My husband and I went for lunch. The atmosphere was of a tacky fast food restaurant with a formal cost! Silly mural on the wall. Metal and uncomfortable chairs, very loud. Food was ok. With a tip, our lunch cost over $100.00!!Never again! Go to New Lims for value and taste! FYI, my husband is Chinese and he knows his food! Save your money! This place is so not worth it!!
Customer wait-list management is a disaster.I had to wait more than 20 min just to get on a paper wait list and then it's another 20 min to get a table. Waiting is fine because I understand some restaurants are more popular than they have capacity for but why having to wait just to get on a waiting list? Can we just have a sign up sheet to front so we don't have to wait for someone to take our name down? Thanks
We loved Dynasty Bistro and came back to find out that it’s been taken over by East Ocean. They said it was originally owned by them but they renamed it. It was very confusing. It was our place for the last year and it was so good. We weren’t told when we ordered off the same menu that anything had changed until we came in to pickup. It was very confusing seeing a new sign and a new dim sum menu. It’s also now a seafood restaurant. That was odd. Sadly the food was very bland and tasteless. We were very disappointed. We spent a lot of money and the cost went up too. It was $133. The yellow curry noodles were bland, the honey shrimp and tofu veggies had no flavor and the fried rice was different. The orange chicken, Rangoon’s and fried chicken was ok. It just wasn’t the same and missing the flavors, seasoning and salt. Very disappointing and very expensive. We won’t go back again. I wish it would go back to Dynasty Bistro. We liked the food and Sammy was nice.
Finally! A wonderful restaurant in Contra Costa County! I love the Lobster Noodles and Pea Sprouts with Roasted Garlic. Sooo yummy! Much better than the previous owner and restaurant. Good service and delicious food. Just as great as the Grand Alameda location
Tried this for lunch today, the best one was the shrimp and chive dumplings. The gin doey (sesame balls) were tiny, the same size as the siu mai but the filling was red bean and not lotus as advertised. Siu mai were tasty! Would like to see them add don tat to the menu, over all a good place for lunch.
I came with my family today for brunch. They just opened in Walnut Creek after serving Alameda for forever. Might take them a little while to get up to speed with their food and training the service team to the busy and demanding times but I’m happy to see that they survived the pandemic and try their best to improve and please the crowds when so busy. Welcome to the area! Always delicious food and rockstar manager, David :)
Best Dim Sum in the East Bay, now in Walnut Creek at the Dynasty Bistro from East Ocean Seafood Restaurant in Alameda. Been waiting for a closer location for dim sum for year. Been going to the original one for years. Excellent food and service. Never have any issues. Great friendly staff. Love it.
Absolutely delightful to know this place has good quality Chinese food. I am picky with bitter melon scrambled egg dish. This one is above expectation. Good fluffy consistency and not burnt. Bitter melon has good texture and not overly bitter or soggy. My coworkers all took a bite and loved the taste. Hot and sour soup hit the spot as well. It might be slight pricier than average Chinese eateries around town but their food quality is channeling big restaurant vibe. Good “wok fire” is the basic requirement to great Chinese dishes. This place has it.
Tried this newly opened restaurant in Walnut Creek next to Sports Basement.Excellent diem sum as well as other traditional Hong Kong style dishes.We have been lifelong patrons of the original East Ocean Seafood restaurant in Alameda. Variety of dishes offered at Walnut Creek location isn't as extensive, however, all dishes that they do offer is as good in quality & taste!Only other difference is that prices at W.C. location run about 20% higher (likely due to the higher rent they have to pay!<)).
Really wanted to like this place. Food is just ok. Ordered HK style crispy noodles with shrimp and ck, $16.50 and I got 4 (31-40 size small shrimps) and lots of chicken. Mushroom with bok Choy was good, but for $15.95, expected more portion. Got the imitation meat kung pao ck, the imitation meat is probably one of the worst tasting ones we’ve had, and we’ve had many from all over the world - It’s bland and watery and nothing like real ck. We also got s&p tofu, that was good, but again, for $13.95, expected more (most places charge $8). Brown rice is $3.75 for a small bowl.Service was nice, almost a little too much as I was approached twice just walking by glancing at their menu OUTSIDE.Overall impressions, food was bland (even for my standards), pricey and portion is a little small for the price. Service is good if that’s what you’re looking for, which is rare for Chinese restaurants.
