Dynasty Restaurant

Dynasty Seafood Restaurant
10123 North Wolfe Road #1688
Cupertino CA 95014
408-996-1680

Price: $$ (~$15 per person)
Food: :- (Mediocre)
Service: :-( Poor

Karin heard some big and loug hype surrounding this new restaurant. Things turned out to be big and loud, all right. Oh and don't forget about bright. WOW! I have never seen so many save-you-ten-dollars-per-year bazillion-watt screw-in florescent fixtures! There must have been 10,000 watts of illumination in this place (of course at the cost of only 8,000).

Parking: 1 -- The evening did not start off well. The restaurant is in a poor location and parking is difficult. We had to park on the opposite side of the mall and walk though the near-vacant mall. After dinner, we found the mall locked, forcing us to walk all the way around!

Service: 4 -- Slow and chaotic. We waited quite a while. A beer or glass of wine would have helped the wait. Alas there are only four items on the drink list: tea, coke, sprite and um, water.

Food: 7 -- The food was slightly better than good. (It's tough to be great for a Chinese restaurant in Silicon Valley.) The dishes were a bit salty and two of the dishes we had seemed to have the same sauce with different ingredients. The full Peking Duck was a winner, but we've had tastier at far less $$. The garlic encrusted fried crab was overcooked, reducing the crab's meat to no more than a delectable mush.

Had Dim Sum lunch there today when we got the bill, all the dishes seemed reasonable except for the roast pig. $18 for a small plate???? It was good but not that good. I think you can get half a pig for that elsewhere! Waiter was nice enough to give us the courtesy of an explanation but sheesh! Next time, we'll stick to the basics.
