    We are Din Tai Fung regulars and have wanted to check out Paradise Dynasty since it opened. Dumplings are delicious and juicy, on par with Din Tai Fung. Paradise Dynasty really shines with its other entrees. We ordered the shrimp noodles and green beans, both just truly delicious. Also ordered the lychee martini and it was amazing! Taro baos were another highlight, really buttery yet light. Highly recommend Paradise Dynasty if you’re in the area. Restaurant noise is a little high, so would not recommend for folks with hearing issues.

    This is a wonderful restaurant. The artistically prepared food is delicious and so beautiful. I felt compelled to take pictures of every course. The ambiance is unique and private. The restaurant is spotless and the service is top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant even if you aren’t generally a vegan or vegetarian..

    Lettuce wraps were consistently good as always. Lo Mein was good too. I tried the new firecracker shrimp, and although the shrimp was tasty, it had too many peppers for my taste.

    Food was great - service everyone seemed to be to busy to acknowledge us or have time to bring us water or take our order. 15-17 mins after being seated and trying to flag someone done did our order get taken. The food did come in a reasonable time and it was hot. So that was good! The place was not busy so I can’t use that as an excuse for the delay or lack of attention
