Dynasty

Dynasty has EXCELLENT chow mein! It is decent portion size and great taste. The combination pan fried noodle is drenched in delicious flavor, and they make the ends crunchy. The staff is very friendly. They are often pretty busy during the winter season, but try their best to get you seated, ordered, and food at your table as quickly as they can. I highly recommend!

One of my favorite places in big bear. Very classic mom and pop Chinese American cuisine. It can be greasy and salty but in a way that tastes really good. The szechuan eggplant was very tasty and A-choy, szechuan fried chicken (辣子鸡丁), and beef chow fun (干炒牛河) were both tasty and pretty authentic. The beef chow fun is probably one of the best I’ve had in a while. I think the interior is very cozy but some might find it dingy. I definitely recommend takeout if the interior doesnt appeal to you. There is also a lobster tank in front for fresh lobster dishes (when they are available).

Extremely happy with Dynasty restaurant !! Great working crew, all the way from the owner Barry, to super, sweet, efficient waitress, Mia, and the delivery guys, Sean and Richard!! ..all are personable, polite and friendly! Now, on to the food...it's delicious...my personal favorite is the minced shrimp on lettuce...it's fantastic!! I do like a hot and spicy dish once in awhile, and Barry will oversee to make sure the temp. is just right for your tasting pleasure. All the dishes are authentic Mandarin, and you can add or delete ingredients according to your palate, Barry is that accommadating! You can't go wrong if you've got a craving for some good Chinese/Mandarin food, try Dynasty...you won't be disappointed !!

One of my favorites for the past 15 years! My mom's and mine go-to dish: PooPoo platter for 2 + sizzling shrimp/rice soup. Never disappoints and the owner is really chill and staff always friendly and accommodating.

Hey guys, if you think that Panda Express is what Chinese food is supposed to be like, don’t leave any review here. These guys are serving more authentic and seriously delicious Chinese dishes that one would never expect to encounter in a remote place like Big Bear Lake. Guys, I am serious, this is an amazing restaurant that I found by surprise. Their dishes are more authentic than what Americans normally get from Chinese restaurants. If you want to experience real Chinese food around Big Bear, I bet that you won’t find anything better than this in the vicinity. Stop complaining about being late on delivery. If you want real food, every second that you wait will pay off. I am serious. I don’t think that the low Google rating of this restaurant is all that justified, if your focus is really on food. Highly recommended, if you are looking for a more authentic Chinese cuisine around Big Bear Lake.

Service was phenomenal. Food was delicious. The BBQ pork was on point & the serving size was huge! This restaurant will definitely be on the list of go-tos when we're visiting Big Bear. Thanks Dynasty for making our lunch memorable. Well done 👏 A+

This is our 3rd time coming, and we should have given this place 5 stars the last two times. Today, there were 8 of us, so we ordered the salt & pepper wings, bbq pork, pan fried dumplings, Mongolian beef, combo fried rice, combo Chow mein, the honey walnut shrimp, and the orange chicken. Everything was fantastic! 5 stars

Was looking for some Chinese food up here as we have been to a lot of other types of Restraunts around and we have not been disappointed with any of them. So we had a craving for some Chinese food and this place is the only one up here. We liked the service as well as the food we ordered and got plenty of it even to take home. The place looks to have been around awhile but going to have to say was well worth eating here.

To think I was seeking Panda Express. I ended up ordering from an authentic Chinese restaurant. Great food! Great service! Didn't wait long for my huge $98 order. I made 1 special request and was cheerfully given their blessing. At the Panda, they frown on me and NEVER EVER honor my request. DYNASTY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GREAT FOOD! YOUR SERVERS WERE PLEASANT, POLITE. AND HARD WORKERS. Pretty too!!

Ordered delivery via phone an hour before closing, so happy they took our order! Offered to even deliver it to our room. Food was so tasty, soups came hot, got wonton and seafood hot pot soup. Beef and broccoli, and cucumber salad. All very delicious. The cucumber salad is cut cucumbers in a marinade like sauce.

Instead of waiting on a list for 2 hours at all the usual places, come to this hidden gem. Great food, great drinks, great service. Steamed dumplings, Beef chow fun and general tso's chicken were the highlights. Family friendly!

I truly love this place. I always call in when I’m here in big Bear. My husband has gluten allergies and they always serve it the exact way I requested. I wish I could get that in Orange County lol thank you so much for respecting our request and allergies.

very good food and chill spot get the szechuan dan dan noodles 😉

We ordered thru the phone and it was ready for pick up in 15 mins. It was delicious!

Great food, amazing service. The waitress wasn’t very good with English, but that is ok and understandable. Had no problems whatsoever, and received a good fortune in my fortune cookie. Would recommend it.

We eat here every time we visit Big Bear. We always have great service and really good food! Tonight was a repeat performance!!

I have eaten in this restaurant many times, but my recent experience deserved a review. I ordered delivery close to their closing time. But they still were willing to deliver. I got two shrimp entrees with rice and egg rolls. The shrimp dishes were great! We shared and even had leftovers. They even included soy sauce, and sauce for the egg rolls, as well as cutlery and chopsticks, and fortune cookies! Highly recommend their food, and great service!

My husband and I are long time locals, and have really avoided it for YEARS after a bad experience. I have to say how happy I am that we gave it another try, because everything was incredible. My only regret was that we didn’t warn the server our son is allergic to shrimp, so he misses out on the incredible shrimp soup that came with our meals. Portions are large, so I suggest thinking about “family style” dining. We will definitely be going back in the future any time we are craving good chinese food!

great vegetable tofu soup and veggie fried rice..

Seems hit and miss on reviews, our experience was great. It's American style Chinese food, so if that isn't what you're looking for you probably won't like it. Portions were generous, food quality was good (mains were excellent, the rice was slightly overcooked but also takeaway so could have just waited too long), servers were great, service was super quick.

Truly impressive dinner experience. The owner even provided birthday noodle for free when she learned we have a b-day to celebrate.

Came in late around 8:30 when Google stated they closed at 9. Friendly staff helped us and we had great service. We ordered the Dynasty Combination for two with Mongolian Beef and Orange Chicken (as the waiter said it was his favorite). Lovely meal and good presentation.

I have always had a great meal here. I particularly like the Sweet and Sour pork.

Matt was awesome he even greeted my Husband and my dad, happy father's day! The food was delicious. It was an authentic Chinese food.

Been going here for a couple years. Good spot for The standard American Chinese food. Friendly and attentive. Many items to choose from. Never had a bad meal here.

The food was amazing! Waiter was welcoming and food came out in a good amount of time. Everything tasted wonderful, Good priced food.

We ordered takeout for a family dinner and was very impressed with the items we ordered! We ordered Orange Chicken, Broccoli and Beef, Steamed Dumplings, Chow Fun, Kung Pau Chicken and String beans, every dish tasted amazing! The food was so delicious that we ordered it again the following night! When picking up our orders the staff was extremely friendly and helpful with everything we needed! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Always enjoy the food! My fave place to eat in big bear . Great service as always !

Awesome! Has most authentic Chinese food up the hill but also has orange chicken type dishes too!

Great food!! The duck is amazing also the salt and pepper chicken wings... Update today the chicken fried rice is so awesome!

The food and service here were great. Got a variety of orange chicken, sweet and sour shrimp and a few others.

Holy Smokes! So much food and service is so perfectly timed! Try the scorpion if you're over 21 ;). The ambiance is soothing and conducive to a comfortable dinner in an intimate setting. Sooo much food:)! And all delicious!!

Friendly staff, quick (15-20 mins) for take out when ordered outside rush times. Dine in also had reasonable wait times. The Hunan Lamb and Pork with Shredded Bean Curd are some of my favorite dishes.

Food was delicious. We had the sweet and sour chicken and the salt amd pepper chicken with white rice. Best we have ever had. Customer service was excellent. Thank you.

My MIL and I met Barry when he opened Mandarin Gardens at the Big Bear Airport sometime after 1987. We had built our home in Fawnskin after the Pope/ Rozelle family bought property in 1957! My husband family and myself started going to Barry’s restaurant in 1987 at the Big Bear Airport! We lived walking up to this magnificent restaurant. We followed Aimee and Barry’s gorgeous daughter to the Evergreen Restaurant where we had magnificent views of the lake. The greatest family I have ever met in Big Bear Lake, the Rojas if Sonora Cantina and OCI, suggested I go to Dynasty Restaurant! I decided to but then a GC there! Matt, from China, who has lived here five or more years, confirmed that Barry was the owner of the Mandirin Garden's Restaurant I went to for years before he closed. Of course, he did not recognize me as I have not seen him since the early nineties, but I remembered his enthusiasm and charm! Many people from the Dick Kun, Snow Summit Era remember going to Mandarin Gardens! It was the hottest place in the late eighties and early nighties! It was such a joy to see Barry again, as he is ageless, even though he had knee surgery at Loma Linda Hospital! He is such a magnificent chef, and still remains so energetic! Although we spend six months here and six in the desert, I thank Maria Rojas for referring me to this excellent restaurant! My husband absolutely lived the sweet and sour chicken and I loved my appetizers! Barry is such an energetic man who seems twenty years younger than his age!’ He so enjoys cooking for his regulars, and goes out of his way to accommodate people, like Maria Rojas, who sometimes wants a special dish! I feel so bad that I did not know that Barry had opened this magnificent, very affordable, Chinese restaurant! Maria Rojas has been one of Barry’s best advocates! I had the better rolls I had ever eaten, and my husband said that the sweet and sour chicken was too much, but he ate it all! I just cannot tell how great Barry is, so kind, friendly, dear, gracious and his prices are, unbelievably, low! Matt, his waiter from China whose wife lives in Los Angeles, is so friendly, and kind! Just a young, kind young man who is so gracious living in Big Bear Lake, the greatest community for multiethnic, hard working people! I usually dine at Sonora Cantina or OCI, but I plan to dine at Dynasty when we return from the desert! Again, I hope people visit this restaurant! Amazingly inexpensive dining! Friendliest staff!!!! Retired teacher, counseling, school administrator! Rooms full of awards! Nothing makes me feel better than honoring hard working people who deserve recognition for their accomplishments! We all need to honor the kindest people we meet in the restaurant and business industry!

A unique Chinese restaurant in the heart of BigBear. Very good food and lots of choices. Service was solid with friendly staff. The restaurant itself has wonderful character with unique Oriental décor. Great for sit-down/ dine in or take out. A top choice in Big Bear!

It was fantastic, lots to choose from on the menu. Great portion, I believe we ordered too much but it's worth it 👍. Our server was very kind and keep checking on us, so glad we came, food is so delicious thanks Dynasty 😍

Food was delicious. Excellent customer service. Thank you.

I had a great experience here. The salt & pepper chicken wings were some of the best I’ve ever had—crispy and full of flavor. The egg flour soup was delicious, and the egg fried rice was perfectly seasoned. The fried wontons were incredible. The chicken and broccoli dish was just okay; the broccoli was nicely crisp but lacked flavor, as did the chicken. I was hoping for a sweet treat, but the vanilla ice cream wasn’t available. Still, the service was excellent—our waitress was friendly and attentive. Overall, a solid spot with standout dishes worth trying.

A very nice atmosphere, the service is okay. The pork was perfect. I'm a student of authentic Chinese cuisine, and this place nails it. The prices are good too, compared to other places in Big Bear especially for the portion and effort poured into the food. Update: I tried the Buddha fest and it's nice and flavorful.

Went to Big Bear on Labor day weekend and it was busy at the Village so we walked half a mile to this restaurant. It was surprisingly good (just don't order the lychee martini not good). Had the scrambled egg shrimp, kung pao chicken, salt pepper wings (such a hit), fried rice, beef chowfun. There were only 2 people who worked the tables and the food came out quick

I came in for lunch and had a nice meal. When I first walked in the front patio seemed very scrappy and dirty, but walked into a nice large restaurant with many large comfortable booths & tables. It was two in the afternoon on Wednesday, and I was the only one there. I started with a lychee martini and I must say, it had a very strange taste. I didn’t quite recognize it because it did not taste like lychee should. I switched to a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Then I started with the cucumber salad, which was nice. Prepared with a nice garlic sauce with big chunks. Then I ordered the chicken curry and although it was pretty darn good, it did not really have that much curry flavor, which was disappointing. There was a lot of tender chicken in it so overall it was a very good dish. I just wanted more curry flavor. Pretty decent prices with large portions. Service was friendly and efficient. Very large menu.

Guys, I’m not kidding I think is the best chinese food I had in USA, just perfectly crafted and fresh. I went in Asia last year in HK and the food is exactly on the same level. Added some pics here. 5 stars

The food is surprisingly good, really like the waitress. Orders come out fast and the prices are fair for Big Bear and the portions help. Some of the best Chinese food I've had and the only one in Big Bear. The inside is nice and it's got a nice vibe to it. Parking can be tricky so go to the very back.

The food here was absolutely incredible. The beef skewers, honey walnut shrimp and twice cooked pork belly was amazing. Food came out super quick. We got 3 dishes between 2 of us and left stuffed. They are short staffed so I found it quite incredible most of our visit there was one gentleman doing it all. Taking orders, delivery food, picking up plates and processing payments. All while being super polite and helpful, he is full of great food recommendations. Definitely a must try, the food was so amazing I forgot to take pictures of everything.

This is easily the best Chinese food in Southern California! It was such a pleasant surprise to discover this in Big Bear of all places. My recommended dishes are too many to count. The chicken wings and beef skewers are to die for. Lettuce wraps are fantastic. Dynasty also has one of the best duck dishes and the Lamb Hot Pot is a must try, especially on a cold day. The place is super unassuming and affordable, it's the food that makes it a winner. The portions are massive and delicious, staff is extremely nice and friendly. Dynasty is a must try hidden gem, family-owned and has been in town for over 20 years. We've eaten here maybe 100 times and the food has never disappointed and always left us craving to come back.

My dad, and us, have been going to this restaurant since we were 6 years old. The hot and sour soup is the BEST. My dad at 67 years old got sick for the 1st time in his life. Bob Varga, if you live in big bear you know. I now live in Louisiana and called this beautiful place I used to eat at as a child. They delivered a beautiful meal to him and helped me decide what would be good. My dad loves this place and already feels better. Thanks for taking care of my rock star!!!!

Hello everyone, I just wanna give a shout out Jing amazing service and amazing food. Try the boiling beef and fish. It is to die for. I’ve actually been there multiple times and everything I’ve tried has been excellent. Really good quality. I actually look forward to having lunch every time I visit Big Bear. Thank you Jing for your amazing service.

After a full day of skiing at 27 degrees I craved egg drop soup, this place delivered fresh hot soup, perfect in every way, I also had the beef low mein, which came fast, very delicious, I couldn't take pictures since they charged my phone without hesitation. The plum wine contained a large soaked plum, my Birthday treat.

My husbands daughter lives out of state and called to have dinner delivered to us because we both are sick. The man said he knew us and helped her making the choices for our meal did not ask for a tip and delivered it himself from BBL to Fawnskin !!! It was so kind and delicious so grateful for small town ❤️🙏👍

I was absolutely shocked by how good the food was. Service was a little slow but the taste of the food, cost the portions, etcetera made up for it. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would find good Chinese food in a tiny little town like big bear.

I love the food here. I always get the Sweet and Sour Pork. The Lamb cumin was great. The server didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Friendly staff, quick (15-20 mins) for take out when ordered outside rush times. Dine in also had reasonable wait times. The Hunan Lamb and Pork with Shredded Bean Curd are some of my favorite dishes.

After eating here I can say that the food is indeed very good and the environment is very relaxing. The staff was as attentive as possible with it being a busy saturday. Anyone that enjoys authentic chinese, definitely stop by when in big bear. Always support the locals, don’t bother with the food chains!

Came in with a large party and they accommodated us quickly. Food was extremely good but the portions could have been bigger . Food is very fresh and customer service was okay . They had messed up on bill charging my card then coming back as we were leaving to say the had made a mistake on Bill and needed us to pay an additional $22.50 which we were okay with handed him $25 cash and never got my change. We just left i wasn't gonna wait on $2bucks . We do recommend this place only because the quality of the food was good . Thats why I'm only giving them four stars they would've got all five had they not messed up the bill .

I don't understand the poor reviews. Service was wonderful. Food was very good, vegetables were fresh and the meat was not mystery meat as described in other reviews. We were very happy with our dinner, the food exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Kung pao chicken and Szechwan beef both had the perfect amount of heat and sauce. We also ordered Egg Fu Young which tasted freshly made and was served with perfectly cooked broccoli. We will return on our next visit to Big Bear.

Ordered food to go. Food is decent but a little pricy. Staff are OK.

My kids wanted Chinese food for a change during our visit to Big Bear Lake. This restaurant is within walking distance from our hotel. So despite the look of the restaurant from outside, we gave it a try. The food was surprisingly good with generous portion. The menu offers good options as well. My kids ate more than normal. If the restaurant interior were updated and better cleaned, I would’ve given it 5 stars.

On our first visit to Big Bear Lake, we had lunch at this Chinese restaurant. We originally planned to go to a Japanese restaurant next door, but it had closed down, so we went here instead. The restaurant staff spoke Mandarin with a northern Chinese accent, and they were also speaking Chinese with the kitchen staff, so the chefs were probably Chinese too! We ordered two kinds of noodles and a lamb dish, and surprisingly, the taste was quite good, although the portions were a bit small. The restaurant was a bit old, but clean! If you've had too much Western food at Big Bear Lake, you might want to try the Chinese food here.

Small portion so that is why I gave 4 of 5 stars. Flavors are very good and delisious. $44 for two people for 3 tiny dishes and we didnt even order drinks. Life is expensive when you are a tourist I guess

Never been charged of a rice. When ordering a Kung pro. Interesting charge

The food was good but then i got to my beef skewers and glad i pulled it apart cause there was a very long hair cooked with the beef. Food very good thou just sucks

I do enjoy my big bear Chinese, but tonight service was really really slow. I always leave a tip, but when it gets bad then I don't. I was already got into the car and my kids slow behind the lady the had the audacity to say something to my son like oh your mom forgot a tip. Rude!

Not much food was ordered, so I don’t know how well there food is, but I can definitely say this place was completely empty. We walked in and only one couple was sitting down at a booth. My mother and I ordered Hot & Sour soup, which was good, but I don’t think either of us were all that impressed with the place.

Very disappointed. My daughter and I Got take out for my birthday a couple years ago. The chicken Fried rice was SO bland as was the orange chicken. I can get a better sweet hot chicken at Stater Bros. I’ve lived in Big Bear 23 years and Really miss having good Asian food up here. It’s used to be good at the airport restaurant. I really want to try again but I really hate to waste my money.

Tried to get take out while in Big Bear but plates are bit expensive and watch out for the overpricing and over taxing on the order my order was 84 with 4 stuff and another order was 84 with 3 stuff while we were ordering we saw a rat go inside the restaurant I had to cancel and leave

We ordered here with kind of low expectations, expecting mediocre Chinese takeout. I can honestly say that I've never in my life had such tasteless chinese food. We ordered beef fried rice, sweet and sour pork, wonton soup, and the salt and pepper wings. The wings were actually pretty good, but everything else was terrible. Absolutely tasteless, as if they never used salt(which is odd for a chinese place). Maybe it's an anomaly, but we didn't even finish our food because it was so bad.

We came to Big Bear and found this restaurant, the current rating seems to be pretty good so we stop by to eat. The food taste terrible. Sweet and sour is too sweet and too sour, the tomatos egg is kind of flavorless. The portions were small. My sister and my niece's friend got food poisoning and didn't feel good after. I really wouldn't suggest this place.

They forgot my drink and I had to let my food get cold while trying to find the waiter. The shrimp didn't have much flavor so it tasted fishy. The chow mein was really oily so I couldn't eat much to get full. They only had hot green tea that has tons of leaves to eat with each drink which I usually like the black tea. I either don't like authentic Chinese food or this wasn't authentic enough.

The food was okay but definitely not worth the wait or the service. Don’t expect anyone to help you be seated, you need to forcefully make urself known to even get a refill or the tab. They’re lucky for the 2 stars or even the tip.

Chinese restaurant is known for best fried rice but ours is just an old rice with soy sauce! You will have sugar in sweet and sour pork… and I mean literally sugar! The chicken in the soup is very bad taste like old old chicken! There is no difference in the taste of cold green tea and cold water! Very bad experience! And take note if u will eat here u jave to ask if the tip is included because if you will ask the waiter why it overpriced… he will just tell u the tax os included and when u calculate it u u will see its really expensive and that u will know that tip is included

After we had our appetizers. Three Roaches came out from under the booth. We got up, told our server. He offered to move us to another booth....We just did not want anything, but to leave. We offered to pay for what we ate to that point. He declined our offer. In the parking lot another person approached us and offered us a 30% discount....What's that based on....10% a roach?

In summary we had to ask for a refund after trying four different dishes and the owner of the place stating to never come back... always check the reviews!! The server was nice to us the whole way thru tho. The food was bland and the chicken tasted almost raw, same for the shrimp. They all had no smell and the size was beyond small for the price, I'm glad I didn't have my hopes up because it was awful. We tried to order a different dish this time around hoping it'd better and asked for ones which typically don't fail but to no one suprise they failed. I usually never ask for refund but after all that it was a must. After the ordeal of asking the server, the owner stated to me across the room "i've been here 13 years, never come back to my store" which didn't need to be told. I wasn't after that. I hope people do check on reviews more often cause I didn't. Definitely will from now on.

Do not go here. I'm not being a Karen. Service was fine. Prices are expensive and the food terrible. Steam dumplings were wilted and tastelesa, and the bed of cabbage underneath them was far beyond wilted; it looked like a day or two old. Sweet & sour chicken at least wasn't doused in the sauce as I asked, but I doubt they change out the oil in the fryers very often. You can smell the old grease. The steamed rice was good.

Do not order out or dine in here if you're not Chinese ! Me and my wife sat in the restaurant and watched many Chinese people (All due respect to the Chinese people) dine in get their food. Also saw many come in and pick up their food. Also saw many people dining in finish their food and then order some to go successfully. Just saying. Then again, you can always find out for yourself.

Food was ok, we ordered wonton soup for 4 servings there were only 2 shrimps. We paid $80+ not included drinks.

Had a horrible experience. I was overcharged for food that was listed at a lower price. When I spoke to the younger guy with glasses who took my order, he got very angry when I asked him about it. He told me it's "too late" and that my food was "almost ready", this was after he ignored me several times. I then waited 20 more minutes for my food. I understand that working at a restaurant can be overwhelming at times but it's no way to treat a customer. Food was bland, save your money and go somewhere else! this place is not worth the headache.

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, we ordered the combination pan fried noodles, chicken, chow mein, Mongolian, beef, and Kong pao chicken. The noodles were still hard and uncooked. It seem dough the noodles were just mixed with the sauce and thrown in the to go box. The rest of the food was also not good either. We didn’t get any condiments, utensils, or napkins. I definitely do not recommend this place for both service and food. I gave one star.

This is out of character for me, but here it goes. Bad news. This is what happens when a restaurant owner just doesn’t care anymore. Also when I don’t read the reviews first! My Airbnb owner recommended this place….uggg. What a shame. From the time you walk in it screams get out - fast! Filthy doors and windows. Dead plants. Old used wine bottles stacked everywhere with more dust than the Sahara. Literally everything was dirty. How do they pass inspections? If the front of the house is this awful, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. We had ordered to go so I picked up the food, but ended up throwing it away as it was partially burnt and didn’t look right. I may have saved all of us a very uncomfortable evening.

ordered take out - took 30 minutes longer than they said it would, had to wait in the restaurant (which was creepy) food was gross. mystery meat gross. was seriously concerned i might get food poisoning do not eat here

Came here for our daughters birthday. Two waiters seated us. The lady took our order. I told the man waiter it was our daughters birthday and he said he would take care of it. Food came. It was okay, portions were on the small side. Then our check came, no birthday. I went to the other room with the check. I saw the man waiter and asked him what happened? He got very mad and said they got too busy, his boss had just told him he had to be faster. The lady server came over and I started to explain and he jumps in and raises his voice saying it's not his fault he just didn't have time. The lady told him to be quiet and leave. No apology. We just moved to Big Bear and the whole incident left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm just glad my daughter and the other guests didn't see this ugly incident.

Worst food we have ever had at a Chinese place. My husband was getting sick in the parking lot from the appetizers before the food even came. overpriced for 2 people and a child over a $100. Our kid has been sick all day from the food last night. Would not recommend this place to anyone. I would rather eat at Taco Bell.

I think this place takes full advantage of the fact that there aren't many, if any, other Chinese places in big bear. I ordered honey walnut shrimp and they were over fried to the point of being inedible. Fried rice was bad as well. Place is wildly expensive too. Beware.

Very bad service, plus they overcharge you. Check your bill; they include the tip, and the taxis are very expensive. I'll never go back.

Restaurant was dirty, and cluttered. The food was mediocre at best. The server was rude to us when asking us how we wanted to split the check. The worst part of it all was the server trying to shame myself and my party for not giving him a tip. He asked us 3 times over for a tip including using the phrase, “you seriously don’t want to tip?”.

The place was dirty. The tables were sticky, the floor looked like it had not been cleaned, and the overall environment was unpleasant.

Restaurant was dirty there was mold under the air conditioning unit. And cluttered poor service were not seated for at least 5 minutes upon arrival. Food took 30 minutes to arrive and tasted unpleasant. Furthermore the service was beyond abysmal with our server being very rude as he repeatedly harassed us for tips despite poor service and was threatening please just eat at grizzly bear manor cafe.

Worst Chinese food I've ever had. The shrimp was undercooked, food was very bland. The noodles were like a thick spaghetti noodle. Way overpriced. We waited almost 30 minutes for our takeout.

I went there last night for dinner with my girlfriend and her kids last night was the worst service that we had usually when me and my girlfriend go we’re in and out of there in 30-45 minutes last night after getting shit it took him about 20 minutes just for them to come over and order our drinks and now they’re 10 minutes for them just to get it in mind you there’s only two other tables at this place has so it’s not busy. It took about an hour to 20 minutes after getting our drinks for them to come take our order. They brought out our bowls for our soup, but took forever to bring it to us. We are there for a total almost 2 hours then when we paid our bill, my girlfriend didn’t leave a tip because how bad of a service it was then the server had the audacity to say something to my girlfriend son saying that your mom didn’t tip yeah of course you didn’t get no tip service so shitty and everything took so long sorry but I tip on service and performance

The staffs don’t have time to clean a table for a single customer even though there are many empty tables for parties of 2+. They were not busy to the point where this seemed unavoidable. It seems this restaurant chooses not to serve solo diners, so I don’t recommend coming here alone.

i am a chinese myself and had a very bad experience here. rude male staff, not friendly and barely any service. forced us to tip on the already very overpriced meal. bill was in chinese so people need to watch out and read carefully. do not recommend anyone to come.
