    Fried Rice, Sweet/Sour Pork, Maduros

    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.
    Yoselyn F.

    I stopped here after a massage and being hypnotized by the images of their food on the window. I ordered the spare ribs because they looked unbelievable and I had craved it for a while. They were horrible. The ribs tasted old, and reheated. They were also sauce-less. I was so disappointed by the dish that I dumped the entire thing after tasting one piece. The rice was fresh and tasted fine but these ribs were upsetting. In the past folks used to say how good this place was, it isn't the same. Price wise the value wasn't there. The portion and quality is the same as other Chinese restaurants in the area.

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

    We started out in Chelsea, aiming for Chinatown. The bus was twenty minutes off. "Is it worth…read morewaiting?" I asked T. "We can go someplace else." "How 'bout there?" he responded pointing to Excellent Dumpling House. It was directly across the street. I pulled up Yelp, saw good reviews and readily agreed. At 3:30, the restaurant was empty. There were a few takeout orders, but we were the only people sitting down for late lunch. And y'know ... it was pretty good. Wonton soup is what I'd expect in Chinatown. Wonton wrappers were thin -- my preference -- the stuffing delicious and the broth flavorful. They were generous with the beef in our chow fun. Good, but the noodles needed a jolt. So I asked for soy sauce which was sort of a solution. Shrimp with vegetables was great. A lot of shrimp, too. There are lunchtime specials on weekdays, reasonable prices, and nice people work there. Next time it makes sense to try dumplings since it is, after all a dumpling house.

Located within the historic Chelsea Market building--a former Nabisco factory where Oreo cookies were first produced--the restaurant feels theatrical in the best possible way. The soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting, and energetic atmosphere create a sense of occasion from the moment you walk in. It feels less like simply going out to dinner and more like stepping into a beautifully staged production. I started with a Botanist Gin Martini with a twist, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The surprise star of the evening was the new Cucumber Tiger Salad. The balance of flavors was exceptional: bright acidity, a pleasant touch of heat, and just enough mint to make each bite feel fresh and exciting. Every so often the mint would come through and suddenly all the flavors would click together in a way that made me immediately want another bite. This is a dish I would happily order again. Next came the Edamame Dumplings. They were delicate and comforting, especially when enjoyed with the accompanying broth. The broth adds depth and richness that elevates the entire dish. My only suggestion would be the slightest touch more salt, perhaps even a finishing sprinkle of black volcanic salt for both flavor and presentation. I also found myself wishing there were a bit more of that delicious broth because it contributes so much to the overall experience. For my entrée, I ordered the Glazed Alaskan Black Cod, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The fish was rich, buttery, and perfectly prepared. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully the accompaniments were composed. The pickled cucumbers brought brightness, acidity, and crunch, while the black bean and eggplant relish delivered deep savory notes and unexpected complexity. I'm generally not an eggplant fan, but this relish was outstanding. The cucumbers and relish sit at opposite ends of the flavor spectrum, yet both somehow make the cod even better. Looking back, I think a glass of Sauvignon Blanc alongside the cod would have been the perfect pairing. I finished with the Miso Caramel Milk Bar, which was spectacular. Decadent, sweet, salty, and touched with just enough umami to keep every bite interesting. The chocolate crumble underneath added a wonderful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the creamy ice cream and luscious caramel sauce. Every component worked together perfectly, creating a dessert that was both indulgent and sophisticated. From start to finish, the meal felt polished, thoughtful, and memorable. Thank you!

I also tried the Blush cocktail which was similar to a lychee martini. I loved it and it was perfectly sweet. Overall it was on the pricey side once we split everything, but the vibes were great for a nice night out.

Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top.

The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
