    Family owned place with humongous portions. Each order is more than enough for 2 people. Standard Chinese Latin food.

    Old school style and service. No frills vibe. Simple menu old school chinese style. I ordered special fried rice, crackling chicken bone in, plantain and a frozen lemonade. Everything was fresh since I was literally waiting at the door when they opened. The chicken was definitely a highlight as others may have mentioned. Delicious, crispy and moist. But the special fried rice, ugh so damned good! Really authentic with a light char flavor that I wasn't expecting but definitely appreciated. The frozen lemonade was perfectly balanced not too sweet nor bland. The plantain was okay. I was enjoying my food so much I lost track of time and damn near pushed a tall, handsome, gentleman out the way to hurry and pay because I had to run to work lol he was a good sport about it though and I apologized. The service was one little asian man running pretty much everything except the kitchen. I tipped him great and left in a hurry but I'll definitely be back for more!

    What's not to love! Lunch on a Saturday afternoon - the service was friendly, the food delicious, and the restaurant was clean and inviting.

    La dinastia is a hybrid of 2 cuisines... latino & chinese. Whats not to love. I dined here a few years back & glad to have rediscovered it. Food is tasty, servings are large, good for sharing. Service is quick & our waiter is friendly. The restaurant in itself is small, not fancy at all, very down to earth & the patrons are mostly working class people around the neighborhood. I think this will be my new WAHI neighborhood lunch spot.

    This is my go to place in Washington Heights. Family owned for decades and their recipes haven't t changed much, and STILL it's amazing food for its price point. This Cuban/Chinese restaurant makes amazing Spanish dishes and the best boneless chicken crackling. Below is the grilled fish that is fresh and flavorful. Their red beans and frijoles with white rice is money and you need to try their ropa veija that's succulent and tender.

    Ham Fried Rice with egg.

    3.5 stars! If you know me, Chino Latino is in my top 5 favorite cuisines. I grew up in Sunset Park and it was a childhood staple, the neighborhood had about 4 restaurants and all of them were great. They're all gone now so I've had to depend on New Apolo in Bushwick, which just doesn't compare. A relative is staying at the hospital nearby and when I went to get something to eat, I saw Dinastia was in walking distance. The first time I went I got ham egg foo young with egg fried rice, gravy on the side. It's definitely not a popular dish cause the lady who took my order kept asking if the food was for me, lol. "You like?" And I had to keep telling her yes, this is for me, I love egg foo young. That being said, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The gravy was flavorless, the egg patties themselves were definitely freshly made but missing a lot. Not enough onion, bean sprout, scallion... I had to add a bunch of stuff to make it okay. Second time, however, was much better. I got the fried chuleta combination with ham fried rice and a side of spicy garlic sauce. Which is the MOST IMPORTANT PART. Dont argue with me. This is how we did it in sunset. This dish was everyone's favorite and it would just come with garlic sauce, no need to pay extra. Now, I also had to pay extra for them to put egg in my fried rice. The reason why I say Sunsets chino Latino restaurants were top tier is because not only was the flavor on point, ALWAYS, they also never nickel and dimed you for things that should be a given. Chinese fried rice is made with egg. The guy at the counter had a whole conversation with me about new age Chinese restaurants being lazy and having "yellow" fried rice, how they're the real deal because they follow the original recipe. I just don't understand how you could say that and then charge your customers extra for something the recipe already calls for. The food was good and probably the closest tasting to my old spots but it cost me $22 and I just feel like that's very hefty. Think about it this way, chuletas at a Dominican/Puertorican spot with rice and beans is not costing you no damn $22. I would definitely go again because the cuisine is very much hard to come by. If you get this, make sure you get the garlic sauce on the side. It's how it should be done.

    This is a very unique restaurant with both typical Chinese take out and latino food. The lunch specials are not too pricy and they definitely come with a large amount of food. The proportions are huge. The food itself was nothing out of the ordinary. It was quite solid fried chicken, and the fried rice was slightly dry but did have a good amount of meat in it so I felt that I received my money's worth. Overall, the service is great! They are all bilingual, and it took under 10 minutes for my meal to be ready. I haven't tried any of the Chinese dishes, so I will have to comment on those later. The food is quite solid, nothing spectacular, but the portions are huge, so I felt that it matched the cost.

    The worst ribs ever.

It's a loud and vibrant atmosphere. They have a pre-theater prefix menu which we decided on. Empanada app was 3 large empanadas and each one was flavored and yummy. Also opted for the guac and chips app just to have something a little lighter. Entrees are served with rice and beans. The pernil was excellent. Super tender and garlicky. The ropa vieja was also very good, with deep flavors. Dessert was the course that was disappointing, which was such a bummer after a great meal. The flan was definitely overcooked, so the texture was off. The cafe con keche was decent.

Walked into Margon Restaurant in Midtown and instantly felt like I found one of NYC's secret cheat codes. Small space, big flavors, zero nonsense. The kind of place where you're elbow-to-elbow with strangers but everyone's united by one thing... serious hunger. Ordered the Cuban sandwich -- pressed, crispy, loaded with roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard. One bite in and I stopped talking... which never happens. This thing didn't just deliver... it showed up early and over-prepared. Then came La Bandera Dominicana Braised beef swimming in savory gravy, yellow rice piled like a mountain, black beans doing their thing, and sweet maduros sitting on top like the victory flag. Simple. Comforting. Dangerous... because now I want it every week. Place gets busy, gets loud, gets chaotic... but it moves like a well-oiled machine. Years of experience and zero attitude. Just good people making great food. In a neighborhood full of tourist traps, this hole-in-the-wall is throwing haymakers. Sometimes the best escape in NYC isn't a rooftop... It's a Cuban sandwich and a plastic tray. And honestly... I'd pick that every time. #nycfood #hiddennyc #midtowneats

Ambiance (5/5): Step into an immersive experience with the dim lighting and décor, that transports you to a rustic Cuban chill spot.

Service (5/5): Staff was kind and provided us a warning when the happy hour was about to be over. We took advantage of their HH menu and ordered a few drinks and apps. The drinks are not that much discounted at $12 for cocktails, $7 beers. HH Oysters (5/5) were $2/ w 6pc min. They were very fresh and medium sized! Both the lechon and ropa vieja tostones (5/5) were very good. The tostones were unique, soft but sturdy to hold the toppings. Crispy bao (duck) (4/5): For the price point, it was 1 duck leg to be split between 3 bao buns. This did not feel like it worth that price. Felt below par from Chinese duck baos. Chicken empanada 2pc (5/5): wonderful exterior with a tasty green sauce. The chicken was moist and mojo spice was great Papa Rellenas 2pc (5/5): A nice presentation of the croquettes which was great Crispy wings (5/5): I loved the wings as they were not breaded, but still crispy.

I would say that this was lucky cause the place was packed. Generally loud but you can still talk with people on your party. One of the first things I look for is if a restaurant serves you water when you sit and here they do and the waitress would often make sure we were topped off. That is something that is always appreciated and noticed by me. The food was generally good and service was fast. I tried various dishes and while great tasting nothing really stood out like lots of the reviews said and I tried a bit of everything that was recommended in the reviews. (Even ox tail empanadas which sounds weird but weren't bad). I think the biggest appeal here is that it's 24 hours so you know you always have a quality place to go to that is great.

Here you can find great food at a great value in NYC. I walked in and looked over what they had left about an hour before closing and tried their pork chops in red sauce for the first time. I usually get the pork chops with onions and peppers, but I'm glad I had these pork chops in the red tomato based sauce over yellow rice and black beans, with mixed vegetables. Twenty bucks gets you all this in a twin pork chop meal and a bottle of water. Ask for some of the red sauce gravy poured over the chops and rice. The pork chops; though sitting in that red sauce, still have caramelized edges offering that texture your palate will enjoy along with that savory red sauce. The sauce is so good and has a touch of tanginess and bouquet that enhances the whole experience. I even got another pork chop on top, given it was so good. The rice is cooked properly and only the mixed vegetables, particularly the zucchini, at the end of the day were slightly overdone; though, the broccoli was still just right. The black beans were perfect. All the Sophie's are clean from my experience; though, I have never been in their restrooms. You can dine here with confidence and the people working at this Sophie's were very nice and welcoming. No food porn photos accompanied this review, because I dove in and tore it up before I knew it. 3.7 stars!
