“The food was very good. My 8 and 14 year old ate until they had their fill. They serve family style so they are big portions for a family of 4-6 to share. We got a rice dish, noodle dish and 2 chicken with vegetables dishes but different flavors. We had to take some home.

Parking: It is behind the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: The waiter is friendly and patient. The cook is also friendly, especially when my son greeted her. Serve family style dishes.“

“A very delicious but reasonable price Chinese Restaurant. The regional flavor is mainly Cantonese taste that is what we prefer. Recommended.“

“Coconut Thai Cuisine is a great new addition to the Capitola food scene. There’s plenty of great options for delicious Thai food in the Santa Cruz area, but, newcomers, Coconut Thai Cuisine have established themselves as worthy competitors for the legacy of best Thai place in town. Large portions, delicious flavor, and reasonable prices. Strongly recommend giving it a try.“

“Walked in a 9:25pm, unaware that the restaurant closed at 9:30. Once I realized, I was fine to leave them be to close up because I know it can be inconvenient to have customers walk in as you’re closing. The staff insisted they were happy to make our order as long as it was to go. We ordered two meals and they said “it’ll be ready in 5min” and they were not lying! Less than 4min later, we had our food and were out the door. It was delicious!! Dynasty gets 5 stars for the service alone, plus the food is delicious. Glad to have a great Chinese restaurant on the east side🙏 will be back!“

“They are open on Sunday!Wonderful authentic Chinese food(slightly less spicy for local tastes)- locally owned and friendly. Bustling, Casual sit down and take out. Lots of conversation in mandarin between kitchen, owners and hosts- which we love. We went in a large group and tried 10 dishes. Favorites were garlic chicken wing appetizer, spicy green beans, fish stew, cumin lamb, Sichuan style chicken, and the mu shu pork. We also like led the Sichuan tofu, scallops with broccoli, Mongolian beef (Chinese fajitas), and the candied walnut shrimp.“

“Staff was welcoming food was good especially the sesame seed chicken 😋😋 chicken wings a little over cooked but still good“

“I initially went here with my family not know how many vegan options they have! I ordered the fried udon with tofu and it was delicious. The service was great as well, but it went over our heads at first that we had to pay at the counter. Just a heads up for those who end up waiting for their check to get picked up! Definitely going to come back here as a vegan staple.“

“Went to this place by chance. Love the food, generous portions. Had the family meal #3. Very reasonable prices. The only downside was the service. It was slow. Took too long to take our order. Had to ask for our water glasses to be refilled. Despite the service, will go back“

“It’s a bit of a hole in the wall, and we randomly came here on a whim before going to JJs bar next door for shuffle board. But, this place was amazing! Food was so delicious, service was fast, and friendly! We will definitely be regulars now!“

“Great food for a very reasonable price. I had the compound chicken and it was delicious.“

“The food is super delicious!“

“My favorite restaurant in Santa Cruz. Great lunch and dinner specials, and I’ve never had a dish that I didn’t like - even the black bean eggplant was surprisingly good. The service is fast and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!“

“Beef wrap is good!

Jalapeño Pork Belly Mixed Rice (no spicy) is good!

Numbing & SpicyDan Dan Noodles didn’t hit my taste. I think it’s too much sichuan pepper this time.

Compare to other special noodle store. This one maintain its taste. Service is good!“

“Okay guys it may not look like your next date night based on the outside but I promise this place has the best Vietnamese food in Santa Cruz. Their chicken vermicelli bowl is always my go to - it’s so yummy, fresh, satisfying, and always hits the spot. Their soups are authentic and the spicy beef broth is actually spicy. Get the chicken banh mi if you like delicious things because I’m pretty sure they make the bread fresh and their chicken is the best meat they have. Food comes out quick but there are limited tables available. Don’t forget to get a boba on the way out :)“

“Been coming here for decades for very good Chinese food! NOTE: the phone and address shown on this FB page is correct, but the "pandainn" website shown here is NOT for this restaurant in Aptos, but for a Southern California chain of 5 restaurants.“

“Had one item from the lunch special, General Tao's Tofu, which I highly recommend. The other dish was Snow Peas, Broccoli and Blsck Mushrooms (one of my favorites) which was nicely cooked (not over cooked) but could have benefitted from a little tastier sauce. However we mixed the two dishes together and loved it. Portions are generous and easily shared by two or three! Service was outstanding. We sat on the patio and we're handed menus within moments. Order was taken within minutes of arrival and the young lady who took our order was great about helping us "veganize" a vegetarian dish. Food was delivered piping hot in less than 10 minutes. I'd have no problem returning for lunch. The patio area means well-behaved and leashed dogs may accompany their humans. I do wish they had more vegan items available (like Daiya, Gardein etc.). Nevertheless, the lunch special is a bargain.“

“Came in because I was craving phô.. I have to say I was disappointed with the flavor of it so I would not order that particular plate again.. however, their spork spring rolls are really good. I just wish their peanut sauce was a bit thicker... the salt & pepper wings def were the hit of the night. I would go back and order more wings if my stomach could handle it, lol... overall, I had a good experience there, and the staff was friendly.“

“Ling is the best! She is always friendly, welcoming, and has a smile on her face every time I come in. She provides excellent customer service and goes above and beyond to make sure customers have a great experience. It’s employees like Ling that keep me coming back. Thank you for your kindness and outstanding service!“

“Nice place, with an awesome waitress that helped the perfect amount. Food was good, not extravagant but still good. The potions were much larger than I anticipated. Each thing you get comes on a big plat filled by itself. Would be a great family style meal.“

“Look, it’s not fine dining and maybe not the best for a romantic date night. But if you want a reasonably priced, decently portioned, tasty meal, it’s perfect! Food is terrific for what it is. It might take a try or two to figure out your favorite dish, but it’s worth the experiment. Once you find your order you’ll want it every week!“
