La Dinastia

very nasty the food

A chino latino traditional. Good menu and prices. Great to have a meal with friends

I don’t understand the hype about this place. The food seems like decent quality but is very bland. I’ve tried them several times and each time I walk away feeling like I barely could taste any flavor. Even in a dish like eggplant in garlic sauce you could barely taste any garlic and typically this is a very flavorful dish. I think one of the reasons they do so well in the heights is cause we generally only have hole in the wall Chinese spots so by comparison this seems better but really it’s not.

La comida china más mala que e podido comer en manhattan y precios sumamente caros compre pollo agridulce y arroz frito y parece que esa comida tenía como 3 días ya vieja el si es por mi ya que cierren ese lugar si no van a dar un buen servicio que decepción y también cabe agregar que el lugar no es muy higiénico.

I’ve lived a block away for the past 5 yrs and it’s always kind of been hit or miss. When it hits, I have this feeling of “never going anywhere else.” The most recent miss was so bad, I had to say something. I placed my $75 order on GrubHub because I couldn’t get in touch with the restaurant. After placing the order, I realized I didn’t ask for extra duck sauce. I tried calling for the next 30 min as GrubHub wasn’t allowing me to add the adjustment to my order. Nothing. The food finally gets here, 3 packs of duck sauce, which I guess is my fault. But man, we could’ve really used it. The fried rice was burnt and flavorless. The sesame chicken was also very dry. The wonton soup I ordered was some other thing I hadn’t ordered, also flavorless. The eggrolls were somehow both dry and soggy at the same time. Dry on the outside and complete mush on the inside. My guess is that it was fried too hot so it looked good to go but was not. We also ordered a kung pao chicken but didn’t even open it because everything was so bad. We tried calling the restaurant several times. Someone finally answered but in the middle of talking, they put the phone down and left us on hold, listening to their conversations for 10-15 min while we were also on hold waiting for GrubHub. I reached out because we didn’t want our money back, we just wanted an edible dinner…. Which never happened. It’ll be a tough time trying to convince the Mrs to eat here again. Which is a shame. We took my mom to the UWS location a few weeks back and we LOVED it. It’s what made me want to revisit my home location again. Pretty bummed about all this.
