From the moment I spotted the charming landscaped garden, I had a good feeling about Golden Dynasty. The big tank of ornamental carp in the entry foyer increased the positive vibe. I really like this restaurant's style. Special touches abound. Brilliantly colored carved vegetable flowers adorn every plate.
Candles illuminate the tables.
Tireless staff decked out in crisp black and white circle constantly with lemon-spiked ice water. I particularly enjoyed the Sichuan dumplings in hot sauce. Ten small beggar's purses, tender and light, contained a surprisingly mild but flavorful ground meat filling. A superb sauce tasted of sesame, soy, and peanut, with an occasional jolt of hot pepper. If your appetite is large, kick off the meal with the pupu platter.
