Dynastie delivers a robust exploration of Szechuan culinary traditions through a meticulously curated menu of high-heat stir-fries and aromatic spice-forward preparations. The kitchen emphasizes the complex interplay of peppercorns and dried chiles, resulting in dishes defined by their characteristic numbing heat and depth of flavor. Diners encounter a selection of authentic preparations featuring proteins prepared with traditional wok techniques that preserve textural integrity and sear. The environment functions as a focused space dedicated to the delivery of intense flavor profiles typical of Southwestern Chinese gastronomy. Every plate demonstrates a commitment to bold seasonings and the precise application of essential aromatics. This establishment provides a direct, no-nonsense approach to classic regional cooking for those seeking uncompromising authenticity in every bite.
Dynastie offers a generally reliable dining experience known for its extensive late-night hours and authentic Cantonese cuisine. While many guests enjoy the tasty, well-portioned dishes and appreciate the clean and comfortable atmosphere, feedback regarding service remains inconsistent, ranging from exceptionally friendly to inattentive or even confrontational in some instances. The menu features several standout items, though consistency in food preparation and order accuracy can occasionally fluctuate. Overall, the establishment is frequently viewed as a convenient and solid destination for Chinese food, particularly for those seeking a meal well past typical dining hours, despite some mixed experiences with specific staff members and dish quality.
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.
C'était une recommandation d'un ami Chinois d'y aller. On s'est solidement régalé.
Soupe congee & dumpling aux crevettes pour entrées, boeuf brocoli & poulet épicé comme plats principaux. Tout était bon, mais le poulet était juste parfait; croustillant, savoureux, oumami! & avec une bonne dose de piment sichuanais.
Ce resto est un favori instantané pour ma copine & moi!
Bonsoir, j'ai commandé un plat de côte de boeuf sel & poivre mais impossible à manger car chaque bouchée que je prenais, il y avait beaucoup d'huile dans ma bouche à un point que cela ne se mangeait pas malheureusement. Oui, le goût est là, mais c'est assez dangereux de se trouver à avaler autant d'huile pour chaque bouchée. J'ai dû partager cela à la personne qui servait, ils m'ont dit ok on va vous donner autre chose finalement, ce qu'ils ont fait ils m'ont redonné le tout qui a été simplement camouflé par une bonne sauce au miel. J'ai demandé plusieurs fois à la dame si elle est sûre que c'est un autre plat sans panure , elle m'a assuré que oui mais finalement ce n'était pas le cas. Malheureusement, je ne peux le manger. Je pense bien qu'il y a des plats satisfaisants à cet endroit mais mon expérience fût désagréable. Surtout je n'ai pas apprécié le manque de transparence . Au final, il est fort probable qu'il y a des plats appétissants mais les plats panés peuvent être difficiles à manger avec autant d'huile qui reste dans la bouche.D'autant plus que mon plat fût dispendieux. Malheureusement, je ne recommanderais pas ce restaurant mais cela peut valoir la peine d'avoir sa propre expérience.

Edit: it's been over a year since my review & I find them very inconsistent. I don't remember a take-out order that didn't have a mistake. On all different occasions: We order a beef stew, & got a broccoli beef saute… we order a steam chicken, & got roasted chicken… we order rice noodles, & get choy mien…
ALWAYS OPEN YOUR BAG before leaving. After the first couple times, I realized that if I didn't open the bag every single time, I would be hellah disappointed & annoyed. Might just stop ordering cause the food's not a showstopper.

Had friends from Ottawa come visit & brought them here. Everything was delicious. Lobster, salt & pepper shrimp & squid, fried fish with soy sauce, snow pea leaves were tasty & satisfying!! Eggplant with Japanese tofu was the best cause the eggplant was fresh & tender! The General Tao chicken was overcooked & a bit hard though. & the crisped chicken with the puffed chips was also quite dry. Overall, very pleasant experience!! Would recommend ordering fish, pork, beef; just not so convinced about the chicken options unless it's the typical steamed chicken with ginger shallots because it's more juicy.
We dined as a group of three & unfortunately experienced the worst customer service I've ever encountered. From the moment we walked in, we were met with attitude. We were not offered water, & despite clearly informing the staff that one of our friends has a life-threatening onion allergy, this was completely ignored.
Our calamari was served with raw onions, forcing us to send it back, & we were met with more attitude instead of concern or an apology. When we asked for ketchup, the staff laughed at us. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was seeing another table-who appeared to share a similar background-being treated significantly better.
The most unacceptable moment came when we went to pay. We chose not to leave a tip due to the service, & the staff member literally screamed at us. This was completely unprofessional & inappropriate.
Between the lack of basic hospitality, disregard for a serious allergy, & aggressive behavior, this was an awful experience. I strongly recommend avoiding this place.
it's open till late, super late. food was okay. the cuttlefish fry was great. wonton soup was great too. beef & coriander soup was below average. hargaw was eh okay-ish.
service was good. fast & reliable. they also recommended the popular items.
