Mian Sichuan Gourmet Noodles

We had planned to go to Din Tai Fung, but the wait was too long. We booked a quick reservation for Paradise Dynasty. We were seated immediately due to our reservation. The restaurant was not very busy on Veteran's Day (Tuesday). We were seated at a nice table. The table had clearly been recently cleaned as it was very wet. When our server arrived after a few minutes, we asked for a towel to dry up all of the water. My date ordered a cocktail while we asked for some recommendations. We ordered many of the items suggested by our server, but we were primarily there for dumplings. Within a couple of minutes we got part of out order. Some steamed prawn and pork dumplings and some pan fried pork dumplings. I was shocked how quickly they came out. Both sets of dumplings were cold. My only conclusion was that someone else had ordered them or they had been pre made, because with the lighting fast turnaround, how could they be cold. The rest of the items we ordered came at very random intervals. We ordered a pork belly appetizer that the server suggested which came 10 minutes after our last item was served. It was also cold. It took 20 minutes for my date to get here first cocktail. By that time, I had already finished my iced tea and was not offered a refill. We ordered the sea bass, it was very mediocre. The saving grace was the peppered Angus beef. It was amazing. We did not see our server until well after the last food items were delivered. I finally was able to flag him down for another cocktail for my date. The food was sub par (other than the beef), the service was terrible, I had to flag down someone to take my credit card, and the overall experience was not worth the $183 bill for two people. We should have waited for Din Tai Fung. The overall experience was not worth the price.

It was a great place! if din tai dung ain't available this is really good alternative! Dare I say maybe better? As someone from out of state who does not have either options, this was great. Loved the food, the service and the vibes. I'd say my favorite dish is the stir fried string beans. Must get!

First time visit to this fabulous restaurant experience! The food was excellently delicious, loved the unique dining experience and menu options! Importantly too, was the wonderful service and hospitality received from Hendrey, our server. Will share this great dining experience with family and friends. Congratulations and wishing great success!

The server was very efficient and friendly. Once the order was taken all the food came out at once. It was quick. We liked the dim sum dishes. We always eat here when we celebrate a birthday. Too bad there wasn't any acknowledgement for the special occasion but oh well...

The food arrived early and it was good. The place was clean. We got a table with couch that we requested. They are very accommodating.

This was my first time coming here to Paradise Dynasty during happy hour. It tasted very well. All of the food was amazing. I had ordered a few XLB sets. I ordered the specialty set, the cheese set and the garlic set. Out of all of them I enjoyed the cheese one the most. we also ordered a few appetizers. We had chilled tofu, a mushroom dish, some bbq ribs, and spicy shrimp wontons. We also ordered fried rice with pork as well as stirfry noodles with shredded pork. I enjoyed the fried rice a lot that was one of my favorites aside from the XLB sets. The service was very good. Our table was attended to quite frequently. We also had our waters filled up often. The staff are very friendly and kind and attentive. I would recommend booking a reservation to eat here just because it makes the seating time faster and a better experience. For dessert we ordered a salted egg XLB. Not my favorite it wasn't too pleasing to me. Would try something else next time. The ambiance and environment is very nicely put together and very clean. It is a social setting. It feels a little bit more than casual, which is nice. The restaurant is in the South Coast Plaza mall but it's right on the edge of one of the entrances so it's not hard to get to.

Overall great experience . Service slower side but they did not rush us out at all and very courteous . Food flavors were very delicious and unique ! Definitely need to try if never been, and will return again. So happy for this dining addition to OC!

My family of 7 was treated royally at Paradise Dynasty. The food was plentiful and tasty. The variety ordered was and interesting. Of all the soup dumpling places I've been, this is the best. I had the 8 variety soup dumplings and they were very good tho' I can't say the taste of each was that different from one to the other except for the kim chee dumpling which had a low level hit of heat. My margareta with mescal (not tequilla) was excellent; a little sweeter than I like but in the future I will order it with less sugar and more chiles. It is VERY expensive but not more than any other high end soup dumpling establishment. Our server, Sebastian, was very friendly and attentive and efficient. For special occasions, it is well worth the price. Not so much for a routine meal.

The food was fresh and extremely good tasting. Our server was very helpful and attentive to our needs. I would strongly suggest to make reservations as this restaurant is very popular and busy. The wait is well worth it.

Shrimp fried rice was a bit bland. The stir-fry chicken noodles was good, but not better than any other place. The dumpling itself was okay... we got the sampler, the original, the bbq, the tom yum, and the crab dumpling and there was not enough soup inside making them a bit dry for our taste. Oh! And they were really oily. We definitely left very disappointed and unsatisfied and will not be coming back, but the service was good, everyone was super friendly. Our bill was about 160 (for 2 adults, 1 toddler).

It was ok. Din Tay Fung is still the best IMO. Food was good but service was not great. Server seemed a bit overwhelmed and was unavailable for the most part. They also messed up our dumpling order. Ambience is a bit dark, depressing and feels like eating at a food court.

Paradise Dynasty never disappoints. From the signature soup dumplings to the Wagu asparagus everything was great. I have been here 10 times and always consistent great food which is served fairly quickly.

Great food especially the original XLB. I would considered it a true soup dumpling. Excellent service all around. Will definitely come back.

Came here and it was coincidentally Happy Hour (M-F 2:30-5pm). Food and service were both exception and exceeded expectations - will be back!

We had a great get-together with our friends, with delicious foods!!! We like to go back there again👍😊
