall yummy and has a casual family friendly atmosphere. Will be back!

    This place has great food. Came here on a busy Saturday and found out that the menu does vary from week to weekend. We were interested in one of the rice pot dish but found out they're not available for order on Saturday's We ordered a pork belly and lobster dish to share. The lobster was very flavorful. Parking here can be tricky since it is in a busy lot. I recommend street parking and walking over after striking out with parking.

    Overall: Consistently my family's go-to spot for Chinese food, fast food and delicious but often crowded ---- My favorites are: - Roast duck ($35 whole / $20 half) - Honey Walnut Shrimp $21.95 - Steamed Chilean Sea Bass $32.95 - String Bean with Black Bean Sauce $16.95 - House Special Pepper Steak $22.95 - West Lake Mince Beef Soup $17.95 ---- Notes: - parking is very tough, and the spots are small, it's a shared plaza with a lot of other popular restaurants - can be loud inside, it's kinda small so you can hear everyone else's conversations + the music that they play in the background - 1 bathroom - usually crowded at night, they have a waitlist to write your name down on to be called ---- Overall: If you're craving authentic Chinese food, come to Eastern Dynasty. It may be crowded but it will build your appetite!

    First course of Peking Duck
    Jessica C.

    The Peking Duck two course dish is absolutely fantastic!!! The duck skin is so crispy and flavorful, the duck meat tender and rich. They serve a full duck two ways: first with warm bao buns, cucumber, thin green scallions and hoisin sauce. Second as lettuce wraps. Wow, such a special treat to have such delicious duck. About $58 and it feeds two very hungry people, or three medium hungry people. I can't recommend this duck enough. Service is good, the location takes reservations for groups 6+, and there is parking but the lot fills up quickly on weekends. We'll be back and hoping to try some of their other dishes!

    Pork belly with preserved greens
    Britt L.

    Good spot for Cantonese on Convoy. Menu was pretty diverse with a good mix of staple Cantonese dishes and other traditional Chinese dishes as well. Food was flavorful and good portion sizes. Service was quick. Food came out piping hot from the kitchen. Pan fried noodle was a stand out--noodles cooked to perfection with flavorful and authentic sauce. Pork belly with preserved veggie dish was also delicious. Appreciated the "leaner" pork belly. While we got traditional hot tea for the table, we were disappointed that the tea was lacking in flavor with a single tea bag for the kettle. Would make the dining experience all the better with a stronger tea as with traditional Asian meals. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and found the flavors to be authentic and true to Cantonese cuisine.

    Great place to dine but it's definitely not a place for the faint of hearts. Expect it to be extremely loud due to customers chatting away like no one is there but them. It is constantly busy so prepare for a wait. The food is amazing and the service is quick. Parking is tough in this plaza.

    Eastern Dynasty has my type of comfort food. There can be a bit of a wait in addition to their place being small. Other than that, I usually leave this place with a happy and full belly. I usually get the combination platter where you can choose anywhere between two to five of their barbecued dishes. I usually choose the roast duck and the honey bbq pork. The last time I ordered the duck, it came out nice and plump. The honey bbq pork was tasty; not too salty and not too bland. Recently, they had a deal where you buy a whole lobster and get one free so I took advantage of that. It was made Cantonese style with ginger and scallions. This is another flavorful dish where the lobster came right off the shell, and it was served on top of noodles. All the staffs were nice. One waiter in particular was friendly, approachable, and informative. Overall, it would be great if they could upgrade their restaurant to a bigger location. I'd probably be there even more often! (:

    We came here for lunch. 8 of us ordered 6 dishes to share. It was the perfect amount. For choice of three, i ordered BBQ pork, roast pork and roast dark. I really liked the roast pork. The house special pepper beef was great. The meat was very tender. Highly recommended. I also really liked the water spinach with garlic. The boiled spicy fish and pork chop were good but not as good as other dishes we ordered. The fried flat noodles with beef got good flavor but i preferred wider flat noodles. Overall, these Cantonese dishes are tasty for the area. It's usually pretty busy so i would recommend make a reservation. The staff was friendly and i was able to order in Cantonese with them

    The roast squab, freshly baked, is crispy and delicious -- highly recommended! The garlic shrimp with steamed vermicelli is also very tasty.The stir-fried Chinese broccoli (gai lan) was a bit too oily for me; I had to rinse it with hot water before eating -- after all, I'm the group leader of the "Wellness Grand View Garden"!乳鸽現烤的又香脆又鮮美,最推薦!蒜蓉虾蒸粉絲,也很好吃 炒唐介兰,油多了一点,我需要用开水洗了再说,因為我是养生大观园的群主!

    My mom and I came for soup, tea and rice. I am so glad we found this restaurant! We absolutely loved it! Service was fast, tables were clean, the food was delicious! We plan to come back for dinner and we plan on having duck. Definitely try them out!

    Young Chow Fried Rice

    Couldn't believe my eyes when I pull up on a Monday night and this place has a line out the door. I've got to say, they are incredibly efficient! We were seated within 10 minutes. Nice fresh pot of hot green tea on the table waiting for us. The interior of the dining room is small but very clean. There are maybe 12 tables inside. What really stood out to me was that everyone was enjoying the food and talking, I didn't see anyone on their phone during dinner. The server came to us almost immediately. He was no nonsense, getting it done! We ended up ordering the green beans with ground sausage, the beef chow fun and young chow rice. Those green beans were off the charts good. I had gotten delivery from here once before and had the barbecue pork with the beans, but they were out of it. At the Server's suggestion, we tried the ground pork and it was outstanding! 100% recommend this dish. The beef in the chow fun dish was cooked incredibly well. It was juicy and tender with just a little bit of crispiness on the outside coming a testament to how hot it must've been cooked. The noodles themselves were pretty good. Nice texture, but the flavor was unremarkable and they were over the top oily. I was a little bit, underwhelmed with the rice. It just didn't have that much flavor. Lots of little chunks of sausage but only like 3 shrimp. The shrimp seemed like they were steamed separately and then added to the rice. They had zero seasoning on them. What we did do is put some of the beans with the ground pork on the rice and that hit the spot! We could see they had a whole Peking duck available, but with just two of us, it didn't make sense to order a whole duck. Guess I'm just going to have to come back with some friends! All in all we were seated, ordered, ate our food and paid the check in under 45 minutes. We didn't get the feeling that they were rushing us out or anything. We were so full that we couldn't physically sit there comfortably any longer and we have enough leftovers for 2 more meals.

    Came to Eastern Dynasty for a late Monday lunch around 1:30pm with a few friends, and it was nice and calm, not too busy. We ordered quite the spread: ginger scallion lobster noodles, shrimp & BBQ pork fried rice, walnut shrimp, wonton soup, stir-fried garlic green beans, and roast duck. Mid-meal, the owner surprised us with news that we were the lucky diners of the day and would receive a BOGO lobster promotion, free lobster! It caught us off guard since there weren't any signs or mentions of a promo, but hey, free food is free food. When it came out, the portion seemed small, maybe two very small lobsters and the noodles were unfortunately soggy and overcooked. The lobster meat was minimal, and the flavor leaned a little too salty for our taste. That said, a lot of other dishes really delivered. The fried rice was flavorful and well-executed, and the green beans were perfectly seasoned and delicious. The walnut shrimp was perfection - crispy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. And the roast duck? Honestly one of the best I've had. Crispy skin, tender meat, and that rich, fatty flavor done right. Even with a mild shrimp sensitivity, I still risked a couple pieces (and a Zyrtec). The wonton soup was just okay, probably wouldn't order again. Service was attentive, they kept checking on us, changing out plates, and trying to make room on our (too small) table. We were sat at a 4-top, but with all the food we ordered, it got cramped quickly. They started trying to clear plates with a few pieces of food still left to make space, which I didn't love especially when it came to the duck I was still working on. Parking was easy at that time, but it's tough during peak hours. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so I probably wouldn't come with a large family group, but I'd definitely come back with friends. The bill was about $200 before tip, so yes, it's on the pricier side but with mostly great dishes, it felt worth it overall.

    Eastern Dynasty Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Eastern Dynasty

    Are you guys open during Chinese new years?

    Yes

    Do you serve beer and wine? Can we bring our own wine? What's your corkage fee?

    Yes. $15 per bottle

    Can I make reservation?

    Yes. We always have made reservations before going.

    Do you do lunch catering?

    Yes,call us

    What kind of meat is in the wonton soup?

    Shrimp and pork

    Are there gluten free options?

    Unfortunately no. It's very traditional and gluten is even in the rice.

    How is the food?

    For Cantonese food in San Diego, it's one of the best. Depending on your point of reference: definitely an "A" grade for San Diego or even the USA. A "B" for location agnostic (i.e. compared to food in HK or Vancouver / Toronto Canada).

    Do they have high chairs?

    Yes! We dined there.

    Are you open New Year's Day?

    Yes

    Do I need reservations?

    No, not at all.

    Do they make reservations? They're not answering their phone.

    Only for major groups, like 20 I believe. They answer their phone sporadically- we had to stop in once to order take out

    Do they use MSG? If so, can I ask for a dish to be prepared without it?

    I don't think they use MSG and if they do, must be insignificant amounts because I am sensitive to MSG and my body did not detect MSG. MSG makes me sweat profusely like I am exercising and I did not sweat with this food.

    Do they take a break after lunch and before dinner time?

    Closed between 3 and 5. Check the website

It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

Parking is horrible in this place and people are double parked everywhere on Saturday night. OK so now onto the dishes, the beef chow fun, probably the top. The next was the turnip cake which was also very good. The other dim sum plates were not as great as I thought they would be because either the meat was not tenderized or the skin was too thick or the flavor it was just off. The sticky rice needed more flavor and there was no chicken options for the sticky rice. You just had also one big banana leaf for wrap. My kids didn't like the meat when it's too tough and you could tell the meat was pretty tough. Not sure if I'll return there are definitely other places that can provide better. Once again, we are still in a dim sum desert in San Diego.

They specialize in Cantonese and Vietnamese-style noodles: classic wonton noodles, Vietnamese beef noodle soup, and Southeast Asian stir-fried noodles. Broths are slow-simmered with pork bones and dried flounder, paired with house-made thin egg noodles that have a nice springy texture and wheat aroma. Highly recommend the Sate Beef Rice Noodle, Sate Beef Tripe with Turnip Dry Noodles, and roast duck. Portions are generous, affordable, and the restaurant is clean and tidy. A top pick for noodle lovers!

    Minh Ky was a place we stumbled upon, and I am so glad we did as it was highly nostalgic for me…read more Walking in I immediately noticed a woman in the back folding wontons. Ok.. that's always a promising sign. Then I noticed the pleathora of sauces and seasonings at each table: soy sauce, chili oil, red vinegar, white pepper, pickled peppers, Sriracha, oyster sauce. Ok.. even more promising. Then I saw the menu with seemingly endless options. Yep, this place is legit. And reminds me of a place I grew up at in the Bay Area. Except here they play Drake. The food was delicious. The duck egg noodle came with a generous portion of duck. I appreciated that the wonton wrapper and rice noodles actually had a distinct texture. I may have added too much spice to mine, but I have no regrets. The cashew pork was a nice surprise to my bowl. While you may have to get lucky with parking (we parked on the curb and was just fine), and get through the slight language barrier, it is a wonderful experience and is worth a try.
