I came here to have some dim sum while visiting extended family in town. My cousin recommended the place. It's on the second floor, pretty open space. You are given a menu to check what you want and then they come and get your order and then return with basically everything you ordered one after the other, filling the table pretty quickly. They are a quiet bunch, not very talkative servers. But all in all, you get what you ask for. Enjoyed the shu mai or har gow. Those are always my favorites. Mom and sister enjoyed the chicken feet, a specialty. I'm a little more used to the carts going around and you can take your time and savor and decide what you want. Here, everything comes all at once. Not a bad thing, but I feel rushed and not able to enjoy as much as I would like. I'm kind of surprised there aren't as many options for dim sum in the area considering the high density of Asian places in the area as a whole. But it saved me a trip to San Francisco so I'll take it.

Dimsum for a Sunday brunch is the best!! Dynasty brings back alot of memories growing up here and still tasty from what I remember! Wasn't too busy got seated immediately around 2pm (they close at 3pm) no carts were out- we were given a menu and checked off what we wanted Tea isn't free. They leave it on your table and if you drink it you pay- it was $3.50 on our bill for two ppl Everything was super juicy and flavorful! My favorite is the shrimp rice rolls- so soft!! Paired with soy sauce and their chilli sauce/ oil SO GOOD

The cuisine is a large dish type. The appearance and taste cannot be considered excellent. But the price/performance ratio is pretty good! The service of the service staff is very good for Chinese restaurants in the United States! The service is very attentive and there is no need to wait, and they will ask questions proactively. Because the attitude of the waiters made the overall atmosphere feel much better!

Have been here so many times over the years. A few times for dim sum during the day and it's a classic. I've also been here for a few weddings and food is not bad. Ambiance: Your classic dim sum restaurant. They still had the rolling carts

Here's a cautionary tale. This place is not reliable for take out. If you want to fine dine, I would recommend this place. Beautiful environment, friendly staff. But not for take out. We ordered Spicy Shrimp but got Spicy Chicken. We ordered 4 items, close to a hundred dollars. For that amount you would expect to get accuracy. I always see high priced restaurants as having the best of everything, including service. When we called in, I recall my wife clarifying Shrimp. The overall taste of the food did not reflect the cost, below average. Check prices before you order, check your food before you leave.

Went there for lunch, asked for high chair and didn’t get it until we leave; we even didn’t get the dim sum menu, was asked to just pick what we want from the cart! Think they have discrimination for non-Cantonese speaking customers.

Foods are gross. Came back after a while and foods quality was so bad and pricey. This is the last time I ate there. Want dim sum? Go to Saigon Seafood Harbor in Sunnyvale.

Instantly taken back to my childhood when my parents took me here on Saturday mornings. Everything was as good as I remembered. One of the only places that still serve dim sum using carts. Downside to this was that we ordered a few items on the cart and they were cold (probably sitting there for hours) All the original dim sum items great tasting and most were fresh. Nice ambiance and great for weddings and big parties.

Wanted dim sum, was told they only do that during lunch. Although I was dissappointed, I was pleased with the service and the flavor of the food.
Amazing Dim Sum place! Everything we had was delicious, can't go wrong here.

We decided to give this place another shot but the Service was still horrible! They didn't give us water. We had to ask for it and then even asked for refill on our water. Food took forever to come to our table. By the time we got some of our food, it was cold. Very disappointed!

I've never been to a dim sum restaurant where the ladies pushing the carts spoke Vietnamese, that's a first! The owner is Chinese Vietnamese so most of the employees are bilingual in Vietnamese and Cantonese. The service staff were all very friendly. The dim sum was good and piping hot. We ordered a few items to enjoy at a time before ordering more, so the food was hot. For me, it's always a plus when dim sum restaurants push carts around, as opposed to having people order everything all at once by filling out a piece f paper and then delivering everything all at once. Our experience here compared to Mayflower was night and day. If you want the real dim sum experience, come here!

Had dim-sum this past weekend with the family here at Dynasty. I can't even remember the last time i ate here, at least 10+ years because there's so many dim-sum restaurants here in the bay area but this will be the last. Service was great but most of the dishes were cold. For example the Duck dish, beef tripe and a few of the dim-sum dishes. It's Very disappointing when a dish is meant to be serve hot/warm but its refrigerator cold it throws you off and it doesn't taste as good as you expect. The venue is huge with lots of seats and tables, very nice decor but I won't be coming back here.

Big dining room so no wait for a table. Service was pretty good almost to a point where we felt rushed even though there was no people waiting. Dim sum dish selection was very limited - still had push carts instead of order by menu. Based on the limited selection we probably would not return.
