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👍😊
Our dinner guest had not been able to make it to the previous dinner we had 2 weeks prior, so we made another dinner reservation through Open Table for Wednesday at 7 PM. We confirmed by email the day before. We were walking toward the restaurant when we were texted that our table was ready. We checked in at the podium at 6:50 PM with 3 of the 5-member party present. The 4th person would arrive in 5 minutes and the guest in 20 minutes within the 10 minutes grace period allowed. We were seated and began checking off the items we wanted to order. We knew we wanted to order again the Braised Pork Belly in Chef's Sauce from the fall experience menu, and we wanted to try the White Asparagus Wrapped with Wagyu Beef Roll because our guest likes eating beef. For the rest of the items, I gave carte blanche to the younger daughter who proceeded to mark first specialty items of the restaurant/chef's recommendations for our guest which are Specialty Dynasty Xia Long Bao, Signature Original Xiao Long Bao, Radish Pastry, Pan-fried Shanghai Kurobuta Pork Bun, Steamed Chilean Sea Bass Filet with Supreme Soya Sauce, Noodles with Vegetable Kurobuta Pork Wontons in Thick Chicken Soup, and Fried Rice with Fried Pork Chop. We also ordered Prawn and Kurobuta Pork Wontons in Chili Oil, Japanese Cucumber with Minced Garlic, Chilled Tofu in Soy Sauce Vinaigrette with Crispy Onions, and Stir-fried French Bean with Minced Pork and Preserved Olive Vegetable. Our guest had seen ads for the restaurant but had never been. He commented that the food was very good and authentic. He ate his fill and was very satisfied. The Wagyu Beef was indeed tender and even a member of our party who does not normally eat beef was persuaded to try a roll. The steamed Chilean sea bass filet and noodles in thick chicken soup have become a constant in our orders. We were not rushed at all and enjoyed our dinner and conversation. It turns out that we had a reason to celebrate--our guest was finishing his internship.
Nice environment, quiet in the afternoon, good service. Had to ask for several items. Overall good food and quality.

Good. DTF much better. Service was ok but some staff member always took care of us. Loved the ambiance. The basement food options below this restaurant looked amazing. I'll try that next.
Our GO TO restaurant all the time!!! Jason our waiter was great so is Christine our favorite bar tender!
The food was flavorful, but the portions were pretty small. We wanted to order more items, but we never saw our waitress again after she took our initial order. She missed entering some of our items so we really wanted more. We asked two other servers for help and they told us they would tell our waitress, but still no sighting. We finally gave up and begged another server to ring us up and check us out. Overall the food was decent but of the four waitstaff we interacted with, only one was good. The other three ruined the experience.
This was the worst place to go the bar employees were being so weird. They acted strange against me and my friends. One of the employees verbally assaulted my friend and started acting very sexual to her after she had a few drinks.
Food was really good. This was my first time having dumplings like this and it was an amazing experience. Hendry was my waiter and he provided a great experience for my whole party!
