Dynastie offers a widely appreciated selection of Chinese cuisine that stands out for its generous portions, authentic flavors, and late-night availability. While many patrons praise the restaurant for its efficient service, cleanliness, and tasty dishes like salt and pepper tofu and shrimp dumplings, experiences remain inconsistent regarding staff interaction and order accuracy. Some diners report exceptional hospitality and high-quality meals, whereas others describe the service as occasionally cold or aggressive, particularly concerning tipping, and note that certain menu items can be overly oily or improperly prepared. Overall, it serves as a convenient destination for those seeking reliable late-night dining, though experiences with service and consistency may vary from visit to visit.
Worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The server handed 2 menus for 6 people to one person instead of serving the table, slammed our dishes down so hard the utensils rattled, & expected us to pass the plates around ourselves as well.
When one of our orders was incorrect, he immediately insisted it was what we ordered without listening & left the dish on the table anyway. The food was disappointing, but the service was even worse.
After I chose not to leave a tip because of the experience, the server told me,'Next time, get takeout if you're not going to tip.' I replied,'No problem, you'll never see me again.' I definitely won't be returning.
Lily & her team especially our amazing waitress were fantastic,
5 star customer service & hospitality we went there for a mini family reunion & surprise birthday
They were amazing from beginning to end
We were a large group & they were very patient & informative of the menu, I have been here numerous times but this is the first time with a larger group
My girlfriend & I came in at dinner time, when it wasn't too busy. From the beginning, we were not treated well (ie: no water, had to ask for menus), we ordered the fried rice & the curry chicken.
The curry chicken had a overwhelming tumeric smell, & tasted awful to the point where I gagged smelling it. I tried sending it back to the kitchen & the man's first response was that I still had to pay for it. Ok fair... the bill comes around, & as expected he didn't take it off the bill. I decided to tip 10% because of the terrible service all throughout & the man proceeded to lash out at me in front of the whole restaurant. We left immediately, but my girlfriend forgot her scarf, we went back, & he continued to say bad things about me??
Overall, was a shitty experience, & would not recommend as the people running the restaurant are unprofessional, & haven't learned basic manners despite this restaurant being around for 10+ years.
Dynastie messed up our order twice, & instead of fixing it professionally, the staff acted irritated with us for asking for the correct food. What we finally got was average, nothing special.
They also pushed for a tip, even though the service was poor. I had to remind them that tipping is based on service, not mandatory.
Overall, a disappointing experience. Not returning.
One of my favorite chinese restaurant in Montréal. Portions are generous, service is friendly.
Good vegetarian options. The salt & pepper tofu is delicious!
If I could give zero stars, I would give negative zero.
The service at this restaurant was by far the worst I have ever experienced. Our bill was $159, yet we were pressured to leave at least a 15% tip for what was honestly poor service. Tips should be earned through good service, not demanded from customers.
One staff member was incredibly rude & asked us,'Is this your first time eating in a restaurant?' I was shocked by such a disrespectful comment. I have dined in restaurants across Asia, Europe, & North America & have never been treated this way.
To make matters worse, when we asked for two takeout containers, we were only given one. When we requested another container, the server returned & combined two completely different dishes into a single box instead. Not only was this unprofessional, but it was also unpleasant & ruined the remaining food we wanted to take home. (BTW most of the food served taste old except for veggies & shrimp dumpling)
Customer service should be based on respect & hospitality. Unfortunately, this experience was the exact opposite. I will not be returning & cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.
