I'd call it a typical Chinese restaurant. Nothing stood out to say OMG this is the best. It's convenient and very reasonably priced. The food was good, and lots of it. Nothing fancy. More

The House of Dynasty is a gem. It has to be one of the most beautiful Chinese restaurants I've ever seen. The first time I was there it was to pick up a take-out order - this restaurant was recommended to us by our son and daughter-in-law as a great place and since we were babysitting that particular evening, we...

Took the in laws here. We have been here many times. The both said it was the best Chinese food they ever had. So many great dishes! They have group dinners that give you the chance to try many meals. The service is just as excellent as the food. They have great attention to detail. It is weirdly located but... More

My family has gone here for years and we love it every time. Particularly the lunch is a tremendous value. It's always great! The staff are attentive and we always see friendly faces. It's our "go to" place for Chinese food. More

I located this restaurant through Google Maps on a trip South from Washington, D.C. We saw that it had good reviews, but were surprised by how superlative House of Dynasty is. The food is excellent, you are provided hot tea automatically, during the meal you are presented with a taste of fresh sorbet as a palate cleanser, and you are... More

Though not in a prime location, House of Dynasty is a great restaurant with nice decor and excellent Chinese food. I’ve enjoyed many of the better Chinese restaurants in the DC area and this one trumps them all. I’ve never had a disappointing meal and absolutely love their steamed dumplings and General Tso’s. I like so many of the entrees... More

Those reviews rating this place in superlatives puzzle me. While the atmosphere is pleasant, the food is totally average. Chinese food should be fresh and flavorful, but all you can ever find are the same few ingredients with the ususal white sauce or the usual brown sauce or the usual orange sticky sweet sauce. This place is no different. The... More

My husband & I go to House of Dynasty at least once monthly because we enjoy it so much. Sometimes we take a grandchild along with us and it is a standby for company who like Chinese-American fare. The food, service, presentation, and atmosphere are all dependably solid. Many local Chinese and Asians eat there. It sits unassumingly at the... More
