I know Dynasty is not the pinnacle of Chinese cuisine, but it does have a patio and could seat 9, which worked for my family. Food was overall good, with flavours being a bit on the too subtle side. It was a bit weird to have disposable plates when just a few feet away, separated by a glass window, people were dining with standard dinnerware. And it was all pretty pricey, which is what you get for eating out in Yorkville.
- mushroom and snow pea leaf dumplings (from the dim sum menu) - quite nice, very fall-apart though
- Salt and pepper squid - beautifully cooked, but a bit low on the salt and garlic flavour
- Salt and pepper smelts - also pleasan
- Roasted duck - great flavour all the way through, crispy skin
- Cantonese chow mein - unremarkable, but good for the kids
- Flat rice noodle and beef - one of the better dishes, lots of wok hay
- Snow pea leaves - good
- Crabmeat and broccoli - good texture, although not that flavourful
- Scallops and asparagus - similarly well-executed, if a bit underflavoured
- Sweet and sour chicken - another kid request, decent
- Rainbow chopped in crystal fold with pork - nice but there was a predominance of sautéed onion
