Dim Sum Dynasty - Ridgewood

I’m not sure where all these negative reviews are coming from. The servers were super friendly and attentive. We ordered from the dim sum menu, and the food was delicious! They spaced each dish out perfectly so they always came out hot and fresh, right when we were ready for the next one.

Service was nice and friendly. We came in for Dim Sum; food is very bad, shrimp dumpling wasn’t fresh, we can tell it’s frozen, shumai is so so, beef tripes are way too salty. The worst of all is the seafood fried roll, very oily, and they taste very bad, a strong old-oil smell and no flavor at all, it said seafood but barely see any seafood at all, just dough and oil; we took a bite and i can’t even swallow it. Price is expensive for the poor food quality. Very disappointed

Used to be way better back then (5 years ago), chicken with broccoli was the only thing decent but it was room warm, the rice wasn't fresh, the beef chow fun was way too salty (though size and flavor was alright) but the fried rice was disappointing, salty and bland. Barely any shrimp and tasted purely like salt. Not worth the money, hope they find a new chief

I recall going to this restaurant a little over five years ago and it was honestly pretty good. Since then, the food quality is quite literally abysmal. I have been to China and have had better dim sum left in trash cans in the least relevant provinces that are better than this. First I ordered the pan fried noodles with chicken and the quality of the chicken was so bad, that the only way it was edible was if we dipped it in the over seasoned, over oiled wonton soup that me and my girlfriend ordered. Not to mention that the wontons in the soup were hard as a rock and tasted god awful. Next was the soup dumplings which emitted an ominously sweet smell, unsurprisingly it tasted worse than any soup dumpling that I ever had. After that debacle we were served the steamed pork dumplings that were nearly inedible, with an absurd amount of dough that covered the minuscule amount of nasty pork filling within. While the waiters seemed somewhat attentive (we were the only table in the restaurant and were staring at us the whole meal), failed to notice we stopped eating 5 minutes after we got our full order served to us. They assumed that we wanted take out boxes and were quite cheerful and pleasant about the whole affair. That was until I left without giving a tip, to which they ran out of the restaurant and angrily confronted us for doing so. As we hastily paced along as far away as we possibly could on foot, we proceeded to throw away the left overs in the closest trash can. While I thought it would have been a better idea to give the food to someone less fortunate, I didn’t want to give them food poisoning and an unsavory taste in their mouth. I cannot stress enough how wildly awful this restaurant has become. After looking at new more recent reviews it is probably due to a change in chef and ownership. This place isn’t even a shadow of its former self, it is a unrequited ghost that clings on to the physical world. This place honestly needs to be checked by a health inspector.

If you 'd want to come to a place for Chinese cuisine, I 'd concider this more of a last resort. The food was good, but not what it used to be. They used the serve amazing food pre-pandemic, bit returning so many years later there 's less of that upstanding quality and flavor this place used to have.They don 't even bring around a dim-sum cart anymore, which dosen 't seem right concidering the name of the restaurant.Otherwise, the food was average. Dim sum was still nice, even if they didn 't bring the cart over. Their seafood tasted fine, but nothing seemed to have any outstanding or unique flavor. Their bean curd was quite filling and had decent flavor.Come here only if you 're in the area, though maybe concider other options first. I 'd want to see this place improve in the future, but I don 't see it as the Dynasty it once was.
