What the community has to say about Dragon Dynasty Chinese Cuisine

Information from the business
English
November 07, 2011

Located in a suburban Scarborough mall, Dragon Dynasty is an upwardly mobile Cantonese eatery just check out all the late-model Mercedes, Lexus and Range Rovers in the parking lot. Dim sum is served daily until mid-afternoon, when the pricey seafood-heavy Cantonese menu takes over.

Scarborough locals who go once "always want to return" to this midpriced Mandarin for "tasty", "authentic" dim sum and mains ferried by "warm" servers in a Hong Kong–style dining room; though a popular choice for weddings and other gatherings, it's still a "place where you can enjoy a conversation while you dine."

Dragon Dynasty offers a well rounded dim sum menu. Compared to some other places, the atmosphere here is almost calm. And the service is courteous. The restaurant can be found tucked on one side of the newly renovated Chartland Mall. Order the big shrimp rice rolls and short ribs in black bean sauce. Writing by Amy Wong. Photo by Sifu Renka.

Tasteless & Overpriced
May 07, 2014

We ordered only seafood dishes and they were tasteless; that meant they were not fresh. MSG was loaded into each dish. Typical traditional Chinese restaurant's decoration. Service was poor.

This morning was our first and last visit to the above listed restaurant. Waited for a table for almost 45 minutes in a very small & crowded waiting area. Tables which were empty were not being cleared fast enough. The tea tasted like warm tap water - in simple words it was terrible. We ordered some pop to get rid... more

What a True Chinese Caterer Means
October 14, 2013

I have hired Dragon Dynasty / Rovey as the caterer for my wedding. With the size of my wedding (600 guests), I was a bit worried about if they can handle a catering that size but I'm impressed with what they've done to my wedding.
Food was excellent in temperature, taste, and presentation. With the size of my wedding, I... more

Worst Catering Experience Ever
August 25, 2013

This was the worst catering experience ever! It was for my best friends wedding and we wanted it to be special and perfect. The way the food turned out was a total embarrassment! The crispy chicken was extremely dry, the sauteed scallops were completely soggy, not one thing we ordered turned out good in the least bit.

Best Dim Sum
August 16, 2013

We visit Toronto twice a year and during our stays, we always have dim sum at this restaurant. The choices are numerous and the taste is superb! We are always welcomed and the staff and service is very good. The cost is a bit over average but it is worth it. No matter what day of the week it is,... more

This is where the locals go
March 22, 2013

The restaurant’s décor is slightly tacky with gold phoenix and dragons’ adorning the walls and strange patterned carpeting, but this is characteristic in many of the older Chinese restaurants. What sets Dragon Dynasty apart is that their staff is relatively nice and attentive – sadly a quality that can hard to come by. Additionally, I like that they maintain a... more

Atrocious
January 28, 2013

This is definitely NOT a place we'd visit again. No siree. From the moment we entered the restaurant, all signs indicated that we should have walked out immediately. The fact that the place was completely empty and totally ignored by the many local Asian immigrants when we walked in should have given us a clue.
It took 4-5 minutes to... more

Best Dim Sum in TO
January 22, 2013

We've been heading out to Brimley for years to this haven for Dim Sum lovers. Everything is so fresh, there's the widest variety of steamed, baked and fried dumplings, plus special goodies like excellent barbecued duck and pork, crispy wings and platters of bright green exotic vegetables. Go early or mid-week to avoid crowds of extended families that fill the... more

Dragon dynasty
July 29, 2012

Dim sum in Ontario is plentiful and usually inexpensive. Dragon Dynasty definitely serves incredible authentic dim sum. The selection of dim sum items is amazing. One of the drawbacks with dim sum is the waiting time to get a table. If you come after 10:30 am, then prepare to wait for a table because it gets crowded very fast. I’ve seen people even wait for an hour. But if you can tough it out... more

Great Chinese Food! Also for Veggies
July 15, 2012

One Sunday in July we made our way to Dynasty on Yorkville for their dim sum. Well, it was a truly wonderful experience. The food was served in a precious way. The high end feeling from this restaurant makes any visit worthwhile, but throw in the amazing food and you have a wonderful culinary experience. They have a lot of... more

Great if you want to tip for bad service
March 12, 2012

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had at dim sum was at this restaurant.
The wait staff was terrible and many of them were just standing around and talking. If you interrupt their conversation to ask them something, they'll give you the cold shoulder brush off.
Not too much choices on Dim Sim & not really fresh!!
I would recommend... more

Low Quality Chinese Food
February 25, 2012

I should have known better. A friend recommended dimsum lunch here which I think is okay. For dinner I suggested this resto with a group of friends. Truly disappointed from the start. The $38 Peking Duck was really not worth at all as it had the wrappers burned and on the tough side. They should have been fluffy and soft.... more

Real Chinese ... delicious
November 08, 2010

Dragon Dynasty is authentic, delicious Chinese food. I am not a fan of regular 'Canadian Chinese food' and the food served here is miles better than that stuff. It is fresh, fragrant, varied and wonderful - and at a very decent price. Today we stuffed ourselves with dim sum for less than $20/person; its great value. I've eaten here about... more

Dragon not Dargon
February 20, 2010

Dragon is the sister restaurant of Grand Cuisine at Doubletree. The variety of the dimsum is amazing, each shrimp morsel soft and tasty; buns are equally unbelievable filled with pork, custard or the like; chicken pies were flaky and filling. They have dishes I have never seen before. Their tofu is made from sheets and fresh not like the store... more

Having travelled to China, I can proudly say we have incredible authentic DIM SUM in Toronto. Dragon Dynasty does a great job exposing Toronto to delicious dishes as well as a different culture. Keep in mind if you are not versed in Chinese culture or have not travelled around Asia - keep an open mind to how another culture approaches dining.Waiting is expected & SO worth it - why else would... more

Bad Management, bad staff makes for absolutely terrible serivce.Management doesn't care about complaints. These people are more like money-grabbing theives. I put a tip which I felt reflected the service and the manager made a point to tell me that I didn't pay enough tips. When I justified my tip to him, he said "if you think the service is so terrible, don't come back next time".Absolutely... more

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had at dim sum was at this restaurant.My cousin and I waited ten minutes to get a number for a table and another ten to actually get a table - at which point we noticed that the guy who tried to cut in front of us in line (same party size) was already seated.... more

MMmmmmm, love that MSG. You know a Chinese restaurant is good when there is a lineup for DimSum. Then, all of a sudden, it's empty. What happened? Where did the chef go? They've had their glory time, and now is not it.

Possibly the best authentic Chinese food in North America. Prepare to wait a long time for a seat at their yum yum Dim Sum

One of the top 5 Chinese restaurants in Toronto, with dim sum lunch and delicacies in dinner time. Menu is somewhat creative. Check before you go by phone as there may be wedding parties taking the whole restaurant area.

This also is in regards to having a wedding banquet in Dragon Dynasty. My wife and I had our banquet in September of 2000. Unlike the person who left the above comment we had an excellent experience with the restaurant. Yes our wedding took place just before the problems that forced the restaurant for a month but that didn't stop our wedding from being a wonderful experience. All our guests... more
