Amazing food, great service and good price. First time eating there and will definitely go back. Enough food for dinner and a good size lunch the next day.

Pork chow mein , beef and broccoli , sweet and sour pork , honey walnut shrimp

The food here is pretty good and the service was good as well I will be coming here again when I'm in Turlock Food came out quick and was fresh, the sweet and sour pork was good also the pork chow mein! Beef and broccoli as well!

Excellent service and good food. I have and will eat there again. If you want a good Chinese meal they are number one in Turlock.

Good food, plenty of seating, lots of parking. Hard working staff! Good portion size. Fast for takeout orders. Reasonable prices.

Do not buy this soup ! Buy Hot and Sour soup and any Chinese food from the Bay Area before you ever buy in the Central Valley.

This sound is bad , their portions are very bad , I paid over $33.00 for two chicken chow mein and one yang chow fried rice that was not cooked like Yang chow fried rice : cooking quality matter on price . I feel sorry for the Central Valley and how they do not know what good Chinese food it . And I also feel sorry for the restaurants around here who do not appreciate the fact that they have a chance to become better authentic chefs . They just want to cook because central valley is stupid . This soup should be brothy even two days later ...

Entrance and Counter

Food is very tasty with good sized portions. I love their lunchtime (before 3:30pm) they offer a variety of items! Place is a little on the older side, carpet all throughout the restaurant. Genius idea though to have menus placed under the glass top on each table, we always have a menu to look at and we don't need to touch it! The ladies at the counter are also friendly and quick to serving incoming customers, tending and cleaning tables. You can also call ahead and they'll have the food ready for you in no time!

broth tastes like water.

Dynamite dynamic Dynasty Dim Sum. The Best in the Foggy…read moreCentral Valley. My tongue loves the Peking Duck. The Mongolian Lamb. The Honey Walnut Shrimp. The Hong Kong Fried Rice. It's always Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker rush hour at this Business!

Came to Dynasty Garden after doing a quick "dim sum" search in Modesto. I had been craving dim sum…read morefor some time and since we were in town, I figured why not try somewhere new to me? Walking in on a Saturday afternoon (it was almost 3PM when we entered), you're met with a check-in counter. The inside is decorated much like a typical Chinese restaurant: round tables w a lazy susan, dark moody carpet, and infrastructure/roof tiling on the back wall that makes it look like we're dining right outside a traditional cafe in China. We were quickly seated and brought a regular menu and a dim sum menu. I liked that the dim sum menu contained pictures for easy point and order. But instead of pointing like a normal person, I brought out my broken Canto to order and I think I impressed uncle enough to get a complimentary bowl of egg flower soup lol. We ended up ordering: - Orange chicken lunch special: this comes with white rice or you can upgrade to fried rice or chow mein for an extra dollar. SO upgraded to chow mein and the plate that came out was HUGE. Was not expecting such a large portion, but I am not complaining at all. The chicken was sauced perfectly and he said the noodles were aight. - Ha gow (shrimp dumpling): these had thicker wrapping, but the dumplings themselves were stuffed. Good flavor - Shu mai (pork and shrimp dumpling): meaty, yummy. The skins sorta stuck to the bottom container though - Fong zhao (chicken feet): super delicious, but only came with 3 measly claws - Ham sui gok (fried glutinous rice pork dumpling): fried mochi goodness with delicious meat filling (even if the filling was a little sparse) - Gou choy gow (chive dumpling): my personal favorite dim sum dish; the one here was not my favorite, but it did its job. - Salt and pepper pork spareribs: we ordered this as an alternative when they told me they were out of their pineapple custard bun (bolo bao)... don't ask me how I went from dessert to this, but I liked it. The meat was kinda thin, but the flavor was there. We happened to have our meal right when the staff was having theirs right behind us. So by the time we were ready for the check, we kind of sat around waiting for someone to check on us. Our total came to about $60. I noticed that 2 of the dim sum dishes were marked as "large", at about $6.10 per dish. I wish this was posted on the dim sum menu somewhere... I only saw the $5.50 price tag. Overall, Dynasty Garden nostalgically reminds me of home, so I would definitely return.

Wild Chinese Buffet did NOT disappoint! The service is…read moreamazing, and the couple running the place are always so nice when we come in! I loaded my container up with spicy Szechuan chicken, garlic chicken, Mongolian beef, and white rice. Everything was fresh, hot, and seriously flavorful. You can tell the food isn't just sitting there, it actually tastes like it was just made. It helps when you actually see the cooks changing out the food regularly! And let's talk about portions... they PACK those containers to the point they barely close definitely got my money's worth and then some. For the price, if you're anywhere near this spot, this is the move. Big Back verified I'll definitely be coming back again!

For a small buffet, it's a great deal. Heavy on chicken dishes and fried offerings. The one soup…read morewas egg drop, and it wasn't too salty. People in my family also liked the stir-fried beef with wide rice noodles, kung pao chicken, and whole pieces of fried chicken. The one desert was sesame balls. There were also tempura-style veggies and fries. No fresh vegetables or fruit, but they had stir-fried broccoli. There were also egg rolls and crab rangoon. Simple tables and chairs, 2 bathrooms (with disposable seat covers available), and disposable plates, forks, cups, etc. Floor was just a little sticky. You just walk right in, grab a plate, and start loading up. Once you sit down, someone will bring drinks. While there, many people came in for the to-go options. When we went to pay our bill, they also offered a $4.95 kids price. What? Not sure how they survive! Would definitely come back if I were a local.

I always order the same plate . sweet and sour . Chow mein too no rice…read moreDelicious .love the flavor and texture.wonderful workers so nice clean too

Had lunch here while working in Modesto because it was nearby my location. Pretty disappointing…read moreChinese but the price for the amount of food was great. We called in an order for pick up, when I got there 15 minutes later it was ready and waiting. The 2 combo plates probably weighed 4 lbs in the bag. I honestly have no idea but it was hefty. The gentleman who helped me was also very nice and prompt. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster. My orange chicken was miles away from crispy and the sauce was kind of bland. Also the chicken itself had that gross old chicken flavor that usually only comes from reheated chicken. The chow mein was also pretty bland. They did give chili sauce and soy sauce with the order, and adding those 2 things in spades did help with the lack of flavor. The cheese puffs were also disappointing. There was a good amount of crab in them, which is unusual for cheese puffs, however, the wrapper was thick and not crispy at all, mostly chewy, so all the enjoyable texture you expect wasn't there. My spouse had a combo with fried rice, beef & broccoli, and fried prawns. He liked it well enough but agreed it was pretty mediocre. The fried rice was pretty good but the beef & broccoli left a lot to be desired. In spite of the so so food, it's such a great price that it may be worth it to you. If you need a lot of food for not a lot of money, and you don't have high quality standards, this place will definitely take care of you.
