Reviews for Dim Sum Dynasty in Ridgewood, NJ
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 provincesthat are better than this. First I ordered the pan fried noodles with chicken and the quality of the chicken was so bad, thatthe 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 emittedan ominously sweet smell, unsurprisingly it tasted worse than any soup dumpling that I ever had. After that debacle we wereserved the steamed pork dumplings that were nearly inedible, with an absurd amount of dough that covered the minuscule amount ofnasty pork filling within. While the waiters seemed somewhat attentive (we were the only table in the restaurant and werestaring at us the whole meal), failed to notice we stopped eating 5 minutes after we got our full order served to us. Theyassumed that we wanted take out boxes and were quite cheerful and pleasant about the whole affair. That was until I left withoutgiving a tip, to which they ran out of the restaurant and angrily confronted us for doing so. As we hastily paced along as faraway as we possibly could on foot, we proceeded to throw away the left overs in the closest trash can. While I thought it wouldhave been a better idea to give the food to someone less fortunate, I didn’t want to give them food poisoning and an unsavorytaste in their mouth. I cannot stress enough how wildly awful this restaurant has become. After looking at new more recentreviews it is probably due to a change in chef and ownership. This place isn’t even a shadow of its former self, it is aunrequited ghost that clings on to the physical world. This place honestly needs to be checked by a health inspect Read more
Came here with my boyfriend and wish we had seen the negative reviews before going. I think the only good thing we ate was our... soups. We ordered a house special lo mein and as we’re eating the chicken we realize it was spoiled chicken. We instantlycalled our waitress and she agreed that the chicken did not smell right. A restaurant should not be prepping and service spoiledfood let alone spoiled poultry. The crab money meat bags were stone hard and hard to bite into. Overall, not satisfied with whatwe ate, but our waitress was understanding and took the lo mein off the bill. Definitely not a place we’ll return to. Read more
SO BAD. We ordered $150 worth of food off Uber eats from here and threw about 90% in the garbage. The chicken was so stringy and... hard and the Rangoon and everything fried was solid as a rock like they deep fried it eight times over. Such a waste of money ,inedible ???????????? Read more
Food was awful except for their buns. salted egg creme, sweet custard, and red bean sesame buns were top notch. Everything else... was inedible including the jellyfish, sesame chicken, the crab meat money bags and more. Read more

Delicious food and reasonable price compared to Dim sum places in. China Town NYC. Ambience is okay. I gave 4 stars due to... street parking and slow service. Place is packed but only 3 people are waiting on tables. Read more

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 upstandingquality and flavor this place used to have. They don't even bring around a dim-sum cart anymore, which dosen't seem rightconcidering the name of the restaurant. Otherwise, the food was average. Dim sum was still nice, even if they didn't bring thecart over. Their seafood tasted fine, but nothing seemed to have any outstanding or unique flavor. Their bean curd was quitefilling and had decent flavor. Come here only if you're in the area, though maybe concider other options first. I'd want to seethis place improve in the future, but I don't see it as the "Dynasty" it once was. Read more
